We once helped IA man fix a bit OF
road through low and mlry piece OF
land on his farm says The American
Cultiyat0r. There was "A bad road of
ten used at certain seasons and he
wanted 1t made good. The surface
soil was thrown out as deep rs it was
thought to be valuable material, and,
by the way that well paid for the la
Dor. Then bit of old stone wall was
put into the roadway, the larger stones
being rather carefully packed at the
outside. ON these larger stones were
dumped piles Of small stones that had
accumulated from clearing the mead
ows and cultivated fields. 1t was two
good Jobs In getting the walls and
stone heaps out of the way. This
foundation wns covered with gravel,
and when it was done the owner said
'1'hcre, that job Is done, and | think 1t
Will stay done while | live," and we
think It would and through one or two
more generations. We have thought
since the agitation Of the good roads
question that we should not reach SO
luton of 1t until roadmakers learned to
do their work So that II would stay
done" Many farms have places used
as roadways which need just such
treatment and so do certain pieces OF
town roads

Mutton Sheep,

The feeder Of sheep and lambs Is

memory to recall n time when mutton
sheep have fetched such eXtravagant
prices as at present. Indeed, taking
the range of values for sheep, year
llnga and lambs, they are unprecedent-
cd In the history OF the trade. They
have attained such n height TINT the
export demand has been checked,
which Is significant enough, as John
Bull is not easily dissuaded from his
leg of lamb by the price ON It. So
strong Is the demand for sheep and
lambs from all quarters TINT the can

little effect on values. Mutton eaters
are multiplying Mt home and furnish
an astonishing market just at present
This comment on II prominent feature
of the trade would not be complete
without mention of the fact that tho
mutton market is experiencing thesame
change that has already come over the
beef market n steadily increasing pref

ideas of animals well ripened" by age
are well nigh obsolete.

1t Is claimed that the cost of canning
and handling fruits and vegetables Will
soon be increased from 10 to 10 per
cent over the season of 1899 snys The
Rural New Yorker. There is a decided
increase in the cost Of the metals used.
such as tin plate, cans aud solder. Tile
labels. wrappers aud paper stock come
In for their share OF the rise, which
Is also true ef packing cases. macAin-
cry, etc. The new Considerations Of
the railroads win also result IN higher
freight rates for canned goods. In
every case this increase in price is due
directly to the exactions of trust or
combine of some kind. The truck gar
dcner ana farmer Is expected to pay
the difference in the way of a lowering
of his contract prices for growing the
stock, although 1t would seem that he
had been squeezed 10 the last limit in
previous seasons The canned goods
trade has lately been fairly active, and
there is no good reason why the actual
producer should bear the burdens of an
artificial Increase In price of the com
modify he creates.

The .Innnnese Momnn.


The chief duty Of japanese woman
all her life Is obedience, while unmar
ried, to her parents; when married to
her husband and his parents; when
widowed to her son. In the Greater
Learning of Women" we read;
"A woman should look upon her
husband as If he were Heaven itself,
and thus escape celestial punishment
The five worst malaNes that affiiet
the female mind are: Indoeility, dis
content. SANDER, jealousy and silli-
ness. Without any doubt these five
maladies affiict seven or eight out OF
every ten women, and from them
arises the inferiority of women to men.
A woman should cure them by self-in-
spection and self-reproaeh. The worst
of them ALL and the parent of the 9TH
er four. is silliness!"
The above extract shows us very
clearly the position which women have.
until quite recently, taken in Japan.
AS German writer says. her condition
is the intermediate link between the
European and the Aslatic. On the one
hand, Japanese women are subjected
to no seclusion, and are as carefully
educated as the men. and take their
place In society; but, on the other
hand they nave absolutely no indie
pendepee, and are in complete subjec-
ton to their husbands, sons and other
relations. They are without legal
rights, and under no circumstances
can wife obtain a divorce or separa-
ton from her husband however great

no country does one find a higher stan

by authority of the commissioners, has Of

is described as 46 years old, five feet ten

scars on back on head, and one thumb

The story of the crime. as told at the
coroner's inquest, which was held at the
scene of the murder, disclosed the fact
that apparently Clemens had but little

not want her to have young company.
The two did not agree, and on January
10 the girl ran away from home, going to
a neighbours. The father Worried greatly
over her disappearance, and although he
searched for the girl he got no trace of
her whereabouts until the day Of the muir
der. when he heard that his daughter
would attend the masquerade ball in COM
pany with young Trile Carter. Clemens
then told his nephew, ]. e. Clemens, that
which everyone would have to go on the
way to the ball, and when the young man
drove up with his daughter he would take
the girl and go home.
Clemens stationed himself at the gate
early in the evening, and halted each team
as 1t came up. When Boland drove up he
called out, Whose team Is this?" There
being no answer. he advanced to the We

the fire for these ambitious leaders. Whiie
Mr.. Campbell Is held in the highest esteem
by the friends Of the other candidates, they

that Councilman j. M. Bel Is In the lead
for the nomination, with Campbell second
and w. E. Hacker, commissioner OF public
works, in third place, with small follow
