Prl.es for Road Mender..

In some English counties prizes are
offered for the section of road which
is kept in the best order throughout
the year. There is an honora BILE rival
~ among the roadmasters for obtain
ing these rewards, and the winners are
proud of their distinction as champion
road members. When all the roads are
preeminent for their excellence, it can
not be an easy matter for the most
critical committee to make the awards.
but the effect of the competition is to
put every man on his mettle and to
increase the efficiency of the road serv-
ice. How different are these methods
and processes from those which pre-
vail in rural America, where highway
commissioners draw their salaries and
setgangs of laborers at work few days
before election or where farmers in the
autumn, when there is nothing else
to do, unite in weeks voluntary serv-
ice as road MEMBERS

THE ASPARAGUS BED.
Well Drained, Spring Planting
Ii to He Alvlsel.

Asparagus roots may be planted in
spring or fall, but unless the ground
is we'll drained, spring is preferable.
Good strong one-year-old roots are
best. The soil should be made as
rich as possible. If very stony the
stones should be removed, as they
are much in the way of cutting the
stalks. In garden culture it is best
to dig trenches about three or four
feet apart ana IL inches deep;
then put in a layer of manure to fill
about half of the trench after it has
been packed down. On this put two
or three inches of soil on which place
the roots, spreading them out in all
directions, and cover with fine soil,
packing down all around. The plants
should not stand closer than two
feet in the rows, and as they start to
grow more soil should be drawn into
the trenches until the surface is level
again. All that is necessary during
the season is to keep the ground loose
and free from weeds. TO raise first
class crop the bed has to be MANFRED
every year by scattering manure over
the plants in the fall. If white or
blanched asparagus is desired, the
roots have to be set deeper and the
rows have to be hilled up similar to
what is done with celery.-Barnum's
Midland Farmer.

QUEER LOSSES OF WOMEN.
Singular and Inexplicable Misfor.
tunes That Sometimes BefalA
Careless Fair Ones

A party of women out in Hutchln'
son, Kan, were recently discussing
the mishaps that had befallen them
in the loss of valua bles, and three sto-
ries were related that were decidedly
out of the ordinary. In the town
there is a bathing pool which last
summer was literally patronized by
the ladies, says an exchange OF that
town. Around the pool are num-
Der of dressing rooms, and in one Of
these two ladies prepared themselves
for swim, one going into the water
before the other had disrobed. AS
the second lady was about to leave
the dressing-room she discovered her
companions pocketbook lying on
bench, and forthwith she reproached
her friend for her carelessness. A lit
tie later the first lady went into the
dressing room, and lying by the side
Of her friends clothes she found
sack of diamonds, such as rings, pins
and brooches, whereupon, in turn,
she upbraided her friend for worse
piece of carelessness than the affair
of the pocketbook. "But I have no
diamonds" said the first lady, in as
constituent, and almost at once there
was great hue and cry from dress
ing room at the farther end of the
row, from which woman soon made
her appearance, claiming to have been
robbed. 1t was found by some mys-
FERROUS means the diamonds had been
transferred from one dressing room
to another. All three of the ladies
are prominent and above suspicion.
No one entered either of the rooms
except their rightful occupants. No
one else was at the pool. Neither
could have entered room without
being seen by the others.
And the relation of this story
brought out an even more mysterious
one. There had been some burglars
in town, and one night prominent
gentleman warned his wife that she
had better hide very valuable dia-
mond which she owned. Acting on
this advice, the lady pinned the dia-
mond to the inner side of her night
robe and went to bed. In the morn
ing the diamond IVES gone, and since
then no trace of it has been found. It
was impossible for burglars to have
entered the room without leaving a
trace. The husband is such good
man, so rich and so fond of his wife
that he cannot be connected with the
disappearance. The only possible So
luton seems to be that the woman.
nervous over the fear of burglars, had
hidden the jewel while in a state OF
somnambulism so carefully that it
cannot be found.
The third story was odd, rather
than mysterious. A woman had hung
diamond ring on a nail in her kitch-
en- while engaged in some household
task. It disappeared, and no amount
of search availed to reveal it's where
abouts. The hired girl said she had
burned up lot of sweepings, and the
ashes from the stove were thoroughly
sifted. At last the girl remembered
box of wet sawdust which would not
burn, and which she had emptied be-
hind the house. Afterward this saw
dust had been shoveled to another
part of the yard around the roots of
a tree. The woman went down on
her hands and knees and paved over
the heap, and was rewarded by re-
covering her diamond.

WINTER BELLS.

