WONDERFUL CASE IN INDIANA

Buck Greek, Ind, July 15th.-Mrs.

the pain was so great that she could
not sleep at night.
She used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
she is well and entirely free from
pain or any symptom of the Rheuma.

Keepins Roads i'm Condition.

Fred Grundy, in Farm and Fireside,
tells us he has been watching ''road-
keeper" care for ten miles of black
earth road, and he has kept it in
good condition, not by macadamizing
it or by covering it with crushed
stone, but by providing good drain
age, by tile in most places, to take
the water off, and by digging out
some of the worst places about IS
inches deep and filling with broken
brick, tile, coal, cinders or whatever
will make q firm foundation, and al
low water to drain through. Then If
the roads are rounded up to allow
the water to run off and they get
. little attention after every rain,
they are easily kept in good condi-
ton. The results are much better
and the cost much less than they
were for the annual turnout of the
district to mend, or often to make
worse the roads, the job being ex-
pected then to be done until the same
season comes around another year.

The old strawberry bed.

A Maryland strawberry grower
says: My way of handling old straw
berry rows, which I wish to keep for
another year is as follows: AS soon
as they are done bearing NOW of
the tops as close as possible, and
then apply well-rotted manure, bone
meal, if have it, and wood ashes.
This is applied when the weather is
damp. After moving burn the
stalks and leaves. 1t is now easy to
remove all weeds and cultivate close
to the plants. This is the time to pile
on the fertilizer. Plants then start
out new growth and make fine
bed by fall, when I cover them with
straw after the ground freezes.

SIMPLE SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION.

trenches shown in the figure as trend
ing diagonally toward the right-hand
lower corner. From these trenches
the water can be turned upon the low
er fields so that the excess or seepage
is not wasted, but is employed on the
less elevated tracts.
Canvas dams are generally employed
in checking the waters over the field,
as they are most convenient. The fol-
lowing description will enable anyone
to construct them, and will also ex-
plain their use. The materials used in
the construction of canvas dam are
a piece of timber, usually two by
four scantling, long enough to reach
across the top of the ditch from bank
to bank; a. small stick varying in
length according to the width of the
ditch to be damned, but no longer
than will lie across the bottom of the
ditch without leaving any consider
able space between the stick and the
bottom; a brace or stick about one
third longer than the depth of the
ditch and piece of canvas about one
third wider than the depth of the
ditch and as long as the width of the
ditch at the upper edge. The canvas
is cut into q trapezoidal shape, some
what resembling but larger than a
section of the ditch. The long edge of
the canvas is fastened to the scant-
ling first described and the short edge
to the small stick. It is we'll to have
little margin of the canvas below
this short stick.
The dam is placed by throwing the
scantling across the ditch just below
the point at which it is desired to di-
vert the water. The canvas rests in
the ditch, with the short stick lying
across the bottom, far enough up
stream from the location of the scant-
ling to make the canvas nearly tight.
The brace is placed with one end
against the scantling and the other
against the short stick, thus prevent
ing the canvas from being washed
back under the scantling.
A little earth is thrown upon the
loose edges of the canvas, where it
rests against the banks and against
the bottom of the ditch, and the
water is turned in. The weight of the
water presses the canvas against the
banks, so that there is scarcely any
leakage. In some cases permanent
dams with head gates are placed in
the bitches, and this is often done
where bitches branch and it is desira-
bic to divert the water to one or the
other branch.-W. j. Blanchard, in
Farm and Home.

SHABBY, EARL OF NORFOLK.
One of Enaland's Most Noted Peers Ere
quently Mistaken for .
Plebian.

