IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official Is Pleased
With Progress-Each County Pre-
pairing to Aid.

That good work is being done in
way through Iowa is the assertion OF
Fl. @. Ostermann, field secretary Of the
Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made a trip of In
spection through the Hawkeye state
and the results were more than salts
factory to him.
On his journey across the state the
Lincoln highway official was accom-,
panied by d. f. Goodell Of Tama, IA.
state consul of the Lincoln Highway
association, and Thomas II. MacDon-
aid, ]. w. Holden and III. c. Beard Of
the Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state;
splendid program of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings.
Covering the most important develop
ments, Mr.. Ostermann states:
Seventeen miles Of the Lincoln
highway in Clinton county have al
ready been graveled with federal aid
funds; applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
and Pottawattamie counties, and sim
liar applications will be filed in the
immediate future by Linn, Tama, Ben.
ton and probably Crawford counties"
A Lincoln highway Seeding mile is
now under way in Linn county, and
existing arrangements call for the
complete crawling of all the rest of
the Lincoln highway in the county.
In similar fashion the plans in Mar.
shall county call for the crawling OF
every foot of the Lincoln highway
from county line to county line. Story,
Boone and Greene counties are prac-
tically all graveled at the present time
nnd an all-weather road is reported.
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money than any other county in the
state in grading the Lincoln highway.
Field Secretary Ostermann and
State Consul Goodell expect that by

FARM
ANIMALS
TYPES AND BREEDS OF HOGS
Two Kinds Are Found to Greater or
Less Extent in Most Parts Of
United States.

prepared bs the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There are two types of swine, name
ly, the fat or lard type, and the bacon
type. Both types are found to a great
err or less extent in most parts of the
country and are the outcome of local
conditions rather than market require
ments. The lard type prevails in Sec
tons where corn is used as the prin-
cipal feed, and the bacon type is gen.
orally found on farms where the hogs
require variety of feeds.
The lard type of hogs is one which
has compact, thick, deep, smooth
body and is capable of fattening rap
idly and maturing early. The hams,
back, and shoulders are the most val
liable parts and should be developed
to the greatest possible extent. The
whole body of the animal should be
covered with a thick layer of flesh rep
resenting the extreme development of
meat production. This type of hog, I'M
der good conditions, should weigh 200
pounds or more when seven to nine
months of age. This is the most pop
ular market weight. Due to the facts
that corn is the most abundant hog
feed and lard hogs mature very early,
this type predomnates.
The most popular breeds of the lard
type are the Berkshire, the Poland
China, the Duroc-Jersey, the Chester
White, and the Hampshire.
The Berkshire had its origin In Eng
land and takes it's name from shire
or county by that name. The color is
black with white markings in the face,
on the feet, and on the tip of the tail.
The face is moderately dish and the
snout is of medium length. The ears
are usually erect, though they may in
cline forward in aged animals.
The PolandChina originated in But
CT and Warren counties, Ohio. The
breed takes it's name from the two
breeds from the crossing of which it
Is supposed to have resulted, namely,
Poland breed and a Chinese breed.
The color is black with white on feet,
face, and tail. The face is nearly
straight and the jowl Is full and heavy.
The Duroc-Jersey had its origin in
the blending of two red breeds, the
Jersey Reds of New Jersey and the
Durocs of New York. The color is
cherry or yellowish red. The face is
slightly dished, the snout is of medium
length, and the ear is dropped.
The original Chester White had it's
origin in Chester county, Pa, hence
the name. There are two other strains
known as the Improved Chester White
or Todds Improved Chester White, and
the Ohio Improved Chester White, COM
monty known as the OIC strain. The
color Is white. The face is straight
the snout is usually longer than that of
the PolandChina. The ear is dropped.
In general conformation the Chester
White and Pola od-China are very much
alike.
The Hampshire breed was formerly
known by the name of Thin Rind. The
breed seems to have had it's origin in
Hampshire, England. The color is
black with a white belt to II inches

PASS SUMMER IN TEMPLES
Picking Custom Of Which the Only
Merit Is Assurance Of Absolute
Peace and Quiet.

