Width oftllc Ron,lway.

Tho Travelled part Of tho road should
be of uniform width, and the two sides
should be parallel if possible. Some
times width of 10 feet will be enough,
but lG feet is about right where much
travel is to be provided for In some
parts of the country where the width of
the highway between fences has been
fixed at 40 feet or moro the roadmaker
is often tempted to make the wagon way
Is or 20 and in some cases even "a feet
wide. but unless special reason exists
in certain localities it is waste of time
and labor 10 construct this extra width
and perpetual expense to keep it in
repair
LII the vicinity of large towns where
the wagon travel is great and in APP
proaching railway stations where much
hauling is done it may be necessary to
make the width greater than IS feet,
but i'll most cases where the traffic is so
important as to require an increased
width it will be good economy to abol-
ish the dirt road and substitute n sub
stantial paved or macadamizcd roadway
even Mt round figure of cost.

Protection Against Grasshoppers.

At the Texas station tho following
mixture has been efficient in killing
grasshoppors: TO six pounds of wheat
bran add one pound of sugar or molasscs
and one pound of white arsenic. Use
enough of water to make a thick dough
and put down i'll three rows, six feet
apart, ahead of hoppcrs, tablespoonful
of poison every six feet. This should
begin, say, at p. H., and at . a. IN.
put another three rows i'll the same
manner, and pick up in the afternoon of
the second day the first poison that was
put down. Wet this, rcwork, and it il
as good as any.
Success has also been attained with
the application of one pound Of white ar
scnic, dry, per acre. This was applied
with the Roach poisoning machine ut a
rate of about 10 acres per day, using it
only very early III the morning and late
i'll the evening. AS much as two pounds
OF white arsenic per acre did not injure
the cotton when applied dry.
For the protection Of peach trees and
other fruits kerosene emulsion, consist

The president Of tho Texas Horticul-

cate of root pruning of trees.
1t is suggested in The Maryland
Farmer as good plan to drill the early
potato ground to rye and seed with one
peck Of timothy III the fall and one peck
of clover i'll tho spring. Take off two
hay crops and thon plow sod for corn.
Extravagant claims are made for the
new wheat called Red Beauty
At the North Carolina station Dor
deauX mixture was successfully used to
prevent peach rot Three applications
are recommcndcd-on before the buds
swell, another as soon as the blooms fall
and third when the peaches are half
grown.
According to the Chattanooga Trades
man, small mills for the manufacture of
either cotton or wooden textiles in the
south have almost invariably prospcred.
One of the drawbacks on the southern
spinning trade has been the ambition
of our people for big mill, which they
cannot run to advantage if they get il.
Usually the large mill in the south is
mistake.

Ect.cr Than Equal Suffrage.

The Elcn of the present and the men
of the near future must be educated to
know how grievously they ere burdened
and hanpcrcd by the sorry roads which
connect village with village and farm

the title Mud Imprisoned Women" in
The Ladies Home Journal. If the wom-
ell OF America will take up this work
of education, the lessons will be surely
and profitably learned, and VIC will not
much longer be ashamed to have our
country roads compared with those of
other countries. And there could bo no
better time than this for the women of
America to begin their intervention in
this matter. The homo is where tho
best lessons are learned. Let the road
lesson be taken up at once.

conditions. General Roy Stone, vice
president of the National League For
Good Roads and United States special
agent and engineer for road inquiry,
department of agriculture, whose I'M
firing efforts for good roads arc well
known to all interested in tho cause,
says of the work dono by tho confer
ence:
The conference WAS very conservative
in its action and did not go beyond rec
ommending to the legislatures of the
several states the establishment of high
way commissions to consider what leg
islation and methods it might be wise
to adopt, and general recommendation
for the organization of road improve
lnent associations and leagues of in
struction i'll highway engineering, to-
gether with limited adoption of the
state aid system. Tho general feeling,
however, appeared to be that tho New
Jersey plan would be very strongly
commended by the delegates to their
respective legislatures during tho com
ing winter, and that rs many as posi-
bic of those legislatures would be in
duced to send committees to New Jer-
scy, as was done by the New York state
Legislature last winter, to inspect the
state aid roads and consult with the
state authorities and citizens regarding
that system.
Tho subject of convict labor on roads
was touched upon and aroused some diff
ference of opinion. Tho chairman of
the Massachusetts highway commission
expressed the opinion of that state as
decidedly opposed to the public use of
convict labor, while the delegates from
North Carolina and some of the other
states spoke OF the beneficial work &C
complishcd in their states by means of
that labor. y compromise plan was
suggested of using state convicts for the
preparation of road materials in quarry
camps where they could be easily guard
ed III this case it was suggested that
the state should furnish the road mate
rial free to tho counties and townships
and that county prisoners. tramps and
Migrants he used for the grading and
preparation Of the roadbeGs.

san against them. If further support is
necessary, tie it to the stakes AS soon
as the water is lowered in the trough
below the opening i'll the top of tho can
little air is admitted, and water flows
out to take the place of that consumed.
BY this means water can be kept pure
and wholesome, and if the vessel be
made of earthonwarc and placed in the
shade it will keep cool for long time.
Tho New England Homestead, which
furnishes the foregoing device, also sug-
gcsts some feeding arrangements. One

12 Stats.
Cut each slat as shown in the cut, so
as to permit each fowl to thrust its head
between without discomfort Fastcn
this onto Il chccseboX cover or other
suitable foundation, taking care to do
this so it can be opened. Put in the
feed. This arrangement is especially de-
sirable for soft feed; also for protecting

Another device suggested is ono for
feeding bran i'll dry state to fowls or
young chicks. Take flowerpot, cut a
