T HB UNION TIME

Present indications are that there
will be great dearth of ren,able houses
here this fall and winter unless someone
goes to building. 1t is good sign when
al the rentable houses in tJwn are oc-
cupied. Nevertheless, people won't come
here to live unless they can find houses
to live in. 1t would be good time for
somo man who has the money and the
land to build several substantial houses
torrent. 1t does not pay to build hue or
CANDY houses to rent, but there is good
profit in plain substantial ones. Let no
family be turned away FROM Union for
want of suitable house to live in. j..

To our own County Supervisor. Mr..
j. B. II. Scott is due the credit of start
Ing the movement which has resulted in
the calling of the road congress to meet
in Columbia on che 24th inst Mr..
Scott has been interested in the matter
OF good roads for some time. and his DO
sition as supervisor has doubtless cnah-
lei him the better to appreciate the
road problem. He first wrote to several
supervisors about the matter and found
out that those who, like himself, had
been brought face to face with the duty
OF mending bad roads, were all agreed
that il was no small job; that it was
big enough problem, in fact, t. cuGagc
the joint deliberations of all the super-
visorS in the up country Thcs, let
ters were followed by communication
written by MIR. Scott and published in
several of our state daily p,pers, calling
for meeting ofa tho Supervisors at
Columbia. 1t was at tho suggestion of
The State We believe that the meeting
was called a road congress and that the
invitation to attend was extended to all
th,sc interested in good roads
We are glad to Sec this IN ,vemcnt and
hope that our supervisors, and people
generally, will push this matter and keep
on pushing it until we have good roads

Let Us not, however, expect too much
Of a convention We might be dis
appointed and disappointment nearly al.
w,ys discourages. We are expecting
much of the convention-that plans and
processes will be discussed aud CRITICS ID
and the best methods asccrtaincd One
thing is ccrtiin, however, and that is
that it is either going to take a good
deal of work or good deal of money
probably both, TO fix our roads like
they ought to DO fixed. II the roads can
be fixed easiest and best with hbor-sav
ing machinery, then we may depend or
it, it will cost something to work them
IF it will be best 10 woik them will

But whichever is best we saw lets

RENTING ON SHARES.
Tho Terms Demanded by Landlords In
tho Middle States.

Tho Terms Demanded by Landl ords In
tho Middle States.
Hardly any two farms are let on ex-
actly the same terms, but in the main
1t may be said that all terms come
down at last to somewhere between a
.''third and half division of the pro-
ceeds of the property. In the north
eastern part of Ohio, we understand
that it is almost an established custom
to rent a dairy farm at the halves-the
owner to furnish land, cows, possibly
some tools, the tenant to do all the
work, furnish the work team, pay half
of the taxes, and, in the advent of
purchased feed for the dairy, he is to
pay one-half of the cost of the feed
needed, and the owner of the farm the
other half. Now and then a man who
rents desires to own part of the cows
and raise some young stock. In this
event the owner of the farm pays to
the tenant 6 per cent. interest on the
market value of the few cows that the
tenant may furnish, and at the ex-
piration of the lease the increase
of the herd is equally divided.
Where the tenant desires to own the
stock, it is customary in the middle
states to agree upon cash rent for
the farm, and the tenant shoes his
own row." specifications usually be-
ing agreed upon as to how the farm
shall be managed, how much plowed,
how much seeded down, and all tools
supplied by the owner of the farm to
be kept in repair, well housed, and a
reasonable amount allowed for their
use.
Where land is let by the acre, it is
hard to tell at distance just what
would be fair rental, including taxes
and keeping things in repair; but in
many parts of Ohio such lands, and
good houses, handy to market, rent
from So. so to So per acre, and if near to
city where milk can be retailed,
garden truck raised, and like advan-
tages, it may be double this, and posi-
bly, more for general farm, while a
truck patch would bring a rental out
of sight."-Country Gentleman.

