April, 1893 An expenditure equal to one per

before his place of business-he could
not afford to; how much less can n
farmer afford poor, rough roads? AS n
matter of business he cannot afford
them as well as can a merchant. 1t is
u fact well established that roads over
which farmers carry their produce to
market return the largest interest upon
the cost OF construction. A good road
saves from "a to 7s to the farmer, and
oftentimes more, because there are
times that the roads cannot be used at
all. The habit that some of our path
masters have of plowing and dragging,
only ruins road; with good drainage,
and no good road can be built or main
tanned without drainage. the heavy
scraper and heavy roller are best on
common dirt road. T1ere is more to
the farmer in good roads than there is
in politics.

The Poultry Business.

The raising of poultry on the far1>s
OF the country is not as general as it
should be, nor is the subject ever given
thought, as rule, when figuring on
the most profitable or productive crops
to cultivate. 1t IS no secret that the
staple products furnish The smallest
profits for the investment of money
time and labor involved. The rais'..s
of turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks
brings more money to the farmer or
farmers wife on the investment, than
anything else that can be named.
Rarely failure except through gross
neglect they are always marketable at
profit either alive or dressed; apart
from them the eggs alone bring in quite
n revenue. The favorable conditions
essential to success in raising other
crops are not demanded, and no good
excuse can be offered for not raising
more or less in every state in the union.
They are needed on every table so there
is always local as well as outside de-
mand for poultry and eggs, and hence
the elements of risk do not figure to
the extent visi ole in other enterprises.

Growth of Raspherries.

The Prairie Farmer gives in sub
stance the following directions in the
management and growth of raspber;
rics: Raspberries grow from young
canes that spring up in gardens annual
ly. The old ones die out when they
have furnished their crop. All the
pruning then required is to cut out the
dead or old wood and shorten the young
canes. This is often done in the sum-
mer, and the canes shortened until they
are about three or four feet high.
When grown as u bush no stakes are
required, though in this form they can

CENTERBURG, o., Feb. 23. Ex-senator
Daniel Paul has again disappeared, and
his whereabouts is as much of n mys-
terry to his family and friends rs it was
when he mystcriously left home and
friends on the 9th of last May. He left
Centerburg for Granville last Friday on
private business leaving the impress
sion that he would return the same
evening. Saturday came and his wife,
anxious as to the cause of his prolonged
absence, sought out tho conductor Of
the train on which Mr.. Paul left here.
Of him she learned that Paul had con-
tinued to pay his fare from station to
station until the terminus of the Il. &
0. C. road, Athens, was reached, since
which time all is blank, so far as his
location is concerned.
Among his papers in private box a
sealed letter was found directed tc
Mark Cook, who is Pauls successor in
the Centerburg bank. In this he en-
powers Mr. Cook and Mrs. Paul with
full authority to act as his agents in
the trancaction of any business con

structions, also, not to make any effor'
to seek him or to try in any way tt

TEST OF CIVILIZATION.
Important Considerations Involved in the
Good Roads Question.

Important Considerations Involved in the
Good Roads Question.
Not simply comfort and convenience
in the daily intercourse of social life,
but economical considerations of vast
Importance are involved in the ques-
tion of improved roads throughout our
country. The most cursory study of
statistics showing the distance over
the average wagon roads Of our coun-
try through which a load of wheat will
pay its own transportation is con-
vincing object lesson to any man con-
cerning the wealth producing, labor
saving, food cheapening effect of good
roads, A farm twelve miles from Il
railroad station in a district with good
roads is worth more than one equally
good three miles removed from the
railroad where the roads are as bad as
they are in many farming districts
where the land is rich.
Civilization has been we'll defined as
the 'aggreate manifestation OF the
mastery which mind has attained over
matter among given people at Il
given time" This definition will bear
careful thought, and few physical
tests more Immediately indicate the
degree of civilization which COM
munity has reached than does the con-
dition of its streets and roads Merrill

THE WHITE CITY.
Beautiful Agricultural Building Destroyed
by Fire.


