Scientists have recently made the
discovery that the brain of the fe
male child at binh is heavier than
that of the male child, but that it de
creases as she matures. This fact
explains her greater power of con
centration, her intuitiveness and re
finement. She makes up in quality
what she lacks in quantity. A twenty-dollar
gold piece is not so lare

twenty times as much.

Colonist rates are to go into effect

A Sacrament man is up against it
'good and hard. Besides being penni-
b him. Here we found them at work
spraying hops and to anyone that has
never witnessed tlie sight it is worth
thiir will:- to visit any of the yards
in their vicinity and see one of the
patent sprayers in opreatiou. Mr. Per
cival has just completed a new barn
in place of the one that was destroy
ed by fire last season during hop
picking. From the platform of one of
the dryers on this place, of which
there are four, one can stand and
look over 700 acres planted in hops.
The scene is one of thrift and
activity, reminding one of a suburb
of a large city, the large dryers loom
ing up in the distance like factories.
Frjm here we stopped at the place
of Tom Fennel who has one of the
best small hou yards In the bottom.
There is a trifle less than 20 acres
in the vard and in addition he has
about five acres in cherries and gar
den. This season he marketed over
4000 pounds of cherries from his or
ojiard besides a large quantity of
berries and vegetabl.se. Mr. Fennll h
recently completed one of the pret
tiest bungalows you will find any
where in the county, having built it
ou modern plans with porches in
front and the rear. Mr. Fennell pur
chased the place some years ago, for
$2000. At the present he. could turn
ft for $ 10.000 without any trouble. As
an indication of the productiveness of
the soil it might not be out of place
to state that here we saw sweet peas
blooming before the vine got out of
the ground.
Adjoining the Fennel and Pereival
yards are the Zollar Hop Yards
of which that prince of good fellows
D. P. MaeCarthy is manager and part
owner. These yards have an acreage
of about 200 acres and about 170 of
which are in hops this year. The
yards are conducted on the most
modern lines of any in the district
and Mac can, at a moment's notice,
tell Just what! it costs to operate
his yard. While the cost varies
a trifle one year with another he es
timates the average to be about
eight cents. A large portion of this
yard, like that of Pereival, was trel
lised, was entirely free from weeds
and looked thrifty. In speaking of the
crop in general Mac estimated that
it would fall short fully 40 per cent
of last year, but with the Increased
price the growers would be much bet
ter off on account of the shortage.
Besides hops considerable attention
Is paid to fruit and diversified farm
ing. Here we found machinery of
the mot modern make for the hand
dling of the work, besides the best
lot of horses seen on the trip. While

ARE ROADS TOO WIDE
German Highway! Narrower, but Bet
top Maintained, ay a Consul.
The following Information concern-'
tpg the superb rily of the hlghvvuys of
Germany as compared with those or
tlie rnirod stntes Is furnishrd by Rob
ert J. Thompson, consul nt Hanover:
German roads fire perhaps subjected
to a hundred times more traffic than
similar roads in tlie United States.
These ronds range from twenty to
rhirtv feet in width, while in our mid
dle and western states, where traffic Is
comparatively liht, we take land of
an average value of $100 per acre and
cut it up with roadways sixty-six feet
in width." practically two-thirds of tlie
game being given over to weeds, which
furnish an Inexhaustible supply of
seeds for the adjoining farm lands.
The farmer in Germany who has con
quered the weeds on his ground need
have no thought of them being started
again from uncultivated or uneared for
land along the roadways. There are
no weeds, no mud, no chuck holes, no
sand Ktretcllea In the roads.
One of the simplest and most practi
cal measures that could be taken for
the betterment of reads in tlie United
Sliites would be to reduce their width
to from one-third to one-half of what
they now are.
In the United States public high
ways hi the states given below may be
estimated as follows: Minnesota. 8",
nno: Wisconsin. 00,000: Michigan. 00.-
000; Iowa. 70.000; Kansas, 70,000; Ne
braska. 50,000; Missouri, 80,000; Illi
nois, 80,000; Indiana, 70,000: Ohio. 80,
000; total, 700.000 miles. Iteduclng the
width of these public highways, which
now average sixty-six feet, to thirty
six feet would give back to the farm
ers of these states for cultivation
2.5OO.O00 acres of genecally tillable
land, whi"h at an average valuation of
$100 per acre would mean the restora
tion to the producing values of the
states named of $250,000,000.

Automobiles to Haul Road Dregs.
At Salina. Kan., an enon is oemg
made to Induce each Btitomobollst to
drag several miles of road after each I
rain. The theory Is that the uee of the
drag places the earth on the crown of
the road, where it dries and hardens.
After another rain a repetition of the
dragging carries on more earth, which
In turn hardens, and after a few such
applications of the drag there Is a con
siderable hardened surface to the road
which does not easily disintegrate. The
mnlnTmptit nf the motor car to haul
the drag would demonstrate a hitherto I
unemployed utility of the machine.
