ROADS IN ENGLAND.
How They Are kepAtn Repair All the
Year Around.

How They Are KepAtn Repair All tho
Year Around.
English roads are good because they
are we'll built and we'll cared for, is the
conclusion arrived at by writer who
has been investigating the subject. Ho
says that they are the finest anywhere
in the world. Some of the highways
leading out of Bath were made by the
Romans, and all of the other highways
are of scientific construction, with deep
foundations and ample provisions for
draining. Besides, they receive constant
supervision and care. Every county
council has a standing committee of
roads, which takes charge of the high
ways and keeps them in repair. The
committee is divided into sub-commit-
tees, each of which is assigned dis
trict.
There is an inspector for each divis-
ion, who employs force of road mend
ers and holds each responsible for the
portion of road assigned to him. The
road mender lives in cottage on tho
line of the higway, which he is required
tc keep in order. He goes over the road
every day and removes in barrow
everything that is unsightly. After
each heavy rain he looks out for breaks,
and mends them by dumping loads Of
flint where needed. Supplies of flint
arc kept along the roads at intervals,
ready for the use of the road member.
He watches the road the year around.
and if there is any neglect he receives
sharp warning from the inspector.
This is the English system of maintain
ing good roads, and it will be necessary
to have similar system in this country
before the roads here will compare with
those of the older country.

RAISING ASPARAGUS,
Some Varieties Which Have Given
General Satisfaction.

General Satisfaction.
A conveniently-sized bed is about six
feet wide with {; path two feet wide on
each side. This will require six rows
one foot apart and a bed of that width
so feet long will be ample for an ordi-
nary family, requiring about one pound
of seed. 1t will require about three
years from the time of sowing until the
bed is in full bearing, but once estab-
lished is good for 20 years. 1t should
be sown in drills one foot apart and
when the plants are four or five inches
high they should be thinned out so
that the plants will be nine inches apart
from each other in all the rows. Great
care must be taken for the first year to
keep down all weeds as soon as they
appear, else they will choke up and de-
stroy the young Seeding asparagus.

THE STRUGGLE FOR FOOD.

It Isn't Always Simple to Get Steak for
Fifteen Cents.
It was in a cheap downtown restau-
rant, where some of the walters are re-
formed pugilists. The customer was a
weak-enough looking little man. He
came in and sat down at the end table.
"Whatcha want?" demanded the
waiter.
the customer.
what, top sirloin steak?" snarled
the waiter.
''Is there a top sirloin anything else?"
asked the customer, meekly. "Did you
think wanted top sirloin chicken or
a top sirloin duck? When a man asks
for top sirloin he wants top sirloin
steak, doesn't hep

waiter. when you come in here

said the meek man bit nervously.
"They amt no please about it, -
snorted the waiter.
He walked away three steps toward
the kitchen. Then he turned and came
back. ''Say, young fellow" he said,
''it amt a piece O. steak that you
goin' t. git it.
Saying which, he hauled off and
swung his right around with force
enough to have driven the meek man
through the wall. The other custom
ers jumped up and rushed at the wait
er, but they were not quick enough.
The meek man had let out with his left
foot and kicked him in the shius. That
kick bent him forward, and, as he
came, the meek man swung his right
and caught him in the short ribs. There
was a grunt that was heard a block
and the waiter fell in his tracks. His
wind was gone and agony was written
in his face. The meek man. stood owe,

CALVES FOR THE DAIRY.
l.. A. Keene Tells How He Raised PrOf.
liable Animals.

liable Animals.
Our method of raising calves intended
for work in the dairy herd commences
with the breeding. We aim to get good
roomy animal and depend more on
transmission than upon any special care
in raising. But we take good care OF
the young things, for on this depends
largely the future usefulness of the
dairy cow. Care is taken that the pens
are kept clean and well bedded, and sun
light, bright hay and clean water are
supplied.
The calves are usually weaned from
their dams when five days old; they
learn to drink readily at that age. They
are then fed On new or whole milk for
al least one month, from which they
are changed onto skinned milk. They
are taught to eat oatmeal at very early
age and they are given all the oats they
will clean up with a little oil-meal added.
At three months old and afterward they
are given small allowance of corn in
addition to the oat ration. Thus they
are fed during the first year.
I want them in good growing condi.
ton. but they must not get excessively
fat, for bone, muscle and good consti-
tuition, coupled with good strong diges'
ton, are what is wanted in the dairy
COW. We are now growing a machine
into which we can safely feed our corn
and oats and have it converted into milk
and butter. During the winter of the
second year, having made good growth
these young heifers are fed all the
bright hay they will eat with two OF
three quarts of cut ear corn. Usually
we have sweet corn.
They are bred to drop their first
calves at % to 80 months old. These
young cows are stabbed by themselves
and carefully handled-in fact, thu
dairy cows should all be pet cows-ant
we find them ever ready to convert lib
eral quantities Of feed into rich milk
We keep we'll in mind the fact that they
must now be fed so as to make goot
growth as we'll as good butter.-Dalot:

THE PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.

The deeper the soil and the greater
abundance of manure that is used the
greater will be the crop. Until the Pal
metto was brought out, Conover's Col
ossal was the leading sort, and justly
so; but Palmetto is not only much
earlier, but is also q better yielder and
is more even and regular in its growth,
and must eventually supplant the old
favorite. Average punches, containing
IS shoots, measure ID inches round and
weigh about two pounds. The Pal
metto has now been planted in all parts
of the country and appears to be equally
adapted to all sections.-Farm and

How to Cultivate Beets.

Beets thrive best in soils that, are
rather light and well enriched. The
seed should be sown in drills one foot or
fifteen inches apart and one inch deep,
as early as the ground can be worked.
When the plants are large enough thin
out to stand six inches apart in rows,
and keep the patch well cultivated. An
ounce of seed will sow about so feet of
drill, and it takes from five to six
pounds to the acre. Dakota Field and

Some Hint. About Pruning.

Intelligent horticulturists have al
most given up trying to educate the
public to put away the Ratchet, saw,
shears and to a great extent the prun-
ing knife, and to do all with the finger
and thumb in May and June. In the old
world this knowledge is more diffused.
Writing of orange culture in Italy. one
of. our consuls says that there the OBJ
ject aimed at in pruning is to bring the
greatest surface of the tree possible to
the direct action of air and light. The
spherical form is considered best. To
keep, this form, shoots are pinched off
in June each year. In the early spring
weak and dead wood, and forgotten use
less shoots, are cut out to let the light
and air in among the branches; sharp
knife must be used.-Western Plowman.

HE kAVA-kAvA SHRUB ana probably was
\Ptper Aethysticum'1 used for centuries
by the natives before it's extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
OF quinlne from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early

and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is wonderful discovery, with rec

himself as being in constant misery, often com.
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in a
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is I'M
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs James

six doctors in vain, that she was about to give

promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood. O

Exports of American Cheese.

The cheese business in the United
States has not had the attention
and encouragement which it should
have, while our Canadian neigh
bors have given this branch of the
dairy interest a great deal more at
tention. During the last fiscal year
there was exported from Canada $14,-
253,O02 worth of cheese. In the same
period there was exported from the
United States $5,497,539 worth. It was
not because we have had market at
home for our cheese, but because Cana
dan cheese is better than the American.
