An American expert estimates that
forty million dollars is expended an
nually in the United States on the
highways without material improve
ment from repairs. If the Europeans
obtain better results at lower cost, it
is because the systematic care of their
roads is a practical detail of common
sense and efficient local government
They have good roads because they
pay for them in local taxation, and in
sist upon having them kept in order

Broad rtres the Thing

A writer in the Indianapolis Journal.
in an article on Broad VS.. Narrow
Tires" argues strongly for the former,
saying, in part:
without one single dissenting voice,
the students Of road economics say that
the greatest road destroyer Is the mar
row-tired wagon. 1t cuts like a knife,
and no matter how carefully the sur
face is graded and leveled a rut Is
bound to follow its use. 1t finds every
soft spot and cuts until fine reservoir
is formed to hold the rains. On the
contrary, the wide tire not only keeps
gravel but also dirt roads smooth and
in good condition. The amount of bear
ing surface presented to the road pre-
vents any material cutting, but, on the
contrary, acts as a roller, soothing out
rough spots and solidifying the smooth
ones. When the frost is coming out of
the ground in the spring the narrow
tire gets in its work of cutting the sur
face and forming ruts to start the sea-
son With, while the wide tire is in itself
a r6admaker, Smoothing and packing

also easier on the team. A much heavier
load may be hauled with the same pow

To postpone at such vital time as
this regulating the nerves and purify

Men and women distressed by nervous
trou bles or the effects of impure blood
cannot afford now to lose day before
taking advantage of Paine's celery
compound.
In order to avoid disappointment ac-

thing else than what people ask for is
evidently not disinterested. He has an
eye to profits more than to the good of

There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something be-

have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for.

Within the past year, among the
thousands of hearty testimonials to the
wonderful curative powers of Paine's
celery compound that have been re-
ceived by Wells, Richardson & Com
pany-among the thousands of grateful
letters received from every state and
town in the country, there have come
no less than six hearty Endorsements
from members of the national house of
representatives.
All were willing that their expert
ence should be published, believing
rightly that they might thus do good to
others.
In these columns have already been
published, the letters received from
Congressman Meredith, Bell, Grout and
Powers. Now comes letter from
Congressman Robert Neill of Arkan-
sas, as follows:
'My home is at Batesville, Ark.
During the last spring and summer my
eldest daughter, then II years of age,
was in very poor health, suffering from
general debility, nervous prostration
and frequent slight fevers. She had

Cherries.

The Early Richmond is the prime fa
vorite. 1t is rapid grower healthy,
vigorous and always fruitful. When
planted on different slopes the time for
picking this one variety may be extend
ed over twenty days. The cherry is
not as freely planted as it should be-
1t perhaps gives better satisfaction for
the cost involved than any other fruit.
Suitable varieties like Early Richmond,
Montmorenci, English Morello and
Wragg, planted on average soil and
freely and frequently cultivated, will
bear in three years, and in the sixth
year will ordinarily yield forty or fifty
quarts to each tree. The Early Rich
mond and Montmorenci are the strong
cr growers and ultimately yield the
most bushels per tree because they
have the largest number of branches
and grow to a larger size and can set
and carry more fruit than the English
Morello, and when in full bearing at
the age of nine or ten years the maxi
mum crop of the Early Richmond is
about three and a half bushels per
tree, that of the English Morello about
two bushels per tree. With fair care
these trees will live and do we'll until
the age of IS or 20 years, and may be
destroyed sooner by neglect and lack
of cultivation and the result of severe
drouth without cultivation.-Green' s

Flower Beds,

Lay your plans, so there will be no
delay when the time comes for plant
ing, says an exchange. There is no in
vestment you can make that will bring
a larger proportionate return of pleas
urc than a small sum devoted to flower
seed. 1t is good time, while the men
have leisure, to prepare the beds. If
the ground is poor and the subsoil COM
pact it will pay to dig it out at least two
spades deep and fill In good soil. When
it is done once it is done forever, and
an occasional top dressing is all it will
need while you live. The men and
teams have leisure now; this work can
be done wherever the ground is not
frozen. If the soil is fairly good throw
out a spade deep, and then take out
another spade deep and haul it away,
I>placing with good surface soil from
the woods or fields, mixing in some
sand, If needed, and some old manure,
or chip dirt from wood pile A bed pre-
pared in this way, if the water does not
stand in it, will produce a vigorous
growth and abundant bloom in most
garden flowers, and well repay the
labor. Some few kinds do best IN poor
soil, or in special locations, but the
great majority thrive best in a deep,
rich, moist, but not wet loan. When
such a bed is once prepared it needs
only an occasional top dressing to keep
1t in fine condition forever.-Farmers'

Cheese Considered Healthfu1 Article
of Food-Three Horses Can Often BE
Profitab1y Used-Have Variety in
Making Cheese at Home.

Until within a comparatively recent
time, all the cheese made in this coun-
try has been of home manufacture.
The method usually was where only
two, three or four cows were kept. to
use two messes of milk, skimming that
twelve hours old, at which time proba-
bly, one-half of it's butter fats, and
those containing least caseine matter,
would have risen to the surface, and
mixing this with the new milk of
either night or morning, this was heat
ed to 40 degrees or $50 degrees. and
as it cooled rennet was added. This
was usually from a calf's stomach
whose digestive juices, dried and fine
ly powdered, when put into the milk
quickly coagulated it. If the stomach
of calves could not be had those of
pigs were equally good, as each con-
tanned the pepsin, whose use was to
partially digest the milk. In Holland
there was general use of hydrochloric
acid, which answered the same pur-
pose. Thus while milk and especially
scalded milk is hard to digest, the
cheese made from it is generally con-
sidered an aid to the digestion of other
substances eaten with or before it.
Hence it is regarded as healthful ar
ticle of food, especially for those with
weak tomachs.-American Cultivator

The Idaho Pear,

The Idaho pear Is pear of great
hardness and will grow where scarce
ly any other pear will. The editor of
the Plowman visited the originator of
the pear two years ago. The pear in
shape is more like an apple than pear.
1t is above medium size, and is of good
flavor. 1t is not an extra keeper, but
it is fine pear for as late as say the
first of November. AS grown in the
East, or Middle West, it is described
as being of medium to large in size
8. 10 and IL inches in circumference,
of Duchesse shape, though rounder,
flesh finer grained than that variety,
quite as good as the leading market
