eases have their origin in the soil or
in unclean bins. 1t is important.
therefore, that great care be taken
while digging and also while handling
the potatoes after placing them in
storage
Potatoes badly bruised when dug
should not be placed in storage with
sound potatoes, since they are certain
to rot and spread infection throughout
the bins. A field that has contained
blackleg, and which has not been
rogued, is very likely to yield con-
siderable number of potatoes slightly
infested, at least, with blackleg rot. If
these are placed in storage with sound
tubers they may be responsible for
large amounts of storage rot, especial
ly if the potatoes are damaged when
being dug or after being placed in
storage.
Mr.. Tolaas finds that large amount
of storage rots can be prevented by
placing the potatoes as soon as dug
in crates, which, when filled, can be
hauled to the storage cellar and care
fully dumped wherever wanted. If
it is necessary to drop the potatoes
several feet much damage can be
avoided by providing a chute for low
ering them into the cellar.
Storage cellars, especially those
which contained a lot Of rOtted pota-
toes the previous year, should be thor
oughly disinfected with a strong solu-
tion of bluestone-one pound being
dissolved in ten gallons of water; or
one pint in ten gallons
of water, before the potatoes are put
away. Good ventilation with tempera-
ture of from 80 to 40 degrees Fahren- 1
heit will aid materially in keeping
down the loss from storage rots.

ROMANS AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Roads Built Two Thousand Years Ago
Are Still in Active Service
How Constructed.

Two thousand years ago the Romans
built roads. some OF which are still
i'm active service. These roads have
lasted through the centuries simply
because of their massive construction.
The Romans built four successive
courses or layers on the earth sub
grade. carefully prepared and drained
First came the statumen or founda-
ton. then the rodus, next the nucleus.
and finally the pavimentum or wearing
surface, says a writer The statumen
consisted of large fiat stones, while the
two intervening courses were built of
smaller stones laid in lime mortar.
To carry the chariot and packhorse
traffic of Roman times, these roads
were seemingly ridiculOusly heavy, yet
the wisdom Of the builders was amply
demonstrated by the 500 years dur
ing which the Roman road system
formed the backbone of the transpOrta-
ton system of what was the greatest
empire of all time.
We can learn a mighty profitable
lesson from the Romans, and if we
take the lesson TO heart now, standing
as we do on the threshold of a new
highway era. we shall save ourselves
much pecuniary sorrow.

Improved Road in Indiana.

state for all roads for which govern
ment aid is expected. The action of
the commission extends the use of the
approved standards to the roads which
will be built in Indiana under the pro-
visions of the county unit road law,
by which the state shares the cost.
Officials of the commission have
compiled the standards for the Indiana
roads. which are identical with the
requirements made of the state BY the
federal government. The standards
will apply to all county-aid projects
proposed under the state highway law,
the county unit road law. and the free
gravel road law.
Many counties of the state already
have adopted the commission stand
ards voluntarily to keep their road
construction up to the specifications
prescribed by the federal and state en-
gfneers.
Members of the commission. in dis
cussing the regulation. declared that
it will have the effect of standardiz-
ing road construction throughout Indi-
ana.

GIVE PRODUCE BETTER CARE
Quality and Methods of Packing
and Shipping.

With the present condition of heavy
production of almost every farm COM
modify and high freight rates. the bu-
reau of markets of the United States
Department of Agriculture advises
that greater care than ever should be
exercised as to the quality of produce
shipped by rail to markets and the
method of packing and loading. Where
fruit or vegetables are of inferior
grade or quality in any respect, the
farmer Will do well to market near
by. within the truck radius, or store
for home consumption.
After the stock gets to a distant
market the shipper is given protection
by the inspection service furnished by
the department at about $50 principal
receiving points of the United States.
This service costs $3.50 for a half
carload or less and 81 for a full car
load. 1t enables the shipper to learn
the exact condition in which his pro-
duce reached the consignee by giving
the exact nature of the decay or 9th
er defects, and gives him information
in regard to the best method of mar
keting each particular lot of produce.

To meet the situation the manufac-
turers are building many sizes of
trucks. from a half-ton to ten-ton ca

One of the units now in great de-
mand is the four-ton truck, which Is

The four-ton truck is especially
adapted to stake body work; that is.
the carrying of boxed. Grated or barrel
goods. Not only is 1T a prompt and
reliable carrier for this class OF
freight, but it also is economical.
Compared with horses, it is far su-
peri0r in every way, both as TO mile

In times such as these the truck
purchaser should study his situation
most carefully and employ expert adj
vice whenever possible. Many a man
who buys a five-ton truck should real

close study of delivery problems will

ferent size than that which he is

COMMON SALT is DANGEROUS
Hogs and Chickens Are Very Suscepti-
BILE to Poisoning by Mineral
Instances Cited.

1t should be borne in mind that
hogs and chickens are very SUSCEPTIBLE
to poisoning by common salt.
A lady emptied ice containing salt
from the ice cream refrigerator in
the backyard The chickens picked
up salt enough to kill them.
A newly-wed made cake of salt,
presuming it to be sugar. 1t was
thrown to the chickens and killed all
of them.
Pigs were allowed to Craze in a pas
ture with cattle where they had access
to salt lick; they licked the salt
ravenously and all but three of the
herd died.
Another case is reported where salt
brine was mistaken for sugarwater
and fed to hogs with garbage; the pigs
were poisoned and died the following
day.
Salt poisoned hogs show no symp-
toms for several hours. when they are
taken with dizziness, increased thirst
frothing at the mouth. diarrhea, ard
vomiting. Keep salt away from hogs
and chickens.-Geo. III. Glover. Colo

INFLUENCE OF LOAD ON PULL
Harder to Haul Wagon When Bulk Of
Load Is Placed Near Front,
Says Iowa College.

Tests recently conducted at Iowa
State college show that wagon pulls
harder when the bulk of the load is
placed over the front wheels than
when it is loaded over the rear ones.
The actual difference in pounds of
pull amounts to nearly a hundred
pounds. so that the man who carried
the load from the rear of wagon TO
the front not only works harder him
self but he causes more work to be
done by the team as well.
One of the reasons for this. say the
testers. is that the front. wheels are
smaller and that they open up tracks
for the rear ones.
Where trucks are used 1t Is OF an
advantage to load on the rear since it
aids in the traction and keeps the
wheels on the ground.
