The Value of Good Roads.
[Hdrper's WeeklV.l


Col. Francis Vinton Greene has recently
delivered an address on the subject of Good
Roads in the Butterield Practical Course at
Union College. In the course of his re-
marks he showed that while Massachusetts
annually expends $66 mile on roads out
side of cities, New Jersey SAB and New
York $50, the average expenditure in other
States is much less. If 1T is only $18 q
mile, this means total annual expendi-
ture throughout the country of 500
100000, and much the larger part of this
vast sum is literally thrown away on
roads that are not only the cause of yexa-
ton and discomfort to those who drive over
them but that entail actual loss upon those
who are compelled to carry their goods over
them TO the III arket or to the railway sta
tons.
The enormous drain made by bad roads on
our resources was estimated by Col. Greene,
and his figures viii not be doubted by any
one who has paid any attention to the sub
iect He said: " 1t has been proved, not
only by mechanical experiment but by actual
test that the same force which draws one
ton on q muddy earth road will draw four
tons on q hard Macadam road. On the i'm
proved roads of New Jersey loads of four TO
five tons are habitually drawn by two
horsep team. This effects a saving of fully
three-fourths of the cost of hauling to the
station, and reduces the cost of road trans
portation from 30 cents to q cents per ton
per mile. What this saving amounts to
may be imagined when it is known that the
New York Central Railroad carries nearly
20,000,000 tons of way freight in year. If
this is hauled only two miles by road, to or
from the station, and saving of 225 cents
per ton per mile could be effected, it would
mean total saving of S9,000,000."
In other words the question of roads in
many of our agricultural communities is a
question of farming at loss or at profit.
And there is not community or town in
the thcI<ly settled parts of the country that
provide itself with thoroughly good high
ways by anticipating it's road taxes for Is or
90 years. Money borrowed on Is or 20
year bonds, to be paid off from the annual
road taxes, would be sufficient for the work
in each locality, while the expenditure would
involve little, if any, increased taxation.
The plan that is here suggested has been
tried in towns near New York, and it is
noticeable that every good piece of road that
has been constructed in these communities
increases the sentiment in favor of spending
money in this way.

A Substitute for Wall PAPER.

"Alabastine 1t is called, and it is decided
departure from all Kalsomines. 1t is made
from solid alabaster rock, sets on the wall and
is not stuck on with animal glue, which fact
gives it distinct value over other wall and
ceiling finishes from a sanitary point OF view.
IL is made in pure white and twelve different
colors, and is the only permanent wall cover
ing, as it does not fake scale fall off or rot off
1t can be applied in indefinite coatings, one
over the other, without washing or scraping.
Another most important point in favor of
"Alabastine" is its cheapness. The price
charged for it is very reasonable, and its dura-
bility makes it far more economical than wall
paper.
In recent report of the Michigan State
Board of Health "Alabastine" was strongly
recommended for walls of dwellings, on the
strength of its many hygenic qualities.

bic new berry. From the numerous testf-
mopials from leading fruit growers we be-
lieye it to be the best of recent introduction,
and will no doubt become in time one of ths
leading standard varieties. Large, hand
some berries like these are always in good
demand at high prices, and it pays better to
grow these than many Of the old varieties ab
half price.
To Ripen Cream.
The proper ripening of cream is of the ut
most Importance, as the flavor of the butter
and the thOroughness of the ehurning largely
depend upon il. Uniformity in ripening is
most desirable, and, for this reason, the
cream should be frequently stirred so as to
bring all the cream 10 the surface. Stirring
round and round is not sufficient. 1t is nee
essary to bring the cream up from the bot
tom of the can, so rs to expose it to contact
with the air. 4l
The best temperature in which to ripen
cream depends upon the season and cOndi-
ton of the cream. High temperature causes
more rapid ripeniug than low temperatures,
and that employed depends largely whether
rapid or slow ripening is desired. Cream is
generally ripened at temperature of So
degrees in Winter and at from SO to SO de-
greas in Summer.
The method of ripening consists in heating
the cream by setting the can in dish of hot
water and stirring constantly until the de-
sired temperature is obtained. The can
should then be removed and put in clean,
sweet place where this temperature can bs
until ready for churning. The
can should be kept covered.

were in the field, but their daughters and
their daughters daughters will continue this
work aud hand it down to the generations that

Veterans feel honored in having this orga1iza-

THANKS, FOR COMPLIMENT.
Mr.. Seaman quotes: " First God made the
earth, then he rested; then he made man, and
then he rested then he made woman, and
neither God nor man have rested since"
i suppose he means to say that the c. c. girls
keep God so busy keeping on track of their
good deeds and the men so busy trying to at
least stay in sight, that both Gcd and man are
tired.
We should all thank him for such sweet
and well.expressed compliment.
