r. American Roads Are Improving.

America is a country Of poor roads,
and those working for highway reform
are laooring in a wise md just cause,
bat it IS worth noting what great pro-
gress has already been made. About
ten years ago it was emphatically as-
serted in England that the bicycle
could never become popular here be-
cause the roads were so poor. To-day
America is the greatest cycling coun-
try in the world, and there has been
more advance in road improvement
during the last decade than in any
previous twenty years. Baltimore

Seuarate Quarters For PIGS.

Whenever a barn has baru base

should be fixed the winter quarters
for the hogs. AS there lisa strong dis.
agreeable smell from the pigpen. the
basement should cot be where other
stock is kept, and of course not near
the house. Not only horses and
sheep, which are dainty i'll their feed
ing, but even the COW, which IS less
aaected by foul odors, vii! refuse to
eat food that has been where the
stencil from the hogpea could get at
it. Yet We have known farmers to al
low hogs TO run in the same stable
7ith cattle aud horses, and then Won
der why the latter so often get 'oa
their feed" and lose flesh. The hog
alone will thrive under sGeh circun..
stances, though even the hog in its
effort to keep warm will crowd close
around the larger snimals TO gather
heat from their bodies. In this way
the hog is apt to be stepped upon or
kicked, 80 that the practice is not best
even for him. The pigs winter quar-
ters should be made warm. and also
light, having wall on the seGtt side
with large double windows il it
through which the winter sunlight
may stream. II all the other sides are
walled tight, and bunch Of chopped
straw is put i'll one corner, the pigs
will make their nest in that aud sleep
at night, but in sunny days taey will
huddle together where the sunlight

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
variable 1t opened about steady and
many Of the first sales through the early
part of the day were made at steady
prices with the day before, Later, ad-
verse reports from other western mar
kets lent a quivering tone to the trading
here, and at the close the quotation was
q full cents lower There was good
demand for hogs and they sold readily
at the governing prices. The quality was
generally good and the average weight
was higher than for some time past.
There was a very fair run Of hogs alto
gether, but yet not enough to supply the
demand which took in al that was
offered from all the divisions and at the
pest prices possible, as the general tone
went. There were five cars to cross the
scales, aud they all showed UP very fair
stock and in nearly every case went
straight and without cut-out or sorting.
There were more hogs reported and they
would have sold at once had they aD-
peared. The receipts generally were very
fair as to volume, and this market was in
line with the rest in this respect. The
hog division gave way TO the cattle end
of the trade as TO activity, but the effort
and the buoyancy were good enough in
the hog department. Only the want Of
hogs made any lack of business in the
swine end, as the demand was good
enough and there were several buyers on
hand to take any fair to good fat butcher
stock offered. It was not a heavy day
as to hogs, but all shippers in we're well
satisfied with their sales, and the trading
was active so long as the hogs lasted.

WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Oct. 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool market: THE wool mar
ket has been decidedly quieter during the
past week, the volume of business trans
acted being the smallest recorded for sew
eral months. This quieting down of the
trade is not unexpected, however, after
such an excessive activity as had previ-
ously ruled. Most manufacturers proba-
bly, concluded their heavy purchases to
cover their light weights and have evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds to wait a
while before purchasing more wool. Some
Of the mills are taking small lots to piece
out with, and the demand, such as it is,
has been quite general, not being con-
fined to makers of any one class of goods.
The situation, as far as prices are con-
cerned, is unchanged. Prices are firm
but no higher; and are not likely to be.
while the present quiet condition contin-
ues. The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 424S,0OO pounds domestic and
15S, 900 pounds foreign, making a total or
! 446, 00o against a total of 19S0,000 pounds
for the corresponding week last year.
Sales since January 1, 1899, amount to
900, 945 eco pounds, against IS, IL, 010 pounds
last year at this time"
