good plan to get the teams and men all
out together, and, by a little system,
you can get great deal more done. OF
course, it is hard to do so, but once get
your district in that habit and they will
think there is no other way.
Perhaps some may think that the
first part of this is all Imagination, but
I know of one road district (and pre-
sumo there are others) that has not
drawn enough gravel in two years to
cover 90 rods of road in good shape. Yet
they have scraped and scraped and will
probably continue to scrape.
Anyone who has driven so miles with
a horse knows that when he gets on a
gravel road he gets on good road. It
is very seldom that you see railroad
company drawing sod, sand and clay TO
ballast their road.
If the proof of the pudding is in the
eating, the proof of a good road is N
its smoothness and lasting qualities.
And well-made gravel road will
knock out sod, sand and clay road
every time.-Cor. Michigan Farmer.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HOWL FROM MICHIGAN.

This Man Pleads Eloquently for substan-
tia1 Gravel Roads.
/ want to make a small howl in re-
gard to road-making. 1 do not suppose
it will do any good, but it will relieve
my mind. This, as we all know, is the
season for the farmer to go out with the
new road machine and scrape the sod
along the side of the road into the mid
die of the same and call it road.
It is very nice for few weeks, and
then comes a little rut here and an
other there, SO that by the time the
winter sets in we have muddy, rutty
road to ride over. And it is not a few
rods, either. for road district can do a
mile or two of it in the time required
to work on the road" Now, why can
not they work, say, 20 or 30 rods with
the road machine, make a, good, wide
roadbed, and then draw on good gravel,
not sand? Almost every district has
a bank of gravel within its limits. If
not on the road, go back on the farm.
II the farmer is a good, generous,
free-hearted man he will give it to his
own district. If not, cancel his road
work for the gravel. He certainly
should be willing to do that. It is a

is it any wonder that the New
York World, which did all that great
paper could do to defeat Mr.. Bryan,
finds itself compelled at the close of the
hot campaign to give this estimate OF
the defeated candidate: "Mr. Bryan has
been defeated, but he energies from
the campaign one of the foremost men
of his time-strong, brave, manly-a
popular political orator without a rival
the representative of the south and
west, young, stainless, tireless and
thirsty for power."-Buffalo Times.

THE BERRY INDUSTRY.
Profitable Only Where the Local Market
Is Fairly Good.

Profitable Only Where the Local Market
Is Fairly Good.
1t is being demonstrated that the
ordinary farmer who has no local
markets for berries cannot make much
money growing them. Shipments to
city markets have been proving very
disappointing, owing to the fact that
many have undertaken to help out
farm incomes by producing from one tc
five or more acres of berries, and city
markets are deluged with stock of or
binary quality. Berries must be sent
by express to insure prompt delivery
and the charges for carriage often ap
pear exorbitant. Whether this be true
or not, the charges are out of all pro-
portion to the receipts, and when crates.
boxes and picking are paid for out of
the receipts from the commission mer
chant, not infrequently nothing re-
mains for the grower. Except for ex-
perienced horticulturists, the only safe
market for the berry-grower to-day is
local one. Ii there is home demand,
or if one can be created in community
or nearby town, berries pay we'll; but
beyond this there is in this branch of
horticulture no outlet for the farmer
who wants to get away from staples

SETTING FRUIT TREEs.
Some Things to BE Considered When
Starting az Orchard.

Il often proves to be a perpleXing
matter where to set an orchard. There
are a great many things to be consid-
cred, and each farmer must do this for
himself. All that anyone else can do is
tic give some of the leading principles
upon which success depends. Ii pos
sible, fruit trees should be placed where
they will be protected by woods or
a hill, but if such cannot be had a wind.
break should be supplied q would use
for windbreak evergreen trees set in
zigzag rows and but few feet apart).
Avoid placing trees where they will be
exposed to high winds, or early and
late frosts in the fall or spring. Often
through neglect of this whole orchards
are ruined.
The nature of each variety should be
studied and those that thrive best in
dry soil should be placed on such
soil should be placed where there is no
liability to drought.
Some farms are not we'll adapted for
the production of fruit, but can be
greatly helped by manuring, draining
or cultivating. Fruit trees should be
placed as near the house as possible, as
they are more apt to get the proper
care there than if they are at distance.
Care should be taken not to place them
where they will cut off all views of the
farm, and where they will be in the way
in harvesting your grain. Upon some
farms it seems as though an effort was
made to shut off from view every bit
of landscape and every nice building
within range of human vision. thus
making the home unattractive.
If your orchard should be along a
public highway, do not place your most
delicious fruit next to the road. as in
that case you will have plenty of help
to gather it. There are people who have
no regard for the rights of property.
It is time for those wishing to set
trees this fall to order them and select
the places they are to occupy. Always
bear in mind that an old tree requires
more ground than a young one, and
place them accordingly.-M. L. Miller.

ROADS ARE IMPROVING.
Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Bear
Good Fruit.

Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Bear
Good Fruit.
From scores of localities in every
corner of the land comes the cheering
message: Our roads are better than
they have been" And the same thing
holds true of town and city streets.
1t is very clear to an intelligent OBJ
server in position to broadly view
the field that more and better road
building is being done this year than
has been in any past year.
The agitation for improved highways
has begun to produce practical results
The people are getting their feet on
the ground, and are Undertaking. tile
worth of their theories regarding good
roads.
1t is pleasant to note that the people
everywhere appreciate the many ad-
vantages to be gained from improved
highways. Every mile of good road
makes it easier to secure more of the
same sort. The example is contagious.
Even in localities where no work for
the betterment of roads has begun,
there has been created a dislike for
mud that will result in it's early disap-
pearance.
When the people or community get
sufficiently tired of poor roads they
mend them. A few wheelmen, if they
are live members of the L. A. W., can
so point out the disadvantages of mud
that many others will unite with them
in working for good roads and clean
streets.
Everybody wants good roads when
their attention is called to the matter.
With some one to act as leader they
will follow. Pick out just the right
sort of man, and put him in charge of
your streets and highways, and he will
make it more of a pleasure and of
greater profit to reside in his neigh
borhood.-L. A. w. Bulletin.

CROSS SECTION OF GREENHOUSE.

as permanent as where brick is used.
The walls of this greenhouse are very
low, just allowing the caves to clear the
ground satisfactorily, SO that snow will
not lie upon the glass. Pipes are indi-
Gated in the solid benches for use in
sub-irrigation, if this plan Of watering
is desired. The heating pipes are sus-
pended over the benches, as in the ordi-
nary greenhouse. The same construc-
ton could be used in a three-bench
greenhouse, in which case two walks
would have to be dug, leaving solid
bed between them. In this case, the
two roofs would have to be supported
by purlin plate, and uprights. One
can work out the details to suit his own
circumstances. Where cedar posts
are used as a foundation, it would be
necessary to heavily mulch the ground
just outside the walls to keep the frost
out of the ground adjacent to. the solid
benches, as frost there would render
the maintaining of heat in the benches
much more difficult. A solid founda-
ton is, of course, preferable.-Webb

The Proper Use of ounces.

Tt is rather q curious fact about the
ounce that this fruit is less used by
itself than as an accompaniment for
other fruits. Apples. and even pears,
are much improved by having some
ounces mixed with them when cooked
or canned. Sweet apples, mixed with
one-third their bulk of ounces, make
very good pies. There are some kinds
of pears, like Bartlett and Seckel, that
are sweet, and when canned they be-
come almost tasteless. A few ounces
put up with them greatly improves the
eavor.-American Cultiyator.

THE M'kiNLEY ADMINISTRATION.
VIII Doubtless Be Dominated by the
Great Boss Hanna

VIII Doubtless Be Dominated by the
Great Boss Hanna
Mr.. Bryan has accepted defeat man
fully, as he met manfully the shock of
combat, and has telegraphed to Maj.
Mckinley his congratulations in this
wise:
Senator Jones has just Informed me that
the returns indicate your election. and
hasten to extend my congratulations We
have submitted the issue to the American
people. and their win is law.-William ].
Bryan
That Mr.. Bryan made a gallant
struggle for victory his most bitter enc
mics will eoncede. That he comes out
OF the conflict a greater man than he
was when he entered it, that his efforts
for election have been characterized by
tact, dignity and almost unprecedented
ability, his opponents ought TO admit.
Defeat must bring disappointment to
him, but it cannot bring modification.
1t is well that the defeat is one which,
though not sweeping, is still conclusive.
We who pressed the Bryan cause
dreaded the effect of the huge republic
an campaign fund, of the coercive meth
OBS employed by republican sympa-
thizers, of the seeming conspiracy OF
the press to befog the issues and to be-
foul the candidates of the democracy.
All of these agencies were employed
against the democratic ticket to their
fullest degree, but, however great their
inuence, they were not the determin-
ing factor in the election. The issues
were submitted to the people, and the
people expressed their convictions-re-
pudiated Bryan as they 1epudiated
Cleveland in 1885; struck down democ-
racy as they struck down republican,
ism in 1892
Mr.. Mckinley will now become presi-
dent after one of the most holly con-
tested elections of the later years of
the republic. He will have a house of
representatives at his beck and call,
and senate so nearly in accord with
his views that little tact alone on his
part will be needed to bend it to his
wishes. He will be the ruler for four
years-the ''strong man" who, as Mr..
Clcveiand's minister to the Court of ST.
james says, the American people need
to keep them orderly. Win he rise to
the occasion? Will he discard the as
sociates whose character. more than
his, has inspired doubt of him? VIII
he restore prosperity" or - failing
that, as anyone might fail-will he at
least strive for justice to all men and
for the demolition of special privileges
to any men? Probably he will try, for
no man was ever big enough to be-
come candidate for the presidency
who had not in his heart ideals which
scared above subserviency to any class,
| or particularly to any mercenary in
terest. It is not Mckinley. but his as
| sociatcs, whom the people dread. and
| if he shall govern, indeed, and not
| through ministers chosen by Mark
| IIunna. his administration will be not
dangerous even though it may not be
| inspiring.-N. Y. Journal.
