Extra. vm annee of Bad BenOa. "I haven't a bit of doubt tbat Paul Morton will make a good secretary of the navy," said a Kansas City man to a representative of the Kansas City Star recently. "No. doubt be will bo of groat value to the government there, but If I had been president-try to Imagine It I would have used Mr. Morton for a new cabinet place. He would have been at the head of the department of roads not railroads, but county roads, highways. That's it; he'd be secretary of highways, and the purpose of fata department would be to build and maintain roadways fine, smooth highways from one -end of the country to the other. I was riding through Kansas with bain, one day when ho was second vice president of the Atchison, Topeka and Banta Fe railway. The train stopped at a tank, and we watched a farmer trying to make two one horses drag a wagon load of wheat through mud that came to the bubs. " There's a good example of it,' said Morton. That man has probably driv en five or six miles through soft roads to bring that wheat to market, and it la doubtful If he has considered the loss In time and money mud highways mean to him. The people seem to take bad roads as a matter of course. No man would thick of thrashing wheat f- with a nail nowadays, but Still they use seventeenth century roads-roads 200 years or more behind the rest of the farm equipment ."That farmer back there probably lives five miles from the shipping point and it costs him as much to haul a load of wheat to the mill as the railway company charges to haul It 200 miles to Kansas City. The time snd labor given to hauling that'load of wheat to market are a direct tax on the farmer and indirectly on the consumer. Good roads to market save money for farm ers as directly as do improved chines. " 'My idea is that labor organisations and the farmers by working together could bring results, and quick ones. The laboring man is interested on the other side as a consumer. Besides, tne worklngman's products are returned to the farmer, and there is another need less tax collected by bad roads. If I were a leader of organised labor. I would do what I could to have both of the great 'political parties declare for the use of convict labor in road balld lug and denounce the manufacture of shoes, agricultural implements, cooper age and so on by prisoners. Building of highways is a public service, and it seems to mo that it is the right direc tion la which to employ ablebodled peo ple maintained at public expense. " 1 am sure that tne raiiroaas wouia bo glad Indeed to carry stone and other raw material at a very low rate for road Improvement. Material could be prepared in the prisons, so keeping 4own : the number of i convicts who would have to be at work on the roaa proper. To railways appreciate wuai good roads mean to them. The first result would be a direct saving in time and money to the farmer, giving him a bettor chance to improve bis land. The mors the soil produces the better tor the railway in that territory. - The chief objection to farm wo w the lack Of society. The telephone Da overcame that to some extent, but any young fellow on the farm will tell yoa that a telephone conversation is a poor substitute for sn evening drlvo in a buggy. The men in the country nave the buggies and surreys- and horses, but they can be used only arxrai nan the time. Mud to the hubs I " 'A farmer on average country roe a in average weather, rain ana sum. writi two horses may haul two loads of sixty bushels of wheat each in a day to town, say five miles away. His time and team are worth ts a day at least- Be eafi got that mncn working a railroad.

On corn it wonkl eost htm $1. That's what yon might can heavy taxes, and most of the farmers are paying It every year without realising It "On a good macaoamisea ronu, aw out with respect to the topography of the country, the same team could aaaV ly haul twice as atoch as oa road.

