\ TRAIL OF ETooUENCE FOLLOWS THE FREE
SILVER LEADER FROM COLUMBUS TO To-
LEDO-PECTLIAR ADVICE TO WAGE
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1896-02-06

the latter part of June, or else when
farm work is mainly finished in the
fall Much of the time during the
year the cobblestones remain on the
streets, drainage imperfect, but the
tax is worked out, and the road must
care for itself most of the year.
This method prevails in this city.
Road taxes to the amount of $4,000
to $4,000 are levied to keep the out
living streets that are not paved in
condition. This money, under our
municipal arrangement, is parceled out
to some 90 councilmen to spend in their
wards, and twice year, late spring
and fall, the councilman has some
clever man, III whose charge is num-
her of old men, who have done their
best days work long ago. They are put
to work on the streets, and they have
an easy time; the taxpayers get less
than 25 per cent. for their money. and
the public gets disreputable streets to
| pass over. One of the greatest mis-
takes, 1 am led to believe, is the want
of knowledge on the part of those who
have the expanding of the money ap-
propriated for road purposes.
If the state or the general govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, would offer a few thousand dol
lars, say for five best methods of build
ing and repairing roads, and then have
congress composed os engineers and
other capable men to canvass these
propositions and agree on a manual
which could be formulated. with proper
illustrations, with all the questions
that would be useful 10 persons who
might have the care of roads, it would
be of the first Importance. Then there
should be for each state or county a
board of engineers, who should each
year. under direction of county COM
missioners, make surveys of the roads,
presenting diagrams, which should be
tiled and topics given to supervisors,
with proper instructions for caring
for the roads.
Engineers and those having care OF
railroa1 beds understand that they
should be protected by thorough drain
age, but this is taken small account
of in streets and country roads. Let
the civil service rules apply to super
yisors and roadmasters, and no one be
permitted to act rs such until he had
been examined by the board of county
engineers, answering fully all the ques-
tons laid down in the manual, as
above, and his appointment approved
by the court. He should be required to
spend the money appropriated for
roads in a faithful manner. paying
The usual wages in the district, and to
employ able men to do the work.
Proper penalties should be inflicted for
failure of duty ON the part of anyone
intrusted with the expenditure of
money raised for road taxes: and all
taxpayers should be vigilant in see
ing that supervisors and roadmasters
are prompt in keeping roads in repair
all the year, instead of one or two
months.-William H. Richmond, Scrsn-
ton, Pa, in n. Y. Tribune.

principal destructive agencies. Clay is
very sensitive to water and temperature

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

A well-known orchardist always
stops cultivating the orchard in July to
allow the wood to harden up.
The valleys that are subject to late
.rosts in spring and early frosts in the
fail. are no place for orchards.
The growing of Seeding apples is
not a very encouraging business. But
we need varieties in the west.
There are thousands OF fruit trees
that have died from utter neglect.
Throwing away money when there was
no sort of excuse for it.
The demand for fruit ana flowers is
constantly on the increase. Women iiv-
ing near large town could study fiori-
culture and grow flowers with profit
Among the failures of apple culture
may be conspicuously mentioned
changc.ble winters, bad locations, I'M
suitable varieties, Indifferent culture
end insects.
1t is the opinion of an apple grower
that a noreast slope with bowider
clay soil is the best place to plant an
apple orchard, but we cannot all get
that kind O: location or soil to plant on.

for sprain is made by mixing the
well-beaten whites of six eggs aud half
crpful of table salt together. Apply
between thin muslin cloths.
Dreaded Eggs-Boil eggs until
hard. Remove the shells and cit the
eggs in half, lengthwise. Dip the
pieces N raw egg, then in bread

and fry in hot butter and lard; drain
and serve hot.-Housekeeper
Fig Pudding.-Chop half a pound
of figs and mix with teacup of grated
bread crumbs, a teacupful of sugar,
two tablespoonfuls of melted butter,
four eggs, beaten light, and five ounces
of candied orange and lemon peel.
Turn into creased mold. steam two
hours and half. Serve with pudding

Fried breakfast Bacon.-Remove
the rind and cut up several slices of
bacon, scatter in the frying pan and
fry gently. Beat up six eggs, add to
them salt and pepper, pour over the
bacon, let it set nicely and turn. Have
ready slices of toast, on which lay the
bacon and eggs, pour over little melted
butter.-Western Rural.
Tartar Sauce.-Put in salad bowl
two egg yo!ks, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon,
while adding to this slowly and grad

teaspoonful of vinegar at time when
the sauce is too thick. Add some fine

and two tablespoonful of prepared
mustard; mingle well and serve.-Bos-

A German cure for colds is called

up the volk of an egg in pint of
water; put in little butter, with two
or three Jumps of sugar and a table
spoonful of good whisky or rum; set

PACKING BUTTER.
A Meths<i by Which the Delicate Fla5oI
May BE Preserved.

"A M0thSd by Which the Dencace FLAVOR
May he Preserved.
Good butter may be safely packed to
keep six months or more If the right
way is taken. It used to be done years
ago, when it was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply the
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worked quite free
from the buttermilk by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for If cannot take
anything from It, the fat being wholly
insoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of It. which
it must be, or it will be a detriment to
the butter, as producing changes of the
fat into volatile acids. by which the but

The best packages for this use are

are soaked in BRINE. then scalded, then
washed in two or three waters then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while

firmly pressed down SO as to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filled to within
half an inch of the top, a clean cloth,

process by which the fin, flavor of the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.

4 Popular Demand for Them Is lseins
Created Everywhere.
Massachusetts has probably taken a
more advanced position than any other
state i'll appropriating money raised by
taxation for road purposes, and is aid
ing townships and counties with lib
eral amounts, when equal appropria-
tons are made by them, and it is pos
sible that state has devised methods
aud plans for constructing roads that
will be the nearest perfect, and also in
economy in spending money appropri-
ated.
With my acquaintance with country
roads ald streets in the cities of north
ern Pennsylvania, more than so years,
it seems to me that one of the most
important problems, even when lib
eral amounts OF money are appropri-
ated, is the question how to eNpend
the money to derive proper value. The
custom which prevails in our section
is to lay road taxes which ara worked
out by the landholders, under super
visors or roadmasters, in an Indifferent
way and at their convenience, after
crops are in and the hoeing done, in

.prontsine New Potato.

One of our most promising new &c
tatoes is Maule's Thoroughbred. This
variety belongs to the Rose class A
test of it at the Ohio station gave a
weld of 3s7 bushels to the acre, while
several pirate growers report nearly
equally good returns with only aver
age care. 1t is too early as yet to de-
termine the true value of the variety,
but it might pay those who are able to
experiment to give it fair trial. 1t is
well to remember in determining the
andvalue of a potato that quality, time
Of maturity, shape. color and keeping
qualities, as well as the weld, must be
considered.
