CONCRETE CULVERT IS BEST
Flat-Top Style Being Built In Kansas
Is Shown in Illustration—Good
Roads Save Money.
Had we begun not more than fif
teen years ago to build concrete cul
verts and bridges in this township,
and continued at the rate we have
been building them the last three
years, we would now have no place to
put another one. Besides our expenses
would not have been much more than
they have been in building the wooden
ones, writes J. T. King, trustee of Lin
coln township, I.ebo, Kan., in Farmers’
Mail and Breeze. We began with the
full-arch style of concrete culverts.
That was before we knew the good of
the flat-top kind. We now use the full
arch only where there are high banks
on both sides, so we can grade up to
the top of the arch and make the
road level. For all other places we
prefer the flat top. We build them
from 2 by 16 feet, to 20 by 16 feet.
All concrete work must be well re
enforced with iron wire. We use any
kind of bar iron in the tops, laid hit
and miss lengthwise with the road.
Heavy woven hog wire is laid cross
wise of the top and in the wings, in
termingled, so as to unite the whole
culvert into one piece. The tops have

Type.
a crowning of eight inches and are
made 8 to 16 inches thick in the cen
ter. the thickness varying with the
width. The forms are placed so the
tops and abutments are all in one
piece. The bars or rods must be
shaped so as to be partly embedded
in the abutment walls.
We have just finished four culverts
12 by 16 feet, made after the plan of
the illustration, at a cost of $150.
This may seem to be quite a price,
yet if they last as we expect them to,
they will be cheap in the long run.
We use a lot of iron, any length, in
these tops. We get them cheap from
junk dealers.
This good roads move is a money
saver to the people. More has been
done to improve our highways in
the last five years than in any 15
years before.
TEACH GOOD ROAD BUILDING
One Sentence in Discussion of Con
crete Construction Worthy of Be
ing Printed in Big Type.
(By E. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College.)
In the engineering record of recent
issue is an interesting article concern
ing a meeting for the purpose of in
struction to road builders, by experts
in that line of work.
Speaking of the meeting the Record
comments as follows: "One sentence
in the discussion of concrete road
building would have been worth put
ting in black type. It is this: *You
cannot design a concrete pavement
four miles long and assume that you
can use the same cross-section
throughout; you will have to design
it the same as foundations for a build
ing, depending on the bearing power
of the soil, etc.’ ”
This is undoubtedly true, and yet
it states a fact that is almost univer
sally disregarded.
ROAD DRAG IS INEXPENSIVE
Constant Attention Is Price of Good
Roads—Objection That Too Much
Money Is Spent on Grader.
fBy C. SCHULTZ.)
I have watched the use of the road
drag and the grader past my house
this summer. The drag leaves the
road in better shape—the grader pil
ing roughage in the middle while the
drag smoothes it off nicely. Hut the
greatest objection is that the drag is
not used often enough. Constant at
tention is the price of good roads, and
the use of the drag is so inexpensive
that good roads by its use are obtain
able, or would be if the money were
not spent in using the grader with
four teams and five men. That's the
way the money goes.
Permanency of Bridges.
Concrete bridges for roads are the
kind that spell permanency. Between
threshing outfits and heavy motorcars
j the county with shaky bridges is iD
for trouble.
Keep Water Away.
Run furrows along hills that may
conduct water to a road and keep the
water away from road and ditch.
Operating a Drag.
Ride the drag. You can control the
cut by shifting your weight.
Lay Golden Eggs.
Remember that the hens that lay
the golden eggs are the ones that
produce them when they bring the
highest price.
Feeding Grain for Milk.
Dairy cows should be fed one pound
of a good grain mixture for every four
pounds of milk they give daily.
Sell Inferior Sheep.
Never keep or sell an inferior ewe
lamb for a breeder. Sell all such tc

