Nov. 2?th 11M4H. _JJL1L _ . . ?? ?.UI'JiHJ GOOD ROA!)?L According to promise, made aUHi week, we want to give you ?b this issue a few of oui* ideas iis to bow feud roods may be vbtai-ned. it will be remembered that we .wa? Ibis year a candidate for a ?eat iu the lower Louse of the % ^General Assembly of ?>outh Caroliuu. Duriug our canvass throughout the couuty for this office, we took the position that the problem of good roads could ' only be settLed by the imposition 4>f a direct tux ou property, and 4 he inauguration of a contract L_J?y8teu>4 each contractor being ?boududlodo his work to the satisfaction of a board of compe tent road eugiueers. We believed then, as we be-j iieve umv4 that those whose ve hicles cut up, aud otherwise put our roads out of repair should /|?ay Tor their repair and making. .Naturally then, it is the owner of property who should bear the A>urdeu of tins tax as he is more vitally iuterested than any others. We do not believe in the man av ho owns nothing being assessed what some call a computation tax of $1., $2 or Z'd to assist in keep ing up or making roads for the ibeuelit of the owners of two to ten or mure vehicles in their own right, with perhaps fifty more operated in their interest. This exactly expresses our position. Let property pay the tax. Under a safe and saue sys tem of awarding contracts, that tax will not be burdensome, and niter the lapse of two or three ^years it will become merely nominal. We want that road tax on in dividuals killed outright, except' ang those taxpayers who return vehicles tut no real property. Assess this class say, fifty cents jper buggy, seventy five cents per one horse wagon, and one dollar per two-horse vehicle, the proceeds to bo applied to the working of the roads in the township, not district, iu which the tax is levied. Iu our judgment, a law framed Somewhat along these lines will give us an ideal road law. farmer's Telephones. A telephone is not an expense, if is a meuns of reducing ex pen. ?es. Ii is a time saver, a social Jielp and an economv that no (household should bo without. It ihas no substitute on the farm, ft is tcy the fanner even more Chan it is to the merchant. Ii keeps him in touch with the jnurUets, the physician, his neighbors and the city. When lie buys a telephone he wants the best for it is the cheap est in the cud. "Good equip ment and good services" should 4)0 his motto. And it is if he be ? wise. If your telephone service is poor, tuti We a l?iol< to those in Authority If there is something wrong in the equipment see that it is righted. There is no ex 4 use for a poor tele|thone ser vice. A Valuable Illut. Everyone knows that barn yard manure is a valuable ferti lizer. But not every one knows that to got the most out of its value it must be applied lightly aihI frequently. Nitrogen, one of the most valuable elements in manure, is a very unstable part. It easily -escapes by leaching or fermenta tion and heating. Some have a notio^i that to |?row big crops the land must bo jnunuroit heavily every three or lour y*ar?. They suve up ma rure lu big piles and once a year haul It out to the fields, each field getting an application in its turn. The hired man i? in #lrjic*cil !.o "Tbrow it 00 tbicU" / und ?o he just forks the maoure OMtOH to the Isixl until U lies la * thick eoetiog. The trouble with Chut method Ues iu the fact that so <noch value leaches away iu the pile or else fire* fangs, ?nd it way more readily ieaeh away iu the field if it is slightly roiling. The itoanure spreader is al* most iudispensible in the hand ling of manure. Taking the manure right from the barn as fast as a load accumulates and spreading it thinly over, th? fields, especially meadows that are soou to be plowed, the land gets every bit of the food ele ments in the manure. It thus goes further, feeds more fields and does it belter with less waste. 1/ Helps in Case of Accidents. Burns and scalds. ? Cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloth over it.

