LESSON FROM ILLINOIS.
Some Farmers Evidently Expect
Dwellers in Cities to Bear the
Entire Road Burden.

The city of Chicago offered to pay
for one-siXth of all the good roads re-
quired throughout the state of Illinois,
but the farmer representatives of the
legislature yelled joyously" when they
defeated the good roads bill requiring
the state to pay so per cent. of the cost
of roads, the county 35 per cent, and
the property owners petitioning for the
road Is per cent.
As one-third of the taxable property
of the state is in Chicago, it would seem
as though the people of that city would
have opposed the bill, but they did not.
1t was the farmers who jumped on the
bill with ghoulish glee and ripped it up
the back, The thinking people of Illi-
nois are now wondering if the farmers
would accept good roads, were they Of
fered to them free, with 99-year guar
antee to keep them in good repair.
1t is evident some of our good farmer
friends, who are foundering in the mud
several months every year, are sadly in
need of some mental phosphate.
Because of its deep, soft soil, Illinois
is thought to be the champion bad
roads state, distinction it seems like
ly to cling to until the farmers come
out of their mud-locked lethargy, or
the people of the cities and towns pre-
sent the rural communities with sys-
tenn of good highways, free of COST

have begun besieging the committee,
offering sites and complete houses;
and each of them expects to profit by
real estate speculations, because the
land in the vicinity of the Dewey resi-
dence will Immediately increase in
value.
One member of the committee to-day
said: 1--WE have decided to receive and
file all these applications, but we will
not buy or build until the admiral ar
riyes. If he wants any particular house,
already completed, we will buy it and
give him the deed. If he wants sub
urban place near Arlington, or on the
Maryland heights, we will buy such
ground as he indicates, and build such
a house as may meet with his approval.
We are simply the custodians of the
funds, and we know that the people
first of all desire that the admiral shall
be satisfied and pleased with their gem
erous Offering, and on that theory the
committee will proceed. Therefore the
SPECTATORS who would go to vulgar
money-making, by gambling on Dew
ey's fame and choice of home, will ac-
complish absolutely nothing"
Sentimental people here affect to be-
lieve that they could pick out man
sion which Admiral Dewey would like
to have, without consulting him.
There is a splendid home about two
blocks from the white house, which
was occupied, during his later years, by
Judge Lowery, one of the most popular
and prosperous citizens of the national
capital. One of his frequent callers
was an obscure captain in the navy, who
was spoken of as "a clever little fellow,
quite dressy and refined in his manners,
but not man of much force. He likes
the old mans daughter"
That was Capt. George Dewey, and
he was undoubtedly fond of Miss Vir-
ginia Lowery. But she fell in love with
handsome attache of the Spanish le-
CATION Juan Brunetti. Ultimately she
married him. He is now the Due D'Ar-
COS, and Spanish minister to this coun-
try.
There are people here who affect to
believe that the Lowery residence,
which is for sale, would be exceptional
ly acceptable to Admiral Dewey as a
gift from the nation. But at the same
time it is suggested that, maybe. Miss
Virginia Lowery, now the Duchess
D'Arcos, may desire to make use of her
childhood's home as the home of the
Spanish minister and his bride.
This sounds little like romance. But
1t is gospel truth. SMITH D. FRY.

the rack up until wanted again. Tim
bers or props can be arranged for this.
Where there is n driveway in a barn
with room enough overhead, or an al
leyway between double corn-crib,
convenient place is at hand, and when
the rack is not in use it will be housed
from the weather. But for those who
have no such place at their disposal, we
give the sketch of a handy and cheap
frame for the purpose.
Four posts are set in the ground in
some convenient place, wide enough
apart to allow the wagon and rack to
be driven between them, the height of
the posts varying with the kind of rack
used. All that is necessary is to have
them high enough TO lift the rack well
above the wheels. Across the tops of
these posts CA, Fig. y bolt on two
beams (B) to strengthen the frame and
to serve as fastening for the pulley
block (C); 2x4's should be bolted on
between the two sets of posts (D). If
The posts are firmly set in the ground
this will insure solidity, but if desired,
more braces can be spiked on at the
sides.
Then with an inch auger bore holes in
the corner posts at (E) and get an iron
pin from a foot to Is inches in length to
fit in these. A pole (F) strong enough
to bear the weight of the rack and long
enough to reach from one post to the
other by resting on these pins, is Sc
cured for each end of the rack to rest
on when in place. Rings are bolted in
the rack at Co, into which a siX-foot
chain with a hook at either end, and
ring in the center, is attached. The pull
ley block (C) is attached to the beam
above by chain and hook, so as to be
easily detached.
One man can handle a rack with ease.
TO put it on the wagon, he has only to
back the running gears into place, hook
the siX-foot chain into the rings in the
rack, hook the pulley block to the chain
of the beam above, hook the end of the
rope into the ring in the center of the
siX-foot chain, raise the end of the rack
an inch or so, fastening the rope to
hold it there. Then remove the pole
(F) and lower that end of the rack into
place on the wagon. The other end is
let down in the same way, the whole
operation consuming only few min
utes' time. The ropes, pulley and chain
can be hung up in the barn out of the
weather. 1t is not necessary to lift the
rack high enough to drive the team
under, as the wagon can be easily
backed into position by hand, and
when the rack is on the wagon and the
poles (F) removed from the pins, there
will be nothing to hinder driving into
position for hosting the rack. This
device is a great convenience on farm
where hay racks are frequently in use.

