We once helped man fix bit of
road through low and miry piece OF
land on his farm, says The American
Cultivator. There was bad road of
ten used AT certain seasons, and he
wanted 1t mnde good. The surface
soil was thrown out rs deep as 1t was
thought to be valuable material, and,
by the way. that well paid for the la
Dor. Then Il bit of old stone wall WAS
put into the roadway. the larger stones
being rather carefully packed at the
outsiae. 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 was covered with gravel,
and when 1t was done the owner said.
There, that job Is done, and think il
will stay done while | live" and we
think 1t would and through one or two
more generations. We have thought
since the agitation of the good roads
question that we should not reach n So
luton of it until roadmakers learned to
do their work so that 1t 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
now experiencing that comfortable
feeling that comes from big profits,
says The Breeders Gazette. 1t taxes
memory to recall time when mutton
sheep have fetched such cXtravagant
prices as at present. Indeed, taking
the range of values for sheep, year
lings and lambs, they are unprecedent-
ed in the history of the trade. They
have attained such a height that 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 OH it. So
strong is the demand for sheep and
lambs from all quarters that the can
ceiling of few export orders will have
little effect on values. Mutton eaters
are multiplying at home and furnish
an astonishing market just at present.
This comment on n prominent feature
of the trade would not be complete
without mention of the fact that the
mutton market Is experiencing thesame
change that has already come over the
beef market, steadily increasing pref
erence for young animals. Old time
ideas of animals well ripened" by age
are well nigh obsolete.

j: For the Farmer.
seeeeeeoeeeseeeee :

1t is claimed that the cost of canning
and handling fruits and vegetables will
soon be Increased from 10 to II per
cent over the season of 1899, says The
Rural New Yorker There is Il decided
increase in the cost of the metals used.
such as tin plate, cans and solder. The
labels. wrappers and paper stock come
in for their share of the rise, which
is also true of packing eases, machin-
cry, etc. The new ''classisca tons" of
the railroads will also result in higher
freight rates for canned goods. ! In
every case this increase in price is due
directly to the exactlons of Il trust or
combine of some kind. The truck gar
dener and farmer Is expected To pay
the difference in the way of lowering
of his contract prices for growing the
stock, although II would seem that he
had been squeezed to the last limit in
previous seasons. The canned goods
trade has lately toen fairly active. aud
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.

MANUSCRIPTS.
Thousands Pouring Into the Maya
zines on War Topics.

A gentleman connected with the
Office management of one of the sue
eessful Of the current magazines, was
in the city recently, looking over the
Southern field. In the course of con-
yersation he mentioned some interest
ing things discernible behind the
scenes in the publishing business.
During the last twelve months" he
said there has been a most extraor.
binary increase in the number of man.
uscripts received by the magazines
from all parts of tho country. You will
hear it talked about in every Office in
New York. 1t seems as IL the whole
nation has simply gone daft on the
subject of scribbliag. Where We re-
ceived hundred contributions year
ago we are getting It least thousand,
and all the big magazines have been
forced to double their staff of readers
and correspondence clerks to take
care of the increased mail A large
percentage of the articles submitted
have some bearing on the recent war
and are written by members of the vol
unteers. They include little of every
things-stories, sketches, poems, per-
sonal "reminiscences and historical
sketches, and We have been obliged to
get out a special circular letter stating
that we would not undertake to even
examine any more war matter. l be-
lieye most of the other magazines
have done the same thing. The aver.
age writer doesn't realize that great
er monthly publication must be run on
strictly business principles. We esti
mate that it costs Us about so cents to
put manuscript Of, say, $500 words
through the hands of the first reader.
1t is handled by three clerks before It
gets to him, and the first reading Is
merely to determine whether II is
worth any further attention. II the
verdict is favorable 1t Is carefully ex.
amined by a special staff. who read Ii
In rotation and submit a written re.

cradle money. TO give that amount of
attention to even n tenth of the stun
that pours in on US would bankrupt
any house in the country. Yet raw
amateurs are constantly complaining
because every word of their MANI
script was not read. Often they pur.
posely transpose the last few pages.
and, when they go back undisturbed
they write us sarcastic letters. AS
rule the first paragraph decides the
fate of a contribu;lon.-N. o. Times.

