HE LIKES THE WORK.

ly low and the yield accordingly, that
l have turned my attention to fruit
culture. In this vocation have fount
excellent opportunities for the devel.
purse. There is less labor, physically,
though success at fruit culture requires
industry and punctuality. There is Il
greater diversity of labor than is found
in most any other occupation which
will tend to prevent excessive fatigue
and build up vigorous and healthy
body. Being a great lover of fruit
which we should all know is healthy
I find it great enjoyment to work
among the trees and plants, training
their growth, watching the buds de-
velop into blossoms, the blossoms into
fruit, and greater yet is the pleasure
of gathering it for market and home
use. never enjoy better health than
through the fruiting season, and |
try to plan it so as to have fruit the
whole year around, either fresh or pre-.
served. 1 think there are great op
portunities for the development of the
mind in this vocation; in fact, it is an
utter impossibility to attain any
marked degree of success without the
knowledge of some, of the sciences
such as chemistry, botany, geology ane
entomology. From chemistry we learI
how the simple elements of the sol.
are used in plant formation, and when
and what we must apply to the soil
to supply any deficiencies; also, to fight
the destructive insects of fruit we must
seek it's aid. Botany teaches us the
parts and functions, together with the
generic and specific characters of each
plant and how best we can further
plant development. A knowledge OF
geology will aid us in selecting the
proper soil for the different kinds OF
fruit. But from entomology we learn
the most, which is essential to horticul-
ture and is increasing in Importance
each year. To distinguish between a
friend and foe of the insect world, and
how best to successfully assist or de-
stroy them, and to know their life
habits, require extended information
upon this subject. Fruit culture is a
vocation which requires constant
study, as there are new varieties, meth
DDS and difficulties arising each year

How to Tell oleomargarine.

A simple means of distinguishing
butter from oleomargarine is given in
the Mich Zeitung. 1t depends upon
the fact that the milk fat particles re-
tain their property of forming an emul-
sion with weakly alkaline fluids, while
the other animal fats either never had
this property or have lost it because
they have been melted. 1t is proba BILE
that this is the reason why butter is
more readily digested than any other
fat. If a sample of butter is shaken up
thoroughly with water made distinctly
alkaline by sal soda (washing soda)
the fat will be long time in separating
from the milky fluid, while artificial
butter will show an upper layer of fatty
particles very soon.

A ROAD LIKE THIS is A COSTLY Lux

are $4,000 trucks, carrying an average
load of ia tons, for IL miles on each of
300 days in the year at an average daily
cost of 81 for each truck. The result
is about 100000 tons transported one
mile in every year at total cost OF
$14,OOO,OOO, 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 $1O,OO0,OO0 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 on
an average poorer and rougher than
those in New York, it is clear that the
proportionate saving by the introduce
ton of the best street surfaces will be
even greater. Good roads are compare
lively cheaper to maintain and to use
than poor ones"

WORK FOR CONvlCTS.
Road Building Would Prevent Competi-

Road Building Would Prevent COmpeti-
ton with Free Labor.
In 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 ROADS
have been secured where they would
not have been built for 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. The convicts were
kept in openair 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 600 convicts at
what they have done has produced such
an effect upon the people of the rural
sections of that particularly pro-
gressive state that county commission
ers everywhere are stirring up the SUBJ
jcct of systematic road construction.
Tennessee has law that permits it, and
New York has authorized a similar eN-
pertinent. 1t seems to us that the New
York law might very profitably be
adopted in Minnesota at the next ses-
sion of the legislature. This contem-
plates the employmento of only 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 constructions 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
w 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
fuence might be brought to bear upon
them even than in well-conducted

There is an old driver at Monterey

"Yep." he replied, and fiicked one Of
his leaders with the whip.
She paused for moment for him to
give the name, but he merely chuckled
to the wheelers.

following interesting facts:
"As a result of elaborate experiment,
made to ascertain the relative resist
ance or friction of different pavements,
it has been established that while 200
pounds force is required to draw one
ton over an ordinary dirt road, 100

and Is pounds on asphalt. AS partic.

occupation which does not compete
with honest labor, which is available
for a great number of convicts to
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.
