Value of Good Roads.

Few people take correct view Of
the actual profit to farmers and busi-
ness men in general of good roads,
or how much they could afford to
pay for them. Is it not fact that in
some seasons for weeks together all
business in some rural communities
Is at a complete standstill caused by
the impossible condition of the roads,
and the loss incurred amounts to
millions of dollars annually, caused
by not marketing grain or other crops
in proper season, and to the mer-
chant, who finds his shelves filled
with unreasonable goods. - Weekly

New Gloves.

A new idea in long gloves is to
have the hand of kid and arm of silk
or lace or vice versa. The effect is
rather quaint, especially if the lace
on the arm be fine meshed, but when
the hand is of silk or lace and the
arm of suede or glace kid the en-
semble is good and tends to make
the hand appear smaller. The de-
mand for black gloves is on the in
crease. Black for gown or hat is
increasing all the time. Not to say,

it will be noticed that the saving per
bushel increases practically three

the price Of corn be as high as sew

by grinding would amount to little
over four cents per hushel.

system of Ear Marks for Stock

Where numbers of pure bred stock
are kept a system of individual mark
ing is desirable. IN the accompanying
Illustrations, the first column repre-
sents the key of all numbers. while
the second column represents the
units from one to ten. All numbers
below 100 are made by combination
of numbers /, 10, and 80, as shown
In the first four illustrations of the
first column. Begin numbering on the
right ear and it will be easy to remem-
Der that any number on the right ear,
IL placed in like place on the left
ear. will be multiplied by ten, thus.
one notch on the tip of the ear means
three, but If the notch is put in the
tip of the lift ear it means ten times
three or 80. This rule does not hold
good as to the notches in the points
of the ear. One notch in the point of
the right ear means ten and in the
point of the left 1000 The notches
are added together to make the final
number. Any one taking up this sys-
TEN of numbering will be aided IL
they draw a number of ears and mark
the notches with pencil for each pig
before making the notches and until
perfectly familiar with this system.
