An Early Day Old Glory.

eral William Tecumseh Sherman
first gave the name of "Old Glory" to
the stars and stripes. In one OF his
speeches on a reunion occasion, he

A. j. Watrous in the Chicago
Times Herald claims that the term
"Old Glory" was first applied to the
flag by q Yankee poet during the
Revolutionary war and gives the
following as the poem. It has a
patriotic ring and is worthy of repro
duction:

FARM AND GARDEN.
STATE OF GOOD ROADS

Marked improvement Of New Jofooyeo
Pablic Highways.
In his annualreport just issued, Henry
I. Budd, state commissioner of public
roads in New Jersey. says: THE state
aid law has stimulated the property
holders of many counties to spend hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars upon
their roads, to meet the state appro-
priation."
Under this law the state has paid
since 1892 $466,59s for the improve
ment of the highways, which, added to
the amounts spent by counties and in
dividuals, makes an aggregate expendi-
ture within six years of 81, 100000 for
permanent roads in New Jersey. There
are 10000 miles of roads in the state,
and about 800 miles of the most fire.
quented highways have been improved
permanently, on modern lines. Tempo
rary improvements are being made in
every county. Many good roads
leagues and associations have been
formed. Through the agitation which
they induce they have brought forth
money and labor from their respective
communities.
Smooth, hard roads, beautified by
trees and shrubbery, have developed
under the stimulus of these local
roads leagues. Foot paths and cycle
paths have been created, and the ap-
pcarance of various communities have
been SO changed that they have be
come attractive centers of settlement.
sToo much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance of these asseciations, -
Gays Commissioner Budd. ''There is no
ROVER so useful as that which per-
suades each and every person or COM
munity to do their best to help them
selves by their cwn labor and contribu-
TONS"
A novel feature of the good roa.ls
movement in New Jersey Is the PROPOSE
ton to introduce instruction on road
building into the common schools. The
need of elementary instruction in that
direction is seen every day. The state
report says: 1.-THE ignorance that pre-
walls among the average rural residents
regarding the proper manner of repair
ing even the common. roads shows .
striking necessity for some kind Of
technical instruction, guided by which
our ordinary township authorities will

mud from the bitches into the middle

it is a common practice to scrape the
wornout material, that has been re-
peatedly washed from the center of the
road, back into the middle of the road,
only to be again washed out by the rain
or to be waded through as deep sand.

Education is to conducted along the
lines of draining, and the prevention of
earth and water from mixing ON the
roadbed; also to give knowledge of the
|propeFsadmixture of suitable earth
materials, clay, sand and gravel, in the
proportions that will make an inn
pervious roofing and form perfect
roadway for light traffic. People are to
be taught how to utilize the seashore
shells, and the shales and states that
abound in many sections.
Satisfied by the experience of the past
that no system Of permanent road build
ing can be uniformly successful unless
fostered by the state. Commissioners
Budd pleads for an annual state appro-
priation of $500, 600. He says: 'Such
an appropriation would give to each
county each year healthy mileage, the
taxation to meet which would not be
burdensome, probably no more on the
average than one-eighth per cent. OH
the ratables, and would result in an an
nual expenditure of more than $1,000
600 for improved roads, rate that would
soon place us in a position to attract
millions Of capital for investment and
thousands of progressive citizens for
permanent residents. I'm
proved highways give new life to the
country through which they pass, as
they IRE often thronged with bicycles
and other pleasure vehicles"
Interesting phases are developed il
the construction of new roads. For in
stance. Monmouth county is building a
road of bog ore four miles long, and
Salem county is constructing a high
way of oyster shells three miles long.
Atlantic county in 1ss6-97 opens q new
era in road building. inasmuch as that
county presents the first road in the
state constructed under the state aid
law out of any other material than
stone. Twenty-Five miles of gravel
road are being laid from Absecom to
Hammonton, and Camden county will
also build 12 miles Of gravel to connect
with the Hammonton road. Burlington
county has begun the construction Of
road of stone two and half miles long,
with Stag foundation.
Here is the motto of the New Jersey
public highways improvement advo-
Gates:
"Good roads decrease taxation, de-
crease living expenses, increase prop
erty values, increase farmers incomes,
increase. railroad business, promote
prosperity, promote civilization"
