TO MORE STORIES

We started Pop 11utt0ns new
opening ceremony at the meeting FRI
day evening. After he had explained
the order to the scouts We lined up
in the hall and marched into the room.
Mr.. Hutton then made little speech
explaining the swearing-in Of the ten
derfoct, second class and first class
scouts. This ceremony of swearing In
Is very impressive and the scouts
should keep It this way and not play
while engaged IN performing this i'm.
portant duty. In closing Pop" said
that OF all his Sunday school, church,
Y. NJ. c. Al. clubs and settlement
work, the Scout movement is the best
for the boy and helps make the boy
into 9 man In q much better way. He
has had experience with boys for
over Is years, and so he should know
what Ia best. All scouts should be
proud that they are engaged in such
an important work, and that they be-
long TO such wonderful organization.
Pop was given three rousing cheers
after he had finished his little speech.
We are all proud of him and hope that

this the roll was called by the scribe.

As nation we have been criticized

Of the horse from the 'front.' rear and
both sides, so as to determine whether
he is or Is not built on the lines suit
able to do the work for which he is
wanted.
Temperament.-The temperament Of
horse furnishes evidence concerning
his disposition and his nerve force.
For instance, the nervous, excitable
animal Qacking a strong nervous sys-
tenn is hard to control under many
circumstances, while the sluggish,
phlegmatic horse, though docile, lacks
ambition and endurance. Desirable
temperament is indicated by large,
mild, bright eyes; width between the
eyes and behind the ears; forehead
neither too cOncave nor too convex {;
willing obedience to commands and an
alert, active, graceful carriage when
In motion. Temperament and dispOsi-
ton are influenced to some degree by
training and handling, so that it Is well
to keep these factors in mind when
testing the horse at work.
ture in all that goes to make up a
horse. 1t is not possible to examine all
the parts, but those exposed to view
will give a good idea of the others,
since in animals there is analogy be-
tween the various parts. The exter-
nal indications of quality in the horse
are dense, flintlike bone, covered with
fine, snugly fitting skin, and short soft
hair, the two latter to be of this char
acter over the entire body. Quality
also finds expression in thoroughly de-
fined lines between the various re-
giOns, In cleanCut features, and in a
general refinement of tissue and breed
mess throughout.
Color-Horses with any Of the dark
solid cOlOrs, such as bay, brown, chest
nut and black. are serviceable and sell
readily, Dark grays are in demand for
draft, show and hunting purposes, but
for other uses they are generally slow
sellers, because they turn white with
age. Pink-skinned whites, duns, mouse
cOlOrs ana spotted COlOrs sell at a dis
count except for uses where unusual
or gaudy cOlors are wanted. Grays
have the reputation of standing the
effect Of the hot sun unusually we'll,
whereas dark browns and blacks often
sunburn readily. White marks on the
legs and face are desirable for show
purposes, since they give a horse a
fashy appearance.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
ceIestials Planned to Trip Up Foes,
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut OFF Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war, says a contributor to the
Washington Star, one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at a review and go through a
very curious performance.
The soldiers carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaces.

ican.
"That regiment" a Chinese general
answered, 'is one of our very oldest.
1t is now practicing n form Of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand, throw water in his face
and, in the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to

CONCRETE PAVEMENT IS BEST
Affords as Good FoothoId for Horses
as Any Other Hard Surface and
Wears Quite Well.

The concrete pavement in use on the
main driveway at the Kansas State
Agricultural college has proved that
this type of pavement is successful,
according to L. u. Conrad, professor
of civil engineering. This pavement
has been in use for more than three
years and shows practically no wear
The traffic over this road is heavy.
1t consists of all the coal and machin-
cry delivered to the college, a large
part of the material that is used in the
construction of new buildings on the
campus, college mail and express, and
the many pleasure vehicles that are
continually using this road.
Two methods were used to surface
the road. On the level portion of the
roadway the finish was made cOmpar-
atively smooth, while on the grades a
heavy stable brush was drawn over
the green cement, leaving a rough sur
face. 1t is probable that after a few
years Of service the roadway which
has the smooth surface will present a
more uniform appearance but at pres
ent there is no appreciable difference.
"The teamsters hauling coal to the
college power plant were strongly Of
the opinion that the road would be
slippery" remarked Mr.COnrad, "but
they say, after using it for three years,
that 1T affords as good a foothOld for
the horses as any hard surface.
"The expansion and contraction OF
the concrete is taken up by steel-bOund
joints that are placed every 35 feet,
these joints being surrounded by an
elastic material. Outside of a few
dollars for replacing some of this ma
terlal, there has been no expense what,
ever for the repair or upkeep Of the
roadway"

