HORSES II ROADS.
vance q Theory That Appears
Just On Little Selfish.

What is called a new view of tn.
good roads question appears in a
recent number of the Horse World, in
the form of a statement from DR.. II. II.
Kane, president of the Drivers and
Riders League of New York. In sup
port of his belief that there should be
a modification of the terms demanded
by the present agitators for good roads,
DIR. Kane says among other things
h a farmers and haulers of heavy
loads of merchandise on our roads dc
not own 25 per cent. of the horses in
the United States. Hence, the argu-
ment in favor of stone roads for their
benefit should not have so much
weight; that even if we admit that
stone roads are an excellent thing for
the farmer, they are a positive source
of injury and disease to the horses of
others; that in districts where stone
roads prevail shoeing must be one one
third oftener than in the case of horses
used on dirt roads.
The doctor mentions hat the good
roads movement was started by the l..
A. W., and that they annot be blamed
for looking after their own interests,
but that it is not fair to favor n
class and work positive injury to horse
owners when there is a feasible plan
Cor so constructing roads as to equally
benefit all drivers, equestrians, automo-
bilists farmers and bicyclists. DR..
Kane's plan is to have one road (the
main artery of traffic to and from the
principal market) built of stone for the
farmers and those who do heavy truck
ing, and having this road and all others
where there is much traffic so built
hat the cente is of stone, a space of
six or eight feet wide on each side
made into a good dirt road with or with
out a cycle path, as the L.. A. ". may
deem advisable
DR.. Kane's argument does not rep
resent a new view of the road question
so much as a reiteration of the old
plan of owners of high-bred horses,
who have long held that hard roads
worked havoc with the delicate and
shapely limbs of their costly pets.
There is doubtless some truth in this,
but the great majority of the public
who are interested in having good
roads for many other practical pur-
poses than as a speedway for choice
stock, will wonder how such horses
can be kept in the city without the in
furious results attributed to hard coun-
try roads. Even though DR.. Kane ex-
plains that he favors the best kind of
dirt road, it is not probable hat his
plan of a roa with a stone center and
dirt sides could be made serviceable.
In the first place, not all country roads
are wide enough to permit of a
satisfactory trial of the double plan,
and it is not likely that those who use
such a road would equalize the traffic
so as to prevent it from becoming very
Uneven. a good dirt road with a
basis of stone is all right in certain dis
tricts, but for sections where there is
considerable traffic it is doubtful if the
macadam road, with frequent coverings
of sand, Ear be improved upon.

AND ROADS.
A New York State Experiment Which
Contains a Valuable Lesson for
County Officials.

The agitation of the League of
American Wheelmen to have convicts
used in building public roads is slowly
making Roadway. On this subject the
New York Post recently contained the
following:
1.-THE League for Good Roads in
Oneida county reports ~favorably on
the experiment of employing convicts
on roadmaking. Under the direction
of the board of supervisors and the
superintendent of a trained engineer
the county prisoners have constructed
a macadam road $40 miles long
through the village of New York
Mills, rear Utica The county author
tiles made a contract with the road
district whereby it was to furnish la
borers at 25 cents a day n allow
the use of it's stone crusher, steam
roller, etc, free of charge. The road
district furnished the necessary fuel
and material and paid for supervision.
The cost of the road was about $3.50.
or 81, 800 a mile, and the total cost
was only three times the amount of
the annual road tax. As it will cost
only $3.50 a yea to keep the new road
IN repair, the annual saving will
Amount to about $3.50, and after the
cost has been repaid the taxpayers
will be relieved to this extent. or the
money can be devoted to other i'm
provements. While this road was
building the state authorities were
constructing a similar one of equal
length which was to cost, at the con.
tract price, $4,000"

wha = MoxuI Can DO.

That was a remarkable demonstration Of
what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the
New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No. 94S, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
in all. The total weight of the train was
$4,000 pounds, or GIG tons, and the length
of the train, including the engine, was 1,2l2
feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, LAB miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes.
There is no railroad In the world which
has a better roadbed, more skillful engi-
neers, or better equipment, backed by loyal
men always alert for the safety of their pas
sengers, than the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad. What road can
match its corps of men, from President Cal
laway down the long line of employees, to
the humble and faithful trackmen who
watch their sections of rail through the
long hours of the night and day, in order to
safeguard the lives of the travellers on trains
whirling by their humble shanties, many of
which nestle closely to the rails under their
neutrality-suspicious. from the Albany

E AGE MARKS.
Rules Adopted for the Oh
Live stock Judges in England
and Ireland.

Nowadays, when early maturity is
,eing so much cultivated in the case
of all breeds of stock. the dentitfon
of farm animals shows much more
variation than was usual in the old
days, when animals were not forced
to a finish at anything like the high
rate of pressure which has of late
years been INDUCED in. One of the
consequences of this high-pressure-sys-
tenn of feeding has been that the lead
ing English show-promoting bodies,
such as the Smithfeld club, the Royal
and other agricultural societies, have
found it necessary to lay down special
rules for the determination of the
ages of such animals as are exhibited
at their shows. The Royal Dublin so
ciety. in common with the other lead
ing agricultural bodies, has found it
necessary to adopt certain regulations
in this direction. The rules for cattle
follow:
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors fully up will be consid-
cred as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair of
permanent incisors fully up will be con-
sidered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair of in
cisors cut will be considered as ex-
ceeding two years and eight months.
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor-
permanent incisors fully up, and
their anterior molars showing signs
of wear. will be considered as exceed
ing three years.

THE OLD MAN WOKE UP.
And After the His
kers BristIed Victor
iOusIy.

A vigorous octogenarian turned the
tables the other morning on one OF
the legion of cabmen whose vehicles
t%errorize the crossings. The incident
did the spectators a world of good and
frightened up it's chief actor wonder
fully.
1t was at the corner of Ann street
and Broadway. The old man was
hobbling across. leaning heavily on
his stick. his white whiskers dropping
dejectedly, when he heard a snort
right over his shoulder and. looking
up hastily. saw a horse rearing back
and a triumphant-looking cabby bear
ing down upon him. The old fellow
jumped a yard and both the horse
and its driver laughed at him, says
the New York Mail and Express.
Then the aged citizen remembered his
youth and threw himself lightly into
a defensive posture, while his stick
whistled through the air like a rapier.
"Dern you" he calculated. slapping
the horse across the nose with his
stick. "Dern you some more" he re-
peated. rapping it over the tanks and
hopping about like a s~uperannuated
locust.
"Hooray for grandpal" shouted the
spectators. Oabby's face Redeemed
and his horse looked astonished. The
old man kept lunging and parrying
and the driver kept backing. Finally
the cabman whirled about and started
up Broadway. BY this time he was
grinning affably as one who applaud
ed a game foe.
The octogenarian put down his cane
and hobbled away, but this time his
whiskers bristled VIGOROUSLY and his
feet seemed keeping time to some in
audible march tune

r,crea.tne the Tomato Crop.

If you want your tomato plants to
bear plenty of fruit do lot feed them
too literally with manure until each
is furnished with at least three punches
of fruit. Too much manure encour-
ages rank growth, which is not con-
ducive to fruit bearing. Keep all side
shoots removed, allowing one main
stem only to each plant. Do not re-
move any of the leaves unless they are
diving or infected with disease. To-
matoes in greenhouses should get plen-
ty of air daily. During the middle of
the day give each plant a gentle shake
to distribute the pollen and insure fruit
forming freely.
