IMPROVED ROADS ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920 Distinct Shortage of Labor and Higher Cost of Materials Among Difficulties Encountered.Every kind of rond cost about twice as wuch to build In 1920 as it did in 1917, according to the chief of the -bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and highway construction suffered more than any other class of work through railroad congestion, strikes, labor troubles, and material shortages.After the war there wus a great public demand for limuproved rouds.Many roads had been seriously damaged hy war trafic, and It appeared that the return of men from military service would provide an abundance of Sand-Clay Road !s Satisractory.labor.\u2018The army of laborers which we expected to apply for the work did not, however, materialize.On the contrary, there was a distinet shortage of labor, and wages reached the highest levels attained in the history of the country.In 1917, competent labor could be secured for from $1.50 to $3 per day.but the corresponding wages in 1920 were from $3 to $5 for a shorter duy's work, In proportion to this demand there was also a pronounced scarcity of construction materials, Saud, gravel, stone and cement, und materials come wonly used in rond work increased in price between 1917 and 1920 from Ho to 100 per cent.Naturally, these increases in cost were reflected in the prices paid to contractors for road work.(Gravel roads increased from $4,035 to $7,200 per mile; concrete from $21,165 to upward of $40,000 per aile, and brick roads from $33,000 to 855,000 per mile, As funds available for road construction are largely limited by statute, or by the returns from taxation, u majority of the states this year have deliberately withheld work, the plans for which had been completed, until they could obtain a greater return for their expenditure, 1 MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED Will Increase Growing Popularity of Automobiles and Help Build Up Communities.To determine the average mileage the automobile owner covers in a pleasure trip in the evening after the day's work ls over, an investigation among 250 owners in a middle Yestern city of around 300,000 popu- Hation resulted in un average of 38 miles.Sixty-two per cent stated they would make longer trips If the roads \u201cpermitted, 85 per cent stated they usually made their trips out into the \u2018country.From these figures it is easy to see \u201chat more good ronds will {n- crease the growing popularity of the automobile, which will In turn help to build up communities, relleving congestion in the erowded cities, cre- nte n wider ctreulation of moner, in- crense realty values, lower transportation costs and futroduce \u201cAmerica First\u201d to more people.eee = ROAD SOILS DIFFER WIDELY Just What Characteristics Are Which Make Them Different Puzzles Highway Engineers.The federal highway engineers point out that soils differ widely in their ability to support londs, particu- Jarly when they are wet dust why this Is true and Just what are the characteristies which minke them different 1x little understood at present.ft is in this field of investigation, of incrensing importance because of the MASSAWIPPI Virginia in passing through bere towards Stanstead, after crossing the bridge, instead of keeping the road, plunged throughthedooryardof My.J.Qarr and into a wire fence, tearing it down.Initewild course it passedovera blanket on the ground upon which only a few minutes before Mr.Carr's baby had been lying, but fortunately had been taken into the house.The parents feel it was providential that its life was not crushed out.The driver of the auto, being in a state of intoxication, was not allowed to drive on, but another of the auto party took the wheel and proceeded after settling for the damage done.It seems that Government whiskey is as exhilirating as apy of the old kind.It doesn\u2019t seem to \u2018regulate\u2019 worth a cent.The school-closing took place Thursday afternoon, when several of the parents and friends of the scholars were present to witness the giving of the prizes by Mr.A.Voisard, who bas conducted the school in a very pleasing and able manner.We understand that he has been re-epgaged to teach the next year.The W.C.T.U.meeting was held on Thursday at \u2018\u2018Rosebank,\u2019\u2019 the home of Mrs.W.Frappied, with a large attendance.Mrs.Glidden and Mrs.W.Foot of the Hatley Union were present; also Miss Duggan of Springfield, Mass., Mrs.Cora Merrill and Mrs.Auger of North Hatley, and Mrs.Chadsey of Ayers Cliff.The principal thought of the day was, if a repeal of the Scott Act was to be brought on there would be work ahead to do of a vigorous nature.Tbe flag has been raised in Stanstead County but there are those who would poll it down\u2014Shame! At thie meeting it was decided to omit the regular July and August meetings as asual and all visit the sister unions in the town, when possible, also to continue the work of the departments during the vacation, that no time may be lost in the etrife for right over wrong.À report of \u2018\u2018lemperance day\u201d at Beebe was given by Mrs.Mosher, who upon that occasion was invited to recite and

