OF vital Importance, writes g. r
Farmer, In the Farm and Ranch r-ba
county or state funds cannot build a
Sra'ei road to every farmhouse. That
"ouid be inpracticable. Therefore.
tue farmer must look around for an
economical way to do II hlmself.
When we think Of the MANY creeks
with beds and beds Of gravel waiting

WONDER why there are no more good
srayel roads around every farm.
me work can be done entirely d,r-
ing net and muddy weather II neces
sary, and In this way the fsrrner can
nave good roads by putting IN work on
II al times when he could not be doing
work In the field. OF course. II could
not De expected to build any great
length Of road In one or two DAYS, un-
less the farmer has considerable help
But by first grading up the road, or a
part OF 1t, during one wet spell. finish
Ing 1t the next one, and then mt
ing the gravel from the creek bed on
1t each succeeding rain thereafter. un-
III the road Is up In hrst-class condI-
don, lot may be accomplished.
Even though the gravel supply
might not be enough to build the re-
qufred length Of road one needs only
to walt until the next rain, and when
the water has receded. ne will find a
new gravel bed waiting for him.
To figure the saving a good gravel
road would be to each farm would be
an impossibillty for It's good will 90
on so long as the farm is operated,
and the road is kept up, which can be
done very easily by filing In each
weak place with more gravel from the
creek, as It is needed.
So economical is this kind Of road,
that wherever there Is a creek with
gravel beds, there is no excuse for the
live, progressive farmer not having a
gravel road all around his farm. By
cooperation among the farmers, a
gravel road can be extended TO the
county or state highways. or to the
next closest town. However, that Is
a question that would bring In other
points, and this is an article to apply
to the individual farmer who would
Ike TO have good gravel road for
his own use on and around his farm.
1t will be the means OF his being
able 10 do hauling in muddy weather,
when It would be impossible to do It,
did he not have a gravel road, and
this alone will be worth much In dol
lars and cents in the course Of year
In getting products or machinery un-
der shelter when the weather requires
It.
AS this is an opportunity to have q
good road with no investment except
work, every farmer should give II seri-
ous consideration, and make arrange
nents to work on the suggestion.

Satisfactory Remedies
to Control Hog Vermi1

The following remedies, any Of
which will prove satisfactory, are sug-
gested by Y. L. Starkey, chief Of
animal husbandry, South Carolina A
and VI. college, in answer TO inquiries
from farmers on this subject.
I. Crude Oil Treatment.-This Is
the most widely used treatment
for hog lice. II should be ap-
piled to the hogs by pouring IL down
the back and rubbing it over the en-
tire body. taking pains TO see that the
head and ears are well covered One
application Of crude oil. provided IL Is
thorough. will eliminate hog lice. OF
course, In all cases It Is necessary TO
clean up the hog houses and sleeping
places and disinfect them with the
same preparation.
2 Coal Tar Productivity taking
an ordinary coal tar preparation,
you may be able TO control hog
lice. As in the case of crude
oil, the application Of this material
should be thorough. When 4 coal tar
Is used II Is necessary TO
repeat the treatment In ten days, be-
cause the lice are killed. but the nits
are not
g. Oil From 6aragss-Oil from
garages which has been drained
from the motors has been used
very satisfactorily TO control hog lice
However, some Of the oil which II
from garages has a great
ieal more kerosene in II than others
and when this Is the case il some
lines blisters
Oils are also beneficial in laying /
lust, which is almost as Injurious to
logs as lice.

Successful Road Repair
Ideas Tried in Kansas

Salvaging old pavements is an I'm
portant factor In the work Of the high
way engineer, and various methods
have been adopted IN the different 10
calides. In Kansas, G. W. Boulson.
city engineer of lola. has worked out
4 method Of salvaging concrete pave
ments by resurfacing with asphalt In
1912 the city OF lola laid .ix-inch
cement concrete pavement on East
Jackson avenue In the residential sec
ton. After being subjected to traffic
for SIX months the pavement began TO
show signs Of disintegration- Trans
verse and longitudinal cracks devel-
oped and where these cracks crossed
traffic gradually wore holes In the
pavement.
According TO Mr.. Boulson, the crack
ing was not due to faulty material or
workmanship. but to expansion and
contraction with temperature changes.
II was decided that the most economi-
cal procedure was to overhaul the old
concrete pavement and to use II as a
foundation for 4 pavement Of asphaluc
concrete. All loose material was re-
moved from the old pavement and sll
weak spots were cut out Holes which
penetrated to the entire depth OF the
old pavement. or nearly so, were filed
with new concrete. Pot-holes and large
holes which did not extend TO the SUB
soil were flied with asphaltic binder
Finally, an asphsltic concrete surface
two inches thick was laid and the /
street Immediately opened to traffic /
The rejuvenated pavement has given
excellent service.