Royal Ermine in a Chic Matched Set
ERMINE is for tliose who may in
dulge in luxuries and buy other
furs for real utility. Not that the roy
al fur is not durable enough, but be
cause its creamy whiteness makes it
unpractical for the workaday world
It is a . ur for occasional wear and.
since it will last for a long time, J
should be selected in shapes of muffs '
and neckpiecps that are always in ;
style. The rather large flat rtuff and
the plain straight scarf are never
passe, and therefore the safest choice
in the richest furs.
Narrow boas of ermine and small
neckpieces are really more chic than
any other finish to the pretty midwin
ter promenade or visiting toilette
Muffs, whether made to wear with
large or small scarfs and neckpieces,
are usually rather large. But ermine
Is one of those splendid things that
look best when sparingly used. Like
diamonds that are too large, and
rich lace recklessly used, as if it were
of little account, something is lost of
the best effects when ermine is made
into entire coats or very ample capes
and scarfs.
In the picture an attractive set is
shown, with the neckpiece only two
skins in width and the muff an excel
lent shape. The set is exquisitely
made. The setting-in of the brilliant
blackpoints of the tails is a feature
that shows how expert workmanship
can add to the beauty of that which is
already beautiful.
There are certain types among wom
en to which ermine is especially well
suited. There must be something in
the wearer to match up with the emi
nence of that fur which is the wear of
queens.
Beautiful Fur Set.
A beautiful fur set is of tailless er
mine—a quaint, pointed caplike toque,
with one long slender quill held in
place by a cluster of black crystals,
a long, wide stole, with much elon
gated pointed ends and a bunch of
tails forming a tassel to finish them
off, and a heart-shaped muff.
Two Views of Velvet Turban, and a Hat

story of the winter is almost told, but
occasionally one sees a new develop
ment of the most familiar materials.
Two views of a rich velvet turban
are shown here, and with them a pic
ture of a brimmed hat. The turban is
trimmed with two fitch skins and is
noticeably original in draping and
lovely in color scheme. The frame is
brimless and the velvet sweeps to
ward the back in a full puff which is
extended into a wing, it fits closely
about the head. Its outlines and the
rich depth of color in the king s blue
velvet make it rich and becoming be
fore the handsome fuss are added
The two skins are mount.-d with heads
posed at the left front, fine of them
runs over the crown and the other fol
lows the line of the velvet draping on
the side crown.
The reverse view shows the velvet
draping on the right side and the pose
of the hat on the head.
A handsome brimmed hat has a soft
crown, with collar of velvet end a
moderately wide brim that lift at one
side. A short plume at the right side
curls downward from the collar to the
brim, and a second plume at the left
is mounted to stand and curl down
ward. Hat and plumes are in black
and made just the right sort of back
ground for the wreath of -mall bril
liant, metallic flowers that encircles
the crown. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
The New Peticoats.
Petticoats made of pique, button
holed in big scallops about the hem,
are durable and serviceable. They are
not transparent, and that is one of
the things that commends them for
practical wear.
Quite the opposite of the pique pet
ticoat is that of net. It is often hand
embroidered with a scalloped edge
and some sprays of leaves above the
scallop.
The dancing petticoat is usually
made with a slash in each side. This |
arrangement insures freedom, with
out which it is impossible nowadays
to dance. The lower edge of the
front and back of the petticoat aro

Women's complaints often prove to be

result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con

You may suffer a great deal with pain

Wheat Crop
means nourishment to millions. But, did you know that a large percent of what
are known as the vital phosphates of this wheat will be wasted, so far as
human needs are concerned? That’s unfortunate, but true.
Many so-called breakfast foods and all white flour products lack these
mineral elements—phosphorus, iron, lime, etc.—because they are thrown out
of the wheat in the milling process, just to make the flour look white and
pretty. And yet these elements are absolutely necessary—all of them—
for health.
There’s one food, however, that does not lack these mineral elements.
That food is—
Grape - Nuts
Made of wheat and barley, this sturdy food contains all the nutriment of
the grain, including their rich phosphates, so essential for body, brain and
nerve building. The long baking of Grape-Nuts food makes it easily digesti
ble, with highly concentrated food-values.
