Whenever the road drag has been tried and pronounced a failure It is safe to say that it was not used often enough or else It was used at the wrong time or tn the wrong way. Some operators seem to think that all they hnve to do Is to drive the team and the drag will automatically do the work, but this is a sad mistake. In the first place the manner of hitching the team to the drag greatly r" - v, It It o Operating a Road Drag. affects its operation. If a short hitch Is used the tendency Is to raise the front edge of the drag, while a longer hitch makes it cut deeper and move more material. The correct length of hitch to use depends upon the height of the team, arrangement of harness, etc., and must be determined by triul. The amount of skew or angle which the drag makes with the center line of the road also affects the results. The greater the skew (I. e the small-er the angle between the drag and the center line of- - the road) the more earth will be moved toward the cen-ter. Usually this skew angle should be about 45 degrees, but here again the Judgment and, experience of the operator must be brought Into play. The driver can control the opera-- 1 tlon to a large extent by shifting his position upon the drag. When he ap-proaches a high spot in the road he can step toward the front, thus mak- - j Ing the blade cut deeper, while at a depression he can step toward the j rear,!n this way raising the cutting edge and dumping the earth which Is j , being pushed ahead of the drag. By stepping toward the end of the drag j nearest the center of the road he can : increase the skew and so move more earth toward the center line, while stepping to the otner end of the drag has the opposite effect. In road drag--' ' glng it is especially true that "prae- - tlce makes perfect" provided that com-- ! mon sense is used along with the practice.

McNeeley) If you value the life of your dog very highly you had better see the dog tax collector before he comes up missing some of these bright mornings. : . The rapidity with which over $100 was raised the other even-ing in Bingham for the four boys who were leaving for service in " Uncle Sam's army is the best evidence of the true loyalty of the people of the camp. After Mayor Kelly's eulogy of the county officials which was published exclusively in The Press-Bulleti- n, it would seem that . these men would "get next" to use the language of the street and take up again the line of least resistance, which is the plan as suggested by the mayor, viz: "Co-operatio- n". It sometimes looks as if these county officials were trying to persecute Bingham rather than simply prosecute the offenders. Years ago these dep-uties were compelled to live one in Highland Boy and one in Upper Bingham, the districts which they are supposed to police, but now they are generally found around the town hall or some other place in lower Bingham. The pioneer builder who came to Bingham a little more than a quarter of a century ago has given out the statement that he will build another $100,000 building in the great copper camp. George E. Chandler has just completed a handsome structure in the heart of the business district in Bingham, and now he proposes to build even a better and more spacious building where the livery barn stands. It has been stated on good authority, that this man came here years ago as a telegraph operator with limited finan-cial resources, but today he stands well up toward the front among Utah's leading financiers. He has made the most of this money right here in camp, and from every indication he intends to plant eome of it here in handsome structures. , A man in Bingham who was being treated for D.T. recently .in one of the Salt Lake hospitals, states that you can buy it any-where. We rather doubt this assertion, but if it is true some action should be taken by the town police force to run down the offenders. Bingham is honor bound to enforce the prohibitory law just the same as all other laws, and if it is true that liquor is being sold here the dispensers can be lodged in jail for such ar length of time for this offense that they will not repeat the act. A visitor to the camp the other day was told about the same story when asked, "How do you get along --since the town went dry?" The reply was, "Yes, but it has not gone dry." Let's look about and determine whether these things be true, and if we find they are let's take action of the right sort in order to prevent Bingham from getting some more disrespectful headlines in the Zion papers. FIRST-CLAS- S BULL FAVORED Associations Are Now