The FORESTER dancing party Monday
night was a great big success in point
of attendance. good time and financial
returns. Nothing short of the Opera
House could comfortably accommodate
the multitude Of dancers that Joined
the Foresters in the happy maze Of
social whirl. Dancing space was at
premium, but in spite of the good
na'ured crowding all had a good time.
If the popularity of the Forester dances
continues to increase at its present rate
the walls Of their hall will certainly

REPAIRING OF ROADS,
nAs important Work Is Carried
On in Scotland and other r.
Foreign COuntrics.a . .

In a recent address before the Ilion
IN. ~ board of trade, Hon. Robert
MacKlnnon gave an account of what he
had observed abroad, and particularly
in Scotland, in connection with the care
and repair of roads. He said: II rode
great many miles over and around the
hills through this exceedingly interest
ing country. Scotland does not begin to
be as wealthy country as the state of
New York, but everywhere through this
romantic, billy country the roads were
, Joy to every one who had the pleasant
experience of travelling over them and
knows how much they add to the ideal
1ty and beauty of the country. a..
"How do they get these results? you
inquire. In the first place, no farmer
is allowed to work on the road. He
spends his time to better advantage,
taking care of his farm. In the next
place, no dirt is put on the road, but dirt
is taken off the read. In the next place,
not foot of road is built or repaired IN
DER irresponsible management, every
mile Of the road being under the control
of an inspector, or engineer as we would
call him in this country. = / > %f~@.@,

tract at public letting. The inspector
advertises for bids on so many miles of
road. The roads are called by names,
such as the Little Falls road, the Herki-
mer road or the Ilion road, and every
bidder of course knows, which road he
is bidding on. Every mile or so along
these roads there is little square place
made in the fields adjoining and open to
the road about Is by 90 feet, and when
the crops are all taken in, and the
ground will allow it, the contractor goes
into the fields with single horse and
cart.
II do not remember in all Scotia nd or
England of seeing farm conveyance
drawn by more than one horse. One
horse there draws m ore than two horses
here, because of the condition of the
roads. The contractor picks up all the
cobble stones and loose stones in the
field and carries them to his square in
closure. When the spring comes they
take these stones and break them into
crush stone and make what they call
road metal. In the meantime, in the
spring of the year, they see that the gut
tiers at the side of the road are kept
open, that the water is properly drawn
off, that the weeds are kept cut down
and mud, if any collects on the road, is
scraped off. When the rainy or wet
season comes in the fall of the year. then
the road metal is drawn in one-horse
wagon and put carefully on the road in
places where it is needed and it is grad
ually worn nto position by the travel on
the road, so that when the following
spring comes it is worn into position
and is as smooth as floor.
''They are, however, improving on this
system, and they carefully save the dirt
which wears away from thestone upon
the road and put it in piles, and then in
the fall they put the broken stone on
and cover it with this loose dirt and run
a roller over it and put it in place, which
very materially eSpedites the repairing
of the roads. All the stone that I saw
used upon the roads seemed to be a lime
stone, something of the character used
in the village of Mohawk, and am con-
WINGED that it is much easier to keep
smooth and perfect surface out Of lime
stone than from the stone around Little
Falls. This stone, however, l think
wears somewhat longer than the lime
stone does. | think sometimes that a
little mixture of our hard gneiss rock
and the limestone would make much
better road than by simply using our
rock alone.

of foreign roads the very opposite prin-
ciple from that adopted and in vogue in

GROWING CABBAGE.
1t VIII Mature on Any Good Corp
Land, But Should Be Literally
Fert1lized with Manure.
sject.'

The food value of cabbage is not
great, but it forms an important article
in the markets Of the world, as it is
relished by all people in some of the
forms in which it is used. tits whole
some vegetable and as a basis for
various dishes is found on bills of fare
everywhere.
1t is curious fact that this, the most
easily grown vegetable plant, is less
used in the country that in the towns.
1t is probable that a large majority of
the farmers of this country do not pro-
duce as many cabbages as could be used
in their own families, and a great many
of them do not pretend to try to supply
themselves, preferring to buy what is
consumed in the family.
Cabbage will mature on any good corn
land, but to make large heads it should
be literally fertilized with fire manure,
which has been worked into the soil be-
fore planting, and it responds quickly to
top dressings after growth has begun.
Late cabbage may be transplanted at
any time before July and make full
crop. No particular care is necessary
in transplanting it, except to have the
soil fine and in good condition. Make a
hole with a pointed stick to set the plant
Sin and set it down to the first leaves,
pressing, the soil firmly abou: the roots.
1t is useless to water it as i! will grow
without, and even in the hottest weather
will soon recoyeraand start in to growth.
Cultivate as often as possible during the
hot weather and when the cool nights
come. it will begin tomaRe heads. When
the worms appear sprinkle a little Per-
sian insect powder over the heads from
apowder gun or an ordinary pepper box
and they will not last long.
" If extra heads are desired, cover the
soil with an inch of fine manure just be.
fore fall rains may be expected and the
teachings from this will push growth
