ROAD REPAIRING.
How the Road Problem Has Been
Solved Successfully III One Coun-
ty in Indiana

There is vast amount Of money spent
each year in maintaining the roads of
the country. This money is too often
spent with small consideration OF the
important question OF how to get the
most for the outlay The time is sure to
ccme when there will be wiser plan for
d!sbursing the millions that are so free
ly given by the people to improve their
roadways.
In certain county in Indiana the
people were agreeably surprised at the
outcome of an experiment, or rather an
innovation, writes G.. NJ. Ginther, in
Farm and Fireside. 1t had always been
the custom in the township to elect
farmers to the Office OF road director, or
supervisor. Notwithstanding there
was an abundance of excellent gravel
close at hand. the roads were in bad con-
dition. So bad had they become that a
number of places were actually impassa-
BILE at time when such condition
Should not in any reason have prevailed
How the idea started is not known, but
the word was passed around that a
change was desired in the kind of man to
be voted for Farmers had always held
the office. but the idea was presented
that it would be fair to consider men,
Der OF some other class or profession as
being eligible to the place Consequent
~, after much planning a physician
with an experience OF 80 years practice
was selected as the candidate for the
place. He was elected, and at once as
sumed his new duties. He declared that

iir1 That Blooms In the SPRING

Flower hats are much liked, but the
good ones come high. We saw a beau
tiful one the other day made entirely of
white lilacs. It looks now as though
white hats were again to be the thing
for dressy wear, though many beau
tiful costume hats are shown. The
queer little round ones worn over the
face and with a lot of trimming
punched at the back will be popular
for street wear.
Pongee gowns are growing in popu>
larity; the coming season will be a
pongee and mohair period; and both
are admirable warm weather fabrics.
White cream pongees are selling for
waists. and of these very lovely and
at the same time serviceable waists
are built up. There is no more becon.-
ing white material, and none that
wears better.
Ruches Of silk baby-ribbon come in
different colors and are very pretty,
but not so dainty as the white or
cream ruche. A very dainty one of
the latter sort we noticed the other
day, one that could be made at home
easily and for a farthing. Make a
double ruffle of finest. softest null,
the usual width Of the ruche sold in
the stores, sew into band, wear at
both neck and wrist This is becom-
ing to young and old alike.

"AUTOS" IN ASTRONOMY.
Motor Cars Fitted Up with Accessories
for Taking Observations Of
New Stars.

In an article in La Nature, NJ.
Touchet tells us that automobiles are
now being used by astronomers, and
he speaks of the new vehicles as "au.
tomobile observatorles.' It appears
that they are being fitted up with
all the accessories necessary for
astronomers who wish to make a spe.
cial study of shooting stars.
Balloons have been tried for tho OBJ
servation Of these stats, but the results
obtained are not satisfactory, and it is
believed that the automobiles are des-
tined to render great services.

FREQUENT SPRAYINCS.
Advice for the Orchardist Which
Should Be Followed as He Begins
the Fighting of Insect Pests.

1he novice in spraying cannot afford
TO be so careless about his sDrayings
that he will miss the end for which he
is working. Neither should he try to
get along with the fewest possible num-
Der OF sprayings. The best sprayers
have indeed reduced the number to the
minimum. but they are experienced
men that have learned to make every
spraying count for the most possible.
In many cases it has been found that
so far as the orchard is concerned, four
sprayings in spring give the greatest re-
turns, while spraying every two weeks
from the middle of April to the middle of
August give the greatest proportion of
perfect fruit, says the Farmers Review.
The additional sprayings cost more than
the additional fruit is worth. as a gen
eral thing
Taking ALI things into consideration,
the method that will pay the best con-
sists in spraying the trees as soon as the
blossoms fall and then every two weeks
till four sprayings have been given. The
sprayings must be we'll done if they are
to be of any value. Slipshod work will
not prove effective in preventing the
ravages of insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is never
profitable. 1t requires mature judgment
and thoroughness to do the work as it
should be done.

Business over, D'ri took down his
fiddle, that hung on the wall, and made
the strings roar as he tuned them.
Then he threw his long right leg over
the other, and, as he drew the bow,
his big foot began to pat the floor a
good pace away. His chin lifted, his
fingers flew, his bow quickened, the
notes seemed to T;hirl and scurry,
light-footed as rout OF fairies. Mean
while tho toe of his right boot counted

Then his thoughts were quick, his

Of joy. He would lean forward, sway
ing his head, and shouting "Yip!" as
the bow hurried. D'ri. was hard
working man, but the feel of the fid-
die warmed and limbered him from
toe to finger He was over-modest,
making light OF his skill if he ever
sroke OF it, and had no ear for COM

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Manufactures at the Fair.

