IMPROVING KING ROAD DRAG
syIVania and Strengthened by
Wrought Iron Strips.

The old form Of King road drag was
merely two sides of a split log, fast
ened so that the sharp sides Of the
split surface faced forward, the
straight surface extending vertically
the two parts were spaced about two
feet apart and connected by struts to
hold them parallel; the outfit was
dragged by a chain, fastened to the
front half-log, and the angle at which
the continuance was dragged over the
surface was controlled by the manner
In which the team was hitched to the
chain, the chain itself being fastened
permanently at both ends to two sta
pies in the front log, which altered the
angle at which the team was hitched,
writes L. Ruppin Of Pennsylvania In
Rural New Yorker.
"We found the original form too
weak for our road work here, so we de-
vised certain improvements, which are

THROUGH MAIN ROADS
MotortrueE<s Expected to Play PromI.
nent Part in Transportation
Facilities.

England Is now debating roads for
motor transportation, for, although
she Is amply equipped with railroads,
1t IS believed that hereafter motor
trucks will play a prominent part in
the business of the country. Systems
OF special highways are being mapped
out, and the plans proposed include
an apparently excellent feature. To
avoid the delays and congestion Incl
dent on traversing towns, It is sug-
gested that the main road be located
beyond the borders of the town, and
this would certainly expedite traffic.
as IT would not be necessary for every
vehicle using the route to painfully
thread It's way through every village
on the way. OF course this would not
appeal to the local tradesman who
hopes TO catch an occasional penny
from the passing cars, nor to the local
magistrate who initiates his own in
come. and the funds OF his town, by
his Interpretation Of the law; but this
Is a matter Of national interest and

KEEPING CATTLE AND SWINE
1t Remains to BE Determined What
Are Most Common and Best
Paying Propositions.

The keeping of cattle and OF swine
appear to be almost inseparable opera
lions. This fact is being brought out
in the returns OF the Better SireS-
Better Stock" crusade of the agricul-
turaI colleges, the United States de-
partment Of agriculture and co-operat-
ing agencies This general practice
has long been known, but much more
definite information is being gathered,
and the purpose is TO extend it to such
an extent as to determine the relation
ships among all meat animals.
IF nearly every man who keeps cat
tie also keeps hogs, and if nearly every
man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle,
the inevitable conclusion is that the
combination pays, especially when
purebred sires are used. But it re-
mains to be determined what are the
most common and the best-paying pro-
portions. The same thing applies also
TO combinations of cattle and sheep, or
swine and sheep, or cattle and sheep
and swine. One benefit Of the work
will be that it viii enable the man of
small personal experience to avail
himself OF the wide experience of a
great number of men in working out
the combinations Of meat animals that
he will carry on his farm.

Penguin Cult in Paris.

The cult of the penguin has come to

Father penguin in delicate, deity

less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the thick rounded kernels
from the butts are just as productive
as any of the rest, but because OF
their shape and size they do not plant
uniformly when used In a corn plant
er with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanicaI corn shelter Will injure some
of the kernels, and thus destroy or
reduce their power to grow and yield.
No matter how large the required sup
ply, says the department, it Will still
pay to shell it painstakingly by hand,
because the greater the acreage to
be planted the greater the ultimate
profit.
Each ear should be shelled sepa-
rately into a shallow pan or box, and
any blemished, poorly developed, moldy
or worm-eaten kernel should be re-
jected.
AS the seed from each ear is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels, it Is poured into the gen.
eraI supply and another ear is shelled
In the same way. It is much easier
to pick out defective kernels from a
thin layer in a small sieve than from
a large, mingled quantity in a bushel
measure or a bag.

When your kidneys hurt and youf

and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the bOdy's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
fly. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and

the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-yOu can't drink
too much: also get from any pharma-

water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid OF grapes and lemon

SOME FARMERS GRIND
OWN FLOUR AND MEAL
General Practice of Farmers Is
to Buy BreadstuffS.
Occasionally Man Is Found Who Has
His Own Little Mill and Does His
Own Grinding-Bakers Are
Patronized in Some Gases.

Cereals, such as corn, wheat and
buckwheat, are raised nearly every
where throughout the United States.
These grains are staple breadstuffs,
but the general practice of farmers is
TO buy -four and meal rather than
grind or have their own grain ground
for home use, says the United States
department Of agriculture. In certain
sections where custom gristmills are
found, farmers still have some grain
ground into flour and meal for home
use. Occasionally a farmer is found
who has his own little mill and who
makes his own -four and meal.
The average farm family consumes
about six barrels of flour In a year.
In the South the average annual con-
sumption Of cornmeal is about 500
pounds per family and in the North
about so pounds. The consumption
Of buckwheat and rice is low, except
In areas where these crops are gen.
orally grown.

RAGDoLL TESTER Is
SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT

The rag-don method OF test
ing individual ears Of corn is one
of the simplest and most eco
nomicaI, and is efficient. says
the United States department Of
agriculture.
The tester consists of a strip
Of cloth, preferably bleached
muslin, Is inches wide and from
three to five feet long. The
cloth should be marked on into
square sections and the squares
all numbered. The ears to be
tested should also be given cor
responding numbers Six or
more kernels should be selected
from different parts of each ear,
and placed in the proper sec
ton
When the tester is filed, fold
over each side so that the edges
meet in the center. roll up, and
soak the tester for few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain of
the excess water and place the
dolls in a warm place for the
seed to terminate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to
keep them moist, and in about
five days the seed should be suf-
ficiently well terminated to show
its fitness for planting.
Farmers Bulletin 943, 1.-THE
Rag-DolI Seed Tester" describes
fully this method of testing seed
corn. It may be obtained free

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The quantity and quality Of the corn
you will harvest next fall depend, first,
on the kind of seed you plant this
spring. Perfect culture and the best
weather in the world cannot remedy
the initial evil if you plant poor seed.
A good seed corn, say specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, is one that is adapted to the
locality, is grown on the most produc
tive plants of a productive variety, is
well matured, and preserved from ri
pening to planting time in such a way
that the full vigor of the seed will be
retained.
1t should have been selected in the
fall from the stalk, but If that was
neglected all that can be done now is
to obtain a uniform type Of seed true
to varietal characteristics and that will
grow.
sproutIne Not Whole Story.
The mere fact that the kernels will
sprout in germinator is not the whole
story. Recent experiments have shown
that weak sprouts may be indications
planted is likely not to sprout and, If
it does, will grow only q few inches or,
at best, produce q barren stalk.
Corn that will come up but that will
produce an improbable crop is worse
than seed which won't grow at all, be-
cause 1t fools the farmer into wasting
labor and land on it. Know what your
seed will do by selecting it yourself.
Cheap seed corn may prove very
dear; the seed corn that produces the
best crop usually is the cheapest.
If you must buy seed, pay your
neighbor a reasonable price for select
ed, well-preserved seed of a variety
that has made good in a neighboring
field; but don't pay stranger a fancy
price for seed claimed to give mIracu-
Ious yields.
Points on Preparing for Planting Seed.
Seed ears should first be nubbed, and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.
The small kernels from the tips are

There is no doubt but that silage is
