On all work where Federal aid money

l believe it is always better to have
clear understanding beforehand,
rather than an unpleasant settlement

asked these local boards in just what
manner they were going to maintain

or road supervisor was a skilled man
and II the roads under his charge at
the present time were properly main
tanned This latter question was gem
orally facer to them, and they had
to acknowledge that their roads were
not efficiently maintained. Then have
explained to them that the proper main
tcnance of road means the providing
of an adequate organization to main
tain this road; that some man must be
definitely responsible for tho road at
all times, and that 1t is much better
10 have one conscientious man devote
his whole time TO road work and to
know that he has a sure means of live
lihood SO long as he performs his du-
ties, than to spasmodically work the
road with gangs of men who have little
interest in such work.

cow NEEDS RESTING PERIOD
Flow Right Up to caIving Time
Rest Is Important.

The dairying department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows a
rest of six weeks or more before they
freshen. Some cows may maintain a
good flow of milk right up to calving
time, and in such cases the dairyman
hesitates to dry them off for a rest
period of several weeks. This should
be done, however, and the COW we'll fed
so that she will be in good flesh when
she freshens.
The work Of producing heavy yield
Of milk for ten months or year is a
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another lactation period.
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin in flesh, she should be given
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss OF what milk the COW
might produce during the dry period
will be made up several times over
by an increased yield during the fol-
lowing lactation period. A good rest
and liberal feeding preceding the date
Of calving helps largely to bring about
a good yield during the following year.

DECEIVING ONES HUSBAND OR WIFE

day. She thinks she is perfectly justi-
fed in this course. The husband of
such woman never knows really
''where he is a."
He believes that IL actually costs
more to run the house than 1t really
does. How much better IL would be
for the wife to take her husband into
her confidence, telling him that she
made purchases under the figure and
she has put by the balance for their
mutual good later on.
AS for deceiving him about the hab-
its of her home folk that is quite an
other story. Their faults and their
follies are their own affairs. She has
no right to exploit them. If he finds
them out he cannot blame her for
keeping mum. He will have all the
more confidence in her, realizing she
will keep his affairs to herself and
not tell them about his shortcomings
or troubles In burst of confidence.
Married couples should be careful
as TO which tells each other the first
fib, and stop uttering 1t as 1T rushes
to their lips. To love truly each must
have confidence in the other. If either
is suspected of deliberately falsifying
to the other, one does not know how
far he or she could trust the other.
Little fibs lead to graver and greater
ones.
Happy Is the husband who can say
in all truth, "My wife has never know
ingly deceived me even in the most
trifling affair" Happy is the wife
who can say the same of her husband.
But is there such one?

Most of European Rulers
Have Also Become Monarchs
In the World of Business

Royalty does other things than rul-
ing. In the business world many Of
Europe's crowned heads are said to
have achieved notable success, the fol-
lowing examples of which are pointed
out by a writer in Tit-Bits:
The king of Spain is the proprietor
of large motor and bicycle factory
near Madrid.
The kaiser runs a cafe at Potsdam,
close to his castle gates. He also re-
ceives large dividends from a lager
beer brewery in Hanover; and he is
the sole owner of the big and flourish
ing. porcelain works at Cadinen, which
return him profit of about per cent
on a capital of $500,000.
King Peter of Servia owns q shaw
ing saloon and chemists shop in Bel
grade. Before the war, his majesty
was the agent for well-known
French motor car.
The queen of Holland supplies
from her dairy, near the palace at Het
Loo, large proportion of milk con-
sumed by buyers in Amsterdam.
Before the war the king of Wurt-
temberg drew net profit of at least
$4,000 a year from the hotels he
owned in the Black Forest.
The beautiful queen of sorely strick-
en- Roumania started, few years ago,
factory for manufacturing tooth
picks. So successful was this enter
prise before the war, that her majesty
was able to make quite a comfortable
income out of 1t.
The czar of Russia is timber mer-
chant. The duke of Ulrich of Wurt-
temberg owns one of the largest cor
set factories in the world. The grand
duke of Saxe-Weimer is a butcher.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI Of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First In Cow.

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production of milk and butterfat. The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of a cow which wear out first.
especially the former. This is caused
in great part by the cow having to eat
hard dry unground grain. There is an
old saying, mo chain is stronger than
Its weakest link" With the dairy COW
also this holds true. When one organ
Of digestion wears out, then the whole
COW Is useless.
A good dairy COW should be kept as
long as possible, and IL she is properly
fed and cared for, she will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give a
nice mess of milk at the age Of twenty
years.

