Opinions differ, as the cost of the labor Is sometimes greater than the gain made by reducing the feed. It Is claimed that If grain Is ground there Is a saving of one-third, and that fifteen pounds of hay when cut up tine will be inure serviceable than twenty pounds ttneul. Cutting the hay permits of mixing with It not only ground grain, but Unseed or cot tonseed meals, Ailvniitnava of I.nnax Top Soil.

Aluniluiim Is also a good conductor and the low price at which It Is produced com pared with a few years ago hppiuh des tined to bring it Into favor for tills purpose. The best frrm of rod Is that of a ribbon, say, one-eight li of nn inch thick by three-quarters or cue Inch wide, In redding a building the points should be not over forty feet apart and stand six feet above the roof. They should be connected along the ridge and the rods run to the ground on each end of the building. Sharp turns must be avoid ed lu erecting a conductor, for electri cal charges prefer to go In a straight line through the nlr rather than turn corners. The rod can be raised above the root ami away from the building by glass or porcelain insulators. Unless the wire Is well grounded the equipment will not prove satisfactory. The conductor should be attached to a ground plate of copper having at least twenty-live square feet of sur face, Including both sides. An old copper boiler flattened out. makes n cheap and effective ground plate. This must be burled lu damp earth, aud If possible should bo located near a spring or stream. It the rods are also connected to the water pipes a better ground connection will be made. Moist soil Is the only kind which will con duct electricity, and if the plate cau- uot be put In soil that Is naturally moist, provision must I e made to wet It occasionally. American Agrlcultur 1st.

(ood Joads jotes UTTT ! l 'Si Who Shall Fay Fur Tlirni 1 HK great reason why we I 111 the United States Is that we have left it to Hip farmers nlonp to build them. TblH Is wrong. It Is absolutely Impossible for the fanners alone to provide a system of good roads. The cost Is al together too great, nml unless substan tial help Is furnished them, upon some reasonable basis, progress in road building will continue to be slow aud unsatisfactory," says (Mto Horner, Chairman of the I.. A. W. Highway Improvement Commit lee. "The help which the farmers re quire lu building roads should come from the cities. The cities are thu great centres of wealth; they are the great markets in which business .s done the great distributing points for manufacture mid for agricultural products. Agricultural America hns built them up and maintains them. The union between the cities and farming districts Is close, upon a huu dred different channels of trade. Kach depends upon the other. What is more proper, therefore, than that the city should unite with the country In constructing ami maintaining suitable and efficient means of communication and transportation? "There need be no doubt that the taxpayers of most American cities nre willing -ml ready to contribute to the cost of building country roads. Their necessity Is as thorough realized lu the cities as It Is by the farmers who become stalled on a muddy road with a load of grain hauled half way to market. City people know the coun try better than they have ever known It before, nnd their business relations with country people are growing more and more Intimate. They are quick to see the convenience and savings which would result from thp construction of good roads, and know that they them selves would lie, lu large measure, the gainers. "But how can a tax bo levied upon city property for expenditure In coun try districts for road building pur poses? A city tax Is out of the ques tion, as much so as It would be to levy a town tax upon farm property for building sewers In a distant city. True, a county tax might be levied, a large share of which would be paid by the cities situated lu the county, and which might be used for tho build ing of roads In any locality within the county. But this Is not sulllelent, especially In the case of large cities like Chicago, New Y'ork, Cincinnati St. Louis, Minneapolis and Baltimore. Their Interests extend far beyond the counties lu which they nre situated; Indeed, tho cities themselves coustl tute the greater part, or nearly all, of the tax-paying property Included In these counties. They tuny properly contribute to the cost of building roads lu all the territory from which they draw their trade. I he best method yet devised for levying taxes upon city property for the purpose of building country ronds Is by the medium of a State tax. This Is levied upon city nnd country prop erty alike, upon nil classes of people so that every locality, every taxpayer, contributes proportionately, according to the amount of property owned, tho wealthy property owners contributing tne largest amounts. iwiiHsaehusettH, New Jersey, New lork and Connecticut nre probably the States which have mnde the great est progress In country road building. They have all levied State highway taxes, and have built roads by a sys tern of State aid. While the rate of taxation has been low, the amount collected has been considerable. In New York $50,000 were collected by a State tax of one and one-tenth cents upon every thousand dollars assessed valuation, and four-fifths of the wholt amount was collected in the cities where most of the property lu the State is situated. "The State aid system does not iu terfere lu any way with present meth ods of road building, but simply pro vldes a means by which an euterprls mg country community, desiring to possess first-class highways, may ob tain financial assistance for the pur pose from the cities. The State docs not pay for building such roads, but simply contributes to their expense, Just us It contributes to the cost of ninlntalulng public schools, which nre conducted by the local school officials, but which, to receive such State as sistance, must be up to a certain standard." General Mllaa on Mood lloaiU. General Nelson A. Miles tells the story of an old teamster out West who was driving over a very rough road in the Itocky Motintalus shortly after the Ueronlino campalgu. He had the general for a passenger. The wngou was an old prairie schooner, without springs or cushions, and the general was vainly attempting to fall asleep. "But there was no sleep for me oil that trip," says General Miles, "for the old rased drove over every bowl der In the road.-'iu fact, he seemed to be doing It purposely. Finally I be came Interested and began to count the number of rocks over which the wheels of the wagon pist-ed or which they struck. Suddenly, to my con sternation, he missed one-a huge bowlder lu the middle of the roadway. "'Whoa! Hey!' I cried. 'Hack up! Back up!" "Ho quietly followed my Instruc tions, seeming to be not at all sur prised by them. When he had his wagon lu the proper position I said, 'Now, drive over that rock, confound you! It's the only oue you've missed. ' "Without so much as a glance lu my direction, he replied: 'Cert, pard. Never noticed it.

