How to Reach Two Famous Resorts
An Outing Hint from Outing"

Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most
carefully governed, one need not wonder
at the great popularity of the New York
Central. No other line affords such facili-
ties for through travel between the East and
the West as this wonderful four track sys-
tenn. In the possession of the Grand Central
Station, located in the heart of New York
City, and within trihing distances of all
6rst-class hotels, this railway offers greater
advantages than competing lines. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter, it has attrac-
tions irresistible. The great Northern VIII
derness, the playground of the State, now
beckons its thousands. As autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara, will claim its. annual host of pill
grims with its majestic power, the fierce
turmoil of the Whirlpool and all the pie
turesque surroundings, the awesome Cave Of
the Winds and several other minor attrac-
tions of the vicinity. And when winter
comes, then the entire scene transformed to
what seems a fairyland of marvellous frost
dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces;
of cleaning crystal prison barriers vainIy
striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge
of water-will present a spectacle of weird.
mysterious beauty which is not duplicated
in the wor!d.-Outing.

Cows for the klondike.

A man; in Tacoma is preparing to
leave soon for Dawson, and will take 125
COWS with him. He will take sled for
each COW and make them haul enough
provisions for the trip. He already has
about third of his herd, and is busy
breaking them to work in harness. He
expects to get away in a few weeks. He
is positive it will be paying venture,
as fresh milk is little known article
in the Yukon; He has had no trouble so
far in breaking his cattle, and talks as
though it will be no extraordinary
sight to see 125 cows vending their way
along the mountain trails, drawing
sleds laden with hay and grain. He
will take thezndown the Yukon in boats,
and expects to be ut the lakes as soon
as the ice breaks. He has been over the
ground, and feels confident of success.

SYSTEMATIC WORK.
1t is Quite as Essential to Road Inn
provement as the Expenditure
Of Money 49,.

! The best way to improve and secure
our ordinary country roads for COM
fort and convenience is the important
question for the farmer to consider.
One of the first important steps is to
keep the bed of the road dry. This can
be best secured by the action of the
common road grader or 1eveler being
used as soon as the surface is dry
enough to crumble. The passage of
the grader fills up all the ruts and de-
pressions in the road and leaves the
center well rounded up and thus en-
ables it to shed the water. The road
must be kept clear of water, hence the
grader must be used after a rain when
the clay will crumble.. Now most of the
road districts are supplied with these
graders and the necessary machinery
to make and, keep the road in good re-
pair, but too often the road master lets
the grader lie hid in some outlot or
fence corner till he has an idle time to
use it.
The great question arises, how can
we retain good roads after they are
graded? Here is where the question of
permanent roads comes in. In the early
history of our republic the national
government built and took charge of
the leading roads all over the nation.
The most prominent of them was the
great national road connecting St.
Louis with Washington. This is an i'm
provement that any country might
well be proud of. All the bridges, cul-
verts, aetc., were of solid masonry, and
the road of good width and covered
with broken stone. 1T was one of the
primary causes for the settlement of
the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
One of, the best arguments in favor of
good roads is it enhances the value of
the territory they pass through.
In the state of Missouri the counties
are waking up to the necessity of i'm
proving the. ordinary highways, and
the state is 'hel ling them to improve
their roads. Many wish to have the
farmers shoulder the burden of improv-
ing the roads, but this is by no means
just, and when 1nacadam or gravel is
used to make the bed of the road solid
it would be too heavy tax on the farm

DOG POWER IN OPERATION.
"A, Detached lag; b, the Power; c, the Churn.
ming on the pulleys. Rivet Stats (called
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die.
At each end of the lag small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as a bridge to keep them. from
sagging under the weight of the dog.
Two rivets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
:ternate lag must have these strips set
in an inch SO they will lap past each 9TH
er and rest on lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in. the illustra-
ton. =
The connection with 'churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by ''tumbling rod'' connection, as illus
trated, or by belt on$the band wheel.
The lags may be a ,half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. As the pitch
may need adjusting to furnish j the
power needed for different kinds of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps SO the elevation can be changed
at Will.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GIRLS PAST AND PRESENT,
An English Woman Physician Points
Out the Difference Between
Them.

NO doubt some ueem it a serious Ques-
tion whether the life Of the girls of to-
day is the best life possible for them
with a view to the making Of them the
best possible women. Some male OBJ
servers have been asserting this for a
long time past, but with little effect;
1t has-aeed to be asserted by female
observers. One such, DR.. Arabella Ke-
nealy, of London, has plucked up cour-
age to treat the subject in an article
printed in the Nineteenth Century. She
writes of the physical development of
the present-day girl, contrasting her,
not altogether to her advantage, with
the girl of generation or two back.
She does not deny that the out-of-door
life she now leads and her indulgence
in the sports and games which at one
time were regarded as peculiar to the
male sex have eNerted a beneficial CT
feet upon her physique and health, but
she still thinks that in many respects
the girl of the period is inferior to her
sister Of so years ago. =. .>..'- !. -. "a. :
lettering to an up-to-date girl, DR..
kenealy says: ''She no longer pre-
serves and brews. She no longer weaves
and fashions. Her children are nursed,
fed, clothed, taught and trained by hire
lings; her sick are tended by the pro-
fessional nurse; her guests are enter
tanned by paid performers. What truly
remains which may. be called her du-
ties? What is left to her, indeed, but
boredom? Let me not be regarded as
merely bringing grave indictment
against the sex with which have every
sympathy by virtue of belonging to it,
and, least of all, let me be understood
to deprecate the right of every woman
to be educated and self-supporting.
''AH that urge is that what she does
she shall do in a womanly way, striving
against disability to preserve her wom-
anhood as being the best of her pos
sessions. All that would warn her
against is the error into which she has
been temporarily led, the error of sup
posing there is any nobler sphere than
that of bearing and training fine types
OF humanity, seeing that this is the sole
business wherewith the mightiest
forces of the universe and evolution are
concerned: But these things to- be
wholly worthy must be intelligently
done. The reign of mere instructive
motherhood is waning; the era of in
telligent motherhood approaches. And
the first care of intelligent motherhood
will be to see that none of these powers
which belong to, her highest develop
ment, and through her to the highest
development of the race, shall be i'm
poyerished, debased or misapplied. And
in that day she will, have ceased. from
regarding muscle as her worthiest pos
session" - Chicago Chronicle. 49,.
