Speed Regulations.

In the case of rubber-tired vehi-
cles, speed is an important factor.
1t is the general experience that
light motor vehicles travelling at
speed of Is to 20 miles an hour are
not difficult to cope with. That
much injury to macadam road sur
faces results from heavy touring
cars travelling at speeds of 40 and
so miles an hour is common know
ledge to the highway engineer;
where it exists to any great extent,
demanding the proportionate cost of
bituminous treatment, Oh the selec-
ton OF strongly resistent paving
material
Speed is therefore destructive to
ordinary highways.
The propelling power of a
horse-drawn vehicle is communi-
Gated to the road through the feet
of the horses Speed is limited and
makes little difference. The abrad
ing effect of the steel tires comes
solely from a downward pressure
varying with the weight of load,
diameter and width of tire. Self
propelled vehicles, on the other
hand, communicate their driving
force to the road at the rim of the
wheel While the downward pres
sure due to weight of load does lit
tie injury. the driving force is very
great. 1t is nearly horizontal, tend
ing to tear away the surface of the
road, throwing out the binding ma
terial and loosening stones. This
shearing force increases with the
speed. not in direct proportion, but
probably in proportion to the square
of the speed. Thus, taking ten
miles as unit of speed and COM
pairing with speeds of twenty, thirty
and forty miles, the shearing force
is not merely twice as great at 20,
three times at thirty and four times
at forty, but instead is four times
as great at thirty and sixteen times
as great at forty miles. At fifty
miles an hour. the shearing force on
this basis would be twenty-five
times as great as at ten miles.
Speed is destructive.

Kill Small Range Horses

To slaughter the small range horr
ses of Montana and other western
states and ship the meat to the
starving people of Europe is the
suggestion made by Ralph Ingersoll.
vice president of the Commercial
State Bank of Miles City and vet
eran stockman of Montana. In this
manner needed range for cattle will
be available and profitable DISPOSE
ton made OF animals too small for
ranch work.
Before the war" said Mr.. Inger-
soil, lit is shown by records that
Berlin alone slaughtered 100000
horses annually for food. We have
thousands of horses on our ranges
weighing from 500 to 900 pounds
that could be used in this manner.
1t would free the ranges for needed
cattle pasture and be great source
of profit. The meat could either be
shipped to Europe on the hoof or
canned here"

Woodrow Wilson said the election
OF republican congress would be
taken by Germany as an indication
that the United States was not back
of the administration. And the peo-
pie elected republican congress on
November and the Huns threw
up the sponge just Ave days later.
They knew that no republican con-
gress would waste time writing the
bloody Huns nice notes and monkey
one second about a peace by COM
promise. Had Roosevelt, instead of
Wilson, been president, and had we
been prepared as Roosevelt wanted,
the chances are that we would not
have gone to war. Germany banked
on our unpreparedness, and just so
far as Wilson delayed preparedness,
apd permitted the Huns to impose
on us. just to that extent did Mr..
Wilson invite war, and is RESPONSE
BILE for our entry. HE kept us
out of war" like a blind pig going
to Halifax.

The employment Of Farm Agent
is the one best thing the county
board can do for the farmers of our
county. Agriculture is now a scien-
tific matter. 1t Is not the work Of
chance. There is reason why the
farmers of certain neighborhood
should grow a certain crop or con-
fine their efforts to certain breeds
of sheep or cattle or horses. There
is a reason, and 1t is the business Of
the Farm Agent to cooperate with
the farmers to the end that they
may make good. In thousand
ways the Farm Agent helps the
farmers, and is worth to the county
many times the salary paid.

NURSES PRETTY
Red Cross Hospital Uniform
Most Becoming in His
tory Of World.

