Upon discovering an approach- ing team the autoists must stop off- side and cover his machine witha blanket painted to correspond with the scenery. 2. The speed limit on country roads this year will be a secret and the penalty for violation will be $10 for every mile the offender is caught going in excess of it. 3. On approaching a‘corner where he cannot command a view of the road ahead the autoist must stop not less than 300 yards from the turn, toot his horn, ring a bell, fire a re- volver, hallo, and send up three bombs at intervals of five minutes. 4. Autos must be seasonably painted, that isso they will merge with the pastoral ensemble and not be startling. They must be green in spring, golden in summer, red in au- * tumn and white in winter. 5. All members of this society will | give up Sunday—to—chasing—autes, shooting and shouting at them, mak- ing arrests and otherwise discourag- ing country touring on that day. 6. Incasea horse will not passa car the autoist will take the machine apart as rapidly as possible and hide the pieces in the grass. 7. In case’ a car approaches a farmer's house when the roads are dusty it will slow down to one mile an hour and the chauffeur will lay dustin front of the house with a hand sprinkler worked over the dash- rd.—Ex.

I want the best fence along cornfields for there is where the tests are made. | It’s a good idea to look after them occasionally. A man is safer to carry insurance. Whenever I have considerable grain or hay on hand I have it insured, then | if lightning strikes or fire starts.in | any other way I know the loss will | not fall on me. The time when grading roads should be done will soon be here for this year. After the first of Septem- ber any amount of fresh dirt thrown thrown together hasn’t time to settle sufficiently before freezing weather so there is ‘‘softness”’ all winter. A good many of the bread bakers think new wheat flour is not as good for bread as the old, consequently there isa demand for all the old wheat flour at this season of the year —a fine idea from the miller’s stand- point and it gives him a chance to work off his old stock of flour. Folks are finding that there is no cause for hurry about filling a silo, and that filling it at the rate of a few tons each day day makes just as good silage as to make shorter work of the filling. You can take your own time to it if you want to. A friend of mine who owns an en- gine-plowing outfit thinks hecould do better work and do it easier if he had gangs of disk instead of moldboard plows. He says when it is dry so disk plows pull much easier and pulverize the soil much better. With a good crew, the modern|| aler makes fast work of putting hay in the bale, and where a man owns his own baler, I am not sure but what it is the most economical way of taking care of hay, as it can be quickly handled, requires small space for storage, and in case there is a surplus, it is instantly ready for the market. Raising or lowering the draft on a collar often relieves a Sore that is starting to formona horse’s shoulder. If everyone should see this and keep the hames snug tight on the collar there would be less shoulder trouble. Mail carriers are getting autos in which to carry the mai]. Of course, there will be many days in the course ofthe year when autos cannot be used, but right now, with the ther- mometer close around the 100 mark and the road is hot and dusty, the auto is certainly a great saving on horseflesh. When the cultivators are put away don’t forget to grease the shovels. When we start fall plowing we begin the making of our next year’s crop. Let us see that the plow is sharp and bright and that each furrow is as near perfect as we can make it. Hens that must fight mites day and night are too busy: to pick up feed and lay eggs. Itis no pleasant task to go into a mite-infested hen house and fight them, but it more unpleas- ant to get along without hens and “hen fruit.’”’ Kerosene seems to be taking the place of gasoline for furnishing power for small farm engines. Will this lower the price of gasoline or will it raise the price of kerosene? Time will tell. Whether to haul the manure and it on the stubble and plow it under is a question that is still being discussed. If in doubt, try both ways,. but don’t let the discussion of this or any other question interfere with the work of getting the manure hauled to the field and spread. A manure pile isa nuisance as long as it is a manure pile.. It is generally a mistake to discard old machinery and buy new before the old is worn out, but with the ma- nure spreader the temptation is great when we think of that extra foot that we must lift for every forkful of ma- nure.

MILLER’S BARN GUYTON’S BARN senting a proper ‘“‘front”’ to the trav- elling public will more'than pay for the work. The flies are again the ‘worst ever.”’ Itis a wonder that cows can find time to eat during the day-| time unless they are protected in some way.

The County Court has set the dates for the two days road work, Septem- ber 10 and 11, and appointed a com- | mittee to stimulate, encourage and have some sort of direction of the} work. The Committee suggests that | efforts be made to make these two/ days red letter days as far as the road | work and Bates county is concerned. A letter has been sent to all the! members of the township boards} suggesting that they together with| the road overseers appoint compe- tent men to have charge of certain districts, superintend the work, see that proper tools be provided, etc. |The committee suggests, where.nec- essary, that the road way be cleared | of weeds and brush, that hedges be |trimmed down to five feet (as that is the requirement on county seat to county seat roads), that any moneys donated be used to purchase mater- ial, for concrete culverts, blasting down hills, or any other thing your best judgment suggests. As you will see by the daily papers, the entire state is becomming very much interested and as a result old/ Missouri is going to have better roads and get some mighty good adver- tising.
