FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


You cannot have a good road
without good drainage.
A tight barn is better than an
open one to keep hay in.
Fix your watering place so that
the animals cannot foul it.
Fresh air and sunshine are as
good tor the girls as for the boys.
Cut early and grow a second crop
of orchard grass and clover.
Ripe grass loses nearly one-halt
It's value when cured as hay.
Potash is good for strawberries
and most other fruits. Save your
wood ashes.
Wholesome food, pure air and
clean water are the three most po-
tent preventives Of disease.
In trimming, cut of all limbs that
cross each other. Leave only what
grow upward and outward.
1t is good idea to clean out your
granery and tulnigate it every year,
to destroy insects and their eggs.
Put coarse manure where YOU
want mulch, ard fine where you
want it to speedily mingle with and
enrich the soil

A writer in Harper's Weekly recently
gave the following description of mend
ing national road in France: with
the beginning of October and the rainy
season an inspector comes out-though
for that matter he is almost always tray
cling up and down-followed by large
gang Of men. one or more steam rollers,
which. if the district is far from town,
pull after them gypsy vans in which the
men live. The properly broken stone is
then spread evenly over the road, the
interstices are filed up with smaller
stones and pebbles, the refuse from the
larger stuff; over this is spread layer
of chalky or clayey earth, which had
been carried and heaped there in neat
piles during the summer; what we would
call mush molly is made out Of the whole
mass with water from the gutter. which
the engine of the roller pumps through q
hose: the steam roller next parades NJ
and down over the surface for a day OF
so, boards and guards are put up to keep
the passers by from driving on the grass
and by the middle of winter the whole
surface is perfect: so perfect Is il that II

six TO eight inches in size, are set in POI
sition ON the rolled earth and covered
with six-inch layer of macadam metal,
broken so as 10 pass through two and
one-half inch ring. This is then rolled
with a steam roller, the pattern most
commonly used being lotion machine,
costing 5000, though Cotton and 30-ton
machines are in use.
"When it is found that the metal will
not WELD to the roller the bed is ready
for another layer Of stone, which should
be six inches deep in the center, sloping
to the sides, and again compactly rolled.
A top dressing of fine broken stone, usu-
ally the screenings from crusher, and
not exceeding three-quarters of an inch
In largest dimensions, is spread over the
road TO a depth Of two inches. A steam
roller will compact these screenings to a
smooth surface and the road is ready
for travel. The rolling is facilitated and
greater compactness secured if the stone
is thoroughly sprinkled. Unless a great
volume of traffic is TO pass over the road
it is not necessary to have the metal a
foot thick. depth Of eight inches being
sufficient for ordinary travel"
In using the macadam on a common
dirt road, without the Telford founda-
ton, the metal is placed upon the hard
rolled surface in a uniform layer not ex-
ceeding inches in depth. This layer is
compactly rolled, and then another layer
of metal is spread on and treated in the
same way, and so on until the roadway
is completed according TO The Records
description of the Telford road.
The great expense of macadam roads
is an obstacle to their general adoption.
A method for reducing the expense is
suggested by The New York Journal OF
Commerce in an editorial given below:
at would pay everywhere to construct
the best macadamized roads, and the
work should be undertaken by the state
where long thoroughfares are required.
We have often suggested that 1t need
cost very little if the convicts and Grim
inals who cannot be given their liberty
because of their unrestrained depravity
were employed at the task. This would
effect double object. It would build
splendid roads at small cost throughout
the length and breadth Of the land, and
it would tend to restrain crime. 1t il

from being pushed into the ground IN
soft places, and to insure good drainage.
Macadam denied the usefulness OF the
foundation, and engineers are yet dlvid-
ed on the question.
Macadams rule for the size OF the
fragments, termed road metal, was SIX
ounces in weight. A cube OF one and
one-half inches of compact limestone
weighs about six ounces.
Roadways with the macadam top and
with or without the Telford base may be
constructed from common dirt road.
The method for such work is described
in recent article in The Philadelphia
Record. A variety Of macadam roads
are now under way in the vicinity OF
Philadelphia, and this article evidently
treats the matter from practical point
of view:

attention. Though there is plenty Of
liquor and plenty of drinking in the
Capitol, it must be said for the states
men that they drink in moderation.
During this whole winter l have seen but
one member Of congress on the floor in

drunk about three times a week with
painful regularity. In the senate there

las only one draw back-thet IS the sick
ness it causes when the car is suddenly
stopped. To people of delicate constitu-
ton this sickness is often such a serious
matter that to them the elevator is a dan
gerous blessing. This sickness can be
avoided by Observing simple physical
laws. Elevator sickness is caused by the
same law that throws a person to the
ground when he gets off moving car
in the wrong way. The stoppage of the
elevator car brings a dizziness to the
head and sometimes nausea at the stom-
ach. The internal organs seem to want to
rise into the threat. All this comes from
the fact that all parts Of the body are not
stopped at the same moment of time. The
feet being next TO the car floor stop with
the car, while other portions of the body
continue moving. If the body as whole
can be arrested at the same time with the
feet there viii be no sickness. This can be
done by placing the head and shoulders
against the car frame. Then there will be
no sickness. 1t is q sure preventive-New

ing and drinking. There is quite as
much drinking as eating, for bottles of
beer and wine are. everywhere to be seen.
Of course there are temperance men in
congress, temperance men who are tee
totalers here as well rs at home; but
there are others who pose as prohibition
its in the districts which they represent,
and in Washington drink like fishes.
One of the first things that attracts our
attention as we enter is a little scene in
the. far room, devoted to the use of la
dies. There sits a well known prohibi-
ton statesman slipping wine with femi-
nine friend. The pair are evidently out
for a good time, for the sparkle Of the
wine is already to be seen in their eyes,
and there is bottle in the cooler which
has not yet been opened.
Congressman complain that the air in
the hall Of the house is dry and arid;
that there is something in it which
causes thirst. However this may be, the
fact remains that surprising number
of them have their bottles of beer before
them. A few drink wine, but only a
few. The average congressman does not
drink wine when he has 10 buy it him
self. The average congressman counts
the cost of things, because he has to.

who have incomes exceeding a congress

How the congressman who has no in
come but his salary-and that is all the
majority have-manage to make both
ends meet after paying election expenses
and entertaining their constituents, is
more than can understand.
There is a law, or, what is the same
thing, joint resolution of Congress, for
bidding the sale of liquor in the Capitol.
But, goodness knows, that law is dead
letter. One may have served him as
much beer, wine and whisky in either

cares to drink or pay for. Nor does he
