RJBBC KEEPING UP COUNTRY ROADS ————— (. « Road Drag, Applied at Right Time and In Proper Mannsr Will Do the Trick Every Time. That country roads can be kept dur ing most of the year equal to or bet ter than piked or macadam roads has been proved time and again. The mad drag applied at the right time and In the right way will do the trick every . time. Of course, the road must be properly drained and rounded up first. But demonstrations all over the coun try have shown that In most Instances this can be done at a comparatively small cost. • The great need today Is for the fanner to realize the value of good roads. The cost of poor roads to the farmer In dollars and cents has been figured out Every rut and mud hole uses so much strength of the team and wear* out the wagon so much sooner than If the road was good. The size of the load Is limited by the piece of bad road or the hill which uses the strength of the team to the limit A ten-mile haul may be limited by an eighth of a mile of bad road.

A man driving In the country came to a stone which had rolled Into the road. He could have gone around the stone, but Instead of doing that he atopped and got out and rolled the atone away; not for his own sake, for he never expected to pass along that road again, but for the aake of others who would come after him. "That man," aays the Farm and Fireside, which told the story, "re sponded to a high, very high test of civilisation. He felt socially." Sav ages do not make roads; their paths follow the lines of least resistance and go around obstructions. Civilized man la a road maker, and the progre*- slveness of a community may be gauged by Ita roads. The higher the state of civilisation the better the roails. A man may be Judged, too, by his attitude toward roads. Good Roadt Mean. i; «• 'I i ► ■ j Better farmers and greater i.

This should consist of corn, Ave parts; oata, two parta; bran, two parts, and oil meal, one part. Borne fine clover or alfalfa hay should also be accessible. The ewes should be encouraged to keep up a good flow of milk, as this, too, Is an Important factor In the de velopment of a good lamb. Lambs reared In this way are less apt to suffer from stomach worms; command a higher price per pound.

' FOR PUBLIC SAFETY NATION HAS BEEN AWAKENED TO GREAT NEED. Prevention of Industrial Accidents and Casualties In Conflagrations la the Object of Aeeoclatlon of National Soope. Is the bitterness of a dozen years ago passing out of industry? Are em ployers becoming more humane? Is the public conscience awakening to the sin of omission as well as commission? Is the human element receiving recog j nltlon as the most precious asset of our nation? "Our state pays the salaries of more than a hundred game and fish wardens to protect the beasts of the fields and the fowls of the air and the fißhes of of our streams. What does it contrlb i ute toward the protection of the work ers In the Industries?" asked a labor organizer In a public meeting. • * xAsk the question today and the an swer will come from the national gov ernment at Washington, from every Ktute capital, from almost every city hall, from every church and school, and, probubly the truest barometer of nil, from tnousands of our largest em ployers, and from the best-posted In dustrial leaders. Nor does the movement stop with the Industrial accident. Twin cause of sorrow and misery of Industrial acci dent, fire takes toll in mine explosion and conflagration, but more often In the home. In Chicago last year 300 persons were seriously injured by burns or scalds. One-half of this num ber died, a majority of whom were little children. An association of na tional scope has taken this matter in hnnd and is accomplishing wonderful results. Railroads and accidents were almost synonymous terms a dozen years ago. Last year the managers of 312 rail roads reported to the government that not one passenger lost his life through collision or wreck. Industrial corpo rations reported a reduction from 37 to 70 per cent in number of accidents and an even larger percentage in re duction of fatal accidents. Last year a dozen governors of middle western states made proclama tion of Fire Prevention day—usually setting the date on October 9—the an niversary of the date of the famous O'Leary bovine Incident at Chicago. Accident Prevention day was pro claimed In a hundred cities and in a thousand industries. This year two great agencies, the National Fire Pro tection association and the National Safety council, have Joined forces, and Fire Prevention day will hereafter be known as Fire, and Accident Preven tion day, being inaugurated by na tional proclamation by President Wil son. More than a score of governors have Indicated their Intention of Joining in the movement through proclamations. Hundreds of chambers of commerce will take part and two thousand Indus tries will set aside some portion of their activity toward making the day a success. The spirit of co-operation In accident and fire prevention now pervades every department of public and private ac tivity. The national government through the department of labor and the bureau of mines, Is accomplishing a splendid work, and the hundreds of thouaands of dollars expended In edu cational work is probably the \ best known and appreciated of all our gov ernmental functions. Every state In the Union haa made a start and in a score or more the work Is well under way. A hundred or more municipali ties have well-developed departmenta of public safety, while street traffic regulations, clean-up campaigns and similar public responsibilities are now cheerfully accepted by even the smaller cltiea and villages. The spirit of the up-to-date employer was summarised by a hard-beaded Wis consin business man ft few days ago: "If the organization of our workmen Into safety inspection committees had not prevented a single accident the change In attitude which the aafety work has brought about on the part of the officera toward the men, and the change of attitude of the workmen toward the company haa more than re paid us for our efforts." By carefully safeguarding machinery, accidents were decreased one-third. "Who burns to death In the Ameri can homer* asks H. W. Forster, a prominent official of the National Fire Protection Association. "The hus bands, fathers and big brothers? Not often. The wives and mothers and the children, especially the little chil dren. In hundreds of homes all over our fair land each year there cornea the crushing sorrow of a dead mother or child, burned to death. In almost every case, because of the criminal disregard which we as a nation have for the most elemental principles of safety from fire. Each year we lose through this agency almost 1,000 of our most precious assets—our chil dren. "Fire causes 5,000 deaths, renders 20,000 people homeless, and causes a loss esUmated at almost $300,000,000 a year. Industrial accidents take toll of 25,000 lives each year and cause 700,000 injuries. Involving a loss of a month or more time from work." Two thirds of all fires and a like number of Industrial accidents are preventable. "One day for humanity" Is the motto of Fire and Accident Prevention day.

