IN THE SNOW.
Pointers ON the Use of the snow
Roller ON New England Roads.

$Ofnters ON the Use of the snow
Roller ON New England Roads.
In most towns in Vermont and in 9TH
sr parts of New England the roads are
kept clear of snow by means of roller,
but in many towns even where the roll
er has been in use for several years the
people have not fully learned how to
manage it. The rollers in use vary
greatly in size, but SO far as l am able
to learn those that are made in two
sections, each 51a feet long and 6 feet
high, with a space Of foot between the
sections, and the whole roller weighing
about three tons, give the best satisfac-
tion It's weight is sufficient to pack the
snow thoroughly in all cases, while its
great diameter gives it lighter draft
than roller four feet in diameter and
weighing only two tons. If the diane
ter is increased much above six feet,
the line of draft is raised to such an
extent that the team works at dis
advantage, and there seems to be no
satisfactory method of lowering it.
Since the road commissioners have tax
en- the matter in hand and removed the
bushes, board fences, stone walls and
other objects that formerly obstructed
the snow our roads do not drift as bad
ly as formerly. Yet even now the snow
drift is the worst feature Of our coun-
try roads and the most difficult problem
with which we have to contend in keep
ing them open during the winter.
No shoveIing.
When using a roller, it should be re-
membered that a shovel is not to be
used except when absolutely necessary.
Sometimes a drift will be SO much
higher on one side of the road than the
other that it is necessary to use SHOW
ell in order to make the road level.
Sometimes, especially on the brow of
hill, a drift will be so high and so steep
that it is necessary to cut off the top
and fill in the bottom in order to make
a passable grade, but in no other case
should any shoveling be done. 1t may
be necessary to tramp the snow so as
to make paths for the horses, but the
roller should be driven over the top of
the snow. The main point in using
roller is to keep it on the top of the
snow and to roll down each successive
fall.
Inadvisable Management.
Last winter in a neighboring town
saw a trench 3 feet deep, II feet wide
and 20 rods long that had been shov-
eled through a drift in order to make
an easy passage for the roller. The
next storm filled the trench, and then,
banking against the snow that had
been thrown out, another drift was
made on the top of the first. The shov-
cling process was repeated after each
storm until the drift had attained a
height of nearly ten feet, when the
road was abandoned. Now, this drift
attained it's full height during the first
storm, and had it been rolled down and
the road made on its top it would have
increased in height only according to
the fall of snow, and there would have
been a good road over it all winter

Conscientious onicia1.

"There is nothing like the authority
of even the lesser officials on the con.
tinent," said tourist who had just re-
turned from Europe "In Germany the
least clerkling in the employ of the
government assumes the right to in.
terfere with your smallest private af.
fairs.
"When was in Paris not long ago, ]
had little joke with friend of mine
about an old felt hat l wore on our
walking tours. A month or so after
when l was in little town in Germany
it happened that my part of the joke
was to send the hat to him. So tied
it up and took it to the postofice, g
small box of place with one old Ger
man in attendance. He asked me what
was in the package.
Merchandise 1 said.
"sWhat kind of merchandise? he
asked and then put more and more
questions until I told him it was an
old felt hat.
How much is it worthY
81 thought this was part of the reg
ulation, SO told him it was not worth
anything.
"'And you are going to send it by
mail?'
"sYes.'
"'When it has no valueY
eyes. But it has certain kind o.
value
"'How much?'
Nothing that / can estimate
Then it is not worth the postage
and you had better not send it.
But want to send it.
" Tt is folly, mein herr, and cannoi
allow it.

A sAwBUcK FoR LONG STICKS.

about a month ago l built combina-
tion buck which was convenient for
both crosscut and buck saving, says a
writer in Ohio Farmer. 1t is shown in
the figure. 1t is made of 2 by oak
scantling halved together, and the two
nearest KS are only twelve inches
apart from outside to outside. Our
range takes wood seventeen inches
long, and put the supports near
enough together so that l can saw out
side the end and not have the saw
pinch. This would be inconvenient, and
the buck would tip endwise if it were
not for the third X, which gives sup
port to long sticks and makes buck
saving much pleasanter. as much of
the fatigue in this kind of work comes
from keeping in place the sticks that
are being sawed.
The buck is "a inches high to where
the wood rests and 46 inches long. The
long legs of the KS are 48 inches. Such
buck stays where it is put and is very
convenient until time to store it. By
having the cross rods held in place by
lag screws put in from the underside
the KS can be separated and laid away
in small compass.

GROWING Old

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
teebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assinilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

How to Take Care Of a watch.

How to Take Care of n Watch.
Always wind up watch as nearly
as possible at the same time every day
and do it as smoothly as possible to
avoid sudden jerks Most watches are
now made keyless, but if key has to
be used it should be kept perfectly
clean and free from grit or fiue. says
an exchange. If watch is hung up, it
must have some support at the back,
and if laid horizontally it is well to
place some soft substance under it for
more general support; otherwise the
action of the balance will cause pen
dulous motion of the watch and cause
much variation in time. The watch
pocket must be kept as free from dust
and nap as possible.

Her Point of view.

A lady residing in quiet village in
Suffolk used to take an interest in a
very aged couple who were spinning
out the last thread of life in Darby
and Joan fashion, seated on either side
of the fireplace. She often paid them
a visit to cheer them up. The old man
had been ailing, and at last day came
when the visitor found only one chair
occupied. Darby was not in his usual
place.
Where is your husbandY'
.sWelI, mum, he be gone at last.''
"Oh, I'm very sorry. That is very
sad for you," said the lady, seeking to
find some words of consolation.
sYes, mum, it be sad." replied the
old woman, "but then, you see, he were
fearfully in the way of the oyen."-

How to Tell an Eggs Age.

The age of an egg is now discovered
by immersing it in solution of salt
containing about eight ounces to the
pint. When the salt has thoroughly
dissolved, the egg to be tested is
dropped gently into the glass contain
ing the solution. If the egg is only one
day old, it sinks Immediately to the
bottom; If three days old, it sinks just
below the surface only. and from five
days and upward it floats.
