q cross section adapted especially to
flat grades where a considerable vol
ume of water must be carried. bitches
of the cross sections shown in figures
l and 2 have the advantage in that
they may be constructed with an or
binary road grader, which is not true
of the section shown in figure 3.

struct side bitches that will carry the
required amount of water without
washing, paved cutters should be en-
ployed. Suitable cross sections for

construct cutters, earth side bitches
frequently may be kept from washing
by the use of breakers.

"DoIIy!" He Implored.

slender, graceful figure of a young girl
exouisitely dressed in the latest mode.
She turned her head to study the door
way of a building, and he discovered
she was Dolly Kemper. In the moV-
ing mass of people he could not tell
who was with her. He grew curious
to know, for of course, she was not
alone at night in that crowd. But as
he kept her in sight, he saw that she
was alone. He had no excuse to IN
trude his company upon her, but as he
had no especial stopping point in view
he kept on in the wake OF the girl.
After all why should not any young
lady be on Broadway in the evening!
She was as safe there as anywhere,
and probably she was on the way to
visit friend.
Sperry, feeling slightly disguised
with himself, was about to turn back,
when he saw Miss Kemper go into
cafe. 1t was one Of the ''loudest" in
the city. All sorts frequented the place,
and any man present felt at liberty to
ask any lady to dance with him. He
was positively aghast at this girl go
ing in there alone. She could not pos
sibly know the reputation of the place.
He hurried after her, and reached her
side before she had entered the inner
door. She looked at him in kind Of
annoyed surprise.
"AIiss Kemper," he stammered, twill
you allow me to go in with you"
'Thank you" she answered Jelly,
"but I am expecting to meet friends.
I will not trouble you" She turned
and left him standing nonplused in
the lobby.
He went back to the street In an odd
frame of mind. Here was the girl he
had heretofore regarded as simply
good" in a surprisingly new light. He
wondered if her mother knew the kind
of friends" she was going to meet il
this place. He was rather sure his
mother didn't. She had sent him about
his business with unexpected brevity
and decision. Perhaps 1t was curios-
ity, he didn't stop to analyze, but he
wanted to see what would happen next
and he turned and went back into the
cafe with it's dazzling lights, hum Of
voices, strident violins, smell of wine,
and moving mass of dancers. He
meant to watch Dolly Kemper without
being observed. Finally he located
her. She was dancing with fat, bald
headed man whom he did not know,
but whose face and expression he
loathed. After the dance she went

Probably the reason why Ed Sperry
so carefully avoided Dolly kemper
was because his mother had held her
up to him as a pink Of perfection. 1t
has never been quite satisfactorily
explained why the young male OF the
species invariably SHES at the term "a
good girl" and so invariably demands
it in the same girl after they are mar
ried.
At any rate, Mrs. Sperry saw the I'M
selfshness, kindness and clear head
Of Dolly Kemper, and made the I'M
tactful mistake Of telling her son
about it, and suggesting that he pay
the young lady some attention when
Mrs. Sperry invited her to tea. Prob
ably if she had not so insistently en-
larged on her good qualities, her son
might have found out for himself
that Dolly could be jolly company,
even if she was "good."
"Yes, mother" he rejoined on one
of these occasions, "no doubt she's
pattern young lady; she'd have to be
to average up the family. That broth
err of hers is rapid enough to bring
down the balance. What he doesn't
know about this little town of New
York wouldn't run two lines in 'Racy

eyes, I know" said Mrs. Sperry,
thoughtfully. "Dolly never says much,
but I know what a grief it is to her,
and he is breaking his mothers heart"
"Joe hasn't done anything you'd call
actually vicious. He's more like what
The southern darkies call 'triiin'.' He
has lost two positions through having
too many good times, staying all
night at cafes; and drinking too much.
He probably won't keep the one he
has another month"
Mrs. Sperry shook her head sadly.
and looked with equal satisfaction and
gratitude at her own son, who took
his pleasures more sparingly, and not
only kept his position in a large mer-
camille firm, but had just received his
second advance in salary.
A short time after this young Sperry
was one evening walking down "the
great white way" with the rather
vague intention of dropping into one of
the theaters or the movies" The daz-
zling electric displays lit up the gay
throng of pleasure-seekers hurrying
or sauntering in opposite directions.

