TIGHT FOUNDATION.

tration shows an excellent plan. Dig
a trench close TO the barn, and then
dig in under the barn TO the required
distance TO accommodate the founda-
ton stones. Exactly under the edge of
the barn, at the bottom of the wide
trench, drive stakes and put down
rough board. Now fill in behind the
board with loose stones, put on another
old board and continue to fill in the
loose stones until they stand level with
the surface of the ground. The part of
the trench outside the boards can now
be filed in with earth, packing ii down
soldly, leaving the old boards where
they are. The fat stones above the
ground can then be put in and cement
ed. Perhaps they can be put In more
conveniently before filing in the out
side trench.-Orange Judd Farmer.

ROndsIde Ernit Trees.

1t is announced that the French gov
eminent, looking out for a new source
Of revenue, has determined 10 plant
fruit trees all along the public high
roads Of France. The French are a
law-abiding people, but the announce
ment, one imagines, will carry JOY to
the heart of the French boy. The side
Of the public road is hardly the most
prudent place in which TO plant the
choicest Hibstons and Blenheim or
anges On the other hand, fruit trees
might be planted to the great advan-
tage Of the farmer in this country.
Without the smallest desire TO dis
place the elm. the oak and the ash,
which adorn the landscape and make
good timber when they are felled, APP
pies and pears in the place of much
timber which is to be found along the
country roads would be welcome.

PERMANENT ROADS
Big Sums Are Now Spent for Tenn
porpry improvements.

Report Is current that more than $780,
100000 are spent annually in this coun-
try for the temporary improvement of
the public highways. A significant
sum, when it is considered that its ex-
penditure leaves the country in no bet
ter condition than before its use. The
money spent in repairing the roads is
practically waste, for il gives no per-
manency 10 the improvement. A bridge
may be put in tomorrow, and next
week 1t washes out; manhole may be
filled this week and next week a rain
transforms ii into the same old mud
hole. A rut may be corrected, and in
less than "a hours the work is made void
and hence has TO be repeated.
There is need for improvement and
repairs which shall be permanent and
substantial-not only of value to-mor-
row, but for all time to come. 1t were
better and more economical thorough
ly 10 improve one mile of road than TO
throw up a dump in the middle of 20
miles of road and call it improved. The
lack of permanency in the betterment
of our thoroughfares is the feature of
the good roads question TO which large
importance should and does attach.
We have no definite plan for the i'm
provement of the roads, that at this
time would be universally adopted
with good results, but in the absence
of plan we are in the midst of so many
bad roads as TO compel the recognition
of vast need of feasible and prac-
ticable method. We all know the pres
ent system is failure, costly blunder
and unsatisfactory everywhere, and be-
lieve that new system is bound TO be
ushered in at an early day. In Sec
tions of Indiana and some other states
macadam roads have been constructed,
and the service is perfect. Where the
materials for macadamizing are at
hand, there is no better way Of perma-
nently improving the highways. II Is
not necessary TO argue the value Of i'm
proved roads 10 farmers, how they
would enhance the value of land, i'm
prove the social conditions in the coun-
try, and enable farmers to get better
prices for their products in that they
could get them to market when prices
were high. Every body believes we
should have good roads, but the people
are not active enough in their demands,
and not agreed as to methods which
will insure effective action. There
needs to be concentration Of effort, es-
pecially among the farmers, and agita-
ton and thought should be constant,
since both precede action. What prop
erly may be called good road is one on
which the farmer can haul heavy loads
during rainy weather; one in which
there are no ruts, washouts and bumps;
one that IS good when the weather is
bad, and over which team may pull
an empty wagon without experiencing
that fatigue so common on the rough,
rutty, ragged roads which annually are
worked at large aggregate expense and
improved in general unevenness.-

1t would require about all the water
that would run through a three-quar-
ter-inch pipe TO keep the smallest size
ram running continually.
The reservoir at spring holds water
enough to run the hydraulic ram about
an hour, then it stops and holds the
water from running away until the
spring fills again and runs out through
a pipe at top Of reservoir and operates
