8HORT SERMONS ON GOOD
ROADS. 4
No fanning section which has
once had good roads would ever
go back to bad rouds.
High freight rates are not
nearly as heavy a tax on the
shippers of stock and other farm
produce as bad roads are.
Only a very rich county could
afford the tremendous financial
drain of bad roads.
A good road Is to a country
district what n paved street Is
to the city property that ad
joins It It makes business for
that neighborhood.
A farmer living on a good road
Is a free man. He Is not de
pendent on weather conditions.
He Is able to sell his stock and
grnin and fruit at the best mar
ket prices. The railroads have
to serve the man who can get
his stuff to a shipping point nny
day In the year.
Money spent for good roads Is
as good an Investment for Im
proving the farm as Is money
put into stock sheds, grain crib3.
fences, seeds or anything else
that makes the farm pay.
Brains are as essential ns
money and muscle in roadmak-lng.

SHADE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Wouldn't our great-grandma giggle
"Te-he" at horses sporting straw sun
bonnets In the hot season?
Granddad decorated his bald top with
a green cnbbago leaf for n sunstroke
protector and rigged up old Fan and
Dobbin Gray with leafy boughs to
keep off files and skeeters. That bents
cuttln' off horses' tails and manes for
style and lettlu' the pests eat cm up.
But don't bother luventln' Biddy bon

enough sunshade for Biddy.
Just look at the pictures the one
flock cool and contented in that beau

In the glaring sun, with no refugo for
relief. A wooden man can tell which
flock will turn out better.
Yet some fellows who provide no
protection for poultry wonder why
many of their chicks and ducklings
die and others do not reach a profitable
maturity.
It's often the weather. We believe

lowing fowls to balance their own ra
tion; likewise we afford fucllltles for
sun and shade and let old and young
stock take as much of each as necessary.
Sun Is necessary for fowls. They
love it. Watch them spread their
wings and tails, loosen their plumage
and incline tbelr bodies to catch the
virtue of every ray. It Is warmth and
health tonic to a certain limit.
Then it's a roast, and prostration, sun
stroke, paralysis, death, follow. Many
flocks are prisoners at the stake. The
extreme cruelty of It Is they can't es
cape. You see this where there Is no
Bhade In the runs, where low roofed
houses afford no relief by day or
night, where crated poultry stands in
the scorching sun.
But this Is all so easily remedied
and may bo so beautifully dono.
