THE MAKING OF ROADS.

The Virginia Citizen agrees with the
fredericksburg Star that 1T might be a
good idea 10 try solution of the road
problem which makes every property
owner the custodian Of the road adjacent
To his land, or in other words, do as they
do in cities, where each property owner
must keep his sidewalk in order.
We have no idea that such a law would
ever be tolerated in Virginia. even II II
could stand the test OF the courts. but
our contemporaries are on the right line
The way 10 get good roads is Tor each
and every community 10 take care oil the
roads within its own borders. and this
should be by the hearty cooperation oil
all persons living along the line OF the
road II all the land holders living IN
Virginia would pursue this policy II
would not be long before We would have
first class roads in all parts OF the Com
mOnwealth. Times Dispatch.
We do not know that such law
would be tolerated here, but our e.
teemed contemporary. the Newport
News Press. is our authority for the
statement that such a law at present
exists in one OF the Northwestern
States. We think Michigan. though
we are not sure that We are correct
as to the particular State Ii this Is
a fact the law is evidently able to
stand the test OF the courts.
Itappears now, since the President
declared that the Republicans OF the
State should make a contest in all
elections. that the two factions OF
the Republican party are TRYING to
harmonic and 90 into the next con
test in solid column. This has given
rise to the question, which must be
settled, what are you going to do
with the negro" 1t has been as
serted by Republicans that as the
negro has been eliminated from poll
tics by the new Constitution ne Is no
longer in the way and that they now
have an opportunity OF organizing a
respectable white Republican party
in the State that can win. Whether
or not this assertion was made, the
colOred man isnOt satisfied with the
situation. and declares bis intention,
if ignored by the Republicans, to
show his independence by acting for
himself. 4 colored otficeholders in
Richmond is reported by the Times
Dispatch to have declared himself 10
this fashion:
We are organized all over the State
better than ehave ever been before and
we are following Hayes. We have found
out that we are not wanted by either
faction OF the Republican party and are
prepared TO accept the situation in our
own way The party must under
stand that under the new cOndi-
tions it is not dealing with the ignO-
rant cOlOred man who cannot vote IN
der the new constitution. but the educa-
ted and enterprisiDg negro who Is not
going to let either faction OF the Rspub-
lican party lead him by the nose or hood
wink him for it's own aggrandisement.
We are able TO fight and ready to tight,
and we shall protect our own interests
regardless OF back patting which means
nothing to " any longer
So is will be seen that the effort to
get the white factions together is
driving the colOred man from them,
which must result in weakening the
party in the State.

spect than the average OF those in the

country. and there is here far more

America-but at the cost Of a vast

contests at the dairy shows are useful
and commendable Many parts Of Eu-
rope have the additional advantage Of
keeping the cows in the fields con-
tinuously the greater part of the year
and milking them in the open air.
This practice does much to insure
clean milk and pure products.
The care which is given to milk on
the farm where proddced, whether il
is to go to a milk market or TO be
made into butter or cheese, with the To-
cation, construction and arrangement
OF dalries OF milk rooms, their equip
ment and management, show great va
riety and lack OF uniformity in every
country. The good, the bad, and the
Indifferent are common to all. Good
milk rooms, well located. thoroughly
built. shaded, cool, and well kept, are
not hard to find in any dairy district
Construction is heavier and more dur
able in Europe; convenience and ease
of management are common in Amer
lea. Excepting Denmark and Sweden,
no country compares with America in
the general appreciation and use Of
cold water and ice in the care OF milk.
The almost entire absence Of refriger-
alton in France, and the general ig
noring Of the value Of cold in dairy
ing, is truly astonishing. In the mat
ter of dairy appliances and equinsent,

amount of cheap labor. In other
countries, as we'll as Denmark, much
attention is paid to cleaning the COW
stables. but the conclusion has been
forced upon us that this is done more
from an appreciation Of the value Of
all farm manurial matter and the
fixed habit Of saving it than from any
knowledge or intention of cleanliness
as of prime importance in dairying.
This is especially shown by the fact
that COWS are MIXED In just about as
careless and uncleanly a manner in
Great Britain and all over Europe as,
# must unfortunately be confessed. is
the common practice in the @United
States. The very general use Of women
as mixers in all foreign dairy dis
tricts is a decided advantage; they are
vastly better than the average farm
laborer. who does all sorts Of work
during the day. Much attention is be-
Ing given, especially In England, to

women instead Of men for milking,

MILK DELIVERY FROM CASKS IN HElsNooR, DENMARK

the United States is surpassed by no
other country, although Denmark and
parts of Great Britain stand about as
well.
The business of transporting. caring
for, and distributing milk for con-
sumption in its natural state and for
household purposes seems to be in
every possible stage Of development
in different parts of the world. Cows
or their substitutes are driven through
the streets and milked at customers
doors in British India and the West
Indies Mich goats are managed in
the same way even in the best streets
of Paris and Rome. The milk service
of villages and small towns is con-
Quoted in an exceedingly crude. yet
often picturesque, manner in some Of
the oldest dairying regions Of Europe
In Scotland, Holland, Denmark and
Switzerland milk is still carried in
wooden vessels and retailed from them
in towns and cities. The local milk
service in similar places in the Unit
ed States is often poor enough. with
little regard for care or cleanliness.
but nowhere as crudely performed. In
most Of the big cities Of Europe there
are large market milk establishments,
admirably conducted. There are fine
ones in London, better in Copenhagen,
and the biggest and best Of all in Ber-
lin Paris probably has the poorest
milk service Of any Of the large cities.
There was a time, not many years ago,
when a few foreign milk supply es-
adjustments far exceeded in many re-
spects the best OF like character to be
found in America. But at the present
time, although some Of these European
milk companies do a larger business
and have more extensive and costly
plants. II is the opinion Of the writer
that we have in the United States a
considerable number Of establishments
for city milk supply which are superior
in many respects.
Il is we'll worthy OF note that at a
special show Of perishsble dairy prod
ucts held as an annex to the Paris ex-
position, in July. 1900, just outside the
city limits, where French producers

OUT OF THE NAV OF DEATH.
Captain aud Crew of Nine Saved after Un-
spsakable 8gonies.
(By the Associated Press J

New York Nov. 5.-After being lashed
to the stump of mast for forty-eight
hours and without fresh water for three
days, Captain Gabrielsen and nine of the
crew of the waterlogged schooner John
w. Linnell, have reached this port aboard
the Italian ship GABRIEL D,Ah.
Notwithstanding their privations, the
sEipwrecked mariners are not suffering
from any serious i'll effects.
The Linnell left Fernandina on October
II and on the oath plunged N
gale. Owing to the heavy sea running,
Captain Gabrielsen reefed his light sails
The next day the wind blew hurricane
and it was the schooner was leaking.
The wrecking pumps were started, eut
proved of no vail and in a
short time there was six feet of water
i'll the hold. The big seas hau
smashed the small boats and ruined
the tanks holding the fresh water.
The sailors plight was made more dcs-
perate by the fear that the vessel would
turn turtle. Top revent this, the masts
were cut away and the crew lashed them
selves to one of the stumps. The vessel
was awash with the exception of the top
of the afterdeck house, and the sailors
suffered terribly from lack of food aud
water The waves broke over them con-
tinually
On the 26th the schooner vas deeper in
the water and the gale continued with
undimnished velocity
On the afternoon of the 9th. Captain
Gabrielsen attracted the attention of the
lookout on the Gabreill D'Afi, and after a
hazardous trip the Linnell's men were
transferred from the sinking hulk to the

The vessel was abandoned in latitude
30.16, longitude 1921 by dead reckoning,
and later was reported by the schooner
