Diagram Of Sandy Road.

The diagram shows how a trouble
some sand hil was disposed Of, and a
new road opened mp last fall. The cut
was made about November !. and was
about Is rods long and five or six feet
deep. An appropriation OF $50 from
the town and about $50 OF sec in road
work was applied, and although the
hlll is improved considerably, Il is
still IN bad condition on account Of the
loose sand constantly drifting down
the sides and filling the road. Tho
work was done with tw0wheel
scrapers, one leyclor and four wagons.
The scrapers were used only on the
short hauls, and none OF the sand was
hauled more than 30 feet each way.
II right of way around the bill could
have been procured the cutting would
have been unnecessary. as It simply
needed levol'ng. and the grade would
have been about 10 feet lower. B

IRISH LAND MOVE
ANTICIPATING AGITATION WINS
TRIUMPH FOR PEAsANTRY.
Grass Lands Being Rapidly Restored
10 the People and Cattle
Grazing VIII Soon Be
No More.

This will be the last year Of the
grazier as a tenant OF the great grass
farms Of ireland, for both the land
lord and the cattleowner have at last
made up their minds that cattle
ranching IS a thing OF the past Thus
does the Irish peasantry score a tri'
umph and enter the last lap OF the
winning fight for the best OF the lands
Of tho Emerald isle. The land ques-
ton dates far back. It goes away TO
the DAYS OF oliver Cromwell, who in-
vaded the country and brushed back
the Irish. AS history relates. he told
them that they must 60 either to
warm place OF TO Connaught and 10
Connaught he drove them. The worst
curse the peasant can heap on his
enemy IS the curse of Cromwell ~ and
no matter where you find the battered
ruins Of a castle In the country you
hear that the masonry gave way under
the guns of the vandal Oliver Then
Cromwell was not always able to pay
his army in cash, so be made the sol
diers grants OF the lands that had
been conquered. and the officers
bought the share Of the privates for a
small consideration. Thus came into
being the Irish landlord.
The old stock Irish were driven TO
The western bogs and the stony noun
tain side. and there they remain until
his day. when a government depart
ment IS considering how they may be
taken away from their barren sur
roundlngs and planted on profitable
land. What Cromwell did not do the
landlord OF a few generations ago did.
The growing Of wheat and corn be-
came improbable. the raising Of cat
tie became vastly profitable There
fore the landlord drove his tenants
1n the good grass lands and turned
their holdings into grazing ranches
which be rented 10 cattlemen on an
II months lease. There came agita'
ton. then a congested districts board
to remove the dense bogland popula-
tons on to untenantod land. and there
came tho land purchase act, by which
the government is gradually purchas-
ing the agricultural districts and
banding them over 10 the people. who
will be government tenants until the
price IS paid on. the people getting
their farms from the state on the hire

bogland and the Improbable estate

DEWEY'S PROTEST.
Hero Of Manila Bay Would
Hold Philippines.
TO EXTEND OUR TRADE IN ORIENI
American Nation should Not shrink
From the Responsibilities IL As
sumed when II Took the
Islands From spain.


WASHINGTON, Sept 2i-Admiral
Dewey strongly resents the proposition
that has been discussed In a more OF
less academic manner TO surrender the
Philippines, which Of all men he was
a leading factor in bringing under the
American flag. In an interview the
admiral sets out clearly the reasons
which impel him to Insist upon the re-
tention OF the Islands. Singuarly
enough. in view Of the fact that the
admiral IS a man Of war by trade
the strong point Of his argument Is moi
based upon the military or naval i'm
portance Of the archipelago, but nj
most altogether upon the great value
present and prospective, Of the Philip
pines to America I'm the extension oi
our trade with the orient, which he re-
CARDS as holding out the best promise
Of commercial expansion. The admiral
says:
abandon the Philippines dom
believe our country VIII ever do that
Certainly It should not, because 1t ha'
altogether too much az stake. II Is
only our control over the Philippine.
that makes II possible for us 70 insls'
upon the open door in the enst, toward
which our diplomacy has been directed
for number Of years. We want ON
share Of the enormous commerce Of The
east and we can't keep the door oper
for II unless we hold the islands.
why did Spain for 200 years domi
nate the commerce Of the orientf JUS
because she had the bay and harbol
Of Manila ns a great commercial and
naval base. That base can be just al
useful to us commercially as It was e

Earth Worms and Their Work as Soil

Earth worms are not soil formers,
for they are seldom met with IN soils
that are destitute Of organic matter.
They are simply renoyators, and, as a
writer says. the richer the soil, and the
more It is manured. the more numer-
0us they are. Their action as soil
fertilizers consists In swallowing
earth, leaves or organic matter OF all
kinds, trituraung IL, converting II and
then eiecting It over the surface Of
the field. In this way they very soon
effect a complete inversion Of the soil
down 20 a certain depth, especially on
meadow land, which Is left undis-
turbed 70 their operation. They even
make additions TO the soil by bringing
up fresh matter from the subsoil
