Come on Time.
Select Seed Corn This Fall.
Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew be
cause only then, with certainty can
the seeds be obtained from
(1) Stalks that have a tendency
to yield well as shown by their supe
riority over surrounding stalks that
grew under the same conditions.
(Such seed inherits high producing
power.)
(2) Stalks without suckers. (Such
seed produces fewer suckers than
seeds from sucker-bearing stalks.
(3) Storm-proof stalks with ears
at a desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as
soon as it matures because
Desirable stalks, especially early
maturing stalks with hanging ears
are then most easily found.
Freezing weather injures the seed
before it becomes dry.
Warm, wet weather may cause ker
nels to sprout before drying.
If the selection is delayed in the
South the ears may become infested
with weevils, grain moths, and their
eggs. . . .
It is as easy, more satisfactory
and much more profitable than se
lecting from cribs in the spring.

TRACTOR AIDS ROAD MAKING
Successfully ?Bed In New Hampshire
In Conjunction With Regulation
Road Machin?.
In AtMnson, N. H, the farm tractor
has been successfully used in making
and prcpairing roads, doing away with
horses.
A 20-hoTse-powCT tractor, as shown
In the picture, was used In conjunc
tion with the regulation road machine
for rounding off the surface of the
road and cleaning ont gutters. It was
found that the tractor not only easily
does the work of six or eight horses,
but better and In less time. Two men
only are required as compared with
four required with the former system.
Besides, double the ground ls covered.
When the tractor ls used with the
road drag, one man, driving the trac
tor, can round up and smooth as ?gjaeh

cartloads of gravel in the same time
that a two-horse team requires for one
load. Figured In dollars and cents,
the tractor could easily do $24 worth
of work at a cost of only $S, with an
additional saving of from 25 to 50 per
cent In time.-Popular Science Month
ly.
RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
!t Should Include Everything From
Expensive Concrete to Minor
Dirt Wagon Ways.
What we need and In time will have
Is a system of highways which will
ramify from the largest cities to the
doorway of the humblest citizen-vil
lager or farmer. Such a system of
highways will include trunk 'lines wtfh
expensive concrete or hrick surfaces
for the very heavy traffic. Including
trucks and automobiles. Less used but
important roads may be of waterboUnd
macadam or gravel. Perhaps iE^.^pr-;
tain regions where stone and gravel
are not at hand oiled roads may prove
most economical and practical. Minor
wagon ways must remain of native
soil, built and maintained with the
road drag. Meanwhile antagonism to
road dragging breeds In a lack of in
formation or a narrowness which fails
to comprehend the facts.-D. Ward
King. ,YT-;"'' :r;:;.^:i:
BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS
Make lt Possible to Consolidate and
Establish Graded Schools in Ru
ral Districts.
(Propared try the united States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That improved roads would benefit
our country-school system there would
seem to be no doubt Good roads make
lt possible to consolidate or centralize
the schools and to establish graded
schools in the rural districts. Such
schools centrally located will accom
modate all of the children within .a
radius of four or five miles. In many
communities having the advantage of
Improved roads commodious buildings
have been provided, more competent
teachers employed, and modern facili
ties for teaching supplied at a mini
mum cost
EXPERIMENTS TO BE TRIED
Temporary Improvement of Sand
Roads to Be Made by Use of Straw,
Hay or Wire Grass.
For the first time an experiment In
temporary Improvement of deep sand
roads by use of a ?.arpet of straw, hay,
or wire grass, sprinkled with tar or
bituminous produce, will be tried on
Wisconsin highways In the vicinity of
Ria. Columbia county. It is hoped to
devise methods which will flt the road
for travel at small expense, and lt Is
predicted that this straw carpet will
last three years where traffic is not
heavy- Other experiments In resur
facing highways are to be tried on
the Baraboo-KIlbourn road. Thirty
four hundred sections have been
staked out, and treatment of each
will be different.
Road Posts in Ohio.
Main roads and cross roads In Ohio
will be marked with cast iron posts
carrying enameled signs. The designs
for these posts have been approved.
CJounty commissioners will be asked
to send a list of all the signs needed
in their country.
Still Want Good Roads.
The day when the airplane shall suc
ceed the automobile ?s a means of lo
comotion probably will find many oom
munlties still talking about building
hard surface roads.

FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother's Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.
Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston,
of this place, writes: "I am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
lt was one of our family medicines.
Also In my mother's home, when I
was a child. "When any of us child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would bave malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. "We would not be without it,
for lt certainly h?s saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which, lt
now enjoys ls proof of ita merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
end unless something ls done, serious
trouble may result
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts In a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing tbe bowels of
Impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed
lord's, the original and genuine. B 7?
