MAINTENANCE OF DIRT ROAD
Is Now and WJII Continue to Ba Real
Highway Problem of Kansas-r
Management Is Lacking.
Earth road maintenance now Is and
will continue for some year* to be the
real road problem of Kansas, since It I*
not likely that more than a very small
per cent of the highways will be paved
In this generation.
"Practically all the work done on an
earth road," says W. S. Gearhart, pro
fessor of highway engineering In the
Kansas Btate Agricultural college, and
state highway engineer, "except reduc
tion of grades, correction of horisontal
alignment, building of drainage struc
tures, and elimination of railway grade
crossings, is temporary and should
properly be considered maintenance.
"Doing permanent work la a compar
atively easy matter, for when once It
BE
Good Road In Kansas.
Is done correctly It will last for a num
ber of years. The maintenance of an
earth road, however, Is a never-end
ing job. It Is like milking the cows
and doing other chores, for the builder
knows that the work of maintenance
will have to be done over and over
again and can never fed that It Is In
any sense permanent
"For this reason the earth road has
a bad reputation. The trouble 1* not
so much with the material of which
the road Is composed ss with our sys
tem or lack of system of management.
Other types of roads when treated as
we treat the earth roads are much
more expensive and serve the traveling
public little if any better. The vast
Improvement that can be made on our
present earth roads by intelligent di
rection In their construction and main
tenance Is little realized by the pub
lic, and the serviceability of a prop
erly maintained earth road Is not ap
preciated when compared with other
types of roads ss to cost of construe*
tion.
"Successful construction and main
tenance of any kind of a road depends
upon the recognition by the public and
the builders of a few fixed and funda
mental requirements.
"One practical, well-paid road build
er shonld be made responsible for the
upkeep of a certain section of road
and should be employed throughout
the year, his tenure of office being
made dependent entirely upon the
character of services rendered. The
graded portion of the road shonld be
elevated and crowned so that, the wa
ter from every section of the road
surface will flow Into the side ditches."
HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS
Substantial Reason* Why Farmer*
Should Get Together' and Sav*
Cost of Poor Highway*.
The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has mora to do
with the cost of llrlng, doubtless, than
you realize. Hare yon ever thought
that every product you sell and every
article you boy must be hauled over
the road; that your teams and vehicles
or your automobile must bear the
"wear and tear" caused by a rough
road to sell farm products or to bring
the necessities from the town?
The fact that your neighbor must
also pay the high cost of bad roads Is
all the better reason why you, he and
the rest of the neighborhood should
get together and Improve the road to
save some of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose In hauling
farm products over bad roads would
soon build a good road and glv* you
quick and satisfactory service.
How long can yon afford snch loaat
And when shall the road be Improved?

