WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.
Considerable Has Been AccompIished
An the Course of One Decade
of Agitation.

Ten years ot agitation has resulted
| in national movement for good
roads, but it is only within three
| years that tangible progress has
| been made.
| Up to that time there had been q
number of state associations. Later
| these were made to include a mum be r
of states, until in 1897 national con-
vention was called at st. Louis.
| Twenty-Five states responded to the
call, with over 2,200 delegates. 9th
er and larger conventions were held
| in 1898, 1899 and 1900. Several years
ago President Moore originated the
| idea of trips of road instruction.
Last year he took a train through
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois
and other western states. The train
| Travelled over $4,000 miles on the trip,
| built 80 miles of model road, held 38
conventions and addressed 100000
| people. The trip was paid for with
$4,000 appropriated by congress for
the purpose. Following this trip, the
last national convention was held in
Chicago. Thirty-eight states were
represented.
1t was then determined to secure
an appropriation of $150,o0o and ar
range trip which would result in a
mile of model road being built in
each state in the union. At the same
time the convention secured the
drafting of a good roads plank in
the national platforms.
The association failed to get the
appropria tion asked for, but with the
assistance of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson secured $4,000, which was
availa BILE for the work since July l.
After the failure to get the money
President Moore went to New York
trip with President Stuyvesant Fish,
of the Illinois Central. He was en-
thusiastic over the plan, and at once
offered to provide the train and pay
large proportion of the incidental
expenses.
The association intends t. push
the good roads work. Congress and
each state will be asked to pass leg
islation favorable to road improve
ment. Good roads are conceded to be
the opening wedge for every other
improvement to follow. One idea adj
vanced is to work the convicts of
state on its road construction. Over
200 miles of model road could thus
be built each year. Tramps and va
grants are forced to build roads in
Germany and England.
October 20 is to be Good Roads day
in every state in the union. On that
day instruction in good road building
will be given everywhere, N schools,
through the press, and, if the day is
on Sunday, the pulpit will be asked 20
assist the cause of good roads.

Keeping Roads in Condition

Fred Grundy, in Farm and Fireside,
tells us he has been watching road
keeper" care for ten miles of black
earth road, and he has kept it in
good condition, not by macadamizing
it or by covering it with crushed
stone, but by providing good drain
age, by tile in most places, to take
the water off, and by digging out
some of the worst places about IS
inches deep and filing with broken
brick, tile, coal, cinders or whatever
will make a firm foundation, and al
low water to drain through. Then if
the roads are rounded up to allow
the water to run off and they get
q little attention after every ram,
they are easily kept in good condi-
ton. The results are much better
and the cost much less than they
were for the annual turnout of the
district to mend, or often to make
worse the roads, the job being ex-
peGted then to be done until the same
season comes around another year.

FARM MARKETING WAGON.
IN Indispensable Where Garden and
Dairy Products Are Sold Directly
tc the Consumer.

Hundreds and hundreds of our most
successful farmers find the most
profitable method of disposing of the
FARMS products to be selling them at
hrst hand to consumers, direct from
the farm wagon. Where there is a
city or numerous villages within
easy driving distance there can be
nc doubt that this plan is eminently
wise. 1t enables one to market his
crops when they are at their best,
thus affording a chance to get best
prices, while it saves to the farm the
naiddleman's profit. In following this
plan of selling crops it is cf great
importance that the market wagon
he well suited to the business. If the

Fertilizers for Melons.

Growers of melons claim that if the
manure is put in rows or broadcast
ed it will be better than using it in
hills, as the cause of the vines dying
around the main stem, although the
branches may appear healthy for a
short time later, is the use of fresh
manure in the hill. In the rows or
hills the coarse litter is said to be
better than fresh manure. Lime is
not beneficial to watermelons, but
does 10 harm to muskmelons. Fer
tilizers give excellent results with
melons, and they should be broadcast
ed and well worked into the soil.

or no labor. Satisfy, or vegetable oys-
ter, which is seeded in the fall, and
the various peppers and garnishing
plants, will occupy but little space.
Even the peanut will prove ornamen-
tai and worthy of place. 1t should
have little lime scattered over the
rows, which will assist it to fill out.
Even the eggplant is absent in some
gardens.

SUBSTANTIAL FARM BRIDGE.

and for this purpose the truss ar
rangement shown in the accompany
ing diagram cannot be improved. Such
a bridge cannot well break down so
long as the end foundations remain in
place. The iron rods and bolts show
plainly the method of construction,
and the manner in which support for
the center is gained. A center sup
port that is placed beneath the bridge
is constantly working loose by the
action of frost and theweight of heavy
loads, a criticism that cannot be APP
piled to the form of bridge shown

The Old Strawberry Bed.

