THE ROAD PROBLEM.
Vfcws That Are Not Chinericat
They May Seem to Many.


They May Seem to Many.
In former articles 1 have endeavored
to set forth the Importance of thorough
drainage. This having been scientific
ally done; we have a foundation on
which to build a asuperstructure. Up to
the present time the great roads of the
world have been made of stone, and
where it is available it is questionable
if q better material can be used. But
as this is an age of great discoveries
and inventions may we not reasonably
expect something from that quarter
tiHt will take the place of and even
SuperSede the use of stone entirely? 1t
has been discovered that the earth is
full of that beautiful metal aluminium,
that in the near future will to a great
extent supersede the use of iron in all
our farm machinery, vehicles Of all
kinds. household and cooking vessels
in building bridges, houses, etc.-in
fact, there is no end to the uses it can
be put to. Then why by the aid of the
chemist may not some process be
evolved that will in some cheap way
harden the very earth now lying in tho
roads we use?
Again, think it not impossible to
construct some kind of a transportable
machine by which to manufacture a
brick or block by pressure made from
the earth of which oNr roads are now
made combined with some cheap sub
stance or chemicals that will cause it to
harden, making it impervious to water
or the effects of frost Who knows but
electricity may be a ,cading factor in
road making? The Inventions of the
nineteenth century seem very great,
particularly to n man who has noted
the progress of invention, science and
art in the world for the last sixty years.
After what has been done who dares to
question tie possibilities of the balance
of this century?
Imagination has pictured to my mind
the possibility of results named. Were
American genius to invent a process
and a machine to accomplish the end
suggested and made free of patent tax
by the purchase of the right by the
government for the people and tho
work done by convict labor it wo,,la

AGRICULTURALHINTS
ADVANTAGE or SolLING.

Why 1t Is Moro Profitable Than tho T1n1Os
HonOred PRsturlng.
The enormous waste incurred by the
tramping down of, pasture by stock
when the ground is soft or the feed is
short is too little thought of by farm
ers. Early turning upon the pastures
in the spring, before the ground settles
or the grass gets start, often does Sc
rious damage to both land and stock.
The grass is soft and washy and the
change from dry nourishing food to
that containing SO little nutrition is
often quite serious in it its results
Under the soiling system more stock
can be kept on a given acreage than by
pasturing; much of the expense of fenc-
ing is saved; nearly all of the food
given is available for the formation of
products, as there is no waste of energy
in searching for food and the manure
can be preserved free from waste
The best crops for soiling are those
rich in heterogeneous matter or protein.
Although smaller crops are usually OBJ
tanned with the legunes Glover, peas,
etc., than with corn fodder, the fodder
from the legumes is much richer in nj
trogen and hence of more value in the
production of milk, cheese, butter and
beef. The legumes, being nitrogen
collectors, are able to obtain much of
their food supply from the air and SUBJ
soil. They add to the fertility of the
soil by the decay of their roots, stubble
and leaves, which are left in and upon
the soil when the crop is harvested.
The advantages of clover to the dairy
farmer may be briefly summed up as
follows: 1t is more valuable than hay
or corn stalks in production of milk; it
obtains much of it's nitrogen from the
air, and can be grown with mineral fer
tilizers only; it increases the value of
the manure and it tends to improve the
soil by the decay of its roots, stubble
and leaves, which remain after the crop
is harvested.-Western Rural.

Tho Latest Ideas In CnderclOth1nE For Fair

The quantity, if not the quality, of
underclOthing has been much simplif1ed
by the empire and Josephine styles, now
prevalent, and nowadays it is by
means unusual for a woman to discard
all petticoats, dressing herself in a suit

erboclzers of a mans shooting suit, very
wide and fully gathered into the waist,
in demand in Paris and London.
In some cases these l<nickerboclxers are
lined with flannel; in others they are
made about two yards wide; then again,
they are of surah frilled with lace,
of satin, buck1ed beneath the knee.
Thinking over the details of these
underclothes, one is tempted to recog-
nize strong measure of reason
in their adoption; they are certainly
just warm the innumerable
petticoats, they are infinitely more
comfortable, and when frilled with lace
and tied with ribbons they are just
decorative. Combination garments

erbockers have become wonderfully
popular, and are exceedingly pretty

Tweed knickerboc<ers are considered

tailor-made walking costumes, a very
wise precaution indeed, for nothing can
be more revolving to gaze upon than a

care can prevent its bedraggled founces
from soiling the chaussure. A woman
who wears for walking knicl<erbockers

These columns were then within

intrench nents, and on both sides a
tremendous firing was kept up.
Linch, instead of passing through the
center or in the rear of the columns,
proceeded coolly through the shower of
shot which the French and English
were discharging at each other.
1t was in vain that NJ. d'Estaing and
those WHO surrounded him cried to
Linch to take another direction; he
went on, executed his order and re-
turned by the same way, while his
friends watched, expecting to see his in

November Days.

November is month of rainy dis
agreeable days. The damp, cold air
penetrates everywhere and chills the
blood, laying the system open to the
danger of colds, pneumonia and kim
dred complaints. There is but one
remedy that stimulates the saystem
and fortifies it against such attacks,
and that is whiskey. Not such a
whiskey as is generally palmed off on
the public, but whiskey of known
purity and quality. Such a whiskey
is Klein's Silver Age, Duquesne or
Bear Creek Ryes. These WHISTLES
have been before the public for many
years and find favor wherever purity
is required. Physicians prescribe them,
hospitals use them, and every reputa-
BILE dealer sells them.
They are for sale at $3.50, ST. 5 and
$1.00 per quart respectively. Send for

all liquors mailed free. All goods
