When Rye Is a Nuisance.

Rye is an excellent crop for certain
use when grown by itself, but when
the grain becomes mixed with wheat
It is as bad as weeds and it is almost
impossible to separate them. This, of

wheat, in]uring the price for market
and the quality of the -four if taken to
the mill AS rye shoots up ahead of
the wheat the heads can easily be cut
off with a sickle before they ripen.
However. wheat should be carefully
cleaned before it is sown because tho
greatest possible care cannot prevent
more or less of the rye maturing with
he crop of wheat.

HOW THEY TURNED OUT.

Elijah Brown, the cobbler. was enamored
of the muse,
And all his time was given up to stanzas
and to shoes.
He scorned to live q tuneless life, in
gloriously mute.
And nightly laid his last aside to labor
at his Lutte;
For he had registered an oath that
lyrical renown
Should trumpet TO the universe the
worthy name of Brown.
And, though his own weak pinions failed
to reach the heights of song,
His genius Matched Il brilliant scheme to
help his VOW along;
And all his little youngsters as they nu-
merously came
He christened after poets in the Pantheon
Of fame.
That their poetic prestige might impress
them and inspire
a noble emulation to adopt the warbling
Tyre.
And Virgil Brown and Dante Brown and
Tasso Brown appeared.
And Milton Brown and Byron Brown and
Shakespeare Brown were reared.
Longfellow Brown and Schiller Brown
arrived at mans estate.
And Wordsworth Brown and Goldsmith
Brown filled up the family slate.
And he believed his gifted boys, predes.
tined to renown.
In time would roll the bowlder from the
buried name of Brown.
But still the epic is unsung, and still that
worthy name
Is missing from the pedestals upon the
hills of fame:
For Dante Browns peddler In the veg
etable line,
And byron Brown is delving at the bot
tom of a mine;
LongfelloW Brown, the lightweight, is a
pugilist of note.
And Goldsmith Browns a deck-hand ON
Mersey ferry boat.
In Wordsworth Brown Newcastle has an
estimable cop,
And Schiller Browns an artist in Lon
don BARRIERS shop;
A rowing tar is Virgil Brown upon the
bounding seas.
And Tasso Brown is usually engaged in
selling cheese;
The cobbler's bench is Milton Browns,
and there he pegs away,
And Shakespeare Brown cleans boots an'
shoes for eighteenpencs a day.

GOOD ROADS ARE, WANTED.
Prominent Men from All Section. of
the Country Are in Favor Of
Their Construction.

The adjournment of tho information.
al gooh roads convention at st. Louis
was marked by the adoption Of resolu-
fions recommending federal and state
aid in highway construction. It was
plainly the earnest intention of the
delegates to make political issue of
good public roads" and there is q
probability that both parties will in.
corporate appropriate clauses in their
platforms.
AS many Of the speakers said, in.
Guiding few from other countries.
the states on the American continent
ought to have the best highways in the
world. The material for construction
is at hand nearly everywhere; funds
are available If federal, state and coun.
ty authorities will act in concert. and
there should be no difficulty in obtain
ing labor at terms which would be
reasonable for this class of work
Public interests would derive benefit
from the employment Of convicts and
Migrants in bodybuilding; and there
does not appear any reason why this
system should injure any special in.
terests.
OF the many conventions which are
scheduled for this year, the good roads
convention is to be ranked as one of
thu most important. There are indi-
cations that the officers and commit
tees appointed will hasten the solution
of the problem. The purpose is to
make a political issue of the good
roads question, and it may be said that
the purpose is already accomplished
The senator's, representatives and gov
ernors who were present were among
the warmest advocates of good roads
A large majority of them urged fed.
eral and state aid.
Both parties should be induced to
incorporate definite clauses in their
platforms. Both parties should be in.
duced to pledge themselves to the idea
of federal cooperation in building in.
terstate highways and state roads
Within the various states both parties
should pledge state aid for the con.
struction of state roads, and wherever
it is possible, without seriously dis
turbing labor conditions. the parties
should ratify the suggestion for using
convicts and Migrants in the work.
The advantages of good public high
ways are many, as has been frequently
mentioned The crusade should result
in the construction throughout the
United States of the best public high.
ways in the world.-St Louis Re.

The vigor of the Redwood.

1t is reported that the redwood area
of California has been reduced to
about 1000 square miles. Most trees
grow so slowly that it takes hale
century or so to get marketable tree.
Not SO the redwood. In 30 years.
trees from sproItstwill attain height
OF 80 feet and reach a diameter of 16
inches. This means that a little pro-
tectioh to the redwood forests will give
the future generations al! the wood

Dustless Roads for France.

Dustless Roads for France.
The engineer for the Seine and ma.
rine departments in France reports
that trials of a mixture of oil and pe-
troleum as dust preventive have been
unsuccessful. In the summer of 1902
a coating of tar was tried on seven diff.
ferent lengths of road. After careful
investigation during period of 10
months, it was found that dust and
mud had wholly disappeared and the
cost of maintenance had been reduced.
The tar forms an elastic skin. which
deadens the sound of traffic and re-
duces the resistance. 1t appears that
the tarring method involves no great
err outlay than that for coating with
oil.
