An Ohio Road scheme,

A novel and extremely interesting
experiment is soon to be tried in Ohio.
1t is a new departure in road improve
ment- which is claimed by its author
to have points of marked superiority
over the building of macadamized
roads. The plan is to extend the cleo
trio railway tracks from cities and
towns into the surrounding country,
and to construct the roads in such a
way that they can be used for wagons
and carriages drawn by horses as well
as by cars. OF course there will be a
great saving in horse power wherever
such roads ere used, since far heavier
iaais can he drawn on steel tracks
with the same force. In two counties
in Ohio trial will be made OF this sys-
tenn the present year. 1t need hardly
be said that the result will be awaited
with much interest not only in Ohio,
but in other states. The question OF
road improvement is filing a large
place in the public mind nowadays.
and anything in the direction of solv-
ing it is sure of earnest and respectful
attention. Something similar to the
Ohio idea was suggested by an English
writer years ago, but nothing. we be-
ieve, ever came Of it-N. Y. Tribune

a PROFITABLE STUDY.

Southern University Now Has Course
in Road Construction.
With all respect for the general
policy of our educational institutions,
it is proper to say that much is taught
which has not the practical value of
some other branches which are taught
at present only in the rough school of
experience.
1t is very fine thing for a young
lady to understand music and paint
ing, it is even desira BILE that she be
able to speak several languages $50
long as Engli sh is one of them), but
when that young lady finds herself the
wife of a co mmon, everyday. human
man. and the mother of several healthy
children she may regret that it is inn
possible to swap culture for crackers. :
To be able to translate Latin into
English is good if the translator can
also translate flour into bread. If but
one of the accomplishments is to be had
the choice should be easily made.
A person may be rich Tin money! but
riches
Make pinions for themselves to fly"
The only wealth which neither time
nor fate can change is that which is
stored away in the form of practical
knowledge.
We are glad to notice that much is
being done in the way of teaching the
rudinents of road building in schools.
The new south is beginning to
know that r Dads are an important fac
tor in the development of any section.
The University of North Carolina,
located at Chapel Hill, is advertising a
course in road construction under the
direction of Joseph Austin Holmes, B.
S., who is also state geologist, and
Thomas Roswell Foust, b. E., in
structor in mathematics and land sur.
veying.
Road building is fully equal in i'm.
portance to anything taught in
schools, and infinitely more important
than much which is given greater
prominence.

Keep Young.

Judicious mental work may help to
lift one out of the ruts of premature
old age. Read and think what you
read. Don't use your mind as if it were
seive and you were trying to see how
much you could pour through it. There
is belief extant that knowledge, if
gained at all, must be acquired in
youth. Fallacious theory! Behold
Calico at three score and ten pursuing
his studies with unfagging zeal; Cato
beginning Greek when advanced in
years; Og1lby commenced classical
studies when past fifty. Gladstone is as
much the student to-day as when the
bloom of youth mantled his cheek. Be
kind to the feelings and fancies OF
youth. If they prove perennial, so
much the better. Don't forbid your
self glad, recreative thoughts and ac-
ton. Don't be ashamed to make your
self as pretty as you can. A sensible
woman may feel thrill of pleasure
innocent as maiden's when receiving
a glance of respectful admiration from
a manly form. Smile without affecta-
ton, be pleasant without being silly
in short, be young as long as you can.
Kate Fields Washington.

one who has no drill best put in his
seeds?
Even in such a simple matter as
planting seeds in straight rows there
are slow, laborious ways; and there is
at least one comparatively rapid and
successful way. somewhat troublesome
to describe, but very easy to execute
when once learned.
To begin with, if you have not a
true eye" or if you are a woman and
awkward, you want a stout string
wool Irvine is best-as long as your
rows. Also two or more stakes and a
stick cut just the length you want the
rows apart. Stretch the string be-
tween the two stakes where you want
the first row to be. If the row is
long, put the extra stakes on the line
to keep it exactly in place.
Next take a hoe. The usual way
from this point on is to pick or dig a
groove with one corner of the hoe,
using it as in Fig. 1, and making to 6
inches of trench at stroke. This is
slow work, generally makes groove
crooked and uneaven in depth, and,
worst of all, if the ground is not per-

A Satire the "Other Side" Of the
Good Roads Question.

