Road Makinq.

The following hints upon this subject,
will be found worthy of consideration:
and as in the spring much time is de-
voted to repairing and making roads, we
give them for the benefit of farmers and
others: 3sf
ain road-making, one great requisite
is the ready and total removal of all
water. There cannot be a good road
where water stands by the side of, or on
H. II the bitches have no ready outlet,
the road bed will soak up the moisture
more or less by capillary attraction, and
thus remain rutted and muddy. 1t is
vain to think of having good load on
a subsou filled with stagnant water
even on side hills, if water remains on
the upper side, it will injure the road by
passing under. Provide then, ifpossible,
for the thorough drainage of your roads.
either by surface or covered bitches.
See that the road bed is evenly and
slightly rounded, so that the water can
readily find its way to the drains. II
the soil is clayey or loamy, give it few
inches OF gravel. Or even coarse sand.
and you will have q ine and pleasant
passage,way- If the soil is sandy, it
needs an addition of clay to correct it.
and this will correct it so that good
roads may be had over the lightest sandy

Power of q Word,

hand a son sixteen years old, mad with love
of the sea Edward said she, ''they tell
me that the great temptation of the seaman s

your mothers hand that you will never drink.

her the promise. / went the broad globe

forty years, whenever | saw glass filled
with the sparkling liquor, my mothers form
~ the garden gate on the hillside of Vr

nv lips are innocent of the taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence ofthe power
of "a single word? And yet it was but half;

my counting room young man OF forty, and
asked me, ''Do you know me?' No. said /. j

/ Awestern wonder.

The greatest wonder in the state Of Iowa.
and perhaps any other state, is what they..call
the "Walled Lake" in Wright county, twelve
miles north of the Dubuqre Il Pacific rail.
way, and about one hundred and fifty miles
west Of Dubuque city. The lake is from two
to, three feet higher than the earth's surface
Utmost PAGES the wall is ten feet high,
width at bottom fifteen feet. and at the top
five. Another fact is the. size Of the stone
used in construction the whole VARYING in
weight from three TONS down to one hundred
pounds. There Is an abundance of stones in
Wright county. but Surrounding the lake TO
the extent five or ten miles there are none.
No one can form an idea rs TO the means
employed to bring them to the spot, or who
constructed it. Around the entire lake is a
belt of woodland, half a mile in width, com
posed of oak with this exception, the coun-
try is rolling prairie. The trees. therefore,
mast have been placed there at the time of
building the wall.
Inthe spring of $50 there was a greatstorm,
and the ice on the lake broke the wall in
several places, and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged 10 repair the damages to prevent
humiliation. Thelake occupies a ground sur.
face of $500 acres, depth of water as great
as TWENTY-FIVE feet. The water is clear and
cold; soil sandy and loamy. 1t is singular
that no one has been able to ascertain where
the water comes from and where it goes, vel
it slwaye remains clear and fresh.