The wn^ou went into a mud hole and the horses could not draw it out, although they devoted all their energies and talents to the taslc. Then the man tool: a whip with a braided l;ish that would cut through shoot iron and pro oceded to Hay his - horses, lie | larruped away until he was tired j and the horses plunged and j reared but did not move the load, I so the patient and strenuous I driver took it shovel from the | wagon and began pounding the ; horses' ribs, keeping time, time, tune, in a soil of lluuic rhyme. With long and swinging strides there came a woman down tin? 1 street; she look in the situation 1 at a glance, and, without wasting time in argument or expost illa tion, seized the shovel and batted the man over the head, which j Icnociced him into the mudhole, .and pounded him until he yelled I lor the police. 11 there should be any tallc 'or ' sending a bouquet to that woman J the Uiizctte would like to con j tribute a few posies. ?

The story is told of a farmer j who went into a hardware store where bicycles were sold and bo cause he was looking at a wheel the merchant urged him to buy one. "No,'" said the farmer, "I'd rather have a cow." "You'll look mighty nice rid | fti^T a cow, wouldn't you?" re marked the merchant. "And I'd look mighty nice milking a bicycle, wouldn't 1?" i replied the the farmer. j Kach man saw the ridiculous i side of this propositon. What |a pity more do not. You can j ti nd any number of farmers who i would make just as much milk jiuga bicycle as from milking ! certain cows they keep. Hut 'they don't see how ridiculous il. is to milk a good-for-nothing cow 100 or more times a yo:;r. 1 Jet tor milk or attempt 10 1 milk a bicycle than fool away1 time and money on some cows. jTne bicycle doesn't eat any feed, and bostdod that, is useful fori other purposes if not as a milk I producer. Not so the good lor- i nothing cows, They can't bo ridden, are no good at anything, are a constant expense. Ari' you milking that kind of a cow? Sure now? Have you over made that test to tied out? If you haven't there is a long I chance Uiat some cows in jour herd tue fool tug you. The Breeder. lie roust lcnow his business. Breeding is something different from just raising market hogs. Some ure not adapted to that line. It. tutces un artistic eye, an observant mind, persistent cure, good judgement and good business. If any of tlies-e traits are lackiug don't become a breeder. The farmer who is raising 30 or 40 hogs can well afford to pay from $30.00 to ?40.00 for a good sire. In most cases the fat show hog makes a poor sire. Sa.ue is ti ue of breeding sows. ?* * * iiogsTliat Mnlcc Meat. The hog raisers of Kansas station made a test to show what uind of a hog grows the best meat. The weight of hams in the test were as follows. Berkshire hams, twenty -three and one-half pounds; %l)uroc Jersey; twenty-four and one half pound; Poland Chinas, twenty ^ive and one-half pounds. These hogs in size were as near the same weight as possible to get tlivm The shoulders of the lie"Kshires weighed t wenty-one and one half pounds; Dnroe Jer seys, .nineteen and one half pounds, and Poland Chinas, nine teen and one half pounds The Berkshire* have larger shoul der then t he other breeds. The butcher who saw the hogs slaughtered thought the Duroc Jersey had the most fat on the hack; the Poland-China next, then the Berkshire. The Berk shire ham s!io veil more lean and less fat' than the Poland China The butchers considered the breed of hogs that had the most fat the most profitable hog, both for the farmer and the butcher.

They keep crowding and lighting I lor higher positions. For material a 1x2 strip with upper corners beveled, using the llat side up, so fastened that the roosts may be easily taken out and cleaned. They should be a trifle shorter than the dropping board. Dropping board. This is a i tight board platform about H inches below the roosts to catch the droppings, This allows space beneath lor the fowls with out walking mi the tilth. The d l opping board should be cleaned frequently and sprinkled witii some good insect killer. The nests. These should be individual boxes so that they may be taken out and treated I'o^ insects.

There will be less lighting and egg eating | if the nests are not conspicuous jail i he time. Fresh material i should be provided frequently. For heavy hens do not leave the nests way up on a high shelf. * * * Ileus nt tlm Ha in. There is no better place for the liens during the day than j Mm barn, but they should ne.'cr be allowed to roost, there or be] there during the feeding time.
