Wilson Visit Girlhood Home Of His
Mother.
Carlisle, Eng., Dec. 28—This
bustling railway center was busy
today preparing to welcome Presi
dent Wilson when ho conies to
visit tlie girlhood home here of
liis mother, lie will also visit the
home known as the Cavendish
place which his f.ither liuilt and
will bo shown tho room which his
mother occupied.
The Kev. Edward Booth, pagtor
of the Lowther Street Congrega
tional church, received a message
from London this afternoon stat
ing that the President would at
tend service Sunday.
Tho Cavendish house at 83
Warwick road is two stories high.
It stands behind far holly bushes
and is now owned by Edgar Sayer,
a banker, who lives there with
his family.
Mr. Sayer bought the house
because it was the only oue ob
tainable in tho ci-ty. He had i,o
idea, he said today, that it wasot
historic interest. The room where
President Wilson's grandfather
con lucted school is now used as a
dining room.
GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAQ
Implement Should Be Used Properly at
Right Time—Repair AM Ruta and
Depression*.
After two d%ys of rain, says a writer
In Hoard's Dairyman, we took an
eight-mile drive out Into the country
to buy some pigs. One piece of road
was like a city boulevard, only better.
Despite Its being only a gravel road
there was little mud or water, and one
would have thought that there bad
been only rain enough to settle the
dust Instead of the big rainstorm. We
Inquired and found that two neighbor*
had made It a practice to alternate In
going over this road with a road drag
ufter every rain. Just beyond, we came
»o a piece of road muddy, slippery and
full of chuck holes that sent us up a
mile for every mile covered.
The only difference between these
two pieces of road was a road drag
and an hour's time spent when field
work could not be done. We estimate
that it toolfc twice as much gasoline to
cover the nndragged road. Multiply
our experience by the dozens of teams
and autos going over this muddy road,
and then compute the expense of fail
ure to use the road drag that was
doubtless rotting away In aome fence
corner.
We do not now have In mind the de
mand* of the good roads extremist, but
are considering what may be done and
what should be done with the common
dirt road. It does more harm than
good, as a general rule, to plow up the
sod on Uie sides of the traveled track
and pile It up In big lumps In the cen
ter of the track, leaving them there to
be broken up by passing vehicles, and
the loosened dirt washed away by the
rain or blown away by the wind. Keep
all the sod, grata roots and other
trash out of the road bed. It merely
lecays and makes ready for a splendid
hole to form.
Whatever Is worth doing at all la
worth doing well. No part of a re
paired highway should be left until Ita
lurface has been thoroughly and even
ly compacted and shaped to let all the
water run off. And when, at will moat
ulwnys happen, ruts and depressions
■rake their appearance, they abould be
smoothed down, filled, and well com
pacted so that water may not remain
lr. them to soften the ground and per
mit further damage by the traffic.
When using the road drag, use II
properly at the right time. Don't go
out when the road Is too wet or too
dry. Take It when the mud will make
a good mortar and will paddle down
like the little girl's mud cake* or the
mason's mortar.

SOIL PREPARED FOR APPLES
Turn at Deeply aa Possible With Two-
Horse Turnor and Follow up With
aufcseller
(Bf C. V. NIVEN. CUtneon A«rlrultur»l
Co lies* )
lief ore planting the young apple
trees the soli should be well prepared
by turning aa deep as possible with a
two-horse turner. Follow this with a
subsoller. Immediately after the soli
has been turned It should be thorough
ly harrowed, which can bent be don#
by double cutting with a cutaway har
row.' Failure to prepare the soli well
greatly reduces tha future value c* the
tree. It Is a serious mistake simply
to dig a small hole In hard soil, place
tbe tree In It and leave It standing.
The roota cannot penetrate this hard
soil. The young tree cannot receive
the proper nourishment. The result Is
that a very weak tree Is produced and
In many Instances such trees fall to
live more than a year or two. Under
such conditions the farmer la sure to
meet with discouragement. One of the
great secret* of success Is to prepare
thoroughly to begin with.
To the irresponsible optimist
the wotld appears like a huge
orchard wherein every one is in
vited to pick the fruits of peace.

LOSSES IN LOADING GRAPES
Container* Should Be Strong and
Packed End to End—Climax
Basket* Recommended.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
"Extensive Investigations conducted
by the United States department of
agjlculture show that fhe crushing of
grapes In n car In transit Is governed
by the type and strength of tile pack
age, the manner nnd care used In load
ing, tho height of the load, the con
struction of the car nnd the handling
It receives from the railroad. Twelve
quart Climax baskets and trays are
recommended because tliey properly
protect the fruit; they are not too
costly; they are suitable, attractive
and available for most markets.
When Climax baskets are used for
loading grapes they should be well
made, of good wood, with veneer cut
17 to the Inch ns n maximum thickness
for the 12-quart slxe, and 20 to the Inch
for 4 and 2-quart slr.es. Wooden
handles permit a llrmur loud than wire
handles as I hey strengthen the bnskets
and serve as braces In the load.
Experience demonstrates that the
best results occur when Climax bas
kets of 12-quart size are loaded 7 high,
the 4-|uart size 12 high, and the 2-
quart size 15 high. All other packages
should be loaded to the height of not
less than 48 Inches or more than 00
Inehes from the bottom of the llrst
layer.
liushel baskets, hampers andnilscel-
Inneous boxes are not satisfactory
packages for grapes as they cannot bo
loaded safely with economy.. All types
of grape packages carry best when
loaded according lo the "straight sys
tem," that Is. with all packages end lo
end, extending from one Ice bunker
to tho other. In every other layer of
Climax baskets, It Is necessary to load
Delicious Grapes.
those thut touch the bulkhead cross
wise In the car In order to (111 lu the
otherwise vacant spaces, hut this
should not be permitted anywhere flse
in the load. All slack should be taken
out as the baskets are being loaded,
using racks to All out at the end of the
car when there Is surplus space. Every
fraction of an Inch of surplus space
from side to side of the car should be
tightly filled In by loading the last row
diagonally.

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Every Farmer Mutt Do His Part In
Keeping Highways Dragged—
Work la Appreciated.
The secret of jcood roads is for every
farmer to do tils part In keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman Coun
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewidlen writes further: "Road drag
ging fits In about the best of any work
on the farm, for a fellow can drag
for a few hours when It Is too wet to
get Into the field, and he certainly ap
preciates having It when It Is time to
go to town Willi the wagon or the unto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
hifve the thanks of all other farmers In
the country and the praise of all vis
itors. Rut tho roll of honor should be
Increased.
"It seema queer that so easily con
structed an Implement as a road drag
can create audi wonders on heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch of
road. If you have already dragged
It every farmer who has gone over it
Is' talking about It and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on a couple
of miles farther."
OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rather Dubioue on Account of Short
age of Labor—Decided Reform*
Should Be Made.
Willi the shortage of labor for road
making and the more general use of
the roads for heavy hauling. It Is like
ly that the roads as they exist will not
If able to withstand the hard usage,
and the outlook Is dubious for the au
tomobile. Many Industrial companies
are making use of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods. Instead of subject
■ Ing themselves to the uncertainties of
i the railroad service and the wear and
■ tear on the rouds thus made use of U
i more than they can take care of. Tils,
, n.ore than ever, makes it evident that
'• there should be some very decided rc
r forms made In the matter of road
' building. The tnnkeshlft repairs which
> have heretofore been made are not
i now aufllclent, and all new road-bulld-
Ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.