Temple parties" constitute a popu-
lar form of diversion for the summer
months in Picking. The hills to the
westward are dotted with so-called
temples-rambling compounds of one
story buildings built centuries ago by
emperOrs in memory of departed an
cestors. The buildings invariably sur
round a paved court or. often a series
of such courts, shaded as a rule by
century-old trees. In the temple proper
Is still to be found gigantic "Buddha"
or idol before whom joss-sticks are
lighted at intervals by priests and
acOlytes, of whom there are generally
a half dozen all told, occupying por-
ton of the compound.
1t is quite easy and inexpensive to
secure the use of one of these temples
one or more Of the unoccupied SUBJ
sidiary buildings-for q weekend, a
week or the whole summer. They are
entirely without furniture except inso-
far as raised platform whereon the
Chinese used to sleep might be called
furniture. Once installed the occupant
enjoys absolute peace and quiet by day.
AS rule he sleeps in the company Of
one Of the lesser "Buddhas,' who Is
hidden behind a curtain. The only
intrusion upon his privacy occurs when
the priest or acolyte brings food and
places 1t before the idol and returns
later to remove what the rats have
left Of 1t.
A number of the oldtimers in Picking
have their temple leased year after
year and pass the summer there. For
the novice, owing to the general lack
of everything that makes for comfort,
once is enough. 1t is thing, however.
that everybody must do once.

REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and DesirabiIity Of EIiminat.
ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out.

In order that the roads may not be
entirely destroyed or put into condi.

the government ought to impress upon
states, counties, cities, villages and
townships the necessity and desirable
ity of eliminating every mudhole. every
Oppression, by filling in; it should ask
that culverts and bridges be kept in q
reasonable state Of repair and it should
command that every highway should
regularly and Systematically be
dragged after every rain, that high

filled and the roads made as smooth
and safe as possible with this tenn
porary scheme to aid, as far as pos

DAIRY
FACTS
WATCH THE MILK SEPARATOR
Expert Of Missouri College Offers Sug-
gestions on Proper Operation
of Machine.

Is the separator running all right?
Ii not 1T should be looked after at
once. L. w. Morley of the University
of Missouri College Of Agriculture Of
fers the following suggestions on OPP
Grating the separator: Be sure that
the machine is level and securely
fastened to a, firm foundation. Re
member that the speed of the separa-
tor is an important factor In it's eff
ficiency. If the crank is turned too
slowly an excessive amount of fat will
be left in the skim milk. The milk
should not be allowed to enter the ma
chine until full speed is attained.
A temperature of 80 degrees Fahren-
heit is best for separation. If milk is
cold when separated there is too much
loss of fat. If the milk becomes cold
it may be warmed by placing the can
of milk In hot water. 1t is preferable,
however, to separate the milk soon
after it is drawn and before it becomes
cold.
The separator should be kept clean
if the highest efficiency Of the ma
chine and the best product Is to be
obtained. At the end of each separa-
ton flush out the bowl by pouring into
the supply can about two quarts of
luke-warm water. The parts may then
be washed with warm water and then
rinsed in scalding water, after which
they should be allowed to Try.

CRITICISM MUST BE KINDLY

almost every church, club. lodge or

is ever With us. And, candidly, we
need him. We cannot do our best
work without him. He is like the
brake In the mechanism of a motor
car. He holds us back when we
would go too fast. II at times he
delays our progress, he is necessary
to our safety. His conservatism
counteracts the possible evils Of rad
icalism. Much might be said for the
economy Of criticism.
But the method Of criticism Is also
important. The brake should work
smoothly. The critic need not de-
stroy the organism he proposes to
reform. Often the effect of his criti-
cism Is wholly destructive. Sometimes
his methods remind us Of the man who
set fire to barn to rid 1t of rats. A

attack a field of corn before it is ripe
the entire crop may be lost unless a

No feed crops can be so successfully
harvested under widely varying condi-

Only in case of drought or frost is it
necessary to rush the filling of the
