HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
The Moral Aspect of Poor Roads
Amusingly Discussed by New
York Newspaper.

Of late years we have been hearing
but one side of the roads question, till
the world has come to think that there
is but one side. While only bold man
would say that poor roads are better
than good roads, something is to be
said in their favor, and some sympathy
is due those despised and rural persons
that do not join in the general pean
in favor of good roads. Not that one
ent agitation for them, any more than
one would oppose Sunday schools.
Both are commendable; yet even as
one would not wish this world one
large Sunday school, so one should be
moderate in ones desire for faultless
highways.
Imagine what it would be to have
roads eliminated from our calcula-
tions. The world would lose all those
ecstatic thrills it now experiences in
watching the clay or loam quagmires
change, drop by drop, back into the
delightful roads they can be at times.
Perfect roads would be as dull as the
ideal social state.
In more important way humanity
would lose. Good roads, in few short
years, would sap the moral fiber which
man has been cultivating through ages.
Time may come when we shall not need
the ethical stimulus of poor roads, but
it is far off. The Yankee gains the
sharpness and doggedness of the gran
ite he daily drives over. The Virginian
has superimposed on his natural inn
petuosity, patience and endurance
from that red clay of his, which no
mere impetuosity can conquer. The
Floridian develops his character
through his calming sand; the 1lli-
noisan from his bottomless black mud.
And finally-if more argument be
needed-poor roads restrain the motto
cycle to it's native lair of the noisome
city, and keep it from defiling the
beautiful rural districts.--N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser.

If two by fours two inches apart. This
grating may be made by mailing the
two by fours onto both sides of the
studs forming the partition.
The water from the melting ice should
be conducted from the drip-pan to the
outside by means of a pipe, provided
with trap, the trap being necessary to
prevent an outflow of cold air with
the water. The sides of the ice box
should be lined with four-inch strips
of inch stuff about one inch apart, the
edges planed to bevel as in Fig. 1, SO
that the drip where the ice comes
against the sides will fall to the inside
and into the pan below. The shelves in
the storage room should be of Stats, so
as to allow circulation of air.
The outside door should be 21h feet
wide, the door into the cold storage

the floor to the ceiling. The door into
the ice box, two feet wide and about
three feet high. One window with
double glass, about three feet long and

banked up, so that the space under
the floor will be dry and the air dead.

DAIRY REFRIGERATOR.
A Small Building of Wood That Il
Easily Put Up North of Any
Large Farmhouse.

Plans for small dairy refrigerator
for milk and butter from five cows
are wanted by j. r. B., who has Is
loads of ice and good cool well. lie
wants building of wood and located
north of a large farmhouse, around
which is a maple grove.
The plan illustrated herewith calls
for an addition of 6 by IL feet on the
north end of the house. Across one end
of the room thus made, see Fig. 2, is par
titioned the refrigerator proper, the
rest of the room being used as milk
room. This will give room to work
around the cabinet creamer which
would set in the southwest corner. The
walls, ceiling and partitions should be
made by first sheeting up both sides OF
the studding with matched flooring,
adding to the sheathing on the inside
a layer of the best coal tar paper put
on in such a way that the joints match
at the studding. then fur out on the
inside and add another sheeting of
matched flooring and building paper,
fur out once more, and add third and
last sheeting of matched flooring. This
gives three dead air spaces. The doors
should be built up in the same way as
the walls and the edges beveled so as
to close practically tight.
The room to be used as refrigerator
is divided into two compartments, one
for ice and the other for storage. The
iceboN is 21s feet square, the partition
between it and the storage is made by
setting two by four studding six inches
apart and sheeting up on the storage
side from the bottom of the ice chest
within four inches of the ceiling. The
openings thus left at the bottom and
the top furnish means for circulation
of the air, which will pass into the top
of the ice box from the storage room,
where it has become warm, while the
cold air from the ice passes out below
to take it's place. The bottom of the
ice chest should be up some 20 inches
from the floor, and consist of a galvan-
lied iron drip-pan, resting on grating

NOodueckerI Is Mans Ally.

