Keeping Right Along With the TreE d
of the Times

Chicago Chronicles: Whether there
is anything in the prediction or not
time will show, but it is noteworthy
that the republican newspapers
which declare that the elder son of
the late Senator Mcmillan, of Michi-
gan, will be appointed as his success
sOr refer to him as one well qualified
for the place and in proof. of their as
sertion call attention to the fact that
for some time past he has had entire
charge of his fathers business af-
fairs.
To the republican mind a man who
is at the head of half dozen great
protected interests is an ideal states
man, and since, under the sway of
the tariff-protected combines, it is
property rather than states which is
represented in the United States
senate, nothing could be more nat
ural and appropriate from its stand
point than to let great office pass
from father to son, just as they do
things in the monarchies of Europe.

On Christmas turkey an pumpkin pie.
You wouldn't be singin' minor song
An kind o. hintin' the worlds gone wrong.
You wouldn't be tellin' tale OF woe
II you had only done so an so.
''If you had done so an so. your health
Would be as remarkable as your wealth.
II you had been more alert to spy
The numerous chances there were to buy
Some corner lots or some shares OF stock.
You'd be ownin' a stone-front business

You'd never find your finances low
II you had only done so an So"
Amt it easy and amt 1t fun
To criticise when the job Is done!

Each enterprise would have turned out

For this old world that is raisin' Cain.

CHESTNUT. CULTURE.
,vania Gentleman Who Has
4 Grove of 2O6 Acres.

Coleman K. Sober, of Union county,
Pa, owns the largest chestnut grove
in the United States, says the Phila-
delphia Press. It comprises 205
acres, with over 100000 trees. Mr.:
Sober is a wealthy lumberman of
Lewisburg, whose object is to render
profitable the millions of acres of
wild mountain land in the common
wealth. When boy of IL he asked
his father, while grating fruits, to
graft some young chestnut trees, but
was only laughed at. Five years ago
he carried out his boyish idea, on
land too rough even for sheep pas
ture, the waste of numbering opera
-tions, on the sides of Irish valley,
eight miles from Shamokin. Pine and
oak were cut down generation ago,
leaving chestnut standing. Cutting
these down, young shoots sprung up
which were grated with scions of
Paragon, crisp, sweet nut, five
times as large as the native chestnut.
This fallMr. Sober harvested his first
crop, 80 bushels, worth 81 bushel,
and in few years his returns will
be by the thousands. In fact, the
estimate for next year is about 5000
bushels, which, at Sc, would be $751;
600, from land not worth So an acre
for farming purposes. Mr.. Sober did
the first grating himself, with a lit
tie assistance. The last two seasons
he employed eight grafters for five
weeks, each man averaging 300 trees
a day. Ninety per cent. of the CRAFTS
were successful. The groves are pro-
tected on two sides by fire roads,"
and all brush is carefully burned.
Game chickens are kept to: prey on
the chestnut weevel, and sheep to
keep the grass down. Mr.. Sober ia
vors transplanting seedlings rather
than planting nuts.

FARM TELEPHONE LINIS.
Hints ON How to Obtain RIGHTS OF
Way, Erection Of Poles anu
Stringing OF Wires.

A correspondent who IL interested
in the construction of telephone Lines
in the country asks a few questions
which are of legal rather than q
scient ifio character. They all relate
to rights of way. The following In
formation, printed in reply, is supplied
by the president of company whose
business it is to build lines of this char
aster for other people.
When there is a cluster Of houses,
not incorporated as a village. it may
be we'll to get franchise from the
town authorities. Indeed, the town
alone can give franchise under these
circumstances. The village has no offi'
Gals. The usual place for setting poles
is at the point where sidewalk Tor foot
path) adjoins the roadway. There is
no law on the subject. 1t is Gust om
that governs. But it never would do to
plant a pole in the middle of the high
way, nor, on the other hand, would it
be tolerated in the middle of the foot
path. In cities and villages where
there is a line of curling it is usual to
set poles just inside that line, in the
outer edge of the sidewalk. In the
country the corresponding place is Sc
lected.
A farmer is supposed to control the
property outside his fence, at least as
far as the curb line, and can veto any
scheme to set a pole there, if he Sc
riously objects. Some times construc-
ton company "steals march" on him,
by planting the pole before he can in
terfere. But that is a practice not to
be encouraged. But when the consent
OF. other property owners in the vicin-
ity has been secured, and only one
man stands out, it is not unusual to
carry the line across the street, put a
pole or two opposite his land, and then
come back again.
If it is desirable to cross another
telegraph line, without touching either
the poles or wires thereof, one may
do so without saying "by your leave"
But when a neighborhood wishes to
make use of existing poles, Of course
the owners consent must be secured.
In this case, it would be proper to
write to the president Of the company.

IMPROVEMENT
HIGHWAYS IN EUROPE.
France Probably Has the Best Laws
for Building and Repairing
Public Roads.

Two hundred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world, be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking of them Macauley
says that route connecting two
great towns which have q large and
tiourishing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost OF
the rural population scattered be-
tween them is manifestly unjust. It
was not until many toll bars had
been violently pulled down, until the
troops had in many instances been
forced to act against the people, and
until much blood had been shed that
good system was introduced"
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road system in
England. The French have probab bly,
the most efficient laws and regula-
tions in the world for the building
and repairing of highways: The min
lister, of public works has the general
superintendent of all roads and
ways by land and by water. There
are four classes of road recognized
by law, namely: ~ national, (2) de-
partmental, (3) military, ~ cross
roads. National roads are built and
kept up by the national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge
upon the departments through which
they pass, and part of the military
roads are kept up BY the government
and part by the departments
through which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in
thinly populated regions these COM
munes receive assistance from the
government, especially when these
roads become of Importance.
The national roads are paved like
street, having an average width of
52h feet. The departmental roads
are 80 feet wide, and the military and
cross roads are of variable width.
Piles of broken stone are placed at
convenient distances and a man is
constantly employed in repairing each
section.-American Asphalt Journal.

Government Help ]. Needed,

The improvement of our country
roads is so nearly private matter
that we need not look for govern
ment help. All the taxes raised in
cities for road improvement are ex-
pended within the city limits, so that
the wealth of the>cities would be ex-
empt, except through the possible
channel of state or county aid. Thus,
the expense of making hard roads
would fall upon the farm lands and
personal property outside of the
cities. AS the laws now stand there
is nothing to hinder the making of
good or hard roads wherever the ma
terial is within reasonable distance,
or where we feel like mourning the
necessary outlay of time and money.
William Wilson, in Orange Judd
Farmer.
