THE ROAD PROBLEM.
Some Suggestions I'm Regard to Roads that
Will Go to Think About.

Some Suggestions I'm Regard to Roads that
Will Go to Think About.
The good stone roadway in the Unit
ed States, according to the ccmputa-
ton of Gen. Roy Stone, the accomplished
engineer of the bureau of roads of the
department of agriculture, was in
creased during 1896, by 1000 miles.
This seems little enough until we re-
member that at the end of 1898 the good
stone roadway In the country cid not
exceed 1000 miles. If we should con-
tinue at this rate it would take more
generations than we have patience to
think of before the reproach of bad
roads could be lifted from our country.
But If the good roads could be increased
in this proportion each year-this is,
doubled-we should soon accomplish
something worth while.
There is unquestionablya widespread
desire for good roads in this country,
but the people are hampered by the
cost and hindered by the apprehension
of too heavy road taxes. And then,
notwithstanding all the agitation and
all the recent literature on the subject,
the people at large are still dreadfully
ignorant One ignorant set think road
improvement means the universal sub
stitution of macadam pavements for
dirt roads; another ignorant party
is deluded with the idea that the ma
cadam pavement makes dirt roads I'M
necessary. Both of these parties are
as wrong as possible, and hurt the
cause they seek to advance.
In answer to one false idea it may be
said that every macadam pavement
should be paralleled with we'll
drained dirt road. A good dirt road Is
pleasanter to use eight months in the
year than macadam pavement. And
during just that time is the period
when macadam road is injured by
travel. 1t is in dry and hot weather
that the macadam pavement is worn by
traffic.
Then again, macadam pavement
could not be builtin 500 years to re-
place all our dirt roads And it would
not be well, anyhow.
If we could teach the country people
to make these dirt roads properly and
then drain them sufficiently, they
would answer every purpose. But how
to do this is the question. One way
suggests itself at once. Let county So
cieties be formed and prizes offered
for the best district in each township.
This would conduce to thought and
study. To make a good dirt road and
keep it in repair is so easy that none
but a simpleton could fail to under
stand proper instruction.
This is hint to the organized wheel
men and the department of agriculture
as well. But there is no suggestion
whatever in this hint that the high
ways should not have stone pave
ment over part of each such road-a
stone pavement paralleled by we'll
drained dirt road.-Leslie's Weekly.

France Want. More Fi.h.

A large quantity of salmon eggs were
recently exported from this country
to France, where an effort is being
made to rectify the extreme scarcity of
fish. Some interesting data have been
published on this subject. In the course
of seven years 3,s14 tons of salmon
from Great Britain reached the Paris
market, during which period only
$50 tons of French salmon were sold
there. At what is very modest price
for salmon on the other side of the At
lantic, two shillings pound, this rep
resents a sum of about $4,00O,000 paid
to Scotch and English vendors. Dur
ing period of ten years the imports
into France of other fresh water fish
reached nearly 10000 tons, and of sea
fish nearly 10000 tons per annum. To
remedy this state of affairs it is now
suggested to levy licenses, varying in
amount in proportion to the style
of fishing contemplated, the money to
go to the expenses of maintaining an
efficient system of inspectors and
agents. OF these officials there are in
France only 1913 for 100000 miles Of
rivers and streams.-N. Y. journal.

in Kew, England, watches are sub

to heat them in an oven and to freeze

does not affect their works, the watches
are deemed perfect timekeepers.
The eyeball rests in a cushion OF
fat, by which it is surrounded on every

appearance so common in disease.
The extent to which the tramway
system, which was only generally
adopted in comparatively recent times,
has developed in England is strikingly
shown by a parliamentary return issued
recently. The length of line open for
public traffic in England and Wales is
1902 miles; the number of horses en-
ployed by the companies was 27,175, and
the total number of passengers carried
was 5s5,04S,162 last year. The gross
receipts amounted to e3,322,9 1854, and
the working expenses to 6 2,493,ss2.
The total yearly demand for ivory
billiard balls, when trade in general is
good, is estimated to be about 10000

other countries. Bad times reduce the
number of balls required to about s0,-
600 to $4,000 per year. AS those ele :
plants teeth which are most adapted
for billiard balls are getting scarcer
and scarcer, great difficulty is expert
enced in meeting the present demand,
and prices accordingly rapidly advance,
being at present more than 16 shillings

the clover for hay as soon as In bloom,
and at once bed the land for cotton
without any fertilizer at all, and note
the result. Sow the clover seed all
among the cotton again at the last
working. During the winter get all
your manure out on the clover and In
the spring pillow all under for corn. You
will now begin to see results. LePeat
the rotation and in few years you will
wonder why you never farmed before.
Buy no fertilizers except potash and
acid phosphate and always use them
on the peas AS you feed the
increasing amount of forage you
will soon have manure enough
to cover your corn tend. and you
will find that you are making oats and
corn to sell, unless you increase you
cattle to consume them, which Is the
thing to do if you can feed them at q
profit. Try this plan, and do not be
afraid of using the fertilizers literally
for they will cost you but half of the
kind you have been accustomed to ap-
ply to cotton, and you can buy twice as
much profitably. Instead of 200
pounds per acre of a complete fertilizer
on the cotton use 400 pounds per acre
of potash and phosphoric acid and get
better results from it. In short, go to
farming and stop fertilizer gambling.

world. 1t yields twice as many of these
luscious bivalves as are grown in all for

present century it has put on the mar
ket 400, 100000 bushels of the toothsome
mollusks. These have sold for the
enormous sum of $25O,00O,00 Almost
all of this country is dependent for the
abundance and cheapness of this edible
on the supply of the Chesapeake. From
here also come very nearly all OF the
oysters used for canning. In fact, the
output of this industry in Maryland is
equal to one-sixth of all the fisheries of
the United States put together.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century has been reckoned at
100000 tons. Until lately the can
ming firms have had much trouble in
getting rid of the shells, having to pay.

not give away. Recently, however,
they have been able to sell them. They
are now shipped TO all parts of the
country and are utilized variously for
roads, for lime, and employed in max
ing coal gas. They have also been
found to serve almost as well as stone in
the manufacture of special grades Of
iron for railway beds. Cultivators of
oysters also employ them, having found
that they afford suitable surfaces for
young oysters to attach themselves to.
They are likewise used to some extent
as chicken food. They are very good
for hens, the shells of eggs being large
w made of them. The trade receives
$4,000 ina single year for the empty
shells.
Starfishes are the oysters worst
enemy. Other animals the young oys-
tiers have to guard against are crabs and
boring snails. They are also in danger
of being stified by mud. In Pacific wa
tiers stringrays are their most dreaded
foes. The little crab that lives in the
shell of the oyster has always excited
much interest. 1t is found in about
five per cent of the bivalves. 1t is a sort
of parasite of the oyster, whose shell
protects it and whose food supports it.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DR.. VIII
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited q photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ina he was the representative of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of full set of plates for the direc-
ton sheets, labels, etc., of the famous Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when ne
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
.and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc.,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
search of his apartments in Utica found q
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
b;smutb. antimony. a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams

doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc

In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills fol
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store il
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita
lions at discount OF from per cent. to pei

fact that he had picked them up in small
