WHAT TO DO FOR YOUR DIRT ROADS.

No country anywhere ought to
be content with ordinary dirt roads
for it's m; in artery of travel. What
ever we may say about improving
our common dirt roads, therefore,
is not intended to make any reader
content to have simply dirt roads
for the main highways of his coun-
tv. For all these roads there must
be sooner or later macadam or
gravel or sand-clay. Let us decide
upon this and keep up the agita-
tior ! season and out of season UNI
Ill good result is accomplished.
At the same time while working
for these more expensive methods
for the "big roads," let's see to 1t
tat the neighborhood roads are
ais, made better. The principles
of rood drainage upon which such
stress has been laid by so many OF
our writers, may certainly be adopt
ed. and this is admittedly the great
est need. taking our section as a
whole. In the hill country, how
ever, the necessity for avoiding
heavy grades is almost as pressing.
We must always remember that a
road is no better than its worst
places. If there is a grade or any
rough place over which your team
can pull only 500 pounds to the
horse, then your load must always
be 500 pounds a horse, although
the road for nine tenths of the dis
lance may be good enough for
load of 900 pounds. We must learn
to 90 around the hills, not over
them, and perhaps the first step
in the improvement of half our
country roads ought to be new sur
veys, making them straighter
where it can be done without in
creasing the grade, and decreasing
the grade wherever it is excessive

TIMBER DECAY COST MILLIONS

Millions Of feet Of timber and
finished lumber rot every year IN
railroad ties, bridges, trcstle, piles,
farm buildings, fences, poles, and
mine props. The lumber consum-
ing public Of the United States
pays perhaps thirty to forty mil
lion dollars a year TO make good
the losses from wood decay.
These great drains are a source
of more and more concern each
year. Chemists and engineers who
have to do with the uses Of wood
are working increasingly on the
problem. The U. S. Forest Service
has men who devote their whole
time to it. The importance OF the
problem can not be over estimated
Millions Of dollars are annually saw
ed by preservative treatment OF
timhcrs, but much yet remails to
be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus
vegetable growth sometimes so
small that it can be seen only with
the microscope. lis roots OF
branches, like minute hairs, force
their way into the wood tissues
and absorb or eat away the parts.
The collapse which results is called
decay. Timber is artifcially pre-
served by forcing into its cells and
pores certain substances which pre-
vent the growth of fungi. AS long
as this substance is present in SUI
fcient quantity, the germ of dc(ay
the threads and spores of fungus
can not enter, and the wood is
preserved. This often means doub-
ling and sometimes trchling the
life of the timber.
The lengthening of the life OF
timber means the saving # thous-
ands of dollars anna3:y i'l"agh
doing away with the hca"y expense
of labor and cost of material fol
renewals.

Snencar,s First PrincipIes.n

In Spencer's First Principles" he
endeavors TO define the fields OF the
unknowable and the movable and
the postulates with which the studies
of the movable must be pursued
When Spencer writes that 1.-The man
of science truly knows that In its ulti-
mate essence nothing can be known"
he is not referring to mans brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles Of the universe,
like space. time, matter. force and mo-
Son. are by their very nature uu-
movable Since all mans knowledge
of the cosmos can be traced back uti-
mately to sense experience, and since
sense experience IS not always relia-
BILE and much of what he calls the
ultimate essence Is entirely inaccessi-
BILE to sense experience, it may be phil
osophically said that man cannot be
sure he really knows anything. Both
the strength and the weakness Of his
theory are due to the equiyocal import
Of the term knowledge. New York

Birds on the Wing.

Twice every year wave OF living
birds. almost incOnceivably grand In
tho number of birds involved, surges
over North America. The autumn
wave rolls from the arctic tundras

hock oeoin TO the icebound northern
ocaan with The northward progression
of the sun. And almost as ceaseless
Ms the ever rising, ever falling swell
NJ tbe ocean tides is this miraculous
tide of beating wings and pulsating
little hearts. The last stragglers OF
the northward migration do not reach
their northern home before the early
mart of June. but in July the south
ward getting tide has begun again.
The number Of birds that make up
this mighty wave almost passes COM
prebension. Probably more than 95
per cent of all birds making their
summer home between the northern
boundary Of Mexico aud the Arctic

bird tide that moves southwark in
autumn and norttwnrd in the spring

Allowing a little less than one misra-