EXPENSES JDF ARMY CADETS low the TVanti of the Country' Fulnra flenerata Ar Supplied.

He Is charged for cleaning and scrubbing his quar ters just as if they were tinted by thr month In an ordinary office building and If any of the furniture br the tlx tures or the building suffer damage he Is required to puy for It. There Is, of course, a reason for all this. People tlo not Invent trouble without sonie motive, and no doubt the commendable purpose of the olli clal who Invented this system oi charges was to teach care and econ omy to the cadets. Whatever is left from the salary of a cadet after charg ing him with all these Items remain to his credit nnd Is paid to him when ever ho goes on a furlough or when he graduates, which Is, of course, an Iu d (icemen t for him to be as careful as possible In his expenditures. Further more, the knowledge that everything that Is broken or 'njured is charged against him makes him careful of Gov ernment property. For example, a cadet Is required to pny for all the stationery nnd soap that is Issued to hlin. .ils dipper and his broom cost twenty cents each, and, although these are small Items, it Is probable that many cadets take better care of their dippers aud their brooms and are more economical In the use of their station ery than they would be if such sup plies were a free gift of tho Govern ment. Lust yenr it cost each cadet fifty three cents per day for his board, aiid they are fed very well for that money. Some of tho cadets are so careless and extravagant in spending their al lowance' that when the time comes for them to take a furlough they have to appeal to their friends for money to pay their railroad fare and buy them citizens' clothing to wear during their vacation. Chicago Itecord. Kwolullon and Our Flag-. There were various flags with differ ent, designs combined with the Unglish Hag used up to the time of the grand union flag-raising at Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 2, 1770, when they uufurled the first thirteen stripes, emblematic of the union of the thirteen Colonies against the oppressive acts of Great Britain. The last symbol of loyalty abandoned was the Kngllsh flag. Gen eral AVashlugton designed a new flag in May, 1770, with the thirteen stripes, seven of red nud six of white, and iu the upper corner a blue field contain ing thirteen stars. It was made by Mrs. Betsey Boss, of Philadelphia, but was not adopted by Congress until the 14th of June, 1777, when our flag was flung as a new constellation to the world. The stripes have never In creased lu number, but the stars, each representing a State, have Increased to the number of forty-five. Kach of the States of our Union has a flag of Its own, emblazoned with the arms of the State; this flag Is carried by the militia or In parades side by side with flic national standard. Thus through n process of evolution our flag has come down to us. not as a relic, but as part of our Inheritance. All from the least to the greatest can without boasting, but still with nation al pride, exclaim "Our flag" "Long may It wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" Self Culture.

You can Imagine my surprise when, Instead of horse feed, there rolled out dollars and half dollars. In the moment that It took me to regain my breath from the shock occasioned by finding more than I could carry off, the sergeant major of the Fourth cavalry came up, and as he happened to know where the colonel was, reached him and reported the find as his own before I could find the colonel. The money was turned over to Gen. Schwan, and I have learned since that the sergeant major was given a part of It. I have gathered up coins from nearly every country of the world. While I was on the south line we came upon a large stone cross away up In the mountains, and at the bottom of the cross was a crack thre Inches long and one wide. We camped there that night, and as I was sitting near by I noticed several natives drop some thing like money. When they had gone I tried to get into It but could not That night some one tied some horses to the cross and It fell down, reveal Ing a hole nearly deep enough for a mnn to stand erect In. which contained about eight bushels of pennies, which had been accumulating there for hun dreds of years, no doubt, for I found several old coins, the oldest hearing the date of 1304.
