New Owosso Boat Works.

For several weeks four young men In the
city, with the occasional assistance of some
of their friends who fingered long enough
to guy them to their entire satisfaction, and
worked just enough to keep them good
natured NJ der the guying, have been at
work on a boat with which they were to sur
prise not only residents along the raging
Shiawassee, but the inhabitants who dwell
about the fats and marshes of st. Charles
as well. The boat was designed along the
lines of an airship except that the hollow
tubes were OF galvanized sheet steel and
somewhat smaller in proportion to the body
or deck of the craft than is generally recog-
nized as the correct thing In the line OF air
ships Ii it would run after it was
finished, 1t might even carry some of its
builders and prOprietors on famous voyage
as far as the straits of the 500 or even over
into Canadian waters where ducks would
have to suffer. But in spite of advice, guy
ing, and much able assistance on the part
of friends, the young men kept at work,
Hclu thtu lCuptis anu ComplCA-
ed the craft and took it 10 the river for its
trial trip. The laugh was then on the other
fellows. 1t not only ran but ran fast and
easily, upstream, across-stream, or any
other way and the boat is now candidate
for further honors in the marshes and
bayous of Saginaw county. Tue boat is
made of fat platform mounted on two
cigar shaped cylinders fourteen inches in
diameter, and fifteen feet in length, and
placed thirty-three inches apart. The run
ming gear consists Of a paddle wheel forty
one inches in diameter, run by chains which
are connected with the running gear of Oh
old tandem bicyce frame built over for the
purpose. Two men can thus run the b Mt
which is guided like bicy Gle by the handle
bars connected to double rudders, one at
the end of each tube. The craft will carry
five or more men aud In still water one man
can easily run it with even that load
at good rate of speed. The owners of the
boat are Merrick Blair, M. Gaylord, w.
V. Robbins, and r. w. Crawford.

A Boys Chance,

NSontheru Farm Magazine of Baltimore
for March.)
Few Southern boys may ever
have chance to work up u butter
trade $15O,OOO a year while they
are at college, Or of their own ex-
ertionS, to meet the pre- eminent
success of Mr.. NYhaley as mill
builders, They will do no harm,
however, in keeping their eyes wide
open for any chance that happens
along. In Southern colleges to-day
more than 100G boys are paying
FOR their education in whole
or i'll part through various
makeshifts, from waiting on the
table, tending the COWS and chop
ping frewOod to assisting profess
sOrs and teaching in vacation. They
are of the same pluck as Bush and
Whaley. They and others should
bear in mind, though, that even
pluck alone will not count. They
should remember that opportunity
by itself counts for naught unless
it betaken and held. The oppor-
tunity of a boys life comes but
once. Wisdom to recognize it and
pluck to seize it insure success.

Interest in Road Building.

1t is gratifying to note the fact
that the great Illinois Central sys.
ten is beginhing to take an active
interest in the problem of dirt
roads, With the object in view of
assisting i'll the effort te secure
good roads in the country the Hi
nois Central, cooperating with the
National Good Roads Association,
will run q special train from New
Orleans to Chicago during the
present NINTH. The train Will car
ry a number of experts and will
stop at Important centers along the
route for the purpose of building
short sections of rOadways as mod
els for the people to adopt in fu-
ture road construction. In The
building mp of this country good
dirt roads are almost as important
as railroads; for the latter are
needed to put the business of the
country in easy and rapid commit
nication with important centers,
the former are needed to place the
local producer i'll touch with the
local markets. The railroads can
only carry off the produce that is
brought to it, and the dirt roads
are depended upon to enable the
farmer to reach the railroads with
his produce. a'
Where the dirt roads are we'll
kept a drive of fOnr or five miles,
or even twice that distance, is bnt
a small! matter. Under such condi,
tons the cost of transporting the
products of the farm to the nearest
railroad station is very light, and
by keeping up the roads the devel.
opment of the outlying country is
accelerated. If communication and
transportation be expedious and
cheap the advantage Of the cheaper
lands ut some distance from the
railroads will be more readily APP
preciated, and productive farms
and happy homes will abound in
many sections that are now lying
wild and untitled. In Louisiana
our settled sections as yet but little
more than fringe the rivers and
bayous and the several railroads
that penetrate the State. Many
fertile acres are wholly neglected,
in so far as cultivation is concerned
and a great portion of this will re'
main so until some systematic plan
of road building shall be adopted
which will enable persons settling
upon these lands to get to markets
with the fruits of their labOrs.
The cost of maintaining gooC
roads would be but a mere baga
telle as compared to the benefits il
would bring, and the money i
would save. Good roads woulC
put in cultivation many thousands
lOf acres of idle lands, and woulC
thereby add lmmeasllraoly 10 th'
productive capacity and to the tax
able values Of the State. The.
would make stores, banks, faccc2
rjes, railroads, newspapers, all,
every other worthy enterprise pa!
better returns, and they would giV'
us more homogeneous and bette
contented population. The ques
tion is one which intimately affect
city as we'll as country, and every
body should take an active interes
in helping to york out the problem

Economy,

Economy should be the watch
word OH the farm this year, be-
cause as o rule corn will have to be
bought from the beginning of the
season. But we do not mean econ
omy in stock feed, this is ton often
the case with all the urging to full
feed. 1t seems irresistible to most
people to "stint" horse feed when
corn has to be bought. This is
false economy and results finally in
loss, causing poor stock. Farm
stock must have full feed just as
man Or they cannot make the, crop
they should. Economy should ap-
ply to general expense, especially
personal. Last years crops were
very spotted in yields. Some peo
pie made more money than usual
while a large proportion lost heavi.
ly. These variations were the re-
suit of difference in land, work and
amount of rain, Few, however,
made much corn, even those who
made good cotton crops, By close
living this year and working. faith
fully those who lost ought to re-
cover last seasons losses, as cotton
viii be a good price, en- account Of
the short supply now in the world.