from Jersey cows has a higher per-
centage of protein and sugar than
Holstein milk. Guernsey milk is quite
similar to that of the Jersey, while
Ayrshire milk is intermediate between
that of these two breeds and the Hol-
stein.
These analyses indicate that the per-
centage of protein in milk increases
with the fat content, but not in pro-
portion. Skim milk from Holstein
milk having 3.3 per cent fat contained
3.5 per cent protein, while Jersey milk
testing At per cent fat had Al per cent
protein. The variation in sugar con-
tent showed a similar tendency. Thus
the fat content of milk offers q prac-
teal basis to compute the composition
of skim milk derived from it.

RAISING CALF ON SKIM MILK
Young Animal Should Be Taught to
Eat Grain Early-ln No Case
Feed 1t in Milk Ration.

The calf which is to be raised on
skim milk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to it, many of them will begin eating
at two weeks of age or three at the
latest.
The grain should be placed in a box
where they can easily get at it, and
they can be encouraged at first by plac-
ing little in their mouths after they
have consumed their milk. Grain can
best be fed dry after the milk is fed.
In no case should it be fed in the
milk, as in that case it will be gulped
down without chewing, which is bad
for the digestion.

PROTECTION FaH MILK Gang
Heavy Blanket, Dipped in Water and
Wrapped Around Receptacle,
Keeps Out Much Dust.

The only way to have cream reach
the creamery as clean as when it left
the farm is to protect the can. This
is best done by the use of heavy
blanket, kept for that purpose, dipped
in clean water and wrapped around
the can so as to completely cover all
but the bottom. Dust will sift through
a dry blanket quite rapidly.
The cream can, even if protected
from dust, should, if possible, be kept
shaded during transportation to the
creamery.
If the creamery managers and but
ter makers would insist that patrons
protect their cans the grade of cream
would be greatly improved, the cans
would look better and the labor OF
washing before returning them to the
patrons would be greatly reduced.

FATTEfIiuG RATION IN IOWA
BY Reducing Corn aad Increasing
Silage> Rapid Gains Were Made
With Less Expense.

Silage has cheapcnel the fattening
ration for steers in Iowa. One lot, re-
ceiving each per day II pounds shelled
corn, 20 pounds si!age, 2 pounds oil
meal and IL pouncS alfalfa, made
gains at cost of 1857 while another
lot, receiving So pounds corn, 81
pounds silage, 2 pounds oil meal and
IL pounds alfalfa, made gains at
cost Of $7.67. The first lot avr aged
2.94 pounds gain FER day while the
second lot averaged 3.04 pounds.
Reducing the corn and increasing the
ensilage increased the gains and cut
down the cost of making gains.-North

These water breaks may consist OF

the travelled way into the side bitches.

Objectionable, especially to automobile

section of a road surface depends on
two opposed factors:
(a) It is desirable to get water away
from the surface as quickly as prac-
ticable, so as to prevent the surface
material from being softened by sat
uration or washed by water collecting
in, and flowing along, ruts.
Obi 1t is desirable to keep the cross
section of the road as fiat as is con-
sistent with good drainage, because
traffic distributes itself over fiat road
surface much better than over one
that is heavily crowned, and an even
distribution of traffic makes toward
uniform wear and comparatively light
maintenance. There is also less danger
of skidding on road of flat cross Sec
ton than where the surface is crowned.
In general, the amount of crown
should be greater on grades than on

SHEEP RETURN GOOD PROFIT
More Profitable Than Any Other Class
of Live Stock, Says Instructor at
Kansas College.

