MANS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

ton is the ultimate logic Of all ZOO

of a writer in the Nation of London.

human life injuriously. bur they form
an infnitesimal portion of the inhabi-

''the punishment does not fit the

Even if il were granted that animals

in graceful movements, and not least
of all joys. the power of satisfying
their continual curiosity.
Much has been done for animals. and
much more might be done for the wild
birds. For the eagles. hawks. condors
and vultures the writer feels that
nothing can be done. He quotes from
that great lover of birds, w WFHud-
son. to whom the sight of any bird in
cage. be it robin redbreaSt or bird
unknown TO William Blake literally
sets him in rage. He has some
where described a sermon he heard ON
genius. in which the preacher likened
the life of the ordinary person to that
of the canary in its cage. But of the

and cities and all items of sinking-fund
payments or the redemption and inter
est payments on road and bridge
bonds have been excluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an Increase of approx
mately 33 Is per cent over those OF
1918 and 40 per cent over those of
1914. More striking. however. is the
increase in the proportion of the total
funds supervised by the several state
highway departments. In 1918 the ex-
penditures by or under the supervision
of the state highway departments
amounted TO S117, 2S5, 26S, while the
local road fumes. over which they exer-
cised no control whatever. amounted to
$16S. SD 925. In 1919, however. the
state highway departments supervised
the expenditure of $500, 90. 694 a.

pended by the local road and bridge
authorities.

New Idea for tombstone

Austin J. Hartman of Custer. Okla
has invented what he calls ''new
and improved tombstone" 1t is de
signed to represent life-size human
figure standing erect. For instance,
it might be Il soldier. The material
is galvanized iron, mace hollow. so
that the tower part of it may be flied
with cement to make a heavier base
The body is hollow in order that. If
desired, it may hold an urn containing
the ashes Of the deceased. As for the
head. it is meant TO be screwed on.
and may be made likeness of the

The farmer learns TO recognize them.
Children especially nowadays learn TO
know makes of automobiles at sight
and can pick out those which fire.
quently pass. One effective way of
catching the motor trade is to note the
license numbers, look them up at the
city hall or police station on some trip
to town, and then drop them postal
cards calling attention to the advan-
tage of carrying home a bush4 of
this and that product on their next
trip. This form of appeal is more
effective if the farm has distinctive
name, as a constantly increasing num-
Der of farms have. One thing essen
tial to building up even transient
trade in farm products Is that the
prices shall be reasonable, preferably
a shade below city market prices.
and that the goods shall be of honest
quality. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed on the latter feature There
is, of course. a temptation to reason
that the same customer will not come
back again, but this is likely not TO
be so, and even if it is. there is a
broad freemasonry among motorists,
and the word quickly spreads that one
of the number has been cheated,
whether it be by garage, repair man,
hotel or dealer. city or country.
Fair Dealing Pays Best.
The farmer has to market his prod
uce somewhere. If he takes it TO
the city, it will be carefully inspected
for quality and the price will be reeu-
lated by supply and demand. If he
will place his product in such posi-
ton as TO attract and arrest the pass
ing motorist and then make the price
and quality such that the motorist
wants to come that way again or tells
his friends to stop, he is on his way
to a business that may be made sea-
son long and highly profitable If
the farmer keeps on hand supply Of
suitable bags or packages in which TO
handle his products, it will mean many
sale which otherwise would be lost
because the autoist would often not
be prepared to handle the things he
would like to buy. This idea is capa-
bic Of adaptations that will suggest
themselves.

BEGIN WITH POPULAR BREED
Not Wise for Beginner to Experiment
With So-CalIed New or Untried
Kind of Fowls.

Unless imbued with the true fan
cier spirit, beginners in poultry cul-
ture had better not enter their novi-
ate with a so-calied new" or nOn-pop-
ular breed. AS a general rule sales
of stock in this class are always linn
tied. hence TO build up a trade is at
best a slow process. There will also
be lacking a fellowship between neigh
bors breeding the kind of poultry. as
there will be less interest manifested.
Better begin with a popular breed for
which there Is an established demand,
and one that possesses commercial
Importance, either for eggs or meat,
or both.

There are approximately 100000
automobiles in the United States and
there are almost that many farmers.
In this year. when the most expen-
sive crop ever raised by the American
hands for lack of a profitable market,
way is suggested to reduce surplus
by attracting automobile trade direct
to the farms.
Most city automobile owners drive
into the country once a week or more,
and every farm located on an automo-
bile road has dozens or hundreds of
possible customers for its fruits, vege-
tables, poultry and eggs passing its
gate every day. The war made the
market basket popular, and the ordi-
nary automobile owner who keeps
house would be perfectly willing to
take home a bushel or more of pro-
duce If by so doing he could lessen his
living expenses.
Stands Along Many Roadways.
Roadside stands for the sale of
fruits and vegetables are seen along
many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been de-
veloped to the full measure of success.
One of the principal difficulties is that
the autoist does not see the stand I'M
I'll he is abreast of il, after which he
must make up his mind and check
his machine. Then, in nine cases out
of ten, he concludes that there will be
another stand farther along and that
it is not worth while to turn around
and go back. One farmer in Pennsyl-
vania solved this difficulty by placing
a series of signs along the entire half
mile front of his Farm. These greeted
the motorist
"Fresh Fruit One-Fourth Mile"
Sweet Cider 60 Rods"
"Fresh Comb Honey so Rods"
"Fresh Vegetables 40 Rods"
Fresh Eggs 20 Rods"
The motorists eye thus was at
tracted and he had time to make up
his mind, and in a large number of
instances stopped and made a pur-
chase. The signs were inexpensive
and yielded a large profit.
There are many motorists who trav-
