How Long Ostriches Live.

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich will live. Some
writer's claim that it will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty years
are still breeding and producing
feathers.
1t is the experience Of Arizona
farmers that among birds having
good nutritious green feed deaths
seldom occur, except as the result OF
accident. A dog or other small ami
NAL will sometimes brighten ostriches
and cause them to run into the fence.

A Long Root.

An Irishman, with one Jaw very
much swollen from tooth that he
VASE 1 to have pulled. entered the
oIice OF Washington dentist
When the suffering Get was put
into the char & nd saw the cleaning
foroeps approaching his face, he posi-
lively refused to open mis- mouth.
Being a man of resource, the dentist
quietly instructed his assistant to
push a pin into the patients leg, so
tina; when the Irishman opened his
mouth to yell the dentist could get
at the refractory molar.
When all was over, the dentist
smilingly asked:

pected, did it,"

the patient. But" he added, as he
ran his hand over the place into
which the assistant had inserted the
pin, little did l think them roots

Must Have News, Too.

Tackle the average farmer on the
subject of National, State or local
politics, and you will find him much
better posted than the average city
man. You will find that he is always
ready to give a reason for his politi-
cal beliefs. He is not the sort of q
man that waits for some politician
to tell him what way he should vote.
He reads. ponders and does heap
of thinking"
He may subscribe for an agricul-
tural paper, but he cannot get from
that the political pabulum he hank
ers" for. He must have his political
weekly: his newspaper" which he
diligently reads and digests. and he

Making Railroads Smoother.

The fact that within the past twen-
ty years two-thirds Of the uneven
ness in railroad tracks has been done
away with on certain lines was dis
cussed at recent meeting of the
American Academy Of Sciences.
The improvement has been brought
about principally through new de-
signs and methods of manufacture
OF rails. A track indicator" car,
travelling twenty or thirty miles an
hour, sums up the inequalities, the
ups and downs" in toe rails for
each mile traversed. Formerly the
total inequality" per mile amounted
to six or seven feet, even for the best
roads; now it has been reduced to
only eighteen or twenty inches, and
this remnant is said to be due to
dents in the rails.
1t has been pointed out that the
improvement, which may be carried
farther, brings with 1t heavier loco
motives and cars, longer trains and
higher speed.

Volcanic Fertilizers,

That there is a silver lining to
every cloud, DR.. Stoklasa, professor
at the Technical High School at
Prague, again proves in the results Of
his tests in connection with the late
eruption of Mount Vesuyius. In fact,
according to his calculations, the era
ter has thrown out upward of fifty
milliard kilos of volcanic mud, sand,
lava, ashes, ETC., upon the surround
ing ground. These, he estimates,
contain an average of at least OIL
per cent nitrogen in the form of am
monia. The mountain has conse-
quentlv produced about fifty million
kilos of fertilizer, representing more
ammonia and nitrous acid than is
used in the whole of England He

Of potassium phosphate and other fer

stantly rising from the mouth of Ve-

no need whatever Of artificial fertil-

New York sets good example to

Good roads are always a good in

moreover. The value of farm lands
contiguous to the improved highways
will be increased from IS to 50 an
acre. Thus the outlay will put
well as render their transportation
facilities better, reduce the cost of
sending their products to market and
make life more pleasant by stimulat-
ing social relations among neighbors.
Not only will the farmers be bene-
tied, for with the system OF roads it
will be possible for automobiles to
ravel in any part of the State.
New York's plan Is to provide for
t5O,OO0,000 of the expense by a
State bond issue. The remainder Is
to be borne by the counties. The re-
turns undoubtedly will justify the ex-
penditures. Look at France. That
country has spent $30O.000.000 in
highway construction in recent years.
It was one Of the most profitable in
restments France ever made.
Good roads are bound to pay. No
State can lose money spent on them.

tan State-and why not Kentucky?

Prizes For Roadmakers.

So successful has proven the
scheme of the Toronto Automobile
Club to award prizes for the i'm
provement of the roads that it has
been decided to extend it. An addi-
tlonal 5000, raised by subscriptions
from the members, will be offered in
prizes to pathmasters and road COM
missioners. 1t was thought well to
start competition among them, as
the work in connection with the
original competition will require con-
siderable attention from them. The
prizes are divided into two classes
In municipalities where the road
commissioner has charge of all the
roads in the municipality the club
will offer three prizes, a first of $50,
and two second prizes of s25 each
Tor the road commissioner whose nlu-
nicipality shows the greatest amount
Of Improvement in connection with
the original competition. In mu-
inequalities where the work is in
charge of pathmasters, each respon-
sible for his own beat, the club will
offer first prize OF $50 and two Sec
ond prizes Of $25 each for the path
masters in the municipalities who
enter their beats in the road COM

provement in the"roads which are
entered in the competition. The
rules to govern the main COMPETE
ton have just been settled as fol-
lows:
The prizes shall consist of a first
prize OF $500, a second prize Of 5000
ind third prize of 500.
They will be awarded for the piece
of roadway, mile in length, on
which the greatest Improvement is
made by July 1, 1907.
