into their great horns as II to burst

their drums with might and main.
Cheeks were red and round like ap-

all But his attention was distracted
by deaf old gentleman who in the
pianissimo passages put large silver
ear trumpet to his ear. Whenever he
did this the oysterman sneered. And
at last his honest hatred Of anything
approaching sham overcame the mans
reserve. He elbowed his way to the
deaf old gentleman and said:

ROLLING GOOD FOR ROADS.
Auto Found Serviceable In Making
Street Passabe After Shows.


The man who brings together the
best productions In different lines and
obtains results which better his own
production may not be an inventor In
the true sense Of the word. but he GER
tanly possesses good common sense.
In Vermont and other New England
states road roller is used in the win
ter to pack down the snow and make
the roads passabe. BY doing this aft
err each Snowstorm really fine winter
road results. The method used In up
per New York Is to draw two large
iron kettles. such as are used for the
making Of soft soap behind team OF
horses or oxen. This is not very per-
feet. as 1t leaves core in the road and
simply pushes the snow to the side OF
the road in2tead Of packing 1t down.
After q recent snowstOrm In Read
ing. Pa. in which the roads were LETT
In bad condition, Fl. L. Hardy. the de-
signer at factory. conceived the idea
OF rolling the roads. He attached an
ordinary land roller to the front or
sextuplct and started from the factory
to the home Of Mr.. Stelnbergh. Natu-
rally he did not try to break any speed
records, but the trip, about six miles,
was made in one hour.
One Of the road commissioners OF
Berks county accompanied him ana
was much surprised to see what an
improvement this roller process was
over the kettle drag. Mr. Hardy says
he will not patent or copyright this
idea. so any one who desires to roll
snow roads by automobile Is free to

churches all over America for the last
seven years. The police declare his

of dollars. He solicited ON the plea
that he had established schools in the

Industry keeps the body healthy, the

A thoughtful article In recent issue
Of leading farm paper points out the
fact that the value of many Of the ex-
periments conducted by state agricul-
tural experiment stations Is greatly
lessened because so many of the tests
are carried out on very limited scale
and under conditions which 1t would
be impossible for the average farmer
to duplicate because of lack OF help
and time In measure this criticism
Is well founded in that experiments
may be conducted on a small scale
with remarkable results which would
not produce any such results were
they carried out extensively with the
amount Of land which the average
farmer undertakes. At the same time
ii Is we'll to take into account the fact
that one of the truths which the ex-
pertinent stations are trying to drive
home to the minds Of the tillers Of
the soil Is that they are working
from two to three times as much
land MS they can handle to advantage
and that IL an amount were kept I'M
der cultivation which could be given
the attention that 1t ought to receive
some Of these same invaluable tnten-
sive experiments-so viewed by some
would be considered Of much more
practical nature than now. Perhaps
the exrerinenters should increase by
threefold the land which they de-
vote to grain raising tests. while 1t is

instead of upward. 1t might have been
supposed that the high point would be
reached long before this. On the con
traTy, the amount paid for pensions for
the fiscal year 1909, which ended last
june 80, was the largest ever disbursed
Tor pensions in one year. The increase
in the disbursements was. in great
measure, due to the large number Of
pensioners placed OF the roll under the

$50. and $50 per month to survivors Of
