GOOD ROADS ESSENTIAL.
Rural Free Delivery Routes to b
Maintained Only Where High
ways Are Improved.

The post Office department has a
plan under considerat which, if
adopted, will help to do away with
the bad roads to be found in Sc
many parts of the country. 1t is to
have inspectors appointed in the
rural free-delivery part of the serv-
ice whose duty it shall be to deter
mine whether the roads over which
it is proposed rural carriers shall
travel are fit.
At present the department is
swamped with complaints of the ru-
raj carriers about the condition Of
the roads over which they are ex-
pected to carry the mail. The duty
of the inspectors shall be to exam
inc all the roads about which COM
plant is made. If they find the al
legation true they will notify the
supervisors of the townships through
which the roads pass that unless
they are put in condition within 7
fixed time the carrier service will
be discontinued. There are about
$4,000 rural free-deliyery routes.-N.

KEEP UP DAIRY1NG.
In Times Of Adve rslty and Depres 10 n
the Cow IL the Farmers Most
Reliable standby.

In times of prosperity it is well not
to forget the days of adversely that
we have seen and may see again. To-
day there is money in almost any kind
of farming. More money can be made
in raising beef and pork perhaps than
in making butter, but this is condi-
ton that belongs to prosperity. When
the gloomy days come. and the pig
and the steer cease to return profit,
is the time when the cow is found to be
a standby. The profit she returns in
prosperity and in adversely is not a
large one but it is = profit neverthe-
less and not to be despised. 1t is very
noticea bic at a time when other things
are returning losses. So at this time
the COW should not be forgotten. Many
a man will have to fall back on her yet.
During the hard times of few years
ago thousands of men went to milk
ing cows that had never done SO be-
fore. But they discovered then that
they had not been preparing their
herds for that possibility and conse-
quently had to milk cows that gave
them very little profit. They had been
in the past breeding to beef bulls and
had calves of mixed blood. They then
wished they had saved their best
calves for mixers. Yet after the clouds
had passed away they forgot all bout
their former experiences and went to
selling their good cows and good calves
and breeding dairy cows to beef bulls.
They are likely to repeat their old
mistake and experience the old re-
grets. What should be done at this
time is to keep the best dairy cows and
breed them to the best dairy bulls, re-
tanning their calves if they show signs
of developing into good mixers. In
this way a fairly good lot of cows will
be ready for work when needed. It is
sad to relate that at this time even
good cows are being sent to the butch
er, the owner having become fixed in
the idea that prosperity is henceforth
to be perpetual.-Farmers' Review.

TIE BAND CUT ICE.
Too Cold to Make Music, and They
Wanted to Be Set to Work
ut Once.

One winter when the First United States
cavalry was stationed in Montana the
bandmaster went to the commander OF the
post, Gen Culver Grover, and reported
that the members of the band had been or
dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit
Free Press He said: "Sheneral, they did
not enlist US to cut ice, but to make mooslc.
The commanding officer called the adjutant
and on his approach said: Mr.. Adjutant,
Mr.. Schmidt wishes the band excused from
ice fatigue; he says they enlisted to make
music" Mr.. Schmidt, bowling to the COM
manding officer, said: "4es, sheneraI, to
then said: Mr.. Adjn.ant, the band will
be excused from ice fatigue" Mr.. Schmidt
bowed himself out, saying: Thank you,
sheneral; thank you, sheneral." "But," "
continued the commanding officer, as the
door closed, Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
take post on the bluff overlooking the river
and will make music while the rest of the
command cut ice." The weather was in
tensely cold, and Is matter of course it
was impossible for the players to make a
sound, their breathing freezing on their
instruments. The bandmaster again hur-
ried to the commanding officer and said:
'Sheneral, it is impossible to make
moosic; the band would rather cut ice"
Every well, Mr.. Schmidt, just as you wish,
replied the commanding officer, and, call
ing the adjutant, he said: "Mr. Adjutant,
the band will cut ice.'

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Franchises for Rural Trolley Syn tems
Should Not BE Granted for
Long Periods.

