best way that roads can be improved
and the only way to avelasting roads
Take the road tax from every farmer
who is willing or able to build up and
care for limited length of road. Dir
vide the country roads up into small
chunks Give premium of new
kind of pig or new strain Of cockerel
for the best,improved chunk of road in
the care of any single farmer.
Get the ladies interested by Offering
them prizes of sweetmeats or chocolate
drops, If they will use their influence
with their husbands, father and sweet
hearts, to make and keep up their
quota of the road. Have kissing bees
which will interest the boys, they win
do any sort of work for kiss. This
will start up big excitement through
out the country.
Offer to give all the stone, gravel or
sand necessary to make permanent
road. When there is no stone there is
plenty of gravel, and when there is no
gravel there is sand. Mix sand with
clay mix gravel with clay-mix stone
broken as small as hens eggs with
clay. Tax city people and farmers
who do not help to make the roads
Then when everything begins to
work smoothly offer reward for the
poorest worked piece of road. The re-
ward may be pair of mules ears cut

like rewards offered to start the
farmer into good actions feel conf
dent If the above is put into practice
we will have the best roads that the
world ever saw. And we win have
plenty of fun as well as good roads.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-
stitutional remedies. Deafness iscaused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have q rumbling sound or
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored toits normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

Some fungous diseases of fruits and
vegetables live over winter in the
seeds. This is especially true of the
bean anthracnose, and possibly also of
the watermelon rot. The fungus spores
in the seeds may be killed by soaking
for an hour In q solution Of three.
ounces of copper carbonate in one
quart of ammonia and diluted with
four and half gallons Of water. This

FARM AND GARDEN.
A TERRIBLE BURDEN.

Poor Roads Are the Heaviest Loads Farm

There is considerable talk in q quiet
way among farmers concerning the
roads and the question of lettering
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.

Keen wit II sometimca Concealed In
Wo0liy Heads.
1t was just before the war; Squire
johnson had been to Nashville, and on
his return home brought "Ole Nose y
the favorite slave on the plantation, a
new hat Nose was very proud of it.
The next Sunday the squire was driv-
ing home from church with his family,
and the carriage overlook Nose and
his ''ole miss" trudging along afoot It
was raining slightly, and the squire
noticed that Nose was barehcaded and
was carefully protecting his new hat
with his coat.
why don't You wear your new hat,
MoseY' inquired the squire. you'll
get that old head of yours wet.'
Oats so. Mass Johnson" replied
Nose, 'but dat ole heads yours and de
hats mine"
The squire used to miss chicken
now and then, and at length the mys-
terious disappearance was laid at the
door of one Ezekiel, who was accused
of the theft by his master.
Zeke was darby of exceptional wit.
He had picked up little arithmetic
and prided himself on his acuteness.
When charged with the chicken TAX
ing he asked warily:
Now. Marse johnson, If l can show
you dat only TUX dem fowls for yoh
good, will you let me go JUS dis time?'
The squire was curious to hear his
defense and told him he would do so.
well, you say you paid nine hum
dred dollars for me, and weighs JUS
bout a hundred and fifty pounds. Dat
makes six dollars pound. Now, if l
turn yoh chicken meat dat amt wuff
noah ten cents pound into nigger
meat dat's wuff six dollars yoh JUS dat
much better of. Don't you see?'
''Of course the squire saw, and he
used often to repeat the story and
laugh at the darky's ingenuity.
The war came on and Zeke was one
day detailed of the plantation to help
throw up some earthworks. The enemy
observed the defensive preparations
and began to shell the place. The first
missiles went wide of the mark, but
after few rounds the range was found
more accurately and the shells began
to burst uncomfortably close to Zskiel.
He stood his ground as long as he
could, but at last dropped his shovel
and ran for his life. The officer in
charge of the operations met him
little distance down the road and. halt
ing him. ordered him to explain his
fight -Zeke was trembling with fright,
but found breath to say:
''Dey's shooting over dare, and Mars
johnson he's poh man. He paid nine
hundred dollars for me in Memphis
and he can't afford to have me killed"
And with that nc took to the woods

Sad Story Of an Angry Lover and q Heart

know a case where the course Of true
love has run crooked as rams horn.
Miss Blank, q graduate Of the Bellevue
training school, was wooed and won by
gay young doctor. He took mort
gage on her affections in the form of an
engagement contract and sailed away
to complete his education at the medical
schools abroad. This was two years
ago last September, and for year and a
day after his departure loves rivulet
ran smoothly. =,
Then the serpent entered their Eden.
The girl lost her lovers address in fire
which consumed her abode so quickly
that she escaped only with her life and
her nightgown. His letters continued to
come regularly for number of weeks.
At length he began to express surprise
that she had not written. Then came re-
proaches, then anger, then anxiety and
finally despair. In none of his communi-
cations, however, did he think to give
his address. The girl was nearly frantic.
Faithful to the last, he sent her cable
year ago last Christmas. Since then
she has not heard from him. He lives in
Minneapolis, and his family name is
common one. She does not know his
fathers initials. Was ever lovelorn
maiden in such plight, and did Cupid
ever play meaner trick on his votaries?