quickly and easily, but road machines
are expensive, and for the making of
farm roads, especially, the homemade
scraper that is figured herewith serves
a very good purpose, while for making
smooth rough country highway, and
for gradually working the earth from
the sides to the center of the road,
this scraper, preceded by harrow,
will be found of very great assistance.
The trouble with most of our country
roads is that they are fat, SO that the
rainfall either stands ON the surface
and makes it extremely muddy, or,
If the road be in rolling or hilly
country, the water runs along the mid
die of the highway, and badly washes
1t. The shoulder" at the sides of such
roads should be loose earth scraped
into the middle of the highway,
so that it will be rounded from
side to side. Then if the side
bitches are kept open all rain
water will quickly run off, and do no
injury either by making mud or by
washing. These two points, 1 think,
account for large share of our poor
highways "a fiat surface and poor
drainage at the sides. If towns would
only see that it is much better to make
thorough work as far as they go, there
would be great lessening of the pres
ent troubles. There seems to be pre-
vailing purpose in many places to do
just enough to keep the roads just

passable-to do just enough on them
Ito clear the law'-with result that
every rain puts the roads back where
they were before any work at all was
done upon them. 1t ought to be seen
that in the end this is the most expen-
sive plan that could be pursued. Make
the roads as wide as possible, round
them we'll, keep the side drains well
open and their outlets clear. and even
hard storms will not wash them. Com
paratively few towns can expend large
sums in making scientific rock-bal-
lasted roads, but all can use good COM
mon sense in directing the labor that
is to be expended upon them. Our
roads are poor, not because a large
amount of labor has not been ex-
pended upon them first and last, but
because so much of this labor has been
misdirected and therefore wasted

The "ChurnabiIity" of Cream.

The ''churnability" of cream is in
large part due to the individual pecul-
iarities of the COW, Some people, says
Hoard's Dairyman, count this an inn
portant point and breed for it, with the
result that they have cows that give a
very understanding cream. In some
degree this is also breed characteris-
tic. Milk containing large butter
globules will yield an easier churning
cream than milk with small butter
globules. The cream from the cows
fresh in milk churns more readily than
from the same cows at, later period;
feed also affects the churnabilIty VI
cream, but how or why we do not
know. Succulent feed promotes
churnability. The silage feed toIcer-
tain of these cows explains in some de-
gree why it taxes less time to churn
cream from their milk 1t is quite
possible, also, that the different creams
coming from different nerds have diff
ferent species of bacteria FREEDOM
mating in them.

OF the thousands and thousands of North
ern families who contemplate locating in
the South this fall, in the hope Of improv-
ing their health and lettering their fnan-
cial status, the vital question is which point
In the South is the best to locate In. The
three Important questions TO farmer, as
far rs location is concerned, are
/. Soil capable of growing all the cereals
he Is accustome to cultivating.
Q. A healthy climate.
8. A point where a ready market can be
found for everything he raises.
These requisites can be separately found
In any Of the Southern States, but In the
are all found together.
1t was this belt that originally attracted
the eyes of the world to the South. It Is
about fifty miles wide and two hundred
miles long, and reaches from the Northeast
corner of the State as far south as Tusca-
loosa. Within the mineral belt lie all the
coal, iron, limerick and other mines; all the
furnaces and most OF the manufactures Of
the State, thus providing employment for
immense numbers of operators OF all kinds,
which create market for every pound Of
produce raised by the farmer within this
region at a high price, and practically at his
door. In fact, the consumption of the prod
ucts of the farm is so great within this min
eral belt that the farmers located therein
are unable to supply one-twentieth of the
demand, and this cannot be said of any
other point in the South.
The Increase in the value Of lands within
the mineral belt Of North Alabama is more
certain than any other point in the South,
hence no mistake can be made in locating
there.
The land throughout the mineral region is
high and dry, though watered by many pure
and limpid streams. Its elevation is such
thatit enjoys the luxury Of pure atmos-
phere derived from its altitude, thus giving
to all this region the uniform climate OF the
South with the benefit of the seasons.
Birmingham is the center of this mineral
belt, with the beautiful city of Fort Payne,
on the Alabama Great Southern r. r., at
the North and Tuscaloosa at the South.

Princess Christian is perhaps the
best known of Queen Victoria's daugh-
ters, and is always actively engaged in
philanthropic causes. At recent
bazaar she was seen going from stall
to stall making purchases, Prince
Christian good-naturedly slowing away
the small parcels in his pockets. One
article purchased, however, was of con-
siderable size, so the attendant put the
questions: "Shall send it for. you,
madam?' to which the princess made
answer 'Oh, yes; send it to Buelting-
ham palace, if you please" ''To whom
shall address it?" was the next query;
and her royal highness, who dearly
loves joke, gave the prince a comical
warning look and said: Address it to
Mrs. Christian" The attendant was
quite unsuspicious of the rank OF her
customers. and so the parcel was duly
dispatched to Mrs. Christian, Buck.
