INTERESTING TRICK TO PLAY
Board Projecting Over Table and Cov
red, With Newspaper Cannot Be
. ; . Knocked to Floor. .
Take an ordinary board, two or
three feet long, such as a bread board,
and place it on the table bo that about
one-third of its length will project
over the edge. Unfold a newspaper
and lay It on the table over the board
says the Popuplar Mechanics. Any
one not " familiar with the expert
ment would suppose the board could
be kDocked off by hitting It on the
outer end, it would appear to be easy
to do, but try it. Unless you are pre
pared to break the board you proba
bly will not be able to knock the board
off-:
The reason Is that when the board
Is sthick it forces the other end up and
the newspaper along with it. inis
causes a momentary vacuum to be
formed under the paper, and the pres
sure of the sir above, Which is about
fifteen pounds to the square inch, pre
vents the board from coming up. This
is an entertaining trick to play at an
evening party, and also makes a sim

"Write like an angel" is a corruption

was one Angelo Verjecto, whose writ

synonymous for the beautiful writ

GOOD
ROADS
DISCUSS A DULUTH HIGHWAY
Through Thoroughfare to Be Advo
cated by, Commercial Bodies of
Three Big Cities.
Three enthusiastic good roads
boomers from Duluth met the other
day with the St. Paul Association of
Commerce to enlist the help of that
organization in a systematic campaign
for obtaining a modern highway from
the twin cities to Duluth. Minneapolis
is expected to help also, and In a short
time the Civic Commerce association
and the Minneapolis Automobile club
will be called Into the movement
The conference was Informal and no
action was taken, beyond an assurance
by the St. Paul men that they would
Join hands with the state, the coun
ties and the local communities In the
plans of the Duluth men.
The latter realize that while the
twin cities and Duluth will derive the
greatest benefit from the proposed
highway, the bulk of the cost will fall
on the counties lying between, Wash
ington, Chisago, and Pine, and they
purpose first to carry on a systematic
campaign of education, through a se
ries of county meetings and confer
ences at which an effort will be made
to prove to these counties that the
road will be worth more to them than
It will cost them under the Elwell act.
Residents of Sanastone are reported
to be enthusiastic over the through
highway Idea because they are satis
fied that such a road, aside from fur
nishing a good road for local transpor
tation, will attract a heavy automobile
traffic both ways from which every
city and village will profit. 1
CONDUCIVE TO SOCIAL LIFE
When Roads Are In Good Condition
Easy Matter to Drive to Neigh
bors or Elsewhere.
(By W. C. PALMER. AfrHeultura! Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
One of the needs of country life Is
a better social life. It has been found
that good roads are conducive to so
cial life on the farms. When the road
Is good It is an easy matter to hitch
up and drive over to the neighbors,
to church, to the picnic, to the enter
tainment at the school house. The
good road is also followed by a better
school and better home. The better
road also makes the community more
attractive and the better class of peo
ple will want to live there. The good
road also makes it possible to market
the farm produce more easily and
cheaply, and at all times of the year.
These things result In the good road
making Jhe land worth more. The
good road Is to the farm what the
railroad Is to the city.
Seed Corn.
Prof. M. L, Mosher, of the Iowa Ex
periment station, says the newly se
lected seed corn should be hung up
Immediately in a dry, well-ventilated
place, such as a dry cellar, a dry at
tic, or spare room, a dry Bhed or tn
any other dry, well-ventilated build
ing. Do not hang It in a stable over
or near live stock, over oats or corn,
in any damp or close place. In a damp
cellar, In a closed attic, over , a
kitchen, or out in the sunshine.
Culling Out Oto? Sheep.
Any otd sheep la your flock? Turn
them off. Six years old Is enough for
any ewe. You might get one that is
older than that through to grass
again, but you might not. and the loss
would cut quite a figure In the totals
for the year. Put a good sheep In the
place of every old one.
Care of the Farm.
Take lealoua care of your farm
while you are young, and it will sot
fall yon In old age. Love your tarto,
and tha farm will love you.
ROADS BADLY WASHED
Damage More Extensive on
Grades Than Level Stretches.
In Sandy Sections Wash May Be Ef
fectively Stopped by Use of Two
Inch Planks Clay Road Re
quires Different Treatment ,
After hard or prolonged rains, roads
which have been constructed with a
flat surface are often gullied In the
center, or. If the road was well
crowned, the gutters or ditches are
usually badly washed.
As a rule, the damage !a more ex
tensive on grades than on level
stretches. This is because the dam
age In general depends on the velocity
of water, and this, of course, is con
trolled by the steepness of the slope,
says the Fruit Grower and Farmer. If
the water cuts ditches very deep, It
might be advisable to reduce the
grade of the road. If possible, either
by cutting down the summit or filling
at the foot of the hill, or both. It must
be remembered this is likely to be
economical in tho end even if the
first cost seems high, since' it will not
only save on future maintenance, but
will decrease the-. tractive force re
quired to pull a load at this point.
There are, however, many grades
that cannot be changed, because of
local conditions.
In sandy sections, the wash may be
effectively stopped by two-Inch planks
from six to twelve inches wide, and
cut into three-foot sections. These
short planks are sharpened on one
end, and then enough of them to covv
er three feet In width of the gutter or
ditch are driven In edge to dge for a
depth of more than three fest, at right
angles to the grade of the road. II
they are driven in a little more than
flush with the gutter, there Is no dan
ger of the road machine or drag strik
ing them.
In a clay section, It la practically
Impossible to drive a plank three feet
without splintering It The method ol
construction is entirely different from
that described for sandy sections. Old
logs . or railroad ties, if they can be
secured, are better under these condi
tions. They should first bo cut Into
four-foot lengths. Trenches then are
Bunk in the gutters at right angles to
the road, and the tie or log is placed
In the trench. Where the wash is
severe, several logs are placed direct
ly over each other, likn the flash
board In a dam. The top log or tie la
placed at least four inches below the
gutter In order to prevent it from com
ing in contact with a road drag or
road machine in operation. The ties
or logs are placed from 20 to 60 feet
apart, according to the grade of the
hill, and it Is an easy matter to .in
sert one whenever required.
The chief advantage gained by this
use of logs or planks is that deep and
dangerous ditches which are not oniy
a menace to travel, but also make the
road narrow, are removed. When the
planks or logs are used, the entire
width of the road can be used by the
public, and the road is always safe.
Many sand beds that are bad at all
seasons can be improved by mixing
clay with sand by means of a plow
and harrow and then using the road
drag systematically. On the other
hand, many clay sections that are bad
in wet weather can be Improved by
first plowing and then mixing tn sand
by means of the harrow, and finally
using the road drag.
i The King Drag.
The truth of the matter is ttat with
a King drag and a plow a skilful man
can do anything that can be done with
a big four-horse road grader, and for
all around work it is much better as
well as many times cheaper.
The Profit In Milk.
The man who knows how to pro
duce good milk, and who will locate
near a large city, has as good a chance
as any one to make money. He can
get first prices by selling the milk di
rect to those who want it fresh and
willing to pay for it. In addition, hie
farm will pretty surely increase in
value as the city grows..
