lfOt lllt DtnloCEullC AuNotAASs4
EDlroRs OF ADVOCATE AS the question
of yoad making has been discussed TO some
extent in your valuable paper for sometime
past. and as at this season OF the year our
people read more and Trims more than at any
other, because they have more time &c read
and think | have concluded, ifnot enoroach-
ing too much ON your columns, to discuss
briefly some of the points of this most vexiDe
and important question. As to whether we
have bad roads or good roads in our county is
really not IL question The fact is, we have
bad roads, SO the first question TO discuss ls,
rrhy are they bad, and what is the trouble,
aud next what is the remedy. Is our road
law at fault. or have we failed TO comply with
or execute it properly? | firmly believe that
if our Eresent law upon this subject were
strictly adhered 20 in any particular, we
would in very few years haye much better
roads, with very little, il any more, expense
than we now have.
Now for little reasoning on this points
The law requires that county roads shall be
laid out thirty feet wide. Question, why
thirty feet wide? Answer, because reason, if
not experience. taught the trainers OF that
law that a road wide enough that vehicles
could pass each other safely, and be properly
drained on each side. could not be made with
a less width than thirty feet Now, rs pro
posed in the beginning of this article to deal
briefly with this subject, | shall drop for the
present at least, the law as it exists, and pay
a little attention to the roads as they exist,
presumug that they do eyist, for if the ques'
ton arises, as to whether they do eEisi or not,
put me dnwn in the negative,
! will venture the assertion, without fear OF
successful contradiction, that seven out Of
every ten miles of our roads, are less than
twenty feet wide, and one half ofthe seven are
less than fifteen feet. If thirty feet is not too
wide, fifteen feet u not more than half wide
enough.
Three things are especially essential in the
construction of good road, viz Width,
drainage and center elevation, and no think
ing man would attempt to construct good
road, whether he intended to stone 1t or not,
without conforming to these rules carefully.
One of the questions for us to settle is whether
it is not waste of money TO keep on trying
to do thing that never can be done, w :
make good road in gutter fifteen feet wide
There are many other things connected with
road making, such as the proper time OF the
year to work them, water breakers, or more
properly speaking, wagon breakers, &c, that
/ would ike TO speak Of, but fear | have
already used too much OF your valuable space.

Hiccoughs-When the expedient Of
holding the baby's nose. blowing in his
face, or giving him sugar and water has
failed, add about three drops of vinegar to
the sugar and water and give it 10 him.
This simple remedy seldom fails.
A Device That Gives the Lungs a Better
Chance-Use rubber corset laces. They
permit freer movement in stopping and
allow more freedom in respiration. There
is also said to be a saving in the whale
bones OF the corsets, obviating the constant
breaking of these parts. The cord is
round, thinned at the ends and is made OF
silk or cotton web. In the same connec-
ton there has been made form of rubber
shoe lace. which is stated to be great re-
lief to the feet, the shoe being held firmly
to the loot, whether long or short step is
made

them, with hall cupful of sugar, to the

vanilla and to one-half the mixture add
the chocolate. Cool the pudding mold,
put in the bottom half the white mixture,
then all the dark, then the remainder OF
the white. Set on ice aud serve with
vanilla cream sauce.
Orange Perfume-A delicate yet pene-
trating perfume, like that of the blossom
itself, is made by the women of the South,
whose homes lie amid the sunny orange
groves. They fill cut class scent bottles
with the ordorous petals as full as possible;
they then pour in pure spirits, adding
more flowers as those used shrink. A
concentrated perfume is the result, costing
nothing except for the spirits 1t IS as de-
hghtful, though not so lasting, as the altar
OF roses.
Panied Oysters the oysters free
from all liquor, put them in a colander,
and allow one or two quarts of cold water
to simply run through them. Have ready

the oysters shake for moment, and to
each fifty add two ounces Of butter, one
half teaspoonful OF salt and a palatable
seasoning of pepper. With a wooden
spoon stir until they boil and serve imlne-
diately.
Cream Cornstarch Pudding-Put pint
OF milk in double boiler. Measure four
even tablespoonfuls of cornstarch moist
ened with little cold milk add halfcup
OF sugar, stir and cook constantly for five
minutes, then take ffom the fire; add
hastily the beaten white of four eggs,
teaspoonfui of vanilla. add turn into a

Orange Flavor-A fiavOriD2 extract is
simply made by pouring one pint OF recti-
fed spirits of wine over as much shredded
orange peel as it will cover The fruit
should first be washed and the peel freed

How to Prevent Worms from Eating

moths at a certain stage OF their existence

tive. Persian insect powder kills them

One OF the causes OF failure with gar
dens on the farm is the great expense for
labor. Farmers who are accustomed TO
the use of the cultivator, and who aim to
do all the work with the horse instead OF
with the hoe, are averse to combining their
labor at a busy season OF the year 10 a
email area, which not only renders It nee
essary 70 work with hoes but also with
rakes. For this reason there are sections
of country where the farmers prefer to
procure their vegetables from the large
cities rather than grow them. and the
market cars are special features on the
leading railroads. thei- use being TO trans
port supplies from the cities to the coun-
try, vegetables and small fruits being q
large proportion of their cargoes.
Perhaps the most economical method
of growing vegetables on the farm would
be to manure a long strip OF land with
fine, wellrotted manure. placing the ma
nure on the ground after the land Is
ploweG, then narrowing the land until the
soil is az ine as it can be made. IL the
ground is piOwed early enough for the
frost to pulyerize the clods il will be an
advantage. BY having a long strip for
the garden and the LAYING on OF the rows
