HOW TO GET UP A "cENTuRY"
CLUB.
And Secure the Reading of the Greatest of
-Four Dollar Magazines for One Dollar.

And Secure the Reading of the Greatest of
-Four Dollar Magazines for one Dollar.
Everybody wants to take The Cen
tury during the coming year on account
of its serials, "Campaigningwi with Grant"
written by Grants friend and staff Of
ficcr, Gen. Horace Porter, and the
novel of the American revolution,
Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker" in which
Washington is one of the characters.
The Century costs $500 year, and
many people are clubbing together in
groups of four, each one securing the
reading of the magazine one week in
the month.
If you want The Century in 1897 land
who does not?) little work among
your friends will result in finding three
others who want it too. Get one dol
lar from each of them, and send $500
to The Century Company, Union squire,
New York, for years subscription.
Begin with December, and the publish
ers will send you the November num-
Der free, in which these serials begin.
There are many dollar magazines, but
there is nothing like The Century, and
by this arrangement 1t will cost you no
more than cheap magazine.

are $4,000 trucks, carrying an average
load of 1k tons, for 12 miles on each or
300 days in the year at an average daily.
cost of 81 for each truck. The result
is about 65,000,000 tons transported one
mile in every year at a total cost of
$14,000,000, or at the rate of over %
cents per ton-mile. The excessive ma
ture of this charge is seen when it is
remembered that the same goods are
now carried by rail at six-tenths of one
cent per mile. On asphalt road pave
ments the same horses could transport
load three times as heavy as on the
present rough stone pavements. Ii
a saving in transportation is proper
tional to the load carried, it would
amount to nearly $10,0O0,000 per an
mum. 1t is safe to say that at least one
half this amount could be saved by
substituting smooth pavements for
those now in use in New York; and in
any city where the pavements are OH
ON average poorer and rougher than
those in New York. it is clear that the
proportionate saving by the introduc-
ton of the best street surfaces will be
even greater. Good roads are compare
lively cheaper to maintain and to use
than poor ones"

Advantage of Large Herds.

Farmers who have large herds OF
cattle are most successful because the
cattle are consumers of much that is
assist in creating home market
Every pound of food that can be utilized
ON the farm to produce something is
so much saved in the cost OF transports
ton, hauling, etc. 1t is the conversion
OF substances into articles that the
market demands that enables farmers
to secure profits. Corn, oats and hay
are sold to advantage when used for
producing bee8, butter and milk.

Through this the fuel is put. The cap
must contain two holes which will per,
nit of proper draft. At night, fill the
water tank, and the last thing before
going to bed put the fire and the fuel in
the heater. In spring remove it from
the tank and store in some dry place.
If properly taken care of, so that it will
not rust, it will last for several years.
Any kind of fuel can be used, and it is
surprising how little it takes. For re-
moving the ashes, an old dipper is just
the thing. The original, from which a

WORK FOR CONVICTS.
Road Building Would Prevent Competi-
ton with Free Labor.

Road Building Would Prevent Competi-
ton with Free Labor.
In "A good many OF the states the in
mates of penitentiaries are already en-
p:oyed, TO a greater or less extent, in
improving the highways, and every
where the verdict Is that good rCads
have been secured where they would
not have been built for a century to
come if the taxpayers had been obliged
to initiate the work and bear the whole
cost of it. Curiously enough, this most
excellent scheme has made most prog
ress in the communities where it is con-
nected with a prison system that is
strongly and justly reprehended. In
those states of the south where they
have what is known as the "chain gang
system" the idea of putting the prison
ers at work on the highways suggested
itself naturally. Tie convicts were
kept in open-air camps with guards fur
nished by the state, and nothing was
more natural than to engage them in
road repair in the vicinity.
Where convicts are housed in great
buildings of stone and iron, and where
they have been put to labor at mechan-
ical employment, the transition is not
so simple and natural. Still it can be
made 20 a certain extent, and that with
out destroying or impeding the work of
prison reform. In South Carolina there
are now said to be about GOO convicts at
work on the highways, and the value of
what they have done has produced such
IN effect upon the people of the rural
sections of that particularly pro-
Gressive state that county commission
ers everywhere are stirring up the sub
iect Of systematic road construction.
Tennessee has a law that permits it, and
New York has authorized similar en-
pertinent. 1t seems to us that the New
York law might very profitably be
adopted in Minnesota at the next SEES
sion of the legislature. This contem-
plates the employment of only a portion
of the states convicts, to be selected by
the prison warden, probably with the
assistance and approval of the state
board of charities and corrections, who
should be put to work on road improve
ment under the direction OF experts in
road construction engaged by the state
1t is unquestionably true that the
work of reforming the criminal, of
which we must never lose sight by ex-
alting the commercial motive, is entire
ly consistent with utilizing convict
labor on the highways. There is very
large percentage of prison population
for when this would be the most de-
sirable form of labor. BY judicious
selection of men, and by engaging them
in small gangs upon the highways, it
is probable that more wholesome in
fluence might be brought to bear upon
them even than in well-conducted
prison itself. AT any rate, here is an
occupation which does not compete
with honest labor, which is available
for a great number of couvicts 10
whom mechanical pursuits are not
naturally adapted, and whose results
would be in the highest degree bene-
fetal to the state. We believe that
further experiment along this line
should be made at once, and that our
own community should attempt it.--St.
Paul (Minn.) Globe.
