out by the state of Illinois. The state

If the road is dangerously narrow
nOw.-as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will it be
in twenty years? X
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
travelled roads greater width will
seem narrow in twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear to. the fences or sides Of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the readand fence. Every foot is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
is as much a part of the European
highways as is the: case with our city

provide wider payements,e will find

sible relief from railway congestion

in narrowing our. paved highways will
prove short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly OF
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes

ing the war had to be cut in two and

larged. This is highway lesson to

Eighteen Feet Should Be the Mini.
mum, Not tho Maximum on Main
Travelled Roads.

Through all the years we have been
trying to maintain from forty to sixty
foot roads in a large percentage OF
our public highways when such a
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this lack of care has made them
spreaders of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway, well kept, would
in most cases serve all the purposes
required, drainage and safety, says
the Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are to be hard
surfaced the tendency is to go to the
other extreme in order to save taxes
for paving. We must look ahead. If
we put down a paving that will last
fifteen or twenty years, we must esti-
mate if possible the amount and kind
Of traffic it will bear at that time.

SUCCESSFUL BUTTER MAKING
Work Is Not Difficult, but Serupu'ous
Cleanliness Must Be Observed
at Every Stage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The best foods in the world are
available to the farm home which
cares to raise and prepare them. Good
butter freshly churned several times
week is one of the luxuries incident
to life on the farm, and more than re-
pays the home lsltter maker for the
trouble involved. The work is not dlf-
ficult, but serupulous cleanliness must
be observed at every stage. All uten-
sils should be washed and scalded be-
fore and after churning.
The first consideration is the cream,
which should contain about ~ per cent
butterfat. A gallon of cream of this
standard will yield about three pounds
of butter. It is better to churn the
cream. not the whole milk. The cream
should be cooled Immediately after 1t
comes from the separator and kept as
cold as possible until the time Tor
ripening, which should be done at
temperature between 65 degrees Fab
renheit and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the cream is mildly sour, 1t
should be cooled to churning tempera-
ture or below and held so for at least
two hours before churning begins.
Successful butter-making depends
largely on the temperature at which
churning is done, but there is no one
temperature proper for every season
of the year. Churning is mechanical
process, and If it is done under the
same conditions on one day as on an
other the results should be identical.
The temperature is the factor which
| must be varied to get uniform results.
There is nothing in the old supersti-
tions regarding butter-making, such as
turning the churn backwards or put
ting a horseshoe nail into it to make
| the butter come If the temperature
is too low, the ckurning period Is un-
necessarily prolonged, or it may be
impossible to obtain butter. Too high
| a churning temperature is also to be
avoided because butterfat will be lost,
the butter will be soft and will not
keep well.
Butter will come in ten minutes at
too high churning temperature. or
