IMMENSE COST OF BAD ROADS
Farmers Allow $500, 100000 to Escape
Each Year Because OF Poor and
Unlmproved Highways.

The farmers Of the United States
have been allowed S300,000,000 In real
money to escape from their pockets
each year because Of poor roads,, ac-
cording to the testimony Of experts
who made survey Of the effect OF
bad roads upon markets for. the de-
partment Of agriculture. Just when
the farmer has the opportunity to mar
ket his crops at top prices, bad wealth
er closes the roads to heavy hauling
and he must walt until another season.
To the loss of the farmers must be
added an economic loss equally large
suffered by the nation. If the rural
roads could be used for traffic the year
round, Uncle Sam would save more
than half a billion dollars. This Is a
typical bad-road blockade which exists
for weeks and often months In rural
district.-Scientiflc American.

MATERIAL FOR WEAVING PIGS
Concentrates That Are Rich in Muscle
and Rone-Making Essentials
Are Necessary.
tClemson College Bulletin.)

fClemson College Bulletin.)
Weaned pigs need good concentrates
that are rich In muscle and bone
making material to insure thrifty de-
velopment. Accustom them to their
feed gradually, as overfeedlng will
readily produce securing. From ten
to twelve days are essential in getting
young pigs adjusted to the change.
However, they should be fed lightly
at least three times daily during this
time.
The following rations are good for
young pigs: CD Skim milk and wheat
middlings. (2) One part ground
grain of some kind to two parts wheat
mlddlings or rice meal. Ground oats
and rice meal make splendid mix
ture. Feed as indicated above with
skim milk.

ANIMALS LIKE THESE ARE ALWAYS IN DEMAND.

furious &c the plants and are not sufti.
ciently attractive to pay for the cost
of operation. Mechanical ingenuity is
needed, however, the specialists point
out, especially in developing effective
machinery for aiding in the destruction
Of weevils in the fall and also for a
better cultivation of the crop.
1t is estimated that boil weevils now
cause to the cotton industry loss OF
100000 bales OF cotton annually. AL
though farmers in older regions, in
many cases, are increasing their pro-
ducti0n, there is loss in the newly in
tested regions which offsets that gain.
a conservative estimate shows that
since the weevil has invaded this coun-
try it has caused loss Of 4,55O,Oo0
bales of cotton, with value Of about
S25O06O.OO0.
The figures which have been cited
show clearly the enormous reduction
in cotton production which the boil
weevil causes.
In order to make the picture COM
plete, however. 1t Is necessary TO COLL
attention to the effect the WceTil has
on the production of crops other than
cotton. Wherever the insect inrades
u region, diversifcation Of crops and
animal husbandry receive powerful
impetus. This is shown, for instance,
In the state of Mississippi. For many
years preceding the advent of the boil
weevil, namely 1904-190S. the average
value Of all crops was S11G,7S3, 104.
For the boil weeviI years, 1909-19f3,
the average was $13209I, 500. The

CONVENIENT PLACE FOR SILO

Than inside Of Barn-AlloW

In general the sllo should be located
outside rather than inside the barn.
Place 1t few feet away from the
barn so that a small feed room may
be built between. This arrangement
not only provides a convenient place
for the silage cart but also means
of separating the silo from the milk

Duty OF Every Farmer.

Every farmer should feel his depend
ence upon good roads. Whether or
not one lives on public highway he
should take an interest In the nearest
one to his farm or the road he must
use to market his farm, orchard and
garden products.

