The question of the construction Of cleo
trio roads in country districts and the gen.
eral distribution of electricity for use in
farming operations is considered in a re-
cent paper by Franklin l. Pope, who terms
1t the most important problem pressing
for practical solution to-day" Mr. Pope,
In referring to some estimates of W. N.
Black on this subject, says: "Mr. Black
considers, and in this we are in entire ac-
cord with him, that the most hopeful solu-
tion of the problem of difficulty and dis
couragement that surrounds the American
farmer of to-day is to be looked for in the
general distribution OF electric power over
the whole country from central stations, and
Its utilization, not merely for transporta-
tion, but for all the work OF the farm now
carried on so e1pensively, laboriously and
lnefficiently BY the muscular power of men
and animals 1t needs but little study of
the sctual figures to appreciate how enor-
nous would be the magnitude of the saving
If this most flexible and tractable Of all
agents could be made to do even compara-
lively small portion of the farm work of the
United States
1t will be cheaper and more sensible to
render the improved highways unnecessary
than 1t will be to get the highways" Mr..
Black estimates that electrical highways
can be constructed tori IS, 500 per mile in
districts where the grade is not more than
10 per cent Where light trestles or en-
bankmeuts were needed, the expenditure
would be greater; but probably over 80 per
cent of the roodways of the United States
could be covered at this cost, and as there
would be, taking an average section of ten
miles square, about 100 miles of road, the
total cost tor the district would be only
$350,000 With a central station large
enough to drive all the road wagons of the
district that would be in use at any one
time, the capitalization would be less than
SO per acre, snd the interest account less
than 90 cents per annum to the acre. But
Mr.. Black proposes much wider applica-
tion of electricity than this capitalization
would meet. His idea is that this appllca-
tion should be thorough, and should in
clude the supplying of power for all agri-
cultural purposes, for manufacturing, aud
for electric light as well as for Transports
tion, and be estimates that this could be
done on a capitalization of $4,000, 900 for
the 100 square miles of territory. He
maintains that the interest on this sum, So
per acre, is insignificant when the total
value of the product on a properly culti-
waited acre of fertile soil is considered

New Method of Road Cleaning.

Macadam, the Scotch engineer, whose
name has for the last 90 years been con-
nected with the excellent road-making sys-
TEN he introduced, used to say: 'It is as
important to remove the worn-out material
from a stone road as to put on new mate
rial, >" and al mud should be brushed from
the road surace before applying more
stone" A pueumaiIc road-clraning machine
by which the inventor, John Jacob Astor,
seeks TO carry out these ideas has appeared,
and the model, which is in operation at Mr..
Astor's place at Rhinebeck, n. Y, is said
to be WorliI & most satisfactorily. The
machine consists of q platform mounted on
wheels, aud carrying ordinary shafts. and q
seat lor the driver. A doubIe-acting bel
lows, supported in diagonal position under
the platform, affords continual blast of air
when the machine is in operation. A hand
lever within reach of the driver enables
him TO regulate to q nicely the force of the
air blast desired. The great advantage this
machine has over brushes is that there 10
nothing in the air blast to disiutegrate or
remove the solid part OF the roadbed.

Matching that has been devised by the coun-
try people of the island. A long, low shed
is built of wattles and mud, with thick,
thatched roof Along the inside walls are
arranged rough troughs, filled with grain
and roasted paddy -husk, on which the eggs
are placed as favt as they are laid. In sum-
mer no particular precautions are taken but
In winter the eggs are covered over with
quilted coverlets. After the grain has been
sprinkled with water, it begins to ferment,
and the heat thrown out, together with
that of the paddy-husk, which is being con-
tinually changed, matches the eggs in about
80 days

The Culture of the Oyster.

Prof j. A. Ryder, of the University Of
Pennsylvania, has done excellent service
by his recent experiments in oyster cul-
ture. This season he intends to plant sew
eral acres of water. A wire netting is
stretched on piles few inches below low
water mark. On this is strewn founda-
tion of shells, on which are distributed liv-
ing oysters for propagation.

How give them this chance?

"Whosoever provideth not for his own
household is worse than an infidel.
These women belong to households
which are not provided for" They
live in free trade England. The men
in their families are not lawless nor in
different TO their comfort. They cannot
with all their efforts earn enough money
To provide for the mere sustenance OF
those whom they love and would cherish.
But they are not to be blamed, for the
free trade laws by which they are gov.
erned bring these results.
The American man of family has a
graver responsibility. He makes his
own laws.
The election of Grover Cleveland
would imperil the home of the American
workingman and those whom he has
vowed To care for in sickness or in death
Every man who regards the happiness
of women should realize that Grover
Cleveland stands for unprotected homes
and that Benjamin Harrison represents
the party which has pledged itself to
keep away free trade evils.

twenty-five dollars.

dollars. no matter what the result, but
what the old soldier wanted was his
pension besides, aud that amounted to
about sl4i year. They argued that a
