Nor have we been wanting in atten-

warned them, from time to time, of at
tempts by their legislature to extend
an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
We have reminded them of the clrcum-
stances of our emigration and settle
ment here. We have appealed to their
native justice and magnanimity, and
we have conjured them by the ties of
our common kindred to disavow these
usurpations which would inevitably
interrupt our connections and CORES
pondenca. They, too, have been deaf
to the voice of justice and ccnsan-

quiesce in the necessity which de-

We, therefore, the representatives
of the United States of America, in
general congress assembled, appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our intentions, do, in
the name and by the authority Of the

they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all po-

the state of Great Britain is and ought
to be totally dissolved; and that as
free and Independent states, they have
full power to levy war; conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and do all other acts and
things which Independent states may
of right do. And for the support of
this declaration, with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor. JOHN HANCOCK.

the most sacred relic of our infancy as
a nation 1t has been printed and re-
printed as it should be. Every Amerl-
can should know it by heart EVERY

Yet it is safe to say that 1t is not reau

celebration OF late decades the custom
has disappeared almost entirely IL
ought to be revived. No celebration Oh
the day should pass without its being
read and without it's history being re-
told.
The immortal document was drafted
by Thomas Jefferson, amended signify
by his colleagues of the committee OF
the Continental Congress, and reported
and adopted on July A, 1776. On June
7th of that year Richard Henry Lee
of Virginia. offered in the name of his
state a resolution in congress:
THAT these united colonies are, and
of right ought to be, free and indie
pendent states"
This resolution was seconded by
John Adams, of Massachusetts; the de-
bate upon which began on the follow
ing day, and continued two days.
On July 2, 1776, Lees resolution was
called up, and delegates from twelve
colonies New York not voting unani-
mously declared that these united
colonies are, and of right ought to be,
free and Independent states"
But as the declaration was not re-
ported and adopted until July 4th, the
anniversary of independence was fixed
on that day. The document, which
had been relegated to committee for
preparation, is as follows;

Ridge, n. j., declares that since his town
has built a few miles of macadam
roads, property has almost doubled in
value. New Jersey farmers are enthu-
siastic for the further extension of the
state aid system, under which the i'm
proved roads of that state have been
built.
Good roads have paid for themselves
in New Jersey. They have paid for
themselves in North Carolina, in Massa-
chusetts and in Connecticut, the states
in which the greatest progress has so
far been made in their construction.
France, Germany, Holland and Belgium
have found macadam roads profitable.
Is there any reason why they should
prove Improbable in any state in the
union, with our vast agricultural inter
ests? Our exports of grain are growing
steadily from year to year. Machinery
is used at every step Large amounts
are spent for this machinery each year,
because of the saving it effects. If our
agriculture is to continue TO compete
in the markets of the world, those who
are engaged in it must practice economy
at every step. The loss due to bad roads
is one of the greatest wastes of energy
connected with farming as carried on in
this country. Why not. then, invest in
good roads, which will save farmers
more than any other investment they
can make? - Otto Dorner, in Cycling

A FAST COLT.
He Had Earned the Right to he Called
CYCLONE.

Several men gathered about = horse near
the western market the other morning,
commenting upon the prominence Of the
beasts ribs and general lean and lankiness.
The animal belonged TO a farmer living near
Ypsilanti, and, it was said, never permitted
grass TO grow under its feet on the road.
The farmer was not pleased with the re-
marks and the strong differences that the
poor thing had never realized the sensation

BOX FOR FARM WAGON.

tables, Strawberries, cream, etc. The
drawers at the bottom of the box will
be found convenient for eggs in two or
three tiers of pasteboard egg filters, or
in the patent wire filters, while the
rallied space on top will hold any articles
that may be carried in bags or boxes.
Many farmers have a strong prejudice
against "pedding" their produce, as
they call the house-to-hoUse sale of it.
This is an unfortunate prejudice, for
selling directly to the consumer is one
of the most profitable methods of dis
posing of farm crops. Nor need it be at
all disagreeable, if rightly managed.
Have nothing but the best upon your
cart; have regular routes and regular
customers, and they will watch cor
your coming and make your trading
agreeable. Selling at first hand means
a steady cash income, and prices much
higher than would be received from
dealers. Then, too, it often means the
sale of produce when the dealers are
oyerstocked, and not willing to pur-
chase AZ any price.
A valuable point to be borne in mind
by those who thus sell their farm wares
is not only to Lave choice articles for
sale, but to carry them 10 the customers
in attractive shape. Let the wagon look
neat, being well painted and having the
name of the farm painted in bright let
tiers upon the sizes. Then let the driver
be neatly dressed. pleasant and gentle
manly in his address, and the work will
prosper. These little matters are Of far
more Importance in the successful sell
ing of farm products than many would
believe. Attractive appearance from
beginning TO end sells goods. Don't try
to build up such a trade by using an old
ramshackle wagon. with the articles for
sale dumped indiscriminately on the
bottom; such plan doesn't attract pur-
chasers.-N. Y. Tribune.

to statuary hall, the room formerly
used by the house of representatives.
There he showed the marvellous natural
echos of the place. II would make

In the rotunda the guide pointed out
the magnificent fresco work encircling
the inner part of the dome; and he also
called attention 10 the lamentable fact
that some of those paintings have been
ruined, because, through the negligence
of somebody, the dome has been in a
leaky condition. and the paintings are
smeared and completely destroyed.
Next came visit to the hall of the
house of representatives. There was no
session. so the guide took his visitor
on to the floor of the house, and point

moments sat in the speakers chair:

and there, upon the walls along the

for a Job and was engaged by Il farmer,
saying, he had plowed the deep for
years. he thought he could pillow the

and. after good nights rest and
breakfast, started out to plow. The
farmer hitched up yoke of oxen, with
a horse on the lead. Taking two turns
around the field and then turning the
team over to Jack. he said he would go
to the house for family prayers. II was
plain sailing for short time, but the
team didn't like Jacks way of nayi-
