teams with the old tools and meth
DDS. In this country during the past
year, according to the report Of the
Board OF Supervisors, no less than
forty of these road machines have
been purchased for the use OF the
road districts in the several towns at
an expense Of about Sl75 each. Yet
there are now road districts that do
not own an interest in or have the
use of an improved road worker The
use OF the machines has had another
good effect--a new interest and a de-
gree Of pride and emulation have
been awakened on the part Of the
people and the desirability Of good
roads has been emphasized as never
before.
1t is during the spring or rainy
weather that these dirt roads become
bad, and this is largely due from
being cut up and rutted by hauling
heavy loads on narrow-tired wagons.
What will afford the most relief and
be OF the greatest benefit will be the
enactment of a law compelling the
transportation Of all loads on wide
tired wagons, the weight Of the load
to be governed by the width Of the
tire. - Correspondence Farm and

reasIng ProductIveness.

1t is believed that one fruitful
means Of productiyeness is the fer
tiliJy of the soil, but this is not the
only means, fact which should al
ways be borne In mind in the selec-
tion Of seed, and affords good reason
why each farmer should, so far as
possible, save his own seed and thus
know something regarding 1t. Mr.
Gofi, the horticulturist Of the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Geneva, has found, as re-
suit Of series of tests, that the pro
ductiveness Of any strain Of potatoes
can be materially increased by the
continued selection for seed Of the
tubers from the most productive hills.
This involves the selection Of seed at
the time of harvesting, which gives
the opportunity Of knowing whether
the yield of the hill is large or small,
This is by no means a new idea, but
goes to substantiate a claim made
long ago that much better results can
be obtained with grains by making
from year to year very careful Sc
lection Of seed from the best speci-
mems Of the most productive stalks.
In the same way seed corn can be Sc
cured by selecting the best ears from
those stalks bearing two or more ears
The advantage gained will more than
pay for all the trouble incurred in
making the selection.

Advice to Young Women.

There is nothing so certain to make
you dislked as to tell your troubles
to friend. Prosperity means friend
ship, but once you take 1t into your
head TO retail your woes YOU will soon
discover that your company is not
wanted, and the people who once
bowed to you In pleasant recognition
now walk on the other side OF the
way with cold and stony glare that
looks over your head or through your
body but never meets your eyes as Of
yore.
The people are not hard hearted
that turn the cold shoulder to you,
They are only averse to knowing Of
any more misery than they already
have to bear. We everyone of us
have oura little troubles, In some
cases they grow to be very large ones
and isn't pleasant to have the dark
side continually thrust before US just
when we begin to feel bit comfort
able In our minds over some unpleas-
ant occurrence that has upset us for
time.
Take a bit Of valuable advice, and
when you feel like telling some one
of your spat with your intended or
how low your finances are, just re-
member our warning and don't do 1t.
Your mother, pour father, and your
husband are the truest sympathlzers,
and, outside Of them, you are certain
TO be- soon called bore II you per-
sist in your narrowing condolences. -

NDirt Roads and ROad-MachInes.

In order to intelligently under
stand present needs it is necessary to
understand present methods and
present appliances for rOad-making
and repairing as we ind them in the
rural districts In what l have to
suggest on this subject my judgment
will be based on what / know Of the
situation in Delaware County, New
York, but the same state Of affairs
will be found, think, in many OF
the counties of this State. Nine
out Of ten miles Of all the country
roads are, and will be at least for
many years, dirt or soil roads The
mode OF making and repairing these
dirt roads has greatly changed within
few years. The introduction oil
road machines has almost entirely
revolutionized the method Of road
making. The old dump scraper has
gone to take its place with the dis
carded tools Of a Dy-gone age, and
has given place to the new wheel
machine, wherewith two men and
two teams will construct more and
better road in a given time than
could be done by twenty men and ten

Glover Leaves EnrIchIng Soil.

No matter how carefully clover is
cured, some of its leaves will be
broken off and fall upon the soil.
These leaves are highly fertilizing,
and IN hot weather they rot with
dews and rains very rapidly AS
rains carry their soluble fertility into
the soil, it comes in contact with the
eXcrescences on the clover roots, which
enable the plant to get nitrogen.
Thus the cutting of two or more
clover crops in season makes the
land richer in available fertility than
it was in the spring. 1t is this tact
that used to make it good policy in
wheat-growing localities to cut crop
of clover for hay and another for
seed, and then pillow it for wheat. II
the soil could be made compact
enough, good wheat was always
grown after such preparation.

rnrmers Not nusIness Mon.

