WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

Hint for the Oficsrs of State and
ii County Fair Associations
One long stride toward good roads
would be accomplished if we could con
vince the people what a blessing good
roads are, especially for the farmer, and
that broad tires on all wagons that carry
4 900 pounds or more is the salvation OF
good roads. One way to bring about this
change and educate the people as to
what broad tires will really do toward
making good road and keeping 1t,
would be if our fair associations all over
this grand country would offer good
large premium for the wagon that
would be the lightest draft and keep
the roads in the best shape.
The way to test this would be TO give
each wagon it's own track, use the
standard narrow tires and four-inch
tires. Water the track in certain places,
using the same amount of water. on
each, loading each wagon the same,
make each wagon make the same mum
ber of trips over the track and give the
premium to the wagon that is lightest
on team and keeps the road in best
shape. Well, will venture to say that
in the course Of time the narrow tired
wagon will get the road in such shape
that the team can't pnllit. II men would
only give this thought attention they
would see the advantage of broad tires
for good roads and to help make and
keep good roads.-G George j. Menger, in
Journal Of Agriculture.

According to the news columns OF

other way in which he can do his party
greater service than by convincing the
public that his own connection with

deep, as shown in the cut OF course the
ice box must have a tight metal floor,
sloped to carry away the water through
a pipe soldered in at one corner. The
other side of the ice box extends to
within ten inches of the ceiling. The
current of air is indicated by the ar
rews. This permits the cold air to drop
down behind the shelves and pass over
the butter. II it becomes warm it rises
to the ceiling, finds its way into the ice
box and, after being chilled, again de-
seends. W
To prevent the ice falling over the
eight-inch side there should be some
Stats arranged so as to throw any drip
back into the pan. To regulate the
temperature hang ten-inch board in
such a way that the ice box may be
closed, or partly closed, to retard circu-

There were but eight persons. Five

comprising the labor gang in which he
worked, while close behind them sat
an officer and two osinister-looking ward

butts of their loaded rifles resting on
the floor. The conyicts were watching
the ceremony interestedly, frequently
whispering among themselves, and ever

of their chains formed an Sominous ac-
compartment to the hastily y-gabbled
formula, as if reminding them of the dis

Neitherreplied. The warder who held
the chain to which the five prisoners
were manacled stepped forward and
locked it to the bridegroom's fetters.
For a few minutes, while before the
altar, the latter had been allowed COM
paratiye freedom; but now, the cere-
Inony over, he was compelled toreturn
with his gang to the atrocions tortures

the difference in their physiognomy

distingnisbable that the husband be-
longed to higher social circle than the
others, who, from their ferocious, for
bidding aspect, had evidently given the
rein to their evil passions, and were nm
dergoing their just punishment.
Through the narrow door they passed
in singl. file, the warders following
immediately behind with their rules

Sad History OF an Island Which Nature
Meant for an Earthly Paradise.
If ever God created a paradise cn
earth twas the island OF Hayti.' When
discovered by the Spaniards, AGO years
ago, it was in possession of Indians,
from whom, however, it was quickly
wrested. The conquerors then did their
best to turn this paradise into a hell
and so far succeeded as to utterly ex-
terminate the aboriginal inhabitants,
Subsequently, the subjects of the king
of Francewho inquired by what right
theswhole earth had been given into the
keeping OF. the Spaniards- ousted these
tyrants and made for themselves places
of ease and luxury. They kept their
hold until the close of the last century,
when the French revolution gave their
slaves ideas of progress and the rights
of man." and they rose in their might
and massacred their masters. ,.a---.@4,
Grand old great houses" nlagnif-
cent esta tes and beautiful coffee planta-
tions went to o2ruin, and the country
which had once blossogned with Trench
civilization reverted to its primitive
savagery. The blacks and nulattoes
entered into the dwellings Of their for
l.mer owners, occupied them SO long as
they remained intact and when they
fell to ruin built for themselves huts
of straw and palm, which they leaned
against the massive walls Of the decay
ling structures. All the works Of the
white men gradually disappeared t,N-
Icept the coffee plantations, which con-
tinued to bring forth their fragrant
flowers and precious berries. These
| finally became the sole support of.thnu.
sands Of small squatter proprietors

from trees planted by the French rover
100 years ago.. The berries constitute
almost the exclusive revenue of revoln
tion-ridden Hayti and are brought tt

their own backs, sometimes on the

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


A moss-covered tree cannot remain
healthy.
It is a mistake to set fruit trees in
the garden.
Moss on tree affords hiding place
for insects.
An application of whiteWash is good

from the trees it will be good plan to
turn the hogs into the orchard.

canes that grow outside the direct line

A good rule in pruning is to cut al
dead or disabled wood and every branch
that starts out where it is not wanted
as soon as seen.
