coon ROADS.

We read mitch about the wonder
fully good roads Of European countries
highways like city pavements in Eng
sand, Italy. France and Germany. At
the same time little Is said about the
conditions which made such splendid
highways a possibility. The simple
fact is that they are an enduring monu-
ment to the ancient and ever present
pauperism and despotic militarism Of
those countries. The highway, which
as a military necessity Napoleon built
over the Alps, will last as long as his
fame as a military despot, land we in
America can have good roads to brag
on, on which Dives can drive his four
INLAND at three minute gait, just as
soon as % per cent Of the American
people are willing to work for 20 cents
q day to build them and keep them in
repair. In general way it is said
that good roads are an evidence Of q
high type Of human civilization, but
may the good Lord deliver us from
splendid highways Of Europe. We
have seen with our own eyes in Eu-
rope children not over six years Of
age picking the stones from the cult
waited fields and doing it for a wage
Of 4 cents a day, and we have seen
men sitting by the roadside breaking
these same stones with hand ham,
mer to earn enough to keep the breath
Of life in their miserable bodies. The
good roads of Europe are like the great
Chinese wall or the pyramids of Egypt
"a great public work, the product Of
forced and unrequited labor, cemented
in human blood. Here one half Of the
ablebodied men Of the country regard
their road poll tax as an imposition,
and the other half will drive round q
mudhole, rock or stump in the high
way for years after rather than make
patriotic effort to remove the OBJ
stacle and cuss the road supervisor
while they do it. Once give America a
vast standing army of soldiers and
paupers and good roads will follow as
natural sequence. We prefer the
mud and q broken axle once in awhile
to such conditions.

SORGHUM SIRCP.

Here and there through the country
may be found sorghum mill in opera
ton. Years ago sorghum strip was a
great thing, especially for the pioneer
settlers at time when it took a dollar
to buy four pounds Of brown sugar.
Then every man had his patch of sor-
ghum and put in his cellar two or
three barrels of strip. We used to
make preserves with it from the wild
fruits, sweetmeats which were counted
good enough for the minister when he
came to supper. Many used it to
sweeten their coffee, though it set up
such chemical reaction when thus
used that the coffee was better with
out 1t. Associated with buckwheat
cakes it is today a delicacy far better
than any Of the prepared sirups OF
commerce save the genuine maple
goods. 1t was great misfortune that
no plan could ever be devised for pre-
cipitating crystallized sugar from II.
for nothing would have fixed the ex.
tortions of the sugar trust so well.

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the missionary
who first introduced the reindeer into
Alaska, was an intimate friend Of the
writer many years ago, and the sue
cess which has followed this importa-
ton of a new breed Of animals into a
most inhospitable latitude is of special
interest. The first importation of nine
teen head has wonderfully increased in
number and has demonstrated remark
able adaptation to Alaskan conditions.
1t is estimated that In less than twen-
ty-five years there will be million Of
these valuable animals In that coun-
try, not only affording a most reliable
means of sustenance and transporta-
ton to the natives, but a valuable
source of meat supply for the Ameri-
can people. Then there will be fancy
cheese, robes, smoked venison and
other delicacies, and all produced from
Alaskan moss.

WINTER CARE OF THE ORCHARD.
The winter care Of the orchard should
receive attention. The grass and weeds
should be carefully removed from
around the base Of the trunks Of the
trees down to bare ground, SO that the
mice may be prevented from building
nests and girdling the bark Of the tree
during the winter. All trees under five
years setting in orchard should be pro-
tected with something, either wooden
shield or wire netting, or wrapped with
paper or gunny sack. in order to pre-
vent the rabbits from girdling them.
1t is not best to pillow the orchard in
the fall; better to leave grass and
weeds or stalks for sort Of winter
protection to catch the snow and hold
it in place. The winter is good time
to haul the manure out and fertilize
the trees, something which all trees Of
bearing age should have done to them
once in three or four years The win
ter is not a good time to prune the
trees. This work is better done in late
May or early June, when the sap Is
flowing and the wounds are readily
and quickly healed.

The winter blue grass pasture should
come into more general use where this
valuable grass will grow. Such pas
ture can be easily obtained by keeping
the stock off it from the list Of July I'M
til the middle Of November, when
there will be thick mat Of the grass
covering the ground. Sheep and horses
will then live and do well on such pas
ture, provided the snow does not get
too deep or crusted for them to get at
1t. 1t is no place for the milk COW,
however. She will do better in a warm
barn, with plenty Of silage.