One of the birds which winters in
our northern climates is the wood
pecker, which finds it's favorite food
as easily in cold weather as in warm.
1t is not often seen except by those
who go into the forests and evergreen
swamps, where it takes refuge during
the severest weather. It's sharp peck,
peck on the trunk of a partly decayed
tree is generally rewarded by taste
of the grub that did the mischief, and
which the woodpecker greedily devours.
The woodpecller is a daring pillager on
the cherry trees when this fruit is ripe.
But after his good work in destroying
injurious grubs during winter nobody
should refuse him few cherries.

Unless there is copyenient market
for the scale of vegetables the garden
should be no larger than is necessary to
afford full variety and an abundance

a time when the farmer is busy with his
spring planting, but every farmer
should have a garden, even if but few

RURAL MAIL SERVICE.
Virginia Has Patented n Unique De-

A good many crossroads postmas-

invention forms a valuable adjunct to
the suburban system now being devel-
oped for the relief of country residents.

from loss of plant food by teaching,
washing or oNydation which occurs in
bare plowed fields SO left between crops.
When animals are pastured on land, the
soil fertility is drawn upon to the eN-
tent of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash required to build and sustain the
body of the animal. But this is COM
paratively small, and if the manure
made is returned to the land and con-
centrated feeds are fed, there may be
an actual gain in fertility. Also, if the
grass consists of clover or other leg
umes, which draw supplies of nitrogen
from the air, there will be a gain in
fertility Farmer.

at the end of the bridge, and a look down

the party drove back to the train! As

GEN. WHEELER WAS LEFT OUT
JUDGE BRAWLEY CALLS GEN. IR-

The Famous GeneraI Was n Special
Guest OF the City, But by Some
body's Oversight He Did Not APP
near In the Parade-Gen. Walker
Claims 1t Was Caused by a Com
fusion of Orders-SIight to Gov.
Gambler.
Charleston, S. c., May 13.-It seems that
the failure of Gen. Joe Wheeler TO appear
in the big parade of Confederate Veterans
here Wednesday last is destined 10 be
the cause of much talk and bad feeling.
Gen. Wheeler was a special guest of the
city. He stopped at the residence of
United States District Judge Brawley. He
was TO have ridden in the procession, and
the spectators were prepared 10 give him
an ovation, but the line was formed and
passed through the city, and Gen. Wheel
er Was not in it.
There was much comment and inquiry
from people who knew he was in the city.
This talk has gathered volume as the
days have passed, and this morning Judge
BraWley gave out a statement for publ
cation, in which he lays the blame on
Cen c. /. Walker, who commands the
South Carolina division of the United
Confederate Veterans, and who, in conse-
Queuce, was in charge of the parade.
Judge BrawIey's Criticism.
After reviewing the circumstances of
Gen. Wheelers visit here, he says he new
er dreamed that so prominent a person
would be left out of the picture. Leav-
-aIl MT Il lie ho
Miss Wheeler and went to watch the pa
rade. He had notified Gen. Walker OF
Gen. Wheelers arrival, and he had seer
a printed programme for the parade in
which Gen. Wheeler's name appeared. He
was astonished beyond measure when he
did not see Gen. Wheeler in line. Judge
Brawley concludes his statement as fol
lows:
THAT there has been a painful eXhibi-
ton Of laundering incapacity somewhere
is Of course evident. The public will nat
urally hold Gen. Walker responsible, un-
less he can show that some one appointed
for the purpose failed to carry out his or
ders."
Gen. Walker will make reply, Calming
a confusion of orders by two committees
Gen Walker says that as commander Of
the parade, it was to his interest to make
il as great a success as possible that
Gen. Wheeler's distinguished services ir
two wars entitled him TO every consieera'
ton. Gen. Walker regrets profoundly
that even the semblance of discourtesS
should have been shown Gen. Wheeler.
Not as Confederate Veterans.
The charge of want of hospitality t
Gov. Gambler and his staff at the Con
federate reunion falls fiat here, as neither
the Governor nor his staff were here II
the capacity of Confederate veterans. anC
Gen. c. Irvine Walker, the South Caro-
lima commander of the Confederate veter
ans, though he had received no noufica
ton of their coming, promptly assigned
the distinguished Georgia civilians prom
iueut place in the procession on Wednes