recitation, \u2018\u2018Patchwork.\u201d The audience listened atten'ively to both recitations and gave hearty praise.At the close Mrs.Frappied and Mrs.W.Jones served delicious refreshments, with an abundance of strawberries and cream.The congregation at church Sunday was rather small, owing to several attending camp meeting at Beebe.At the request of the W.C.T.U., Rev.A.E.Hopper will speak on

for Exchange of Purebred Sire.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) \u201cI was in Mecklenburgh county, North Carolina, sone weeks ago,\u201d says a fleld man of the dairy division, United States Department of Agricul ture, \u201cand had an opportunity of witnessing an incident which throws new light on the usefulness of the bull- association organization.There is an association in that county, and I was invited to \u2018sit in\u2019 at a meeting of the Bull Associations Should Get the Best Bulls Obtainable.board of directors.The question of holding a sale came up, and the county agent read a letter he had received from some farmers in another community who wanted to buy stock, and were coming to Mecklenburgh county to see what they could get.The directors appointed: a committee to receive them and show them around.\u201cThus this plece of business was provided for, and placed in the hands of the right persons.Otherwise the county agent would have had to give up other work he had on hand, and search for some one to whom he could refer the visitors, and go with them.Even then he would not have had the information so readily available as these breeders themselves had it.\u201cIn another county I saw a different thing, which shows how the county agent is loaded down with work where there is no such organization.He had succeeded in getting a number of farmers in different parts of the county to take up pure breeding, and had placed some good bulls with them.These sires had now been used for two years, and a change had to be made.So the county agent found it necessary to hustle around and arrange exchanges among these farmers to keep the good sires at work: otherwise the owners would have sold them, and might have neglected to buy new ones, and might have lost the use of a good bull.If there had been a bull association ir the county it would have attended to the business of exchanging, as one of its regular functions, and left the county agent free to take up other important work.\u201d FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES Rank Below Good Corn Silage on Account of Higher Percentage of Moisture in Former, from the standpoint of feeding value for dairy cows, it may be said that potatoes rank below good corn silage.The latter contains about 26 per cent dry matter and the former, about 21 per cent.The chemical composition of raw potatoes and corn silage is very similar.Both contain about 1 per cent of digestible protein and between 16 and 17 per cent of digestible carbohydrates and fats, but potatoes contain somewhat more moisture than well-cured corn silage.Potatoes at 36 cents a bushel would cost $12 a ton, whereas silage is worth less than one-half that price under present conditions.PROVIDING SALT FOR COWS Best Pian is to Give Animals Constant Supply\u2014Ounce Each Day is About Right.The best way to provide salt for the cows is to give them a constant supply so they have easy access to it.The average cow wlll use about half a pound n week.If salt is provided dally an ounce each day will be about right, giving more or less according to the demands of the individual animals, Cows giving milk require more than those not in lactation.INCREASING YIELD OF COWS Foreign Competition Can Be Eliminated by Better Breeding, Right Feed and Care.\u201c Better breeding, the right kind and amount of feed and good care are the only ways the production of our dairy cows can be Increased.When this Is done, foreign countries flonding our markets with their butter will have to look elsewhere for customers.Number of Eggs to Set.Fifteen eggs are enough for any hen to cover, and during very cold weather or with very small hens, better results will often be secured if no more than 11 or 13 eggs

so many centuries that reference to them muy be found in the oldest chronicles, According to Homer, Circe augmented her charms by anointing herself with various perfumes, and it was by the harmony of these perfumes that she bewitched Ulysses.Violet was the favorite perfume with the Athenians at feasts, funerals and other ceremonies.There were fountains of fragrant waters at the feasts of Nero.The perfumery-makers of the old time combined the scents of roses from Cyrene, violets from Athens, balsums from the orient and henna flowers from Egypt.Incense was burned at pagan rites and in Hebrew temples centuries before the birth of our Lord, and \u201cardent ver- valn\u201d was offered up by the Gauls in their ancient rites.Great value was glven to the use of perfumery in Europe by the

