Many of the feeders that grow lamb and mutton produced in America feed some form of silage and the proprietor of the best known English" mutton chop house in America says that it is just as important that the sheep have grain, if the meat is to be highly fla vored, as it, is for them to have water.

DOUBLED LIFE OF HIGHWAYS
French Engineers Find That Simple,
Surface Coatings Of Tar Were OF
Much Benefit.

It has been the experience Of the
French engineers in building roads dur
ing war times that simple, surface
coatings of a tar preparation more
than doubled the life of the road. This
being true, it would seem advisable in
the construction of all country roads,
to cover the surface with some crushed
rock or gravel, and then use the heavy
tar preparation, because the binding
effect prevents the material from slip
ping to one side; it holds the material
intact and gives the yoad a hard-srr-
faced covering that il not only lasting,
but adds to the efficiency of the road.

man Merchant.

1t is known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws, and even his patriotism, if they
interfere with his chances to drive
home good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth Of July in the
Enlisted Mems club at Andernach. AS
no Fourth Of July ball would be COM
plete without "Uncle Sam" several
"" girls set out to prepare cos
tune for the revered character. When
it came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes in the trousers, how
ever, 1t seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere in Andernach
could sufficient quantity of the right
colored material be purchased. Final
ly one German merchant announced
that he had just what they wanted.
Out Of a closet at the rear Of his shop
he dug large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from it, and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
noble deed.-From the Watch on the

prepared by the United States Depart

Grass is not desirable material
to serve as the basis of the work
horse ration. The practice of turn
ing work animals out on Sundays to
eat grass, to which they are unaccus-
toned, is a prolific source of collie
and other digestive disorders. Cen
orally the animals would be better off
in a cool, darkened stable, where they
could be carried on half rations Of
grain during idleness.
Where work horses which are fed a
full allowance of grain are turned out
to Craze each night they usually are
in poor condition for work next day,
as the extra feed they have consumed
merely tends to increase the tax on
their digestive capacity. However.

INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Autos and Motor Trucks Do More
Harm Than Steel-Tired Vehicles
on Account Of Speed.

There is more damage done to the
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason of greater speed Of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had. Driving in the
same tracks never damaged steel tires,
but it is the destruction of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
is worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account Of greater speed. The rea-
son running in track is damaging to
rubber tires, is sharp rock will be
set in the side of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip a piece out
of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot
dodge or bounce out Of the bottom Of
the track, but cut holes i'll the tires and
break the fabric, causing the so-called
stone bruises and ri.1 cuts, even on
properly inflated tires.

GOOD COVERING FOR SlLAGE
Run in Cornstaiks From Which Ears
Have Been Removed-Top Is
Thoroughly Tramped Down.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Several years ago it was a common
practice to cover the silage with some
material, such as dirt or cut straw, in
order to prevent the top layer from
spelling. At present when any provi-
sion at all is made for this purpose it
consists usually in merely running in
on top cOrnstalks from which the ears
have been removed. BY this method
some Of the corn grain is saved. The
heavy green cornstalks pack much bet
ter than straw does and so exclude the
air more effectually. The top is thor
oughly tramped and then wet down.
Sometimes oats are sown on the top be-
fore wetting. The heat generated by
the fermenting mass will cause the oats
to sprout quickly and form a dense
sod, which serves to shut off the air
from the silage beneath, and in con-
sequence only very shallow layer
spoils. Whenever possible, it is better
to begin feeding from the silo as soon
as 1t is filled; by doing this no cover
ing is necessary and there should be no
loss on account of spelling.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
The public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject. made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

sample bottle. When writing be sure and

tilated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
The feet of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula-
tions Of dirt may be removed. A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening will
add to the comfort of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole Of
the foot or are collected in the clefts
Of the frog or between. the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
It is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat Of winter hair with perspiration.
Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be
blanketed at night.