Some of the measures are not new
in principle. They are old methods
which, modified and improved, have
plain and practical farming methods.
and, although they may appear less at
tractive than many Of the fantastical
panaceas which spring up from time
TO time in cotton growing sections,
they are sound and reliable. In1ividu-
ally, they are effective in checking the
ravages of the weevils and collective
ly they offer practical system which,
if followed carefully, will insure
crop in spite of this pest. The system
may have to undergo slight modifica-
tions to meet local conditions. For
example, in some localities hand pick
ing of weevils and infested squares
at times may prove profitable meas
ure.
Problem of Control.
The case cannot be rested, however,
with the announcement OF this anti
boil weevll system. The problem of
boil weevil control becomes more seri-
Gus as the pest continues its invasion
of the cotton belt. Eastern planters
must expect q more serious problem
than that which confronted the farm
ers of Texas, because the humid con-
ditions In the East are more favorable
to the life Of the weevils. Better
means of control must be devised for
the region that Is becoming invaded,
and, if possible, other means must be
developed to reduce the enormous loss
that is suffered, especially during un-
favorable seasons In Texas. The princi-
pal work Of the bureau of entomology
at this time is In attempting to devise
means'for this requisite additional con-
troll.
Much has been learned about the
habits of the boil weevil. Many SEEM
ingly excellent theories Of control have
fallen before this newly discovered In
formation. A few may be mentioned:
Repellants do not repel the boil wee
vii. Sprays innumerable have been
tried unsuccessfully. Nor are the
weevils attracted to light. Lantern
traps have been hung in cotton fields by
many farmers, but only occasional
stragglers are caught in this way, the
specialists learn.
Machines Are Injurious.
Machines employing suction and jar
Iring devices, designed to pick weevils
and infested squares or to shake the
weevils to the ground, have proved In

Sailor Now German Prisoner.

Men serving on the destroyer Jacob
Jones of the American fleet IN foreign
waters had terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by a
German submarine The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon. AL
though every effort was made to re-
turn The fight and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
of the men got into the boats and on
the RATS and n great number were
seen swimming in the sea. Two Of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal of being torpedoed Murphy
made n heroic struggle to save men,
bers of the ships crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he Is held prisoner in
Germany. Murphy was a ships cook,

GOT HIM STARTED
Wife's Conversation May Have
Been for Effect.
While She DcpIored the Average Mans
Lack of knowledge of Tools He
Evidently Had Been Doing
Some Thinking.

The woman put down the magazine
she had been reading and addressed
herself to the family in general.
There" she cried. at says exactly
what 1 have been thinking for ages
and ages and never had sufficient sense
to write about"
"What Is that?" inquired her hus-
band sleepily.
1T says that boys should be pre-
pared for matrimony exactly as girls
should" replied the woman. ut says
that they should have a course of
training in putting up pictures, in do
Ing simple repairs to the plumbing. in
taking care of the furnace, in hang
ing curtains. making shelves and do
ing other carpentering work, just as
girls should be taught how to cook
and keep house."
At this her husband looked self-con-
scious and he resumed his reading with
an Ostentatious air of absorption, so
that his better half was fain TO con-
tinue her remarks to the more recep-
tive sister who sat by.
Especially when one lives in the
country should husband have had
some manual training" she went on.
For instance, last week we found ii
impossible to turn off one of the spig-
OTIS that fills the bathtub. A full
stream of water ran from it all day.
| telephoned Walter Of the tragedy,
and he replied that was not to bother,
for he would fix 1t as soon as he came
home
when he reached home that even
ing he found that he could not do any
more to check the water than | had
done, and so he sent a plumber out
from town the next morning.
The plumber examined the leak, said
that the washer on the spigot had
worn out. and that If I would give him
washer he would repair it at once.
But l had no washer = what Is a
washer. anyway? And so he had to
go back into town to get one. He
returned two hours later. put on the
washer. stopped the leak and sent us
a bill for ST.
"But 1t was q peculiar sort of
washer" interrupted her husband
apologetically "If it had been just a
plain washer 1 could have done It,"
His wife disregarded this explana-
ton. Then the laundry tubs became
stopped up" she went on, land though
/ worked at them with a hatpin and
the poker. 1 could not open them. The
plumber had to come out from town
again. He brought with him a long
stick with a rubber cup on the end of
1t, placed this cup over the vent in the
tub pressed. and 10 all was well. The
bill for this piece of work was $3.50.
ii wanted a simple shelf put up in
the bathroom and the carpenter who
put 1t up charged $3.50 for that job.
The door leading to our side porch
had not been locked for a year because
no one in this family can move a lock.
Sometimes l wish that had married
a carpenter or q plumber. 1t must be
lovely to have a man who can use
tools constantly in the house"
And as for the woman's husband he
put aside his book impatiently and
arose. 'Well. get me the nails and
the boards and a hammer and I'll make
that window box for you that you've
been pining for" he said. 'T'll show
you that l am as good as n carpenter
any day in the week."-PrOvidenc
