VXTITH the opening of the
M riding and driving season,
Y Y and especially with the
temperance OF bicycles,
we shall hear much OF good roads. 1t
is wished that in this country we
might see as much as we hear of them.
Where the highways are improved
they are valued, and people who use
them are never again willing to go
back to the kind of trough of sand
and mud that passes for turnpike in
many parts of this country. The
good roads movement has not ceased
from moving, and cheering news
comes, every now and again, Of the
laying of asphalt in cities and Of mac
adam in the country, yet so little is
done in proportion to what ought to
be done, and must be done, that one
loses heart, now and again, and fears
that for the next century this country
is doomed to tra7el over almost the
worst ronds in all the world. A trav.
eler who has just reached the East,
on his return from o wheeling tour OF
nearly three years around the world,
reports that he found the roads in
Illinois worse than those in China,
which were heretofore supposed to be
the meanest that could be found in
any land that had roads at ell.
One of the chief causes of the slow.
ness with which reform progresses
will probably be found in the fact that
in our country districts the farmers
discover that good roads do not stay
good forever. They appear to think
that their whole duty is done when a
proper foundation is laid and it is
smoothed by roller. They do not
think in this wise Of their houses or
their churches or their farms. They
know that buildings need repair; they
know that trees need trimming; they
know that fields need blowing, and
they gather the stones and stumps out
of them every now ana then; yet the
road that passes their doors and is
used by hundreds of thousands OF
persons, is buried in snow in winter,
is scored by rain and pierced by frost.
receives no attention from them what
ever. They do these things better
abroad. They first make road with
clean, broad, properly graded sur
face, then they appoint men>whose
daily business it is to go over it and
make repairs.
Queens County has spent millions
Of dollars for macadam, and it has Sc
cured the best roads in the State of
New York. II they are allowed to go
to ruin the work will all have to be
done over again at tremendous ex.
pense. A road mender can keep at
least couple of miles repaired; and

to have bill of thousands of dollars

10 VICTORY.
!ation OF the Readiness Of a
Nebraska Stump Speaker.

The Washington Post tells story
which illustrates the readiness Of q
drst-rate stump orator. Colonel Stark
Of Nebraska, member Of Congress-
was announced to speak IN a certain
town in Nebraska, and many people OF
his political faith-i; is not necessary
to say which side he was on, nor which
eminent candidate he championed-
Cad come il from round about to hear
him.
At the last moment, however, it was
discovered that, through some neglect
Of the local managers, the opposing
party had got possession Of the only
hall in the place. In plain terms, Col
onel Stark and his intending auditors
were literally out in the cold, for the
season was late, and it was impossible
to hold a meeting in the open air.
OF course Colonel Stark could not
think of permitting the opponents to
have MS audience, and he set about
finding some other roomy and warm
place which would answer his pur-
pose. The only thing that offered it.
self was q huge building used as the
winter quarters Of a circus and me-
nagerie.
In the training shed Of this establish
ment, therefore, Colonel Stark assem-
bled his audience, which was all the
larger on account of the unusual cir
cumstances under which it was allied
together.
Colonel Stark mounted an elephant
tub and began his address:
Fellow citizens, ladies and gentle
men"
Here the lion roared "Wow-wo-o-
Sw'"' completely drowning the orators
voice. AS soon as the uproar had
somewhat sutsided, Stark began
again:
'In this momentous campaign"
"Yap-yow-hi-yi-yi-yi~ yelled the hy-
ena. No progress was possible until
this very unpleasant and disconcert-
Ing animal had ceased his outcries.
Then Colonel Smith resumed:
81 come to speak to you in behalf"
Here the elephant trumpeted with
majestic sound, and several smaller
animals contributed an echo of conSid-
erable magnitude. When this was
over Colonel Stark went on:
In behalf of our great and glorious
leader, the peerless statesman and
matchless orator.
He named the leader Of his party,
and at once, possibly set on by an ex-
asperating howl Of the wolf, all the
animals in the building began an awful
clamor. The lion roared, the bears
growled, the elephant trumpeted and
the camels snorted. The audience be-
gan to laugh, and it seemed all over for
the speech, when, in a lull Of the tu-
multi, the voice Of Colonel Stark was
once more heard
"At the mention of whose name even
the wild animals lift up their voices in
q tumult of appreciative joy!
At this the audience cheered With de-
light and appreciation. Having had
their say, the animals thenceforth re-
mained comparatively quiet, ard the
meeting was pronounced an over.

Healthy Hors.

The health of hogs does not depend
in any measure on the pGomiscuous
feeding of drugs. If proper attention
were given to all the hogs in the
country, the makers of cholera cures
would have no demand for their medi-
cines. When it is said they live off
the ignorance of the public it is but
to tell the truth, and it is not saying
anything against them or their rene
dies. These men who have studied
hog cholera in all its phases are the
first to say that the disease first gets
its foothold in filthy pens and yards,
and from drinking stagnant water.
From this start herds that are proper
ly cared for become infected, and, if
the season is favorable for the devel-
opment of the germs of the disease,
an epidemic of hog cholera follows,
that sweeps hogs worth untold thou
sands.
It cannot be said too many times
that hogs are cleanly by nature.
They are the only domestic animals
that will habitually have certain
place in which to deposit their drop
pings, keeping the remainder of the
range clean, if they are allowed to do
do. Give pure water and plenty of
green feed during the period of de-
velopment and hog cholera, if it comes
at all, will come from an outside
source. Once it has arrived prompt
measures to check its ravages should
be resorted to and persisted in until
the disease is checked. -Swineherd.

ture of butter. MI. Arnold has a
number of Guernsey cattle of his
own and among them one that has
a record of 700 pounds of butter a
year. The COW is record breaker.
The peculiarly of this breed of
cattle is that the milk is as rich
all the year and has as yellow a
color as a Jerseys milk during the
summer. Mr.. Arnold will be able
to handle the milk of $50 COWS and
his creamery has a capacity of 800

encouraged. Mr.. Arnold states
that prospects are very encourag-
