x X
WITH this issue the JOURNAL clos
es its tenth year, and prepares to enter
the second decade with the pleasurable
anticipations OF better things to come
than the past few years have brought.
In this the newspaper is not unlike
the individual. There are years Of
sunshine and shadow, prosperity and
adversely, joy and sorrow, sandwiched
into the lives of all, and while we NAV
not appreciate or relish the bad, they
prepare us to properly enjoy the good.
Life would hardly be worth the living
it would lack the spice, and energies
would lie dormant, were it not for the
vicissitudes that spur us on to good
efforts, and prepare us to appreciate
prosperity. In this the newspanera
and its constituency no doubt consider
that they have been sufficiently tried
BY patience and experience to properly
apprsciatl bsttes times.

DRAINAGE OF ROADS.
1t IL tho Basis of All Permanent High
way Improvements

It IL tho BASIS of All Permanent High
way Improvement
"Water is great destroyer of dirt
roads and drainage is especially im1
portant in the proper making and keep
ing of the dirt roads, because the ma
terial of the roadway is more suscep'
tible to the action of the water and mors
easily destroyed than any other high
way material used in the construction
of roads by more elaborate methods,
Side bitches are provided for country
roads in most cases, but common eX-
perience shows how imperfectly these
are made, and how inadequate even the
best side drains are to relieve the road
from it's soggy, impossible condition.
Nothing brings relief except the slow
process of evaporation, and even when
a road is dried by the sun and wind it
is generally left in a rough, rutty con-
dition," so says Drainage Journal.
"How should dirt road be drained? :?
A column might be written upon this
question alone, for, more than any
other, it affects the maintenance of
thousands of miles of dirt roads now in
constant use, besides being an impor-
tant consideration in the construction
of new roads. When water falls upon a
dirt road we aim to carry it off either
by giving the surface of the road n slope
to one side or the other, both, or by un-
der-drainage, in which the water, fail
ing to escape by running from the sur
face to the side bitches, is drawn into a
permanent drain, generally laid length
wise with the roadway and beneath it,
and so made as to carry the wafer to
some adjacent outlet. Let us consider
these matters separately. Most dirt
roads have an obstinate tendency to
| hold water. You may scrape one OF
these roads into the form of nicely
graded surface and roll it as hard as you
please, only to find that the softening
influences of the first rainstorm will
permit the wheels of the first loaded
wagon passing over it to make more or
less of a depression. This depression
serves to hold the water, and in this
manner the bottom of it is softened
and made susceptible when the next
wheel comes along, and so the deFres.
sion is deepened into an actual rut.
have never yet seen dirt road which
offered a permanent and sufficien,
drainage by side open bitches during
the wet seasons of the year. These
bitches are often carelessly graded and
always carelessly kept, being generally
left to clear themselves, and so neglect
ed that they become obstructed by
washings from the road surface and in
other ways. What kind of drains shal
we use? The ordinary drain tile used
in farm drainage will be found 20 an
swer an excellent purpose and should
be used wherever the question of eX
pense will permit.
"The drainage of highways should BE-
recognized as the basis of permanent
road improvement where the soil ant
subsoil get wet and spongy. The lay
ing of two lines of tile, one on each side
of the travelway, inside of the water
bitches, will prevent the water from
percolating through the soil under tn,
roadway and secure a firm travelway.'

A Naturalist Tells How 1t Conducted Ita
Peculiar Warfare.
1t is a common saying that birds go
but it is not generally known
that very often the case is reversed and
the birds supposed to be the enemies
of the fishes are caught In the tolls.
Several years ago, while fishing off
the Maine coast, the writer observed
what the fishermen called the running
Of the dog-fsh. One day the fishing for
cod, hake and haddock was excellent;
the following morning it had stopped as
suddenly as though command to all
the finny tribe had been issued by Nep-
tune.
The explanation was that an army Of
small sharks, swimming in from the
unknown depths of the sea, had driven
away all the edible fish. This horde was
so starved and ravenous that they were
q menace to life. If anything was
thrown into the water they rushed to
the spot; bit at the oars and sails that

WORKING THE ROADS.
Some of the Mistakes Made Where the
Old System PrevaiIs.

Old system Prevails.
A good many of our readers will be
warned out by the supervisor to work
the roads. In some cases it will be go.
ing through the form mainly, or play
ing work the roads; il others there will
be good deal of work done. Much
of this good work done is spoiled by
reason of the incompetence of the SUI
pervisors. We have seen roads rendered
impossible almost all summer by the
lack of little of the know-how on the
part of the man who was bossiIg the
job. Where dirt is piled into the mid
die of the road with plow and scraper,
1t is folly to fail to use the harrow. Ii
the harrow is not used, and used thor
oughly, the result will be that the road
will be full of holes for months to come.
When thresher wishes a first-class
track for his horses, he selects ground
that has been plowed and thoroughly
narrowed. He knows that this will
tramp down smooth and hard. Fresh
ly plowed ground or pile of fresh dirt
contains large Jumps and many com
paratively open spaces, and when travel
comes on it without being sufficiently
pulverized, it makes the very worst kind
of road. Therefore, before leaving
the road, harrow the fill thoroughly
and completely and thus prepare good
ighway.-Wallace's Farmer.

PIKE CATCHING BIRD.

dragged overheard and devoured every
thing eatable that appeared. The gulls
and other birds which were in the habit
of aIighting on the water now became
victims. Several were seen to sudden
ly disappear, jerlsed down from below
to be torn in pieces by these hounds of
the sea. In some instances bird would
escape with the loss of a leg, and doubt
less numbers were caught by the yora-
cious fish.
The most voracious bird catcher is
the pike or pickerel-a sly fellow who
turks beneath overhanging limbs or
rocks and watches for some duckling
or birding that strays from the brood.
The pike attains large size and has
been known to attack good-sized birds,
even looms, though whether it could
successfully carry away so large bird
is doubtful.
A naturalist was once watching a
pool that was surrounded by willows
whose graceful foliage fell over the
water, casting deep shadows. Dragon
flies and other insects were darting
about at the surface, and coursing back
and forth, following them in turn were
n number of swallows. which now and
then touched the water as they darted
at some insect. Suddenly, without
warming, from the dark pool the hidden
observer saw huge pike leap at one of
the birds, the latter barely escaping by
quick movement, while the fish fell
heavily into the water. Again it tried
TO catch one of the swallows, then gave
up the attempt.
Another observer was fishing in a
small lake when he noticed not far
away three young sand martins sitting
on n limb just over the water, the
mothter tluttering about them, erdeav.
oring to induce them to fly. All at once
an enormous pike dashed out of the
water and seized one of the birdlings
from the limb, the poor mother darting
about in the greatest alarm. Soon came
another leap, and in less than half an
hour this voracious fish had carried off
the three young birds.-Chicago Inter
