~FHAT deeds were theirs the soldier dead
" Of Dixie, what heroic deeds
Upon thousand battle meads
sIhat quaked beneath their martial treadl
What hearts were theirs what hearts of hope
That urged them to doom's eclipse
To lie with cold and bloodless lips
On sodden plain or purple slopel
What valor theirs and all for naughtl
What knighty, high devoted souls
Upbore them bravely toward the goals
Where only wreck at last was wrought
Call Lees battalions back today,
Their whited phantoms from the past
And mark the eager heroes massed
And marshaled into lines of gray!
And, harkl Along the moving lines,
The stoutest foeman to appaIl,
The rebel YELL the southland's call,

HINTS ON
 PUBLIC ROADS U. $. Office of Public Roads Off, fers Some Practical
 Suggestions.

I = try of the old world, they have not been as loyally supported as the men of those countries in maintaining the highways after completion, and the deplorable state Of many hundred thousand miles of road is thus accounted for. County and township off, cials may at the outset stand the expense of having a road built, but they strenuously object when asked to provide funds to rebuild the road that has been allowed to go to ruin.
 It IS important that farmers learn of the benefits to be derived from good earth roads; that county boards be impressed with the seed of proper maintenance ot the same, and that road builders and overseers learn how best to care for the roads in their charge.
 The persistent and powerful enemies of earth roads are water and narrow tires. and the con- stant effort of the men in charge of the roads should be to guard against their destructive effects and remedy all damage as quickly as possible The simple implements which have been found 10 be of greatest assistance Ill this work are the blow, the drag sefaper, the wheel seraper. the road grader, and the split log drag
 With a sandy soil and a subsoil of clay, or elay and gravel, deep blowing so as to raise and mix the elav with the surface soll and sand will prove beneficial. The combination forms a sand-clay road at trifiing expense. On the other hand. If the road be entirely of sand a mistake will be made if 1t Is p1owed unless clay can be added. Such blowing would merely deepen the sand, and at the same time break up the small amount of hard surface material which may have formed. If the subsoil Is clay and the surface Scant in sand or gravel, blowing should not be resorted to, as 1t would result in a clay surface rather than one of sand or gravel. \ road foreman must know not only what to blow and what not to blow, but how and when to blow. Ii the road is of the kind which ac- cording to the above instructions should be plowed over its whole width. the best method k to run the first furrow in the middle of the road and work out to the sides, thus forming a crown. Results from such blowing are greatest Ill the spring or early summer.
 In ditehes blow can be used to good advantage, but should be followed by scraper or grader To make wide, deep ditches nothing better than the ordinary drag scraper has yet been de- vised. For hauls under 100 feet, or in making fills" it is especial ] ly serviceable. It is a mistake, however, to attempt to handle long haul material with this seraper, as the wheel scraper is better adapted to such work. For hauls of more than 500 feet, wagon should be used.
 The machine most generally used Ill road work Is the grader, or road machine. This machine is especially useful in smoothing and crowning the road and in opening ditches. A clay subsoil under thin coating of soil should not be disturbed with grader. It Is also. mistake to use grader indiscriminatelv and to pull material from ditches upon I Sand-clay road. Not in-
