rIARKED BY PROGRESS.
Direction of Gen. stone, Has
Done Good Work.

The work Of the Office of public road
inquiries, under the direction of Gen.
Roy Stone, has been marked during
the past year by steady progress along
its well-established lines. A great deal
of work is accomplished by correspond
ence and by the gathering and dissem-
mating of important information re-
lating to various phases of the road
subject. Many thousand copiesof good
roads" literature have been distrib-
uted among farmers and other persons
interested, and important road ccnven-
tions have been attended by repre-
sentatives Of the Office, and many state
legislatures have asked for and received
assistance in framing new road legisla-
tion. Examples of steel road tracks
have been completed in a number OF
different localities, and these experi-
mental sections of steel road clearly
demonstrated their usefulness for the
western states and for other places
which are but sparingly supplied with
good stone and gravel. When steel be-
comes cheap once more, the manufac-
turers can take the matter up and
make series of special shapes. The
object lessons furnished by sample
roads have been extensive, and sections
have been built in several parts of the
country. As result of the investiga-
tions, the Office considers that for local
needs as well as for our material devel-
opment and prosperity well-regu:ated
system of public roads through the
whole country is, day by day, becoming
more necessary. While we have the
most perfect railway system in the
world. our public highways are and al
ways have been inferior to those of
any other country in the civilized old
world. As our public roads are the
veins and arteries of our agricultural,
and social life, they are not
yet receiving the consideration that
their great Importance deserves. Much
has been done in the United States to.
ward road building during the last few
years, but much more needs to be done.

WANT GOOD ROADS.
The Farmers of fPennsylvaniaA Are BE.
ginning to Pay Atteatlon to the
Cost of Hauling.

The subject of good roads is begin
ming to occupy the attention of the
farmers of Pennsylvania, and prom
ises to become, before long, a prom
inent factor in state and county elec-
tions.
In recent address at Doylestown
Edmund G. Harrison, chief engineer
of the United States department Of
road inquiry, said the average cost Of
transporting products in the United
States over common roads is 25 cents
per mile, an aggregate of $90o, ,oO0,-
600. With good roads. such as they
have in many parts Of New Jersey,
Connecticut, New York, Massachu-
setts and Kentucky, he said. the cost
is reduced to eight cents per mile.
The average Of building good roads is
about $4,000 per mile.
According to these rigures, it il
much cheaper to maintain good roads
than it y to allow the poor ones to re-
main. Good roads practically effect .
saving of two-thirds in transportation.
The residents of cities have learned
to realize the benefits of improved
highways. 1t is safe to assert that
Philadelphia would not go back to the
old era of cobblestone paving and
reeking cutters if they had to sell the

HOW TO PREVENT FLIES.
First EsseAtlal Il the Removal Of
Filth an0 Trash, Their Natural
Breeding Ground.

One of the greatest nuisances about
. farm is the pest of flies in the sum-
mer and fall. 1t would be hard to
estimate the loss occasioned by them
every year about the barns, dairy and
feed-lots. No cow can do herself JUS
tice where she is forced to keep up q
continued battle with q swarm of
flies from daylight until dark. Wor-
rying at the flies is more wearing on
a team than hard labor. The cause
of pastured and fattening stock los
ing flesh in the summer is the flies.
AS with most evils, the best cure il
prevention. To prevent the pest one
must remove their breeding ground,
which is the filth and trash about the
premises. It is the case on most
farms that the manure-heaps are al
lowed to accumulate during the sum-
mer and the yards to go uncleaned.
These furnish the best of breeding
places for the flies. Swill barrels and
buckets, too, are never washed out,
incrusted with dirt, another source
of flies. In feeding the hogs and
calves milk and slop are spilled about
the troughs and barrels day after
day. The ground thus treated soon
becomes a hotbed for the eggs, which
will hatch and feed there. Open
closets and uncovered drains are an
other source, as is any place where
there Is decayed matter or filth for
the maggots to thrive upon after
Matching. Flies are far more Of q
local pest than most people imagine.
A farmhouse whose grounds are kept
clean and whose back yard is free
from refuse. slops, etc., will be little
troubled with flies. Stock kept in a
clean stable or lot will be less troubled
than the animals of the untidy, shift
less farmer. Cleanliness and flies do
not thrive together.-J. L. Irwin, In
Farm and Fireside.

