BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
Why the Farmers In the East Find Thei
Business Improbable.

Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.
A highly important feature Of the
highways question is the effect good or
bad roads have upon the local markets
and their sources of supply, says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities and
large towns of the state there IS de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as hay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do SO az
far as possible; in most cases it does not.
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned % not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility of getting profitable prices
for their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and so farming here no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret Of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market. The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that are so billy and
rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load for a horse to draw at slow
footpace.
1t is not that farms in the east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices. 1t
is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are 30 bad as to make ship
ment unp1oftable. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to the
cities and towns would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and cheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good times for all con-
csrned.

HOW to Make Wine Whey.

One pint of milk heated to 100 de-
grees F., one teaspoonful Of prepared
rennet and two tablespoonfuls Of wine.
Stir the rennet and the wine into the
milk quickly, so that the wine may not
curdIe the milk in blotches. Let 1t
stand in a warm place ION the stove
hearth, for instance) for half an hour,
then separate the curd from the whey
by straining. The whey Is excellent
for children with delicate digestion
who need little stimulant 1t is very
good also as drink for :nvalids at
any time.

A Muddy Road.

One day this week, as teamster waa
slowly working his way through the
quagmire commonly known as coun-
ty road between the Cummings hill
and Fossil, be espied hat in one
of the ruts in front of him. As the
headgear appeared to be in fairly good
condition he dismounted to pick it up.
As he raised the hat he was astonished
to hear a voice coming from under it
exclaim: "Hold onl That's my hat"
As soon as be had gathered his breath
and wits the teamster asked, "What are
you doing down there?" Which brought
forth the reply: "I'm in big luck to be
where am. There's horse underneath
me. Fossil (Or. Journal.

Worth Remembering.

The community with the best roads
is very likely to be the best community.
A narrow tire will dig rut, but a
good broad tire will roll it shut.
The depth Of road is more to be
dreaded than its length.
The state Of the road tells the size OF
the load.

TWo Blind chanlaina.

Across the broad plaza in front
OF the capitol yesterday walked two
blind men. They we're the chap
lains of the House and Senate.
These two blind men are among
the most picturesque personalities
in Congress. Rev. DIR. Milburn,
with his long gray whiskers and
his black SLOUGH hat is a familiar
figure. He walks upon the arm OF
his daughter, gently feeling his
way with his cane and is always in
his appointed place at the hour of
noon, no matter whether it rams or
SHOWS or blows. His prayers are
models Of exquisitiye expression,
and are uttered in a deep, musical,
Impressive voice. The new spapers
are read to him every morning be-
fore he goes to the capitol, 50 if
there is any great event which
needs to be mentioned IN his prayers
it is not overlooked. After prayer
he is led around the chamber and
shakes with the Senators. Despite
his lack Of sight, he is a man Of
acute perception and his talk upon
What a Blind Man Saw in Eu-
rope is said to be extremely inter-
esting.
Rev. Pr. couden, the Chaplain Of
the House, hides his eyes beneath
dark blue glasses. He is tall and
digni6ed. and, like his colleague in
the Senate, is very eloquent. His
prayers are brief, but they condense
a great deal in their few words.
