INDIANA ROAD LAWS.
Changes I'm Course of Highways ana
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 h sem
ate act adding a 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 a proposed improve
ment by changing the highway to run
over lands not before used for that pur-
pose, upon the assessment and pay
ment of damages, n 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 50
as to break through, or by reason of
wet weather is in condition to be cut
up and injured by heavy hauling, a 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 a load
which, with the vehicle, weighs more
than 3,700 pounds, on any vehicle with
tires of three inches and less than
four inches in width, or mare than 1000
pounds where the vehicle has tires that
are four inches and less than five
inches in width, or more than 4,50O
pounds where the vehicle has tires five
inches or more in width. Violations of
the act are to be punished by a fine of
not less than five dollars nor more than
$50 for each load so hauled.
The question what should be con-
sidered a load of more than $500
pounds under the law, before it was
amended, was raised in a recent Ease
where a driver for the Standard Oil
company was arrested on a 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.

sra.. Seed for a Cemetery.

No grasses excel Kentucky blue
grass and red-top either in beauty or
utility for the purpose named. The
seeds may be mixed in equal proper
tions, and so to 100 pounds of the
mixture should be sown to an acre
of well-prepared and enriched soil. A
pound of wee vernal grass may be
added for the sake of the pleasant
odor. This is rather heavy seeding,
as the above grasses only weigh
about IA pounds to the measured
bushel, but the result will be better,
and far more permanent than If a
smaller quantity is used. Six or eight
pounds of white clover per acr may
well be sown separately. 1t is very
useful for covering vacancies and
supplying nitrogen to the grass roots
as time goes on.-Rural New Yorker.

The method of constructing high
ways as employed by the Massachu-
sets state highway commission will
be exempliied at the Pan-American
exposition. John McClintock, a civil
engineer of Boston, has secured a
concession of 1000 square feet, To-
Gated near the central power station.
The highway commission has also en-
tered into the plan and has agreed
to send over an expert to superin-
tend the construction of a section OF
model highway. 1t is proposed to
have a small municipal bodybuilding
plant in operation to demonstrate to
visitors from the central and far
west what can be done with rough
country roads under the Massachu-

The Man and the Farm.

How any farm should De cropped
depends upon where the farm is, its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, because
they are not adapted to cultivation;
other farms invite tillase. Size, too,
is a controlling factor. A crop rota-
ton and schedule of farm work that
is admirable for so acres may be
wholly impracticable for 500 or 1000.
All of these and many other circum-
stances and conditions need to be
carefully considered by each farmer
who desires to make the very best
possible use of his land. Another and
the most potent factor of all is the
man himself. The man makes the
farm good or bad, as the man makes
almost everything else that comes
under his control.-Jersey Bulletin.

ABOUT BITTER MILK.
Gasudicfous or Poor Feeding or Dis.
eaxed Condition of the Udder
Responsible for 1t.

The psychologists, some of them
at least, say a bacterial organism gets
in the milk during milking, which
there multiplies SO rapidly as to soon
make the milk bitter, writes DR..
Smead. in the National Stockmsan.
Well, that may be true sometimes, but
more times it is not true in my ex-
~perience. Some cows long in %lactation
will produce a bitter, nauseous milk
by reason of a natural change going
on in their own system. OF this L am
fully convinced, and have so expressed
myself in a previous article. In other
cases, a COW badly fed will give bit
ter milk, or a diseased condition OF the
Idder will do the same. The latter we
can easily find out by simply milking
each teat separately, and thus find
which quarter is producing this kind
of milk, as it is are indeed that each
quarter is ailing. Not SO when h
cows liver or digestion is deranged.
Then all the teats will furnish bitter
milk. The same is true when the
length of lactation is the cause.
Tt is, therefore, important to know
about these things before prescribing.
The COW whose habit is to give bitter
milk when five, six or seven months in
lactation had better be dried off n
sold for beef. The n whose liver
or digestion is off should have a pound
of EPSON salts given as a physlc N
two drains of powdered h~yposulphite
of soda morning and night until the
trouble ceases. If bad, moldy food IS
the cause, correct that by a better
class of food. If, as the bacteriologisI
says, she is carrying around on her
carcass a lot of 1ilth-laden germs,
ready to drop in the milk, go at her
with soap and water, curry comb and
brush, backed up.with plenty of elbow
grease, and scrub of the old cow and
make her clean. Then clean the sta

BUILDING DRY WALKS.
It lis Quite Expensive to Build Them,
But, when Properly Constructed,
They VIII Last

A walk from house to barn and
woodshed is a good thing in times
of mud or sIush. 1t 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 filed 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 fiat and two inches thick.
These must butt one against another
on a thick, fiat stone or block OF
wood, or upon a pier of brick. Use
the longest slabs o~btainable, II, 10
or even o feet. Between the fat

Awoman is sick-some disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi-
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceas
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystfes
the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very en-
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is the reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in cOrre-
spOndence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman shaving the
result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
manner without the consent in writing of the patient but
hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that this be done in order that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience.

that the proclamation was so vague that

the bank.
At a late hour this afternoon the New
Jersey Title Guarantee and Trust Com

simply adopt the usual procedure and

President John D. Carscallen of the
Third National Bank said that as it

remain open on Thursday for the pay

closed in memory of the late president,

wording of the Governors proclamation
there seemed TO be no alternative.

whether to close or not.

LuNATIC At LARGE.
Friend of Chief Murphy
Meets Man Who Wants
to Kill Roosevelt.

Last Saturday afternoon a friend of
Chief Murphy, whose name the Chief de-
clines to divulge, called at Police Head
quarters and told him that an anarchist,
lunatic or crank was on his way to Buffa-
10 to kill President Roosevelt. While the
Chiefs informant was walking along
Montgomery street man with wild look
ing eyes approached him and in broken
English inquired his way to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station. He showed
ticket over the Pennsylvania road to
Buffalo and then volunteered the infor-
nation that he was going to Buffalo to
kill President Roosevelt.
'How are you going to kill him?'' was
asked.
have new revolver"
Thereupon the man drew back the front
of his coat and showed a new revolver in
box. Then he started toward the ferry.
The Chiefs friend was very much ex>
cited. His first thought was that the
man should be arrested, and his second
that here was good chance to do Chief
Murphy personal favor. Then, though
a policeman stood within seventy-five feet
of the spot where he and the would-be-
slayer of President Roosevelt talked, the
friend hastened to Police Headquarters
to tell the Chief personally. AS soon as
the Chief had the details and a descrip
ton of the man with the revolver he
hustled a dozen men to the railroad sta
ton and to the neighborhood in which
the man had been last seen, but all ef-
forts to find him failed.
Then the Chief did the next best thing,
sent lengthy kilograms to Chief of Police
Bull of Buffalo and to Chief of Police
Sylvester of washington, d. C. In these
kilograms the Chief told of the mans
threat and described him as follows
Five feet, six and one-half inches
tall, stocky build, poorly dressed wild
eyes long black hair, long black
moustache streaked with gray. about
forty-five years old, apparently crazy
or a crank.
Detective Michael Doyle was given a
detailed description of the man and sent
to Washington, D. G., where he still is,
and will remain until the present excite
ment is over.
1t could rot be learned at the railroad
station whether the man had gone TO
Buffalo or Washington or anywhere.
Chief Murphy, in speaking of the case
this morning, said
s'The man was evidently crazy or a
crank. / do not believe he is an Anar-
that had known of this matter public
until the man was arrested. The telegram
sent to Washington or to Buffalo must
have been made public. OF course we.
hope to catch the man but as yet W.
have no trace of him.
