REPAIRING OF ROADS.
On in Scotland and Other
Foreign Countries.

In a recent address before the lion
On. y board of trade, Hon. Robert
MacKinnon 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
a 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, hilly country the roads were
a Joy to everyone who had the pleasant
experience of travelling over them and
knows how much they add to the ideal
ity and beauty of the country.
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 I'M
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.

filed with joy at finding her mother. The
rest of the happening is best told in the
mothers own words. She said:
"0n the 28th of Sept, 1896, while in the
bloom of health, Beatrice was suddenly and
severely afflicted with spinal meningitis.
Strong and vigorous before, in five weeks
she became feeble and suffered from para
lytic stroke which twisted her head back to
the side and made it impossible for her to
move limb. Her speech, however was not
affected We called in our family doctor,
one of the most experienced and successful
practitioners in the city. He considered
The case a very grave one. Before long lit
tie Beatrice was compelled to wear plaster

consulted, electric batteries were applied,
but no benefit was noticed until we tried

"Busy in my kitchen one afternoon was
startled by the cry of Mamma from little
Beatrice who was creeping towards me. L
had placed her on an improvised bed in the

to come back and made up her mind to go to

now taken about nine boxes of the pills and
her pale and pinched face has been growing

fore taking the pills she could rest but few
hours at time" DR.. Williams Pink Pills

AN IDEAL ROAD.
Lancaster Pike, Between Philadelphia
and Lancaster. Pa.)

tract at public letting. The inspector
advertses 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 iields with single horse and
cart.
II do not remember in all Scotland or
England of seeing farm Conveyance
drawn by more than one horse. One
horse there draws more 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 a one-horse
wagon and put carefully on the road in
places where it is needed and it is grad
ually worn into 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 the stone upon
The read and put it in piles, and then j.
the fall they put the broken Stone on
and cover il with this loose dirt and run
a roller over it and put it in place, which
very materially eXpedites the repairing
of the roads, All the stone that l saw
used upon the roads seemed to be lime
stone, something of the character used
In the village of Mohawk, and ! am con-
WINGED that it is much easier to keep a
smooth and perfect surface out of lime
stone than from the stone around Little
Falls. This stone, however, / think
wears somewhat longer than the lime
stone does. l 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.
'We have in this example of the care
of foreign roads the very opposite prin-
ciple from that adopted and in vogue in
the state of New York. Our system re-
suits in loss to the farmer in more than
financial way. 1t is, a loss to him So
cially, spiritually and Intellectually. 1t
largely destroys every comfort of liv-
ing in the country, and is detriment to
him in every way. If did not believe
that the peoris N the country could be
bettered by good roads l would never
have had anything to say on the sub
ject."

GROWING CABBAGE.
II VIII Mature on Any Good Corn
Land, Hut should lie Literally
FertiIized with Manure.

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. 1t is a 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 III the country that in the towns.
1t is probable that large majority OF
the farmers of this country do not pro-
duce as many cabbages as could be used
in their own families, and 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 fine 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 9
hole with pointed stick to set the plant
in and set it down to the first leaves,
pressing the soil firmly about the roots
1t is useless to water it as it will grow
without, and even in the hottest weather
will soon recover and start into growth.
Cultivate as often as possible during the
hot weather and when the cool nights
come it will begin TO make heads. When
the worms appear sprinkle little Per.
sian insect powder over the heads from
a powder 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
ard make the heads large and solid