Electric railways are not allowed
to carry freight in certain states,
owing either to state laws or to the
charters of steam railroads that give
the latter monopoly of freight
transportation. Wherever such laws
exist they should be repealed. The
trolley system should be open to
freight as well as to passengers. We
consider this matter of the most ex-
traordinary Importance, and cannot
too strongly urge that whatever leg
islation is necessary to accomplish
this result be obtained without delay.
Articles published last season on the
use of the electric railway for trans
porting farm produce, in western
New York, in Ohio and in Canada,
have given great impetus to the
trolley freight idea. Electric rail
ways are being promoted all over the
country. 1t will not be long before
communication by trolley from the
country to the city will be well-nigh
universal in the more thickly settled
sections. All questions pertaining to
street railway franchises are there
fore becoming quite as important to
the country as to the city.
Officials in counties and in rural
townships should grant franchises
for electric railways only under suit
able restrictions to protect the public
interest. The duration of the fran
chise should be limited to certain
number of years, and the charges for
freight and passenger service should
be specified in the franchises as
granted. Care in the granting of
franchises for rural electric railways
will avoid many of the costly mis-
takes made by cities years ago in
giving away forever most valuable
franchises for the use of their streets
for railways, gas conduits, etc. 1t is
inevitable that the great majority OF
the local trolley lines now in oper-
alton and in prospect will in time be
consolidated into a few large sys-
TENS, just as is being done with the
steam railways. While the conven
fence of electric transportation is de-
sired in rural districts, as we'll as in
the cities, it is OF grave consequence
that all contracts, franchises, ETC.,
for these new railways be granted
under conditions that will conserve
the public welfare in the future.
No franchise should be granted for
longer than 20 years, at the end OF
which time the township or county
should be entitled to acquire the
railway upon payment of fairly APP
praised value of tracks and equip
ment.-Orange Judd Farmer.

I find it better, when saving in this

inches of solid wood, until all are nearly
cut off, when a few strokes of the saw
will separate them. By this means the
log is held steady and it's equilibrium

Liquid Manure for Plants.

One reason why liquid manure is
so much advocated is its genuine eff
ficacy. This is a good time to speak
of the matter, for the reason that the
blooming season of pot hyacinths and
other bulbs is at hand, and these are
much benefited by frequent doses of
liquid manure. A convenient form to
apply is to take a three-inch flower
pot full of COW manure and mix it in
a large garden can of water. Dilute
this by the same amount Of fresh wa
ter, and apply twice a week. An ounce
of nitrate of soda dissolved in four
gallons of water is said to be quick
and good liquid stimulant for bulbs.
In applying liquid to bulbs the time
to begin is when the pots are filled
with roots and flower spikes are Wis

man, says: "a man or woman who
has never had kidney complaint or
any of the little ills consequent upon
irritated or inactive kidneys knows
very little about what prolonged suf-
fering is. 1 had attacks which kept
me in the house for days at a time,
unable to do anything, and to ex-
press what I suffered can hardly be
adequately done in ordinary Anglo
Saxon. AS time passed, compiled
tons set in, the particulars of which
I will be pleased to give in personal
interview to, any one who requires
information. I used plenty of rem
edies, and, ever on the outlook for
something that might check or ben
eft my condition, began taking

sciencously say, Doan's Kidney Pills

Effective Dairy 1nAtructiOn.

A novel method of dairy instruction,
which has been very successfully car
ried out the past two summers in Cape
Breton and Nova Scotia, is that of a
travelling dairy, combining lectures
and actual practice with modern, up
to-date apparatus properly used. Miss
Laura Rose conducted this travelling
dairy school and during the past sea-
son held III meetings, addressing over
5000 people, travelling 723 miles, test
ing GAO samples of milk, and making
9o3 pounds Of butter. Three counties
were covered this year, in addition to
four last season in Cape Breton. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Chapman says
the work will continue till every coun-
ty is reached. This is great contrast
to the remarkable Indifference shown
by many of the states in our common
wealth which boasts such progress.

Mango P.r.sites ON Horses.

There are three groups of mango
parasites which attack horses. The
mites are so small that they can easily
be overlooked, in making an examina-
ton. Except the mango of the past
ern joints, the disease is very difficult
to cure, unless it is treated in the early
stages. Sulphur ointment and tobacco
infusions are good remedies, but usu-
ally several applications will be neces-
sary. Vaseline containing ten per
cent. of carbolic acid and carbonated
glycerine are also good, as they soften
the skin and kill the mites. Every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent the
spread of the disease through the use
of harness, saddles or blankets that
have been used on the diseased ami
mails.

An hour later the same voice came from

"W<ll, what on earth do you want?'
he shouted. "Have the water pipes

Growing Apples on Farms.

The growing of apples promises to
be a very profitable branch of horti-
cultural activity in the future, as it has
been in the past. The demand for win
ter apples is one difficult to satisfy.
There are as yet many problems to
solve as to the adapta bility of vari-
cites to different localities, but in
every locality some varieties are known
that are successful there. The sooner
winter apple orchards are put out the
better, as it takes a good many years
for an orchard of that kind to come
into bearing.-Farmers' Review.

HINT FOR LOG SAVING.
A Handy Arrangement Which RobA
q Hard Task of Its Most Dis
agreeable Features.

Many farmers draw their winter sup
ply of wood to the door in the log and
saw it at odd times with a cross cut
saw. This is easy and pleasant work
when the log is raised about two feet
from the ground, but very difficult and
tedious when it lies fiat upon the
ground. A handy arrangement for
holding and raising the logs is easily
made as shown in the sketch

and strong enough to bear the strain.