Suppressive meusures Aguinst the European corn borer are to be applied vigorously this spring In the western part of New York state to test the pos- sibillty of preventing the natural spread of this pest.Specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of the work have completed their pluus, whlch will be carried out in co-operation With state agencies.The infested area where the experiment Is to be tried out borders on Lake Erie and purtly on that section of Canada where the corn borer wade its appearance last year.The fight is to be curried against the insect while in its winter quarters.The corn stubble und refuse that have been lying in the fields since lust yeur's harvest will be cleaned up und burned.Meanwhile, as another method of attack, thousands of cocoons of u smull, wusp-like insect whose grub hus been found to be a parasitic enemy of the corn borer are being sent to the United States by a representative of the department who is in southern France studying the eneinies of the pest.Thus far about 5,000 cocoons have been received at the Boston office of the department, where they are hatched out and the winged insects liberated In bundreds in infested fields.The European corn borer, which has been known in this country but u few years, is looked upon as one of the most dangerous insect pests that have made their appearance in the United States.Some fears ure entertained that it will eventually make its way to the corn belt.Infestations of the pest occur in sections of New York und Massachusetts, where federal quarantine to check the spread of the insect are in force.CHUTE FOR HANDLING STOCK Comparatively Easy Matter to Construct Device as lllustrated\u2014Old Wheels Useful, Farmers who ship many hogs, sheep and calves during the

NEED GREEN FEED Very Little Grain Is Required Until Fowls Are Fully Feathered\u2014 Water Is Essential.Goslings do not need feed until they are 36 hours old or more, when they should be given stale bread soaked in milk or water, to which finely chopped boiled eggs may be added.Feed three or four times daily for the first two or three weeks, with chopped grass or some other green feed added, this latter to be increased in quantity from the first.Plenty of fresh, clean water should be supplied, and five per cent of fine grit or sharp sand may be added to the feed or kept in a Hopper before the goslings.After two or three weeks, if the goslings have a good grass range, they reed only one light feed daily of a mash made up of two parts shorts and one part of cornmeal or ground oats or ground barley, After they are six weeks old, if they still need extra .ts feed,\u201d change the mash to equal pur x public opinion, shorts, cornmeal and ground oats, with five per cent meat scrap.Where the pasture is good, many goslings are raised from the time they are two or three weeks old to fattening time with- cut any grain feed, hut the addition of a mash as described above is an advantage at all times, \\Vhole grains are mot usually fed until the goslings are well feathered.CARE OF LAWN IS IMPORTANT Mowing, Rolling, Fertilizing and Watering Have Tendency to Exclude Noxious Plants.The general

occupation, the Marne still reveuls its tale of a ghustly yesterday.It was once 8 sparkling stream flowing through a charming valley that was particularly noted for its wooded scenery.Nowadays the Marne writhes through a valley of tree corpses.Its waters are discolored and foul.Its surface Is covered with a thick, olly scum.\u2018The stream flows with great weariness, and as though in great pain.\u2019 Even then you must look beneath the murky water to appreciate the full horror of the Marne.The story of what this river has inirrored in its troubled waters of yesterday is best tcid by the accumulation of rubbish that clutters the rived bed.There one sees rusted shells and broken artjl- lery pleces, sometimes old shoes, broken rifles, helmets, for the Marne, as those who fought there will testify, is a continuous sepulcher to the unknown dend.Yet, despite this, the oddest sight in a trip through the valley of the Marne is the gipsy caravan one frequently encounters on the roads, The brilliant colors of their wagon wheels flashing In the sun, contrasts strangely with the dead underbrush by thie roud- side.At first you wonder why these people, who depend so much on foraging, should select these devastated areas.Certainly the returned peus- ant has no brass kettle ware for them to mend, and there is little food that the natives can afford to share with the gipsy beggars, I finally was told the reason for the presence of these odd tourists, It seels that the gipsies have had great difficulty in holding their younger generations to the old roving life.This is particularly true of the young men, ! who succumb to the comforts and attractions of town ways.So, by way of a lesson, the gipsy chieftains are taking their children across the battlefields.When they

