SPRING FEVER.

That is the one fever which no human being is
exempt from. When the sap begins to rise, and
vthe green gets back in the trees" when the warm
wind blows across the field laden with spring odors,
there comes the attack of spring fever The house
wife feels it and goes about her spring cleaning
langudly. The farmer feels it and goes YEARLY
a-fied to stumble with heavy feet behind the plow.
Everybody knows the symptoms of spring lever the
languor heaviness and lack of energy, the variable
appetite and unrestful sleep. There seems to be
no ambition Moehills of work look as big as
mountains And perhaps to all other discomforts
is added the breaking out of boils or eruPhons on
the body's surface.
What is the cause of this outbreak of feveri
The condition of the blood. Winter is the time
of leisure on the farm and the farmer takes far less
exercise than in other seasons. He eats heartily or
heavy foods He sits at evening by the hot stove
and not seldom breathes vitiated atmosphere
Thus with hearty living and diminished exercise
the body accumulates waste substances which should
be thrown off and these substances CORRUPT the
blood and cause the heavness of body and dullnesS
of brain so commonly associated with spring fever
Health demands that these impurities shall be
purped from the blood, for they not only the
cause of present discomfort but they offer prepared
breeding ground for disease germs. It's OF no ultl-
mate value to resort to stimulants use the aco-
hoiic preparations sold spring medicine. They
brace I'D but they don't build up. They make you
ufeel good for the time being, but that is all.
There is a non-alcoholic and non-narcotc rnedl-
cine which is urrvalled for its blood purifying
powers This medicine is known throughout the
land as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
cleanses the blood from the impurities which clog
and corrupt it. II increases the activity or the
blood rnaling glands, that the supply OF pure,
healthy blood is increased, and the whole body built

blood can make

HOW TO BUILD ROADS.
They Shold Be Rounded Tip in the

The first principle applicable to all
roads is good drainage. Take the wa

ing of every road. 1t is not enough to
dig trenches at the side of the road and
call them drains. These trenches must
be real drains; that is, they must have
good fall to clear outlet, and be in
every respect capable of carrying the
water away. The road must be round
ed up in the center so as to shed the wa

road along which travel can pass. This
track must be hard and smooth so as to
afford the least friction TO travel, pre-
vent ruts and at the same time permit
water to run off { he sides quickly. Ruts
and holes must not be permitted to
form, but be filled up as soon as they
appear. The drainage must not be
abandoned with the taking care of the
surface water, but in many instances
must extend below the surface in che
form of tile underdrains, so as to form
firm foundation and lessen the de-
structive action of the frost-injurIous
only to wet and water soaked roads. In
addition TO the simple work on roads,
better methods with regard to culvert
and bridge construction are greatly
needed. The principles above enum-
Grated with respect to roads require an
infinity of special methods and treat.

PAYING INVESTMENT.
steel Roadway In Spain Paid for
Itself In Two Years by saving
in Road Repairs.

The American consul at Valencia,
Spain. reports these facts to the state
department at Washington: The road
between Valencia and Grao is two miles
in length. and an average of 1890 ve-
hcles pass over ii daily. Until 1892 il
was constructed of flint stone. The
annual cost of keeping il in repair was
about $4,000 pesetas. AT the rate of ex-
change at that date this amounted TO
S5.470. The construction of steel
roadway was determined on, and the
annual cost of keeping in repair the
central zone of road thus relieved from
heavy traffic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only 2.5OO pesetas, or
about $3.50 at the present rate of ex-
change.
The tota! cost of the road laid was
60.95O pesetas 1$0,506). The expense in
detail was: Steel construction, 44,100
pesetas ($6.So0); transportation and
laying steel construction. $3.50 pesetas
($50T); binding stone construction be-
tween rails and lateral zones, $4,000
pesetas t$2.l09); total. 60.950 pesetas
$9,506).
The rails, during he seven years they
have been in position. exhibit wear of
1-250th of an inch yearly. and have not
required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between the
rails for two horses to walk abreast.
Horses do not appear to slip on rails OF
this construction. AT each side of the
rail are layers of binding stones, the
paved road being higher than the face
of the rails. The municipality of
Valencia is of opinion that the saving
in cost of repairs through road of this
description pays for its construction in
short time. and other and similar
roadways are in contemplation.
From various parts of Spain in
quiries have been made concerning this
road. learn that similar construc-
tion was decided on at Alicante in 1898
but was temporarily abandoned when
events caused exchange to increase. A
toll of (about) eight-tenths of cent
is charged each vehicle passing over
| this roadway.

small Expense.

Quite often tile drains do not come
up to expectations. The term of their
usefulness is much shorter than the
durable nature out of which the tile
are made would indicate. In soft or
quicksandy ground they are apt to
get out of line. AT places the line of the
drain may come near the surface. At
such places and at the outlet, tile are
apt to be crumbled by freezing, unless
they are vitrified, which adds much to
their cost. In common with all kinds
of drains they are. more or less, liable
to become choked with roots or silt or
injured by the presence of vermih.

Grand Clubbing offe7
Not So Bad After All,

The old line fire insurance compan-
les are making desperate efforts to
retain their hold on the farmers of
Highland and adjoining counties. The
following is one of the circulars scat
tered by them:
ANOTHER FARMERS MUTUAL GONE.
The Farmers Mutual Insurance AS
sociation, of Thompson, Geauga coun-
ty, Ohio, has been placed in a Recei-
ver's hands, Selah Daniels. the Presi-
dent. being appointed to wind up it's
affairs. A number of farmers are
caught in the failure. 1t has been in
a risky condition for some time.
1t has betweet 1,500 and 1000 policy
holders in Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga
and Trumbull counties. In late years
the assessments were not sufficient to
pay losses and the directors began
borrowing money on notes at the Char
don Bank and kept increasing the
amount as necessity required, until at
the present time the indebtedness to
the bank is about $4,000. Besides
this there are about $1,000 fire losses
unpaid, making the Indebtedness OF
the company about $l5, 600, with prac.
tically no assets. All policy holders
during the time the indebtedness was
incurred will be assessed to meet the
deficiency, and it is said suits to col.
lect will be commenced as soon as the
matter can be got through the courts
The failure is severe one to the far
mers of the four counties who are in
J the company, as, besides having a
heavy assessment staring them in the
face, they find their property without
insurance.
Even if the statements of this circu
lar letter be true, an analysis prove,
it not so frightful after all. 1000 pol
