Value of Good Roads.

It has been urged by some that
farmers living near the city are bene-
Gted by bad roads in the more distant
districts, because they can manage to
get to town and realize higher price
ior their produce, while those living
farther away are unable to reach the
market. With o similar fallacy it has
been stated that the country merchant
is benefited by bad roads because the
neighboring farmers are compelled to
sell to them and take their goods in ex-
change.
The increased value that good roads
bring to farmers estate will more
than recompense him for what he con-
siders a loss in the price of his pro-
duce, and in addition he reaps the ad-
vantage of purchasing his necessities
At lower price. It is the complete
and free interchange of commodities
within our own borders which brings
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber.-G. p. Y. Rollo, at Cheboygan

in the centre of district the roads
Of which are notoriously bad, and it is
no wonder that he should now be in
favor of good roads. The ex-Vice-
President expressed himself quite
strongly on the subject in the follow
ing language: "I am in full sympathy
with the efforts now being made to
secure good roads throughout our
country. This is living question.
There is little difficulty in getting
from one large city to another, or even
in crossing the continent, but the i'm
portant question is how to get from
the country home to the school-house,
to the church, to the market. 1t is a
gratifying fact that this subject is now
undergoing thorough discussion in
many of our States. The result will
be beneficial. Like other important
questions, it will work out its own
solution. I agree with Governor
Markham that good roads mean ad-
vanced civilization. >"

lIoulting.


From July to December is the moult-
ing or shedding period for the poultry.
It takes about one hundred days from
the time hen first commences to moult
until the process is completed. Some
hens will commence to moult much
earlier than others, thus finishing be-
fore the cold weather sets in. This is
very desirable, as hens seldom lay
during the moult. or the larger part of
it, therefore if they commence early,
thus finishing early, it will be deci-
ded gain, for then they can be gotten
in a laying condition before cold
weather, and we all know what that
means. The feathers are composed
largely OF nitrogen and mineral mat
ter. The first process is the loosening
stage, when the feathers loosen and
drop out, at times leaving the bird
almost naked, thus cold and disease
from exposure) are apt to follow.
Hens should be carefully housed if the
weather is at all cold or damp. When
the new feathers commence to come
in it causes a great drain on the
hens body, especially of such sub
stances as goes to furnishing nitrogen
and mineral matter. Corn, wheat, ETC.,
furnish the hen principally with car
bon (fat), etc., while grass, bugs,
worms, etc., furnish the nitrogen and
mineral matter. Thus we see that the
foods best adapted to the moulting sea-
son are the heterogeneous foods. 1t
will be seen from tho 4boye that at this
period the hens should have unlimited
range, so that they can themselves
gather good supply of such articles
as they need-The Epitomist.
Lifting Large Rocks Out OF the Ground
Field boulders are usually buried
either wholly or in part in the surface
of the ground. To pull such boul-
der out of the ground requires an enor-
nous amount of power, unless much
hand digging is given beforehand.
The sketch herewith shows q way to
lift the stone as it is dragged out by
team of horses or oxen. The inclined

Properly Qualified Teachers.

The facts. in my opinion, will admit
Of only one conclusion-viz, that in
teaching the results are not determined
by the methods employed, but by the
ability of those who use them. In other
words, the first place must be given to
the personal equation of the teacher,
while methods and devices play only a
subordinate part. 1t seems to me, there
fore, that the evils now ascribed to un-
comfortable circumstances should be at
tributed in large part to lack on the
part of the teacher of those qualifica-
lions which are essential to success
Consequently when reasonable de-
mands are not met within reasonable
time limit we are justified in inferring
that the fault lies with the teacher and
not with the pupils.
An instructive experience once en-
countered will serve to illustrate this
point. On leaving classroom in which
! had heard few Rotations oompli-
mented the teacher on the intelligence
Of her pupils. She replied: "You musi
not give me credit for that. These chill
dren are Russians, and one can do any
thing with Russians. It SO happened
that on the next day I visited GLASS
room in which the children were ex
ceptionally dull. On this occasion the
teacher remarked: "You must no
blame me for their stupidity. Ny pupil
are Russians, and one cannot do anything
with Russians. DIR. ]. M. Rice il

valuable Advice From the Bench.

A country justice had been elected
but few days, when young lawyer
rushed in and demanded capias. Now,
that justice did not know oapias from
police cell, but he disliked to admit
his Ignorance. So he said:
"Now, sec here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer and. I fear, lack expe-
rience. I would advise You not to be
too hasty. Don't be in hurry. Wait
"a hours and then, if you think best,
come to me, and will give you ca
pias."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The Justice spent esanglt t 5hs Femainde,
of the day getting acquainted with the
writ called capias. When the limb Of
i the law appeared the next morning, the
court felt himself qualified to issue ca
phases by the bushel..
Before be could speak, the young law
yer said:
"Mr. Justice. you were right. Iva
too hasty.; have that matter fixed NJ
all right and do not need a oapias.
have come to thank you for the goot
advice, and also have brought you tn
