BROAD Tires Make Good Roads.

'fhe narrow tire in general use
should be taxed out of ext stence for
heavy hauling, either by increase d
tolls or county tax. They damage the
roads over which they travel with
heavy loads 100 per cent more than
moving double the amount of freight
would do if broad tires were used.
The general Turnpike act. which is
still in force in England, regulates the
weight to be carried by the width of
the tires used on wagons, carts, etc,
A wagon with a inch tire is allowed
to carry 6H tons, those with inch
tire Az tons and those with Al inch
tire AZ tons. Overweight Is charged
by the turnpikes when the loads are
above statutory limit.
If this plan was adopted, requiring
heavy loads to be carried on broad
tires, the turnpikes and non-macsd-
amized roads would last much longer
In the absence of legislative enact
ment, if the turnpike companies would
allow wagons using broad tires a re-
duction in tolls, or charge no toll at
all, this concession would induce the
use of broad tires instead of the mar
row ones.
Another suggestion has been pre-
sented-that of increasing the length
of the front axle so as TO prevent the
wheels from tracking This would al
low a wider wagon box, as it could be
built to within two inches of the rear
wheels. 1t would facilitate turnin g
and would prevent collisions whic h
would be more apt to occur if the rea r
axle was heightened. - Industrial

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New YoRK, December 19.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
shipment of more than S3,000,000 of gold to
Europe early last week has caused some
natural apprehension I'm speculative mark
cts. 1t is true that the gold is demanded by
Austria under such circumstances that an
exceptional premium is paid for it, but
neither Austria. nor any other country
could draw gold from the United States at
present unless there were heavy sales of
Ameriean securities by foreigners. The ex-
ports OF breadstuifs cotton, provisions,
cattle and petroleum in November
amounted TO S72, 669, 1902, indicating aggregate
exports of about SOS 100000 per month and an
excess OF merchandise exports over imports
not less than S200j0,000. At the same time
silver has been going abroad In large
amounts. Ii Is clear that unless securities
had been moved this way in unusual
amount, gold could not be taken abroad i'm
the settlement OF international exchanges.
But the conditions of domestic trade are
decidedly healthy and the approaching
close of the year will find "a larger volume of
business, both foreign and domestic, than
has ever been known before. The business

day, the fountain in the city, where
clean, ice-eold buttermille is served
fresh from the churn. will have more
patrons than beer saloon. We have
n suspicion that acidity means serious
damage to the young, that there is a
stage when the kind OF acidity we get
in buttermilk-bonny clabber ard
clabbered milk is healthful. The ex-
pertinent station of Vermont has re-
Gently been making experiments which
seem TO show there is more value in
the Tactic acid of buttermillx than we
have been suspecting, and we suspect
that, as in so many other cases, there is
an atom at least of truth in the position
taken by the farmers as to the value
of acids in aiding the digestion of pigs.
In this experiment it is maintained
that where pigs are fed on clabbered
milk as against sweet milk the gain on
the clabbered milk was l. so pounds
per day, while on the sweet milk a
gain of .97 pounds only was made per
day. The experimenter also claims
that recent experiments in Germ any
show that Tactic acid, like many of
the vegetable acids is an aid to diges-
ton and has real feeding value. This
is another of the points that needs to
be gone into carefully by our expert
ment stations. We want to ascertain
the truth aud the whole truth that
may be underlying the beliefs of
farmers on this and every other ques.

Generally a medium sized horse is
the best for the farmer.
The best results are secured by COM
bining the pillow and pasture.
Parents that are greatly dissimilar
in their breed and shape should never
be mated to breed.
The real test of good milk COW is
her performance after the first two or
three months in milk.
If stock are matured and fully
developed before breeding they bring
more and better offspring.
The milking should be done as
quietly, gently and rapidly as posi-
BILE, but always milk clean.
The best kind of stock for the
farmer 20 keep is that which suits
him. his farm aG6 his market the
best.
In no way can land be improved
faster than by judicious pasturing. or
more readily injured if carelcssl y