Making It Pos-sible for Farmer to Secure Service of Purebred Sire. The owner of a large herd of grade cows can well afford to own a first-clas- s bull, and bull associations are now making It possible for the owner of . a small herd to own a share In a good, well-bre- d bulL A bull association Is a farmers' organi-zation the chief purpose of which is the joint ownership, use, and exchange of high-clas- s, purebred bulls. If skill-fully managed, these associations should be eventually the greatest sin-gle factor in the upbuilding of our dairy herds. . . To build up a valuable and profitable dairy herd, careful and Intelligent munagement must be combined with selection and breeding. Ill treatment ; - . tMi,rwf . NkVr ', Animal of High Class. and Insufficient or unsuitable feeC have made many a well-bre- d and carefully selected herd unprofitable. All cows should be well bred ssnd well fed. It never pays to keep a cow that does not pay a fair return for first-clas- s feed and care. THE GOOD ROADS MEETING IN BINGHAM ' The good roads meeting held in this ci'ty;la.st,F.riday evening ehould mark the beginning of a well organized and united effort upon the part of the citizens of this city to secure for their com-munity that to which it is justly entitled. If it is true that Bing-ham pays one third the taxes of the county what she is about to ask for should be granted without a murmur. A concrete high-- , way between this city and Salt Lake would be mutually beneficial to both communities. It would bring them closer together com-- mercially and socially. The amount of travel over the present road already warrants its hard surfacing. And the tremendous increase of heavy traffic which it will be called upon to withstand during the. coming years will make a dirt road, from the stand- - point of maintenance alone, positively prohibitive. To secure this much needed adjunct to the state's resources is going to require a strong and united effort upon the part of all citizens of Bingham, and it is certainly to be hoped that now the movement has started it will not be .permitted to die through any lack of interest or effort upon the part of those people whose energy and resource-fulness if properly applied will undoubtedly trend toward its final success. "If eventually, why not now?" URGE CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS Dirt Is Cause of Production of Much Poor Milk, Cream and Butter Wash Separator. Much poor milk, cream and butter are produced because of dirty uten-sils. It is not necessary that the dirt be present In sufficient quantities to be seen by the naked eye in order to render the can unfit for use. The unclean separator is another common source of contamination. The separator should be taken apart and carefully washed and scalded after each separation. After the separator parts and utensils have been cleaned and dried, they should have a clenn, dry nppenranre and should not be greasy to the touch. A greasy costing on the Interior of a milk run wllj spoil milk or creara In n very few hours. It doesn't cost any more to keep the utensils clean and the results obtained are more satisfactory!, in every way. r HOW TO PREVENT ROAD DUST1 Breaking Up of Ridges Formed When Roadbed Is Wet From Standing Water Causes Trouble. Dust in the rood Is largely caused by the breaking up of the ridges formed when the rond bed is wt from standing water. If the roadbed Is kept well crowned and smooth water will rnn off. The surface will soften up some in cnxe of n long rain, but It will not he nearly so bad ns when' there are ruts which hold the water. The wheels of each passing vehicle make the rut a little deeper. The best way to keep the roadbed smooth Is to run over it wtih the rond drag. This shoiffil be done soon after It ruins. The soil Is then soft so It can be easily scraped off nnd dropped Into any depressions. The harrow alo lays the soil down In layers. It sort of plasters It down, which makes a ; harder surface than when the soil Is dumped onto the roadbed. The road drag Is the most effective dust preven-- ! ter except oiling the roads. j , i THE CHURCH VS. THE SALOON Every once in a while, an editor of some liquor journal grows pathetic in his pretended concern over what he calls the "decline of the church." He is profuse in his advice to the members on how j to remedy the so-call- decline. The burden of his argument is j that the church is losing out because it has "entered politics", in other words, because it is fighting the saloon and all its attendant evils. The fact is, the individual church that is