by Fire.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2G.-Fire was dlscov-
cred in the dome of the agricultural
building at the Worlds fair grounds
Saturday morning. The flames soon
spread to all parts of the roof. A spe-
cial alarm called engines from Hyde
Park and Woodlawn. The marshal said
he thought that the fire would be con-
fined to the agricultural building.
Another alarm called other engines
and determined fight against the
progress of destruction was begun.
Running up the outside of the pillars
the flames gained headway in the roof
and spread rapidly toward the dome in
the center. Once having a start in the
lofty arch its destruction was matter
of short order.
The firemen We're distributed, how
ever, and while several companies We're
working vigorously in an attempt to
stay the fire in the agricultural build
ing others were detailed to adjoining
structures and volumes of water were
directed towards exposed and endan-
gered parts. An hour after the general
alarm was sounded the firemen had ac-
complished all that was possible and
the blaze was practically extinguished.
The destruction of the dome left the al
ready partially ruined building even
more unsightly and it now bears little
resemblance of the ornate structure
surmounted by the statue of Diana,
which formed feature of the Court OF
Honor. But one theory was advanced
at the grounds regarding the origin OF
| the fire. Everyone agreed that an in
cendiary was again responsible for the
destruction. The repeated attempts to
burn the fair buildings have been as
| cribed to this cause and the conclusion
was promptly reached that Saturdays
ruin could be safely attributed to the
same cause

Ordered by the Courts to Keep
Their Mouths Shut or Be Jailed.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb. GO General
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
knights of Labor, addressed meeting
of the railway employees here Sunday
afternoon and took occasion to de-
nounce Judge Jenkins in scath-
ing terms, ut the same time an
nouncing his intention to violate the
Northern Pacific injunction. Among
other things, Mr.. Sovereign said:
''This is the first time that tho fag
of treason has fonted over the United
States treasury. For the first time in
the history of the country patronage
has been doled out to get an unfit man
confirmed as judge of the supreme
court. For the first time in the his
tory of the country laboring men have
been ordered by the courts to keep
their mouths shut under penalty of be-
ing sent to Jail.
III do not want to get into trouble
with the courts, for the penalty is $5, 900
fine and imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for six months Judge Jenkins,
of Milwaukee, issued this order, which
is disgrace. ! have been enjoined
from talking to the men of this road
about their troubles. 1 will go to
Winona this evening, to Minneapolis
Monday, and Wednesday I will address
meeting of Northern Pacific en-
ployes at St Paul just as sure as
there is God in Heaven, will violate
the injunction. Who is Judge Jenkins
anyway? He is but a tool, man
whose soul was intended for hades and
whose posterior was made for kicks"
These sentiments were received with
immense applause.
In an interview Sunday afternoon
General Master Workman Sovereign
corroborated the statement that the
knights will agitate the subject of de-
porting Negroes to Africa. He believes
the scheme to be feasible, and declares
it to be the only solution of the race

Never plant pear trees on wet soil
Do not be afraid to manure them, for
you cannot produce large and luscious
pears on starved trees. Do not let then
run too near the sky, but prune back
some every year. If this is done in
June and July It will induce fruitfuk
ness in trees that are tardy bearers,
OF all the early kinds Tyson Is my
favorite. 1t is almost free from blight
and for beauty and delicate flavor 1t Il
scarcely equaled. Seclel is also nearly
blight proof and behaves well either as
a dwarf or standard. 1t bears well
and for sugsry richness and high flavor
Is equal to the best Howell is another
favorite and is dependable bearer,
but the fruit is too soft for market
Sheldon should not be forgotten, as II
is one of the best of the fall varieties.
Bartlett is too well known to be de-
scribed and should be planted either
for home or market use. Anj0u Is
about the best of the winter kinds, eo
cept it be Lawrence. All these are well
tested and of high qualities almost
every way. Those who want to make
money regardless of giving offense to
those who really know what good
pears are should plant Kieffer. Il will

cooked with sugar is quite good. LIE

Poor Roads Are the Heaviest Loads Farm

There is considerable talk in quiet
way among farmers concerning the
roads and the question of bcttering
them. They are beginning to realize
that the only time the roads are good
is in the summer when they are most
engaged with their farm work, or by a
chance freeze up in winter. The times
when they need them the most they
are the worst. In the city where peo-
pie drive for pleasure the roads are al
ways good. The first and most liberal
improvements are put upon the high
ways. An investment of this nature
not only serves for pleasure, but com
mercial profit. No business man would
