How It Is Done.
A man, engaged In buying n necktlo
for himself, turned the pile over and
over nnd at last put aside two as not
worthy of further consideration. The
salesman placed the rejected ties In
ta separate box. Tho man asked wheth
er they had been placed by mistake
with those ho had been examining.
"Oil, no," was the polite response;
"but we have orders vhen Ave or bIx
men turn down a tlo to take It out
.and put it aside.'1
"What becomes of them?"
"We sell them to women who come
In hero to buy ties for men."

ROAD BUILDING A BAROMETER
Prospective Buyers of Real Estate
First Want to Know If Roads
Are Being Built.
In a real estate ofllco tho other day
a mnn from the corn belt wns listening
to tho agent describe tho lands on his
list lie asked about soil, crops, mar
tlets nnd then faced tho agent squarely.
"What I want to know most about
right now," suld he, "Is your ronds.
If you aro building roads your coun
try Is nil right. If you aro not, I will
look n llttlo further along."
As but ono township In tho county
had worked up nervo enough to pass
a 00,000 bond Issue, ho Jookcd "a lit
tle further along."
The would-bo buyer Is not tho only
man who watches road building ns a
sort of barometer indicating what a
section is going to do, says an Okla
homa writer in Farm Progress. Tho
bond buyer has his cyo on such com
munities. Ho knows that they aro
going to get somewhere, for the plain
reason that they are willing to pay for
progress. Ho regards tho road situa
tion as moro significant than farm club
organizations or tho number of farm
ers' institutes. lie may consider that
talk is cheap, but good ronds indicate
a willingness to spend money in order
to get moro money.
Itoad bonds nro counted as n good
Investment because tho township 01
the county upon'which they havo been
voted is going to bo a better and more
productive region. Tho section is go
ing to develop, it is going to bo worth
and produce moro and get to bo worth
moro every year. That makes a good
ind a safe investment.
Ycnrs ago the department of agricul
ture watched tho results on land
values of the building of good roads
through some of the eastern states?
particularly in Virginia. Soma of theso
lands had been "worn out," it was
thought, la the production of tobacco.
Good roads, not makeshift dirt af
fairs, wero laid down and in a couplo
of years land prices climbed right up
tho ladder. They wero In touch with
the world, with tho towns nnd with
the markets 12 months in tho year,
and , the buyers appreciated this and
wero willing to show their apprecla
tlon in cold, round dollars.
That the owners, -some of whom had
fought the roads bitterly, had a lively
appreciation of the same thing, wns
shown by tho quickness with which
they raised their prices per aero and
tho firmness with which they turned
down all lower offers. Tho roads
showed them and they were quick of
understanding.
Up in Iowa the "unearned incre
ment" has inado a lot of farmers
mighty nearly rich. "Unenrned incre
ment" is a way of 'describing what
happens when n mnn buys land cheap
ly and an increasing population makes
It worth more. It is something thnt
happens sooner or later In every com
munity that Is built up out of the wil
derness, in every town that starts to
grow and keeps growing.
Good ronds help to ripen tills "un
earned increment" about us fast ns
anything cun. Of course, n man who
pays so many cents per aero over a
term of years in order to meet the
Interest nnd tho principal on road
bonds Is helping somewhat toward
earning this "increment," but ho is
getting by far tho better end of tho
deal. At tho most ho Is not going to
pay out very much money, nnd when
land begins to climb up by $5 nn aero
leaps he certainly can cash in if ho
cares to.
But ho won't caro to turn this In
crease of value into money if ho knows
the ways of wisdom. lie will live by
tho side of tho road, filled with a
sense of satisfaction that his cstato has
been increased in value nnd that tho
good, hard highway is going to make
it easier for him to be u better farmer
nnd to make moro money.
The passage of n good roads bond
Issue Is a forecast of what-n com
munity Is going to bo ten years hence,
$5,000,000 FOR GOOD ROADS
First Federal Aid Money Now Being
Distributed by Authorities In
Washington.
Following tho enactment of tho fed
eral good roads bill last Spring, tho
work of apportioning nnd awarding to
Uie different states tho first $5,000,000
to bo distributed this year Is now pro
ceeding at the department of agricul
ture. There Is an evident disposition
on tho part of tho stato highway com
missioners to havo this money expend
ed upon tho main lntcrstato roads.

InW
That the Ono-Picce Frock Has Attracted Popularity Is Evident-
Has Been Well Named the "Dressmakers' Dress" With
Proper Accessories It Is Appropriate for Any Occasion
Bags of Every Form and Material Are in Order.
The onc-plccc frock gains steadily In
Importnnco and threatens to displace
the formal tailored suit In fiishlouuhlo
wardrobes. This Is the dny of tho
dressmakers' dress, nnd every estab
lishment of nuthorlty Is designing mod
els for morning as well as nfternoon
wear. Perhaps all tho tailors who de

dress has bedome the vogue.
In climates that permit, It is worn
with fur neckpiece nnd muff for the

n separato coat, long and warm, covers
tho one-piece frock.
An afternoon gown of exceptional
beauty nnd elegnuce Is shown here. It
Is n combination of chiffon velvet,
georgette crepe, and sntln. Tho skirt
has an ovcrdrape and Is set on to n
deep plaited yoko of tho crepe. A

appears ugaln ucross the crepo bodice,
and It Is the touch of distinction which
places this gown in tho front rank of
things fashionable. It Is done with
heavy silk thread In long stitches, iind
Is llko tho gown In color.
A frock of this kind, worn with n

POULTRY RELISH SOUR MILK
Experiments Have Demonstrated That
Itjs Valuable Article In Ration
of Chickens.
Sour milk should not bo loft out of
tho feed of growing or laying fowls,
winter or summer, If It can bo secured
at any rcnsonablo cost. It is usually
much cheaper and easier to get on tho
farm than beet scrap or any other sub
stitute nnd no common substitute ex
cept buttermilk will give as good re
sults. Sour milk for egg-production was
given n very careful test for a year
recently when threo 25-blrd pens of
Whlto Leghorn pullets wero fed In nl
most exactly tho samo way except that
ono pen received sour milk, another
beef scrap, and tho third no meat or
animal food whatever. From tho sour
milk ben tho station got !l,27fi eggs nt
u profit of $28.20; from tho beef scrap
pen, 2.G08 at n profit of $10.78; and
from tho no-meat pen, J,:i73 eggs nt a
loss of $1 on tho pen for the year.
On many farms tho no-incnt pen
would not havo been regarded as los
ing money becnuso the chickens Uvo
mlilnly on waste grain about tho barn
lot but on these farms tho profits
would be so inuch grentcr If butter
milk or sour milk could bo fed that'll
lurgo possible profit is being lost If tho
chickens get only tho grain and grass

soma liquid to mnko n wet mash which
ivas fed at tho rate of a handful for
svery four birds.
At night, scratch feed was given
igaln nnd the birds wero given all they
ivould cat to send them to roost with
full crops. This method of feeding
keeps tho hens busy nil day, gives
them good appetites, and supplies all
the feed they will use. They should
eat nbout twlco as much grain or
icratch feed as mash.
SEND COCKERELS TO MARKET
Only Comparatively Small Per Cent
Will Bo Fit to Retain for Breed
ers Fatten Others.
Tho cockerels should bo closely
culled now, as no' matter how good
tho stock, only a comparatively small
per cent will bo lit to rctnln as breed
ers, but do not put tho surplus on
the market without first putting them
In good condition.
Tho best method would bo to crato
feed them, but at any rate they should
rccclvo special feeding in close con
finement for two or threo weeks nnd
then offered to a special trado at nn
advanced price. Better still, If thoy
