Through some error in not recording
and filing some of the first ordinances
passed, it is necessary to have this work
done over again, and as we may have occa-
sion to enforce the laws enacted, it be-
hooves our Councilmen to take prompt ac-
ton in this matter, for delays may cause
serious tronble. We do not know wether
to attribute this state of affairs to ignorance
or carelessness, nor do we know upon
whose shoulders the blame rests, but this
We do know, that the facts are as stated,
and It is very essential that the matter be
attended to forthwith.

We desire TO say a few words to road
masters, over seers of highways and all
others interested. The season is now ap-
preaching when you will be, by law, re-
quired to attend to the duties of your Off
ccs, and it is on this point we desire to
speak In a new country like this, the
opening, grading and repairs of roads is q
subject of the greatest Importance to US all
and one in which every resident Of the
county is deeply interested. The large i'm
migration during the past two years and
the settlement of the vacant lands, has
caused the abandonment of the old, and the
establishment of new roads along the Sec
ton and township lines. The old roads or
trails were "air" lines running from point
to point by the most direct route without
sny regard to lines, and as previously stat
cd, the settlement of the county has brok-
on up these roads and now an immense
amount of work is to be done in each town
ship, to put the new thoro'fare in passable
condition for travel Road-masters and

They must endeavor to put all roads in
their districts in good repair, giving their
attention to the bad places first, and not,
as is often the case, put all TIE work in one
spot and let the rest remain nearly impass-
able. In order to do the work thoroughly
all the low and wet places should receive
immediate attention, and after work is
completed in these places, then grading
and leveling can be attended to. But be
sure whatever you do, to first of all, ill in
all the low and wet places, and grade the
approaches to all bridges in your district,
do all this first, then you will not have put
all your time in one spot and be Obliged
for lack of help and funds to leave other
/ portions entirely untouched. One wet
mud hole in a township spoils the Who'll,
road and the work done is comparitiyel,

Saturdays rain fall visited almost every
section of this State, and all anxiety con-
cerning the recent drouth has been dispelled
for the present, at least. The prospects in
this section are very flattering and encour-
aging. The splendid condition of the soil,
favorable weather, thorough tilling, and
good seed, lead as to anticipate bounteous
harvest. For three years past. farming has
been poor investment or undertaking,
barely, in some instances, has seed and
bread been harvested; but thanks to our
business men, they have appreciated the
situation and have done their part toward
helping and assisting the tillers of the soil
to continue their efforts toward opening
and improving their farms. Encouraged
by timely assistance, and buoyed up by a
hope that each succeeding harvest would
be bountiful one, very few have become
disheartened or discouraged, snd the result
has been that in spite of all draw backs
with but few exceptions, our farmers have
been each of the three years adding TO the
acreage under cultivation. The lesson of
these years has not been thrown away, but
its benefits are apparent on all sides. Our
farmers are using more judgment, arc di-
versifying their farming, are less extrava-
giant, and are conducting their affairs on
business principles. Experience is hard
master, but lessons in This school are re.
membered, and if, when We are i'll future
blessed with years of prosperity, we re-
member the hard experience of the past
three years, we will perhaps have cause to
bless the burden an all-wise Providence
has imposed upon US.

An EXPERIMENT WORTH IMITA-
TIyG.-I have noticed for number
of years past, in this locality, that
the bark on many young apple
trees was split open in the spring,
whether caused by the freezing of
the sap, or from some other cause
| will uot attempt to say;but, what
ever the cause, when the warm
weather came on, these trees would
throw off their bark, if not clear
around, on one side ofthe tree, and
almost sure to die before the sum-
mer was over, or il not entirely
killed. it became so badly diseased
as to ruin its future growth. In a
case which | treated the bark WI s
split open the whole length Of the
body of the tree on one side, and a
portion of the way on the other side,
50 | was almost certain Of its death
but, thinking | would make one
effort to save it, | cut through the
bark, the entire length of the body
and on the main limos, and wheth-
er from this treatment or from some
other causes, the growth of the tr,s
was never checked, and to-day it is
as thrifty a tree as there is on the
farm. Now believe this expert
ment worth trial at least, as no
harm can result from it in any
case.

formula is three tablespoons OF oil,
one of vinegar, a seant teaspoon OF
salt and half as much pepper, but
those who like less oil and more vim
egar will vary the proportion to suit
themselves. Tarragon or nasturti-
um vinegar may be substituted for
cider; burnct vinegar will give the
flavor of cucumbers; and combi-
nation of fayors may be obtained
by preparing vinegar according to
the directions given in recent
number Of the Prairie Farmer. Vim
egar should always be used spar
ingly, more especially these flavor
ed varieties; for salad loses its
merit when any one taste predoml-
mates.
FISH SALAD.
The fish may be prepared pur-
posely, or the remains Of any cold
boiled, baked or fried fish may be
used. Pick it in fakes and season
with pepper; salt, vinegar and a lit
tie chopped onion, then set it away
closely covered. 1t may stand four
or five hours, but should be kept in
a cool place. When the salad is
to be served. put layer of crisp
lettuce leaves in the bottom OF the
bowl; arrange the fish over these
and cover the top with a mayon-
naise sauce. Garnish the dish with
hard boiled eggs-the yolks and
whites chopped separately-choP
ped parsley and capers. Sprinkle
the capers over the mayonnalse and
arrange the eggs and parsley with
an eye to symmetry and the blend
ing of colors. Use the parley spar
ingly.
CABBAGE SALAD.
Shave the cabbage fine and keep
it in a cool place uutil needed, then
heap it in a mound in tie salad
bowl and pour mayonnaise dress
ing over the top. Make the dress
as before directed, using lemon juice
instead of vinegar, When done it
should be very thick, and may be
thinned to the proper consistency
with rich sweet cream. This makes
delicious dressing for cold-slaw
and is very nice for lettuce or oele-
ry. So many persons dislike oil