A Satire on the "Other Side" Of the
Good Roads Question.
This here agitation in favor of good
roads is all wrong. What good is it
going to do the farmer anyhow?
Suppose they should make his
wagons and harness last longer, what
| will become of the poor wagon and
harness makers? Are they not to be
taken into consideration?
Doesn't it say in the good book:
"Live and let live?''
Then the horses. What if they do
have to work hard and pull and tug
and die young? Don't that make bust
ness for the horse raiser? Certainly it
does. Horses haven't any souls and
when they die that's the end of them.
What if bad roads do keep the young
folks at home? Aren't they better
there than to be gadding about the
country and getting into mischief?
Why blind man could see that.
Then the old man. Isn't he better
off at home with the women folks
than to be in town a hanging around a
saloon? And then don't he get plenty
of rest when the roads are bad? What
more do you want?
when the prices were the highest?
Wouldn't he spend the money and be
just as hard up as ever?
Then suppose he could make a sum-
mer resort of his farm. Wouldn't his
boys get big notions into their heads
and be too high-toned for the farm?
And wouldn't the women folks want
to wear their Sunday clothes every day
in the week, and put on such airs that
there would be no living with them?
Then wouldn't the old man have to
keep on building additions to his house
to accommodate the crowds of city
folks who would overrun the place,
tramp down the grass, drink all the
milk. eat all the berries, fruit, eggs,
chickens and other truck and leave
him nothing to haul over the road to
market?
Then wouldn't he have to be putting
money in the bank and a buying stocks
and bonds and all that foolishness?
Then think of the temptation to spec
ulate and lose all he had and thereby
bring misery down on his family.
Yes. sir. This agitation is all wrong!
Just think. too, how monotonous it
would be to have the roads SO smooth
that the farmer couldn't use bad
language when his team happened to
get stuck in the mud.
No, sir. it will never do, and the
sooner this agitation ceases the better.
Is the opinion of a believer in the
good old times. ''-William d. Kemp

and digging, make a long. sweeping
stroke, sharp and quick, Is to "a inches.
according to your strength and skill
The whole thing would be far easier
to learn from actual sight. If done
right the result will be a straight,
clean groove of the desired depth, with
fine, mellow dirt in the bottom. The
blade of the hoe will throw the dirt
like pillow in rapid motion.
Then, for very fine seeds, such as
onion, etc. take an inch board about
five feet long, four to six inches wide,
and shape it as in Fig. 3. Slide this
along the bottom of the groove. This
secures perfect straightness, perfect
evenness in depth, and the finest dirt
in DO, ON of groove. The plants can
thus be weeded and titled even before
they are up. Next move the line and
stakes the proper distance until enough
grooves are made. Then drop the
peas, beans, seeds, etc, and cover.
In covering, use the hoe in much the
same way as in growing. However, if
the ground is lumpy use care in get
ting only fine dirt on the seeds. Also
be particular to cover to the proper
depth.
To distribute very fine seeds in the
grooves, mix them thoroughly with
dry sand, put all in a bottle. put
quill in the cork, and distribute
along the trench. The amount of seed
per rod or per foot of row can be cal
culated, and the distribution regulated
accordingly.
This method saves wo-thirds of the
time and does better work. If anyone
knows better way let's hear it.-An.

What the People Must Learn.

It has always seemed to me that if
the people could have forced home to
them two facts: first, that good mac
adam or gravel roads are, in the long
run. the cheapest as regards both con-
struction and maintenance; and sec
ond, that they are inestimably more
profitable both in lessening the cost of
transportation and in improving the
value of property, it would not be long
before our present wretched and dilap-
idated dirt roads would be replaced by
fine system of substantial highways

Why Sheep Are Profitable.

One very important point Of advan-
tage with sheep over any other kind of
farm stock is that they will eat a great
er variety of plants than any other Of
our domestic animals, and in this way
will often help to utilize much that
would otherwise go to waste. In do
ing this they will also be of help in
keeping down weeds both in the fields
and pastures. They afford three means
of income-the wool in the spring. the
early lambs and the matured sheep for
mutton. Good fat sheep are always
marketa ble and good wool will SELL

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
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 a perfect lax
ative; 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
news, 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
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
nfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
