suggestions Which Indiana Farmer
Makes 40 to Their Construction.

Here are a few suggestions as to
building roads about farm premises.
Under no circumstances throw up any
grade. Stake of your road and place
your road material on the surface;
do not disturb the edges. If drain
age is absolutely necessary, use tile;
place from six to eight feet beyond
your road bed, Ak yards of good
gravel or broken stone; this will make
one rod Of good enough farm road
Use no bowlders or other coarse ma
terial, as coarse stun will be worked
to the top by freeze and jar. The
road should be Ave or six inches
higher in the center than at the edges.
I would use fine gravel or very coarse
sand; if sand is used, it should be of
sharp grit, and free from dirt; it will
require more attention to keep in
place for awhile than gravel, but will
In time make the finest driveway, and,
unless you have considerable heavy
hauling, it is to be preferred to all
other roads. Rocks of any size will
be always shufling about, and a
source of annoyance; especially is
this the case where you wish to use
a lawn mower. A road of this kind is
easily kept clean, and the edges soon
set to grass. have seen a line Of
powders laid for edges; to my mind
this is great mistake; it makes a
place for weeds, and cannot be kept
clean only by hand wedding. Every
winter the freeze loosens the rocks,
and it is a tedious job to replace your
sand and gravel every spring.
:" Another objection to this form of
road is that you cannot readily drive
On or off. Cinders make fairly good
barn lot road, but has this objection,
the cinders cut up and stick to your
feet, and vehicle. tires, and the last
ing qualities are not so great as good
sand, gravel, or broken stone. Brick
bats, broken tile, and other coarse
material should never be used.
e The best time to build roads, as
spoken of here, is in the spring or
early summer; they set more readily
to grass, and are not exposed to freeze
until they have time to settle. will
say again, never make a grade, il it
is possible to prevent doing so, and in
cases where grades cannot be avoided
recollect that, as a rule, it is cheaper
to build hill than it is to cut one
down; it is harder to keep cut in
order than it is to keep up fill. A
ill set once in grass is practically
done for all time to come, whilst a
cut is a continued source of annoy
ance by sliding in and filing in side
bitches and washing your grade.

FARMING PAYS.
1t Does When the Right Kind Of Meth.
DDS, Are Used.

A man the other day asked us if
it would not have been carried on
ircm the beginning of the world But
t does not pay with all men, and the
lumber that do not make it pay is
now very large. If farming. is to pay
the conditions must be favorable, just
as they must be for any other enter
prise. There is no kind of occupation
tI'at will pay if badly handled. Some
of the greatest money-making enter
pcises in the world have proved of no
benefit to the men tt 1t went into
them half prepared to succeed.
The mental equipment counts for
much these days. If the man that
owns farm does not know how to
take advantage of all the conditions
that arise he is more than likely to
make a good many. moves that will
return him no profit The question of
brains is great one on the modern
farm of to-day. Fortunately the facil-
tiles for acquiring brain force were
never better than now, and the man
that does not increase this commod-
ity is not doing what he can to
strengthen his business. ..1.
Farming pays good profits to-day if
the farmer knows how to farm, say s
Farmers Review. The competition is,
however, SO strong that he will find it
more difficult than ever to make liv-
ing by the old methods. The men
that are studying and putting in mod
ern methods and modern equipment
are crowiing out the farmer that still
goes on In the way he learned from
his grandfather. The number of the
wrecks coming from this class of
farmers is increased by the fact that
most of them never take an agricul-
tural paper and do not know that
their methods are leading to bank
.uptcy. The reading, thinking, work
ing farmer is finding that farming
,ays.

We're destroyed by the fire of the war

reinforcements Of tribesmen came up
and many of them were killed or
wounded. The Casa Blanca battery
joined in the firing on the foreign war
ships, whereupon the guns OF the
French and Spanish cruisers were
turned on the battery. which soon
caused the Moorish commander to
send messenger to the French ad-
miral requesting his pardon. This
was refused and the admiral sent g
peremptory order to the Moorish COM
mander to surrender himself to the
French consul
According to another special dis
patch from Tangier about $50 MooSs
are reported to have been killed in
the town and villages around Casa
Blanca during the bombardment by
the foreign warships. The Casa
Blanca battery was reduced to ruins
by the warships' shells.
