woman s Home Companion Gives PraC'
tical Hints on tlie Calls We Cannot
'ell Avoid.
In a practical talk on every
day etiiyfietto in the November
Voinanrs Home Companion the
uutho records tho calls that one
m uslf positively make:
ertain stated calls must be
m&tle. The call at least once a
'car upon those on your calling-
ist; the call after having been en
tertained at dinner or luncheon,
or at an evening entertainment;
the call of congratulation after a
marriage, or a birth; the call of
condolence upon those in sorrow;
the call of inquiry at the liouso of
illness; tho call upon the new
comers into your neighborhood,
or upon a stranger who has been
introduced to you by a friend;
the return call, when a first call
has been made upon you, none
of these can bo evaded. A first
call should be returned within a
wopk, or at tho longest a fort
night; a dinner call, or, in fact,
any others of those named, should
be paid promptly,
"If two womeu cill together,
it is the older of the two who
makes the signal for departure
by rising or giving a significant
glance to her companion.
"There is no need for great
formality of conduct in calling.
The well-bred women who is at
ease in her own house need have
do fear ot appearing awkward in
tho house of another. To come in
quietly after leaving her card at
the door; to spoak, first of all, to
her hostess, then to recognize the
other persons present; to chat
with those nearest the seat she
has taken, avoiding topics which
might lead to argument or discus
sion; to take her cup of tea and
bit of cake or sand witch; to leave
at the end of twenty minutes, or
half an hour after shaking hands
with her hostess, and bowing
farewell to the others present,
here is all that constitutes a
call. A little familiarity robs
calling ot any terrors it may pos
sess for the bashful, or for those
unaccustomed to society; and
who learns it is just the old time
'afternoon visit' with a new
name."
Liquid Crystals.
When the discovery of liquid
crystals was announced some twenty
years ago, many men of science were
very sceptical on the subject, and
thought that some error must bare
been made by the discoverer. Profes
sor Lehmann. It was pointed out that
the very name "liquid crystal" was
solf-contradlctory. Later, the discov
erer continued and extended the study
of these crystals, the genuineness of
which he seems to have established,
although the molecular structure of
the peculiar liquids experimented
with is not clearly understood. Tho
facts appear to be that certain chemi
cal liquids at particular temperatures
exhibit the characteristic crystalline
properties of double rerractlon and
dichrolsm. llut exceedingly small dis
turbing forces sufllce to deform tho
liquid crystals, owing to their slight
rigidity.
Does the Sun ChangeShapeT
One scientist, as the result of much
study on his part of heilometer meas
urements, said to bo confirmed by bo
lar photographs, has made the remark
Bblo suggestion that the sun perlodl
cally changes its figure, being somo
tlmos an oblate spheroid, like tho
earth, with its equatorial diameter ex
ceeding the polar, and sometimes a
prolate spheroid, having a greater
polar than equatorial diameter.
Ills Idea is that the solar globe Is
to he regarded as a vibrating body,
having an equatorial diameter on tho
average slightly in excess of the po
lar, but changing at certain times so
that the ratio of the two diameters is
temporarily reversed. The period of
variability, It Is thought, Ih tho samo
as the sun-spot period. The changes
of flguro, if they really occur, are so
small that only tho most delicate ob
servations can make them manifest.

