suRFAcINe THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily used In Building
Roads Are Too Expeneivc--Few
Good Suggestions.

Many Of the materials ordinarily
employed in road construction VIII be
found too expensive for use in improv-
ing the farm roads. One or more OF
the following will, however, usually
be found available and within the
means Of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: gravel, mixtures Of
sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from
old buildings, brickyard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
TO compact well and maintain a Arm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
err conditions.
The Jasper news., 1917-11-29

being puddled by the horses hoofs
and wagon wheels, can be smoothed
out and properly shaped Before dry
ing then the ideal is attained, and
this smoothing and shaping is the
work accomplished by the road drag.
The water standing In pools and pud-
dies Is spread out over larger sur
face, so that 1t dries quickly, the min
ute holes or pores in the clay are
smeared over and closed, making the
surface more nearly waterproof; the
ruts and holes are gradually filled
up and made smooth, and just enough
earth is moved toward the middle to
give the proper crown. The result 'ts
a smooth, hard, well-shaped road
which will shed water and never be-
comes very muddy in wet weather
or very dusty in dry weather.
From the above discussion 1t can
readily be seen that dragging should
be done when the road Is wet. or ut
least when 1t Is moist. The exact
time to drag any given road will de-
pend upon the character Of the road
material, and no exact rule can be
given which will fit all cases. If traf-
&c can be kept Off from the dragged
portion for awhile then the road may
be dragged when 1t is very wet apd
sloppy, but IL wagons are going to
follow right behind the drag, making
deep ruts as soon as the old ones
are filled up, the dragging must be
deferred until the road has partly
dried out. Good judgment and expert
ence on the part of the operator Will
soon tell him what Is the best time to
drag any given road. Roads which
dry out quickly must be dragged i'm
mediately after a rain, while others
may be allowed to dry for several
days before being dragged. Dragging
dry road simply makes 1t dusty.
Dragging should be done, II possible
after every rain, and as soon there
after as conditions are right.

Greatest Sugar Exporter.

Figures compiled by competent au-
thorlty a few months ago, showed that
since the beginning Of the European
war the United States. already known
as the greatest sugar consuming coun-
try. had also become the worlds great
est expc-ter of refined sugar. From
100000,000 pounds In 1913. our sales of
sugar to other countries increased
from 500.000,000 pounds during the
first year OF the war to 1,500000,000
during the year 1915. Formerly Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Russia and
France were large exporters Of refined
sugars.

THE NEW METHOD
(By L. w. Bower, M. d.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that the
kidneys are not working properly. Poison
Gus matter and uric acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as q similar congestion
in the head causes headache. You be-
come nervous, Respondent, sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing before the
eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambi-
ton to do things
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty of water be-
tween meals and take single An-u-ric
tablet before each meal for q while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anuric,- double strength. II you have

Why use ordinary cough remedies,
when Boschee's German Syrup has

years in all parts Of the United
States for coughs, bronchitis, colds

troubles. It gives the patient good
nights rest, free from coughing, with
easy expectoration in the morning,

dry ingredients, add three tablespoon
fuls of melted shortening with cup
full of boiled rice. Bake In well but
tered muffin pans 25 minutes. The
rice should be boiled tender and be

When serving rice In various ways

IMPROVE ROADS AND DRIVES
Where Any Considerable Amount Of
Hauling IL Necessary Surface
Improvement 10 Needed.

Roads and drives Immediately
around the farmyard and barns which
are used very frequently are usually
of SUFFICIENT Importance to warrant
some surface Improvement. Very light
or extremely sandy soils cut up badly
in dry weather. while certain heavy
and absorbent soils become very sticky
and soft during the rainy season.
Where any considerable amount Of
hauling Is necessary, roads over soils
or this character may require to be