losing out is usually , the church that is not aggressive in this fight to rid the country of 4 the liquor curse. x However, the church is not on the drtline. . The census bureau sustains this. According to figured triven out by the census bureau last week, the church membership in the United States has increased from 35,068,058 to 42,0-14,37- dur-ing the ten-ye- ar period which ended December 31, 1916. The number of churches increased during that time from 212,230 to 228,007. There was an increase of from 164,830 to 191,722 in the number of ministers and an inci ease of 15,337,811 to 20,569 881 in the number of Sunday school scholars, while the number of Sunday schools increased rom 112,722 to 207,789 and of Sunday school officers from 1,746,074 to 2,019,293. Compare the growth of churches of the country as shown by j these figures with the slump in the liquor traffic, and it is easy 'to distinguish the trend of the times. . j ; Churches are growing stronger and more numerous while the ! , saloons and breweries are being closed by the thousands. j WATER GIVEN MILKING COWS ,: , Tect Proves That Animals Drink at Pond or Creek Only Enough to Satisfy Cravings. It stands to reason that In winter the water Klven milking eows should , not be icy. Many farmers boast of the fact that they ow n creeks or ponds to which their cows have access in ' cold weather. And while this saves J work and expense, it Is hard on the cows, though the fanners claim it Is not. If you wont to tent the matter, let your cows k: to the pond or creek nnd drink through the Ice. Then, when you have returned to the sta-ble, carry In water that Is not lower than about (50 degrees Fahrenheit, nnd see how your cows will go after It. This proves that they drink at the jMind or creek only enoiiKh to satisfy their . Immediate cravings and not enough to fill their bags wirn milk. REMEMBER THE DjWS I L . 1. ATTENTION TO SIDE DITCHES Provision Should Be Made to Remove All Surface Water Rapidly Guard Against Erosion. Special attention should be pnld to providing side ditches which will re- - j move all surface water rapidly. Side, ditches on long, steep grades should ' be protected ngnlnst serious erosion by riprap, transverse timbers or other j beams. Culverts and bridges should j be of ample size and be built as per-- ! manent structures. Drain tile should be laid to carry oft underground wa- - j ter. Side ditches which are kept clean! and have siidiclent slope to lend the water away are usually preferable to! tile drainage, but the latter Is neces-- sary in some places. ' MAKE DAIRY BUSINESS PAY Raise All Heifer Calves From Good Cows and Keep Purebred Sires-H- ave Good Silos. ' To make the dairy business pay the best, raise all the heifer calves from good cows and keep purebred lres. Is the advice of Wear Rrothers of Illi-nois who speak from jexperience. Have good silos and put all corn raised In the silo. Have plenty of alfalfa and clover hny. Cows must be well housed and Riven plenty of water to get best results. "Barebones Parliament." The Rurehones parliament was nickname given to a British parlla- - aient convened by Oliver Cromwell In M."3. Its enemies gave It that nick-name from the name of one of its members, Pralsegod Bnrbon, a leather denier and Puritan preacher of that day. Goldbeatlng an Ancient Art. ; Goldhentlng as an Industry U as an- - ! clent and hcnoruble as It is fascinating and wnderful. It is practiced in al-most exactly the same way today as it was by goldworkers of ancient Greece and still more ancient Egypt. Incredible as It may seem, there ure instances of gold having been ben ton down to more than the three hundred thousandth part of aa Inch In thickness or thinness. . Agitation In Winter. Good rnnds agitation always shows n more rapid pulse during winter, and converts n great number uf people who object to traveling over highways that look like an Alpine piountnln range. Rut man has a short and brit-tle memory. When Hummer comes and the roads He down flat again public enthusiasm also lies down and buttons the flops on Its coin pocket. LIGHT FOR WINTER MONTHS Darkness Has Deteriorating Effect on General Health of Herd and Affects Eyesight The dark dairy stall Is more likely to be in evidence during the winter i ninths than lu the sui.imer, as some fanners seem to think the barn must i" closed us tightly as possible. Still, ii'.'lit Is not only an essential to com-'rtab- le quarters, but darkness has a deteriorating effect on the general 'icalih of the herd, the eyesight being Miccially uffectod, Stomach Needs Occasional Rest.
