But the Doc who drove Dobbin and

Now uses tin Lizzie to pcddlc his pills;
And Hiram who used to court Maude

Drives up in Buick and tucks her in

And old Uncle Eben who lives on the

Purchased an auto to give him a thrill.
The merchant who formerly drove a

Uses fifty horse power to go to the fair
The tourist proceeds enveloped in dust

funny
Hard surfaced roads cost so much
money:
And earnestly hope to find one who
Build road cheap, a road that will
stand
Under traffic too heavy for gravel or
sand.
Lower in cost than the hard surface
And the Highway Commissioner puz-
zles his brain
Over washboarded roads due to alb

Conditions are changing and roads
must change too,
It's hell of problem to know what
to do.

Barrel Is Satisfactory
Self-Feeder for Swine

cheap and satisfactory feeder for
young pigs can be made from a bar.
rel. says Il. r. Gross. professor Of
rural engineering at the State College
OF Agriculture.
A method found satisfactory by
many farmers and pig club boys Of
the state Is to knock out heads of a
barrel. and then from old boxes build
square platform Is inches wider than
the diameter OF the barrel. On the
center Of this platform a pyramid with
a square base Is built The base Is
made Just large enough so the barrel
can stand over 1t.
Feed Is then put into the barrel, the
bottom OF which must be raised just
sufficiently to permit the feed to run
out as the pigs eat. This is done by
mailing four blocks under its edges.
With feed In the barrel the proper
height is easily determined.
In using this or any other type of
the owner must be sure
hat enough feed runs through fast

Efficient Storage for
Apples Most Important

The failure of the common storage
houses built years ago was due to
faulty construction and inefficient ven
tilation. The walls were rarely con-
structed tight enough to keep out
moisture and rain, and the insulation
was composed of so-called "dead-air
spaces" which were inefficient, or were
OF sawdust, which became wet and
therefore useless. The result was that
In many sections these houses fell into

terested in providing themselves with
emclent common storage houses con-
structed and operated to hold fruit in
good condition several months. This
Is particularly so In the West, where
growers are organized into associations
and have community packing and stor-
age houses. They are thereby enabled |
not only to market the fruit at con-
venient time. but when marketing con-

about four thousand years ago
there lived an important and noble
gentleman who thought 1t would be In
teresting to have everything he owned
copied into toy.
$50 the boat that he went forth
a-sailing in was copied. The animals
he owned were all copied into little
toys, too; so were his children and
all the things that were a part of his
life, too.
Every day he would watch his cat
tie go by and he had a toy made show
ing himself sitting and gazing upon
the cattle as they went by-just such
a toy as you will see today of a whole
circus, only more interesting.
And these toys seemed more amaz-
Ing and were so beautifully made.
when l say that he had his chill
dren copied into toys mean that In
stead of having their pictures taken as
people would do these days he had
little toys made which looked Just like
his children
"Just as though l had some toy
maker come and make a little figure
to look exactly like Nick or exactly
Ike Vanguard yet it would be toy
ioll
And then he had toy copy made
II the kitchen boat that used to 90
longside the boat he was in and at
nealtlme 1t would come up closer and
he Kitchen workers would pass over
he meals. All of this was copied in
oys.
Ihere were toy copies made of
oth boats, you see, when close togeth-
and of the figures in the boats.
"Oh, wonderful toys these were of
many, many, many years ago, and
great, great many years these
easures were hidden in the ground.
When l saw these toys 1 thought
once Of taking you both to see them
on, and We'll go, just as soon as ever
. can"
Both the children were delighted, |
they wanted to see just how these S
!, old toys were made.

Oklahoma Expert Gives
Plan for Planting Tree

In case the soil Is not prepared upoI
the receipt of the trees, they can b'
heeled In. Keeling In consists Of dig
cling a trench and burying the roots Of
the trees with the tops tilted to the
south. The handle should be cut or
box unpacked before placing the roots
In the trench In order that soil may
be packed In among the roots.
Where the hole to receive the trees
Is dug by hand. remove the top soil
and place In a pile and then the bot
| tom sol. In separate pile. This will
enable you to fill In the top or richer
soil next to the roots of the tree. Dig
a hole sufficiently deep and large to
receive the roots of the tree without
ramming them. In a heavy soil never
set the tree deeper than 1t stood in the
nursery. In a light soil couple Of
inches deeper will not make any differ
ence. general rule however, Is to
set the tree the depth 1t originally
stood in the nursery.
The roots of trees should not be ex-
posed to the drying wind or sun and
therefore avoid a windy day to set
trees If possible. Wrap a wet sack
around the roots and remove the trees
AS planted. In case of many trees q |
tub of water and sled or wagon will
be very handy.
In case Of mat of fine roots or ex-
cessively long roots, some of the fine
ones may be cut off and the long ones
shortened. Broken or badly bruised
'oots should be cut back beyond the
INJURED portion, making smooth, slop-
ng cut on the under side Of the root
o that, when planted, the cut surface
Vill come In direct contact with the
hoist soil.
Place the roots In the hole and fill