The acreage of a farm one would
naturally suppose to be one of the least
elastic things in nature but experience
proves II to be one of the most elastic
in a certain way. We know men
whose fields undergo a wonderful
shrinkage and expansion during the
crop season These fields expand In
area during the blowing, seeding and
reaping season, but contract nightly
when the thrashing machine COM
mences work on their years crop. We
know of one field which this year has
varied as much as 20 per cent, when
IT was the subject of comment by the
owner as to how many acres he had
plowed and reaped in day in the
summer as against the yield per acre
credited by him to the same field In
the fall. Figures won't lie, perhaps,
but some old grangers can do some
funny things with them.

A friend writes inquiring whether
the sparrow pest will ever be abated.
We think not. These birds are here to
stay. They are hardy, persistent, pro-
life and have but few natural enemies,
save cats and hailstorms. Up to date
they are rather a nuisance than q seri-
Gus damage, but they may very easily
so increase in number that their raids
on grainfelds will result In serious
loss. In England, where these birds
are much more plentiful than here, the
cats have acquired what is known as
the sparrow habit-the knack Of crawl
ing on the coping and cornice of build
ings in search of the nests and the
young birds, and thus the cat becomes
the most reliable means Of keeping the
birds in check.

We look some day to see the yield Of
corn in the corn belt almost doubled
on the present acreage. The time is
coming when the average corn grower
will not be satisfied with thirty-flve
bushels an acre when he knows that
he can just as well raise seventy-fve.
These thirty-five bushel fellows are
getting uneasy now, and when the full
light of modern corn culture is turned
on them they will get move on them
selves.

Cheap money and low interest rates
bid fair to prevail for some time to
come. A per cent security is looked
upon as a pretty good investment. AS
the assessor will get part Of this, the
money lending business Is not the snap
IT once was. Any good farmer can
make more than that by putting his
money into land and cultivating the
soil 1t is well it is SO.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.

The regulation of the matter Of trans
portation is the most important mat
ter which the American people have
to deal with in the near future. This
thing is of greater Importance than
the tariff, the race question or the for
eign policy of the government. The
economic necessities Of railway trans
portation are compelling centraliza-
ton of interests, merging Of roads,
which results in investing the few men
who control the merged interests with
an almost despotic power over the ag-
ricultural, commercial and manufacture
ing interests, a power which the Amer
lean people will never consent to have
exercised, no matter how benevolently
welded, independent of government
control. A trifiing matter of freight
rates in these days Of sharp COMPETE
ton determines the question of profit
or loss for the farmer, the merchant
and manufacturer. Government own
ership Of the roads is practically out Of
the question, but government control
of them is not. The people Of the coun-
try will hold the party in power to a
strict accountability on this matter.
It is amply proved that the freight re-
bate is always trust begetter and
trust builder, and it is rightly demand
ed that this wrong shall be righted.
Men may succeed or fail in business en-
terprises conditioned on hundred diff
ferent business factors, but they should
never be allowed to succeed or fail be-
cause Of an unfair or inequitable
freight rate.

An egg is never quite so good as the
day it is laid, an apple or peach is
never so good as when picked ripe from
the tree, a fish is never so good as
when first taken from the water, butter
is never so fine as when right from the
churn, but a pear, banana, beef, NUT
ton and all game, cheese and many
other edibles need curing for a longer
or shorter time, as the case may be.

fertility of soil Is more than supple
mented and compensated by the most

A friend wishes to know If barn
built on a hill is more likely to be
struck by lightning than one built on
lower ground. While the peaks OF
mountain ranges are more frequently
struck than the objects down in the
valleys, the difference in elevation on
the average farm between the highest
and the lowest points would probably
make no difference. We have known
lightning to strike fence post and
miss tree close by. Electricity is the
most erratic element in nature. We
have known it to kill dog lying un-
der the stove and not spill the soup
kettle on top, which fact seemed to in
dictate that at times it is possessed of
much intelligence.

II it is not possible to thoroughly
drain that low spot in the middle Of
the cultivated field it is every way bet
ter to have an acre on SO Of good hay
land there than to boggle it up year
after year with the pillow, wearing your
horses out and raising nothing but a
crop Of smartweed, sorrel, devils
pitchforks and rosin weed. Such land
will grow good timothy and If not too
wet the best of alsike clover We
noted case last summer where a man
had planted his corn the whole length

pillow his corn he had three breaks In
the field where he had to turn, being

out miring them. This is agricultural

A man in the corn belt started twelve
years ago without dollar save a
team and limited farm equipment Of
machinery as renter on an eighty
acre farm. He had made study Of
corn and set out to raise the best and
the most corn possible. He succeeded
in getting a yield Of so to 100 bushels
per acre, while his neighbors had to
content themselves with thirty or forty
bushels. He now owns the farm which
he rented, has modern farm home, is
out of debt and on Easy street for the
rest Of his life, and what he has found
out about corn is rated by his neigh
bors to be worth as much to them as
any information which the agricultur-
al colleges can give. When man gets
so that he can raise this much corn to
tine acre there is not very much more
for him to learn about corn.