One OF the important features Of the
state fair OF 1905 will be the depart
ment of Minnesota Manufactures This
year the exhibit will be broadencd in
order that all Minnesota manufacturers
may take space aud exhibit their prod
ucts, although preference will be given
for ''live exhibits" that is, exhibits
showing process of manufacture, either
OF the entire article or of some part of
the goods exhibited.
This decision is the result of a recent
conference between William E. Lee,
superintendent of the manufactures
building, and committee of the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
tion.
The association will cooperate with
Mr.: Lee in bringing out a good show,
and it is expected that the building
will be we'll filled with interesting and
instructive exhibits. No charge is
made either for space or power, and
each exhibitor will be furnished with
FREQ admission to the fair grounds for
himself and the person in charge of
the exhibit. At night the building
will be we'll lighted, and it is expected
that no less than $500 people will
visit it during fair week. This will
offer an exceptional opportunity to
manufacturers to bring their goods to
the attention of the people of the
Northwest.

A New Industry.

A business comparatively new to
northern Minnesota is the getting out
of ships timber for the building of
ocean vessels at Atlantic points The
industry started but a few years ago
in this state aud is increasing with
each year, because timber of the pro-
per sort is lacking in the states to the
east. E. c. Edgerly, representing a
shipbuilding firm at Auburn, Maine,
says:
''We lido not bother with the mast
and regular long construction timber,
but devote our attention to getting out
corner braces and for this purpose it
is necessary to use the roots of trees,
the main trunk, aside from foot OF
two at the butt, not being called into
use at all Tamarack is best suited for
the purpose, and as the stumps of trees
are as suitable as the trees themselves,
provided the roots are intact, there is
an almost unlimited field here in Min
nesota for us to work in. All we have
to do is to follow in the tracks of the
tie cutter and use what they leave.
The stump, or a portion of it; is taken
from the ground, and the crooked
piece is then hued into shape, later be-
ing hauled to a railroad and shipped to
Auburn. Maine, where it goes through
a planning mill and is made ready for

Faded shades are approved by the

the vivid tones. A coral red is trying
to make headway, and has been adopt

The stout woman will retain the
plain gored skirt. fitting closely about
the hips, but effort is being made to
Introduce for the slender woman the

So far the effort has not met with
much success, but it will not be long,
We think, ere there will be a decided
return to gathers that ripple from the
belt. Fullness at the bottom, a grent
deal of it, is seen on all skirts of the
day; it takes yards and yards of ma
terial now that voluminous petticoata
and big sleeves reign.
The rage for the old-fashioned az.
fects things generally: jewelry set in
fiat manner is worn by those that
can get hold Of the truly old; velvet
bands with jeweled buckles are worn
on the wrists, and the elbow-sleeve of
the day calls for a return of the brace
let. Just one bracelet is seen. and it
may be of any style, any period. Gar
net. jewel beloved of our grandmoth-
ers, is in high esteem; we noticed a
very beautiful necklace recently OF
garnet beads having for pendant a
cross of garnets. Ransack old boxes
and drawers and see if you have not
something to bring forth for this old
time loan exhibition.
The bolero coat is very much to ths
fore. One sees it in cloth, silk and lace. It
is to be worn not only as dressy ad-
dition to costume, but as spring
and summer wrap. We do not re-
member ever before having noticed
such a variety of bolero designs.
Covert coats are lined nowadays. and
so made that glimpses of the lining
are displayed.
Linen is to be immensely popular,
and many accessories are made Of
this material we once never should
have dreamed of using. Linen gir

Dairy Facts.

Indiana has little over 100 cream
cries.
Minnesota has little over 800 cream
cries.
The importation of Australasian but
ter into England doubled last year
over the former year.
Little profit should be expected from
cows kept in uncomfortable quarters
and fed on unbalanced rations.
The few cows ON every farm are the
ones that produce the vast amount of
butter and milk used by the American
people.
The average COW under the average
conditions is money loser. She does
a little better under the best of con-
ditiops.
The amount of butter manufactured
in Minnesota last year increased about
100000 pounds over the amount made
the preceding year. 1
The dairyman should be more exact !
ing as to the quality of the cows he
keeps. He is keeping too many scrubs
at the present time. !
Pick out every calf that promises to
make good dairy COW and raise her
Such calves are worth more to the dairy
than they are for veal.

EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY.
How . Kentucky zTimber1and Owner
Has Culled Again and Again and
Still Has Timber to Sell.

An interesting example of the profit
ableness of conservative forest manage
ment in this country is furnished by DR..
S. B. Caldwell. of Paducah, KY, who
has dealt in timberlands in the south
western part OF the state for 81
years. I'm 1847." says DR.. Caldwell. Il
sold timber from tract OF land at one
dollar an acre, the purchaser having the
privilege Of removing what he wanted
and leaving what he did not want. He
TOOK the choice trees, but left consider
able amount standing. In 1870 l sold
the timber from the same tract and got
1or 1t two dollars tree. The purchaser
removed an average OF three trees per
acre. In 1884 sold the timber from the
same tract for the third time. and got for
II as much as / had received az the sec

Or. CaldWells experience in the woods
Taught him long ago the wisdom of con-
serVatlve forest management Thirty
years ago when he came into possession
OF tract of about 100 acres near Pa
ducah, he sold quantity of the timber
IN THIS country was virtually unknown
Dr. Caldwell, however, was sufficiently
1oreslghted TO allow no trees to be cut
except those which he selected. He went
about in the woods and picked out trees
whose tops and general appearance
showed they had passed their period of
greatest vigor: and trees which inter-
Tered with promising young growth.
HIS forest has been culled a number of
times IN the past go years. but so wisely
mas the cutting been done that to-day the
land will average from 10000 to $4,000
board feet per acre. This was an expert
ment in forestry which has amply jus,I-
ned itself. and shows how a shrewd,
1ar-slghted man may, even without tech
nlcal advice, secure good returns from
MS woodland without impairing its pro-
ductive value and while putting himself
IN position TO profit by the steady rise
which is taking place in timber values.

with hardships. wonder that some
days We had the heart to press on.
More than all. l wonder that the frail
body OF my mother was equal to 1t.
But l am writing no vain record of en-.
durance. I have written enough to
suggest what moving meant in the
wilderness. There is but one more
color in the scenes of that journey.
The fourth day after We left Chateau

suddenly there IN the deep woods. We
We're far from any village, and sorrow
slowed our steps. We pushed on, COM
lnS soon to a sawmill and small set
tlement. They told us there was
neither minister nor undertaken with
IN 40 miles. My father and D'ri made
the coffin Of planed lumber, and lined
1t with deerskin, and dug the grave on
top Of high hill. When all was
ready, my father, who had always been
much given to profanity. albeit know
he was kindly and honest man with
no ilreverence in his heart, called D'ri
aside.
"D'ri," said he, "ye We alwus been

his faded hat, his brow wrinkling deep.

a new fashion with aban-
don. We usually modify the French
designs to suit our own ideals of
dress. =
The designs here shown are not ex-
treme, but are distinctively Partisan.
The tailor gown is of reseda cloth,
and trimmed with stitchings of dark
er green. The vest of the soft pale
green silk fastens with small steel
buttons: the collars and cuffs are Of
black taffeta, and this touch of black,
giving character to the costume, is i
French touch. The black has the long
plated amazone basque, and bretelles
of stitched cloth extend over the shoul-
der and staper to the waist. j. For
summer wear, vests, collar and cuffs
may be one of the coarse embroidered
linens which are to be used a great
deal the coming season for this pur-
pose.
The dressier toilet is soft cloth of
pastel gray. The full corsage is of
gray taffeta, the high corselet of the
cloth trimmed with gray silk "galon." :"
The gallon trims the front panel of
the skirt, and borders the band of
taffetA near the bottom of the skirt.
Note the hats worn with these cos
tunes: the soft sl0uching one with
the tailor suit whose trimmings is a
soft draped ribbon about the band,
with, ut one side we'll toward the front,
a great rose made of ribbon. The
other hat is the much dented sort.
worn low and trimmed at the back
with fluffy tips.
Ribbon is now having great vogue,
and the trimming employed on the hat
with the tailor suit is prime favorite,
the single large rose made of shaded
ribbon. Shaded ribbons, as we'll as
shaded silk gowns. are to be affected
by well-dressed women this year.
Mark we'll the sleeves Of the after
noon toilet: the fashionable ,puffed
elbow sleeve, the undersleeve of white
sheer material, gathered at the hand
into pretty frill and bound there
with band of velvet the shade of
the trimming.
