THE HEAVIEST TAX.
Farmers Pay Millions Every Year Which
Could Easily BE Saved.

Farmers Pay Millions Every Year Which
Could Easily BE Saved
The roads of the country, says Farm
News, are disgrace besides being the
most costly of all our public works.
If we could have good roads it would
add more to the value of farm property
than all the other public improvements
put together ever have. 1t would re-
duce the cost of getting our crops to
market one half, and, in the saving o.
feed that is now fed to idle horses, it
would amount to a sum that staggers
the imagination.
Every day that a team remains idle
it is something for which no return
will ever be received. If we had good
| roads the teams could be used on the
farm when the ground was in condition
and the crops could be hauled to mar
ket at such times farm work could not
be prosecuted.
With good roads larger loads could
be hauled and time saved in this way.
1t has been computed that the average
cost of getting crops from the farm to
the railroad station is greater than put
ting it from the railroad station to the
sea-board, and if we count the cost Of
ordinary wages we will see that this is
not far wrong.
The subject of improving the roads
of the various states is being agitated
now, and the Good Roads league is
scattering information on the subject,
and it is to be hoped that the people OF
the country will awaken to the impor-
lance of the matter before long and at
tend to it promptly.

PRAIRIE DOGS NUMEROUS.

Western Kansas Overrun with the Little
Pests.
Western Kansas is this year overrun
with prairie dogs. These little pests
seem to have multiplied by the thou.
sands, and their clowns" may be seen
along the railroads by the hundred.
Probably the largest prairie dog town
in the state is about miles north Of
Narl1a. 1t is in the pasture of l.. d.
Smith, and he thinks so much of them
that he will not allow them hunted.
The pasture contains over hundred
acres, and is dotted over with the
houses of these little animals and their
companions, the little owls. 1t is very
interesting amusement for eastern peo-
pie to stand on an elevated point and
watch these little dogs running about
playing, or sitting erect by the side OF
their hole, ready to dart down into the
earth if there is sign of danger. 1t
takes good marksman to hit one Of
the dogs with rifle. They appear to
drop into their house before the bullet
can reach them, and many sportsmen
believe they can hear the report of a
gun 100 yards distant and get into the
hole before the bullet reaches them.

CHEAP HOMEMADE GREENHOUSE.

structed as it might be. For people
who cannot do better, and must avoid
every expense possible, especially also
that involved by the plan of hot water
heating, think can recommend the
house here illustrated (cut made after
an illustration appearing in Canadian
Horticulturist.) Any person handy
with tools could put up the frame work.
The material is almost wholly scant-
ling, 9 by inches, and cheap boards.
The building should be double boarded,
with paper between the two walls. Or
binary hot-bed sash can serve for the
roof, and the side windows may also be
bought ready made in any sash and
blind factory. The heating may be
done by simple ilIe, the Fireplace flor
coal or wood, being in the northwest
corner, and the chimney in the east end.
Our Canadian friend, who furnished
the idea, uses house of this kind as a
sleeping-room at night, and a sitting
and working room by day. The posts
or studding along the front side are
by inches, 6 feet high, and set just far
enough apart to allow the windows to
come between, so no window castings
are used. The house is 10 feet wide,
and heated with 2H foot box stove
that takes in very coarse wood. The
stove pipe runs along the back or north
side of the building, behind the staging
that is under the roof windows.-Amer-

English SeIf-RAliance.

In recent controversy on the ques-
ton of foreign clerks in the city, a
London merchant wrote to explain
that German clerks were in all re-
spects but one vastly superior to Eng
lish clerks They talked more lam
guages, they were more regular in
their hours, they cost half, they never
grumbled, they took shorter holidays
and worked longer, and they never
drank or gambled, or gave any trouble.
The one drawback was that they could
not be induced to take responsibility
whereas the stupid, ill-educated, tire
some Englishman would, and that
made him, after all, worth twice as
much as the German. No; the failure
to take responsibility is not the vice of
our race and while this is so, we need
not fear the burden of empire becom-
ing too great. Be the problems that
beset us what they may depend upon
it, there will always be Englishm0n
perfectly willing to assume them, and
cheerfully and without any histrionic
heroism, to d. their best in a spirit
worthy of the occasion. London Spec.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

The severe drought has stopped the

We have noticed more reports of poi

symptoms of this sort of poison bet

He Jokes With the Physicians While They
Amputate His Crushed Finger.
A strapping young man dressed in a
jumper and overalls approached the
desk of Mr.. Gleason, q clerk in the
admission Office of Bellevue hospital
the other day forenoon with smile
on his face and said:
Where is the butcher shop?"
Mr.. Gleason, who has met so many
queer applicants for medical treatment
at the hospital that he never gets cx.
cited over the most eccentric question,
replied:
There is meat market up thu
street; this is hospital"
II know that" said the man in q
rich brogue, but I've got part of
forcleg here that think will have to
be carved a little" at the same timn
holding up bandaged hand.
The man was directed to the "hutch.
er shop" of the esta blishment, better
known as the surgical room. He said
his name was John Flahcrty and that
he was working as a longshoreman on
Pier IS, North river, and that he lived
at 1856 Morris street, Jersey City. While
moving barrels on the pier the rim of
one crushed the forefinger of his right
hand against post. The finger was
badly mangled and after an examina.
ton it was decided to amputate it at
the second joint.
The physicians were greatly amused
at the rollicking spirit Of the patient,
who must have been suffering intense
pain. He refused to take ether. and
said: $50 ahead with the job" lie
was placed in the chair and as white
cloth was placed over him he said, with
laugh: Give me close shave"
While the physicians were applying
the knives lie laughed and joked con.
tinuously. When the dismembered
finger was bandaged he thanked the
physicians and walked cut OF the insti-
tuition whistling.
Dr. Gardner looked after him In
amazement and said II never saw a
better display of nerve in my life time.
He must have suffered terribly from
the operation" IN Y. Tribune.

A BALL OF FIRE.

Mr.. Edward Fl. Wheeler, of New
London, Conn.,, who has just returned
from family reunion at the old home
stead of Joseph Sumner Wheeler, in
Dixfeld village, Me-, tells strange
story, says the New York Herald, about
q thunderbolt that dropped into the
pretty Dixfeld hotel the other day, the
most extraordinary electrical perform
ance, perhaps, ever recorded on the
part of down east" freak lightning.
All the members of the large family
had met in the village for the first time
since their youth, and as the weather
was threatening and there was barely
room enough in the ancient Wheeler
home for them all to meet in single
apartment, they adjourned to the
ample country parlor of the village inn.
There they had rallied about son,
who read letter from a brother-in-
law, D. G. Talbot, of Coventry, Conn.
The reader had nearly completed his
task when a dismal thunderstorm
which had been gathering all the morn
Ing, suddenly broke over the tavern
roof with great rush of rain and din
of rafting thunderbolts. The epistle
closed with the words: May Gods
richest blessings rest upon YOU"
The reader had barely finished when
phenomenal lightning ball foated
into the room. "It did not appear to
be thunderbolt at ALL" said Mr..
Wheeler, narrating the incident, raj
though, of course, 1t was one, and II

Mrs. Mary Walters, an accomplished

the insect stung her on the tonsils.

the woman's throat had swollen so that
it was impossible for her to swallow.
She was in great agony when DR..
