WORKING THE ROADS.

The Problem Of How to Secure Pef00-
neatly Coed Hlghwavs.
There is wide difference between
working the common dirt roads Of the
country and constructing . road to
serve the general interests of the pub
lie for traffic or pleasure. The farmer
is directly Interested in having good
roads to market. to church and to
school, passable 1t al times, and not
requiring an extra amount of motive
power to travel over.
But all the blowing and scraping in
the world can not make = good road.
It would be unfair and unjust to re-
quire the farmer to enter upon the
work Of grading, draining and macad-
amizing . public road. The burden
of the cost of constructing public
roads should bear equally upon
al alike, upon capital and
labor, for the common dirt
road l. dedicated to the use and
benefit Of al the public. In the con-
struction of . public road, the exercise

very onerous and burdensomc. there h
IN aversion to change. If taxation has
TO be resorted to. even though that
course will tighten the burden.
In connection with this problem
comes up another one deemed equally
as hard of solution, that Of the DISPOSE
ton of convicts. The people are taxed
for the trial and punishment of .vio-
lators of the law, and the taxation for
that purpose is onerous and heavy.
Equity and right demand that If any
it should be devoted for the good of the
general public, who pay the taxes, in
stead Of going into the pockets of pri-
vate parties. Right here comes in the
value Of the employment of convict Ia
Dor in constructing good roads. Their
usc for, this purpcse i in accord
with sound public policy, and helps
to solve the two problems of pub
lie roads and convict labor. The
inmates Of the state prisons
have no other duties TO perform than
those they may be set to. They can DO
put 1T work upon the roads at just the
best possible time for road building,
and SO can do the work to the best pos
sible advantage. They can also be set
at work on them 1T any time. to repair
them. and be kept ut it as long as may
be necessary, without in the slightest
degree interfering with ordinary agri-
cultural or other industry. When to
this it is added that road-making is
work which all able bsd:ed men can do.
whether skilled or unskilled, and that
it is just such wholesome, varied, out
of-doors' work IS prisoners must need
for mental and physical health, the ar
gument for thus employing convicts
seems well nigh unanswerable.-Dixic

THE KICKING COW.
with Care the Tesdency to Kick May He
Overcome.

with Care the Tendency to Kick May He
Overcome.
My experience with the cow born
with IN instinct for kicking is that she
can never be thoroughly cured. Some
times = heifer will try to kick the
mixer away when she il not we'll
broken to milk. Her bag and teats are
then tender, and it is not difficult to
understand why she should do her best
to escape the ordeal of milking. Some
men have SO little sympathy with .
heller At this period that they hurt the
udder unnecessarily, and pretty soon
the habit of kicking may have been
formed. With care, however, the
tendency to kick may be overcome. and
will never reappear.
But there are some &C VS. which seem
to be born kiclers. Some eight years
ago bought = very good looking cow
six years old. The owner told me she
was gentle and free from bad tricks. I
found that she was indeed very gentle
1t times. She would come up in the
lot to be fondled and waa great fl.
vorite with the children. But the sane
spring 1 bought her, and before she
come in, she would stand in the stable
and kick with both hind feet at the
cows each side of her. using first one
foot and then the other. thought it
might be because she was in
strange place and that she would be
all right when she became used to her
quarters But this was not true. For
some days she would be perfectly quiet.
then without warning her legs would
fly. She was . strong COW. and things
moved when she kicked. / tried the
plan of tying q rope about her body
just in front Of the bag, and rs long as
the rope was on she was quiet As
soon IS the rope was left off trouble
was likely to begin at any time. l
never was sure that I would get away
with my pail Of milk. After . thor
ough trial, running through number
of years, became convinced that she
was incurable and disposed of her to
the butcher.
This COW raised several heifer calves
while had her. and every one of them
was light-footed. Right down through
the whole race that fault extended.
gradually weeded them out, until I
have only one two-year-old heifer left.
She is half Jersey, and gives promise Of
being IN. extra COW, but if she develops
the habit Of kicking she will 60. for of
all demoralizing things in . dairy a
kicking COW takes the lead. Life is too
short to spend breaking kicking cows.
There are just Is good cows which do
not MEX, and why not have them2-

Fresh Fabrics Ter WoRen's Summer
Wea1.
Black and white effects in gowning
are quite a. much the fashion - the
rage for glaring and outre color mix
lures and are q decided relief to the
blaze of gorgeous dyes used both in
dress and millinery. The black and
white striped and checked silks and
Jacquard liberty satins are well repre-
sented among summer textiles. Black
lace, white insertion. chiffon, accor-
dion-p!aited .frills and black velvet rib

those of sheer white wool and India

Wool canvas varies greatly in texture.
Sometimes it is woven evenly of soft
silky threads almost like Russian net;
and again it is coarse and wiry. Black
canvas, grenadine and fancy net gowns
are made over white and bright shades
of red, green, blue and yellow and on
very fashionable French gowns over
the most brilliant single colors, mixed
iridescent shades and snowy tartans.
Very few black dresses appear. and
when seen they are Of the most costly
and elegant description, heavy with
superb jet garnitures and made up over
expensive MORE Francois.
Many of the models for summer
gowns have fat bands Of velvet or
silk ON the skirt or lace insertions set
in about four inches apart, some OF
these showing a color contrasting with
that Of the dress set beneath each row
Of insertion. Tiny ruches Of silk out
line the skirt seams, and wider ruches
trim the extreme edge Of the skirt,
ndorn the sleeves and finish the dimin-
utive shoulder cape; and on other
gowns accordion-plaited frills ripple all
over the dress from the neck Of the
bodice to the bottom Of the skirt. The
sleeve tops are . mass of the plaitings
and the little Marie Antoinette fichu OF
French pelerine IL edged with single,
double or triple rows of the frills.
Nearly every new dress of thin ma

ground that . skirt 50 made rumples

JUSTICE TO HELP.
Servants Are Entitled to Fair Treat.
AeAf.

Servants Are Entitled to Fair Treat.
Aent.
Never, under any circumstances, dis
charge q servant at q moments notice.
This Is not honest in any walk Of life:
A servant is frequently engaged in haste,
through sheer despair, and, if she fails
utterly, is discharged on the spur of the
moment. When you require honesty
from servant see to it that you are hon.
est toward her. Never allow good
girl to leave, your house at a moments
notice, for q trivial offense. II she is
angry leave her for a moment, and when
everything has: cooled down talk quietly
to her, makingsher feel that you are her
friend, and that your house Is her home.
and l am sure she will regret her be-
navior.
If you engage servant by the month
pay her on the first day of tho month; if
by the week pay her on the last day Of
the week; have little book in which
you register the receipt, and have her
sign it at each payment. AS soon as .
new maid comes to your house ask her
her full name and her home address, In
case of a sudden happening-illness or
death-you will know exactly where to
send. Servants dislike very much the
idea Of being taken 10 hospital. a dis
pensary, or to any charity. l have
known, even in this wonderfully civil
lied world, . girl to die suddenly in q
house in which she had lived for two
years, without the mistress even know
ing her full name. My experience has
been that IL the mistress would show
a kindly feeling toward the servant, and
look 4 little into her comfort, all such
kind thought would be returned ten
fold. The problem Of domestic service
will never be solved until the Golden
Rule is observed by both mistress and
maid.
Servants are only human beings, yet
we expect them to go like machines
from Ave o'clock in the morning until
II o'clock at night. too often without
recreation, without change and without
even rest. On Thursday, if this be the
allotted time OF, see that each servant
has her full afternoon. Every servant
in the house should have time to attend
church on Sunday.-Ladies' Home Jour.
