Mark Twain once described a palm as "Nature's Imitation of an umbrella that has been out to see what a cy clone Is like, and Is trying not to look disappointed." Hut It. P. Chaddock of Henton Harbor, Mich., In a delightfully Interesting and informative brochure which he has published for private distribution, entitled "Panama and the Canal Zone," nnd which Is compiled from n series of "Vacation Letters" written by him when on nn extended visit there, says ho Is sure Twain's de scription Is a gross libel on the magni ficent palm trees of Panama. Mr. Chad dock writes: "There are scores of palms, some of them dwarfed and squat, others towering toward the bluo sky befpro the frond bursts Into the gorgeous plume of the royal palm.

BUILDING ROADS SAVED FRANCE TWICE Had It Not Ben for Radiating System Germans Would Have Crossed Marne and Reached Paris. Good roads haw twice saved Franco In the present war, observes Farm nnd Fireside. Had it not been for the radi ating roud system maintained by the French government, the Germans would have won the battle of tho Marne and reached Paris. Tho Ger mans had calculated on only three di visions being sent out from Paris to stop the Invasion. Instead, tho excel lent system of highways made it pos sible for five divisions to be sent to 'is . f VIP sSfy Repairing Highway In France. this front. Again, shortly after tho battle of Verdun started, the French railroad which was to furnish many of the supplies to the troops was de stroyed. The French government, how ever, had a macadam road 32 feet wldo on which four lines of traffic, two In either direction, were maintained. Day nnd night 14,000 motortrucks carried men and equipment. The traffic never stopped. When a hole was made In. the road, a man with n shovelful of rock slipped In between the lines of trucks nnd threw the rock Into the hole, then Jumped aside to let the truck roll the rock down. Then nn other funn would follow his example, and so on until the hole was filled. Trucks that broke down were shoved aside and repaired almost Instantly. Had the French depended on their rail road or on poor hlghwnys the Germans would have won the battle. There are few places in which good roads will win great military victories But there nre mnny places in which they will win great victories in time of pence. Whenever a crisis military, economic or social occurs In tho Hfo of a community, the condition of the rond is a significant factor In deter mining whether the community will go lip or down, forward or backward. Tho community with good roads is the com munity that will deliver the goods when the necessity .comes. FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS Under Terms of Act Secretary of Agri culture May Deal With State Highway Department. Much misunderstanding seems to prevail as to the means by which fed eral aid In rond building under the federal aid rond act of 1010 may bo obtolned, snys'a recent publication of the United States department of agri culture. "Many county officials nnd private citizens," says the publication, "sub mit to tho department of ngrlculttire inquiries or applications looking to tho obtaining of federal aid for a local high way. To these Inquiries und applica tions the answer is invariably made that under the terms of tho federal act Itself the secretary of agriculture may deal only with the state highway department of roads. Responsibility for repair of roads upon which fed eral aid Is to be expended rests with the stute highway department" ARMY TRUCKS INJURE ROADS Enormous Cars Do Almost Irreparable Damage to Highways, Improved or Unimproved.

WIS RATIONS FOR DAIRY CATTLE Corn Stover Should Form Ono of Main Sources of Roughage for Cowo and Young Stock. 0?reparcd by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture) Whllo corn stover nnd straw from the vnrlous cereals aro not adapted for producing tho Inrgcst How of milk, they may bo fed to dairy cattle. Tho amount to use of theso materials will depend, of course, upon tho supply at hand on tho farm. When nn nbundunco of corn stover Is available It should form ono of tho main sources ot dry roughago for dry cows, young stock, nnd cows In milk. To uao stover eco nomically it should bo cut or shredded, for then It will bo etfton raoro com pletely nnd thcro will bo less waste. Corn stover may bo fed to milking cows without limit, when they reccivo In addition grain, silage, and some leguminous hay. Under these condi tions tho ordinary cow will cat n largo part of from 0 to 8 pounds of stover dally. For dry cows and young stock tho proportion can bo greatly In creased, caro being taken to bo sure that there Is plenty of protein In tho ration. In certain Instances corn stov er has been cut nnd put Into tho silo with the addition of plenty of water, and the resulting silage Is of fair qual ity. If a'sllo is available, empty or partly so, corn fodder wijlch has been well shocked and Is not severely weathered may bo ensiled to advan tage. Put up In this form it Is more convenient for feeding In the bnrn, nnd cows will consumo more of It than If fed dry. Oat, barley, nnd wheat straw can form a considerable portion of the dry rougltnge for nil classes of dairy cattle. . Straw Is used In much the samo proportions ns corn stover, nnd a sprinkling of thin molasses has been found to increase greatly the palatu blllty, causing tho cows to consume inrge quantities of tho straw. When feeding barley straw It Is advisable to examine tho mouths of tho cattle oc casionally, as tho beards of the bar ley when very dry and stiff sometimes cause painful irritations. Ryo straw cannot be recommended for dairy cat tle, because of danger from ergot and on account of the very tough nnd fib rous nnturo of tho straw. Buckwheat straw has n very low feeding valuo nnd should be used when other rough ages aro not obtainable, but In no enso should any strnw bo wasted.

A dairyman should report any con tnglous diseases among the workers on lily farm to tho henlth authorities und In this way assist In the control of tho discuses promptly. Only healthy men should bo permitted to work with tho cows nnd handle the milk, as thero Is gicat danger of transmitting diseases to customers If necessary precautions aro not considered.
