WOODBURN, OREGON GOODROABS MUDDY ROADS COSTLY Little Dragging by Each Farmer Will Aid Materially. No Patent on Implement Invented by King, and Coat Varies From Noth ing Up to $250, Depending on Material That Is Used. (By jr. D. COBURX. Secretary Kansas ' .f Board of Agriculture.) Rough and muddy 'roads coat the average farmer more than his taxes. If each farmer will, at the proper times, do a little dragging on the road in front of his land, the state's had roads will largely be made good roads. Try It for a year: get your neigh bors to do the same; see how Inex pensive and simple It all Is, and if It isn't one of the wisest Investments you ever made. ' This tells you how: The drag may be made of a log, say 8 feet long and 12 Inches through, split in the middle, or of two pieces of any substantial drag. The drae ia run at an an si a f i 45 degrees, so that dirt will be thrown ! f . n J - - , j mi .xi . ... I m iuniu uue niue. me oiner ena or me ! chain can be inserted and fastened in a hole in the face of the front slab near where the right-hand connecting; piece comes through, as shown in the illustration. Shoe about four feet of I the bottom edge (right-hand side) of the front slab with a piece of iron or teei, aooui inree tncnes wide ana a half-inch thick, with one edge sharp j or beveled. Bolt it on secerely, letting ' the sharp edge project about half an 1 inch below the edge of the slab. This ! shoe will - enable the drag better to shave the surface and cut down the i hard ridges which are usually met with on roads that have not been kept smooth. A good drag will cost from almost nothing to $250, depend ing on the material and construction and last five or ten years. There Is no patent on it, and anybody can make one. - noaas snouia De dragged ten or twelve times a year. The time after each soaking rain, so that the drag will form a smooth surface. The dragging should be done when the soil is moist but not sticky. When the frost is leaving the ground is an ex cellent time to begin; the drag should be In use from then until winter. The work does not Interfere with ordinary farming operations, as when it Is the right time to drag, the soil Is too wet or the conditions unsuited for most kinds of Held work. It is difficult to invent a good excuse for not dragging. Used at the right time and with prop er frequency, on practically all types of corn-belt soils and those of the clayey or rolling sections, the drag will make roads smooth, hard and con' vex, the three fundamental character istics of an ideal dirt road. The process will form a sort of shell or The King Road Drag. Teach Australian Boys to Farm. Australia has established a train ing school for boys who wish to be come expert farmers, but who lack the means to obtain proper Instruction. "EAT HEARTY" RELIEVE DISTRESS AFTER EATING wood, 2x8 inches, and the lighter the better After the log is split, giving two flat-faced slabs, . bore three two Inch holes in each slab as shown in the drawing, connect the slabs, facing the same direction, with the three stakes, or rounded 3x3s, long enough to leave 8 feet of space between the slabs after the connecting pieces have been driven into the holes. Two or three boards nailed together can be laid on these pieces, affording a loose platform for the driver to stand on. Use a chain or strong rope for attach ment to the doubletree. Supposing the drag to face the west, and assum ing that a chain is used, fasten one end of the chain to or around the left hand outside connecting brace, letting the chain pass over the top of the front slab. If attached to the face of the slab near the left hand end, the chain would interfere with the move ment of dirt toward that end of the glad casing over the surface which will shed water like a roof, and by dis tributing travel over the entire area, Instead of confining it to the center, the shell will constantly increase In solidity. At the outset dragging can' not be done so rapidly as when the road has "been shaped up by several sweeps of the drag; after this pre liminary work, the Job can be done in half the time originally required. Drive slowly. Any boy and farm team can operate the drag and will learn at every dragging for years how to get better results from it. If you don't want to attend to drag ging your own part of the road, chip in a trifle with others and hire some neighbor who will work regularly and at the proper times. Don't be disturb ed if your road doesn't reach perfec tion in the first year. Keep everlast ingly at it, and later on you will be SIMMONS' ROAD BILL PASSED Get Well and you can very easily .-.

In the dying hours of the congress Just closed Senator Simmons of North Carolina made a name for himself as the father of the first appropriation for road building by the federal gov ernment that has been made since Henry Clay made his sucessful fight for the building of the old Cumberland road. Senator Simmons' bill provides for the expenditure of only' $500,000, and that for experimental work; but the loe has been broken now, and the advocates of national highways con structed by the national government have taken new courage. The bill pro vides for every dollar expended In any community by the federal government the local authorities shall put up two, so, while the actual appropriation Is only five hundred thousand, the bill will cause to be expended on the roads of the country a million and a half; It is further stipulated that every cent of the money shall be spent un der the direction of engineers from the United States office of public roads, thus eliminating the possibility of local graft. The information that the national government has at last made a direct appropriation for road- building outside of federal cemeteries, national parks and army posts comes to the advocates of good roads as the best news they have heard in many years; the appropriation is not much it is true, but road-workers will In sist that it is the first ray of light that presages the approach of dawn. National - highways are coming, and coining soon. . Good Roads, Good roads are essential to the suc cess of the farmer the world over. Poor roads are very costly, they cause the speedy wearing out of wag ons, the lots of animals and the fail ure to market crops profitably. Good roads mean a great ease in market ing, longer wear of farm wagons, more profit and more comfort. Good roads are not expensive; all roads can be Improved at small cost In money, time and labor. Food for Poultry. Poultry food should be palatable. Some grains are the favorite food of chickens, while others are not. Rye may be fed. but it is not generally liked by poultry, and should never be made the principal feed. It may be used in a mixture with other grains, and will be eaten by the flock. Relish Is one of the factors of proper feed ing. Food should be varied. The best commercial poultry, foods on the mar ket are combinations of the common farm grains. There are varying amounts of each, according to nutri tive value and cheapness wheat, oats, corn, barley,; rye, millet-seed, caneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sunflower-seeds and I grasseeds. With these are combined grit, shells and charcoal. These foods produce goo4 results, mainly because of the va rlety. With a little instruction, one could make such a combination for the flock of grains on the farm.