When Winter wraps the world in white,
And silent lie the snowy dells,
IT'S sweet to hear amid the night
The cadence Of the fairy bells;
They seem to set the winds astir
With eerie music soft and low,
And gently shake the modest fir
Clad in its garb Of spotless snow.
They tinEle meath the watchful stars,
Whose beams upon the whiteness fall,
And as they near the meadow bars
What recollections they recall!
The trysting tree which Summer knows
And clothes in hues of living green,
Stands out against the sky and throws
Its lordly shadow DER the scene.
o Winter bells that tell Of mirth!
Thy music fills the heart with JOY
And makes paradise of earth
A lovers year without alloy;
Across the fields there seems to come
The music which of pleasure tells,
And every hearth and every home
Rejoices at the winter bells.
I hear them echo where the snow
Lies softly on the frozen ground,
And where December s winds are low
list to catch their merry sound;
A maiden at the lattice waits,
For swiftly through the moonlit dells,
Toward her hearts wide-open gates.
A lover rides behind the bells.

Rur., Free Mail Delivery.

One of the phenomenal successes in
the development of our postal system
has been the extension of rural free
delivery. This was begun two or three
years ago, with an appropriation of
perhaps 100000. 1t has been extended
by degrees and with good judgment,
and wherever it has reached. if reports
are to be credited, it has been very
considerable success. The postmaster
general now estimates that the system
can be extended over such parts of the
country as may use it to advantage at
an approximate cost of $40. 900, and
he urges all kinds of reasonable econ
omy in the administration of postal
affairs in order to be able to ask for
fuller appropriations in this direction.
The estimate for maintaining free de-
livery in the next year on plans already
formed is placed at $3,5OO,OOO.

West Virginia Farmer Describes q

A reader in West Virginia tells me
how he raises his potato-onions, al
follows: II cover my ground with
good stable manure, then plow this
under, and make the surface as fine
as possible by narrowing. Then I
lay off the rows about IS inches apart.
and set the onions in the rows about
six or seven inches apart, and cover
about six inches deep. put the
large onions by themselves, and the
sets by themselves. The former
make sets to be planted out another
fall, while the sets make the large
onions for spring sales. I have early
onions in spring, and what is left over
I pull in July, to keep over for fall
planting. I do not leave them out
in the sun after pulling, but cure I'm.

It makes you sick at heart and sick
at stomach, too, when a fellow ex-
plodes over a poker joke, and, though

the Involuntary yearning in the laugh

NEW IDEA FOR A SILO.

stave silo with slaves six inches
wide and 21s inches thick. Pine, bev-
eled to the circle, grooved and
tongued, is put together with white
lead, making each joint air tight,
ends of slaves being Joined with a
heavy piece of galvanized iron. The
foundation is similar to any barn wall,
only the wall projection is outside
the silo, permitting an even, perpen-
dicular wall on the inside. The top
of the wall is so inclined that water
cannot stand upon it. The inside of
the wall and bottom of silo are ce-
mented, the center being about six
inches lower than the side; a BASIN
shaped bottom. The roof should be
symmetrical, with wide cornice pro-
jections, and, if possible, SO adjoining
the barn as to give it fine architec-
tural appearance. Two coats of paint
and a weather vane complete the ex-
IeT1ldi CONSTRUCTION.
The cut shows some conveniences
not always found. Some trouble has
arisen in connection with solid iron
rods, lacking fexibility; silo expan-
sion and cold. weather have caused
them to break. The Page wire fence
has been used to some extent, and has
the advantage OF overcoming to a de-
gree this difficulty, but other objec-
lions seem to offset it, so that it has
not come into general use. In casting
about for a medium that would COM
bine the good qualities of both the
steel wire cable seemed to fill the bill.
The strength of one-half-inch wire
rope is given as one-third greater
than fve-eighths-inch solid iron, and
at the same time possesses the fex-
ibility so much needed. The system
of fastening is the ordinary twin
buckle; other means, however, may
be equally as good. The system of
doors has always been difficult one
to solve. The continuous door is the
only satisfactory one, yet the patent
doors that I have seen are open to
many objections not necessary to
enumerate here. My idea was to get
q door that should be continuous,
hung on the outside, firmly held and
always ready to use. This we secured
by alternating the doors with two
slaves between them uncut. The
heavy iron cleats formed to the cir
Gle serve also as hinges. They are
bolted to a similar iron on the inside,
countersunk in the door and slaves.
These doors are fastened with refrig-
erator-door fasteners, two on the low
er doors and one on the doors nearer
the top, holding the doors absolutely
to their place. The dormer window in
the roof furnishes sufficient light and
a place to fill. We have, therefore,
combined durability, effectiveness and
convenience.-H. E. Cook, in Rural
New Yorker.

which necessitated an hours CONSUL

had decided that it was not their

Preventing Potato scab,

Potato scab can be prevented by the
use of corrosive sublimate or of for
malin on the seed potatoes. In tests
made this year at the Vermont ex-
pertinent station the potatoes treated
with corrosive sublimate showed less
than four per cent. of the crop scab-
by, and those treated with formalin
showed nine per cent. scabby. In the
same soil and from the same seed, I'M
treated potatoes came out with Al
per cent. scabbed. An increase of 81
per cent. in the measure of first-class
potatoes ought to oe worth any hams
tiIoe.
