SOMETHING MORE ABOUT GOOD
ROADS.

One Of the gerat needs of every
farmer is good country road on
which to haul his produce to market.
Where he. possess this convenience,
he can dispense with some of the
many horses or mules now absolutely
necessary for the hauling of his wag.

and tear when drawn over the mud.
dy highways, so common throughout
Georgia.
How to construct a good road is
the first problem to be solved and
how to keep it in repair is a question
of equal Importance. Good roads can.
enot constructed and maintained
by merely grading and draining the
surface of the ground. 1t is neces.
sary to surface these roads with some
durable material that will rnder them
proof against the mud and slush that
often prevail at the very seasons
when the roads are most needed for
the transportation Of the produce of
fields and market gardens
Not only the farmer, but the mer.
chant also suffers from bad country
roads or is benefited BY good, well
graded and thoroughly macadamizeG
highways.
Often even in rainy seasons there
are days when the people from the
rural districts would flock into the
cities and crowd the stores, were it
not for the mud that makes travel
inconvenient, if not impossible.
There is in Georgia abundance of
good material for giving to a well
graded road a good, solid surface, so
strong that even long continued and
heavy rains will not convert it into
mud.
When such road has once been
built, then it is necessary to keen il

The same diligence Is needful to
the keeping of the best constructed

To do everything that is necessary
both for the construction and proper

considerable outlay of money, but the

Whisky Not All Good.

The old adage that all whisky is
goo !, but some is better, was attacked
recently before the food standards
committee at the Hotel Walcott by
Col. W. NJ. Thomas, Of Kentucky, who
declared that much of the whisky
sold in the United States was unfit
for human consumption.
Colonel Thomas said that the only
really pure and healthful whisky was
that made in the old fashioned way
and aged in casks. No whisky, he
declared, was fit to drink until it was
eight or ten years old, although the
present bottlipg in bond law allows
it to be withdrawn for bottling in
four years, and in the original pack
ages it may be withdrawn at any
time.
Much of the so-called better class
whisky sold now, Colonel Thomas said,
was made from alcohol distilled from
corn, filtered through charcoal to re-
move the fusel oil and other impurl-
ties, and mixed with about one-ffth
OF it's volume Of pure old Bourbon or
rye whisky. Such a compound, be
said, might not be positively injuri-
GUS, but it could hardly be called pure
whisky.
By far the greater portion of the
stuff sold as whisky, he declared, how
ever, was made by taking cologne
spirits, coloring it artifcially and add
ing artificial essences, others and oils
to initiate the taste and appearance of
whisky. Such connections, Colonel
Thomas said, were unfit for human

The Woodpecker Tree.


California has many and varied
charms. Her climate, scenery, flow
ers and fruits are justly famous and
cannot be overlooked by the most I'M
observant traveller; but there, as else
where, are some curious and interest
ing things to be enjoyed only by the
keen.eyed.
One of these curious sights is the
Woodpecker Tree, at Miramer by the
sea. 1t is go called because the wood
peckers have drilled holes all over
the trunk and larger limbs, so close
together there does not seem to be
room for another hole. Into each
cavity they have inserted an acorn.
These bird-carpenters are so skilfu. in
fitting each acorn into its nest that it
is almost impossible to extract them.
For any other creature than man it is
entirely out of the question.
The tree is under strict police sur
veillance and woe betide the would
be feathered thief who attempts such
thing By some code of signals,
yet to be discovered, it is understood
that the woodpeckers are never all to
be absent from the tree at once. One
or more are a ways left on guard to
drive away intruders. The wood
peckers have certainly succeeded in
keeping all other members of the bird
kingdom out of the acorn business in
that vicinity.
Under those beautiful red feathers
there appears to be something, which
in man is called foresight. The acorns
are not intended for present, or even
future use, as food, but are left IN
disturbed until there matches out that
tid-bit OF bird diet-the grub.
Sometimes the housekeeper wonders
if it pays to spend the greater part of
two hours preparing dinner which
is eaten il fourth OF the time. If
that be so how Mrs. Woodpecker must
feel when she sees the result Of all her
patient drilling and watching go down
at single gulp.
