EXPENSE OF HAULING.
In, New Jersey 1t Has Been Reduced
~ to Minimum by the Building
/ of Stone Roads.

Regarding the making of stone roads
the question is frequently asked wheth-
er the increased taxation does not
amount to more than the advantages
gained. State Commissioner Budd. of
New Jersey, reports that before the
construction of good roads the expense
Of carting a few pounds of produce to
market was so great that farmers,
where possible, found it much cheaper
to send by car or boat. But now they
are purchasing broad tread wagons.
which carry from 130 to 225 five-eighths
bushel baskets of vegetables and fruits.
while before they only carried from 80
to so baskets, and are returning with
from three to five-ton loads of manure.
On the ferry leading to the Philadel-
phia markets this year the passage of
2,440 teams per day was counted car
rying from three to five tons on each
load. Stone roads place the farmers
almost at the door of the consumer,
saving many Intermediates, all of whom
are forced to have a profit. His in
creased loads, the saving in transporta-
tion, the dispensing with the comm;s-
sion man, and the delivering of the
produce to the grocer or consumers
doors have resulted in saving to the in
dividual farmer sums ranging from ten
to twenty dollars on each load.

WASHING THE FACE.
Nothing Else Is Quite as Helpful for
Clearing the Skin from All
Impurities.

The story is told of a young wom-
an who was afflicted with blackheads
visiting a physician in search of a
remedy for the Disagreement, and
being politely and candidly told to
wash her face thoroughly in plenty Of
hot water and soap and keep it clean.
Not every physician is frank enough
to tell his patient the true cause of
''blackheads'' or the failure of the fine
sebaceous glands of the face to do
their work and cast out impurities
from the skin. When for any reason
whatsoever these oil glands are
clogged, what is popularity known as
''blackheads" appear. This is simply
a collection of impurities in the
mouth of the gland, which it has not
force enough: to throw. off. These
''blackheads' appear often on the nose
and in the space between the eyes
because the sebaceous glands are
very abundant in these places. The
only remedy for ''blackheads' is to
stimulate the glands to do their work
by washing the face with plenty of
hot water, using just as hot water
as one can bear. Use pure white
CASTLE soap to assist in the stim-
ulating and cleansing process. Large
''blackheads" must often be pressed
out, and if there is any irritation a
little cold cream should be used. This
cold cream is 1fade of almond oil, and
not lard or mutton tallow, as most
of the cold cream of commerce are
made. Coarse animal fats, like lard
or mutton tallow, clog up the glands
themselves and produce 'black-
heads" Steaming the face by laying
cloths wrung out in water as hot as
you can bear it helps to clear the
skin from impurities.
A person afflicted with ''blackheads"
and pimples, which are the legitimate
result of "blackheads,s has scientifi-
cally a ''dirty face" no matter how
many times it has been washed in a
conventional manner. Sponges and
all wash cloths should be scalded fire.

ART OF BEDMAK1NG.
Although 1t II Easily Mastered, Many
HousekeepeFs Do Not Under-..
stand Its Rudiments.

Before making up the beds see to it
that the rooms have been aired. On a
clear, sunshiny day open the windows
before break fast and strip the bed,
hanging the clothing over chairs near
the windows.
Allow the rooms to air for couple
of hours and shake the bed clothing
free of dust. If the day is rainy do not
open the beds while the room is airing.
They will gather moisture if you do.
On damp day hang the bedding to air
in the rooms with the windows closed,
make up the beds and air the rooms
again after the beds have been made
up. 4 p,
The most important part of bedmak-
ing is to get the sheets properly ad-
iusted. Wrinkles in a sheet are an
abomination. The bottom sheet should
be tucked in securely at the top so that
it cannot be jerked down by the rest
lessness of the sleeper. =
The top sheet should be tucked in
tightly at the bottom so that it cannot
easily be drawn out of place.
:: It should be laid with the wide hem
at the top and the rough side of the
hem turned uppermost. SO that when it
is folded back over the ,coverlet the
right side will. be exposed.-N. Y.

Currant Culture Condemned.


Currants are easily grown; a clay
soil that is rich and moist, not wet, is
to be preferred-they give best results
in shady situations-hence are excel
lent to set in orchards. Five by four
feet is the distance most generally
used. Clean and thorough cultivation
is very necessary to produce the largest
sized fruit. They are gross feeders and
appreciate liberal dressing. Amajor-
ity. of growers use yard manure. Re-
move all old canes and weak shoots.
Mulching with either coarse material
or the dust mulch is quite necessary,
during the hot season particularly.

eggs; D, arranged as at c. Old SCARED
punctures are shown at E.
gust and September, it appears in each
case that the trees were grown at that
time in weeds and grass, cultivation
having been suspended for one cause
or another, and the orchard weeds al
lowed to grow unchecked. Inquiry
from the same reporters as to the
amount of injury in orchards where c;ul-
tivat tion was not thus suspended shows
in such an almost entire immunity from
the work of the pest. The inference is
too plain to need argument. Clean cul-
ture during the late summer, to keep
the ground free from the weeds on
which the young hoppers feed, will
protect the young orchard from attack.
When the trees are already badly
punctured the only thing that can be
done is to cultivate generously the CON-
ing season, to keep the injured trees in
the best of thrift and so assist them
in outgrowing the injury. 1t has been
suggested by some that the injured
branches should be pruned out and
burned, thus reducing the number of
the pests the next season, but if such
a plan were to be put in practice it
would result in many cases in the re-
moval3of% entire trees, no part of the
small tree being exempt from attack.
The eggs which are laid in August in
the wounds in the bark hatch the next
May or June, and it is suggested that
at the time when observation shows
the insects to be emerging it will be
possible to destroy most of the tender
young by spray of kerosene emul-
sion at a moderate strength. So much
reliance may be placed upon clean cul-
ture, however, that this spraying is not
considered necessary, though a prac-
tical method of destruction if done at
the right time.