to proscribe for me."
"There is nothing tho matter,

STOCK

Concrete Trough Eliminating Neces
sity of Stock Drinking Ice Water.
In tho long cold months of winter
tho farmer Is often annoyed by tho
outdoor wator tank or trough freez
ing; perhaps bursting same and at
least causing the stock to drink water
that Is nearly Ice water, which can
not be beneficial to them.
As per Illustration this troublo can
bo overcome with but slight expense
by the construction of a concrete
tank with tho heater molded as a part
of the same.
Tho heater being molded with the
tank, is always ready for use at any
Showing Heating Pipe.
tlmo and can bo employed whenever
needed.
Tho outside dimensions of tank as
illustrated are eight feet eight Inches
long, three feet high and three feet
eight inches wide; the wall are four
Inches thick, g 'Ing the Inside dimen
sions of eight feet lmig. three feet
wide at tho top and two feet six
Inches wldo at tho bottom, with a
depth of 20 Indies. This will be am
ple for the ordinary farm and can be
changed to suit your needs.
Tho chimney Is molded 12 Inches
squaro and four feet high. This can
be Increased If so desired.
For tho outside mold six boards ten
Inches wide and eight feet eight Inches
long, fastened together, three of each,
with clats, muko the two sides. The
end where tho firebox Is located is
made of throe ten-Inch boards three
feet ten Inches long and nailed to
the two sides at the end.
For the firebox maife a box exactly
18 Inches wide, 12 Inches high and 24
Inches long. Place this at the one
end abutting against the side.
For the chimney make a box 12
Inches square and four feet long.
Have this open on one side, set at
the one end in center, and then with
six ten-Inch boards 17 Inches long fin
ish up this end by nailing the ends of
sides to open side of chlmneybox
mold.
For the Inside of tank cut two ten
Inch boards eight feet long, fasten
two of each together with cleats on
Inside; now cut four ten-inch boards
exactly two feet ten Inches long, fast
en two of each together with cleats.
At one- side of each measure is ex
actly three Inches from each end and
The Finished Tank,
draw a line from that to the upper
corner, cutting along this line.
This makes the ends in a level or
wedge shape two feet ten inches
wide at the top and two feet four
inches wide at the bottom. These
are nailed Inside tho two sides, and
If you have used one-inch lumber you
have the correct width, three feet
wide at top and two feet six inches at
the bottom.
In constructing the tank lay a
foundation of small stono covered
with concrete grout. This should bo
from four Inches to six Inches, depend
ing on the soil. Then set your mold
upon this, leaving out the core form
at place.
Now fill this with concrete, tamped
In well to a depth of six Inches. Then
put your flue In place; this can bo
common six-inch stovepipe and extend
to the end of tank and then up to the
end of chimney, as shown in sectional
view.
After you have this in place cover
with concrete to the top of same or
more, about seven inches thick; then
upon tills lay your re-enforcing rods.
After re-enforcing rods are in place
fill with concrete until your depth of
bottom Is exactly 12 Inches from the
foundation. This gives the bottom
about firebox a thickness of four Inch
es, which is ample, and for usual pur
poses three Inches would do.
Place the Inside form of core In
position and fill to the top with con
crete and allow to Btand In the forms
until it begins to harden.

