Them's Our Sentiments.

An editor in Tennessee is reported
to have published 1.-THE following re-
garding our next president: Some
of us have about come to the place
where we don't care n rap whether
the man is n Democrat. Republican.
or on the fence. But there are other
things he must be. We would like n
man who can devote little attention
to the affairs Of Uncle Sam and less
to Corsica and the Isle OF Man. We
want plain, oh-fashioned American;
not a dreamer. or n theorist. or an
international star gaxer. Harding
and Coolidge seem endowed with the
qualifications. II we can't have
Harding. give us a Democrat Just as
good, because this is an election to
choose q president OF the United

THE FARMS AND THE RANGES

are too uncertain to give reliable ed thus far do not warrant general practice. Good leather can be made profits.
 The work was taken up by the de partment when it became evident that the farmers were feeling the Injustice of transaction wherein they sold a whole cowhide for less than they paid out for a pair of work shoes--an ac- currence not at all unusual. Inves- tigation shows that the leather deal- CT is not entirely to blame for the low prices that the farmer receives for his hides. Too often the hide from the farm COW is taken off in a careless manner that leaves the skin full of cuts and holes--farm hides are never as uniform as those bought from the packing houses, where the animals are carefully graded and the skins remov- ed by expert skinners. For that req son the hide buyer is always willing to pay more for the packers product than he can offer the farmer.
 Then, too, the farmer sells his cow hide to the junk dealer, who deducts his profit from the price he pays. Whenever it is possible to collect a number of hides and skins it will pay the owner to deal directly with large dealer, the specialists say.

GET MORE BUTTER

Mrs. Hattie Meece, of Glenn, Mis- souri, says: 'I was not making enough butter from my cows milk production for a family of two. After using Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders a short time, she gave a half gallon more milk a day, and a pound of butter day"
 Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders give to milk cows just what is needed to keep the digestive organs in proper condition, so that they get the most possible good from their feed. Give equally wonderful re- suits when used for horses, hogs, and sheep, because they are a tonic, appetizer and worm expeller.
 It matters not what ailments you may have among your stock or poultry, it will pay you to get the proper Dr. LeGear Remedy from your dealer. They are the Doctors personal prescriptions, compounded during his 2S years of Veterinary practice and expert poultry breeding. They must satisfy you, or your dealer will refund your money.-Adv.

BETTER BUILD UP CHEAP ROADS BY CONSTANT CARE

It is better to build a cheap road and keep. it in good condition by ade- quate maintenance than to build the most expensive highway and permit it to deteriorate for want of care, say officials of the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agroculture.
 Maryland, which has one of the fin est systems of improved highways in the United States, if not the best, has consistently followed this practice. The originally improved roads in Maryland were comparatively inex- pensive, costing only what the tax payers were willing to pay for. The first few years the average cost was less than $10,000 mile. In some cases the work entailed considerable grading and drainage, but in others it amounted simply to resurfacing the old turnpikes,. which had already been graded and drained.
 Generally the roads built at that time were macadam, 12 feet wide and 8 inches thick. Soon the width was increased to IA feet. Later many were widened still farther, some very successfully,by adding concrete shoul- ders on each side of the existing ma cadam. This method /of improving roads makes it possible for traffic to continue unimpeded on the road while the work is going on.
 The macadam roads in Maryland have given very good satisfaction, but continuous care has been largely re- sponsible for their success. The roads are constantly patrolled and no hole of any size is allowedsto go unrepair- ed. Material for patching is kept at convenient points along the road for the use el the patrolman. From a relatively Small investment in admit tedly low-type road it builds up bet ter one from year to year, always con serving the bulk of the previous in- vestment

 CROP RECORD BOOK

Catch<as-catch-can methods of con- ducting the farming business are be- ing discouraged through the efforts of the county agent in Madison County, Ala. Farmers were first encouraged to keep expense on labor accounts on the growing of a single crop. Stand ard record books were furnished. for this purpose. The practice has been great assistance in the planning of a subsequent years work and has re- suited in the saving of expenses, the seriousness of which had not been re- alized when no accounts were kept: A number of farmers who started keeping accounts have learned the ad- vantage of having a deposit at the bank and have acquired habits of thrift.

KINCMAN CATTLE CROW-
 FRS MAKE SHIPMENTS

Many of the various cattle growers of the county are in town for the pur- pose of loading out large shipment of cattle, at the stock yards in the east end of town.
 Due to the unsettled conditions over the country, the demand for beef cat tie this fall has been very low, but indications are that the markets are again getting active as some buyers are now visiting this section.
 About 1000 head will be shipped al- together. The shippers are Walla- pal Cattle company, O. D. M. Gaddis, A. B. Faneher, George Fancher and w. E. Frost. The shipment will go to California markets.
 Sunday George Miller shipped 300 head of cattle to San Jacinto, Cali fornia. The shipment was made up of one, two and three year old stock, all in good condition. Pico Brothers, who have a large ranch in the San Jacinto country, were the buyers Kingman Miner.