TO EMPLOY coNvIcTs.
How Kentucky Intends to Place It's
Principal Highways in
Proper Condition

One OF the leading divisions OF the
League Of American Wheelmen-Ken-
lucky lis making strong effort to
have the convicts in the penitentiaries
and other Jail prisoners used in the
building and repairing of public roads
1t is receiving the support Of many
good roads advocates, and the agita-
ton has so far progressed that the di-
vision will cause bill to be presented
to the next Legislature for the ac-
complishment of the plan.
The convict question is one which
has worried the state officials of Ken
lucky, as it has those of other states,
and the plan of the wheelmen would
seem to be a very fair solution of the
problem The great objection to con-
Wet labor has always been that it came
in contact with free labor, and in
some states, notably New York, the
antipathy to it has almost resulted in
the convicts remaining in idleness, as
there have been laws passed which pre-
vent them from doing almost any kind
of work. In consequence their health
is reported very bad and their sanity
in jeopardy.
If these convicts, as well as those Of
other states, argue the Kentucky wheel
men, were put to work upon the
public roads instead of being kept in
idleness in the prisons, they would be
of incalculable value to the people of
the state and at the same time would
come in contact with no class of free
labor, there being no road-builders in
this country.
1t is estimated that by the use of
the convicts the state would be able
to place its highways in proper con-
dition within a comparatively short
time and at small expense.

SOLID, CLEAN PATHS.

Farm Life and Cnn De Built at
Small Expense.

While it is a good idea always to have
the walks about farmhouses con-
venient and attractive, the one great
essential point lies in obtaining those
which will be firm and dry at all sea-
sons of the year, no matter what the
weather is. Indeed, solid clean path
is not only pleasure to walk upon
but it prevents less mud and dirt Of
various kinds from being tracked into
the house, saving the patience of the
housekeeper.
Hence the reason for my presenting
the plan in the accompanying illustra-
ton, which shows how very neat and
permanent walk may be made. First

width of the path, and the bottom

armored cruiser is becoming quite ins
distinct. In fact, it may be said that
about the only material distinction be-
tween the two in the most modern de-
signs is that the armored cruiser is
planned to be two or three knots fast
err than the battleship at maximum
speed, and to have somewhat great
err coal-carrying capcity.
Now you know as much on the sub
iect as a naval expert; at least super
acially.
Admiral Dewey has lived aboard ship
for almost two years without inter-
mission. Ever since he sailed into Ma
Mia bay and began to whi2z, bang and
smash things with his big guns and
rapid-fring guns, he has lived on ship
board.
For several months more Admiral
Dewey will dwell on the Olympia, and
then he will permanently reside in the
national capital, On his famous flag
ship he will go to China for change
Of climate. He will then go to India,
and thence around the Suez canal sail
ing over historic and sometimes sacred
waters. Over him will float the four
starred flag of an admiral, and wher-
ever he goes that flag will receive an
appropriate salute.
The sensible people of this country
have concluded to give Admiral Dewey
a welcome such as no naval commander
ever before received. They will not
have him carried around the country
like a curiosity; nor will they attack
his health with the banquets of so cit
les. They will have him met at sea
by a squadron of vessels of the new
navy. They will have him royalty re-
ceived in New York, and then, when he
reaches Washington, they will present
him with magnificent permanent
residence. Popular subscriptions are
being made, and the committee in
charge of the matter believe that not
only will enough be subscribed to pur-
chase a splendid residence for the adj
miral, but that there will be left over
handsome sum for investment, so
that his every want will be well sup
piled.