In d recent news letter from the
front the war correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American helps to
explain the song, I'm In Love With a
Beautiful Nurse"
There are 81 Red Cross nurses at
this place." says the dispatch. "They
are cheerful, obedient, brave and COM
petent And those who weren't pretty
to begin with became so the moment
they donned the uniform that is the
most becoming In all the long history
of costumes devised for the mystical
ton and beguiling of men.
"In the officers ward was a colonel
with bronchitis. I've seen them In the
Philippines, and I've seen them In Chi
na,' he told me. i suppose I've seen
about all the existing types, but new
er yet saw one that wasn't pretty in
side of "a hours
"He reminded me of an Irish Tom
my, who, so his major told me, woke
up in hospital in 1915 and, seeing the
nurses in the ward, exclaimed, May
the howly Virgin bless US, but the an
gels have come down to the Somme + 7"
Hundreds Of Red Cross nurses, how
ever, are doing work abroad In which
their looks are less eagerly considered.
Finding and caring for war orphaned
babies fighting tuberculosis, re-estab-
fishing homes in shell wrecked villages
these are some Of the big tasks Of
mercy which, thanks to American con-
tributions, the Red Cross sets for its
nurses.

bIackIeg is caused by sman germ,
an organism about one three-thou-
sandth of an inch long. This organism
multlplies very rapidly by one organ
ism dividing into two individuals and
these again dividing in the same way.
Also by producing very much smaller
spores or seeds. These spores are very
hardy and resist extreme heat and
cold, remaining alive sometimes for
many years. AS a consequence when
a pasture, corral or feedlot is once
contaminated with the organism there
is no telling how long 1t will harbor
the infection. Disinfecting such prem
ises is impractical. Safety lies in vac
cination. In all contagious or germ
diseases the animals most likely to get
sick are those whose constitution is
more or less weakened from any cause
at weaving time, after changing from
poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice
versa. Immunlzing beforehand insures
safety. Highly bred calves are also
more susceptible than scrubs. Many
operators report perfect results when
they yaccinate at the same time they
brand. dehorn, or castrate Vaceinate
any time for hlapkleg.
When calf is turned upon infected
ground it picks up some of the spores
which gain entrance 10 the body in
various ways - through the bruised
skin, through the mouth either with
animal licking itself. These spores
Immediately come into active life,
begin to grow and multiply. and if the
the food and water or merely by the
animal is susceptible one 1t CON
tracts the disease. If 1t is Immune
the germ will have no effect whatever
upon It. Therefore, immunize the calf
with reliable vaccine before 1t picks
nm these organisms.

German biologists In tho War.

In his residential address to the
vesey club, DIR. A Strahan. F. R. S.,
stated that the Germans began three
years ago to make biologists part of
their army organization, says the Sci
entiflc American. A geological staff
was created under the direction of a
professor of the University of Griefs-
valid, and put to work on the western
front. where Its advice was utilized In
connection with the laying of field rail-
ways, the water supply Of the army,
the examination of marsh lands, the
finding of road metal, and protection
against landslides due to gunfire 1t
is said that much more extensive use
was made Of geological maps than has
thus far been disclosed, and that the
Germans, with an. eye to possible fu-
ture wars have been making very
thorough geological study of the occu-
pied territory in neighborlng countries

LIMESTONE FOR SOUR SOILS
Farmers Have Been Too Slow In APP
preciatIng Its VaIue-Aids Manure
and Fertilizer.

Ground limestone is the greatest
known aid to bigger, better crops.
Farmers have been far too slow IN
approaching its value Only ten years
ago. not more than few hundred
tons of lime were used in this country
annually At the present time the
yearly tonnage has mounted up to the
million mark, but even this is too lit
tie, by far.
1t has been said that one acre In
every three of arabic land in this coun-
try is sour. Authorities claim that
lime is badly needed all over eastern
Ohio. Nearly every acre of land in
New England is in need of lining.
Also the land of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast plains. In Wisconsin, four-fifths
of the land in the state needs 1t badly.
Even in the heart of the corn belt, the
richest land in the world, farmers are
turning to the use of lime to grow big
crops of corn and wheat. Every acre
of sour land in the country badly needs
and should have two to four tons Of
ground limestone applied.
Surely If every farm in the garden
spot of America (the corn belt) finds
it profitable to use lime, 1t will pay
men in less favored sections of the
country.
Not only is lime good in itself to
sweeten sour farms, but 1t helps ma
nure and fertilizer make good crops
by liberating other vital plans foods.
