al-Road Machines.
There is no question that so vexes
the minds of the executive officers Of
our country towns as that Of how to
best care for the public roads, says c..
Z. Augur of Connecticut in New Eng
land Homestead. They know that only
certain amount of money will be APP
propriated for the purpose, and they
are well aware that they will be held
TO strict account for its expenditure
Except in few instances, where iso-
lated patches of improved roads are
laid down with the help of the state
appropriation the work is very imper-
fectly done, and the material used is
worthless for the purpose Often the
men In charge of road repairs know
that the slipshod methods employed
are poor economy, but the fear of adj
verse criticism, perhaps loss of office,

A VILLAGE HIGHWAY.

OF last year causes them to do that
Which makes a show of repairing hnt
which in the end leaves the roads in
worse condition than before repairs
were attempted.
My idea of what should be done is to
elect at the annual town meeting on al
terhate years a road supervisor whose
term OF Office shall be for two wears
unless sooner terminated. Give him
the entire charge Of the roads. bridges
ana slulces and pay him liberal per
uielh LOT tllhe necessarily expended.
The hrst duty of the supervisor
should be TO appoint a resident road
guardian for each section of road such
section not to exceed three miles in
extent. The duty of this road guardian
shall be not TO repair damage but TO
prevent 1t. He should inspect the road
under his charge frequently, especially
during heavy rains, and see that gut-
ters and sluices are kept open and wa
ter bars unbroken. Often ten minutes
work with hoe or shovel at the RIGHT
moment will save ten hours work with
teams and men. l have recently driy-

right time cOUld nave saved the roads
In the event of any unusual damage
the guardian should report promptly
to his superior
The material usually used in repair
ing country roads is road wash or turf
that has grown upon it and is in no
sense suitable. The worn pebbles have
no power of coherency. They will not
bind, and the organic matter of turf
Is productive only Of mud or dust
There is no road so pleasant to ride
upon as we'll made, well drained, well
graded dirt road. Once settled into
place it will last i'll good condition for
years If frequently looked after. On
heavy soils 1t will, of course, be muddy
when the frost is coming out, but that
Is only for short period, and the pleas
ure of riding on it free from noise and
dust at other seasons compensates for
a good deal of springtime annoyance.
1t is not practicable to harden all
country roads, and If the road is well
drained and the cutters and sluices
kept open it is not desirable A clat-
tering stone road takes away much of
the charm of q country drive, to say
nothing Of the annoyance to dwellers
thereon. Sometimes, if gravel is readily
available, it is economy to surface a
damp dirt road with q four inch coat.
This will keep all light vehicles out Of
the mud, even in springtime, and I'M
less very heavy teams pass over it will
last for years. Wet places that cannot
be successfully drained should be filled
with telford pavement and from six
to eight inches of gravel placed over r.
All cutters and sluices should be
large enough to take the rainfall at it's
greatest excess, and the failure to have
them so is a frequent source of dam
age and consequent expense. To SUED
Marie, put your roads into the best
condition possible with the means avail
able and then give them constant at
tention rather than neglect them for
IL months and repair them in one
When you have them in good condition.
eXpend your efforts upon keeping the
cutters and sluices open and leave the
road itself alone as much as possible.
An old, hard roadbed is better than any
new, soft one that can be made with
earth in any case, and it is far more
desirable tha1 the usual agglomeration
or road wash leaves and turf.

POisoning--A Sprain Reduced.

PO1SOhing-A Sprain Reduced.
A popularity of poisoning by ivy,
dOgWOod or sumach is that a cure
which will be of avail to one patient
will give no relief to another. Country
people who live in districts where poi
sonous plants luxuriate keep ready all
sorts Of simple home remedies, and if
one does not help another will.
Carbonate Of soda dissolved In hot
water, making very strong solution
will frequently cure at once If it can
be applied at the very earliest symptom
Of poisoning. Salt in hot water will
sometimes relieve when soda does not
Other simple country cures are q strong
I've made from wood ashes, sassafras
tea, made as strong as possible, and

A doctors remedy is a solution OF
sugar Of lead mixed with opium in
equal quantities. Water as hot as can
be borne affords relief from the terri
BILE itching
Poison ivy is easily recognized by it's
triple leaf. Some people are SO suscep-
tible to it that merely passing In it's
vicinity is sufficient TO bring out the ir-
ritating blotches.
Washing the exposed parts Of the
body Immediately after coming in CON
tact with it will often prevent unpleas-
ant results. Care should be taken new
er to wipe the hands or. face after ex-
posture on a towel another Is likely to
use, for, though you may not be poi
soned yourself, another may become
frightfully so.
A lad sprained his ankle at a noun
tain camp when a doctor was not with
In ten miles. A hospital nurse was the
next best person. Somebody brought
her from an adjacent camp In half an
hour. She ordered plenty of hot water,
a kettleful kept constantly at the boil
till she said stop.
The patient was stretched on
lounge and his mother held the injured
foot In her hand. The nurse mounted
a stool near by and from the height
Of three or four feet poured hot water,
a steady, slow, steaming trickle con-
stantly falling on the injured ankle.
Before one pitcher was empty an
other was ready to be put in her hand.
In one hour the swelling had subsidized,
the pain was gone and the hurt ankle
was in a baAdage. Three days later
the lad was on his feet.-Good House