BOSCHEES GERMAN

In our climate, with its sudden

friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A

SPRING WORK ON GOOD ROADS
One or Two Trips Up and Down With
Drag Will Put Them in Fine Con-
diton-Detais Of a Drag.
(By LEO MATTHEws)

In the spring of the year. when the
roads begin to dry and the dirt is
still somewhat moist, one or two trips
up and down with the road drag will
put them in excellent condition. If
each farmer would care for the road
which passes his place, dragging it
every time 1t needed it, we would all
have occasion to rejoice.
Personally, don't believe there is
a steel drag made that will beat the
work of the old King drag. Another
point in it's favor is that it can be
made at home and costs practically
nothing.
Because of constant inquiry for
plans Of this drag and to encourage

Outline Of King Drag.

It's further use I give this detailed
drawing and make the following sug-
gestions:
Use light wood. The drag will do
the most efficient work If it is light
enough for one man to lift.
Don't use square timber, as it will
not stay sharp on the edge like a
half-round timber. A log from 10
to II inches in diameter is best.
A strip of iron three-eighths Of an
inch thick, three or four inches wide
and thirty-six inches long bolted to
the r1ght-hand side Of the front tim
Der, is very effective in cutting down
unusually rough spots.

their relative values, will enable the

with considerable saving of time, in
convenience and expense. A thorough
examination for the various forms of
blemish, vice. faulty conformation and

essential If serviCeableness is to be Sc

cedure should be adhered to in making
the examination, which should cOrre-

attention will be invited.
Stable Vices.
Evidences Of stable vices can best be
seen by observing a horse in his stall.
Halter Pulling.-Horses wearing
extra heavy halters particularly
heavy rope halters) would be suspect
ed of halter pulling. Likewise a rope
tied from one stall to the other at
about the height of the quarters, or
the use Of what is known as the body
rope, may indicate this defect.
Cyibbing and Wind Sucking
Horses tnat suck wind through the
mouth, accompanied by a grunting
sound, are termed wind suckers. Crib
bers press their teeth on some object,
such as the manger, while sucking in
air, consequently the characteristic
wear on the teeth may indicate this
vice, as does also a broad strap
buckled snugly around the neck at the
throat latch. Horses with these hab-
its fill their stOmachs and intestines
with air, giving a bloated appearance
to the abdomen. They are hard to
keep in good condition and are some
what subject to collie.
Kicking-Heavy chains suspended
from the ceiling and hanging close to a
horses hind legs, the use of chain
hobbies, scars on the hind legs and
shoe prints on the partitions are evil
denCes of stall kicking.
Have the horse led out Of the stable,
so that he may be inspected in a good
light and on level and solid footing.
Normal health is indicated by an alert,
graceful carriage, rich, lustrous coat,
and good condition as to flesh. If

DETERMINE IF SOIL is ACID
Most Common Test Is by Means of
Blue Litmus Paper-How Opera
ton May Be Performed.

The most common test for determln-
ing II soil is acid or sour is by means
of blue lltmus paper, which can be OBJ
tanned at very small cost from nearly
every druggist. A small quantity Of
soil from the field is cOmpacted into a
ball, the ball broken into halves, a
strip of litmus paper laid across one
part and the parts pressed firmly to-
gether again. After an hour or so the
ball of soil should be again broken
apart and the paper removed. If the
paper shows decided pink color the
sample of soil is acid.
If deep-rOoted crop such as alfalfa
is to be grown 1t will be well to test
samples taken from both the surface
soil and the subsOil.