"Sheep will return a greater profit
for each dollar invested than any other
class of live Stock" in the opinion Of
A. NJ. Paterson, instructor in animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. For this reason farm
ers should give more attention to the
sheep industry.
"None of the disadvantages, the most
important of which are dogs, parasites
and disease, should discourage the
flock MASTER" said Mr.. Paterson.
"Proper care and management will con-
troll and largely eliminate these trou-
bles. The flock that has to rustic for
itself is the one that is hit the hardest
by pests. With little feed and atten-
ton the sheep will be in q more health

STALE MILK CAUSES SC0URS
Pals and Utensils Used in Feeding
Calves Must Be Kept Clean to
Avoid Diseases.

Old or stale milk often causes indi-
gestion or scOurs. A calf is better off
to miss a feed than to have Il feed OF
sour milk Pals and utensils must be
kept clean.
A good rule is to keep the calf pals
as clean as the milk pals. The hand
separator on the farm makes it posi-
BILE to get the milk to the calf fresh,
warm, and sweet.
Calves can be raised on skim milk
where cream is raised by gravity, but
more difficulties are experienced.

level stretches of road, because the
tendency for water to wash away the
surface by collecting in and flowing
along ruts depends largely upon the
steepness of the grade. Also the care
with which a road is to be maintained
may have an important influence or
the amount of crown that should be
given to the surface. 1t is evident that
a road surface maintained in smooth
uniform condition will shed water Off
to the side bitches with much less
crown than would be required where
ruts are allowed to form.

sand. In such cases it is preferable
that the cross section be fiat so as to
retain as much moisture as practicable,
though in cold climates a slight crown
may be desirable in order to afford
drainage when the surface is frozen.
But sand roads must be surfaced with
some other material if they are to be
improved to any extent, and in that
case the surface of the travelled way
would have to be crowned as usual.
Also, where curves occur in the align
rent it is desirable to "bank" or ele-
yate the outer edge of the roadway and
thus make the crown one way.

line of farm tile laid to proper grade
under each side ditch is, in general, the
most satisfactory way Of securing ade-
uuate underdrainage. Either four-inch
or six-inch tile is employed for this
purpose.

structed wherever it is necessary to
carry water across the road.

Effective drainage usually should be
the very first consideration in connec-
ton with the location and design of
any road. This statement requires no
explanation, because the action Of wa
ter in changing clay into mud and in
causing all kinds of soils, except sand,
to give way when load is applied, is
familiar to every person living in a
humid climate. The following sum-
mary supplies few suggestions as to
how water may best be removed from
a road bed:
1. The road surface should be
crowned so as to shed water off to the
side bitches as rapidly as it falls on
the road.
2. Wherever the road is in an exca-
walton, suitable side bitches or cutters

"Sheep produce two cash crops a
year-wool in the spring and lambs in
the fall. They can be grown and main
tanned upon a greater percentage of
roughage and a smaller percentage of
grain than any other class Of live
stock. They will clean up the weeds
from the farm and convert other feeds
into a marketable product.
"As a source of fresh meat, which Is
wholesome in character and flavor, a
flock of sheep is the best. This fresh
meat is the most healthful class OF
meat because fewer sheep are con-
demned than any other class OF live

The Whisky lnsurrection.
In the last years of Washington's
administration, the people OF west
ern Pennsylvania started uprislngs
against the power of the excise au-
thorities, known at the time as the
"whisky insurrection." About the mid
die of 1899 General Neville, the chief
excise officer, was attacked in his
house and in other places valuable
property was destroyed. There was
a tumultuous meeting of the people at
Washington, Pa, and rally of armed
men at Braddock's field. The upris-
ings were brought to an end through
the vigorous efforts of James Ross, a
prominent lawyer Of Washington, Pa,
who had been elected a few months
before to the United States senate to
fill SUIT the unexpired term Of Albert
Gailatin.
