;G00D ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer
Chance to Reach Markets Bad
Roads Decrease Efficiency.
The railways and Intcrurbans linvo
nnd are having much to do with tho
development of this state. Tho evl
jdencc of their splendid work Is seen
(on every baud. They have contributed
to tho building of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
mado It possible for great Industrial
ventures to succeed. But they, while
working wonders for the common
wealth, canuot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the Isolated man, which the
railway but Incidentally touches, and
It menus to this man or the community
In which he Uvea whether tho highway
is of such a nature as to euublo him
to carry on his relations at tho least
expense nnd comfort. If tho roads uro
bad ho Is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value of his prod
ucts which must be hauled to market,
jbut he pays tribute In the wear and
tear of his harness, vehicles and In
jury to nnlmals. Ills Inability to reach
churches and Bchools easily reduces
his ability to make the most useful
citizen. -
If he has good roads he reverses
tills and stands out with greater pos
sibilities along all lines of endeavor

GOOD-ROADS FEVER IN SOUTH

It Is a gratifying thlug to note how
tho good-roads fever Is taking hold
nearly everywhere In tho South. Hard

road-building is by no means tho big

In a great deal of the sandy Coastnl

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed Tight Use Split
Log Drag After Rains.
(By VT. C. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
When dry weather conies the dust
from tho road becomes a great nui
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
havo to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount of dust that seeps In. Tho
most effective way of reducjng the
dust nuisance is the use of u split-log
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely fr6m tho
grinding up of the turned-up edges of
ruts made by wheels and horses' hoofs.
These cannot form unless water can
stand on the roadbed nnd water can
not stand on the roadbed If It is kept
well crowned nnd well packed ns It
will be If the road drag Is used regu
larly. Dragging the roads will mean
n good deal to the housewife, as well
as to travelers and those who have to
haul to and from the market.
GOOD CURE FOR SCALY LEGS
Good Plan to Anoint Legs of Young

Lard and kerosene Is nn excellent

so tho weights will not get tangled

Fruit Growers and Gardeners See No
Profit in Using Copper Sulphate
Use Lime-Sulphur.
Tho cost of copper sulphate Is so
high this season that many fruit grow
ers nnd gardeners cannot see any profit
In using it as a spray material, at the
same time realizing the danger of not
spraying at all. It has been found that
a solution of lime-sulphur solution,
diluted to 1 to 40 Is fully ns effective
ns bordeaux mixture, and In many or
chards It has given even better results
thnn the bordeaux. Many apple grow
ers will use the summer spray of lline
sulphur this year wjio have never used
It before.
CROPS REQUIRE RICH SOILS
Greatest Value of Sweet Clover Will
Be Found In Its Use as Green
Manuring Plant.
It may not bo ndvlsnhle to grow
sweet clover on land that will produco
good crops of rod clover and alfalfa
These crops require rich, woll-fertl
llzed soil; but sweet clover will grow
on the poor soils. It Is a poor-land
crop, nnd probably Its greatest value
will be found In Its use ns a green
manuring crop. It will enable the
farmer to fill his unproductive soils
with humus nnd bring the land to a
condition tlint will enable the crop to
utilize the fertility it contains.
BIG VALUE OF FARM MANURE
Mot Fully Appreciated Until High
Prices of Potash and Acid Phos
phate Woke Up Farmer.
Tho high prices of potash and acid
phosphate at this time are causing
much concern among farmers who de
pend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply these constituents for the suc
cessful production of their crops.
If the farmers of this country huA
always fully appreciated tba nie
value of farm manure, and used It on
their land, tho prefont elttttUlon would
he much less acute.
TURNING HORSES ON ALFALFA
Plant Contains Relatively Largi Per
centage of Bone and Musck-
Making Elements.
To obtain the best results from pas
turing work horses on alfalfa, they
should be turned out every night.
Turning out? ono night and keeping In
the next Is bound to derange the di
gestive tract quicker than pasture
every night. Tho alfalfa plant con
tains n relatively largo percentage of
hone and muscle-making elements, aud
hence its vnlue for young stock, either
ua a grass or cured hay.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO AID
Experimental Post Roads of Different
Types Now Under Construction
In Many States.
Four hundred nnd slxty-flvc miles of
experimental post ronds of different
types, benefiting 28 different coun
ties, are now under construction
In 13 states, which are co-operating
with tho federal government. Thcso
roads, which are being built under the
supervision of the department of ag
riculture, nre authorized by the act
of congress which appropriated $500,
000 for tho post ofllce department for
experiments to test out tho value of
Improved rural carrier routes. Tho
federal government pays one-third and
tho state or county benefited must de
fray two-thirds of the cost. As rapid
ly as thcso roads arc constructed the
department Is endeavoring to Interest
tho local authorities In Inaugurating
systematic maintenance to keep these
roads In condition. The Virginia au
thorities agreed to maintain the new
ronds built In that state, and It Is be
lieved that this local maintenance sys
tem will bo extended to the post roads
to bo built In Mnlne, Tennessee, Texas
aud Alabamn.
CARE FOR HARNESS PROPERLY
Most Farmers Give This Part ot
Equipment Scant Attention Dur
ing the Busy Months.
Whllo it Is generally conceded to
be the best plan to care for the bar
ness properly throughout tho entire
year, most farmers give this part of
their farm equipment scant attention
during tho busy months. As long as
the harness holds together nnd will
give service, the work-harness is
thrown on to the horses' backs day
after day, and no more thought is
given it. However, when the busy
days are over, there is no excuse for
not giving the harness n little special
attention. It Is a good plan to wash
tho dirt and grensc from tho straps
at least onco n yenr, and then glvo
them a good oiling nnd working until
the leather Is soft and pllnblc. Buckles
should bo oiled so they can be handled
easily.