Prore.lTo Wtahlisl.. Coantr Has Many Mil, of Slao Kaaas. About ten years ago the residents of Whatcom county, Wash., awakened to the fact that If they wished to advance and develop their resources they must have a better system of public high ways or wagon roads. During the ten years ending with 1903 Whatcom ooun ty bad expended on roads and bridges the sum of T0S,S82 and bad within the confines of the county 670 miles of wagon roads open to travel, as follows: One hundred and six miles of gravel road, 20 miles of plank road, 199 miles sf graded and ditched roads snd 270 miles of partly improved roads. During the past year the good work has been continued with renewed Tig' or, the result being the following road mileage: Graveled roads, 14 miles; plank roads, 17 miles; grubbed, graded and properly ditched roads, 220 miles, and partly improved roads, 232 miles, bringing the aggregate total up to 613 miles, giving an outlet to 1,300 farms. This system of roads includes the span ning of the Nooksack river and Its branches with thirteen well construct ed bridges. While the taxation for the construc tion and maintenance of this system has been a heavy burden for the people to bear, it has been more than offset by the cheaper means of transportation and increased value In lands, to say nothing of the closer relations enjoyed by the people and the pleasure afforded in driving over a smooth and perma nent all year round highway. To abow the difference In the cost of transportation now snd a few years ago attention Is called to the fact that in this county up to 1803 1,000 to 1,800 pounds was considered a good load for the average two horse team. Now the average load of heavy material is from 8.000 to 8,000 pounds. This in it self would soon pay for the Improve ment of roads, but is in a great meas ure overlooked. KEEP UP THE AGITATION. Thoa Ossoaed to Rand laasMraraaaaat Baud to Fall la Una. There are always certain people in every community opposed to each and every improvement inaugurated. It is not surprising, therefore, when a prop osition is made to Improve a road or street especially when much expense is Involved, that ths measure should meet with strong opposition. Tbe obstructionists belong to the class of persons that always wait for nra ooorxg boab, their neighbors to make tbe improve ments, thinking to profit by the ap preciation of their property and with out expense to themselves, says Good Roads Magaaine. Such people, it is true, are of not much real use to ths community, but tbe fact remains that they are there, snd it is evident they alone are tbe ones who are opposing tbe movement for improved roadways throughout tbe country It would seem with all that has been published and with the wide discus sion given the subject that all persons of intelligence would fully appreciate the great ad ran tags of having the means of quick and easy transporta tion for themselves snd tne proa acta of their labor. Bv giving. them, bow over, a taste of what a good road real ly is and by constant agitation of the question those wno are new vpyaoau to their own best interests will grad ually fall n Line for the improvements.

GERMANY'S BLACK LETTER, Cesannrlaon at Trsta Used In Print. Inar In the Fatherland. "It is remarkable that so practical a 'people as the Germans should continue to use their blind black latter," says Jerome Bart "The German text la ugly, snd when printed from small type on dingy paper with blgb speed presses, as is the case with most dally newspapers. It Is dltQcult to decipher. Ever since the duys of Cadmus alpha bets have been designed to convey Ideas, and those alphabets which transfer thought with the most quickness, clear ness and precision are the best Con sidered from these standpoints the Ger man alphabet Is one of the worst That it is a failure is shown unconsciously in many ways. Advertisers, for exam ple, hsve no sentiment about them. They want to reach the reader and reach him quickly. Therefore nearly all the display advertisements In Ger man newspapers are printed in Latin characters. "So, too, with the commercial and financial pages. Stockbrokers and mer chants have no time to waste in de ciphering badly printed German text Therefore the commercial page In the German dallies Is now nearly always set up In Roman type. Circus adver tisements, theater placards and adver tising posters generally, the names of streets on the corner signs, the letter ing on cars and omnibuses, even tern porary signs, such as "No Thorough fare' or 'Street Closed,' yon nearly al ways see In Latin characters. "Another proof of the inferiority of too German text Is the fact that nearly all Gorman scientific works are printed In Bomsn. This has been the case for yean, but It has had little effect on the printing of books of a general na ture. Bismarck did much to retard this needed Improvement for be clung stub bornly to the German text and fre quently sent back books which were printed In Roman, refusing to read them."

Freeh s-rnJt, "Gold In tbe morning, silver st noon and lead at night" Is alwaya used with reference to fruit Most people think It means that the explanation of the prov erb Is that digestion Is strongest In the morning snd weakens aa the day goes on. But you will note that tbe proverb refers to fruit alone. If It bas to do with the digestive power only It should be applied to all foods. Tbe real expla nation Is very different It is that fruit freshly gathered ts fitted for eating and lessens In value as tbe hours pass. That Is true not of fruit only, bqt of all veg etables.