THOUGHTS AND FACTS.

AS the period of lactation advances
the butter fat grows lighter in color,
harder and the fat globules smaller.
Although it has been studied great
many years by our greatest scientists it
is not definitely known how milk is
formed in the udder.
There is more difference between in
dividuals of the same breed than there
is between different breeds of cows in
the quality of milk they produce.
Butter fat is composed of about ten
separate and distinct fats. 1t is the
finest favored, most easily decomposed
and easiest digested of all fats.
AS the period of lactation advances
the percentage of fat increases, not
only absolutely but also in relative pro-
portion to the other solids of the milk.
The feeding of cottonseed meal tends
to harden the fat in milk and conse-
quently makes harder butter than
would be made if linseed meal were
fed.
Some Philadelphia milkmen are
producing such high grade milk that
they guarantee that it does not con-
tain over certain number of bacteria
to the quart.
Billiard balls, backs of hair brushes
and combs, etc, are made from skim
milk, and large quantities of this by
product are utilized now in the manu-
facture of paper.
According to one investigation cows
milk is about one-seventh richer at the
close of period of lactation than at the
beginning,-National Stockman.

HANDLING HAY RACKS.
A simple COntrivHnce which En-
abIes One Man TO DO All the
Necessary Work.

One of the hardest and most incon-
venient operations about farm work is
the lifting on and off of the hay rack
from the wagon. The usual way of lift
ing over the wheels takes from two to
four men, and then it is heavy lifting,
This job can be easily and quickly per-
formed by means of rope and pulleys,
the rack being lifted up and the wagon
run under, when it can be lowered into
place, and vice versa. To do this it is
necessary, of course, to have some con-
venient place for fastening the pulleys
high enough to let the rack swing clear
of the wagon, and some way of holding

what is called greater "radius of ac-
ton" than battleship; that is, it can
steam a greater distance on one coal
ing.
The protected cruiser" is ship
without armor in the proper sense
of the term; that is to say, without
armor placed vertically on its sides,
The word protected" means that the
ship is provided with protective deck.
This is a structure which begins at each
side of the ship some little distance be-
dow the water line and slopes upward
ON each side towards the middle line
of the ship to point somewhat above
the water line, and then the inner edges
of these slopes are connected by fiat
deck, covering what is known as the
Vitals of the ship, that is to say, the
boilers, machinery, magazines and the
larger part of the coal bunkers. The
thickness of the protective deck varies
in different ships, but usually it is
about four inches thick on the slopes
and about one and one-half to two
dnches thick on the fat or horizontal
part.
A gunboat, or gun vessel, is simply
an armed steamer of comparatively
small dimensions, with no protection
of any kind except usually a water
tight deck of ordinary ship plate, which
is worked over the boilers, machinery
and magazines
Under each of the above heads there
are again wide diversities of type and
model. In most navies battleships are
divided into two, or sometimes three
classes-first second and third. In our
own navy there are thus far but two,
the first-rate being represented by such
ships as the Indiana, Iowa and Oregon,
and the five new ones now building and
also the three new ones just contracted
for; the second rate being represented
,at present only by the Texas. Armored
cruisers are similarly classified. At
present we have but two armored cruis-
ers, strictly speaking, in our navy, the
New York and Brooklyn. Protected
cruisers are also classified in most
EnAvies into three different rates. I'M
der the French rating we have only
two first-class projected cruisers in our
navy. The Columbia and Minneapolis
are the only protected cruisers we
have which would be classed as first
Tate in the British navy. The Olympia,
which is the next largest, would be
rated as a second-class protected cruis.
Ger in the British navy. She is general
lily considered a first-rate protected
.scruiscr by our naval authorities.
The tendencies of more recent de-
scsigns is to reduce the distinction which
has hitherto prevailed between the bat
rGleship and the armored cruiser types.
That is to say, in the designing of bat
rGleShips within the last two or three
years naval architects have reduced the
thickness and weight of armor and also
'the caliber of the guns and increased
the engine power and speed, in the di-
ERECTION of the armored cruiser type,
,ETlhiNe on the other hand there has been
Ia tendency to increase the size and
rgighting power of armored cruisers to
N point more nearly approaching the
character of the battleship. Conse-
