caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling

Soaking Seeds Before Sowing.

1t is stated that soaking seeds in .
weak solution of nitrate oi soda. previ-
Gus to sowing, induces an early GERM
nation and a more sturdy growth. The
argument is that in the presence of nj
trates the reserve substances of the
seed are more readily dissolved, that
if too concentrated solutions are used
termination will be retarded instead
of FASTENED. The experiments show
that terminating seeds tai t up nitrates
and convert them into albuminous mat
ter at very early period in their de
velopment Eleven-day-oid corn plants
showed 1892 per cent. albuminoas mat
ter where nitrates had been used, and
11.69 per cent. where without it.

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
lying streets that are not paved in
condition. This money, under our
municipal arrangement, is parceled out
to some 20 councilmen to spend in their
wards. and twice year. late spring
and fall, the councilman has some
clever man, IN whose charge is num-
Der of old men, who have done their
lest 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, am led to believe, is the want
of knowledge on the part of those who
have the expanding of the money APP
propriated for road purposes.
If the state or the general govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, would offer few thousand dol
lars, say for five best methods of build
ing and repairing roads. and then have
a congress composed OF engineers and
other capable men to canvass these
propositions and agree on 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

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
visors and roadmasters. and no one be
ermitted to act as 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. paving
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 Ill. Richmond, Scran-
ton, Pa, in Y. Y. Tribune.

it seems to me that one of the most
important problems. even when lib
