FARM TELEPHONE LINES.
Way, Erection of Poles and
Stringing of Wires.

A correspondent who is interested
in the construction of telephone lines
in the country asks few questions
which are of legal rather than
scientific 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
acter for other people.
When there is cluster of houses,
not incorporated as 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 Off
Gals. The usual place for setting poles
is at the point where sidewalk Cor foot
path) adjoins the roadway. There is
no law on the subject. 1t is custom
that governs. But it never would do to
plant 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 line of curbing 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 pole there, if he Sc
riously objects. Sometimes construc-
ton company "steals march" on him,
by planting the pole before he can in
terfere. But that is 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 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.

Croker is ignorant, has no mental

studies, is a great reader, scho.arand

apt to be.

what Good Road. VIII Do.

Before all things the United States
is an agricultural country. 1t is the
possibility of large returns for labor
in this direction which keeps up the
price of labor in our manufactures
and in all our industries, and thus
brings comfort and ease within the
reach of all. Good roads, by lessen
ing the cost of agricultural products
form the most effectual means of
maintaining the condition of comfort
and even luxury of which America is
so proud.-H. w. Conn, department Of
biology, Wesleyan university, Middle

lustration explains itself. Drive two
staples, a, into the tree, about half
an inch apart. Put the wire in place.
Then drop the wire nail into posi-

is desirable to lower it. Take out the
nail, press the wire down to the bot
tom of the post and place it under the
hook.-Orange Judd Farmer.

the spirit of money making has frowned upon
