Kelly of the THE FARM IMPORTANT Should be Located with Reference to Efficiency of Farm Plant, Construction and Maintenance The private roads on the farm differ in general from the public roads only in the amount and kind of traffic which they carry. The fundamental principles involved are the same. But, as the farm road is called on to bear far less traffic, the ordinary methods of construction and maintenance are so modified and the use of materials so adopted as to meet the special requirements and reduce the cost. To build the farm roads in the same manner as public thoroughfares, which carry much greater traffic in general would be a useless waste of money. The first consideration is the location of the roads about the farm. The roads are a part of the permanent farm plant. Consequently they should be so located as to best serve the purpose for which they are intended, should fit in with the general scheme of the farm, and at the same time should avoid as much as possible places which would require difficult and expensive construction or maintenance. The main consideration, however, must be to secure the highest degree of efficiency from the farm plant as a whole. The earth road is the most common type of farm road and will probably so remain. When properly crowned, drained, and maintained with the split log drag, the earth road, on all but a few exceptional solls or in places immediately around the farm lots and buildings, can be made to answer the requirements fairly well. A little grading will in general give the earth road a crown sloping from the center toward the side ditches at a rate of about 1 inch to the foot, and side ditches of sufficient size to carry away the storm water can usually be constructed without difficulty. If the ground is springy the side ditches may be made deeper, or the ground water may be carried away by tile drains. Roads and drives immediately around the farm yards and barns which are used very frequently are usually of sufficient importance to warrant some surface improvement. Very light or extremely sandy soils cut up badly in dray weather, while certain heavy and absorbent soils become very sticky and soft during the EPIDEMIC. The California state board of health has given a physician of Contra Costa county an opportunity to appear at the next meeting of the board to cause why he should not be prosecuted for falling to report a case of typhoid fever in a milkker employed in a dairy. Twelve customers of the dairy contracted typhoid fever. The outbreak was investigated by Dr. J. C. Gelger and Dr. F. L. Kelly of the board's bureau of communicable diseases, working in cooperation with Dr. Charles R. Blake, health commissioner of Richmond. Had there been supervision of this case at an early stage of the outbreak, many cases might have been prevented, and had the milk supplied to Richmond customers been pasteurized, there would have been no epidemic. The greater part of the milk from this dairy was sent to Berkeley, where thousands of suctomers were supplied, and no case of typhoid fever developed there because the Berkeley supply was pasteurized. At its last meeting, the board began the preparation of a scheme to be used for a working basis in connection with its duties in the enforcement of the act requiring the pasturization of milk, which goes into effect in October, 1916. The state dairy bureau and the state veterinarian also have duties to perform in connection with the enforcement of the act, and the state board of health will cooperate with these departments in outlining plans for carrying out its provisions. The board at its December meeting also decided to encourage the placing of water faucets at convenient places along polluted navigable rivers, in order that a supply of pure water for drinking purposes may be available for steamers, houseboats and campers. THE CONTRAST Secretary McAdoo's fanciful tabulation of Treasury prospects, accompanied by his grotesque suggestions for further burdens of direct taxation, was issued November 26. The secretary lays special emphasis upon the demanded expenditure for national defense—which he sets at about $93,000,000—and shapes his course accordingly. Now, let us suppose that the last republican administration had been confronted with a similar problem on ground is springy the side ditches may be made deeper, or the ground water may be carried away by tile drains. Roads and drives immediately around the farm yards and barns which are used very frequently are usually of sufficient importance to warrant some surface improvement. Very light or extremely sandy soils cut up badly in dray weather, while certain heavy and absorbent soils become very sticky and soft during the rainy season. Where any considerable amount of hauling is necessary, roads over soils of this character may require to be surfaced. Many of the materials ordinarily employed in road construction will be too expensive for use in improving the farm roads. One or more of the following will, however, usually be found available and within the means of the farmer for surfacing his roads: gravel, mixtures of sand and clay, clinders, brickbats from old buildings, brick yard waste, and quarry waste. The material selected should, however, be hard enough to withstand crushing under heavy loads and possess sufficient binding power to compact well and maintain a firm, hard surface under all ordinary weather conditions. Drainage and a good foundation are the first considerations in improving a road with a hard surface. The best possible foundation is a good earth road with a low crown. Earth shoulders may be graded upon each side to prevent the surfacing material from spreading, as in the construction of an ordinary macadam road. On roads where wagons will not be required to pass each other, a width of from 9 to 12 feet between ditches will usually be sufficient. The surfaced portion need rarely exceed 7 or 8 feet. Miss Rosie Osberg was visiting in Los Angeles Saturday. That decision has been reached by County Clerk Williams after further consideration and careful digging into the law in conferences with the district attorney's office. Two weeks ago Williams decided that he would follow the affidavit set down in the statute. That form provides for no statement of party affiliation, it having been passed by the legislature as one of the non-partisan measures. The amendment was not one of those upon which a referendum was taken, so that the deafat of the non-partisan measures that were on the ballot did not remedy the defect in the affidavit. Many of the county clerks of the state have decided to follow the affidavit without showing any party affiliation. Williams has found that the state law requires that upon certain dates before election that he report to the secretary of state the number of registrations of each party. How could Williams follow that law if party affiliation is not stated at registration? The answer is: "It could not be done." The state law also lays out a course for the making of nominations. It states that a person seeking a party nomination must get a nomination petition signed by a certain per cent of voters registered with the same party affiliation as the person seeking the nomination. "I don't see how we could nominate an assemblyman, state senator or United States senator without party affiliation is stated," said Williams. "Even should the courts decide that the statement of party affiliation is not necessary, it can be stricken off whatever affidavits have been made up to the time such a decision is made. A statement of party affiliation cannot harm the rest of the affidavit, and it seems to me advisable to have the blank for party affiliation."

A HALF TOLD TALE Secretary McAdoo made a statement a few days ago in which he settled the present troubles of the treasury department with the statement that the United States would have a balance of $76,000,000 on hand at the close of the present fiscal year, if special taxes and the sugar tariff were re-enacted. He would have made a more important contribution to the symposium on "Whither Are We Drifting?" by comparing that prospective balance with what we have had in the past. June the balance will be as high as $71,000,000. In other words, the administration has spent only $86,000,000 more than the government receipts of the past two years. What would be the status of Mr. McAdoo if the United States were a private industrial corporation, and in answer to a question from the board of directors, he defended the work of that manager on the ground that there was still a working balance half as large as that which was left in the treasury when the former manager was discharged for extravagant methods? What would be his answer when the directors asked him how large the balance would be after two more years of $43,000,000 annual excess of expenditures over receipts? Would not the directors begin to Merry Christmas AND A Happy New Year We wish to thank our many friends for their patronage in past years, and solicit a continuance of the same. Anaheim Dye Works