Collar bolls are often caused by Im proper adjustment of the fastenings of the trace chain on the hame. Every hame should have several places for adjustment and the regulation should be made to conform to the slope of the shoulders of the Individual horse. Horses with straight shoulders should have traces about midway of the hame, while horses with sloping shoulders should have the adjustment about two fifths of the way up from the bottom. Adjustment of the backhand will In a measure correct any weakness in the formation of the shoulder. The back band can be made not only to carry a part of the weight, thereby adjusting the dept of the plow, but it can be made to adjust the draft to fit the horse's shoulder. The adjustment can, be made either by shortening the back band or moving it farther back on the horse. The length of the trace should be such as to prevent the horse's legs knocking against the singletree and still have no surplus length. HORSES KNOWN AS 'ROARERS' Uncomplimentary Terms Used to In dicate Unsoundness In Animals —Trouble May Be Cured. (By C. N. KENNEDY. Oregon Experi ment Station.) Whistlers, wheezers, blowers or roarers. These uncomplimentary terms were not applied In anger, but merely used to Indicate the character of the unsoundness in horses, known as roaring. Their use may be avoided by saying that the horse it afflicted with laryngeal hemiplegia. Horses af fected with this disease appear nor mal while at rest, but when severely exercised the breathing efforts become much greater and the characteristic noises are heard. Ninety per cent of the cases are caused by partial paralysis of the muscles of the left side of, the neck. It may be cured In a great tnnjorlty of cases by an opera tion on the larynx. The operation is not dangerous if performed by a skill ful veterinarian. Most cases are ready to be put back to work In course of eight weeks. INHERIT FERTILITY IN SWINE Experiments of Kansas Experts Watched With Closest -Interest— Tamworth Most Fecund Breed. Can litters of 8 to 12 pigs per sow be Insured by any system of bonding? Possibly so, is the reply Indicated by the work of Wentworth and Ambel, Kansas Agricultural college. Their experiments In breeding will be watched with the closest interest. Highly Developed Tamworth. Fecundity appears to be Inheritable, at least to a slight degree. This fact Is borne out by herdbook records, al lowing for their errors. It is ques tionable whether the size of the litter really represents the hereditary fac tors transmitted. The wild hog usually averages four plga per litter, very fer tile sows of Improved breeds often av erage eight pigs, but the Tamworth, with an average of 12 pigs per sow, is the most fecund breed.

