Why Is 1T

EDITOR CHIEF.-Why Is its That we
as supposed to be intelligent farmers
take no more pride or interest in our
country roads. It seems that a part,
Mt least, are afraid they will do some
thing for their fellows and the public
for nothing. Why do we generally
select the biggest slouches in the dis
trict for road overseers' Men, who
have no pride in their own work, that
have no judgment, no ambition, that
care nothing for their wi horses or
wagons and who go to town after a
rain aud do nothing. II these men
would call out the farmers when the
roads are badly washed out and are
full Of ruts and holes, when they can
do no work in the fields, and say: Here
you men lose no time now, let's work
these hills down, the ground Is soft, 1t
plows easy, we have time to do a good
job, etc. How much better the roads
would be.
Why is ite That any ambitious
farmers too, who have badly washed
roads right by their homes or within a
half mile, don't say to their neighbors:
Here, let us fix these roads now, we
won't loose any time, we can't work in
the field now, let us show the public
how good practical roads can be made
with good will aud good sense and
judgment. This would induce many
others to follow suit or be ashamed to
be thus outdone. Also why not each
man take his mower and spend al
hour or two and cut the weeds and
grass along the section line as far as
his land goes, while the weeds are sc
large they will not sprout any more
yet tender enough to cut easy. is
there an excuse for not doing it9 Many
men win call some lady a dirty house
keeper and SLOUGH, etc and yet can
not see how dirty they themselves ar,
by letting the weeds grow in the road'
before their own door and allowing
the roads to become almost impossible

Sanitary and Labor Saving Method u
WASHING Dishes.

A correspondent of the Boston
Globe thus describes an easy and
sanitary way of washing dishes: l
use the pulp or fiber ware instead
of enamel or tin for dishpan, and
when | am doing il myself gather
dishes from the table, placing the
least soiled in the dishpan, which is
filed with very hot water and a
little borax. The only soap used
comes from agitating IA shaker so
that small pieces of soap are in this
way used up. The dishes remain in
the water until | finish everything
else in the dining room, then | turn
out the water, fill with clean hot wa
ter and wash, rinsing each dish in
clear boiling water. They are all
placed in dish drainer and are
dry, ready to put away, in few
moments, without wiping, which is
far more cleanly and saves much
time. Knives and forks are the
only things wiped. 1t also saves
dish towels, as there is little or no
wear and tear upon them in this
way. The few minutes they lie
soaking in the water make the
washing simple and they shine ''ike
diamonds" when dry.
