The "Kangaroon start.

OF the hundreds of thousands of per-
sons who witness college or other ath-
letic sports probably not one In a hun
dred thousand persons knows how the
peculiar crouching or kangaroo" start
of the sprinters originated.
Eleven years ago every sprinter stood
up to the mark with one arm extended.
At the crack of the pistol he brought
his arm down hard and leaped for
ward. This start was considered the
proper thing. Now not one sprinter In
score uses this method. Instead they
crouch with hands as well as feerupon
the ground. This start was discovered
by accident In May. 1890. by Tommy
Lee, at that time one of the crack
sprinters of the New York Athletic
club. Soon afterward he became the
champion OF the world. and several of
his records made In Canada still stand
ms records of that country.

A New Industry.

The road engineer has gradually Gre
ated new industry In this country in
the past ten years. His profession is
one that offers extensive Inducements
in many directions, and bright minds
find employment therein for talents
that are Of the highest order Commu-
mites all over the country are awaken
ing 10 the fact that road building Is a
science just as much as railroad engi-
neerlng or bridge construction and that
roads cannot be built by those not
thoroughly familiar with the question.
Tho mere placing Of broken stones on
a roadbed and rolling them In does not
produce good road any more than tine
piling up Of dirt in continuous bank
produces a good roadbed for the steam
engines and cars. There is workman
ship OF highly technical character
that counts. and scientifically trained
mind must meet new conditions aud
adapt the road to different needs and
circumstances. -Gunton's Magazine.

New York;. New Race Track.

The plan of New York State Senator
Timothy d. Sullivan and his associates
among Tammany Hall politicians to
construct n new race course near New
York city has taken definite shape, and
negotiations for the purchase of real
estate mile and half from Jamaica,
on the line of the southern branch of
the Long Island railroad, have. been
opened and terms agreed on.
The property comprises about 110
acres at point where a new station, to
be known as Locust. is to be establish
ed, the railroad officials having prom
ised their aid in the carrying out of the
scheme. There also will be trolley line
conveniences. The land will require no
grading, as 1t now is level, as is most
of the surrounding country. There Is
also plenty of water easily accessible.
1t is said that the actual work of lay
ing out and constructing the race track
will begin in 80 days. and plans agreed
upon provide for completion by March
!, 1902. An oval mile and a shoot
furnishing straight course of five and
a half furlongs will be built. At all
points the "shoot" and the main track
will be ITO feet wide.
The grand stand will be 500 feet in
length. Whether it will be a wood or
steel structure has not been decided.
A commodious clubhouse will also be
erected. The betting ring will be twice
as large as the largest inclosure for
bookmakers and their customers pro
vided by any club now racing on Long
Island.
Articles of incorporation will be filed
within n month for the new racing as
sociation, which is to be known as the
Metropolitan Jockey club. Those inter-
ested in the new association assert that
the stock has all been subscribed for.

The trouble seems to be in the ripe or
nearly ripe seed. The purple and tall

In Scotland when they have reason
to think the sheep have grub in the
head the shepherd usually takes each
one and blows tobacco smoke up the
nostrlls almost to the point of stupefy-
ing the sheep and the grubs, too; then
gives to each pinch of yellow snuff to
start them sneezlng, which dislodges
the grub. so that it is discharged. We
never tried this because the putting
out a little pine tar on boards and
scattering little salt on 1t usually
tarred the nose of the sheep so that the
fly did not trouble them, or for small
flock we took them as they went out of
the yard and with a wooden paddle
daubed the nose of each one as we let
them through the gate.

Mule Versus Horse,

Mules are preferred for farm work in
the south because they require less
feed, are less liable to disease, harder
every way and will do more work than
horses 20 per cent heavier. says Farm
and Ranch. They are more reliable
and have fewer vices. They are not as
fast as horses, but get there sooner be-
cause their gait is more uniform and
persistent. A pair of good mules makes
the best farm team on earth. Under
the saddle the mule does not show of
fort in riding one. They are more sure
footed and in critical junctures find a
way out far more readily than horse.

The surface Is now ready to receive the
bedrock.
The bedrock consists of six inches Of
broken stone passed through a three
inch ring. These broken stones should
be spread with a dumping wagon or

stone from wagon in one place and
spread with rake by pulling. This al

used in leveling the broken stone.
The second layer should consist Of
three or four inches of stone broken to

thing which will go through one inch

sprinkled and rolled until perfectly

Instead of using the rolls when the road

This would appear to be solid and

1t needs attention. The repairing of n
macaddm road requires more skill and
attention than the original construc-

keep the road in good shape If care is
used. But after five years, resurfaclng

WORKS FOR GOOD ROADS.
A New Workers. Plan For Highway
Improvement.


One of the most interesting develop
ments In the road improvement move
ment has just taken place in Orange
county, N. Y.-namely, the formation
of company by Il. II. Hartman for
the construction of roads in that coun-
ty at a low price. Mr.. Hartman owns
several thousand acres of land, known
as Arden Farms, in the towns of Tux
edo and Woodbury. and has constructed
fine roads In every part of his estate,
which are open to the public. But his
interest In road Improvement Is not
limited to his own neighborhood. 1t Is
said he believes that the Orange coun-
ty milk dealers and farmers would be
more prosperous and the county more
attractive to summer visitors If the
roads were improved everywhere.
Mr.. Hartman is said to be conscious,
however. that In order to make the i'm
provement of roads attractive to farm
ers the cost of road improvement must
be kept very low. He has accordingly
organized the Orange County Road
Construction company to bid for con
tracts for road Improvement In that
county, intending to make low bidsand
thus keep the price of road improve.
ment down. An act was passed by the
legislature this year authorizing the
board of supervisors of Orange county,
II the contract was awarded to II for
the construction or Improvement Of any
public highway, either to perform the
work themselves or award subcon.
tract for the performance of the work
Mr.. Harriman's company thus has a
chance to bid upon the work. AS stat
ed, 1t is not intended to be money
making concern.

No man can expect to conduct farm

be run at profit without brain work
than can the manufacturing or mer7

on earth that could stand the leaks that
many farmers have and still pay prof

leaks that your own carelessness and
ignorance are levying on you, and you
will be amply rewarded, and success

The chief use Of lime from an agri-
cultural standpoint is to sweeten the
soil and to act upon latent plant food,
breaking down organic matter and set
ting 1t free so that plants can utilize it.
Lime In itself contains little or no ele-
ments which plants require and is not
properly classified as n fertilizer. 1t is
used commonly In preparing land for
wheat or rye, but may also be sown
broadcast on meadows. The presence
of red sorrel In any quantity indicates
that the land Is sour and acid and Is
sign that an application of lime would
be beneficial. Wood ashes in less de-
gree serve the same purpose, as they
contain a considerable proportion OF
lime. They also have the additional
value of adding potash and phosphoric
acid to the soil.

Highway engineering In Massachu-

New York has done and hopes to do for
the Improvement of its highways Is

The FIRST three Important points 10
consider In the construction of road,
says n road engineer, are grade. cost Of

y aking of the grade, he says that
theoretically a level road Is the one
sought after, but experience teaches
that one-half or per cent grade is
preferable, securing better drainage,
which Is tie basis of life of Il road. A
level road through low lands Is very
expensive thing. road needs the sun
as much as a crop and should have To-
cations on the sides OF hills to suit the
sun. Distance should always be sacri-
feed In favor of grade. The grade
should never brcnk in fill, but at ell

Substantial poultry houses are the
most durable, warmest and in the end
the cheapest. A neat, handsome and
low cost building is made by using un-
matched inch boards nailed on two by
four studding, covered with building
