AGRICULTURAL HINTS
THE OLD COUNTRY ROAD.

From the busy haunts of farmer-folk
II starts on its winding way,
Goes over the HILL and across the brook,
Where the minnows love to play:
Beside the mill with It's water-wheel.
And the pond so dark and deep,
Then up TO the tavern and village store,
And the church, where the dead lie asleep.
You would never think that the country
road,
From the hill to the store. could be
So long to a boy with an errand TO do
And another boy TO see.
You can never dream how short II Is
From the farm TO the frozen pond.
Nor how very much farther 1t always Is
To the schoolhouse just beyond.
oh, the country road! at the farther end
1t runs up hill and down,
Away from the woods and the ripping
brook.
To the toiling, rushing town.
But. best of 1t all when you're tired and
sick
OF the weary haunts of men,
If you follow 1t back, 1t will lead you home
To the woods and fields again.

much interest, and are making expert
ments on their own account, which
have already brought out valuable
suggestions as TO the details of con-
struction. The Cambria Iron company
of Johnstown, Pa, has joined heartily
in the work of the department, and is
cooperating in the development of
our plans. The result has been that
very promising designs and methods
of construction have been evolved,
sufficient, ut least, for experimental
construction, and the Cambria COM
pany will soon lie prepared to furnish
the trackway for experiments or for
larger use.
The advantage of the steel roads
in the reduction Of the pull required
to move load from an average of
40 pounds per ton on macadam road
TO eight pounds on the steel track is
sufficient to overcome Macy objec-
tions," continued the secretary; but,
in fact. the objections to steel roads
have mainly disappeared under the
present Investigations. The obstacle
Of original expense is overcome by
the reduced price of material, and the
anticipated high cost of maintenance
avoided by doing away entirely with
wood in the construction.
The danger of horses slipping on the
rail in going up and down hill is met
by indenting the rails used on grades
sufficiently to catch the calks of the
shoes without roughing the tread for
wheels.
THE difficulty of low joints is met
by making the joint stronger than any
other part of the track, and the dam

bead on the inside. The rail is inn
bedded in gravel laid in trench
which is well drained. A little gravel
is spread between the rails for the
horse path. The rails are tied to-
gether at the ends and in the middle.
The present design is for an eight
inch tread, seven-sixteenths of an
inch thick.

Gravel roads cost less than macadam
and vary from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile. The seven-foot brick road ut
Monmouth. Ill, cost 90 cents per run
ming foot, or 81, $50 per mile. The eight
foot brick roads at Cleveland range
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile, but this
included heavy grading. Material for
steel roads of the heaviest class of pres
cnt design cost, in small quantity, about
$500 per mile. The amount of ma
terial, however, is less than 100 tons per
mile, and if the present prices of steel
should be maintained material for long
lines of road could be furnished for
about So 900 per mile. The lighter class
of steel rails for ordinary country roads
need not exceed so tons per mile, and
need not cost much over 81 900 per mile.
The cost of grading and track-laying
will be additional, but that need not be
heavy on the western prairies, for the
rails are all prepared to be bolted to-
gether."

Mr.. Hare describes the man, called

His arms and legs straggle away

said to him: How do you do, R? y
and he answered. "Quite well, thank
YOU" The next day the man was as

lowing note:

as to call Mr.. Burton dear sir thereby
giving him the impression that you

R was sadly distressed, and few
days later Mr.. Burton received the fol-
lowing:
Burton. am sorry to trouble you

COOPERATION PAYS.
A Wisconsin Dniryman Points Out
Some of Its Advantages.

The success Of the cooperative sys-
TEN is brought about in the main by
its predominating simplicity. No bust
ness enterprise can meet with success
without a complete understanding of
its details by the promoters. In the CO.
operative system in vogue to-day the
monthly statement issued shows TO
each and every patron the part he has
enacted to accomplish the given whole.
He sees just what he has done, and what
it has benefited him in dollars and
cents. lie sees just what his employees
have accomplished, and sees just what
they receive for the same. He knows
the value of his milk product for the
month in point of test. He knows the
test is true, unbiased, and he questions
il not. His weights are actual. He
has full confidence and pride in the en-
tcrprise and realizes that he himself is
part of the corporate body, with
rights unquestioned. On the other hand,
in the case of the homeopathic cream
cry, the patron is in no way consulted
as to the management of its affairs.
He has no voice in the selection Of its
officers If he questions the accuracy
of his weights or tests or insinuates
that the price for his product is less
than he reasonably supposes it should
he, he is trespassing upon dangerous
grounds. lie has no right to an in
sight of the working of its affairs. He
is simply expected to be patron, whose
duty is merely to furnish the material
from which others are to make profits.
The marked success of the CO.
operative creamery is noticeable in al
most every locality in which it has been
established. 1t almost invariably in
creases the area of territory and sup
plants all other systems, its honest.
open, simple methods winning the adj
miration of all observers. In my coun-
ty, where five years ago the cooperative
system was unknown, there are to-day
in successful operation 16 creameries.
averaging in receipts 5000 to 10000
pounds of milk per day, and in the sum-
mer months some of them reaching
over 10000. Almost every one of these
factories supplanted other systems, and
il is n noticeable fact that in nearly
every instance the same territory under
the cooperative system has largely in
creased. and in many cases doubled its
product, owing to the popularity OF the
system and the mistaken confidence of
the producers. l predict for the sys-
TEN a successful future.-H. S. Bell, in
