Improve the Roads.

Everybody In this county is in
terested, or should be, in having
our roads improved, and just why
the good roads act passed by the
last Legislature is not taken adj
vantage of by our people to a
greater extent, we are unable to
understand. Surely we need bet
ter roads and they can now be
made with just a little extra ex-
pense. We have received several
inquiries asking how to proceed
TO get State aid for good roads, =
In reply we would state that ap-
plication for State aid is to origl'
nate in the township. The petl-
ton is to be laid before the COun'
ty Commissioners and, if it is ap'
proved by them, it goes to the
State Highway Commissioners. =
The cost of improvements is to be
borne half by the State, a quarter
by the county and quarter by
the township.
Surely some of our people who
have been advocating the i'm
provement Of our public roads
for several years, should present
petitions to the proper authorities
and thus establish a preceden
that viii eventually lead to th'
oetterment of our public high
ways throughout the county.

WHILE SKATING, FELL ON THE ICE.
In Getting the Body Of MIR. Ledridge

pointed by the court to inquire as
to the sanity of Emanuel Fagley,
sat for the performance of their
duty, and after the examination
of the subject, and learning the
evidence of nu Der of witnesses
they recommended that Mr.. Fag-
ley be placed under the care of a
State Institution.
A few days ago we called at the
jail to see Mr.. Fagley. He seem
ed quiet and seemed to realize his
unfortunate condition. He told
US that about forty years ago he
with a lumber Of companions
went skating, and that he fell
striking the back of his head VIC.
lently on the ice. He called our
attention to a sharp ridge or knot
on the back of his head which he
said came from that fall, and that
he had suffered more or less from
j ever since. He referred to the
fact that several years ago he was
assisting a Mr.. Ledredge to clean
well at Thomas Palmer's, and
Mr.. Ledredge having met his
death at the bottom of the well,
Fagley descended to bring him
out, and was almost suffocated in
doing it. For a long time after
that he suffered with a severe
pain above the eyes and in his
temples.
On Monday morning he sent to
this office the following bible
problem which he requested us
to publish. Look over it and see
whether his answer is correct.
A teacher being asked how
many scholars were in his Sab
bath school, replied:
If you multiply the number of
Jacobs sons by the number of
times which the Israelites COM
passed Jericho on the seventh
day, and add to the product the
number of measures of barley
which Boaz gave Ruth; divide this
by the number of Haman's sons,
subtract the number of each kind
of unclean beasts that went into
the ark, multiply by the number
of men that went to seek Elijah
after he was taken to heaven; sub
tract from this Joseph's age at
the time he stood before Pharaoh
divide by the number of stones
David selected to kill Goliath
subtract the mum Der of furlongs
that Bethany was distant from
Jerusalem; multiply by the mum
ber of anchors cast out at the time
of Paul's shipwreck, and subtract
tine number of people saved in the
ark the remainder will be the
number of scholars in the school
How many scholars are in thu
school? Ans. 1873.

Poultry Gives Quick Returns.

One of the principal advantages in
poultry production is that returns
come quickly. With the exception of
strawberries there is practically no
line of small fruits on which you can
begin to realize inside of three years;
a mich COW does not approach her
full power of production short of three
and a half years; apple trees do not
begin to bear freely short of seven or
eight years; and if you go in for for
est reproduction, realization upon
the investment does not come inside
the life of half or even a whole gen
GRAFTON. How is it with the hen?
Three weeks from the setting of the
hen you have a batch of chickens:
from four to four and half months
from Matching. the cockerels are ready
for the market, and in five to five and
a half months the pullets will begin
to lay.-A. G. Gilbert.

New Stock and Disease.

Every farmer should realize the risk
he takes when he imports into his flock
stock from other fiocks. Contagious
diseases are almost always brought in
this way. There are some focks that
are free from lice and mites as well
as of disease. When a farmer has Sc
cured this condition OF things he
should go very slow about increasing
the number of his fowls through pur-
chase. 1t is therefore best to increase
the flock through raising the birds.
This may take longer than to increase
it by purchase, but it will give a big
ger profit. 1t is not uncommon to
have a whole flock swept. away by
some malady introduced through care
less purchase of new birds. The
writer had a poultry house that had
been free from lice and mites for
years He regarded it quite wonder
full that he had completely exter-
minated the red mites. But in an I'm
guarded moment he purchased the en-
tire flock of a man about to move
away. The result was that the red
mites were introduced and caused
m2re loss to the original flock than
the whole purchased flock was worth.
