Mistaken Identity.

The other afternoon woman rushed
excitedly down an alley in poor quar-
ter Of Manchester, and, stopping at a
house, knocked loudly.
Receiving no reply, she knocked q
second time. Still no answer.
A third time she knocked, and then
q window above was hastily flung
open, and woman whose appearance
betrayed signs of a sudden awaken
ing leaned out.
"Well, what is itT she asked.
The woman below looked up and
exclaimed, with bated breath:
"Mrs. Skinner, yer 'usband's got ten

Dear, dear me, Mrs. Jones'" was
the reply, sis that all7 'Ow yed did

FALL AND WINTER WORK ON EARTH ROADS

In maintaining an earth road in toll
cradle condition for spring traffic, the
most important thing is to get the
water away from the road and to keep
1t away. To get the best results, this
should be done all through the fall and
winter. But, in any event, It viii pay
the county in the early spring to have
the road man go over the road daily
to see that drains and side bitches do
not become clOgged. 1t Is at this time,
also, that the road drag can be en-
ployed to the best advantage. By
clearing a roadway of slush 1t win pre-
vent the water from soaking into and
sOftening the subgrade.
Holes Cause Trouble.
Mud holes, in fact, are the cause OF
most of the trouble on clay or gumbo
roads. To get rid of them, the first
step Is 20 dig trench to the side and
allow the water and mud, to drain Off.
II necessary, the side bitches should
be opened also. After this all of the
soft mud left in the hole should be
removed and the bottom of the trench
filled with broken stone or coarse
gravel In order to provide drain that
will prevent the further accumulation
of water. Gravel, If available, is the
best material for filling the old mud
hole. If none can be obtained, the best
earth on hand should be tamped down
In three or fOur-inch layers. To at
tempt to fill a mud hole by throwing in
large stones is fatal. 1t simply results
in two mud holes instead of one. 1t is
useless, too, to attempt to fill a hole
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-11-09

without first draining out the water
and removing the soft mud The use
of sOds or similar material which abb
corb water readily Is a waste Of labor.
Treat Ruts With Drag.
On earth or gravel roads ruts are
best treated with the drag. The rain
fer the weather the more often the
road should be dragged. A liberal use
Of the drag with thin coat of sand
or gravel spread over the surface
when softened by rain will frequently
put a poor earth road in such a condi-
ton that it can carry heavy traffic for
a short time.
On the other hand, sand roads give
less trouble In wet weather because
the moisture tends to hold the separate
grains of sand in place.
In addition to the pressing need for
proper maintenance In order to keep
earth roads passable under the unfa-
vOrabIe conditions frequently encOun-
tered at this time, road work is deslr-
able in the early spring in order that
the road may become thoroughly con-
sOlldated before summer comes.
AS has been pointed out, the addi-
tion of clay or gumbo to sand roads
and the addition of sand to clay or
gumbO roads improves the highway
very materially. If this work is done
during moist weather, the materials
combine much more quickly. Again, If
grading is put off until later in the
the read will become very
dusty in dry weather and will need
additional attention later in the fall.

URGENT FACTOR IN FEEDING
Bunch Of Steers VIII Not Touch Dry
Corn Fodder While SIlaue
is Before Them.

Place slIage and dry corn-fodder be-
fore a bunch Of steers and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed Of the first. This is
an important factor in feeding, be-
cause .palatability adds to digestive
qualities Of feed, and the more a steer
digests the more fat he will put on.
