Certain Minerals Quite
Beneficial to All HOES

A healthy hog doesn't need a lot of
drugs in his feed or water, but certain
minerals are necessary, and the most
successful breeders keep these minerals
before their hogs at all times. Wood
ashes, or charcoal, lime and salt are
used by many of the most successful
breeders. The charcoal can be made
very easily by burning cobs. Rake up
the cobs into a pile and FIRE them.
When they are well charred sprinkle
salt over them, then quench the fire
with water. The charred cobs may be
raked into a pile and the hogs will
help themselves.
y Where self-feeders are used and salt,
lime and charcoal settled, the charcoal
need not be sailed, but simply grind I'D
the charred material. If your pigs run
on good pasture and get plenty of good
buttermilk or skim milk they will not
need so much of these minerals, but 1t
Is we'll worth while to have them be-
fore them anyhow. They need some
of them to supplement and balance any
ration.

BETTER
ROADS
Means of Transportation
Should All Be Unified

How improved highways are ex-
handing the business and life Of the
nation. and why all means Of transpor-
tation should be unified into one In
tecral Unit, was outlined In two recent
speeches by Roy D. Chaplin, chairman
of the highways committee Of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce. In both addresses Mr.. Chaplin
was chosen as spokesman on good
roads for the automobile Industry.
one occasion was the dedication OF
the Zero Milestone monument In wash
ington, d. @. Speaking In behalf OF
the National Automobile Chamber of
| Commerce, Mr. Chaplin said, In part:
"Time was when all roads led to
Rome. The world moves westward
civilization follows the same path
way and today we dedicate this visible
mark of a new era-when all roads
lead to Washington. From this Zero
Milestone will radiate to the homes In
America-improved highways over
which will pass daily tens of millions
of our people and vast proportion OF
our commerce.
Billions will be expended on our
roads in our lifetime, that highway
transport may adequately serve US.
Partly from economic, but more large
ly from human reasons, we must all (
give pause and study this newly pow
erful agent Of marching civilization"
Just previously Mr. Chaplin advo-
Gated a unficatlon Of air, rail and
water transportation, In speech to the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States.s He said In part:
1--WE of America stand in the trans
ition stage of the greatest develop
ment of transportation in all of the
history Of the world.
''In the past 1t has been said that
has been the pawn Of
kings in shaping the course Of en-
pires.
"Today 1t has become the tool of the
Individual in working out the problem
# the family.
Turning then to the immediate
question Of coordination of all our
ABILITIES Of transportation, 1t seems
o me the dominant theme must be
ervice. The form or type of carrier :
sed is secondary to the demand for
fficient and completed transportation. :

eight grains of santonin, two drains

This dose is suitable for 1Oo-pound

NATIVES ARE TOO POLITE
Kills Him Because He Did Not
Wish to Be Rude.

Related to the weakness which In
duces the Papuan native to lie in order
to humor the European Is the courtesy
which he often displays on the most
unexpected occasions.
You may tell the same story two or
three times to Papuan, but he will
laugh just as heartily or express just
the same establishment the last time
as the first. No hint will escape him
that he has heard the story before.
And even in the crimes which he not
lnfrequently commits-mostly crimes
Of yiolence-he is not always forgetful
OF the rules of politeness.
HE wanted me to carry him across
the water" said a prisoner who was
charged with numbering another ma
tive whom he had met and done to
death on the bank of a river, but he
looked very heavy. OF course 1 could
not be so rude as to refuse to carry
him, so l thought that the best way
out of the difficulty was to kill him.
Courteous, too, was the explanation
given to me by some natives of the
mountains inland of Rigo, who were
charged with attacking police patrol.

they said, "and we did not know what
they were. If we had thought for a

mode OF harvesting 1t Is interesting.
Instead OF the usual method the reap

What is known as ''the shouting of
the churn" comes down from the time
when Apollo was worshiped In Eng

or circle formed by several persons
holding hands. The word churn alse
signifies chaplet worn around the
bead or carried suspended on a pole

Highway Leads to Long
Extinct Mexican Volcano

OF the many spiral roads built for
ascending steep mountain SUBMITS one
of the most interesting Is that which
has recently been completed to the
crater of the extinct volcano Macunte-
pee in the vicinity Of Jalapa, a city Of
the State Of Vera Cruz, Mex, 70 miles
by rail from the port of Vera Cruz,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Jalapa Is picturesquely situated on the
slope Of the sierra which separates the
central plateau of Mexico from the
Gulf coast, at an elevation Of 1900
feet. To the south of 1t the peak Of
Cofre de Perote rises to a height Of
13,419 feet, and still farther south
that Of Orizaba, 1900 feet, the high
est peak In Mexico and the second
highest In North America.
The new road starts at point on
the national highway to Mexico City
that is about a mile and a quarter
from the center of Jalapa. For dis
lance Of about half a mile to a gate
at the entrance of the hill the road is
on privete property, and here It Is
about thirteen feet wide with a 6 per
cent grade. From the hill entrance to
Its summit the road Is LIZ feet wide.
with maximum grade Of per cent.
excepting In few spots where an
increased grade Of per cent was nee

on sidehili cuts, excepting a short
stretch Of about 1913 feet at the end OF
the first complete circuit of the hill.
where 1t was possible to build the road
on the surface without any cutting
For reasons Of safety it was decided
to make two one-way roads, one for
