BELGIAN HARES.
The Low Prices of the Animals
Points an Important
Lesson.

Passing a Chicago meat market re-
sently, the writer noticed sign that
read: Two Belgian Hares for %
Cents" 1t was above great pile of
the animals. This points a lesson. A
few years ago the eXploiters of the
Belgian hares at fancy prices were de-
claring that the time would not come
when Belgian hares would not bring
several dollars each. Multitudes of
people went into the raising of the ami
mails with the belief that all they pro-
duced could be sold at high figures
In vain their friends warned them that
in the natural course of events Belgian
hare meat would come down to the
level of other edible meat. At that
time no argument was effective. Mil
lions of the animals were raised and
little by little appeared on the mar
kets, where the producers found that
they had to sell them at about the
price Of rabbit"
No boom of any kind of stock can
last Indefinitely The high prices
themselves stimulate the producing of
enough animals to bring down the
prices to the level prevailing in other
lines. This fact should be remembered
in the producing of any kind of live
stock.-Farmers' Review.

other Half in Front.

They had finished the parish tea and
the curate stood up to say few words
to the recipients before they dispersed.
He spoke in eloquent terms of the i'm
pecuniosity of curates in general and
then went on to say in apparently
touching tones: why, even as
stand before you now I have only half
a shirt to my back" A few days later
the reverend gentleman received par
eel containing half dozen new shirts,
accompanied by card bearing the
name of one of his fair parishioners.
At the earliest opportunity he called
upon the lady and thanked her for her
gift and then proceeded to ask what
had prompted the kind action. why"
she replied, you told us the other
night that you only had half shirt
to your back "True," answered he,
"but the other hale was in 'front.'

A "Tramp" Geyser.

Everybody has heard of the famous
geysers of the Yellowstone region, and
many know their peculiarities A
guide was showing one of these gey-
sers to party of travellers.

tramp geyser."
why tramp geyser?" asked a
member of the party.

SOAP he rejoined, with grim smile.

The visitor followed the guides sug-
gestion, and found the point of the
joke in the violent ebullition which
followed. 1t is popularity of some
of these geysers that throwing a cake
of soap into them causes them to burst
at once into fit of ungovernable fury.

DISEASE OF LETTUCE.
Plants in the South Being Attacked
by Peculiar Disease Known
as "Damping-O

Much lettuce in the south and under
glass in northern states is suffering
from a peculiar disease known as
"damping off," In the Carolinas and
Florida it is particularly bad this win
ter. One correspondent from Florida
says the Ohio Farmer reports that rs
per cent. of his crop is affected, while
others have lost their entire planting.
Our present knowledge of methods for
treating this disease in field, cold frame
or dollhouse culture is very unsatisfac-
tory. The latest information, by DR.. A.
F. Woods, chief of the division of path
ology, United States department of ag-
riculture, is given below.
The damping-off or rot of lettuce is
very hard to control. We can only rec
ommend thatyou take all possible pre-
cautions to kpp the spreading of the
disease. WIZ only accomplished by
the direct grcRth of the fungus through
the soil and b. means Of bits of the fun
gus carried ON plows or cultivators, or
by the feet OF men from one part of the
field to another. Remove all diseased
plants in the early stages of the trouble,
together with the surface soil under
meath them. These plants and the earth
around them should be carried from the
field and burned.
When lettuce is grown in cold frames
or greenhouses. the return of the dis
ease can be effectually prevented by
sterilizing the soil, which is usually &C
complished by means OF live steam ia
ken from high-pressure boiler. Unless
some similar method can be adopted to
field culture, the only means that can be
employed to prevent recurrence of the
disease in the next crop is to use fresh
land not previously planted to lettuce and
to take much care that the seed-bed is
free from the trouble, as we'll as to avoid
infection from old fields. The disease
requires further study, especially with
respect to practical methods of control.

AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.
Plan by Which Good Roads May Be
Secured in the Country-Extracts
from Paper by Martin Dodge.

In a paper read before the American
Roadmakers' congress Mr.. Martin
Dodge, of Washington, D. c., said:
Many people are alarmed in conse-
quence of the concentration of wealth
and population in the great cities, but
few seem to appreciate the effect this
has in the rural districts. 1t is doubt
full whether anything can be done to
interfere with the great economic law,
which tends toward concentration OF
numbers, wealth and power in the
great cities. But something can be
done to offset the loss which has fall
len on the rural districts, by reason of
the great change in wealth and popu-
lation, manifested within the last gen.
Grafton.
Zone of the chief cornerstones upon
which every great city is founded is
cheap transportation; not only for long
distances over both land and water,
but also in the city itself, by reason
Of paved streets and vehicles propelled
by inanimate power. The country
lacks this important element, cheap
transportation. The vehicle propelled
by animal power, proceeding over a
common country road, is about as eXA
pensive as it was so or 100 years ago
1t still costs by that means ten cents
for passengers per mile and % cents
a ton for freight.
1T is the lack of cheap transporta-
ton mainly for which country people
suffer. The remedy for this is to i'm
prove public highways at public ex.
pense. When our agricultural people
were first approached with the propo-
sition that highways should be perma-
nently improved. they generally resist
ed because they supposed the entire
cost of Improvement. would fall upon
their shoulders. according to the gen
orally prevailing custom. But since
they have been assured this burden
will be shared by others. and that a
state fund will be raised from which
a portion of the cost will be paid. and
that this sum may be supplemented by
an appropriation by the national gov
eminent in aid Of permanent road
surely turning from an adverse to a
favorable attitude on the general prop
osition.
'By the proposed plan, which is so
rapidly gaining in favor throughout
the country and in the halls of con-
gress. We will have the concentrated
wealth in the great cities assisting the
farmers to improve highways in the
rural communities. Many hands make
light work, and what was too heavy
for the farmer to bear alone. will be
easily carried when the cost is justly
distributed"

Side bitches for Roads.

Side bitches carry off surface water
and should be so constructed as to per-
form this work as rapidly as possible.
They need not necessarily be deep, but
should have broad, flaring sides, so they
will not fill up rapidly. Sometimes it is
necessary in passing that vehicle be
driven bodily into ditch. If this is fat
