GOOD AND BAD ROADS.

Good roads save horsetlesh and vehi-
Giles; bad roads wear out both. Good
roads are the exception in this country,
and bad roads the rule. In the winter
and early spring portions of our coun-
try roads are almost inaccessible owing
to the soft, muddy and dangerous con-
dition of the roads According to the
recent examination of the matter it
was estimated that load which one
horse can draw on level iron rails will
require, on smooth, level asphalt roads,
one and two third horses; on bad Bel
gian pavement, three and one eighth
horses; on good cobblestone road, seven
horses; on bad cobblestone road, thir-
teen horses; on ordinary earth road
twenty horses on sand forty horses,
The wear and tear on horses and vehi-
Giles will thus be seen TO be great on
poor earth roads The question comes
home to every farmer, and, in fact, to
every one who lives in the rural dis
tricts. Good roads should be obtained
by all means, and there is no better
way than to have the question discussed
at the Farmers Clubs. Enough money
and labor are annually spent on the
highways of most OF our states to pro-
duce good roads, but the result does
not yet show that good judgment has
been exercised in spending the time,
labor and money. This, then, seems
the most important question for far
mers to settle. Another question to de-
eide be ore spring is whether certain
road beds should be surface drained OF
underdrained with tile. Some roads
can be greatly improved by shortening
them, or cutting off curves and wind
ings. A great deol of unnecessary wear
to horses and vehicles could thus be
saved by attending to the roads in time.

ADIRONDACK DEER

The proposition by pot hunters in the
Adirondacks TO leugthen the season foi
hunting deer, will meet with opposition
from all sportsmen who are not profes.
ional hunters. The bill introduced into
the legislature permits the bounding Of
deer till Aug. 10 The law at the pres
ent time permits the shooting of deer
for period of two months, and the
hunters desire that this shall b doubled.
The request does not come from true
sportsmen, all of whom real re the ne
cessity of protecting the game but main
ly from professional hunters who have
migrated from Pennsylvania and else
where for the purpose Of making as
much money as they can, and when the
hunting is no longer profitable, to go
elsewhere.
1t is not the four or six weeks OF
bounding the deer that decimates Them
each year. Hounding during the warm
weather is not only cruel sport, but
the meat Of deer killed after such a
chase 10 totally unfit for food. The
cruelty of bounding the deer is an argu
ment against any modification of exist
ing laws. The average inhabitantof the
woods cares about as much for the game
law as the average fisherman OF Lake
George and Lake Champlain cares for
the law of fishing. The game constable

THE NEW WOOL SCHEDULE.

This is the substance of the WOO
schedule agreed upon by the Republican
members of the House ways and means
committee, according to a Washington
dispatch: 1t makes the duty on woods of
both the first and second class eleven
cents p pound. In carpet woods the
present division line Of twelve cents is
to be finally retained, woods inv iced at
less than twelve cents per pound to pay
three and half cents and those costing
over twelve cents py eight cents.
Washed wool is defined to be that
which has been washed by water on the
sleeps back and secured wool that
which is subjected to any process of
cleaning. Washed wool is to pay twice
the duty imposed on unwashed; secured
wool of the first class is to pay three
times the duty of unwashed, and
scou ed wool of the third class is to pay
two and half times the duty on I'M
washed.

in earnest on the subject and would care
for the whole colony if sent there, sell
ing each family farm at the stipulated
price of 50 to SIS an acre, and making
each the loan of COW and $25 in money
1t is probable that half-dozen families
will go to Wilmington and as many
more to Weston. 1t is of interest to
note that, in spite of the adverse criti-
cism which has been visited on the Com
missioner for advertising the fact that
there are many abandoned" or unoccu
pied farms in Vermont, the effect has
been already to increase materially the
prices at which such lands are held

been paid. Letters will be sent for this
purpose to the holders of mortgages in

is not furnished the mortgage will be
