for building roads, the case of Bay
county may be noted. That county
has laid out large sums of money in
improving the country roads, and
found the investment good one.
The farmers who are deeply interest
ed in the improvement of the roads,
should take energetic action on the
matter. So far only one, j. A. Case,
has publicly expressed an opinion in
regard to the proposed road improve
ment, and he thinks it would be a
good investment. The columns of
this paper are open to the farmers in

The two new pulp screens have beer
put in place at the pulp factory, and
may be in operation this week. They
are massive iron boxes with a copper
bottom. The copper is full of narrow
Sits, and the pulp, which is in liquid
shape, is forced through the Sits, by
kind of suction pump. The copper
bottoms prevent all Jumps from going
through, and what pulp passes through
the Sits is we'll sifted. The pulp then
goes to the wet machine where it is
formed into long rolls. AS soon as
the screens are at work, all the anti
quated machinery will be taken out,
and the works will be Of modern style.
