TIE Jersey people are preparing for a splendid exhibit at the W orld s lalr. Of course the famous Signals Lily Flag. of Georgia. whose record has never been equalled, will be the center of interest. A COW that gives enough milk in year to make l047 pounds of butter ought to attract attention. Al though Signal Lily's record, year in and out. has not been equaled, Little Gol die. owned by C. |. Hood, the noted patent medicine manufactures, had several times given enough milk Ill seven days to produce thlrty-four pounds of butter, while Lily Flags greatest record for one week IS twenty nine pounds. Both Little Goldie and Lily Flag are now at Jackson Park. Among others that are quariered there in advance of the opening day are Islip Lennox, owned by A. r. Foster, of Plainview, Minn., with a record of I'll pounds in 365 days and twenty eight pounds in seven days; D. F. Apple toms Eurotisma, with record of 947 pounds in 365 days; Dixon's Prldalla. twenty-six pounds in seven days; Aver & McKinney's Daisy Hnman. twenty five pounds in seven days; Matthew $ Alteration. twenty four pounds In seven days; Taylor's Brown Bessie twenty-one pounds Tn seven days; Fox Rita of AHdaluSia, with a record ot producing seventy-five pounds of milk in day. Other noted animals are constantly arriving, and the Jersey dis play will be the grandest the world has ever seen-The Dairyman.

NORTH CAROLINA has probably reached solution of the road problem. In that state the counties are permitted to withdraw their convicts from the pententiary under certain conditions and use them upon road-work. This plan, which is comparatively new one. is said to be giving very satisfactory results. It will be remembered that TIE TIMES, discussing this important question about a year ago, advocated d somewhat similar plan. Something must be done to improve our public highways or the country cannot attain permanent prosperity. It is true that very few localities possess all the ma terials for the construction of good roads. but nearly every neighborhood possesses some of them. and the others can be added at greater or lesser cost. The estimated loss from poor roads each year in the United States is S500.- GOO 900. This sum, syste matically and judiciously expended for term of twenty years would give thIs entire country system of highways which would place it upon very fair footing as regards roads. The people could wei afford to be taxed for this purpose aud be richer for it in the end.
