GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Bum Of $500 ,o00, 900 Lost Last Year by
Farmers Unable to Get to Market
Over Highways.

Good roads are the greatest single
factors in securing and maintaining
community prosperity" Last year
the sum Of 100000, 900 was lost by
farmers In being unable to market
their products over bad roads. Roads
that are impossible during part Of
the year cost farmers In every COM
munity thousands Of dollars a week.
When one stops to think that in
every township laid out In sections
there are 72 miles Of roads. it is easy
to imagine the mileage of roads in
this country, says a writer in an Ex-
change. OF these hundreds of thous-
ands Of miles of roads and streets,
comparatively few miles are paved,
and noted authority on road build
ing prophesies that not more than 8
per cent of all the roads In this coun-
try will be paved by 1926.
1t would be excellent il we could
have all hard roads-brick, concrete
or macadam roads, which are good
all-year roads. We should have more
Of them. But 1t is impracticable to
pave every country road. However,
1t is just as important to have good
laterals leading to the main roads as
1t is to have hard surfaced main roads.
So we must do the best we can and
properly maintain our dirt roads and
streets.

TRAFFIC WEAR ON BRIDGES
New Instrument Measures With Seien-
tlfic Precision the Effect Of
Every Shock.

prepared by tha United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
A new instrument devised by the
bureau of public roads of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
measures with scientific precision the
effect Of every shock and blow deliv-
cred by moving vehicles III crossing
bridge. Attached to any part Of the
bridge structure, this instrument
makes q Photographic record of the
effect Of the moving load The amount
Of stretching or shortening Of the part
as result Of the shocks Is represent
ed by a fine black line on the photo
graph.
No blow or shock can be delivered
so quickly that the instrument will not
record its effect. 1t has never before
been possible to measure the effect of
such blows. Engineers have long been
able to calculate the effect of standing
loads very exactly; but because of
their inability to measure the effect of
quickly delivered blows or impacts.
they have never been able to proper
tion the various parts of bridge with
absolute assurance. 1t has been nec-
essary to make liberal allowance for
this unknown quantity. In some cases
the allowance has not been sufficient
and the bridges have collapsed under
moving loads.
Many bridges still in service are
probably too weak to withstand safely
the sharp blows Of swiftly moving
vehicles, though they will safely carry
the same vehicles at rest or moving
at slow speed. The familiar warning
posted Mt the portals Of bridge:
Speed limit on this bridge eight miles
per hour" means that the design Of
the bridge to which 1t Is attached Is
not strong enough to allow for impact.
In the light of the recent experiments
with motortrucks In which 1t was
shown that swiftly moving motor

degrees is unimportant If temporary
but If permanent 1t indicates serious
condition which needs attention. A
rise of 10 to u degrees in animals is
usually fatal.
In calling veterinarian bytelephone,
1t is often important to be able to give
the exact temperature of the animal.
A good clinical thermometer, IL avail
able, should be used according to
veterinary methods.
The thermometer will tell whether
the cellar or storage house is Of the
right temperature for produce. Apples
are frequently stored in outside cellars,
where the temperature Is best If 1t can
be kept at 81 or 30 degrees but "a
or SO degrees will give satisfactory re-
suits. If the temperature Is to be
higher, the fruit should be placed in
storage soon after being picked, to
forestall preliminary decay.
For atmospheric temperature of
room the thermometer should be hung,
If possible. away from the wall and
where it will not be affected by air
currents from open doors on windows
or from stoves or artificial heat in the
cold seasons.
With constant use one becomes
acquainted with the instrument, so
that dependence will be placed upon It;
and with constant use uniform success
In operations conditioned on tempera-

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hardly useful instrument around
farm Is more neglected than the
thermometer. Properly appreciated, It
would serve the farmer in many ways.
Exact information on the temperature
Of the air is Of importance but there
are dozens Of other uses.
A thermometer should be the con-
stant companion Of the dair ryman. In
probably no other department Of the
farm can thermometer be used to
greater advantage than In connection
with dairy operations.
The temperatures at which milk.
cream, and butter are kept, and at
which the various operations Of butter
making are carried on, are very i'm
portant.
When milk is to be sold Us such 1t
should be Immediately cooled. The
reason for this is to stop the increase
of bacteria as much as possible. Bac-
terra will reproduce themselves every
half hour If the temperatures are
favorable.
If milk is to be separated by the
centrifugal process, 1t should have a
temperature Of about 90 degrees II by
the gravity methods. 1t should be
cooled to 30 degrees very soon after
milking. The temperature at which
cream is churned is an important item;
SO to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is CON
sidered about right Butter should be
stored In cool place to keep 1t sweet.
For all these purposes 1t Is essential
to have thermometer, and one that
can be depended upon for accuracy.
The necessity Of maintaining cor
rect temperature in an incubator need
not be emphasized. The temperature
Is correct at 1O3 degrees, and it should
not go lower than that, especially
during the first six days. Some incu-
bators have an electric alarm which
rings bell when the temperature goes
below 1O3 degrees.
In the care of live stock, the clinical
or fever thermometer may be found
very useful. The following are the
normal temperatures of farm animals:
Swine, 1O4; goats or sheep, 1O2 to 1O3;
cows, 1O1 to 1902; horses, 90 to 900;