just above rail with long staple, doing
same at both ends; put on another rail
as before, and continue till top of posts
is reached, which completes the first
panel. The other panels are made in
the same way, taking care not to have
both ends of the panel on the same side
of posts, but run alternately as started.
The illustration shows the way rails
are stapled to posts and the manner Of
running panels. AS the rails when put
on posts in this way do not touch each
other they will last longer than when
put on any other way; and / like this
method of making use of old rails very
well. for by setting posts and using
little wire a good fence can be made
from a very poor one. Build six to eight
rails high. Should post rot of any
time set another near it and fasten
rails as before. - j. G. Allshonse, in

PoHIsHxENr OF CHILDREN.


A refined woman recOils even from
the thought OF corporal punishment
for her children, yet it is but = short
time ago since the rod was admins
tered with cruel severity in schools
and in homes. says the New York Trib-
une. 1t can be easily proved that the
discipline in schools II far better to-
day than in those olden times when
the scholar saw the rod constantly be-
fore him to enforce obedience. 1t
might be more difficult to prove that
the children of to-day are better be
haved than the children Of few gen.
eYations ago, but we believe they are.
Whosoever trusts in God and in the adj
vancement of the race must believe
that whatever individual lapses may
occur, the boys and girls of to-day ~
whole are working out q nobler man..
hood and womanhood than the last
generation ever knew. Fear no longer
rules them, but love. There is less de-
eeit to-day among children than there
was among those who were cowed by
the whip, and sincerity is the first step
toward genuine improvement. Moth
ing is more dangerous to the moral ma
ture Of . self-respecting child who is
old enough to think than the use OF
brute force to compel its will. Such
child must be kept in the right way by
kindly persuasion and reason. He
must realize from the beginning that
his mother 10 his Heaven-given guide,
and know that she will suffer herself
and see him suffer physically rather
than have him do wrong.
A very little child is only taught by
its physical senses that fire burns and
must be avoided. It can be taught in
the same way at this early age to avoid
other evils. A trivial bodily punish
ment administered in no more retalia-
tory spirit than the burning log shows
to the small hand that reaches it will
do great deal of good. Some mothers
are foolish enough to punish children
in = fit of anger. 1t is not pleasant
thing to see man or woman, flushed
with anger, strike q little child. Chill
dren are marvelously sensitive to the
mental condition Of their elders. An
ger only srouses them to retaliatory
state. A grown person who is not able
to govern his own temper cannot hope
to govern q child and train him in the
way he should go. The moment child
is able to reason and to understand
higher motive for doing right than the
avoidance of a slight physical hurt
which a kind mother may administer
in punishment, it is time to stop such
punishment. A very little child can
be easily taughs to avoid evils by
slight rap on the hand, where 1t win do
NO injury, and like . kitten or other lit
tie animal can be taught in NO other
way, but the moment the mind devel-
ops . higher motive can be appealed to.

grading to both parent and child, for .

c.w WITH Qneer Appetite.


Occasionally we hear of cattle that
develop an abnormal appetite for
wood, eating rotten pieces Of boards,
etc. A contributor to National Stock
man states that at one Crawford
county institute q gentleman COM
planned that one of his COWS had
eaten q pig-pen, q string of fence and
other lumber on the premises, and he
had been compelled to fence her away
from .he barn to save it. He has fed
her many and various feeding stuffs.
besides bonemeal, sawdust and other
side-dishes. With lumber at present
prices, the COW has expensive tastes.
He wishes to know what produced the
appetite, and what will cure it. He
thinks he has provided foods that fur
nish ali the mineral elements needed,
and the inclination to chew sticks and
boards seems now to be only . vicious
