MILLIONS ARE WASTED.
Expense of Worthless Repairs Would
In Almost Every Instance
khEi Build Good Roads.

Some months ago the people of Sac
ramento county, CAL, voted to issue
bonds for road construction purposes;
but, owing to a possible defect in the
law, the matter is in the courts for
adjudication. Not long after, San
Mateo county voted on the same ques-
ton and decisively rejected it. 1t is
said that this result indicates "that
the people generally are not willing
to bond their credit for the purpose
of constructing good roads," and that
If improvements are to be made in
the highways, some other method of
providing means for it must be found.
In an exhaustive address on the SUBJ
ject, Engineer j. II. Price, of the state
highway commission, recently consid-
cred the matter in detail and showed
what could be accomplished if the
money that is annually spent in worth
less repairs should be devoted to
building permanent roads. In this re-
spect, California may be taken as a
sample of nearly every state. the same
considerations applying to all.
Mr.. Price found that every county
spends from $4,000 to $50, 900 in repairs
each year; that for II years prior to
1895, the total was $17,959,717.94. or a
yearly average of $1,623,7o1; but, as
there are other expenditures not in
cluded in these figures, he considers
the annual outlay to be S2,000,o00. and
there are no improvements in the roads
to show for it.
If this outlay is continued for 40
years, the amount expended would
reach Ss0,000,O00, and this sum would
pay for the construction of 10000
miles of good macadam, costing $1,000
a mile. There are in the state about
a 900 miles of roads, and to macadam-
tze one-quarter Of them, or 1900

Second Growth of Clover.

Every farmer who has cut clover early
must have noticed how quickly the
new growth springs up after the first
has been removed. It is at this time that
the nodules begin TO form on clover
roots, which decompose air in the
soil, making its nitrogen available as
plant food. This process is undoubted-
ly fastened by the wastage of clover
leaves in drying the clover for hay,
which is always considerable, no mat
ter how carefully the clover may be
handled. These clover leaves soon dry
into a fine powder, and are washed
by rains among the clover roots, which
they supply with just the material re-
quired to make vigorous growth.

RoQUEFoRr CHEESE.
A French Delicacy Made from a Mix
ture of MIX from the Goat
ana the Sheep.

Many efforts have been made in this
country to make an imitation or sue
cessful substitute for this favorite
French cheese, but they have met with
a small degree of success.
None of these American Pre- ducts
was of sort which could not be easily
distinguished from the genuine, and,
according to cheese experts, the Ameri-
can manufacturers have nearly aban-
doned hope of being able ever to make
a cheese which will take the place of
the genuine Roquefort.
Roquefort cheese is made of mix
ture of goat and sheep milk. The rep
utation of this cheese extends back
into dim antiquity, and Pliny men
toned it in his writings.
It is made chiefly from the milk of
Larzad goats and sheep, and in the rec
ords in France it is stated that in the
year 1866 100000 sheep and goats out
of flock of 100000 gave enough milk
for the making of 7,15O,O0O pounds of
cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese the sheep and goats are MIXED
in the evening after their return from
the pastures and after they have been
allowed to rest for an hour or so.
The evenings milk is heated almost
to the boiling point and then set aside.
In the morning it is skinned, heated
to % degrees and mixed with the morn
ing's milk for coagulation. The curd
is well kneaded with the hands and
pressed in layers into molds with per-
forated bottoms. A thin layer of
moldy bread is put between each layer
of curd.
The object of this is to hasten the
"ripening" of the cheese by supplying
the germs of the green mold peculiar
to cheese. The bread used for this
purpose is made before the preceding
Christmas of about equal parts of sum-
mer and winter barley, with consider
able sour dough and some vinegar.
When moldy enough it is ground and
sifted, moistened with water and kept
from the air until wanted in the MAX
ing of the cheese.
The curd remains in the molds for
three or four days, after which the
cheeses are wrapped in linen cloth and
put to dry. They are allowed to re-
main in the drying rooms three or
four days. Then they are taken to
the market in Roquefort, where they
are sold to the different makers of
Roquefort cheese.
These manufacturers continue the
ripening Of the cheeses by placing
them in the very damp caves which
abound in the precipitous walls of the
limestone hills surrounding the village
The caves, which are so situated that
the currents of air flow from south to
north, are considered to yield the best
cheese. The currents of air which
come from these caves are cold even
in the warmest weather.
The cheeses are left in the caves
sometimes more than a month, during
which time salt and brine is rubbed
into them, and they are picked fire.
quently with long needles to let the
salt penetrate and also to accelerate
the moldering.-N. Y. Weekly.

miles, would satisfy the commercial
needs of the state; hence, within 40
years, not only could this enormous
amount of macadam be laid, but
enough money be left over to make the
necessary repairs. Hard roads con-
structed in this manner would come
slowly, but they would come in time,
and it might prove that when the
people began to realize what they
gained from them, they would find
it worth while to issue bonds in order
to hasten the improvements.
The practice of erecting wooden
bridges, culverts and drainways, Mr..
Price finds as wasteful as present
methods of road repair. On the basis
of the expenditures of the last eight
years, the outlay for the next 40 years
would be $2,S47 900, and this for re-
pairs alone, and yet with this sum he
says he can build stone, concrete or
sewer-pipe drains and steel bridges
where necessary on all the roads in
each county named"
10 illustrate this, masonry can be
constructed at cost of from Sc to SIS
per cubic yard; concrete for about the
same. Sewer-pipe can be laid in place
for from 60 cents to $1.75 per ineal
foot, according to the bore of the
pipe. A threefoct culvert with three
foot walls will contain .63 of cubic
yard per running foot; four-foot cul-
vert three feet high, 81 of cubic
yard; a five-foot culvert, four feet high,
.92 of cubic yard, without wings; a
tive-foot culvert, with fve-foot side
walls, 1.15 cubic yards. Then let a
culvert be "a feet long, five feet high,
with span of five feet; it will cost, at
Sc per yard, $165.60, containing 27.G
cubic yards of masonry. The same
span placed with lumber cannot be
constructed for less than 500, and fire.
quently costs as much as the stone
structure. The wooden structure lasts
from five to ten years, while the con-
crete or masonry lasts forever"
The erection of permanent struc-
lures will, Gin the course of time, close
this leak in the road funds of the state.
1t is source OF expense that, in a
period of 20 or 80 years, may be entire
ly obliterated if the proper course be
pursued. This would give you more
money to put stone upon your roads.
We had better start at the foundation
and come up, rather than build from
the top down to the foundation. And
your foundations are not complete
without permanent sub-structures.'' -

From beneath the moons broad beam.

Oh, how tenderly and low
Came your answer, Ginning softly
To the rivers peaceful flow.
Peace that like river glides,
Yet peace that still abides,
Has been mine since that May evening

Never have you looked so fair.
