. A SURE THING. • Tto'a light between a Roman and ft Barbarian.” "And does the Roman winT" "Why should he lose? These toys are made to sell in Rome!” TEACHING THE YOUNG IDEA. Mrs. Hogg—Don’t you know what becomes of bad little pigs when they die? Little Pig— What, mamma? Mrs. Hogg—They go to a horrible place where they get thin.

" FATEB. Of the three Fates, Clotho, who spun the thread of life, was for making woman to be worth her weight in gold. But Atropos, the dread, was otherwise minded. “Why,” exclaimed Atropos, “If we make her worth her weight In gold, she probably won't do a blessed thing to reduce her flesh, and she’ll just naturally get io be a sight!” Lachesls, the fearsome third, sided with Atropos, and although Clotho resorted to about all the dilatory tactics then known to parliamentary law, she was finally defeated. IN A LIVERY-STABLE TOWN. A livery stable-town is usually a mile from the station—a mile of dust and mud, goats, chickens, tin cans, barbed wire, old garments; and ancient vehicles. There are three livery stables, a blacksmith-shop, and nine nickel-plat-ed barrooms; a drag and picture-post-card store; and a grocery store, a hardware store, a general store, and a kind off a store. There is a hotel In connection with a livery stable. The livery-stables are most imposing edifices —Mission style, Romanesque, and Gothic. The churches and the hotel seem to be Caslon Old Style. Your room at the hotel is over the bar-room. This keeps you from being lobesome. If you want to take a nap ■0 as to be at your best when you lecture in the evening, there is a youth on the sidewalk below your window whose business it is to keep you awake. He can make more difficult kinds of noises than a menagerie. Some of them are so wonderful and excite so much curiosity that you must climb out of bed to see how he does iL He hails everybody he knows and regales them extensively. When there Is nobody to be regaled he whistles. When Ms tone Is worked out, and he can think of nothing else, he rolls a keg up and down.

In the middle of the night you are awakened by a startling apparation. An old lady Is standing in her nightdress, a lamp In her hand, desperately trying to hang her clothes on Imaginary hooks in the air. For some reason or other she cannot locate the hooks. Yob have given up all Idea of rest, and are ready to be entertained by this latest novelty. i She Is a nice-looking old lady In gold-rimmed specks. Her eyes rest upon yea, lying In bed. “Well, mercy me!" she says, and doses the door. She evidently inadvertently mistook your room Dor a closet.

ROAD BUILDING

GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAG Implement Should Be Ueed Property at Right Time—Repair All Ruts and Depressions. After two days of rain, says a writer in Hoard’s Dairyman, we took an eight-mile drive out into the country to buy some pigs. One piece of road was like a city boulevard, only better. Despite Its being only a grpvel road there wim little mud or Water, and one would have thought that there had been only rain enough to settle the dust instead of the big rainstorm. Wes Inquired and found that two neighbors had made it a practice to alternate in going over this road with a road drag after every rain. Just beyond, we came +o a piece of road muddy, slippery and full of chuck holes that sent us up a mile for every mile covered.. The only difference between these two pieces of road was a road drag and an hour’s time spent when field work could not be done. We estimate that it took twice as much gasoline to cover the undragged road. Multiply our experience by the dozens of teams and autos going over this jhiuddy road, and then compute the expense of failure to use the road drag that was doubtless rotting away In some fence corner. We do not now have in mind the demands of the good roads extremist, bnt are. considering what may be done and wbat should be done with the common dirt road. It does more hafm thal good, as a general rule, to j>low np the sod on the sides of the traveledr track and pild it up in big lumps in the center of the track, leaving them there to be broken up by passing vehicles, and the loosened dirt, washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Keep* all the sod, grass roots and other

trash out of the road bed. It merely decays and makes ready for a splendid hole to form. w Whatever is worth doing at all Is worth doing well. No part of a repaired highway should be left until Its surface has been thoroughly and evenly compacted and shaped to let all the water run off. And when, as will most always happen, ruts and depressions make their appearance, they should, be smoothed down, filled, and well compacted so that water may not remain in them to soften the ground and permit further damage by the traffic. When using the road drag, use it properly at the right tifhe. Don’t go out when the road is too wet or too dry. Take it when the mud will make a good mortar and will puddle down like the little girl’s mnd cakes or the mason’s mortar.

MACADAM ROAD PROVED BEST

There Are Beveral Varieties, Changed to Bult Localities and Circumstances Everywhere. For over a century now the macadam road has use and has proved Itself to be the best all-round road that can be built In fact, so good Is It that all military roads in the war area In France are of this type. There are several varieties of It changed to suit localities and circumstances. The regular water-bound macadam is, without doubt the best and safest for horses. But we cannot build for horses alone, it is necessary to preserve the broken stone, road against the automobile tires, otherwise the road surface would soon go to pieces.

Inadequate Roads Costly.

Both town and country lose money because of our very Inadequate roads.

Rape Good Hog Pasture.

Rape is a profitable crop for providing fall pasture for hogs where farmers harvest com by hogging it down.

Break Land Before Freezes.

It will pay generally to break the sand before freezes so the weeds and bt'liei; vegetation may be turned while green. "
