United States Has More Than
I 400,000 Miles of Hard Roads
t Slabs to Be Tested by Impact Machine—Government Teste to Improve
Plead Construction.
i f
(Prepared by the t’nlted States Department of Agriculture.)
Tlje mileage of surfaced roads In the United States Including sand-clay,
jfHivel, macadam as well as those which have been paved, is well over
^400,000 miles, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States
j * Department of Agriculture. At the close of the year 1021 the surfaced
^mileage was approximately 387,000 miles and 85*000 miles’ were constructed
jin 1022. II is believed that the 1923 construction will not fall short of the
[■previous year’s record and that by the end of the present year the surfaced
'mileage will be somewhere near 430,000 miles. This figure, It Is believed,
, makes due allowance for the fact that a portion of the 1022 and 1923 con
{'at ruction consists of the resurfacing of roads reported as surfaced 'at the
beginning of 1922.
In the following table the.total mileage Includes all public roads located

Average Yield of Honey
This Year Is Decreased
(Prepared by the United States Department
» of Agriculture.)
' The average yield of honey this year
above the food requirements of tlie
bees Is 30 pounds per colony of bees
(is compared with 54 pounds least year
and with 40 pounds the average for the
period 1013-21, the United States I Po
part men t of Agriculture reports. The
department reported earlier tn the year
'• 2 per cent decrease In numbers of
forking colonies last spring, as com
pared with the spring of 1922.
* Yields In Nejv York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Tennessee and North Caro
tins are equal to or higher than the
i 'Jtate averages for 1013-22, hut In most
-States the yield is less than average,
^fltods in Texas and in southern Cali
furnia were unusually low, the flow of
•HbCfar frorti sage and other desert
i plants in California being nearly n
s*omplete failure, and the honey crop
"from orange bloom being very short.
4 Comparatively little surplus honey
Maras produced this year In many sec
tions of the Ohio valley, the lower Mis
sissippi valley and In most of the cot
in the cotton belt consider
*ton belt.
Jable loss of bees Is reported to the de
partment due to poisoning of cotton
plants In combining the boll weevil.

Tuberculosis Infection
in Many Parts of Body
(Prepared by the United Statu Department
of Agriculture.)
A study of the obscure parts of the
body In which bovine tuberculosis Is
found shows that no Important organ
or portion of the body Is likely to rei
slst the Infection. The skin,' bones,
eye, heart, udder and other regions
where the disease Is seldom looked for
may be the seat of tuberculous Infec
tion.
According to the records of the bu
reau of animal Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture, lesions of
the disease have been found in 57 dif
ferent parts of bovine animal*. So
called obscure lesions have been re
sponsible In some cases for live stock
owners to doubt that cifttle which re
acted to a tuberculin test were actu
ally diseased.
The increasing knowledge of tuber
culosis and Its eradication, however,
according to Department of Agricul
ture veterinarians, shows that the dis
ease Is practically always present
when an animal reacts to the tubercu
lin test. But it Is difficult In some
cases to find the physical signs, owing
to the large masses of flesh and tissue
thn.t must be Examined to find the
proof. More frequently the disease 1*
plainly evident on the Inside of the
body wall, on the liver, In the lungs or
tlssues-that are visible at the time of
slaughter.
When Fattening Mules
Feed Similar to Cattle
Fattening mules Is somewhat differ
ent from fattening horses. When
mules are being fattened they are usu
ally turned loose and fed similar to
cattle. They are gotten onto full feed
anti feed is kept before them all the
time. A ration of one-fourth to one
third oats und from two-thirds to three
fourths corn and good clover or nlfalfa
buy. Toward the finishing period per
haps a little oil meal or molasses
mixed with this feed would give them
a better coat. A rmlle In order to do
well must be able to roll.
If you do not have clover or alfalfa
hay available, by nil means feed the
mules some oil meal.

She Powders
Her Nose.
A woman is queer, there’s no doubt '
about that.
She hates to be thin and she hates to
be fat:
One minute its laughter, the next it’s
a cry—
You can’t understand her however
you try,
But there’s one thing about he> which
every-one knows—
A woman’s not dressed ’till she pow
ders her nose.
You never can tell whtt a woman
will say;
She’s a law to herself every hour of
the day,
It keeps a man guessing to know
what to do
And mostly hrfs wrong when his
guessing is through;
But this you ^ can bet on wherever
she goes,
She’ll find sSfite ocasion to powder her
nose.
I’ve studied the sex for a number of
year?;
I’ve watched her in laughter and seen
her in tears;
On her ways and her whims I have
pondered a lot,
To find what will please her and just
what will not;
But all I’ve learned from the start to
the close
Is Ihut sooner or Inter she’ll powder
her nose.
At church, or a ball game, u dancet
or a show.
There’s ohe thing about her I know
that I know,
At weddings or funerals, dinners of
taste,
You can bet that her hand will dive
into her waist.
And every few minutes she’ll strike
up a pose,
And the whole world must wait till
fiJie powders her nose.

The “LookeT Oh” Writes
Of Surroundings.
Every once in a while, in the dead
of winter, comes .a day that belongs
to spring. We*ve had just such: days
an dthey make us think of gardens.
“Let us cultivate our garden,” said
Coltaire. And he might have added:
“Let us cultivate our houses too.” For
happiness, like charity, begins at
home. Happiness is not an expensive
commodity, dear bought, and far
fetched. It is to be found by your
own fireside, and among your own
flowers and. trees. How many peopel
there are who seek this true and inti
mate happiness in the midst of odious
surroundings. They are irritated by
their surroundings. There is no need
for one’s environment to be uncom
fortable and hideous.,Men have lived
and do live in invironments that are
beautiful and convenient. With the
expense of a little initial effort, a “lit
tle .perseverance, a little money, al
most everyone might live in such sur
roundings.
