roads. In one road district in New
York two miles of macadamized road

One-half of this amount was subscribed
by people living In the road district,

W..
H. Jenkins.

One fact people are slow to learn is
that the soil nature made for growing
plants in, does not make a good road
bed. Soil is decomposed, or pulverized
rock with some humus or vegetable
matter. When this is wet it is mud,
when very dry, it is dust.
When soil Is used for road, the
most of the time it is in either one of
these two conditions, but there are
short periods when there is just the
amount of moisture in the soil that
makes it so compact, as to be firm

making has been some process of get
ting more soil into the road, and the
stones out. | can remember how, IN

team and scraper, and afterward

the centers of culture and civilization.
They make possible better attendance

few years the farmers family will
use the auto as commonly as they now
do the horse and carriage. Let us
work for better rural roads and
schools.

GERMS AND MILK.

According to recent dictum OF
science, the number of germs in

it has been hurried away from the
COW on its career of death and destruc-
ton, has been reduced by modern
methods from one or two millions to
about $50.
These germs are not in the milk at
the time 1t leaves the COW, but, unless
to arrive in large quantities from this
moment. They come in excursion
trains or on foot. The line of germs
waiting to get into an ordinary bottle
of milk has been extending far out
into the street. Police germs have had
great trouble in preserving order, and.
Of course, had there been a riot much
damage might have been done to
property.
All this, however, is now an affair OF
the effete past The regulations are SO
strict that only a given number OF
germs may pass, and even these have

by travel, the same soil was
scraped into the center of
the road again, and the same stones
thrown out. The last few years this
work has been more cheaply or easily
done with the road worker. This plan
of road making may give fairly good
country road, where heavy loads are
seldom drawn, for two or three months
in summer. but for the greater part of
the year there is no firm smooth road
bed, but mud, ruts and dust. For the
same reason that we need better
school houses and rural schools, we
need better country roads. Instituting
stone or macadamized roads in agricul-
tural localities is a most wise and far
seeing policy. for it hastens the time OF
better agriculture and civilization, and
adds to the value of every ones real
estate.
Good roads make it possible to mar

time of year at a smaller cost, as they

MRS. LOUCHEED'S CALL

By HELEN A. SAXON

| had the honor OF a call from Mrs.
Lougheed last week. Socially she Is
one of our representative ladies', and
her claims to distinction are varied
and unimpeachable. Her uncle is a
bishop and her calling list most ex-
elusive. She has an accent that never
forsakes her. and manner that can
convey the finest gradations of feeling,
from a chilly so-far-and no-fartherness
to a restrained warmth calculated to
put the fattered recipient into excel
highest art of dressing, too-so unos-
tentatiously that you know at once she
must be somebody Her husband pur-
sues the narrow way of the art critic,
and, feeling the sacredness OF his call
ing, keeps himself for the most part
unspotted from the throng His Eng
lish is faultless and he rarely permits
himself to smile. You feel the seri-
BUSINESS OF life in his presence more
than in your clergyman's, particularly
of cultured life, and you go home with
fresh resolve. 1t is really quite an
esthetic treat to see him on the plat
