ONLY A RUSH.
An Eastern FANCY.


Twas only rush By the Ganges' low brink,
And ono Of legion that modestly waved
Near by where the antelope came Oft to drink.
And foot-wesry travellers gratefully iaved-
Twas only rush, but Its broad leaf was
green,
And twas piucked by pilgrim with heart
full OF praise,
For It made for his head q most excellent
screen
As he toiled his slow way In the suns fear
full blaze
More beautiful far to the pilgrim II seem ed
Then the splendldcst flower In Arabia's
land;
More precious than jewels by him 1t was
For 1t saved him from death In tho deserts

There's many a rush in the river Of life.
Like that Of the Gauges, us humble and
plain, -. .
Worth millions OF flowers when trouble is
rife,
When in the souls desert. or racked BY
brute pain. -
Care well for these rushes' Their beauty will
shine
When that OF mere flowers has faded away;
All beauty OF form must surely decline, '..

The improvement of Roads.

Study all economies in the construc-
ton. See that each party benefited
bears his proper share of the cost.
Look into local questions Of road
materials and transportation, and into
all the latest improvements of road i'm
PIGMENTS and machinery. Every state
should have Il permanent road commits
sion, composed of citizens of the high
est character. Make the best use of
convict labor in road building In
regions where rock is plenty, by using
the best machinery for crushing stone
and employing convicts only in quarry
ing and handling, an amount of
material could be produced sufficient
to macadamize all the roads in the
state as fast as they could be prepared
for 1t. Only their own motion, railroads
are ready to contribute largely toward
road Improvement.

IMPROVEMENT:
CRUSHED STONE ROADS.

| what an Illinois Road Commissioners
Knows About Them.
Our gravel beds, which few years
ago supplied us with excellent gravel
for road purposes, have gradually de-
pc" ~" =" ! g cN'i' '"t~7n. Something
a..t - - coli, ..AA L,.r q t'"~,'ssions
purchased crusher and put il - go
ing On this stone. Ar-c'i Il their sur
prise, III, H,.I -, - vac iSs. of US, the ma
chine easily turned out yard of splen-
did road material every five minutes
They hired n traction engine at IS a
day to furnish power. 1t furnished
power and could have run another
crusher at the same time. The follow
ing details may interest highway COM
missioners having to contend with too
much coarse stone in their gravel BEDS
We crushed yard of stone every
five minutes, paying S. day for power.
Six shovelers fed the crusher The
material was elevated into the wagons,
therefore but one handling was re-
quired. The advantages over the old
way of road making in this locality
were almost too numerous to mention.
We can keep our pit in the best posi-
BILE shape and leave it in that condition
for the next time. With little head
work by the commissioner in imme-
date control, teams need not wait
thirty seconds for chance to load.
Under the old way there were too often
two to five teams at 80 day standing
still waiting for others to be loaded.
There is no time wasted in throwing
stone back at the pit or raking them
out of the road after being hauled on.
Generally they are not ralsed out at all.
A crushed stone road is far superior
to the ordinary gravel road and easier
kept in repair. AS matter of fact,
we now build crushed-stone road
cheaper than we did gravel road.
The reader can figure from this data:
Power per day, IS; n yard crushed every
Ave minutes; shovelers and haulers are
the same, whether you use crushed
rock or gravel, and of course need not
be counted.-John r. King, in Chicago
Tribune.

Tho Cutting Of Seed Potatoea.

As to cutting seed potatoes, prac-
tical farmer writes: find in digging
hills of potatoes every little while,
there are 80, 40 or so little ones, and
have looked into that and found out
that 1t was where the seed end was
planted with three or four little
sprouts. Now take the knife and cut
of that little cluster of eyes on top
There is one good eye left on each side,
and we simply cut that piece In tive
and have to good one eye pieces.

AS it is to-day, the farmer is unable
to haul his product to market during
bad weather, and as that is the very
period when he has the most leisure
time to do such work, it must add very
