FARM AND GARDEN.
THE ROAD QUESTION.
An Agricultural Paper on the Financial
ASPECT of the Movement.

An Agricultural Paper on the Financial
Aspect of the Movement.
The demand for better roads has
come to stay, but roads can't be built
without money. Hw to procure the
money is the main question. 1t must
be obtained in some way so that the
burden of building does not fall AZ
once upon those whose farms are to be
benefited. The farmers are not able
to bear such a burden in the beginning.
If in some proper way the expense Of
making the roads could fall on the
farms to be benefited in the next ten,
twenty, or thirty years, the farms
would be SO increased in value that
that very increase would pay the ex-
pense many times over.
We can see no way OF building such
roads as ought to be made, such roads
as we have seen in England, France
and Germany, that have stood for a
thousand years, and are as good as
when first made, except by forming in
some manner road districts and issuing
bonds by those road districts, and lay

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug

PACKING OF PEARS.
Lessons to BE Learned from the Horticul.
turists of California.


In paper on pears, read by ]. ].
Black before the Peninsular (Delo
Horticultural society, the essayist said:
I'VE believe that pears should be
packed in new bright packages, half
barrels, quarter barrels, baskets, crates,
down to very small packages. We
must take lessons from the California
growers. The day has gone by when
we can shovel fruit of any kind into
five-eighths baskets with a corn shovel
and then expect the business to pay. In
an average season it would be better
that never pear in the nature of
Gull went to market Feed such to
hogs and you save freight and then
commission. and avoid breaking down
the market for good fruit If glut
comes keep even your primes at home.
1t is suicidal to break the market; avoid
it at any risk.
Devote time to the marketing of
pears. Wrap each pear in tissue paper
and pack in layer boxes, Then you
won't bother with your inferior speci-
mems. You will please the eye of the
stock the market. Why is California
fruit looked upon as choice in the mar
let? We all know it is not from it's
flavor. The fruit of the Delaware and
Chesapeake peninsula probably excels
in flavor the fruit of any other part of
the world, and this advantage should
work a fortune to our growers. The
California fruit is looked upon in the
market as choice simply because the
specimens are all choice specimens,
wrapped in tissue paper and packed in
layer boxes generally, and are pleasing
TO every sense except taste, Peninsula
fruit is pleasing to all our senses, pro-
vided we handle it properly. This
proper handling means the discarding
in seasons of scarcity of probably one
fifth of the crop, and in seasons of
plenty one-third should go to the hogs.
Such a course, honestly carried out by
the growers, will rehabilitate our fruit
business; indeed, at present it is one of
the great things lacking to general
prosperity"

Sheen Shenring In Now York.

They are shearing the sheep in Cen

turned out to be. There are about so
ewes and as many lambs besides the
two or three rams. All of the flock are
Southdowns of the purest breed, and
their wool, averaging from six to eight
pounds fleece, is very fine and of more
value than that of the ordinary sheep.
Shepherd Conway and his sheep dog
are attending the sheep and lambs on the
green, while three or four professional
sheep shearers are at work on the rest of
the flock at the sheepfold. As fast as an
animal has been shorn it is turned out
to pasture with the lambs and rams, and
the contrast between the thin, white ap-
pearance Of the shorn sheep and the
thick, brown feeces of the rams and
lambs is an interesting sight. - New
