Of all weaves, twill Is one of the
most satisfactory. It is a firm, com
pact cloth which wears well and keeps
its shape better than many of the
other weaves do. Some people con
sider it better-looking. It lias this one
drawback: although twill cloth seems
to stay clean longer than a plainly
woven cloth does, because the dirt is
not so immediately noticeable, it Is
harder to clean.
Even so, for all-around purposes,
one does well to choose the time-defy
ing twill.

“Mamma, do Mr. and Mrs. Brown
still play in the band? Will they play

“Why, Tommy, Mr. and Mrs. Brown
don't play in the baud. Why do you
ask such a question?”
“Because,” said the terror, In dis

Single Track for
- Highways Favored
Step Taken for Construction
of Permanent and Eco
nomical Road System.
Sometimes the financial resources of
a community do not permit the con
struction of the necessary mileage of
standard width pavement. To such n
community durable construction Is as
important Is it is to communities more
favorably situated financially. In fact,
limited funds increase the necessity
for permanent, economical, mainte
nance-free highways.
Step Toward Permanent Road.
Some of the communities confront
ed by this problem have met their
needs through the construction of half
width, single-track concrete pave
ments. By this method they have pro
vided n high-class, hard-surfaced road,
capable of carrying traffic 3(55 days
of the year. A step lias thus been
made toward the construction of a

"permanent highway system, and every
cent used lias been invested toward the
completion of that system.
When traffic demands It and when
additional funds are available, n sec
ond, trip of single-traffic road can be
placed alongside the first strip. When
thnt time comes the second half of
the full width pavement can he laid
without Interrupting traffic, which will
continue to use the first half without
interference as before. ‘No detours
will he required. In the menntlme the
single-track roads help the develop
ment of the community, cut down
transportation costs, reduce mainte
nance requirements, In short, render
the service typical of a concreto road.
Not Good on Through Routes.
On through routes, carrying a heavy
volume of traffic, single-track roads
are sure to he a disappointment. Bat
on secondary routes and on highways
in sparsely settled or undeveloped
regions they furnish the means for
more Intensive development of i lie
community resources and constitute a
permanent part of a highway system
which will serve Its community and
state through succeeding generations.
Over 1,200 miles of this type of
concrete road had been built in the
United States.
Eradicate Tuberculosis
New Mexico Is expecting to find
the eradication of tuberculosis from
its cattle a comparatively easy and
inexpensive task, according to reports
made to the United Stutes Depart
ment of Agriculture. In the greater
part of the state probably no more

large areas are thought to he prac

able that in many of the stutes of the

Prepare Ground Properly
If the orchard land Is not broken
when your fruit trees arrive, do not
be misled by the thought that It is nec
essary to set the trees at once and
neglect to prepare the ground properly.
Simply bury the roots of the trees
deeply In well-drained soli until you
have everything In reudlness for plant
ing. With this treatment, trees will
keep In perfect condition for several
weeks or more.

Bad Business to Use
Weevilly Bean Seed
Even If Cleaned Good Crop
Cannot Be Produced.
Don’t plant beans which have been
infested with the bean weevil, Is the
advice of the New York College of
Agriculture at Ithaca, which point*
out that even If the beans have been
cleaned of the living weevils by fumi
gation, the percentage of germination
Is likely to lie low and the plants
which do come up may be weak.
The college authorities say thnt in
festation by the bean weevil may take
place either In the Held or ir the bln.
With the pen weevil, Infestation occur*
only in the field.
To destroy the weevils, the henna
should be fumigated with carbon bi
sulphide in the fall. It Is best to use
a very tight box or barrel, tightly cov
ered.
From one-half to one ounce of car
bon bisulphide for each bushel of
beans will be needed. The liquid
should he placed in some shallow dish,
such as a pie tin, on top of the beans.
The cover should be put on and the
fumigation be allowed to continue
from 24 to 30 hours, with a tempera
ture of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The
treatment cannot bo relied upon at
lower temperatures. Carbon bisul
phide Is very lullnmmnble and should
not be brought near a fire.
Losses of Little Pigs
Can Be Greatly Reduced
More than 35 per cent of the spring
crop of pigs died before weaning
time, according to a recent study
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in co-operation
with the state colleges on IGS farms
In Indiana, Illinois, and lowa. A total
of 18,837 pigs were farrowed on these
farms In the spring und 6,741) of them
died before weaning. The heaviest
loss was 2,844, killed by being over
laid. Lassos from this cause could
have been greatly diminished by us
ing guard rails and less-bedding In
the farrowing pens.
I’lgs dead when farrowed numbered
1,373. Use of better breeding stock
and better feeding of the sows would
have aided materially In preventing
this loss ns well as the 571 that were
farrowed weak. Better housing and
better care would have saved 405 that
were chilled.
In Planting Fruit Trees
Provide Space for Roots
In planting a fruit tree dig the hole
plenty large enough to accommodate
the roots. Hoot pruning Is of little Im
port once since enough root surface has
already been removed in digging the
trees from the nursery row. Any long
roots may be shortened and rough ends
pruned hack, hut otherwise no prun
ing Is required. The tree Is placed in
the hole about an Inch deeper than it
grew in the nursery and slightly
leaned in the direction of the prevail
ing wind.
The most important tldng In plant
ing a tree it to pack the soil firmly
around the roots. This should be
tamped down very hard, putting the
top soil next to the roots and the
oilier soil on top.

Useful Plants Run Wild
and Become Grave Pests
There are numerous eases where
useful plants have become weeds
because they were moved to places
where conditions were favorable for
their rapid spread and develop
ment. Johnson grass Is very use
ful in the South to protect the sides
of levees much as quad; grass and
western wheat grass was formerly
used to protect railway embankments.
Once Introduced Into cultivated fields
where the roots are widely scattered
by machinery, the above useful grasses
at once become serious pests.
Fviulch for Young Trees.
A mulch of straw or coarse manuro
around the young fruit trees is wonder
fully beneficial. The great objection
Is that mice get In It and gnaw the
hark. This danger can be avoided by
keeping the mulch three or four inches
uway from the tree.
Tree Must Have Cars.
Let no farmer plant a fruit tree nr.d
stop with the planting. That would
be os unprofitable us to plant corn and
not go near It until harvest time.
Cut Out Blight Cankers.
These are the days when the fruit
man should get Into the orchard and
cut out the blight cankers from trunk,
limbs and brandies.
Protect Manure Heap.
Keep the manure under shelter un
til It can be hauled to the fields.
Keep on Planting Thistles.
Thistles never yet bore roses, and
still lots of us keep on planting them.
