For Good Roads.
Where bad roads prevail, farmers
are forced to move their crops not
when the market price is favorable,
but when the roads are fayorable and
frequently at heavy pecuniary loss as
a result, according to the office of
public roads of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington.
In a statement issued today it citel
specific cases of such losses, assert-
ing: }
‘‘Excessive fluctuations in market
prices are seldom due to over produc-
tion They frequently take place in
regions where the local production
does not equal the consumption.
There are counties rich in agriculturai
possibilities, burdened with bad roads,
where the annual incoming shipments
of food exceed the outgoing ship-
ments in the ratio of 4 to 1. :
‘‘Many such counties with improved
roads would not only become self-
supporting, but would ship products
to other markets.”’
At a meeting of the General Federa-
tion of Women’s Clubs in Chicago,
Mrs. Pennypacker, of Texas, who is
president, promised the aid of the
organization in the direction of good
roads. That is the most interesting
and most practical thing done by
women in a good while. The good
roads issue is to the fore, and it is
really much more important than the
question of voting. Not that we wish
to discourage the dear girls who arc
after the franchise—far irom it. We
only desire to say that if the women
will help to make good roads through-
out the country they .will accomplish
a long step in favor of giving them
political equality.
We need good roads. Just now
there is a reactionary spirit abroad
based on the utterly untrue assump-
tion that it is only the owners of auto-
mobiles who want mony spent for
good roads. That is a libel, but it is
a fact that the automobilists have
been able and energetic protagonists
of the new movement to make it
possible for people in the county to
move around easily.
It is a fact that the women of this
country have been the greatest suf-
ferers from lack of transportation
facilities. Those who live in the
country—unless near a great city—
have been condemned to isolation,
which has reacted unfavorably on
their nerves and their temperament.
In the last twenty years two factors
haye been of greater importance.
The suburban trolley has brought
thousands — mi.Jions — into contact
with better civilization. The tele-
phone has reduced the loneliness of
the woman on the farm to a great ex-
tent. But this is only a beginning.
So far it has affected only the peri-
phery of the great and small cities.
When women can drive to town
easily over good roads or run their
own automobile, as many farmers do
now, there will no longer be rural
loneliness. In fact we shall all be
moving to the country.
Our advice to the woman is to keep
up the program for good roads. If
they are efficient in accomplishing
this they can get anything else they
really want.

PROTEC ING TREES FROM
BORERS.
A correspondent asked Prof. H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, for information
concerning protecting trees from
Borers by the use of lime sulphur
solution and also made inquiry
concerning certain other points in
regard to tree protection. As this is
the time of year to make applications
to preyent borers the following reply
by Professor Surface will be found of
value:
‘‘The lime sulphur solution is not
too strong to apply to the trunks of
trees of any kind at . any
time, if applied at what we call ‘‘San
Jose scale strength.’”” I would never
use the concentrated or full strength
solution. I have never known of
injury by this, but it is not neces-
sary to use it so strong. I would
always dilute it with at least four
oi five times in bulk of water, di-
luting from the concentrated strength
of the commercial, or the econcen-
trated home-boiled. What is gen-
erally called ‘‘strong lime-sulphur’’
means the ‘‘San Jose scale strength’’
or Specific Gravity 1.03. :
It can be used at any time of the
year if not applied directly to the
foliage or the yonng growing parts.
For preventing borers. I recom-
mend the San Jose scale strength
with one ounce of arsenate of lead
added to each gallon of the solution,
applied as a spray or wash at the
base of the tree, being sure to use
it abundantly.
I baye not recommended the use
of tarred paper wrapped closely
around the tree at the time of
planting. It is liable to enfeeble the
tree during the summer time. It is
all right to put it around the tree
during the winter. Of course, if
there for the winter time only, it will
not prev nu the borers, but will give
protectivi: trom rabbits or mice.
However, I prefer to do this by
other m. . us.
You cn use arsenate of lead as
strong as tive pounds to fifty gal-
lons of water without injury to the
foliage ot he trees, but it is a waste-
ful use of material. I prefer to use
it not stronger than three pounds in
fifty gallons of liquid, whether this
be water Bordeaux mixture or di-
lute lime sulphur solution.’’
ITCHING IRRITATION.
WORST FORM OF SKIN TROUBLE QUICK-
LY RELIEVED BY INEXPENSIVE
TREATMENT.
When you suffer with any skin trou
ble, even though the itching seems
unbearable, do not think that it is
necessary to use some disgusting,
greasy ointment. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple cream, that is guaranteed
to contain no grease or acids and
which is so cleanly that it does not
soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieye any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin trouble like
pimples, blackheads, acne, barber’s
itch, ete., quickly disappear,
but the worst ulcers of cases of
salt rheum or eczema are clean-
sed and healed by this wonderful
skin food.
In ord: r that any one may try Ho-
kara at small éxpense at S. E. Thor-
ley’s the City Drug Store are selling
a liberal jar at 25 cents and in ad-
dition guarantee to refund the mon-
ey if the treatment does not do all
that is claimed for it. ad
TO CLEAN KNIVES.
For cleaning knives, raw potatoes
are very good to use if the knives
are yery badly stained, writes a New
York Press contributor. Take a raw
potato, cut in half, then dip it in
powdered bath brick and rub the
knives with it.
