CHIPS AND SPLINTERS.

Spring is here, so is cleaning day.
A scrub is the beginning of the end.
Something that is sweet yet
healthy-honey.
In eggs there is health, energy and
economy.
Sunlight destroys germs, let it
stream in.
A low sink causes many back
ache. Make it higher.
Washington stands we'll in the pro
duction of honey.
The food value of eggs is not af-
fected by their cheapness.
Canned eggs go well in the winter
Preserve them when cheap.
Fireless cookcr-heat stones put in
food and leave until meal time.
Honey is a natural sweet and not a
substitute or a manufactured product.
Butter is about 50 points above the
1913 price, beef cattle % points be
low.
A mower that cost $53 in 1913, S105
last year, now can be bought for 500.
Simplicity, comfort and becoming
ness make for the well dressed
woman.
The war is over but gardening
should never be forgotten home oc-
cupation.
The purebred sire campaign is
bringing good results by eliminating
the scrub sire.
Every farmer should give some
of his time and energy in promoting
the interest of farming
Dishwashing may seem tiresome
but often it is the way dishes are
handled which tires the washer.
A good purebred sire from heavy
milk and butterfat production will in
crease the coming herd average.
Keep the home garden free from
weeds during the early part of the
season and it will take less work
later
The by-product of a general farm
is manure. Sometimes the by-pro-
duct in manufacturing is worth more
than the product. This might apply
to manure.
There's good authority for the
statement that George Washington
owned Americas first mule. The
mule was a present to Washington
from the King of Spain and was
named Royal Gift.

VISION OF FUTURE TO BE
BUILT ON LINCOLN HIGHW ~

Plans have been received by the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
for the Ideal Section" of road to be
constructed on the Lincoln Highway
in Lake County, Ind, during the com
ing summer. The designers of this
road intend to produce in it their Wis
ion of what the main highways of the
country must he in the future. The
plans submitted by the State High
way Department of Indiana show
that the section will be nearly 1&i
miles in length and will be placed in
the middle of a 100-foot right of way.
The roadway is to be 10 feet wide
and provision is made for the use of
concrete. bituminous concrete, or

COST OF PAVING COMPILED
ON TYPES OF MATERIAL.

Average costs per square yard of
various types of paving for century
roads have been compiled by the Blu
reau of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture. The fig
ures cover 68,000,000 square yards of
paving constructed with Federal aid
in all parts of the United States dur
ing the period 1916-1921. The costs
per square yard are as follows: Sand
clay, IS cents; gravel, as cents; plain
and surface-treated macadam, 95
cents; bituminous macadam, $210;
bituminous concrete, $3.50; plain &C.
ment concrete, $2.57; reinforced-ce-
ment concrete, $2,74; and brick, $4.10
These figures cover only the cost of
the paving; they do not include the
cost of grading, and officials point
out that it must not be assumed that
roads of the several types can be con-
structed in any locality at these fig
ures. For example, the cost of BIZ
luminous concrete varied from $1.7O
in the New England States to 1913
in the group of states including Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and
Alabama. In one group of States the
cost of brick dropped to $40. Costs
of constructing these types in the va
rious groups of states have been COM
piled and can be obtained from the
bureau.

neer instincts being fully as strong
as in his earlier days. In the coun-

sisting practically of Mr.. Knox and
w. c. Winton, his son-in-law. A
mill was built at Fall Lake, near Ely.
1T required ten years to manufacture
the timber adjacent to this mill, af-
ter which Mr. and Mrs. Knox moved
TO Duluth where Mrs. Knox died in
1912. MI Knox continued to reside
in that city until his death.
An infallible proof of his kindness
and liberality was that in those days
when labor drifts and shifts and when
"a premium is paid for stability among
employees, Mr. Knox had in his EN-
ploy men who had been, with him
continuously for twenty-five to thirty
years. He never in the course of his
business had strike or any labor
trouble approximating it. 1t was a
great record.
Samuel G. Knox is survived by two

OPERATIVE PLAN
ADOPTED In NEVADA
Marketing Exchange and Local
Associations Are Now in
Successful Operation.

