Congress and the Road Question.

The constitution of the United States
says that the general government shall
have power to establish postroads and
provide for the common defense. With
this authority it is clear that the United
States has the right to build and main
tain roads which shall serve as mail
routes and for military purposes. We
will never have better roads if we de-
pend on local effort, and we can never
expect the government to take hold Of
1t until the people demand it. The gov
eminent educates young men for officers
in the army and navy, in agriculture
and mechanical studies. Why should
not appropriations be made to educate
young men to be practical roadmakers?
The roads should be divided into ma
tional roads, state roads and county or
nelghDorhood roads. The national roads

state roads in charge of engineers gradu-
ated from the agricultural and mechan-
ical schools, and the neighborhood roads

Attractive Wreaths for June Brides,
White and Cream Moire Is the Present
Fancy for a Brides Gown-How to
Make Pretty Toque.
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK, June 2.-Some ladies
firmly believe that nothing is fit to wear
that has not been bought ready made,
and SO they pay large sums of money
simply for ''style," when little thought
and the exercise of what some call
faculty" and others "gumption" would
result in the possession of many pretty
things at small cost, and the amount
thus saved would pay for a sealskin
jacket in year.
In the first place there are bonnets.
The present styles make it the easiest
thing in the world for lady to have
several bonnets instead of one if her
economy runs that way. The straws
and jet frames are SO ornate in them
selves that scrap of ribbon, a bit of
old lace washed and ironed or one spray
of flowers or tuft of feathers will trim
them lavishly, and they are just as
pretty as those one buys. If you prefer
fat trimming there is no law this season
that says you shan't have it. IF you
want it high none will object except per-
haps the man behind you at the theater.
If you are going to the seashore get a
pretty colo~ed silk handkerchief and

Intelligent Roadmaking.

Intelligent roadmaking in this coun.
try seems to be lost art. It is ridicu.
lous to compel the yeomen each year to
turn out and scrape great clods upon a
road already impossible and thereby
keep it in bad condition all the year.
"Road working" as now conducted by
rustic labor is the narrowing farce of to.
day. How long this humorous maneu.
vering will be tolerated remains to be
seen. The ablebodied men of the dis.
trict turn out under the roadmaster and
spoil the highways for months to come.
Like Tennyson's babbling brook the
pathmaster's farce goes on forever.
Railways can never supply the place
of good wagon roads, which few miles
of the latter would amply prove to any
disinterested mind. The grangers seem
to think that the cities should bea1
the burden of expense. Not SO. The in.
terests are mutual and not inimical.
Notwithstanding all the great benefits
to be derived there will always be stub.
born opposers to the road improvement
idea until the blessing is irrevoeably
thrust upon them. It is a fact that in
other countries it has been proved that
good roads have benefited the country
folk far more than the city people. II
is surprising that country jewellers can.
not understand this fact and fully ap.
preciate it.
There is but one way to secure the
great boon of country roads-build them
BY general tax.-Bloomington Eye.

Kitty wilkins ON Horse Breeding.

"Our RANCH" Miss Wilkins went on
in answer to a question, sis in Owyhu
county, and we have on it, after this
seasons sales, about $500 head of horses
and 500 of cattle. No, our horses have
no mustang blood in them, but are de-
scended from Clydesdale and Percheron
stations, with occasionally some trot-
ting blood and American mares brought
from the east. We breed first for size
and strength and the lung power that
we think cannot be produced except BY
range breeding at considerable alti-
tude.
'4Our ranch is at a height of about
5000 feet above sea level, and our horses
are never housed or fed until we round
them up to send them east. By actual
measurement have found them in the
stock yards to be considerably larger
than other western horses, and we
haven't an animal in our herd that is
diseased in any way, nor are we ever
troubled with any of the usual ailments
of horses
Miss Wilkins has not been satisfied
with studying the horse of the present,
but has Owed into geological records,
and can tell you about the five toed and
three toed horses, no bigger than sheep,
that roamed the plains of Idaho ages
and ages and ages ago, as fuently as
she can expcand the superiority of open
air breeding to the nursery practice of
most stock farms.
sOf course" she admitted, ssthe baby
treatment is all right if you merely want
to produce phenomenal and fancy priced
trotters and race horses that are good
for nothing else. But if you want a
thoroughly sound and hardy stock with
the lung power that is one of the first es-
sentials of all round usefulness, then the
range system is the only one to employ"

Live Stock Points.

Common horses will become more
and more drug on the market as fast
as the cities begin to use electricity and
cables instead of horse traction for
street cars. This they are doing rapidly.
Within few months 1000 horses will
be for sale from the street Car stables of
New York city alone.
Mr.. Beale, American minister to Per-
STA, has sent to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington sixteen valuable
Astrakhan sheep. It will be worth
while to see how they thrive in this
country. Perhaps we may at length
beat the world in the production of fine
wool.
The poultry and dairy shows that
have been held in connection with the
fat stock and horse shows at Chicago
will be omitted this year. 1t is pity.
There ought to be dairy show, and a
great one, in every state in the Union
each year.
Be sure and have green stuff for the
poultry all the summer through, if you
have them yarded. Either rye, oats or
grass will make good feed, and careful
poulterers will plant one or all Of these
in plenty in good season to come in at
the right time.
When you intend to raise calf, let it
run with the mother COW till her milk
gets good, then take it away and begin
to feed it.
In feeding young calf it is better af-
ter you have taken it away from the
COW to let it have part of her milk for
few days. Then if you cannot afford
that longer, mix inseed meal cooked to
a jelly with sweet skimmilk at the
rate Of pound of the jelly to fifty
pounds Of the milk and feed this to the
calf. It makes fairly good substitute
for unskimmed cows milk in calf feed
ing. Later You may add to the linseed
some oatmeal with the hulls carefully
sifted out.
Let us have great big chicken show
at the Worlds fair. Begin to prepare
now for it.
A calf is old enough to begin to take
solid food with its liquid nourishment
when it begins to chew the cud.

is native of Washington, having been
born there, while his father, Harvey
Watterson, was serving as congressman
from a district in Tennessee. From
early youth he had strong predilec-
ton for Journalism, and after the war
had broken out he was inclined to the
cause of the Union, as his father was.
During the first two years of the civil
strife he was editorially connected with
the Cincinnati Times, but he afterward
went to Tennessee, and joined the Con-
federate army, performing staff duty
until Generals Grant and Sherman had
destroyed the power of the enemy in the
southwest. After the war he went to
Louisville, and when The Courier and
The journal were consolidated he was
chosen editor of the united newspaper.
and still retains his position, with large
proprietary interest.
Watterson has introduced new meth
DDS into The Courier-J Journal, and
though not entirely destitute of occa-
sional eccentricity himself, he has not
encouraged eccentricity in his subordi-
mates. He has said that when he first
made his home in this city it was the
custom of newspaper men here to get
drunk at least once day-a custom
which, if not wholly discontinued, has
been greatly modified. Their pugna-
cious propensities have also been curbed,
if not cured, by his influence and exam
pie. It is rare that one hears nowadays
of any kind of a fight among the fra
ternity, whose members used to be con-
tinually at war, not with pens alone,
but with canes, knives and pistols.
Watterson has not been engaged in any
sort of difficulty for nearly twenty
five years, and yet he has never hesitated
to express his opinion freely and clearly
on any subject that came before him.
He has tact, huinor, ability, independ-
ence and vast fund of common sense,
which, at the age of fifty, he is likely to
retain. ar O. D. o.
