GAMER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shows Greatest
Gain over Present Conditions is
Man on Branch Road.

The development of sentiment
for issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surface many
questions which require careful con-
,sideration and demand clearly stated
and convincing replies. OF these, the
one recurring most frequently is:
"What advantage is there in bond Is
sue for the farmer who lives several
miles from one Of the improved
roadsT
At first glance 1t would seem that
the man living directly upon the i'm
proved road obtains the greatest bene-
fits, but careful analysis proves that
the greatest gain over present condi-
lions Is the man on the side road.
With the limited road and bridge
funds usually available in any town.
ship and the necessity of keeping the
main highways at least in passable
condition, little or nothing is left for
working upon the less Travelled roads.
AS repair expense practically ceases
when permanent roads are built, the
road and bridge funds formerly spent
on main roads will be released for use
upon the Side roads.
In addition, money spent upon these
side roads will 60 five times as far,

ROAD :
blDIL. Ding
ROYAL LINE IN A DEMOCRACY
"Roads Rule the WorId--Not Kings or
Congresses, Not Courts, Nor Con-
stables or Soldiers"

In an argument for good roads some
wise man, whose name has been lost.
made use of the following: "Roads
rule the world-not kings, nor con-
crosses, nor courts, nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road is
the only royal line in democracy, the
only legislature that never changes,
the only court that never sleeps, the
only army that never quits, the first
MD to the redemption of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation in any So
ciety, the call from savagery in any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity,

out beginning Of days or end of life.
The road is umpire In every war, and
when the new map Is made, 1t simply
pushes on It's great campaign Of help,
hope, Brotherhood, efficiency and
peace"
The value of good roads may be
better understood when 1t Is known
that the average cost to farmers of
the United States to transport produce
to market is more than % cents per
ton per mile. These figures do not in
clude the cost of breakage of harness
or vehicles. The cost per ton per
mile over hard-surfaced roads Is less
than half the present average.

DEVELOPMENT OF HONEY BEE
Insects Pass Three Different Stages to
Reach Maturity-story Told by
Entomoioolsts.

Bees, like all true insects, pass
three different stages to reach matu-
rity, or a well-developed bee. The egg,
which is a tiny little object about the
size of timothy seed, is laid by the
queen In wax cell. 1t matches In
about three days and then becomes a
small crescent-shaped larva which
must be fed. Nurse bees feed 1t with
a mixture of predigested honey and
pollen and this food is absorbed by
the skin. 1t is some time later before
the mouth parts and abdominal cavity
are formed.
The larvae are said to moult very
often, as the skin becomes too tight,

After about six days when It is much
larger than the original size a porous
cover Is put on the cell and coeoons
spun. Then dormant state exists
for II days. In about 81 days from
the time the egg was laid the cell 10

free from moisture and free from

with the geographical location. In the

storage cellars are made almost en-

Outdoor Affairs Can BE Maintained at
Uniform Temperature Over Long
Period--ventIIators Add to
Efficiency.

Outdoor storage cellars or caves are
excellent for the storage Of many yege-
tables. They are particularly desir-
able on the farm, as they afford con-
yenient and inexpensive storage facili-
ties for surplus vegetable crops that
otherwise might be lost. They possess
all the advantages of the storage room
In the basement and are superior In
many respects. The outdoor storage
cellar can be maintained at uniform
temperature over long period. 1t Is
possible to keep the cellar cool and
quickly to reduce the temperature Of
the stored product to the desired
point for safe storage by opening the
door during the night and closing II
In the morning before the dir becomes
warm. All ventilators should, likewise
be- kept tightly closed until the out
side air Is again cooler than that with
