FARM DRIVEWAYS.
Michigan Farmer Tells How to Make

While we are busily talking about

which we travel many miles during

pleSide farm few years ago the mud
was hub deep for the horses and no
better for the men on the fOOtpathS,
says d. c. Dean, a Michigan farmer
We moved to Maplcside farm in April,
and the women folks did not get to the
barns until after the middle of May
AS soon as the crops were in those
roads received my undivided attention
until they were in a serviCeable con-
clifton
| did not draw in more dirt to soak
up, but began at the bottom by plow-
ing out and removing over foot of
the soil. | then opened gravel bank
and drew in enough to fill that taken
out. Next | made arrangements for
some cinders and put them over the
gravel about a foot thick. This an
swcrcd very we'll that season, but in
the fall before the mud began to deep

a road that never has any mud. If

On the south side of the house three

so l plOwed through it and turned the
sod upside down three deep on either

MAN MONEY.
The Old Teutonic Law on Killing or
lnJuring Others.

InJurIng Others.
The system of atoning for death or
bodily injuries inflicted on others by
paying damages is as old as the earli-
est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus.
The treSpaSser was always required to
make peace with the aggrieved family
of the victim by "Wcr-Geld."
over" is the ancient German for
man. Geld now, as in the days OF
Wotan, means money.
Damages were assessed In accord
ance with the rank and wealth of the
injured party, and the money was
paid over in the presence of the whole
community, its acceptance forcStalling
fcuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer
Geld C'money for the man" killed. by
law precluded further bloodShed or
other forms of revenge.
If the slayer was not rich enough to
pay the required sum, he turned over
to the injured parties his sons as
slaves. If his sons We're not sufficient
guarantee for the payment of the
debt, the slayer himself had to turn
bondsman, both the letter and the
spirit of the law requiring that the
full amount of damage inflicted be
recovered by the aggrieved parties

The Sword of CORVALLIS.

Art is not always true to history.
Schoolboys of several generations are
familiar with the picture of CORVALLIS
surrenderng his sword to Washington
after the fall of Yorktown Lord Corn
wallis is revealed in the act of passing
over his beautiful sword to the hand
of his conqueror. The inference is that
Washington took the sword and kept
It as Il trophy Of victory. The facts
are quite otherwise
CORVALLIS, proud even in defeat, de-
clined to put in personal appearance
on the occasion of his surrender. The
allied forces, American and French
who had besieged him for thirteen
days, were drawn up in two columns
along the road leading to Hampton.
ROchambeau, on fine bay horse, was
at the head of the French column. On
his white charger sat Washington at
the head of the American troops. The
surrendered British and Hessians
marched out of their intrenchments
and passed down between the two col
umns.
Many thousands of Virginian citizens
were gathered to watch the scene. all
eager to get glimpse of Lord Corn
wallis. But they were disappointed in
that. CORVALLIS pleaded indisposition
and stayed in his quarters. He sent
his sword by one of his officers, Cen
eral O'Hara, to be delivered up to
Washington. General O'Hara offered
the sword to Washington, who direct
ed him to General Lincoln, the officer
whom Washington had appointed to
conduct the surrender Lincoln took
the sword from OHaras hand and
then politely handed it back, to be re-