The short grasses, or such as usually* are termed pasture grasses, are essential to the well-be ing of the sheep. Cattle and horses will thrive and do well on hay grasses, on wet land grasses, tall grasses, but with the sheep it is different; they depend on the short-growth, dry-soil pasture grasses.

HAPPY IN SERVICE ' WHERE WOMAN REALLY FIND 6 HER HIOHEBT JOY.. ■ Ambition and Buccese, According to I Writer, May Give Peculiar Batla faction, but Not Always the Qreateat Happiness. Who la the happiest woman in the world? Is it the woman who has writ ten a successful book, or painted a great picture, or done some other note worthy thin#, to bring her into the public eye? No, far from it. Fame never yet made any human creature truly happy. On the contrary, It usually seeks to spoil his peace of mind; it Interrupts his private life and makes all sorts of Insolent demands on his time and thought. When you are famous you belong to the public, you cease to belong to the little private circle of those who love you. "Oh, for a quiet hour to sit down and read a book with my family," sighed a man who is famous on tv»*o continents. "But, no, I belong to the public, and the public does not give me time to live." Ask any woman who is doing what the world calls great things, and she will tell you, doubtless, that she is happy in having satisfied her desire to achieve some particular thing; but if her face glows and she cries Joyfully, "I am the happiest woman in the world I" you may come to one of two conclusions: either slip is very, very new at her accomplishment, the reac tion is yet to come, or else it is some more Intimate, more personal Joy than either her book or her picture that gives the real crown to her happiness. Ambition is a beautiful and neces sary thing; but it is not happiness, any more than a ten-mile tramp Is rest. And it never yet satisfied the heart that was made for Joy—as what woman's heart is not, even though her Joy gets half Its bliss from sorrow. Nay, the happiest woman in the world Is not she who is filling some lofty seat In the full glare of the pub lic eye. It may be right for that wom an to be there. It was not meant that all women should be happy to their fullest capacity. Doubtless she Is of great use there. But she is not the happiest woman in the world. The happiest woman in the world Is she who is contentedly serving those she loves. That Is the truth In a nutshell, and any honest woman who looks into her own heart with understanding eyes will confess It. | What Is life, anyway, but service? All of us find that out sooner or later. | And the woman whose privileged Is to minister to those she loves—whose ' place In the world Is to make life glad for those who love her—is the hap piest woman in It I It Is a privilege not given to all. I But let those to whom It is given— the sweet homemakers, the loved wives and mothers and sisters—awake to , their Joy while they yet have it, and sing all through the glad days, for theirs Is the happiest lot on earth.— Philadelphia Inquirer. j Improved Poorhousee for Wounded. ' A significant sign of the times is suggested in the allocation of certain poorhouses throughout the Dnlted Kingdom for the wounded soldiers. In Dickens' days the "Workus" was synonymous with a social pest It bred crime, disease, and hastened the death of thousands. In recent years the workhouse has arisen like palaces all over the country, with spacious grounds, walks, gardens, recreation rooms, and fitted with every modern facility for Insuring the prolongation and comfort of life. Now, they are being equipped as hospitals for the gallant British Tommy. Which fact demonstrates the splendid service that the old age pension act has been to the country. The war, of course, had given a temporary blow to poverty, | and made it Impossible for the casual ward professional to trade upon the lack of work and opportunity. The name of poorhouse will be expunged from the new hospitals. SIO,OOO Echo to Dog's Bark. That the bark of a dog may have a SIO,OOO echo was indicated in the su preme court of Brooklyn, when Rich ard Schoenewerg applied successfully for permission to amend the complaint In his suit against Henry Johnson, a neighbor, who had htm arrested six years ago in an effort to put a silencer on the dog. In December, 1910, Schoenewerg was acquitted and brought suit for SIO,COO damages. When the suit first Came up Johnson, I an English Instructor In the boys' high school, said the board of health had advised the arrest and moved for dis missal on the ground that the corn plalnfidld not state whether the action was for false arrest or malicious prose cution. The purpose of the new mo tion is to amend the complaint to specify malicious prosecution.

If you were to ask an average cigar smoker if he could smoke a cigar right through In steady, consecutive puffs without once taking it from his mouth, he would probably smile at the sim plicity of the feat.