A Maryland correspondent of Rural New Yorker complains: "I bve an ok) pasture where sheep have run many years. Each summer I lose several lambs, I am told the trouble Is intes tinal worms that breed in such pas tures. If this is so is there any reme dy?" E. Van Atetyne replies ss fol lows: This is a question that Is continually coming up. Undoubtedly tbe trouble is Intestinal worms, from which cause .believe more sheep die each year than from dogs Tbe trouble Is with too old sheep, not with the old pastures. Tho same trouble may and does occur to pastures where sheep have not previ ously been kept Tbe "remedy" Is to prevent too worms getting Into thia pasture aad so to bo picked up by tbe lambs by treating the old sbeep. Tho worms are In their last stomach and can be killed By the fumes of gasoline. To tola end, as soon aa the lambs are dropped gtvo each ewe in the flock a tablespooofol of gasoline, with two teblespoonfnla ot milk.' DO not dilute tt any more, aa tt Is the vapor, not tho gasoline Itself, that kills the worms. Repeat tho dose the next, day, being; careful to giro It on an empty stomach, say twelve hoars after the sboep are fed. It will be wise again to do this after an Interval of two weeks. There will then be no eggs to hatch In the pastures, - . I do not think a lamb has over bees bora with intestinal worms.

The Cast af Haallaug Oroatly Bodna. ad by Thai Use. Wide tires should be used on aU heavy vehicles which traverse stone roads, says tbe Kansas City Star. A six or seven inch macadam road will last longer when wide tires are used than a ton or twelve Inch road of tbe same material oa which narrow tires are used. From the limestone quarries at Split Bock to the works of tho reducing company in Goddes, Onondaga county. N. I, Is about four and one-half miles. Three or four years ago the work of improving this four and one-half miles sf roadway was accomplished. Rough quarry refuse snd for a part of tho distance field stones were need, an band broken to two and three inch siies, This waa covered with floe, un sifted quarry chips, and a crown waa given to the roadway with an elevation of about sHt Inches In a width of six teen feet Wagon were built for haul ing stone over this road with wide tires snd sxlea of different length, as follows: Front tire, seven-eighths of on hub thick and four inches wide; diav tsnce between centers of front wheels, four feet Ave Inches; tho rear wheels had tiros one meh thick snd six baches wide, the distance between center of rear wheels being five feet eight laches. Tho axiea were two and snebslf tochoa front and three inches rear. - The constant one of these wagons during tbe last three years has prod ne ed a smooth, compact aad regular assr- faeo between too quarry and . 1 works. The wide tires aad varying gauges excited much attention at arse. snd eon Biding opinions regarding their utility were expressed. Tho result Is eminently In their favor, aad a general sentiment supports the awe of tlx wsgono for heavy toads. Loada of stone varying from &0OO to 1&0Q0 pounds are coo tin boos ry hauled ovor this road with no perceptible wear.

The Color of Percherons ' Writing in the Breeder's Gazette, Isaiah Dillon of Illinois bas tbe follow ing to say concerning tho color of the Percberon horse: The color of this breed (Percberon) as bred today is either gray or black. me importers of this breed are the on ly men who make a specialty of import ing Diacks and grays. . Tbe history and tbe studbooks will bear me out that formerly tbe univer sal color of these famous horses was gray. We have no account to tbe his tory of tbe French draft horses or in sny of tbe studbooks where any breed ing Is given of a sing; animal pos sessing any other color than gray un til as late as 193. at which time French Monarch, a black, was bom. In 1867 Brilliant OTAi, tbe second black horse, was born. Both were the prod uct of gray sires snd gray dams whose ancestors were universally grays so far ss tbe records show, It Is very natural to strppme that tbe gray animal wboae ancestors were orig inally end universally gray would most certainly reproduce their own cot- s. Tho black stallion, tbe prodoct of breed that waa so recently an gray. cannot reproduce bis own color no cer tainly as can tbe gray. Some aray stal lions yen, very many seldom or new er east anything bat gray coins even frees mans af tho varioos cotes. So mncfa cannot be said ott&e blacks. In the effort to change the color of the French draft horse frees gray ta Mack there baa been a great saerrflee af ettal Ity for color. If the same effort havt been made to improve tho dark gray color aoarb mora weald hare hem gained.
