A walk from house to barn and
woodshed is a good thing in times
of mud or slush. It should be high
and dry. A chief reason why so few
farmers have these walks is the ex-
pense, and still most farms can pro-
cure material of some sort at little
or no cost. Strips of wood three
inches wide pegged on edge two feet
apart or further, and filled between
with gravel or sawdust. make good
walks. Another useful thing is slabs,
but they must be put together right
The round side of each end must be
hewed fat and two inches thick
These must butt one against another
on thick, fat stone or block OF
wood, or upon a pier of brick. Use
the longest slabs obtainable, IL, II

The profit in growing any crop is
the net sum remaining after all the
expenses of producing it have been
paid. It costs about so much per
acre for blowing, narrowing, culti-
waiting and harvesting, whatever tho
yield; SO the man who succeeds in
producing 100 bushels of corn per
acre surely produces it at a less cost
per bushel than he who only gets so
bushels. And just think what an
amount of cultivation and festiliza-
ton that second so bushels will pay
for. The top bushel is always the
most proftable.-Midland Farms.

Grape for Long Keepfnx.

The Vergennes grape, one Of the
best long keeping varieties, is also
superior in size, quality, beauty and
vigor Of vine. It is one of the va
rieties of best quality, always ripens
perfectly in central Ontario and is
eatable before it is quite ripe or fully
colored. It is an extremely valuable
grape for long keeping and can be
kept in an open basket until mid
winter in a cool, dry room. I have
kept them in perfect condition
packed in sawdust until Easter, for
many years. Color red, berry and

INDIANA ROAD LAWS.
Change. I'm Course of Highways and
Limit Loads Which Are of IN
terest Everywhere.

Two amendments to the highway law
of 1881 have just been passed by the
Indiana legislature, one being the SEN
ate act adding provision that when
a petition shall so provide, the board
of commissioners and the viewers shall
have power and authority to establish
any portion of proposed improve
ment by changing the highway to run
over lands not before used for that pur-
pose, upon the assessment and pay
lnent of damages, and the other the
house amendment providing that it
shall be unlawful for any person to
haul over any turnpike, gravel or mac
adamized road when it is thawing so
as to break through, or by reason of
wet weather is in condition to be cut
up and injured by heavy hauling, load
on any vehicle with tires "of less than
three inches," the combined weight
of which load and vehicle shall be more
than 5000 pounds, or to haul load
which, with the vehicle, weighs more
than $500 pounds, on any vehicle with
tires of three inches and less than
1OuA 1ACACS III W1Qtu. VI 1ldIc Ulldu 4,OOO
pounds where the vehicle has tires that
are four inches and less than five
inches in width, or more than 1850
pounds where the vehicle has tires five
inches or more in width. Violations of
the act are to be punished by fine of
not less than five dollars nor more than
$50 for each load so hauled.
The question what should be con-
sidered load of more than $500
pounds under the law, before it was
amended, was raised in recent case
where driver for the Standard Oil
company was arrested on charge of
hauling an excessive load, and he took
the ground that his wagon and tank
constituted his vehicle and his load
was only the oil which the tank con-
tanned and weighed less than-a ton, al
though his wheels had cut through a
gravel road and stalled his three
horses.

SENATOR CLARK.

The return of Hon. W. A. Clark, OF
Montana, to the United States senate
is in the nature of vindication, says
the Springfield Mail. Whatever may
be the opinion of the general public
as to the methods employed in Clark IS
behalf in opposition to the DAILY ele-
ment in Montana politics. the result
of the recent election so far as it
affects him is gratifying. The Great

Clark. rejoices over his political vim

MERIToRIoUs PRoMorION. THIS.

Col. Campbell has been promoted
from lieutenant colonel of the 30th
volunteer regiment to be brigadier
general. This, according to Wash
ington dispatch. is the direct result of
the ex-congressman' s. political shrewd-
ness. He was the one volunteer Off
Ger in the Philippine service who was
| clever enough to foresee how much
credit he could earn for himself by
securing leave of absence and COM
| ing to the United States and stump
ing the districts of Egypt" in be-
half of the Mckinley ADMINISTRATION.
From the day Col. Campbell landed
in San Francisco until after the election
returns had shown that President Nc
Kinley was reelected he posed as a
living, breathing example of the bene
fits that could accrue TO a soldier of
the republic fighting to subdue the
savage Tagal. When Col. Campbell
poses he cuts figure that is bound
to attract great deal of attention.
Physically he is a giant, a soldier In
appearance and very handsome. His
most striking characteristic, however,
is his extreme FEASIBILITY, which is
emphasized by a voice and manner as
gentle as woman's.
When the colonel met newspaper
reporters and correspondents during
his stay in the United States last fall
or when he faced audiences in Egypt
or Ohio or other states he visited and
told them that Aguinaldo was pre-
pared to abandon the fight for liberty
as soon as he was assured that Bryan
would not be elected, he made every
body believe him. Then, too, the fact
that he was democrat, or rather had
been democrat; that he had been q
leader of democratic minorities and
majorities in the Illinois legislature
for 20 years; that he had been a pow
erful and controlling factor in demo-
cratic state committees and that for
years he was one of the ablest of Will
liam r. Morrison's lieutenants in
southern Illinois. added emphasis and
candor to his statements about the
Philippine islands. He certainly made
a deep impression on the president.
This is shown by his promotion. He
will not have long to serve if the
present army bill is passed. but he
will come home "Gen. Campbell. ;"
and that will be enough glory for him.

other side of Clark,s character. which
irrespective Of what may be thought
of his attitude relative to the sena-
torial appointment The Great Falls
paper says the result of the election
furnishes conclusive evidence of Mr..
Clark's hold upon the esteem and
confidence of the people of Montana.
This is largely due to his brcad-guage
and public-spirited policy as q BUSH

turing enterprises, singly and alone,

says the Tribune, ''whose principal
occupation is the piling up of securi-
ties in strong boxes and the clipping
OF coupons, Senator Clark devotes his
money to the establishment of great
industries in all parts of the land-in
which employment is given to large
forces of men at always remunerative
wages. Wherever his enterprises are
esta blished, even in the recesses of
the mountains, he never fails to pro-
vide for his employees the advantages
of excellent schools, of libraries, of
churches and places of amusement
and recreation. His timely sugges-

impoverished blood is sure sign of

We want all of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is a
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
It contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized eod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their tunc-
tioslS.
Vinors effect on the stomach is mar
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body, and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements tn
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of a letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