Sheep probubly suffer more than any other kind of live stock from parasites, They are practically immune to tuberculosis, which is one of the serious allients of cattle and swine, und among sheep there is nothing comparable to the devastating outbreaks of cholera umong swine.Sheep lave comparatively few bacterial diseases.Nevertheless, there Is a steady loss of sheep in all parts of the country und this loss is mostly due to parasites.It is the sheep owners\u2019 business to prevent disease rather than to attempt to cure it after it hus made its appearance, While there are special treatments for the various diseases which makes it advisable to call a competent veterinarian, there are a number of ways lo prevent diseases caused by parasites.Among these pasture rotation, use of forage Crops, feeding from racks or board floors, draining or filling swamps, and preventing wandering dogs from getting into the flock, l\u2019ermanent pastures perpetuate parasit:x, it is stated.The eggs of internal purasites puss from the animals in the manure and thus the pastures become infested.The proper disposal of the manure will aid in preventing this.Dumage froin parasites is greatest, as a rule, among lambs and young sheep.Hence, It is Important to pay special attention to the care and handling of lambs and yearlings.Prompt action to ascertain the cause when sheep become unthrifty will often prevent serlous loss.Parusites of sheep are divided into two general groups, external and internal.Among the former, lice, sheep ticks, and scab mites are the most common.One application of sodium flourlde in the form of a powder rubbed into the skin will kill biting lice, but not sucking lice.Both kinds of lice, sheep ticks, and scab mites Where Pasture Is Abundant Sheep Need No Other Feed.are destroyed by dipping the sheep.For lice and sheep ticks a number of dips are recommended in the bulletin, including coal tar creosote, cresol, and nicotin, or nicotin and sulphur.For scab mites the official dips are line-sulphur and nicotin-sulphur dips.Arsenieal dips are not well sulted to sheep dipping.All places which have been occupled by lousy sheep should be regarded as dangerous from this standpoint for a period of three weeks; it occupled py ticky sheep, as dangerous for two months; if occupied by seabby sheep, as dangerous for a month or two in the case of pastures, and a year or more in the case of bulldings.Quarantine measures are essential in eradicating seab.The most common Internal parasites of sheep include tapeworms, flukes, roundworms, and a few other forms such as maggots enusing grub in the head, the tongue-worm and the one- celled protozoan, One of the most common of these is the grub, infestation with which can be largely prevented by smearing the nose of the sheep with a preparation made of equal parts of tar and grease, or tar and fish oil.Other important internal par- nslites discussed In the bulletin are tapeworms, Che gld parasites, hydatid, Uver flukes, stomach worms, nodular worms, hookworms, and lungworing, Of these, certain tapeworms are fair- Iv common over the entire United States; one tapeworm occurs only in the West: glit Is most prevalent in Montana; Hyver flukes are most common in the Gulf states and the Pacific Const states ; stomnch worms and lung- worms take a heavy toll in sheep In almost every state In the Union.and nodular worms and hookworms are common in the South and East, FULL VALUE OF BUTTERMILK Particularly Advantageous When Fed in Connection With Corn or Other Feeds.The greatest or full value of buttermilk and skimmilk for feeding is secured only when fed In connection with other feeds, Buttermilk fed alone to pigs does not give the resultx it does when fed in connection with corn, Best Practice With Manure, Hauling manure direct from the barn and spreading it on the field at once ia the best practice in handling manure.Get Collar to Fit, Get a collar that fits the horse.A good collar costs money but n horse with a sore shoulder will cost money also.The swiftest speed we know is that of light\u2014186,000 miles a second; the slowest is that of tlie human thumb- nall, which

bamboo tree grows 27-10,000,- 000thg of n yard a second.The earth speeds around the sun at 65,533 miles an hour.A snall moves 15-10,000ths of a yard a second, De Itomanet flew an airplane on November