As il we'll known, the duke of Nor
folk, the premier peer of England,
whose title dates back to the earliest
times and whose wealth is boundless,
is very careless of his personal APP
pearance. No one meeting him would
take him for other than q very or
binary man-a tradesman or mechan-
ic, perhaps, says London paper. He,
by virtue of the security of his title,
is the marshal of England and at all
royal functions of public character
acts as marshal of the day. A we'll
known woman of quality had q house
near Arundel, and when she and her
family were removing to London the
duke contemplated buying the place
as a house for member of his family.
One morning Mrs. - was in her bed
room shortly after breakfast, when a
servant came up to tell her that a
messenger had called from the castle.
ssWhere is hep" she asked. ooh! he's
in the hall, ma'am." knowing the
dukes habits of activity in the coun-
try she felt some misgivings and hur-
ried downstairs to find the earl-mar-
shall of England sitting quite patiently
on a hall chair with his hat in his
hands. She overwhelmed him with
apologies, Of course, but the duke was
most amused and laughingly said that
he delighted in an appearance which
protected him from attentions which
would make his life burdensome.

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

IN the Course - one Dscaae
81 Agitatien.

Ten years Of agitation has resulted
In q national movement for good
roads, but it is only within three
years that tangible progress has
been made.
Up to that time there had been .
number of state associations. Later
these were made to include q number.
of states, until in 1897 national con-
vention was called at st. Louis.
Twenty-Five states responded to the
call, with over 1900 delegates. 9th
er and larger conventions were held
in 1898, 1899 and $500. Several years
ago President Moore originated the
idea of trips of road instruction.
Last year he took train through
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa. Illinois
and other western states. The tr.in
Travelled over $4,000 miles on the trip,
built 80 miles of model road, held SO
conventions and addressed 100000
people. The trip was paid for with
$4,000 appropriated by congress for
the purpose. Following this trip, the
last national convention was held in
Chicago. Thirty-eight states were
represented.
1t was then determined to secure
an appropriation of $15O,O00 and ar
range a trip which would result in
mile of model road being built in
each state in the union. At the same
time the convention secured the
drafting of good roads plank in
the national platforms.
The association failed to get the
appropriation asked for, but with the
assistance of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson secured $4,000, which was
available for the work since July 1.
After the failure to get the money
President Moore went to New York
and discussed the plan of southern
trip with President Stuyvesant Fish.
of the Illinois Central. He was en-
thusiastic over the plan, and at once
offered to provide the train and pay
q large proportion of the incidental
expenses.
The association intends to push
the good roads work. Congress and
each state will be asked to pass leg
islation favorable to road improve
ment. Good roads are conceded to be
the opening wedge for every other
improvement to follow. One idea adj
vanced is to work the convicts of a
state on its road construction. Over
200 miles of model road could thus
be built each year. Tramps and va
grants are forced to build roads in
Germany and England.
October 20 rs to be Good Roads day
in every state in the union. On that
day instruction in good road building
will be given everywhere, m schools,
through the press, and, if the day is
on Sunday, the pulpit will be asked to
assist the cause of good roads.

Wood ashes give the best results on

SAFE FARM BRIDGES.
rru.. Advancement shown in the

Cannot he Improved.

Where streams or ravines on the
farm must be crossed by teams, it
pays to build substantial bridges; for
the other kind are of short life and
are q constant menace to the safety
of both team and driver. Some
bridges are so short that three stout
"sleepers'' can be thrown across, hav-
ing supports only at the ends, but
where the bridges must be longer, a
support in the middle is imperative.

and for this purpose the truss ar
rangement shown in the accompany

bridge cannot well break down so
long as the end foundations remain in
place. The iron rods and bolts show
plainly the method of construction,
and the manner in which support for
the center is gained. A center sup
port that is placed beneath the bridge
is constantly working loose by the
action of frost and the weight of heavy
loads, a criticism that cannot be APP
piled to the form of bridge shown

which she had looked forward with
such gladness, was married.
From all sides, that night, Mr..
Travers was met with congratulations
on the beauty and brilliance of his

cynicism growing on him, that he
turned from it all as though weary?
For the first time,. glancing
casually in mirror, he discovered
that the thick, brown hair was
streaked with gray, and the sight
hurt him. Why? He neither asked
the question nor answered it.
There was no doubt now of Pansy's

thrown open his hospitable doors, the
world focked there to welcome this
new asrirant to it's honors; but, al
most to his surprise, he found that
he could not remain quietly in the
background, spectator. Women
still smiled upon him, still murmured
sweet nothings in his ear, or uttered
gentle reproaches at his obduracy.

lighted his home. Would he be con.