AVIATORS GIVEN HARD TEST'
Filar* In ths Service of France Must
Meaaure Up to ttrlotaat of
Requirements. ,
The acceptsnca as aviators In the I
French service of ao many sona of
wealth; American families proves that
these young men are far from- being
the "Hanseled fools and muddled oafs"
whom Kipling once railed against on
the other aide of the water. The phys
ical and mental, requirements' of the
French service, in the case of aviators,
are of the severest sort. They are
now tested not oaly for strength
and ordinary Intelligence, but ore re
quired to demonstrate the quickness
of their response to visual, audi
tory and tactnal Impression, their
"psychometric reactions;" that Is to,
say, they are required to prove that to
anything that la suddenly Been, or
heard, or felt, their minds react ac
curately within a space of time that
figures itself down to hundredths of- a
second. Without this quickness of per
ception and of action upon perception.
In addition to Iron court) Re and endur
ance, the war aviator Is of little use.
The apparatus of the French service
even tests the candidate's sang frold
by recording his heart-beats, his color,
his movement or absence of movement,
under the stress of a surprise pistol
shot fired at the back of his neck.
Then, supposing that his "psychometric
reactions" are all right, the man must
have good knowledge of the rules of
war, of geography, of meteorology,
and other things beside*. And finally
he must be willing to, subject himself,
as a corporal br a sergeant, to an army
discipline much severer than anything *
he has ever known before. It Is fair
to assume that the successful Ameri
can candidate for this service has
proved his possession of the real stuff
of manhood. ~
CARTOONISTS RISE TO FAME
Louis Raemekers Probably the Best
Known of Artists Who Tesoh
With the Fen.
Hidden sway In an obscure studio
In a London suburb, with a price upon
his head, (offered by Oermany) Louis
Raemekers has made the whole world
shudder with his cartoon* of the great
war. —.
A year and a half ago he was an un
known Dutch landscape artist. To
day he Is acclaimed the greatest fas
ter of pen and pencil of the age; he
has feeeu feted by royalty, sought by
Oermsa spies snd charged with endan
gering Dutch neutrality. By the usu
ally reserved and frequently skeptical
Englishman he Is frankly Idolized;
and all because he has pictured Ger
man "kulture" and Its dire effects.
His cartoons are now the rage of
the hour In New York, where an exhib
it of originals is being given for the
benefit of the French Red Cross.
Louis Raemekers was born In Hol
land of a Dutch father and a German
njother. When quite young he studied
painting and drawing In Holland and
Brussels, snd before the war began
he had established a local reputation
as a landscape and portrait painter.
Some years ago he married a Dutch
woman, and it la now said by those
who know him that he has no Inter
est outside his home, which include*
three rnddy children, except to go on
with hi* work. The strong religious
tendency which *o often characterize*
hi* work ha* brought forth the ques
tion of what church ttie artist attends.
His reply I* that he belongs to none,
but was brought up a Catholic and bis
wife a Protestant, and the differences
which In later life severed both from
their early teaching caused them to
meet on common ground.

SCHOOL IS 200 YEARS OLD
Mwnber of John Brown Raiding Party
Taught in Oonnootieut Initl- i
tutlon.
The controvert? orer the location of
the new achool building for the Long
Hill achool district, has brought to
light some Interesting history in con
nection with the building of the E««t
Long Hill district, which will be aban
doned as soon as the new bulling 1:
erected. It Is probable that this pres
ent building Is one of the oldest school
houses In the state still In use. Old
residents of the district claim that It
dates back nearly 200 years, and that
it is still used shows with what care
the building was erected. The build
ing Is located on a hill and is built of
stone, a rather unusual feature. It la
interesting to recall, In connection with
the school, that John E. Cooke, one of
the members of John Brown's raiding
party, and who was later hanged with
htm, once taught In thta school. He
was born In KUllngworth. snd as a
young man came to Hlddletown to
teach school. Later on, he went West
and became acquainted with the fa
moua liberator. Lyman M. Baldwin,
one of the well-known residents of the
district, says he has frequently 1 heard
his grandfather speak of attending the
old stone schoolhouse, and often relat
ed a prank which some of his boy com
psnlons played there one night. The
boys of the neighborhood had been In
the habit of gathering In the school
house at night to play cards, their only
light being the embers of the Are which
had been burning on the hearth during
We day. One night some of the moth
ers of the neighborhood surprised the
boys by suddenly appearing. Rather
than get caught the boys all Jumped
out of wlndowi, and then one of them
locked the door on the mothers. The
result was that the boys were all homo

WITH THE LOVED "AUTOCRAT"
Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes an in

His Writings.
His readers always talk of their "In- '

Holmes; they know what kind of per

They know that he loved rowing
and horses and great trees; that he
' was full of sentiment for his child
hood ; that he liked men to be strong
and sanguine, and honored the weak
ness of women; that he loathed all
gloom and unhealthlness; that charity
and tolerance were the virtues he
loved, and If one could combine them
with wit 14 was so much to-the good.
Above all, one must enjoy, life and
live to the ntmost of one's powers.

