LAWS OF THE ROAD.
Facts Not Known to All Who Go Upon
the Highways.

Facts Not known 10 All VINO oo Spo
the Highways.
The talk of the many thousands is
often turned toward the law OF the
road, for there is no one who does not |
make use of roads either to ride, drive
or walk upon. For the protection Oh
the travelling public It is necessary that
certain rules regulating travel upon the
public highways be generally observed.
Our statutes do not require traveller
to keep upon any particular part OF the
road, nor to turn out in any certain d.
rection, but 1t Is universal custom In
this country for vehicles and animals
under the charge of man to take the
right side of the road when meeting
others. if it is reasonably practical to
do so. A team should, in general, keep
the right side, whether meeting an
other or not. Yet, when two are going
in the same direction, and one wishes 10
pass the other, he should pass on the
left side, as the first team has the right
of way and cannot be expected to de-
v:ate from his course upon the right
side. One passing another must use
great care to avoid collision, as moth
ing but necessity will warrant him in
doing this, for both, going in the same
direction, belong upon the right side,
ard by any deviation from his proper
side one assumes all risk of the expert
ment. The rule must be very strictly
observed at night, or when, by reason
of storm or fog, it might be difficult to
distinguish others approaching.
A traveller on foot or on horseback
!. must give way to a vehicle, and light
' ly-loaded team must give why to q

MANY housewives who are extremely
frugal in other things seem 10 have no
idea of the value Of time. A good deal
of time is daily wasted and much extra
labor expended in preparing the meals
by having TO wash one saucepan IN
which to cook o second dish that couid
as well have been cooked with the same
fire and watched at the same time as the
first. Or a towel must do duty as a
strainer or colander, no account being
made of the time required to wash the
towel. nor OF it's becoming worn or
stained. Or silver spoon is used 10

Hint for Apple Growers.

Valuable lessons may be learned from
the experience of apple growers the
n.st season. One Is that fruit packed
and placed in cold storage in too ripe
coodition will not turn out satisfactor-
;lv in the spring Large quantities put
swav last fall as fine. and counted as
long keepers, are turning out poorly
such fruit as was stored in best condi-
t,on Is now selling at top prices OF the
season. If the rule holds that year o.
great abundance and over-bearing Is
followed by moderate yield the mex
season, the apple crop OF 1897 will prove
much more manageable. Spray your
trees intelligently and thoroughly, tna'
nrofits accruing from the sale OF choice
fruit next fall may make mp for losses
the past season.-Orange Judd Farmer
