HORSEPOWER ON GOOD ROADS
Figures Show How Hard Surfacing of Highways Facilitates Transpor-
 tation to Market.

The value of hard surfaced roads in getting products to market or in taking goods from the cities to the farms is shown by these facts, accord ing to the Oklahoman:
 Suppose a load weighing 6,27O pounds must be taken to market. On four different types of roads, the fol lowing number of horses, it is estimat- ed, would be required to pull the load. using the same wagon in each case:
 On a loose sand or mud road, ten horses.
 On a dirt road, five horses.
 On a gravel road, two horses.
 On a good macadam road, one horse.
 To illustrate again: Suppose a farmer uses one horse to pull his prod ucts to market. On the various roads, with the same wagon. the horse can pull the following:
 About 800 pounds on a muddy dirt road.
 From 1.2OO to 1,5OO pounds on a smooth dry dirt road.
 About 5000 pounds on good gravel road.
 From 5000 to e,3oo pounds on a good Liacadam road.

ROAD BUILDING
LARGE SUM FOR GOOD ROADS
Cost of Improvements Completed Dur ing Fiscal Year of 1920 Estimated
 at Sso, ,oOo, 900.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Federal-aid highways constructed last year cost more than double the average amount annually for ten years in building the Panama canal. The cost of the work completed during the fis- cal year of 1920, including the amount paid by the states, totaled approxi- mately $SO,OO0,OOO.
 The construction of the canal is re- garded the world over as a record breaking achievement in respect to the dispatch with which it was carried out. The cost, however, was only S373,OOO,- GOO, and ten-year period was re- quired to complete it, the average rate Of expenditure being only $37,OOO,OOO a year.

Variety of Fowls Should Regulate
 Height of Fence.

most of the other breeds can be kept in by a six-foot fence. Hamburgs and Leghorns may be kept in the yards by clipping the flight feathers on one | wing. Gates should be provided in order to permit access from one yard to the next
 ble yards, for then one may rotate green crops. The yards may be sown to oats, wheat, or rye, and while the fowls are using one yard the green feed in the other can be getting a fresh start.
 When the yards are to be on only one side of the house, they should be on the south side in order that the fowls may have the benefit of the first dry ground in early spring. It not in- frequently happens that in localities where snow is abundant the ground on the south side is dry many days before that on the north side
 If the yards are to be in permanent sod and are to furnish green feed for the fowls, 70 to 80 square feet should be allowed for each bird, poultry spe- cialists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say. If part of the green feed is to be otherwise pro- for exercise grounds, 35 to 40 square feet per bird will be sufficient
 Shade of some kind should be pro vided, and this can often be ad- vantageously furnished by planting fruit trees (such as pears, plums, cher ries, and apples) in the yard

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason Is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer This applies more particularly to a medicine A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited. to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has large a -sale."
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulflls all most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
