GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
instance Cited Of Virginia Community
Where Great Progress Has Been
Accomplished.

That good roads are closely related
to prosperity there Is no question: OF
doubt. Only a few years ago tbs
section Of Virginia had but one mac4a-
am road, one creamery, which WONT
TO the wall, and a mere handful l0f
pure-bred dairy cattle, writes @. q.
COnger. Jr.. of Virginia In the Praeti-
cal Farmer. One not familiar with
the many blessings good roads bring
about might wonder In what way good
roads would affect creameries and
pure-bred cows. Let US take, for In
stance, Rockingham county, and see
just what good roads did In this sees
tiOn In the dairy business alone. to
say nothing Of the prosperity good
roads brought about in various other
ways. Previous TO our good roads the
one creamery did some business dur
ing the summer months. when the dirt
roads were at their best, but business
dwindled to nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads to deliver their milk.
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time 0
mere handful OF progressive farmers
began a movement for better roads
calling a meeting at a little village
centrally located in the county. The
attendance was good, and a great deal
of good roads" enthusiasm was
aroused. 1t was the first step In bet
ter roads that gained impetus by leaps
aud bounds. Today, In a few short
years. we have n network Of fine mac
adam roads throughout the entire
county. Following good roads came
rreameries. They sprang up over night
like mushrooms, till today the county
Is dotted with creameries, the sight OF
which does not look much like clos
Ing down for the lack OF milk, par
ticularly during the early hours of the
day, when auto trucks are pouring In
from the country. bringing milk from
every nook and corner OF the county.
Pure-bred cows came with the cream
cries, till today scrub stock no longer
dominates our farms. Ask any farmer
Why he disposed OF his scrub cows, re-
placing them with pure breds, and he
will tell you the creameries did II.

The MareeilIalse.

The words and music Of the French
national hymn, "MarseiIlaise," were
composed on April "a, 1892, by Rouget
de Isle, young French officer of
engineers, then stationed at Strass-
bourg. II was called by him "Le Chant
de rArmee du Rhin," but received its
present name because sung with great
fervor by a body of volunteers from
Marseilles. who entered Paris on July
20 Of the same year, and thus made the
song known TO the Parisians. The
statement is, however. doubted by
some. The Marseillaise" was for
hidden to be sung under the Restora-
ton and the second empire, but
speedily became the national song on
the outbreak Of the French German
war Of 1901.

WHY cULLING IS PROFITABLE
UneuIled Flock Of s92 Hens Laid 1876
Eggs In Week and $3.50 With
70 Taken Out.

An uncuIIed flock Of 800 hens laid
1876 eggs In the week before being
CulIed. Seventy nine weak layers were
cast out. The cullcd flock of 9l3 came
right hack the next week with II rec
ord Of $500 eggs. while the 20 cults.
living under precisely similar cOndi-
lions and doing their very best. were
laying only So eggs. The marker
value of the eggs layed by the cuils
was around $3.50. The cost Of feed
alone for them at cent day for
each hen was 1888 for the week. Fig
ures like these. say the poultry special
lists ut the university farm, show tn
importance Of keeping only the best
layers. Lessons driven home In the
farm bureaus and extension division,

should put thousands Of dollars In tn"

ROAD MARKERS AID TOURISTS
Trunk Highways Designated by Num-
Der to Correspond With One
on Official Map.

Since the adoption of q standardized
system of highway markers by the
state Of Wisconsin, five other states
and England have followed the model
plan. Each of the state trunk high
ways is designated by number to cor
respond to the number on the official
road map. Markers have been placed
at close intervals carrying the number
shown on the map, making It easy
for the tourist to reach the most re-

The average novice can reasonably

partment Of Agriculture. On the basis
of two hens to each member Of the

No back yard poultry keeper should be
satisfied with less than this. He should

SEES WOMEN RULE WORLD
French Professor Makes Prophecy
That May or May Not Cause Feel
inos Of Alarm.

Old maids are going to rule the world
within another generation, and when
that happens all sensible men, looking
for happy eNistences, will Try To flee
this earth and try out the planet Mars
This Is the opinion of Professor Cir,
Quit, probably the best-known French
authority in political economy, who
addresses his beliefs 10 the University
of Poitiers.
"Women are going to assume lead
ership, particularly in Europe, for the
next hundred years" Professor Circuit
says. "This does not mean that civ
ilizatlon is becoming effeminate, nor
does it result simply from the fact that
women will be numerically stronger.
But there are too many women for the
manageable miles and hundreds of
thousands Of them are being compelled
to make ill-assorted marriages In
which the man, In nearly every case,
is the weaker partner.
I'm that way women are gaining the
a~Scendency and II Is n certainty that
any society ruled by women will lack
intellectual courage, logic and inltia.
tive. Women married to men who are
their Interiors will become embittered
with life. Their experience will dis

find a whole body Of women, with a
and active majority of unmar-
ried women controlling things, and
men will have a very unhappy time."

PARROT A LIVELY PASSENGER
Offended at Restriction Of Its Liberty,
Bird Retaliated With Trick That
lrritated Sailors.

Jack O'Brien, a big green parrot.
was N of a consignment Of 100 birds
on the Booth liner Justin during a
trip from Manaos, Brazil, 1000 miles
up the Amazon, which ended at this
port yesterday, says the New York
World. Jack was made a pet by
those on board, and he accumulated
Il whole bagful Of tricks. One day
when the vessel had headed north
from Barbados, her last port Of call,
Jack took Offense because one of the
officers shOoed him out of his room
when the bird interfered with the max.
ing out of Il report.
For n day Jack brooded, spending
his time with the chief engineer.
Early the next morning the parrot
went to the cages of the other birds
and liberated at least a score Of them.
This caused CONSERVATION among the
negroes of the crew, for parrots kept
popping ont at them from dark places
and s%creeching In their ears when not
expected. Finally all the birds were
recaptured.
The officers were responsible for the
story that Jack at IL :45 o'clock every
night, when the watch was changed,
would mount the bridge and shout
out: "Change watch"