FASHIONS RULED BY THE LAW
Even Handkerchiefs at One Time
Were Regulated by Statute-High
Hats Caused Sensation.

AS far back as the reign Of Edward
l there was form of jumper in vogue
which was known as the eote-hardie
In Henry Tvs time the scalloping
Of ladies' skirts was not allowed, for
in 1853 law was passed against "the
cutting Of the edges of sleeves or the
borders Of gowns into the form of let
ters, leaves or other devices"
Even handkerchiefs were once regu-
lated by law. There was an edict
dated June 2, 17S5, and issued by
Louis XVI at the request Of Marie An
toInette, which decreed that ''the
length of handkerchiefs shall be equal
TO their width" Since then they have
been square; and it seems likely that
they will remain so.
The top hat was first introduced In
England by Strand haberdasher
named Hetherington. Such a large
crowd was attracted that he was sum-
moned on a charge Of breach Of the
peace and was required to give bonds
to the value of $500.
A law was passed In the reign Of
Henry I which even went so far as
to prohibit the wearing OF long hair.
Such articles as boots did not escape
the eagle eye Of the lawmakers, as In
an edict dated 1895 people were for
bidden to wear boots the pykes or
points Of which exceeded two inches
in length. Anyone breaking this law
would be cursed by the clergy and
fined 20 shillings.
Long trousers appear TO have been
first worn about 1912, and were at first
the subject OF much amusement. They
were made fairly straight, with strap
fastening them down at the bottom
fashion that lasted some thirteen
years.
Then came the pegtop style, roomy
at the thighs and tight-fitting round
the ankles, which were discarded In
1880 in favor Of the bell bottoms
These were much the same as sailors
wear today. A little later the pegtops /
gain became the fashion, this time
without the strap under the boot.
Finally, about 1875. bags" Just

FARM
LIVE STOCK
Draft Work Horse Quite
Necessary on All Farms

OF recent years horse breeding has
gradually been abandoned on many
farms, with the natural result of a
serious decrease in horse stocks
throughout the country. Widespread
advertising Of farm tractors and
trucks, high prices Of feed and the
belief that cheap horses could readily
be obtained from the ranch country,
all have had their effect in lesseninz
horse-breeding activity. The automo-
bile has practically driven the light
horse of the roads of the country, but
everywhere heavy horses, as hereto
lore, are doing the major part Of the
work on farms and In the woods, while
many Of them are still being used
for short-haul work In the cities.
The time has come, in our opinion,
actively to resume the breeding of
heavy draft horses for farm work pur-
poses, says a writer in Successful
Farmer. A recent investigation in
Illinois showed that not over one
brood mare In five has of recent years
produced a foal At that rate it will
take over q years to replace the
horses now in use In that state, and
they are fast being retired on account
OF old age, unsoundness, or other
causes. The same thing Is true in
other great farming states
Over 100000 horses and mules
are still needed for work purposes in
America in spite Of the competition
OF farm tractors and trucks, and
should some deadly. infectious disease
run riot through the country, an IN
slant dearth OF work horses will have
to be faced. Abandonment Of horse
breeding is having Ike but gradual
effect in that direction.
While hOrse-breeding operations
have practically been ar a standstill,
horses needed to replace those retired
for one reason or another have come
from the range country Of the west,
but high freight rates and prevailing
low prices have about stopped the
source of supply. We now learn that
range horses are a drug on the mar
ket where they are raised, and are
being ''unloaded" as quickly as pos
sible It is even suggested that they
should be slaughtered to furnish
horse meat for sale in the cities. It
is also true that first-class, pure bred
draft stations never were so scarce
as at the present time.
Plainly. therefore. II will be neces-
sary again TO breed every sound. suit
able. Individually excellent and eff
cient brood mare the coming spring.
and each OF them. so far as possible,
should be mated with high-class, pre-
potent pure bred stallion Unless this
is done a famine OF good work horses
IS bound TO occur before long. and
prices in consequence threaten TO be
prohibitiye.