A Maryland strawberry grower
says: My way of handling old straw
berry rows, which / wish to keep for
another year is as follows: AS soon
as they are done bearing I NOW off
the tops as close as possible, and
then arrr!!y well-rotted manure, bone
meal, if | have it, and wood ashes.
This is applied when the weather is
damp. After moving l burn the
stalks and leaves. 1t is now easy to
remove all weeds and cultivate close
to the plants. This is the time to pile
on the fertilizer. Plants then start
out new growth and make fine
bed by fall, when 1 cover them with
straw after the ground freezes.

SET PREcEDENTS AT NAuGHT.
business Women Refuse TO he Cow
erned by Axioms and Customs OF

A critic of the new woman-the
woman in business-declares that
one-half of the members of the class
indorse their checks on the wrong
end. Some of them, he says, are
just as fatally ignorant of laws that
the most ignorant man knows as
are their sisters who are tenderly
kept from contact with this wicked
world, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The business woman denies this
and pronounceS such stories as that
one going the rounds of the press
about the girl who drew a check on
certain bank to cover the amount
that her account was oyerdrawn in
that bank the most preposterous of
fakes. 1t is nevertheless true that a
stamp very rarely accompanies the
cneck with which a woman pays a
bill; that she is invariably surprised
that she has to put one on an ex-
press package and not little indig-
nant at the government for putting
her to this trouble and expense.
1t is related of one young woman
who considers herself quite a person
of affairs that when called upon to
register at a hotel on "a certain occa-
sion she wrote herself down in big
black letters as Miss PUSSY" Brown,
that being her pet home name. And
she moreover invariably hid the key
of her room under the carpet in the
corridor when she went out, instead
of taking it to the office, as the aver
age individual does.
Another woman, this one with a
bank account, is strangely averse to
paving by check but will travel all

SAFE FARM BRIDGES.
Picture Assures Structure That
Cannot lie Improved.

Where streams or ravines on the
farm must be crossed by teams, it
pays to build substantial bridges; for
the other kind are of short life and
are a constant menace to the safety
of both team and driver. Some
bridges are so short that three stout
"sleepers" can be thrown across, hav-
ing supports only at the ends, but
where the bridges must be longer, a
support in the middle is imperative,

Trees Restore Fertility

Many of the wornout farms of the
east may be restored to fertility by
growing forest trees upon them for
a series of years, and many of them
are better suited for the production
of timber than for any other pur-
pose. 1t is fortunately true that
worn-out farm lands throughout the
region once wooded will usually re-
vert to their previous condition if
protected from fire and stock The
process is naturally slow, and ..e re-
suit may be materially rSstened and
more va;uabl for"s- may be grown
by the judieiauz planting If useful

Liederkranz Hall Was Crowded
Nightly by Friends of
the Orphans.
Sum Realized Reaches Away
Up Into the Thousands
of Dollars.
SOME OF TIE MANY PRIZE WINNERS

The greatest bazar ever held in Louis
vile came to close Thursday night at
Liederkranz Hall, and the clergymer
and ladies and gentlemen of the city who
have labored SO assiduously for its sue
cess during the past three months may
well feel proud over their work. The
results are indeed gratifying to Catholics
and charitable people generally. Since
the opening on Monday, October 81, the
hall has nightly presented an animated
and brilliant scene, being always
thronged with people who were DESTROYS
of contributing their share to the noble
undertaking.
The spirited but always friendly rivalry
that has existed between the twenty -one
parishes in this endeavor to provide
suitable and comfortable home for the
fatherless orphans is now over, and the
enjoyable meetings and exciting incl
dents connected Herewith will long
remain pleasant memories. The sum
realized has far exceeded the original
expectations, though the exact amount is
not yet known. President Edward ].
o 'Brien's prediction that it would be the
most successful bazar in TIL. history of
Louisville has been fully verified, both
socially and financially.
While thousands visited the bazar dur
ing the ten days there were hundreds
unable to attend who it is presumed are
willing to assist in providing a home for
the orphans, and this they can yet do by
calling upon any of the pastors of the
various churches. In last weeks report
of the bazaar the names of some of the
Jealous and successful workers were
then and are still unknown to the writer.
Among those thus omitted was the name
of Mrs. John Gray, of West Chestnut
street, aud her assistants. whose efforts
were only equaled by the brave spirit
that missed no opportunity OF filling
books with names upon the magnificent
rug donated by Hubbuch Brothers. Her
work was an important factor and con-
tributed much toward swelling the re-
ceipts. The handsome chair donated by
George Lawless to the ladies' of the
Sacred Heart church. for their booth was
another money-maker, as was also the
large and beautiful doll donated by the