The trouble is, / think, that most
farmers are not business men, and a
man cannot make a success in any &C.
cupation unless he adopts business me-
thods and keeps abreast of the times.
Most farmers will plod along year
in year out on the same old lines, ex-
pecting their farms to produce the
same crops as they did ten years ago,
and without stopping to ask whether
those crops have not taken from the
soul ingredients that are not con-
tanned in the manure they have APP
Piled For them the experiment
stations are nothing but name
They receive the bulletins per-
haps, but never profit by them.
They grumble at the prices they re-
ceive for their crops, but it never
occurs to them to change They
never keep accounts and so have no
idea whether they have made or lost
Under these circumstances it is
pretty safe to conclude that they
have lost and that they will continue
to lose until the Sheriff takes posses
sion. And the loss will not stop
there. Unsuccessful farmers are al
ways careless. The tumble-down
fences, the dilapidated gates, the
tangle of weeds and bushes, the I'M
painted, ruined out-houses will tell
heavily against them at the sale, and
increase by tenfold the amount 1t
would have cost to keep them in re-
pair. - Correspondent New York

what Should Creamerles Cost?

What should creamery cost for
500 cows, the concern to be equipped
with the most improved machinery?
is a question that is being actively
canvassed in many sections, and the
answer is not always satisfactory, as
it costs in one county often twice as
much to erect creamery as cor
respondingly good one over the line.
1t was the editors good fortune to
pay visit, recently, to a creamery
that was receiving the finishing
touches and give it thorough in
Spection. The concern was gagged
for 800 cows and rugged up for an all
the-year-round concern, with steam
heat in all parts Of the building-saye
the refrigerator room. The building
was most thoroughly built, finished
off inside to dot" ten-horse
power engine, big separator churns,
etc., big cream ripening vat and
everything needed, icehouse and all,
ready to take in milk, for the sum Of
SO, 000 The concern that erected it
has no stock in the enterprise, and
when completed and accepted they
will be paid and the whole concern
passes into the hands of the farmers
We have seen buildings and equip
ments that cost nearly twice as much
that were far inferior in both build
ing and equipment, and the P. f.
here, for the last time, lifts up its
voice in warning against the system
of influence that Is building cream
cries anywhere a company can be Or
ganized, whether or not there is a
COW within ten miles, and resulting
in chain of failures because of FIRST
excessive charges for construction and
equipment, and then lack Of patron

The Price Of Horses.

There is a pretty general complaint
that low prices prevail in the horse
market, but at the same time there
is plenty Of testimony that this does
not much affect the better class Of
stock offered, At recent Chicago
sale twenty-nine standard bred ami
mails sold at an average of a trihe
over $40 each, 1t is not at all prob
able that it costs above $3.50 each to
produce these, so that the margin Of
profit is very satisfactory, In spite Of
low prices. 1t only emphasizes fact
that the best profit in growing good
stock is seen when prices in general
are lew When all prices rule high
there may be some margin in growing
almost any sort of an animal, but
when the opposite is the case, and
poor stock goes for song, one sees
the value IN having something good
tc SELL This applies not to horses
only, but to all kinds Of live stock.

FRfGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Train Dashes Into Loaded Stone Cal
in the PENNSYLVANIA Monntains.

A Train Dashes Into Loaded Stone Cars
in the Pennsylvania Mountains.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 25.-A fright
full wreck occurred on the Bare Rocks
road last evening. The road is two
miles in length and runs from Woy's
station, on the Somerset & Cambria
road. to quarries of the Somerset Stone
Co. The grade is very steep. In COM
ing down the train, composed of an en-
CINE with two cars loaded with large
block stone, became unmanageablea and
dashed down the grade at tremcnd-
Gus speed.
On the engine were Engineer Neff,
his little son Russell and farmer,
John Z. Pile with his wife and daugh-
ter, while on the ears were some twenty
laborers returning from their days
work. At the foot of the grade We're
standing a number of cars
loaded with stone. Into these
the runaway train dashed with
fearful velocity. The engine and
cars were thrown from the track and
Pile, his wife and daughter were buried
under the former. When taken out
they were dead. The engineer and his
son were severely scalded, the latter
fatally. A number of la borers jumped
from the train. but those. who stayed
on were buried in the track. At this
writing seven dead bodies have been
taken from the wreck. How many
more are there cannot as yet lie told.