With the Western farmer at least,
whatever else may engage his atten-
ton, the livestock must receive its
share.
The comfort of the cows in winter
is very important item. especially il
they are expected to give milk regu,

Mr.. Cleveland will touch an electric

"'seH H'S
Retween 500 and GOO Locomotive en-
gineers met in jackson for a jubilee
meeting behind closed doors. Grand
Chief Z. NJ. Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, was
present and engineers within radius
of 100 miles were there TO greet him.
Excursion trains were run from Fort
Wayne, Ind, Port Huron and Bay
City. 1t was rumored that there was a
big grievance to be made but Chief
Arthur denied this and said the gather
ing was only a social union. Chief
Arthur said: sour order has never
been in more hourishing condition.
Since April l, the close of the fiscal
year, IL new divisions have been
formed. During my 10 years of grand
chief have never seen a more prosper
Gus state of affairs than at present.
Grievances have, of course, arisen at
different times, but these have all been
amicably adjusted and all of the
35, 900 of us are now happy"
In the evening the grand chief adj
dressed a meeting held by the Ladies
Auxiliary Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. Unofficially it was learned
that the Worlds Fair traffic was dis
cussed at length by the brotherhood.
The engineers want a new scale of
wages to be in vogue at that time, and

To prevent red napkins or towels
with colored borders from fading add
a little borax to the water in which
they are washed.
1t is better to keep baked pastry in
a cupboard rather than a refrigerator,
as it would be apt to get damp and
heavy in the latter place.
Finger bowls are not generally used
at ordinary luhcheons but if fruit is
part of the meal they are undoubtedly
required, and it is proper to use them.
To keep jellies from moulding cover
them over with pulvsrized sugar to
the depth of quarter Of an inch.
They will keep for years if this is
done.
Tin vessels will be sure TO rust and
become worthless in few weeks If
they are not set on the stove or in the
sun to become thoroughly dry after
washing.
Boiled buildings are always the best
when eaten directly after they are
taken up; but If you have any left af-
ter dinner is over it can be sliced and
set in the oven to heat the next day,
and will be good with hot sauce.
A handy recipe for curing hams is
this: Take four quarts of salt, -four
pounds of brown sugar dissolved in
water. Pack 1oo-weight OF hams
closely together and pour this pickle
over them, let them remain 10 days
and then smoke. SLY

Wants Calling Guns-GeologIcal Survey


In his biennial report, which will be
out next month, Adjutant General
Farrar will recommend that a perma-
nent location be secured for the state
troops annual encampment, although
he will not recommend any particular
spot. He will also recommend that a
company of artillery be organized as
an auxiliary to the state militia. He is
a great admirer of the Gatling gun,
and will suggest that two should be
obtained and 100 Inen drilled in their
use.
Gov. Winans intends, among other
things, in his farewell message to the

Encouragement of the state board of
geographical survey. 1t has trans
pired that during the 30 years of its
existence the board has an annual APP
preparation of some $4,000, and that
during that time a good account has
not been kept either of its work or its
expenditures. The board has made a
comprehensive report upon the matter
and Gov. Winans will make some
important recommendation as to the
work of the board. The report will be
presented to the coming legislature.

The Remarkable Case OF IA Woman Stricken
With Paralysis When Nine Years Old.


Rose Donohue has just died at Paw
tucket, Il. l., aged AZ. She was
stricken with paralysis at the age of
nine and for 3S years had not left the
little crib in which her three feet of
body reposed, nor during that time
had there been an apparent growth in
the limbs, shoulders or trunk. After a
time her feet became locked, one on
top of the other, and knit together so
that the right foot, which was beneath
the left, could hardly be seen. Never
theless her head grew as rapidly to its
proper proportions as that of a person
who enjoyed good physical health.
Her hands were painless and the four
fingers on her right hand and the three
on her left were boneless bits of flesh
six inches long. Her memory was re-
markably clear and her eyes beamed
with brightness and intelligence. She
was constant reader of religious
works and remembered everything
which she read and would repeat il
from memory. She devoted all of her
time to reading works of eminent
Catholics and in prayer.
