ter and liberal amount of rain during
sis placed upon the good roads problem
in some sections having newly estab-
lished free delivery mail routes. When
the patrons are shut in for three or
four days at time without their mail,
the roseate hue of the new system
begins to fade away. The establish
ment of centralized school systems
will present still another argument
for road improvement. In many sec
tions of the prairie the pavement Of
roads with stone or even gravel is very
| expensive owing to a lack of such ma
terials in those localities. Very great
improvement may, however, be made
with the materials at hand. Dirt roads
can he made that will be passable un-
der practically all kinds of weather and
that, during the greater part of the
year, will be very good roads. One of
the most universal failings of our roads
is lack of proper understandings. This
is the first essential of good road, re-
| gardless of the kind of material used
for the surface. Stone or any other
kind of paving will not keep in shape
on top of a soft. spongy, water-soaked
foundation. With porous reservoir
beneath the roadbed, into which the
water taken up thereby can persolate,
| the old mudhole without bottom will
be u thing of the past. Perhaps the
next most important step in the Sc
curing of better roGds is a provision
whereby they will \have constant at
tention and repairs will be made
promptly before the disorder becomes
extensive. This will involve the abol-
ishment of the oldfashioned system
, whereby the road work is done by the
farmers when they have nothing else
| to do and will involve also the payment
of the road taxes in cash and the en-
ployment of competent man by the
year. who will devote his whole time to
| the work, and, with q crew of men con-
| stantly at work will repair defects
whenever and wherever they occur,
| and such improvements as are made
will be made ut the time when the
| work can be done the most economical
| ly and the best results be obtained,
F! rather than when il suits the convent
ence of those performing the work
This change of system has been tried
in number of places in different states
and is found entirely satisfactory and
to give much better results than the
old method. One of the,chief stumbling
blocks in the way of inaugurating this
new system is the objection on the
part of the farmers to paying their
road taxes in cash. but when they
once try it they prefer it to the old
way. 1t is the universal experience
that the same expenditure of money
gives far better road service under
this system. Those who have the time
and would prefer to work out Their
taxes can offset the cash payment by
hiring out to the road engineer fol
such time as they may choose. Few
realize how much more effective road
work is when done at the right time

The Good Road. movement.

In Athens county, o., the farmers
prior to election day were red-hot
against piking. On election day it
rained. Water and red clay carried
the day for good roads. Now the farm
ers could not be induced TO go back
to the old mud-road system. If we
only realized how much better our
roads might be made by careful, in
telligent expenditure of the road
money now available. there would be
more judicious selection of super.
visors. We annually throw millions OF
dollars into our roads, a large per cent.
of which is wasted. Yet we begrudge
the small additional tax that would
make transportation the year round
possible and profitable. BY our
wretched roads we annually lose
enough to build good ones, and vet
do not complain of the tax. Court the
cost and good roads will win.--Farm

"Wait and see-you're better now, of course,

This was what the doctors said to Mr..
A. b. Smith, of this place. These doctors
had been treating him for years, and he got
no better. They thought that nothing could
permanently cure him. He says:

the Painter Couldn't
Think So.

Guests at musical parties are not com
monty expected to be especially attentive.
They may talk to any extent, dependent
largely on the amiability of their hostess.
But the conduct OF foreign painter in New
York surprised his hostess the other night.
1t also surprised the guests at this enter
tainment given in his honor. He was seat
ed in the front row, and was the most con-
spicuous person in the room next to the
popular contralto, who had just begun to
sing Before she had finished the first verse
the guest of honor arose, walked to his
hostess, said goodnight, and prepared to
leave, relates the New York Sun.
But you won't go now in the midst OF
her song" said the hostess. 1T Is an Ave
Maria 1t would embarrass her terribly"
BY this time all eyes were turned on the
painter, but he seemed quite indifferent.
"She may call it an Ave Maria" he
said Il should say it was a battle song.
With that comment the painter left the
house. He has not been allowed to enter it
again.

TESTING MILK cows.
lens Connected with Scientific
Dairying.

The problem of COW testing con-
tinues to be one of the most impor-
tant of the problems connected with
dairying. 1t is problem also in
! which is bound up much of the flu
ture success of dairy operations in
this country. The first work has
been and is to get the farmers to
wake up on this matter and to realize
that they have some cows that are
being kept at loss. But after the
COW owners are stirred up to the i'm
portance of this matter. we still have
to consider the best ways of testing
cows and tn methods that are to
give certain results. In the begin
ming of the agitation. even the scien-
lists themselves knew compare lively
little of the fat contents of milk and
the variation of the proportion of fat
contests i'm the daily yield of milk
At first man that wanted to pur-
chase COW would go out to the farm
where she was kept, weigh one milk
ing,. test the milk and buy or not on
the strength of that test. Now we
have learned that one milking shows
but little and that one test is little to
be relied on. Cows vary enormously
in short period AS to their milk Civ
ing. A. j. Glover. who has been test
ing hundreds of cows in Illinois. says
that some of the variations are re-
markable in this respect. One COW
gave only two per cent. milk at one
milking. but at the next her milk
tested As per cent. Over short pc
RODS therefore the test is unreliable,
but over long periods it is exceeding
ly accurate. This is one of the i'm
portant pieces of information one
must possess in testing cows. How
long the periods of testing must be
to give reliable results has not been
determined, but 1t is considered that
test covering a month is fairly ac-
curate. but to find out what a COW
is really worth the tests should con-
tinue off and on for year. This
may seem to mean a great deal Of
work, but IL does not. 1t merely
means the saving of sample of milk
every day for perhaps weeks. keep
ing II by the help of some preserva-
tive, and testing II at one time. This
is composite sampling and testing
and Is an easy way of solving hard
problem. The science of cow testing
Is one In which all COW owners are in

herds.-Farmers' Review.