ribbon trimming, One wonders if the nightgowns developed in colors were not originally intended to be worn as midsummer negligees.For instance, one is in pale pink triple voile and has narrow band trimmings of mauve georgette crepe and taffeta bows of matching hue, To accompany this there is a little cap in crown form made of the pink material and trimmed in the same manner as the gown.DECORATION FOR THE HOME Seed Pods and Grasses May Be Beau tifully Tinted as if by Fairy's Wand.Seed pods and grasses are popular as a decoration in the home now because of thelr new polychrome

of the Shadows.We hud been told that we must offer them all our possessions, but that they would take for themselves only the shadows of the things they wanted.So we put slender sticks on the ground, all along the open side of our room, between the high tree-roots, and hung on them our tapa garments, our necklaces and ornaments of feathers und of peurl and of green jade-stone.One precious thing we could not offer them, and that was the bracelet of iridescent peurl-shell set with cat's eyes of the sea.It had been put oun my sweetheart's arm when she was a little girl, and now she could not take it off.We hoped the Little People of the Shadows would understand that: the bracelet also would have been offered them if it had been possible, I feared \u2014and resolved to stay awake, to protect my sweetheart if they did not understand, but I was tired and soon fell asleep on the soft mesa beslde her warm body.Suddenly 1 awoke.The Ribbons of Light were all about, going and com- Ing, rolling and unrolling, lighting up the open spaces, where hundreds of the Little People were carrying off the shadows of all the ornaments we had hung on the slender sticks.They were duncing in the light of the Rolling Ribbons, and the place where my sweetheurt had heen lying was no longer warm.She was dancing in the midst of the Little People.I saw my swevet- heart\u2014my full-bodled woman, my beautiful one, the Flower of the Moun- tain\u2014becoming smaller and smaller, She became as a little child.As the bracelet of shining pearl silpped from her tiny wrist, the Little People picked it up and hung it on one of the slender sticks, where its cat's eye glowed.Soon, as they danced, my sweetheart, was no larger than the other Little People and was among them, The Ribbons of Light rolled away among the trees and all was dark again.The Shadow Folk were gone; my sweetheart was gone to be with the souls of all the other people who have been lost in the forests of purple Orohena.\u2014From the Shadow Folk: A Tahitian Legend, by E.Lloyd Se- .christ, in Asia Magazine, Has Own Idea of \u201cProgress.\u201d A different idea of progress from that usually held is given by A.Edward Newton, who, in the Atlantic Monthly, writes: \u201cI was dining once ifn London, quite informally, with a great electrical engineer, a very trig maid in attendance.On the table near my host's right hand was a small block of white marble and a tiny silver mallet.When he wanted the maid he struck the marble a resounding blow.I was somewhat amused and asked him if he had ever heard of a push-button for the same purpose.\u2018My boy, I have,\u2019 was his reply, \u2018but I get enough of electrical devices in the city; I don\u2019t want a single one of them in my own home.I've not yet come to using gas; TI prefer candles; they are not so likely to get out of order.I hate this pushing a dimple and walting for something to happen.When I muke a noise myself I begin to feel 1 sense of progress that's what we stand for in this country\u2019\u2014with a knowing wink\u2014\u2018progress,\u201d \u201cSafety Net\u201d Worked Well.The thrilling rescue of a four-year- old boy occurred in Brooklyn a short time ago.The boy had his tonsils and adenoids removed and was on the third floor of a hospital.The nurse left the ward for three minutes and when she returned she missed the child, The little patient had climbed to one of the windows, squeezed through the bars and was hanging outside.The flutter of the child's nightie attracted the attention of passersby.Two young men stripped off thelr coats, knotted them together by the sleeves, and stretched them out ns a makeshift suftey net.A moment later the hoy's grasp on the window ledge relnxed and he went hurtling down, But the safety net proved effective and he dropped into it uninjured.Old Almond Trees Bear Well.That age is one of the assets of an almond orchard In point of hearing is clnlmed by Edward Wyckoff, pioneer resident of the Woodlnud

correspondent.Though G4 years of age, the orchard is the best bearing in the valley and the trees are strong and virile.Records of the production are being kept for grandchildren that they may make some comparisons of crops when the orchard reaches the century mark.People Lacking Curiosity.It there is a skeleton in your closet, rest assured that the few inhabitants of Easter island, 2,300 miles
