Novel Use of Rubber in Rugs.

One of the novelties in the rubber
trade is a reversible rug or carpet.
This consists of thin sheet of perfor-
ated rubber cloth, similar to that used
in the manufacture of boots. The yarn
is first forced through the little holes,
and then automatically spread on both
sides of the rubber sheeting. The re-
suit is rug that has exactly the ap-
pearance of moquette or other pile fab
ric, while it costs much less to manu-
facture and is reversible as we'll as
durable. AS jute as filing is entirely
dispensed with, the only expense is for
yarn and rubber.-St. Louis Republic
POSITIVE Proof. -"Whoever m ade that des
sert surely took great deal of palms, said

the pudding is in eating" he replied, as he

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

No MORE cows should be kept than
can be handled properly
IT generally proves a poor invest
ment to purchase poor COW.
If you expect to have well-behaved
cows learn to treat them decently.
The offspring OF over aged or poor
cows should be turned into good veal.
AT no time should the cows be al
lowed to shrink in milk on account OF
food.
WHEN there are lice on cattle apply
one part chloro-naptholeum to 100 parts
of water. Apply once a day, says a
writer.
A FARMER who could not raise 81. so
to pay for his county paper sent IS to
an eastern man to learn the secret OF
keeping butter from getting strong.
He received the reply: Eat it,

AID FROM THE STATE.
It Is Necessary to Make the Good Roads
Crusade Il Success.

1t Is Necessary to Make the Good Roads
Crusade Success.
State aid to localities for any pur-
pose is of course open to grave OBJ
jections Is should be seldom vouch-
safed, and never, except in eXigent
cases; but after years of agitation,
good roads in New York have slim
prospects, save as the state assists
them. Massachusetts, has found that
state aid and supervision are the only
feasible methods. New York will find
che same, unless present signs are de-
fective. Certainly if time be factor
in the problem-if good roads are soon
to be begun-state aid must be given.
While the press has been almost unit
In their behalf, the highest economic
authorities have approved them, and
the splendid highways of the old world
have been constant object-lessons to
the new, comparatively little has here
been accomplished. There has been
much agitation with small results.
The argument is concluded. Action
should ensue; and under the circum-
stances-the need of prompt, compre-
hensive and intelligent action-the
proposition for state aid is entitled to
consideration. n.-Harper's Weekly.

STREET IMPROVEMENT.
How the Good-Roads Problem Has bee
Solved at Winfield, Kan.

How the Good-Roads Problem Has Been
Solved at Winfield, Kan.
We have very little rain or snow dur
ing the winter season, and with our
sandy soil, when our streets are well
graded and proper attention given to
drainage, there is little need of metal
covering, except upon the main thor
oughfares, or where there is heavy
traffic. Such streets we have improved
to the extent of about four miles; add
ing few squares, where it seems most
needed, each year, in the manner fol-
lowing: The street is graded to width
of thirty feet, with crown of about
twelve inches; then course of broken
limestone is laid along the center
twenty feet wide and six inches thick.
The broken stone is then covered with
six inches of gravel, allowing the same
to lap over the stone about two feet on
each side ~
Strange as it may appear to you who
are fioundering in the mud half the
year whenever you get off your paved
streets, this makes very economical
and durable improvement for the

The blue porcelain-lined vessels are
always pretty and clean looking. OF
these or the agate should be the dou-
BILE boilers, the double-bottomed
saucepans, the frying kettle, the pud-
ding dishes and sundry other equally
useful dishes. Have an omelet pan as
well as frying pan, n waffle iron as
well as griddle, muffin tins as well as
biscuit pans, and above all, do not
stint yourself in the matter of bowls.
Have of big bowls one or two, of me-
dium-sized bowls three or four, and of
small bowls as many as your financial
are cheap, they take up little room,
are easily kept clean, and are always
useful, not only for mixing small
quantities, for beating an egg or two,
but for holding a spoonful of this or
half a cupful of that remnant Be
lavish also in spoons for mixing and
measuring, and in knives of various
sizes for cutting meat and bread, for
pairing apples and potatoes. Have a
split spoon for taking croquettes and
fritters from the boiling fat, meat
forks, cake turner's and q palette knife
for lifting and turning an omelette.
Provide yourself with a board to cut
bread upon, with paint brush to
grease cake tins, with an iron-handled
dish cloth for cleaning pots and pans,
with a long-handled mop vegetable
crater, a cheese crater, vegetable
press, a gravy strainer, a long-nosed
pitcher for griddle cake batter, and
more than one egg beater.-Philadel
phia Ledger.

The Compos,tlon of Milk.

Numerous experiments about milk
have hitherto resulted in failure, and
we are as ignorant as ever of it's chem
ical composition and its physical con-
stitution. When we do learn the exact
truth concerning them, we shall be in
better position than we are now to
undertake the management of milk
itself, the making of butter, and, in
particular, the manufacture of cheese.
In connection with the latter especial
ly there is too much charlatanism. Our
future practice will be very largely con-
trolled by the correct answer which,
no doubt, will eventually be given to
the apparently simple question: What
is milk? The greatest error we can com
NIT at present perhaps, is TO think
that we know all about it
