SPRING DRAINING WILL
PREVENT MUDDY ROADS
bitches to Carry OFF Surface
Water viii Allow Roads to
Dry Rapidly.

The bane Of earth roads is
water. To wet the foundation,
is to quickly ruin the road.
When the frost goes out in the
spring, the fields are allowed to
drain into the roadway, regard
less of proper provision to take
care Of the excess water. Road
bitches are usually of small capa-
city and often become clogged
so that excess water backs up
over the road and quickly trans
forms it into a bottomless mire.
Farmers should provide their
owned bitches for drainage, in
side their fence lines, and carry
them to points of natural out
let in order to save the roads.
Conditions frequently arise
where the use of a plow or a
spade for ten minutes would re-
lieve a half-mile Of road from
the effects Of backwater, and en-
able it to dry out for use in two
days. Without this relief, it
will remain in bad condition fo1
several weeks.
Let farmers, for their own pro-
lection, watch the drainage OF
the roads past their farms
When roads are looked upon as
an evidence of shiftlessness or
the part Of the adjacent farm.

improvement.

These Pruning Methods May Put
Your Orchard On A Pay
ing Basis.

Il WI VI 80 -
ing Basis.
Farmers who wish to put their
orchards in shape for profitable
production should begin pruning,
whenever the wood is not froz-
en-, in mid-winter. Trees in
heavy bearing condition will
make stronger growth if prun-
ing is done during late winter
and early spring. Pruning dur
ing June and July will slightly
check the rank growth on trees
that are making too much wood
growth and tend to throw them
into bearing for the following
year. DR.. ]. C. Whitten, Pro-
fessor of Horticulture in the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture
gives directions for winter prun-
ing.
Remove all dead or badly dis
eased limbs. Clean out all cank-
er wounds on the trunk and main
limbs with a tree scraper. Cut
we'll into the rim of healthy
wood on all sides Of the wound,
to get rid of the disease. Then
paint the wound with common
white lead and oil paint, to each
quart of which has been added
one teaspoonful Of bichloride of
mercury dissolved in turpen-
tine (about an ounce.) Paint all
canker and pruning wounds as
soon as made.
Begin at the top and prune the
tree to secure a low, broad
spreading branching system
with open center, to admit sun
light and air from above. Dc
not remove strong lower limbs
if they can be given sufficient
light from above. Aim to Sc
cure bearing branches through
out the main body of the tree
If the tree is shaded by too
much growth at the top, the in
ner and lower twigs will weaker
and die instead of bearing
fruit.
Cut back the strong, upwart
growing central limbs to out
ward growing side branches
This induces the tree to sprea
laterally instead of growing to
high. 1t admits light througI
= the center to fruiting branche
below. If limbs cross eacl
other or crowd badly, thin then
out enough to admit filtere,
sunlight to all parts of the tree
= In pruning cut limbs close, S
as to leave no stub or knot.
= protruding knot will not heal.
= wound cut close will allow tn
growing layer to close over tn
wound.
Paint all wounds over one-hal
inch in diameter with the disir
5 fected paint. Disinfect saw o
] other pruning blades with cal
: bolic acid after pruning cankel
ed or diseased spots.

WE PAY FOR SIZE OF LOAF.
High Cost of Living Could BE
Reduced by Demanding
More Nutritive Flour.

The price we pay for flour is
not determined by its food value
but by it's power to make a nice
appearing, large loaf of bread,
according to Miss Louise STAN
ley of the department of home
economics of the University of
Missouri. The high cost of liv-
ing could be reduced by demand
ing more of the flour with all
of the nutritive value left in.
Under the modern system Of
milling approximately 70 per
cent of the wheat is made into
flour and 20 per cent is sold as
cattle food. Ground as graham
flour, rejecting none of it, 100
pounds of flour would be given
for 100 pounds Of grain. In dis
carding the bran almost one-half
of the natural fat of the grain
and more than three-fourths Of
the mineral matter of the flour
is lost.
Compared on the basis of
pound for pound there is more
energy in the graham than in
the wheat flour. The flour is di-
gested and utilized sufficiently
we'll to give more energy and
food value than a corresponding
amount Of white flour. In its
failure Of complete absorption
lies a large part Of the value of
graham flour. 1t is one of the
best correctives for constipa-
tion. This value of graham
bread was recognized by the an
clients. Hippocrates, the father
of medicine, commended the
flour from unbolted wheat meal
The name Graham was derived
from the advocacy of the use Of
unbolted flour by DR.. Sylvester
Graham in 1889. True Graham
flour is made by grinding the
whole grain without bolting
Much of that on the market is
made by blending -four with
shorts and bran. Properly
ground this flour should give us
a cheaper, better-havored bread
Graham flour is now quoted a
the same price as white foul
but a more steady demand fol
Graham bread would change
this.
If children ate more of this
bread and less of the highly re
fined white bread, they would bt
less likely to have defective
teeth and be under-nourished.

TOLL OF LIVES REDUCED.
The Coal Mining Industry Profits
Through Safety First"

through SaIety FIRST.
Washington, Feb. 18-In the
year 1916, the busiest, most
prosperous year in the history
Of coal mining, with the great
est tonnage ever taken from the
earth, and more men employed
than ever before, an army ex-
ceeding ithree-quarters Of a mil
lion toilers, there were, accord
ing to a report issued by Van
H. Manning, Director of the Bur-
eau Of Mines, today, less men
killed in accidents than in any
one of the previous nine years.
The following facts stood out
prominently in the report:
The number Of men killed was
1925, which is forty-four less
than in 1915, two hundred and
twenty-nine less than in 1914,
and five hundred and sixty less
than in 1918.
There we're 65,OOO,OOO more
tons of coal mined and there
were more men employed than
in 1915.
The death rate for each 1000
men employed, 3.03, is the lowest
in the last eighteen years, at
which time about half as many
men were employed.
There were $4,000 tons of
coal mined for each life lost,
which is the greatest tonnage
per fatality in the history of
the United States. The increase
in tonnage for each life lost is
nearly $4,000 tons over the year
1915.
"The mere reduction of forty
four lives lost for the year 1916
does not disclose by any means
the gratifying results obtained"
, said Mr.. Manning. "If the same
conditions had prevailed in 1916
as in 1915 in regard to the ton
mage for each life lost, there
would have been at least. 275
| more men killed. But back of
= all that, the year 1915 was up to
+. that time the safest year in
/ American coal mining, and 1916
0 outstrips it in a remarkable
4 manner.
