Twenty-Five Years’
Experience With This
Kidney Medicine
It is a quarter ota a century since I im-
troduced Dr. Kilmer'’s Swamp-Root to |
my trade and they all speak very favor
ably regarding it, and some friends said |
it is the best medicine they have ever
used. The sale we have enjoyed on the
preparation and the splendid reputation |
that it feels is a positive proof that it is
one of the most meritorious remedies on
the market. Very truly yours,

KEEPING THE CITY ANCIENT
Rothenburg, Germany. Requires That
New Buildings Shall Be Built
in Old Style.
There is less sameness, more per-
sonality, to be found among the differ-
ent cities of the German empire than
in any other great modern state.
Often you can travel a few miles from
one city to another and it is as if you
had crossed an international boundary
and stepped into a new land. This
fact is due in large part to the fact
that German unity came so late. Many
of these same little cities were inde-
pendent and autonomous for as many
centuries as they have been parts of
the German empire for decades. They
have built up a tiny nationalism pe-
cutinr to themselves, flavoring their
Germanism with a spice that is all
thelr own.
Such a city above all others is Roth-
enburg, little red Rothenburg, with its
trim walls and towers, its air of an-
cient sleepiness carefully preserved, its
i0,000 good burghers, who are Rothen-
enburgers before all else, says the Na-
Geographic Magazine. Almost

| One Trouble Caused vy Excessive Wet
{ Weather Is Hard to Manage—Is
| Not Contagious.
|

| Not all hoof disease in cattle is the
| “hoof-and-mouth disease,” There is
| one form of hoof disease which is es-
| pecially hard to manage, which is
| caused by excessively wet weather and
| cattle having to be almost continually
in the mud. We had a case of this
i kind this spring, says a writer in an
exchange, The inner parts of the hoofs
become very sore and tender and will
| finally become rotten, if not cared for
in time,
We had a veterinarian prescribe
| treatment. This was kept up for a
| time without apparent results for the
| better. Then being very busy at corn
planting time, the treatment was neg-
lected and the animal got so it would
walk on the toes, the back part of the
hoof was so tender, We again tried
the treatment, but the animal got
worse and worse until it was a walk-
ing skeleton and could no longer stand
up, wisn we put it out of its misery
and dug a hole for the remains. We
know this was not contagious as the
other cattle were not affected in the
least.
IMPORTANCE OF STRONG RAM
| If Both Male and Ewe Are Weak in
Some Points Weaknesses Are In-
tensified in Lambs.
| A ram is half the flock. A good
ram will impress his desirable qual-
ities on his offspring. The ram must
be strong in the points in which the
| ewes are deficient. It is a well-known
| fact that like begets like, and if
both the ram and the ewe are weak
in the same points these weaknesses
will be intensified in the offspring.
If the flock i% small, a ram lamb
will be all right. If there are more
than thirty ewes the ram should be
two years old.: The ram selected will
| depend upon the type of ewes in the
flock. If the ewes are small and
light-boned, a heavyweight and
heavy-boned
ram with more refinement should be
used if the ewes are coarse-boned
| and rangy.

: Grades.
In designing a public road one of the
most difficult problems to solve proper-
ly is the question of maximum allow-
able grades. In deciding this question,

The slope at which earth will stand
when faced up in a cut or pluced in an
embankment depends (1) on the char-
acter of the earth and (2) on the cli-
In cuts, a good quality of non-
slaking clay usually will stand on a
slope of about 45 degrees, or, as slope
is expressed usually, one horizontal to |
one vertical, even where fairly deep
freezing occurs, and in some of the
Southern states such material has been
known to stand for many years on a
slope of less than one-half to one. On |
the other hand, clay that slakes very |
easily, may require a slope of three to |

one, or even four to one, under the most
favorable condition of climate, but
this latter extreme is very unusual.
The usual slope for clay in cuts is one |
to one in warm climates and one and
one-half to one in cold climates.
While in the case of embankments |
clay usually can be deposited on an
initial slope of about one to one, this
steep slope seldom can be maintained
unless the material is of an exceptional
quality and the climate very favorable.
Ordinarily clay embankments should

should be weighed against the addi- |
tional cost which the reduction
volves.
The following data and suggestions
are intended to aid individual judg-
ment, which necessarily must be the
prime factor in solving this important
prcblem :

than 6 or 7 per cent (six or seven feet

is unnecessary to apply the
vehicles when descending
the grades. But for traffic where loads
are as important as speed, even very
light grades may be of considerable
disadvantage.
2. Increasing the steepness
grade decreases in three distinct ways
the load a horse can haul: (a) for the
same character of surface, the required
tractive effort or pull per ton of load
is increased by about 20 pounds for
each per cent increase in grade, (b)
the possible pull the horse can exert is
decreased by an amount equal to the
effort required to lift his own weight
This amount is ap-
proximately equal to one one-hun-
dredth of the horse's weight for
per cent increase in grade, (¢) the ef-
fective pull of the horse is reduced by
the change in the angle at which the
pull is applied.
3. The pull a horse can exert on a
level road varies greatly with the in- |

manner of hitching and the skill of the

surface also may have an important
influence by affecting the
the horse's foothold.

roads and rural engineering indicate
that, on a level road, average
horses untrained to the road can exert

slopes,
bankment slopes require more
construction than excavation
because any flattening of an embank-
ment slope by the action of weather |
after the road is completed is very |
likely to damage the road surface;
while the sliding in of excavation |
slopes usually does no further damage
than to obstruct the side ditches,
which can be reopened readily.
Sand of average quality usually re- |
one in |
cuts and three to one in embankments,
regardless of climate. Moderately |
coarse sand mixed with gravel will |
stand on a steeper slope than fine
sand, because the former is not meved
so readily by the action of storm wa- |
ter. !
Solid rock excavation usually can be |
done on an average slope of about one-
fourth to one, except where the rock
occurs in sloping strata separated by
slippery clay seams. In the latter case
the average slope may be as much as
one-half to one or three-fourths to one. |
The faces of rock cuts usually are not
dressed down to even an approximate- |
ly smooth slope, as is done in earth |
cuts. In excavating solid rock only
such material is moved as is actually
necessary to obtain the desired width
at the bottom of the cut or as has been
loosened in blasting. The faces should,
of course, be cleared of all material
which is loose, or which might be
loosened subsequently by frost and
slide down upon the road. Stone em- |
bankments usually will on a
slope of about one to one.
In order to prevent damage by wash-
ing all carth slopes in either excava-
tion or embankment should be protect- l
ed by a growth of grass as soon as
practicable after they are formed.
In many localities where the
fertile and a good quality of grass is
native no seeding of the slopes is nec-

essary. In other cases the soil may not
possess sufficient fertility to grow
grass, even when the slopes are seed-
ed. and in which event it may be very
desirable to cover the slopes with cut
sod. This latter process usually is
very expensive, and should be em-
ployed only where it is known that
thorough seeding and fertilizing would
fail to f sod.

secure a covering of
Another precaution frequently neces-

| sary in order to prevent the washing
away of excavation slopes is to inter-
cept water from the nat ground
surface which otherwise would flow
down over the excavation slope. This !
is done by means of a “berm” ditch
constructed well back from the top of
i the slope. Figure i tes a con-
dition which makes ditch

is gond.
