CARE OF DIRT-R0ADS.
=. r. nest +o Keen Them in Repair
by Contract. Says Govern
ment Expert.

E. G. Harrison, government ROAD ex-
merit. has been giving the farmers and
others interested in the building ana
maintaining of dirt-roads some valu-
able advice. Inasmuch as dirt-roads
must continue to predominant IN many
parts of the country, for years to come'
his remarks are worthy of careful con-
sideration. He says:
Except when the frost is coming ou'
of the ground in the spring, it will be
quite possible to build ordinary dirt
roads so that they will be very satisfac-
tory. and so that they can be kept IN
good condition throughout the year ex-
cept during few weeks of spring thaw.
The best way, after the road is properly
built. is to hire somebody in the vicin-
ity, some laboring man, for instance, to
keep in repair permanently particular
stretch of road. He can start out then
Just after every rain when he wouldn't
be working in his fields, and with a
single shovel he can make all necessary
repairs to the road. If water is collect
ing in any spot, he can open up little
ditch and let the water drain off prop
erly, although if the road was properly
built this would rarely occur. He can
toss stones to one side that the rain has
washed down. And, especially, he can
look to see that no holes are forming. A
little hollow starts in a road. The next
wagon scoops out trif1e more dirt, an
other wagon another trifie. Soon there's
a big hole. 1t rains. Water collects in
the hole and forms mud, and then the
mud clings to the wagon wheels and the
hole grows faster than ever. But if, in
the beginning, the road repairer had
filled in the small hollow with his shovel
and some dirt, and stamped the earth
down bit, then the wagons would have
packed the dirt like roller and the hole
would never have got chance to grow.
'It's best to have roads kept in repair
by contract, for then it's to the interest
of the contractor to exercise constant
care"

A good deal of money may be secured
from many small streams where water-
cress either grows naturally or could
be made to do so by judicious seeding
and planting. The cress seeds abun.
DAINTY after its season of growth is
over, and when a stream is once stocked
with it the growth of the plant is apt
TO increase. In some places gardeners
have made artificial beds which thev
have planted with the cress, running
from the stream into little coves which
can be easily kept under water. The
first cress of the season bringf fancy
prices at the large hotels and festaur-
ants. The cress has a sprightly spicy
taste that is almost universally liked,
and it is believed by many that it has
medicinal virtues that give it especial
value as tonic to the stomach at the
time when it first makes its appear

Fight on Narrow Tires.

There is bill in the Massachusetts
senate to prohibit the use of narrow
tread wagons on the public roads Of
the state, and its passage is urged by
the bicyclers and all who contend for
good roads. 1t is a waste of public
money, it is urged, to spend it in MAX
ing roads and then to permit the roads
to be cut up by narrow-tired wagon
wheels. A narrow-tired wagon wheel
sinks deep through the surface of
road and makes it rough and uneven,
and the ruts and holes prevent drain
age and keep the road bad. 1t is also
contended that, although the substi-
tuition of broad for narrow tires will
involve considerable cost, yet it will
be an economy in the diminished cost
of hauling. The broad-tread wagon
wheel, so far from injuring the roads,
acts almost as roller, making them
smooth and mpact.-Baltimore Sun.

NOVEL CYCLING PATH.
,,ed Affair Nine Miles Long
About to Be Built in Southern
California

=. +he mountainous region about Los
Ancoles and Pasadena, in southern
california, the lot of the wheelman Is
not an altogether happy one' for eyeie
,,o+be are unknown there and bcyond
ci+v limits the way for riders is SO
ronob and rolling that the pleasures OF
cvcling scarcely compensate Tor tne
Mains A change is about to come over
the face of these conditions, however,
bv the construction of the most mover
and elaborate wheelway in this country
and probably in the world. An elevated
cycle path of framework nine miles
LONG has been designed to connect the
two places. An account OF present
cycling conditions in that locality ana
how much of a boon the aerial structure
will be is obtained from an interesting
article in the Los Angeles Land OF sun
shine, which, on the whole, suggests
speculation as to whether in the future
all things are to become possible TO the
bicycle.
Pasadena and Los Angeles are sister
cities. and the problem of transporta-
.tion between them has been slow to find
solution owing to the rolling character
of the intervening country and the wa
.terwavs. The amount of traffic be-
tween the towns demanded facilities,
and as ways to furnish these were
found the travel increased, until now
they are bound together by chain OF
four railroads, three of steam power
and one electric. After the last link
was added to this chain there remained
large contingent of the population in
both cities that was still unprovided
for, There was not fit route for cy-
cEsts. The common wagon roads, with
their dust and mud and ruts, had to be
followed over hill and along ravine,
among cattle and fowl and across rail-
road tracks, by those who fain would
wheel their way from place to place.
The topography of the country and in
judicious road building combined to
keep wheel riders miserable.
The lack of good roads between Los
Angeles and Pasadena has been keenly
felt for years, and the hills intervening
made the construction of an ordinary
cycle path impracticable. The trip
northward to Pasadena is an uphill
grind. In spite of these discomforts
many made the intercity trip for busi-
ness or pleasure, and, notwithstand-
ing all disadvantages, the ranks of the
cyclists increased, until there are at
least 10000 in Los Angeles county
alone. This growth in the face of dis
couragement,suggested the commercial

CONSULTING CYCLIST.
That is the Title Assumed by q New

There is new kind of medical spe-
cialist in London, and it is presumed
that we will soon have him in this coun-

ciist," and announces that he will de-
vote himself to giving medical and
practical advice as to all that concerns
the use of the machine; whether TO
ride or not, what sort of machine to
ride, at what pace to ride, how the sad
die is to be adjusted, where thse
handles are to be set, how the machine
should be geared, and the like, all be-
ing things which differ for each in
diyidual Many a doctor recommends
the use of cycle who is himself no
cyclist, just as he may recommend hy-
dropathic treatment, although he may
know but little about the various COM
binations of bath treatment which will
be found of greatest use at the par
ticular spa resorted to. In stating the
broad fact that cycling will do good he
is acting within the range of his own
knowledge and experience, but when
he is asked about speed and gears and

well as a medical man, he is apt to find
himself at sea-" There is considerable.
