Breaking Out Road. In Winter.


At a Farmers Institute In kenncbec
County. Maine, Mr.. H. e. Buzzel gave
his experience for the past i've winters
In breaking out the 100 miles Of road
In his town. The average depth OF
snowfall during a winter for the last
twenty years has been ninety six
inches, or eight feet Of snow year.
For the past twelve years they have
used rollers. and now have six OF them
TO cover the ti0 miles. They have
roads from eleven to thirteen feet wide
without high ridges at the side. SO that
heavily loaded teams can pass each
other safely. even after tho hen viest
snowfalls, which usually come In
February and March. The average cost
for the past five years has been 5000
per year. including all expenses OF
shoyeling when necessary to get the
first rollers through. This Is In the
town of Fryeburg, but many towns
near there are now using the same sys-
tenn. Hut there are still many towns
In the State that have less than 100
miles OF road that spend from 81. TOO to

August 9TH, instant, contains az inter
view with Congressman Mudd, which
We regret our want of space compels
rs TO omit from this issue. The inter
view is authorized" and we expect TO
print il in full next week. Mr.. Mudd
says among other things: "Ching did
not, certainly not In any material sense
at all, shape the course Of the conven-
ton, &c" While protesting the SINGER
est sympathy and friendship for Mr.
Ching, the Congressman disapproves of
Ching's prominence In the convention
and says:
I'm acting in this way, however, / de-
sire TO say, in my judgment, his action
was decidedly rePrehensible and un wise,
both for himself and for his party. The
slightest exercise OF judgment or sense
Of proprieiy should hate prompted him
TO abstain from any participation what
ever In the convention under his present
circumstances" Mr.. Mudd says no res
olution was adopted by the convention
denouncing prosecutors and traducers
of character" though he says II was
read.
There are several points in Mr.. Mudd's
interview that we expect to touch upon
in our next paper when we will reprint
oil he had to say to the Herald represen-
tativc.

But there is another reason why
Admiral Evans should consider