DETHRONING KING
POTATO
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON,
Commissioner of Health of Penn
sylvanla.

The potato recently has been the
most advertised vegetable we have.
Its consumption far exceeds any other
vegetable made up of a large proper
tion of starch. Let us consider the
claims of the potato to the high dignity
that has suddenly been thrust upon it.
The human digestive system is linn
tied in its power to digest properly
large quantities of starch. Americans
have made general use of starchy
foods, and this practice is playing its
part in checking the natural growth
of our people, both in mind and in
body.
The excessive eating of potatoes, so
often taken at meal simply as a mat
ter of habit when there are other
starchy foods and sugar in the meal
TO supply the same want, causes
catarrhal condition of the digestive
system, thereby preventing the normal
working of the glands of digestion.
Gradually a diseased condition Of the
organs of digestion results and this
prevents natures process of preparing
food for assimilation. Consequently
the system has to absorb the waste
products and a gradual starvation and
poisoning is the result. The catarrhal
patient, in addition, gradually loses re-
slstance to germ diseases
From babyhoOd and childhood up,
we Americans indulge in an excess of
| Il. A "A to- 10
mands starch along with meat and fat,
of course, but we indulge in an excess
of starch and the habit often continues
through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about so per
cent of water, and in skinning and
eying we lose on an average about 10
per cent of the raw potato. The bak-
ing of potatoes causes less loss and
produces the most wholesome prepara-
ton for human consumption that can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with the po-
tato in the limelight and its cost out of
all proportion to its real value? The
answer is that its use can not only be
cut down TO a normal proportion of the
diet for those who like its taste, but
1t can be entirely replaced by other
foodstuffs which would supply starch
in even greater quantities.
Potatoes have 1S parts to the 100
of starch and sugar (carbohydrates) /;
jellies and marmalades 60 to 80 parts (;
rice, 10; buckwheat and barley, II;
hominy, 49, cracked wheat 70; maca-
roni and spaghetti, IA; raisins, 6S;
oatmeal, 81; toast, &c; beans, 60;
! bread, so to 60; chocolate, 80; canned
peas, 9; dried peas 62.
In raisins the carbohydrates are
mostly of the soluble variety known as
sugars. In all the other foods men
toned the carbohydrates present are
mainly starch.
With these things in mind, it is not
hard to think of the potato being
knocked off its pedestal.

Wise and Otherwise.

Real success, consists in
achieving satisfaction.
Some men have courage only
when they lose their tempers.
Fools throw kisses but the
wise men deliver them in per-
son.
Favors are seldom satisfac-
tory. The best way is not to
need them.
Great men do much for others
and take il out in posthumous
fame.
A vivid imagination Is often
even more dangerous than Il lit
tie learning.
When Adam and Eve put on
fig leaves they organized the
first style show.
Getting up in the morning is a
struggle for those people who do
not make IL worth while.
Travel often broadens a mans
mind and also his girth, If he
can afford TO stop at first-class
hotels.
No man is so strong or great
that he is not afraid of some
body. The chances being that
the somebody is a woman.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Massachusetts, Experiment Station
Recommends Feeding Mixture Cost
inq Three Cents Pound.

Nothing is better than milk on which
TO raise thrifty, growing calves,
whether they are intended for the
dairy, the feed lot or the show ring.
The ordinary farmer often finds milk
too expensive as a calf feed. The fol-
lowing substitute is recommended by
the Massachusetts Experiment sta
ton: Twenty-Five pounds ground
oats, ten pounds llnseed meal, five
pounds middlings, IL pounds fine corn
meal, 11a pounds fine blood meal, one
half pound salt. Total cost, three cents
a pound.
Prepare by adding one-half pound
of meal to two quarts of boiling water
for each feed. AT each feeding moisten
the meal first with little cold water
to prevent 1t forming Jumps, and then
pour on the boiling water, and stir
well. When this is cooled down to
the temperature of milk fresh drawn
from the cow it is ready to feed.
1t is better to let the calf have whole
milk for about week, then gradually
introduce a little of the milk substl-
tute for ten days or two weeks, when
you can cut out the milk entirely.
AS soon as the calf will eat, let It
have hay and little of the meal dry,
together with fresh water. Always
have the calf meal mixture milk
warm when fed. Have the buckets
clean and do not overfeed. A young
calf will usually begin to eat hay at
about three weeks old.
