FARMERS WAKING UP.
In All Parts of the Country They Are
Beginning to Take Interest in
Road improvements.

The progress in road building is
commendable, and we are gratified to
learn that our farmers are taking such
an interest in road building science.
The steel track is being given a thor
ough test and the reports are quite
favorable on it. What seemed a mere
dream two years ago is now brought
within the realm of possibility. The
idea that it would pay to lay steel
rails for the use of ordinary wagons
seemed wild one, but now promises
to be of great value, at least in our
more thickly populated communities.
In the cities the wagons use the car
tracks extensively and horseflesh is
saved thereby. On the country roads
the steel rails that are used for ordi-
nary traffic are wider than are the car
tracks in the cities, and their sides are
lower, making it easy to cross them
with a wagon. Their use prevents rut-
ting of the road in good or bad wealth
er and makes it possible to have a road
so narrow that the cost of construc-
ton and keeping in repair is greatly
reduced. The use of oil between the
tracks is being experimental with. At
the Iowa experimental station crude oil
is being used on some of the college
roads, and has thus far proved to be
effective in keeping moisture out of
the soil that forms the roadbed. Of
course the action of frost will have to
be experienced and the action of SHOWS
and ice. But, whatever happens in
this particular instance, there is no
doubt that the farming communities
are about to be brought nearer to-
gether by better roads.-Farmers' Re-
view.

Burnett, from Alabama. An Aabamian the
other day related this story, which will
best illustrate how the diminutive member
his maiden speech. Burnett commonly
known in his district as "the Jack of Spades"
is a shrewd lawyer who has had much prac-
tice before the Alabama supreme court.
The greatest embarrassment of his life was
suffered when he made his debut before that
dignified tribunal. He was seated behind
high table, stacked with law books and
papers, and when he arose in his turn to ad-
dress the court their honors were unable
to even see the top of his head above the
pile. The learned counsel said the chief
justice, rapping vigorously with his gavel,
will kindly do the court the usual courtesy
of rising when addressing it." 1t is needless
to add that Burnett felt manifoldly more di-
minutive than he looked.-Philadelph

A Trap OF Her own Setting.

We have all met people whose pride in
their possessions is so great that they can see
no charms in those of others. A young bota-
mist was showing party of ladies and gen
tIemen through a conservatory of some of
the choicest plants. Among the visitors was
a would-be young looking, middle-aged lady
who at every description volunteered the
statement that the plants and flowers she
had at home were quite the equal of any
thing here or indeed anywhere
Just as they were passing giant cactus
she was heard to exclaim:
"Well this is nothing extraordinary. I
have cactus at home that is still larger. |
