HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Estimated Cost of 100000, 900 to Get
Surplus Farm Products to Mar.
ket or to Railroad.

After careful inquiry 1t has been
found that the average haul Of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station Is IL miles, and the aver
age cost of hauling over the common
country roads Is Is cents a ton per
mile, or So q ton for q 12-mile haul.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 3O0,0O0,000 a year. On the
estimate of So ton for IL miles this
would make the total cost Of getting
the surplus products Of the farm to
the local market or to the railroad no
less than 100000 figure greater
than the operating expenses Of all the
railroads Of the United States. If any
thing could make On argument for

DUTY OF PRESENT MINISTRY
Better Than All the Post-Mortem Tes-
timonias and Devotion We
Can BestoW.

Do not keep your sublime love and
tenderness sealed up until your friends
are dead. Fill their lives with sweet
ness; speak approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear them, and
while their hearts can be thrilled and
be made happier by them. The kind
things you mean to do when they are
gone, do before they go. The flowers
you mean, to send for their coftins,
send to brighten and sweeten their
homes before they leave them. If my
friends have alabaster boxes laid
away full of fragrant perfumes of SYM
pathy and affection which they intend
to break over my dead body, 1 would
rather they would bring them out in
nv weary and troubled hours and open
them that l may be refreshed and
cheered by them while I need them
I would rather have plain coffin with
out flowers, funeral without eulogy
than life without sweetness OF love
and sympathy. Let us learn to anoin1
our friend beforehand for burial. Post
mortem kindness does not cheer the
burdened spirit; flowers on a coffin
cast no fragrance backward over the
weary way.--SeieItGd.

The advice to Gull early seems un'
necessary this year, when every
breeder is anxious to realize on bis

he has been putting into chickens. For
the home flock one wants early cock

CLOVER SUPERIOR FOR EGGS
Year Its Use Is Becoming More
F., General on Farms.

For years clover has been favor
ite food for fowls, and each year its
use is becoming more general. There
is large percentage of nitrogen and
mineral matter in clover. What is
known as "rowen," the second crop,
is best. In q high nutritive ration
clover equals barley, and almost equals
wheat.
1t should be cut when in full bios
som, i. e., it should not be cut before
the first blossoms begin to turn
brown.
Being very rich in protein, clover
contains potash, soda, phosphoric acid
and other ingredients that make it one
of the best feeds for poultry. In short,
clover contains all the essentials in
well-balanced proportion. In q ton OF
clover there are about 80 pounds of
nitrogen.

: ROAD
BUILDING
HURRY GOOD ROADS BUILDING
Country to Profit In Future From
Highways Built as Necessity OF
Warfare and Defense.

It Is the general opinion of motor
lists arriving in Washington from all
parts of the country that the, war
with Germany is acting as sharp
prod to speed up road building.
Whatever the war costs the nation
In dollars and lives, it will result IN
the building Of thousands of miles Of
usable roads in all sections, for these
highways are now rated as one Of the
necessities Of warfare and defense,
says Washington Star.
Possibilities of an invasion are re-
mote, but now that it has been decid-
ed to send an expeditionary force
abroad, 1t is certain that other thou
sands will follow, hence the mobiliza-
tion of troops on the seaboard is some
thing not to be overlooked.
Railroads are up to their ears IN
other work and have shown their lack
Of equipment to meet ordinary de-
mands of q period Of fast growth and
an attendant increase Of consumption.
So other means may have to be relied
upon to hustle the boys in khaki to the
ports, whence they will sail for the
front. For this purpose the motor We
hicle is ready, and all it needs to add
to its wonderful record Of efficiency In
q pinch is q system of roads which can
be travelled in safety and at speed dur"
ing all seasons.
Here on the East, where the troops
will be massed before sailing, good
roads are considered as Of vital inter-
est to the nation just as the raising
of vegetables in fields and yards which
heretofore have produced nothing.
Throughout the Atlantic area the
road builders are hard at it, and, In
spite of the urgency Of the calls for
men for other purposes, help Is being
enlisted in the cause.
An immense amount Of road building
work is being done in the South, and
in the Central West thousands of miles
of roads are under way, these forming
the connecting link and making pos
sible hurried trips if such are needed.
Experts point out that automobiles can
take an army of 100000 men from the
Middle West to New York in less time
than can the railroads, and when the
highways are improved great cut

FEED LATE HATCHED CHICKS
Little Ones Should Be Fed Separately
From Older Fowls-Thorouehly
Disinfect Coops.

1t is mistake to put the late
hatched chicks in the same yards with
older ones, to allow them to run on
ground which has been more or less
fouled by the earlier broods, or to use
the coops which earlier broods have
used unless these coops have been
thoroughly disinfected. The little ones
must also be fed separate from the
larger ones or the latter will get most
of the feed besides abusing the smaller
ones.

The West is not overlooking any

There is not q state in which it is not

The early Matching ducklings, If they

cent those which are to be kept over
for breeding purposes, and they should
not be fattened, but should remain on
free range If possible.