There are very few farmers left, in
western Nevada who are not now ia
vorable to the cooperative marketing
plan adopted last fall at the Reno
meeting, and which has begun func-
tioning.
The action of congress In sanction
ing such cooperative organizations
and the growth and achievements of
the cooperative marketing movement
throughout the country, has been the
leayen which has brought farmer
after farmer in line for a try-out in
this state. "
Every alfalfa grower who has an
alyzed the marketing of last seasons
crop, which, as a rule, was sold for
less than the cost of production, is
convinced that the only way to stabiI-
lie hay production and insure fair
prices is through a cooperative sell
ing agency. The plan prescribed In
the state exchange and local asso-
Citations, involving contractual OBJ
legation between the grower and his
association, under which minimum
prices can be maintained, leaving the
grower otherwise free to sell as he
pleases, and providing for developing
and securing outside markets for the
surplus, seems to hit the nail on the
head. 1t is something that Nevada
farmers can and must put over for
their own welfare.
The cooperative selling plan. as
embodied In the exchange and feder-
ated associations is all embracing in
respect to farm and range products.
No product is taken over for collec-
tive marketing until the board of di-
rectors of the local association, by q
four-fifths vote. decide so to do. They
may not then take 1t over unless they
are prepared to render some proper
and efficient service in its marketing
The plan. therefore. is progressive.
BEGINNING with hay and probably 20
tatoes, in certain counties; with grain
or dairy products, etc, in other dis
trfcts, each association is a law unto
itself as to what products it will I'M
iertake to market. Since no one who
is not a producer can he member,
growers control their own enterprise.
Another important feature of the
plan is that each product pays for its
own marketing. The cost of the serv-
ice rendered in marketing hay is as
sessed against hay only: of market
ing potatoes, against potatoes. etc.
and separate accounts are kept for
each product.

change. the headquarters of which are

goes out at times there is an open cir
cult in the coil. If the light goes out
when the coil is Jared the slider does
not make good contact with the wind

If buzzer and battery are avail
able they can be used in testing for
an open circuit in the same way that
the lamp can be used. Connect the
battery and buzzer in series with the
test clips or tips and any low resist
ance circuit can be tested.
The ground connections can be
tested with a buzzer and battery, but
do not use the housekeeping circuit
to test for grounds because one side
of the lighting circuit is already
grounded and if the other side were
connected to the ground short cir
cult would exist and an excessive cur
rent flow.
If the ground wire is connected to
the water pipe, connect one test tip to
the ground and the other to the gas
pipe, which is also grounded. The
buzzer should buzz If one has good
low resistance ground.
Leakage usually exists between the
antenna and the ground. An antenna
should be well insulated from its sup
port. The lead-in should be brought
down to the point where it enters the
wall of the station in such a manner
that when the wind causes it to
swing, it cannot touch any grounded
material, and that rain and snow can
not cause a path along which the cur

ture, If not attainable at first, will
come in due time.
While the membership contract calls
for one-half the regular marketing
charge to be paid by the grower on
sales made by himself, following the
California plan, the writer is of the
opinion that, in respect to alfalfa hay,
for example, the charge by the ex-
change, for its support and the Oak
land office, should be established at
81 per ton on direct sales by the ex-
change and 10 cents per ton, only,
on sales made by the growers them
selves. The above 81 per ton would
include any service rendered by the
local association in direct sales. The
10 cents per ton on growers sales
would go direct TO the exchange and
would probably need to be supple
mented by 5 cents per ton more for
association service.
The foregoing charges are not oner-
Gus, but very moderate. If the ex-
change and associations function sue

HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL
II Properly Done 1t Really Protects
the Property From
Lightning.

Generally speaking, aerials do not
attract lightning, but they do store up
atlnospherical electricity, and, of
course, this condition does create a
hazard. However, when the aerial Is
properly grounded it then acts as a
lightning rod and really protects the
property from this electrical hazard,
Briefly, the fire underwriters require
that the aerial he grounded when not
in use by a COPPER wire no smaller
than B. S. Gauge No. 4 or larger, and
run said wire as directly as possible
to the outside ground.
This means that water, gas or steam
mines inside the property cannot be
used for lightning ground, because
if ever this ground was called into
service there is possibility that fire
and loss of life may result. So do not
use inside grounds for lightning pro
lection.