HENRY CHADWICK.

and his crusades against rowdyism on
the ball field are frequent. From the
time when he took an active part in
starting the national game more than
twoscorc years ago up to the present
he has made baseball the subject of
careful and intelligent study. He
formulated the first set of rules used
for the game at the request of the first
set of magnates, who were its pro-
moters, and modelled them on the reg
ulations in use for cricket at that time.
As an illustration he cites the rule
which provided for many years that a
batsman should be given base on
nine balls. Instead of using the term
balls Mr.. Chadwick had the word
wldes In his original draft, and 1t was
eliminated at the first baseball meet
ing as savoring too much of the Eng
lish game.
For years Mr.. Chadwick was the
principal rulemaker and not step
was taken by those financially at the
head Of baseball except approved by
him. He strongly advocated the dou-
BILE umpire system and now believes
that Mr.. Lynch should be appointed
supervisor OF the staff.

Caleb Clark's Rheumatic Potatoes.

The most famous man in eastern

Gushing Clark, 4 Cape Cod fisherman.
who came ashore at Bailey's Mistake
in company with his schooner during
the gale of September A. 1893. The
schooner landed among the rocks and
alder bushes twenty yards beyond
high water mark, and lies where she
struck. Clark dlscreetly remained be-
low deck until the STERN had subsidized,
when he went To neighbours house
and was taken down with an attack OF
rheumatic fever. which kept him IN
bed three months. The owner of the
house liked him so we'll that he oh.
tanned employment in the sardlne fish
cries as soon as he was able TO work,
making him so contented that he has
never wished to return to Province
town.
Though Clark can place an attach
ment on Fame ON account of the periis
he has SEEN his chief claim to distinc-
ton lies in the possession of "A remark
able breed of potatoes. the original
seeding of which was given to him by
his benefactor for the purpose OF cur
ing rheumatism. He began to carry
this potato in his pocket In March,
1894. At that time Ii was larger than
a hens egg. hard and full of juice.
During the summer 1t began TO wrinkle
and grow fiabby, SO that Clark thought
Of throwing II away for new one.
and would have done so several times
had he not been assured that to shift
rheumatic potato meant bad luck.
During the next year it had fallen
away to the size Of an English walnut
and became hardened, lying In his
pocket like a block of wood
Meanwhile Clarks rheumatism had
entirely disappeared, so one day in the
spring of 1896 after getting badly wet
ted from dipping sardnes, he hung his
trousers ON a fence to wash out in the
rain and left the osseous potato In one
Of the pockets. In June the rheumatism
returned with fury, which reminded
Clark of his potato. On searching his
trousers pockets for the talisman he
found 1t had sprouted and partially de-
cayed. Remembering the good 1t had
done him, Clark planted the tuber In
the garden and procured fresh potato
for his malady. He continued to ache
all summer until the potato which had
proved so useful to him had produced
its crop of tubers, when he selected
small one from the lot of six and put
it in his pocket.
That was three years ago. Since then
Clark has been propagating and selling
rheumatic potatoes every season. He
has sold individual tubers for as much
as ST for a single specimen. though his
regular price is 3 cents.

Improve Your style of Farming.

The farmer who is behind the times,
says correspondent of The New Eng
land Farmer, is afraid to grind his hoe
for fear of wearing 1t out or of put
ting ten cords of manure on an acre of
land for fear of getting 1t too rich, so
that his corn will all run to stalks. lie
Is contented to cut half ton of hay
per acre and thinks two tons a big crop
and doesn't want TO read any of our
agricultural papers. for he says they
print lots of stuff that no common
farmer can practice and no one but
the richest cares to try. Now, l am
contented, says the old fogy farmer,
to travel the same road my father
Travelled. He could not tell what it
cost to make quart of milk or a
pound Of butter or cheese. Many have
the idea that IL man cannot do any
thing else he can be farmer, but it
Is a great mistake. Too few of our
farmers keep debt and credit account
with their farm.

One Way Of Making a Living.

There are many and various ways OF
making living In this big city, says
the New York Times, ani between
chasing eighths" in Wall Street and
chasing potate-bugs In Jamaica, the
ways of gathering dollars are OF wide
range. One of those seldom seen by
any except the people directly irtsr-
ested is the outgrowth Of recent extern
sive waterfront improvements In the
Navy Yard. Strinkers, timbers, and
planking of yellow pine and spillng OF
spruce have been used by the scow-
load, and arouhd the corner OF tae
yard, in Little-st., some enterprising
young men have started woodward.
Ends Of spiles. rejected planks. any
thing of wood that is found floating in
the Wallabout Channel is taken in
out OF the wet" dried, split and
peddled around the neighborhood at
prices which the kindling-wood peo-
pie cannot touch, but Which. low as
they are. represent good wages for the
work done.