INOCULATION BENEFICIAL TO ALFALFA
HARVESTING ALFALFA ON MIBBI SBIPPI FARM.
(By P. G. HOI.nKN, Former Dean or
lowa Slate College.)
Inoculation never hurl*, Is generully
beneficial and often esseutlul to the
growing of alfalfa.
In regions where alfalfa turn not
been grown it Is frequenily found to
be very beneficial to Inoculate the
ground by sowing three or four hun
dred pounds of soli secured from n field
Vhere alfalfa turn been grown for u
number of years; or where It Is more
convenient, artificial cultures "such us
nitrogen, fannogerm, etc., may be up
plied.
Well Prepared Seed Bed.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed broadcast and harrowed In. The
seed can he more evenly distributed If
one-half Is sown In one direction and
the other half sown at right angles. It
Is alwuj'* a good plan to sow the seed
a little thicker around the edges of
the field, as this portion of the field Is
more subject to Injury from Insects,
foxtail, etc.
While It Is the custom In the humid
regions to sow 20 pounds of seed to
the acre, ten to twelve pounds Is suffi
cient. If evenly distributed this will
give from fifty to sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plunt to
the square foot Is sufficient.
A well-prepared, firm, solid seedbed,
plenty of good barnyard manure, and
summer fallow to kill the weeds, are
most Important. Then comes lime.
Inoculation and phosphorus ore fre
quently beneficial. Ground too wet
for corn Is not suited to alfalfa.
Cut st Proper Time.
When possible to do so 1t Is best to
cut alfalfa In the late afternoon or
evening. Dew or ruin on the freshly
cut ulfalfa will not Injure It. In the
morning Ilie i.diler should be started'
as soon lis most of the dew Is off ani
before there Is oily danger of knocking
off the leaves. It is often advisable to go
over It more than once. It should be
cut before It In In full bloom or as
soon as Ilie young sprouts or shoots
start to grow at the huse of the plunt.
When alfalfa Is left too long before
HOGS ARE GOOD MONEY CROP

Duo to the .recent boom In i«>rk pro

This IN accounted for by several fac
tors, the greatest doubtless being the
splendid work of the county agents In
securing a market for the NIIIHII breed

HI nee learning the prices to be ex

men who started out by shipping five
or ten hogs along with their neighbors'
shipments are now preparing to mliLt>
In carload lots, other factors In the
growth of the hog Industry are the pig
club work, and the failure of the cot
ton crop causing the farmer to raise
hogs as the next best cash crop.
To get the best results In hog raising
a rotation of pasture and forage crops
must he planted to furnish grazing the
year round, and It Is essential that a
good supply of feed be assured before
buying or breeding the hogs. The boar,
too, should be the best available, tills
point often being the factor that de
termines success or failure In j«irk
production. I'lg* sired by a good boar

bring a premium on the market. And

falfa brum* ua In actual reaults nearly
ua great returns as wheat bran, «c
can better realize the Importance of
taking rare of It. If any of ua had SOU
"haycocks nf bran" lu the fleld, we
would take care of them, but with al
falfa we think of It oa "Just liny."
Alfalfa liny la rather hard to cure,
hut It Is also true that It enn be placed
In the burn or In stacka much greener
than ony other kind of liuy. Twenty
pounda of salt sprinkled over each load
of hay will help to prevent heating
and udd to the palatahlllty of the hay.
Where alfulfa is used for paature,
care should be taken to avoid pastur
ing It too closely; It should not be paa
tured down closer than six Inches and
be sure to leave eight to twelve Incite*
for winter protection. Don't turn
stork on too early In the spring.
. Alfalfa on Evsry Farm,
ltiinemher that ulfalfa can b
growh on your farm. It la no mori
dllllciilt to grow than clover and 1»
morrf hardy when once established.
\f adapts Itself to ull kinds and con
dMlons of aoll and climate. Alfalfa
produces three ond sometimes four
crops per year In the corn belt.
1 Alfalfu Is the cheapest source of pro
tein. When wheat bran Is worth 123
uer ton, good alfulfn buy Is worth s2l
t\lper ton.
AUalfa la thu most enriching cro[
we have, ami Insures larger yield*
