ROadS of N1issIsainni

DR.. j. A. Rowan, a prominent physi-
clan, has the following to say about
the roads of the state
From my experience as a country
physician in travelling over the roads
am convinced that the present system
of working roads in Mississippi is a
farce. The inexperience and apathy
on the part of overseers and the indif-
ference on the part Of hands should
convince any ordinarily intelligent per-
son that new methods will have to be
adopted. The contract system, with
improved implements, is the remedy.
In my opinion broad tired wagons
would do much toward keeping roads
in good repair. and our legislature
should enact a law requiring the mar
row tire to be replaced by the broad
after three or four years or one allow
Ing parties using them q credit on their
road tax. l often go double the dis
lance over our best roads rather than
go half as far over the average, saving
time and comfort thereby. The people
will have to be educated along the lines
of better roads. and new methods will
have to be forced upon them"

LATE GARDEN CROPS.
Celery After sweet Corn. Early Pota-
toes or Peas-Late Sown Endiye,

For the late crop of celery the plants
may he set up to the last of July. and
ground previously used for the early
sweet corn, early potatoes, peas or
beans will do nicely, advises n Rural
New Yorker writer of Michigan. The
ground should he thoroughly worked,
but on account of the shallow feeding
habit of the plants five or six inches in
depth is sufficient. Thoroughly rotted
stable manure Is considered by most
growers to be the safest and best fer
tilzer and should be used without stint.
In transplanting clip the tops and
ends of the roots back and set firmly
five or six inches apart in the row, and,
unless rain has recently fallen. water
ing out will be found helpful. If the
blanching is done with boards. 30 inch
es between rows is sufficient, or even
less if space is limited. If blanched
with soil 31a to feet is not too much.
The essentials of large crop and fine
crisp quality are rich soil and abundant
moisture and if the rainfall is not suf-
ficient then watering by some means
must be rcSOrtcd to.
The smaller plants, or even larger
ones if set later, may be left in the
ground until danger of too much frost.
They may then be taken up and placed
in dark cellar and if set closely to-
gether, with the roots packed in wet
sand they will make considerable
growth and blanch nicely. and the lar
ger stalks may be broken out as desired
for use.
Late sown endve is highly priced in
many localities as winter salad. The
seed may be sown in drills as late as
July and when plants are well estab-
lished should be thinned to 10 or u
inches in the row.
Clean culture is all that is necessary
until late fall or when wanted for use
The outer leaves are drawn up and tied
over the center of the plant, when they
will blanch nicely in a few days time
The Green Curled is hardy and de-
sirable variety and blanches to clear
white.

ROAD ORGANIZATIONS.
Value of United Effort to Promote
the Good ROndn Cnnne.

Hon. W. II. Moore, president of the
National Good Roads association, in an
address delivered before the good
roads convention of Mississippi spoke
of the varied interests affected by i'm
proved highways.
He said that the people should
awaken to the spirit Of the times and
get away from the OK team methods Of
their forefatheTs and meet the modern
conditions imposed by the present
civilization and by the present business
conditions. He spoke of the relation
of the cities to the country districts
and said that the theory that the farm
ers should alone bear the cost of road
construction was an exploded idea;
that 1t was the duty of the cities TO
help the farmers improve the country
roads, as it Is of vital interest to the
cities to lessen the cost of production
of the necessities of life.
Every supervisor, said he, who does
not work the roads as he should is a
thief. and every day that he fails to en-
force work ON the roads he Is stealing
from the county which employs him
and provides by law for his labor, for
when you pay your money for any
thing, no matter whether it be for gro
ceries, dry goods or roads, you should
get value received. He said that the
only way in which values could be
gained was to thoroughly organize all
interests and by sending delegates to
the state convention formulate a
scheme Of legislation which will en-
able the people to force the supervisors
to do their duty. He also advocated
the appointment Of a state road engi-
neer, to be located at Jackson, and a
county engineer in each county, who
would establish a uniform system all
through the state. He promised the
convention that If they were to organ
ize they would be in a position to die
tate the attitude Of their legislators,
both state and national. His final adj
vice was for organization, agitation,
education and legislation.

What Good Roads Mean.

