"Poor little SOUL" said Anna, sud-

REFORMS ARE NEEDED.
Anticipated Road Building Methods
Should De Discarded.

The organization of good roads as
ISOLATION in any city is movement to-
ward reformation. The people who
live beyond the city limits have more
interest in this matter than the town
people, but nearly all do more or less
driving or wheeling, while every family
Is interested in the cheap Transports
ton of farm produce.
The farmers have more to gain by the
improvement of highways than any
other large class of people. Preachers,
doctors, mail drivers and travelling
agents are all small classes who indi-
vidually have a large concern in the
state of the roads, but collectively do
not suffer priyations at all comparable
10 that which the farmers endure by
reason of bad roads. The produce which
the farmer sends to market is hauled to
town or taken to the railroad station
over the country highway. The goods
he purchases for his own use must be
conveyed part of the distance to his
home over this route. He drives his
family to church, or to town, or visits
the neighbors over such roads as are
provided in his district. If the road is
o bad one he can only take half load

has found it necessary to take anything
in payment that is offered. The man
who wants overalls or towels gE@Sieet-
ing or cotton bagging may come from
away down on the Muddy in hottest
Nevada, O hundred miles away. He
may bring rock salt to trade, or butter
and eggs or dried fruit. He may come
from across the Arizona line and bring
lumber from the forests that fringe the
grand canyon CT the Colorado.
Wherever the customer comes from and
whatever he brings he is accommo-
dated. Possibly $1,000 in cash passes
the door of the mill in year, but Mr..
Judd declares that the total is not more
than that. The cotton batting manu-
featured is sent to the big cooperative
store belonging to the church in Salt
Lake, and brings cash or It's equivalent
in merchandise credits. Outside of
that the expenses are met without the
passing of a>dollar.
Pay day furnishes one of the novel
ties of lifetime to the visitor. The
cashier, who is also bookkeeper, time
keeper and paymaster, takes his place
in warehouse adjoining the mill.
When the time comes for closing on
Saturday evening the men, women and
girls file into the warehouse. Each
operative checks up the time credited
for the weeks work and makes his
wants known. The groceries, meat,
butter, eggs and sundries are weighed
and measured out and charged as an
Offset against the credit for work. Cen
orally the balance is in favor of the
workman, and generally the balance is
allowed to accumulate until the en-
ploye needs it,. Then if it happens the
mill cannot supply the creditor employe
with the things he wants most. an order
on the big store in St. George is given
and the account is squared. If the en-
ploye is about to be married and needs
furniture for house and lumber for
the construction of his home, he gets
an order for his furniture and lumber.
If he wants to buy piece of ground,
he can always find somebody who will
trade ground for mill orders. His doc
tor will accept the orders in payment
for services, but that is an exceptional
thing. for the primitive Mormons, those
who have rot been affected by Gentle
associations, rarely call in physician
for anything except surgical cases.
They still believe in the laying on of
hands and amounting with consccrated
oil as cure for all the ills flesh is heir
to.-N. Y. Sun.

DWARF PEAR HEDGE.

interfere very little with the planting
Of fruit trees over the whole interior
surface of the two acres, it will be seen
that on a given amount of ground one
can raise much more fruit 10y using
this outside hedgerow method. 1t is
possible to crowd the little trees in 4
hedgerow, because they will be on the
outside, and can thus have plenty of air
and sunshine, though very close in the
row; and though the row of dwarf pear
trees may be quite close to the inside,
larger fruit trees, the latter are rot
crowded by the former, since they stand
up above them. This sort Of work is
not advisable on large commercial Or
chards, but on the home acre in the vii
lage lot, one wishes to make the most
of every foot OF ground.
Planting so many of these little pear
trees, selected winter sorts, and chose
that king among pears, the Anjou, and
the scarcely less inferior Lawrence.
Both these pears do finely on the ounce
stock, and both are winter varieties.
With such fruit one can store in cool
cellar and unload upon the market
when the market is most in need OF win
ter pears. With fall fruit one is very
nearly at the mercy of the market, for
he cannot hold the fruit for any length
Of time.
My own trees are set about four feet
apart. In future paintings l shall in
crease the distance somewhat. In set
ting the trees be careful to get the point
where the pear stock and ounce root
Join several inches below the surface,

the roots a mulch for protection

DWARF PEAR.HEDGE.

1t Is n Source of Profit us Well as a
Thing of beauty.
There are numerous shrubs that are
suitable for making hedges about ones
lawn, whether one prefers evergreens
or deciduous shrubs, but the number is
limited that can be used in hedgerows
that are Of both use and beauty. The
barberry is one of the latter, these
bushes making very graceful but not
densely leaved, growth; but the bar
berrys fruit is not desired in large
quantities, nor is it a desirable plant
to have near wheat fields, as it harbors
one stage of the rust fungus of the
wheat.
On my place am planting hedgerows
of dwarf pear trees, using winter vari-
cites of the fruit almost exclusively.
Such hedgerow is, of course, hardly
suitable for the front of ones lawn, but
for side rows, and for use in the rear of
ones house, the dwarf pear is quite IN
Objectionable. AS for beauty-wcll,
anyone who has seen long row of
these little trees in full blossom will not
soon forget the sight. They are very
attractive little trees, also, when In
full leaf, without the bloom, as they
should be kept we'll trimmed back to
secure good fruiting, as we'll as good
hedge. 1t is surprising, too, what an
amount of fruit one can thus raise upon
even small place. In my own case, l
am running pear hedge around two
acre lot, and am now using also some
cross hedges in the rear of the build
ings. 1t will take ut least 300 trees to

T,cc KIN MANY Chicks.

1t is known that brood of chicks
that are apparently well will suddenly
begin to droop and die, especially when
the weather is very warm. In such
cases the cause is usually lice. There
may be no lice on the chicks when en-
amined on one day, yet in two or three
days more they may have the large lice

POULTRY ON The FARM.
Prof. Gilbert Explains Why 1t Ia q
Source of Profit.

Source of Profit.
Prof. Gilbert, of Ottawa, Canada, in
answer to the question: Why is poultry
valuable to the farmer? gives the fol-
lowing reasons:
1. Because he ought by their means
to convert great deal of the waste of
his farm into money in the shape of
eggs and chickens for market.
9. Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year revenue
producers with the exception of per-
haps two months during the moulting
period.
3. Because poultry will yield him n
quicker return for his capital invested
than any of the other departments of
agriculture.
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves, if allowed to run in plum or ap-
pie orchards, will destroy all injurious
insect life.
5. Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parts
of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmers wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend to otherdepartments.
7. Because it will bring the best re-
turns in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winter season-when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
nder any circumstances. with proper
management, poultry can be made with
little cost valuable adjunct to the
faIm.-Farm News.

Breeding Up Poultry Stock.

The best way to get flock of stand
ard bred fowls is to begin in small
way ard breed them up yourself. A
sitting of eggs, or, better, two or three
hens ard a cock of the desired breed,
may be bought for small amount, and
the beginning is made. Thereafter it is
only matter of two years if eggs are
bought or of one if fowls are bought.
before the fou idation of good flock
may be laid, o after that it depends
wholly on ju9eious selection as to
whether the feck be kept up TO its best
or not. Where home breeding is begun
the experience acquired leads to follow
ing the best methods and the greatest
success.-Farmers Voice.