ROADMAKINGF
y -
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS.
By Professor W. C. Palmer, Agricul
tural College, North Dakota.
The value of good roads is often
not appreciated by the farmers as
much as It should be. Of course the
burden of making the better roads
falls directly on them, which Is an
other side to the problem. The aver
age cost of hauling a ton one mile on
the ordinary country roads is 25
cents, while the average price of haul
ing one ton one mile on tho railroads
is three-quarters of 1 cent. In other
words, the cost of hauling Is thirty
throe times as much with team and
wagon as with steam. This has been
accomplished by a number of factors.
Borne of these can be nnd must be
considered In making good roads, that
is, to have a good hard road bed and
to eliminate grades. The railroads do
not as a rule have a grade of more
than 3 per cent.; some of them have
adopted 2 per cent, as the maximum
grade. Two per cent, would mean a
rise of two feet In 100 feet. This
would not be considered much of a
grade on the ordinary road, but this
is the way it works out:
A team enn exert a pull of a short
distance of one-half Us weight, but
for ordinary work tho load It can pu
should not be over one-tenth iho
weight of the team. For Instance, a
team weighing 3,000 pounds can ex
ert a pull of 300 pounds that is,
when It Is to continuo the work for,
say, ten hours; while for a small
stretch it would bo able to exert a
pull of 1,500 pounds. This, however,
Is putting forth all the energy of
which they nro capable. It has also
been found that the puli, required to
take a ton over the ordinary roads is
JC0 pounds. Supposing, then, thnt
the loud Is one ton and the wagon
weighs 1,300 pounds; this would make
a total of 3,300 pounds, and at the
rale of 1G0 pounds per ton would
make a total of 24 pounds a Httlo
less than the team Is capable of haul
ing. In fact, it could very nicely han
dle 500 pounds more, which would
bring the pull up to 300 pounds, and
making the load 2,500 pounds. This,
however, is for the level. As a grade
is approached this, of course, will be
Increased. A 5 per cent grade would
lncreuse the draft of the wagon and
load of 3,300 pounds by 315 pounds,
bringing It up to 679 pounds, which is
almost twice what the team can han
dle as a regular thing. If the grade
Is increased to 20 per cent, or twenty
feet In a hundred feet, the draft on
this same load would come to a lit
tle over lJjOO pounds, or the maxi
mum that tills team could pull when
exerting Its utmost power. Any grade
beyond this would mean that the load
would have to be reduced, and in fact
no team should be required to have to
pull to its maximum capacity. From
this, then, It is evident that Increas
ing the grade Increases the draft very
fast and hence grades should be
eliminated as far as It Is possible.
On a macadam roatl a team can pull
three times as much on the level as
on a good earth road, but the in
crease In draft upgrade remains the
same as on the earth road so that a
grade would be more objectionable on
a macadam road than on a poor road.
On the level a 3,000-pound team could
easily handle four tons, while tho
maximum grade that It could pull up
with such a load would be a 10 per
cent grade, and even that Is more
than should be expected from tho
team.
There Is a very marked 4endency
in the weBt of running roads on the
section lines. This is good where the
land Is level, but where there are hills
it is usually advisable to go around
rather than to go over them, at least
where this can be done, and thus
avoid a steeper grade. There is also
this objection to cuts and fills that It
brings up a soil that Is not good for
roadmaklng and one that washes
easily, and the expense of cutting
down hills is usually greater than
would be the cost of buying a right-of-way
around the hill and thus avoid
the grade. Railroad engineers will
make considerable curves In the roads
In order to avoid grades, and they
have the problem very carefully
studied out, and they will often make
a detour cf a good many miles in or
der to avoid a grade.
Having to haul the produce from
the farm to the market over a poor
road adds to the cost or production,
and again a good road that can be de
pended on in all seasons brings the
farmers several miles nearer town,
aud it also increases the value of the
land considerably, as tho buyer will
pay quite a bit more for land that
he can reach with a good road than
for land that Is hard to reach on ac
count of poor roads, duo either to
steep grades or to the poor quality of
tho roadbed. The main thing in a
new country, however. Is getting the
roads laid out in the right place, as it
Is not an easy matter to change them
after they have once been established
and money expended on them.

Rabbits and Mice Injuring Trees.
Much injury is annually caused
by mice aud rabbits which eat
the bark from the trunks of
young fruit trees in the or
chards of the state during the
time snow covers the ground in
winter. The following letter
from Prof. Surface, Economic
Zoologist, to a correspondent,
on this subject, may be found of
use to others:
"Replying to your letter ask-
ing for information concerning
the best wash to put on your
troes to protect them from mice
and rabbits, I can say that there
is nothing better than the lime
sulfur solution, boiled with the
sediment in it, and applied with
a brush, or with a spray pump
by removing the nozzle from the
end of the extension rod, and
forcing the liquid out in a jet di
rectly over the trunk of the tree.
For this purpose I prefer the
old fashioned 17-22 50 home
boiled formula, because of the
sediment that is thus left, and
which becomes important for
protection. By this formula
I mean, boiling one hour, seven
teen pounds of sulfur and twen
ty two of lime, in enough water
to boil it, and afterward adding
water to make fifty gallons.
This as a spray formula hr.8 been
abandoned for the Cordley for
mula for making concentrated
lime sulfur solution,
The concentrated formula con
sists of boiling two pounds of
finely divided sullur of any com
mercial kind with one pound of
good fresh quick lime of any
kind, for one hour, in one gallon
of water. This is to be strained
and stored as long as desired,
and when used, add seven times
its bulk of water. The advan
tage of the new formula is the
absence of sediment, and that it
can be stored without crystal
lization. "In treating your trees to pre
vent mice and raobits you need
the sediment present, but the old
formula should be used at once
after making it. With the new
formula it can be stored as long
as you wish.

trees could be protected from