Good roads mean to us both profit
and pleasure. They will enable US toown
better vehicles and take pride In them.
They will help the churches and schools
In every locality. Good roads mean a
saving of time, the value Of which. as a
whole, can hardly be estimated. They
will increase the average life of our We
hicles probably third and the saving
of wear and tear on our teams proba-
bly, more. to say nothing Of the increas-
ed loads that can be hauled with the
same teams.
Good roads will be a benefit to every
body except the wagon shops and car
riage makers. - Cor. New Orleans

hand. Within an oval opening at the
top there is an excellent chance to dis
play handsome statuette or other or
nament.
These corner furnishings can be built
and set up within n room by any skill
full carpenter or cabinet maker. To fit
them evenly into a corner it will be
necessary to cut the baseboards at a
proper bevel, removing the corner
pieces. Then the affair will fit snugly
up against the walls and appear to
have grown there.
If the woodwork of the room is paint
ed, these corner devices may be made
Of pine or white wood and painted to
match the other woodwork or they may
be treated as articles of furniture
merely and so be made of some hand
some wood, such as oak, cherry or red
wood, and left in their natural color.
This latter treatment is especially de-
sirable in corner device that does not
extend from floor to ceiling.
The corner fireplace design requires
a chimney built at the intersection of
three or, it may be, four rooms. The
patchwork extends out into the walls
much farther than appears in the cut,
the brickwork being smoothly plaster
ed over and the wall paper being
brought to the edge of the fireplace, as
shown. 1t may be necessary in house
where space Is circumscribed to cut off
some of the corner space above the
mantel to secure accommodations for
the fue. The woodwork Of the seats
should be made to follow the style Of
the woodwork of the room. If this be
a library and has much oak furniture,
the seats may we'll be made of oak, the
ends and the curved front being of the
quartered variety.

HAVING LORE.
A New England View on Curing-No
Musty Hny Thus.

After three-fourths of a day of sun
shine hay is only partially cured, but if
thinly spread it has had about all of
the exposure to the sun that it needs.
1t should then be packed in conical
cocks Of at least 200 pounds each. This
of course should be done in the evening
following the mornings cutting, as
spread on the ground it would be ex-
posed to the deleterious effect of the
dew overnight.
A haycock should be solidly and
compactly built, so that ordinary wind
will not blow it over and the sides
should be neatly raked down to assist
in shedding water.
When thus made, they will stand
smart showers with little damage, but
If there is an admiXture Of clover they
should surely be capped. In favorable
weather hay so cooked can safely be
kept in the field several days, and it is
curing all the time.
That is, the moisture is slowly being
expelled from the stalks and absorbed
by the atmosphere, which has free ac-
cess to every part of the cock.
Following the general custom where
the hay is packed into the NOW at the
end Of the first days curing, the expul-
sion of superfuous moisture subse-
quently follows, called Sweating" and,
there being no escape, the hay becomes
musty, which, besides detracting from
its nutritive value, renders it positively
unhealthy for cows to eat
l never saw hay cured in this hasty
but prevalent manner that did not
come out of the NOW in winter musty
or smoky" as it is called.
This evil is obviated where curing is
allowed to slowly and thoroughly take
place in the we'll automatically
capped if necessary-cock.

Seeding to Glover After Early Crops

We have learned, says a Farm and
Flreside writer, that the common red
clover seeded by itself on good soil in
July will often make fine catch and
go through the winter all right. In
fact, where the crimson does quite we'll
many prefer the red seeded at the same
time. On poor land neither will do
well, as it is not sufficiently well rooted
by winter, but in our truck patches
and gardens, which are usually fairly
fertile, we should learn to SOW more
red clover after the early crops. 1t is
sown in cornfields at the last cultiva-
ton by some farmers with success.

railroad survey up through Carson val

here are awaiting the arrival of the
chief engineer before they start work.
Just where the line is to be run is not
stated. but it is likely that the road that
has been talked of for some time from
this city to the head Of Carson valley
is the project. 1t is even limited that
the line will be surveyed as far as
Placerville where it will connect with
the broad guage now in operation at
that place. The story has often been
circulated that the " & T. have been
looking over the ground for a road in
the same direction. Should the S. P.
take the initiative in the matter the
people will see a road up the valley
before many months hav collapsed.
There is something doing when the