Common Scale Insects
Affecting Apple Trees

There are three common scales
which affect trees-the San Jose scale,
the oyster-shell scale and the scurfy
scale. The San Jose Is probably the
most common and most destructive
This scale Is about the size OF pin
head They form sort Of 4 crust on
the branches Trees badly covered
with these crusts should be sprayed
late during the fall and then again
early in the spring The oyster-sheil
scale is so called because II resembles
an oyster shell. and these also form
crusts on the branches The scurfy
scale gives the bark peculiar scurfy
appearance. and both OF these as well
as the San Jose should be sprayed
with a strong lime-sulphur solution
when the trees are dormant
About the only effective way TO Kill

terials, wire, iron bedsteads-these
 are a few of the things Alabama is
 already exporting to South America,
 but the list can be greatly augmented.
 The products which are sent must not only meet the customers requirements to insure return orders, but the ele- ment of good will is vital considera- tion. Business men by studying the situation can find many ways in which this good will may be cultivated. This is a field in which the states educational system may be of assist ance; for no better method has yet been devised of creating good will be- tween nations than through arrange ments for exchange of students in the colleges and universities. Already a number of young men from the Ar genuine are in the colleges and uni versailles of the Southern states, but there could be many more. Intelligent young men educated in our schools on returning to their native land would carry message which will have far-reaching and practical influence.

ALL SHADES of fOPINIONO
Rapid Destruction


 How rapidly the disaster of ut ter forest depletion is approaching us Is shown by the latest statis- tics published by the agricultural departments forest service. In round numbers the country Is con- suming twenty-two and half bii- lion cubic feet of wood every year, a per capita consumption of PIP feet, of which 110, or little more than half, is saw timber. We burn up the rest in cord wood. Includ- ing losses by fire, insects and dis ease, our total forest destruction foots up to approximately twenty five billion cubic feet annually. As against this we have to show a growth of six billion cubic feet year. In other words, we are every year drawing nineteen bil- lions cubic feet of wood in excess of replacement. Just how long this can continue before timber bank ruptcy is a question not yet an- swered definitely. But that the bankruptcy Is relatively near, uu- less there Is an improvement on present methods, Is a matter on which all experts are agreed.

 It is debatable, of course. whether familiarity breeds con- tempt. We grow so accustomed to certain scenes and certain sounds that they cease to have any effect upon our lives. This is well illustrated by crossing accidents on the railways, where the rignt to recover damages depends upon the failure of the engineer to sound the whistle and ring the bell. Those who live adjacent to the crossing almost invariably swear that the engineer was neg ligent In the discharge of his duty. Nine times out of ten they are mistaken. It generally is estab- lished that the engineer performed his duty. The neighbors have just grown so accustomed to the sound that they paid no attention to 1t.
 Every one, nearly. is conver- sant with the Lords Prayer, save the congressman who wanted the chaplain removed for plagiarism because he repeated it. The prayer Is uttered glibly by the tongues of millions of men every week, If not every day, in the year. Who shall say whether this constant iteration and reiteration have added to or detracted from the value of the prayer to the people. Something of its true spirit may have been lost by its very common use, yet it would be a wholly dan gerous experiment for the church and the individual man to cease this repetition and bring tre prayer to the attention of man. kind only in the sabbotical years. The droppings of water drop by drop may have no perceptible ef- feet upon the stone beneath, but year by year the repetition of these drops eventually will wear away the hardest granite. Until charter for some guaranty com pany shall issue from the King dom Come assuring the world that 1t Is becoming too familiar with the Lords Prayer, 1t cannot be too often repeated. although the repe- tition may be merely mechanical.
 So it is with the basic principles of democracy; they must con stantly be repeated. They may fall on dull and listless ears; they possibly may be unheard, but the ceasing of their constant repeti- tion would-be dangerous to the republic.
 Even in this careless age men are Willing to admit that in most Of the affairs of life they must pay a price. whether it may happen 10 be an adequate one or not.

A Much-Needed Work


 The rapid disappearance of woodland throughout America has been the cause of no little alarm of recent years. Not only the de- mands of industry, but fires and wasteful processes of manufacture have greatly decreased the coun- try's supply of timber. No little amount of effort has been ex- pended by the government for -estry service to conserve the na- tion's woodland resources. In ad- dition to fire protection and stat utes enacted to enforce preserva- tion the public at large has been asked to cooperate in every pos sible way in prolonging the life of the available timber supply. The establishing of experiment sta tions ought to prove highly suc- cessful as a means of insuring a supply for the future demands for lumber. There is no reason why non-arable lands should not be made to produce timber, thereby adding hundreds of thousands Of acres to the forest-bearing sec tfons. Such work will also serve to educate the public to a deeper sense Of It's responsibility in the matter of forestry preservation. It Is a branch of work for which there is need. and the American people can well afford to lend every possible assistance toward making 1t a success.
