excessive drinking and mental
alteration. Mr. Singleton short

wife, killed himself by cutting
his throat on the public highway.
Singleton was not considered a
bad man, but had not been Who'll

ROAD WORK IN ENGLAND.
Method Of Maintaining Highways and
Filling Up Soft Spots.

Method Of Maintaining Highways and
Filling Up Soft Spots.
1t may interest many to learn how
road maintenance is carried out in
Great britain and Ireland. All roads
and bridges are under the direct
charge of the county surveyor, who is
in all cases qualified civil engineer,
with assistants under him to see TO
the detail work. He divides the roads
Of the county into sections, as seems
best to him. for maintenance purposes
These several sections are advertised
locally in the newspapers and by 9th
CT means. and bids are invited for their
maintenance for six or twelve months,
says James Johnston of Douglas coun-
ty, Neb., in the Breeders Gazette of
Chicago. These bids are opened on n
certain day by a board of county com
missioners, assisted 10y the county sur
Nev0r. The lowest bidder gets the
work, but no bid is accepted until the
successful bidder puts up a bond
signed by two solvent sureties that the
work will be performed. Should the
contractor fail to do the work the
county surveyor can have ii done and
sue The bondsmen for the work and
costs All bidders for this work have
specifications of the work to be done
on the several sections of road. How
long the section is, how many tons of
metal are to he broken and put on,

l.. II. Hcalcy, the energetic master

growing substantially under his man
agcmcnt. Tie is Il fluent and forcefu
speaker ana is in great demand among
the oranges of that state.
One Of the points driven homo by
him is the fact that the grange is
y farmers organization and that the
lecturer owes it to members to bring
within their reach the best informa-
ion obtainable concerning work upon
the farm. Better methods of agricul.
ture are needed. and cases are too
rare in which farmers are receiving
what they should from their soil and
crops. srhe cost Of raising crops must
he reduced, SAYS Master Healey, ana
it should be one of the chief functions
Of the grange to help farmers in this
respect. Lecturers, if true to the pur
poses of the grange. will not fail to
bring out the experiences OF their best
ana most successful farmers on topics
relating to the farm, the household
ard the home. Let the grange be the
center toward which all the best farm
ers and their families look for prac
teal assistance in their work
