USING THE ROAD DRAG.

In several states laws have been
passed within the past few years max
ing the use Of the King road drag a
compulsory feature OF road work
The requirement Is a most excellent
one, but the good got from the use OF
the drag will depend in great measure
upon using it at the right time follow
ing q rain. While there Is naturally
some variation as between different
soils. 1T may be said in a general way
that the right time to use the drag IS
when the earth IS IN a rather mellow
condition. as 1t then will Tot stick to the
'scraper Sometimes, IL the r,1ts to be
filed are quite deep. it is we'll to give
the road treatment within a short
time after rain. following this with

HOME CANNING OF PEACHES.

HOME CANNING OF PEACHES.
A lady living in Georgia. who signs
herself Rose Lombard, contributed a
two page article to the Fruit Grower,
published at St. Joseph, Mo-. ON pre-
serving peaches which is Of a most
definite and practical nature. Several
points in her general directions We
condense and give for the benefit of
readers who may not be acquainted
with them. After great deal OF stud.
and experimenting she recommends
dipping peaches in a lye solution Us
the best method of removing the skins
This solution is made by dissolving
one pound Of 80 per cent lye in three
gallons of water, which should te
brought to a boil and kept there while
the fruit is being dipped. It is best to
put the peaches in q wire basket, and
they should be kept in the solution just
half minute, the basket being moved
gently up and down to secure even ac-
tiPn Pn all the fruit. The kettle in
which the I've solution il boiled should
"a OF ample size, as the solution is
likely<tot boil over while the fruit is
being dipeed,a At the close Of the half
minutsSfhabpfaches should be dipped
quickly into flean cool water enough
tunes TO thoroughly cleanse from the
I've Solption. If the fruit is perfect
very li3le pairing will be necessary. Ii
milf Peaches are desired they should
b cut and the pit removed at this
point. II desired whole they are all
ready for the next step. This is the
cooking. and, in the opinion Of this con-
tributor, this is one of the real secrets
of successful canning. She found that
cooking in thin strip In half gallon
jars placed in wash boiler for an
hour and half at 100 degrees gave a
peach that was tender, yet firm. An
other most important step she found
to be the complete cooling of the fruit
before repacking in the jars In which
1t was to be kept. She found that
when cooked in this manner and thor
oughiy cooled she could pack ten whole
peaches in quart jar without crush
ing those at the bottom. The final
step after repacking is covering the
peaches with the sirun, putting on
covers, placing in cold water in boiler,
bringing quickly to boil and remov-
ing a moment afterward. This lady
put her peaches up in strip testing
81 degrees on Baume sugar gauge or
scale, made by dissolving two cups Of
sugar In one cup Of hot water.

THE COST or POOR ROADS,

the COST OF POOR ROADS.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has lately compiled some Stats
tics relative to public highways in the
United States that should be OF inter
est not only to road builders but to all
producers of transportable commodi-
ties. The investigators have found
that there are 100000 miles OF public
highway. OF which but 8 per cent, or
10000 miles, could be classed rs i'm
proved-that is, treated In some way
with stone or gravel-and that II all
highways were made rs good az this
8 per cent it would cost e, OOO. OOO, 600.
The commission finds that 265, OOO, 600
tons of agricultural, forest and miscel-
laneous products are hauled TO depots
by wagon in the course OF year at
an average cost Of q cents per ton
per mile. or $432, 100000 II the cost
OF hauling could be reduced to one
half the present average, or liz cents
per ton-the cost OF hauling on the
improved roads OF Trance-the saving
effected would be more than 500 OOO,-
600. This economy would seem well
worth while.

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

The liquor dealers of Bellingham
are deserving of very great credit
for preserving the order they did
on New Years eve, the night that
marked the closing of the retail liq-
nor business in that city. 1t had
been predicted that high carnival
would be held on the last day the
saloons were to be allowed to remain
open and in anticipation of this the
city was unusually well policed.
There was no need whatever Of this
for nearly all of the propiri-
tors of the forty-two saloons were
in reality peace officers themselves.
They fatty refused to sell liquor to
intoxicated persons and allowed no
hilarity whatever in their places of
business. The keys in the locks of
their doors clicked promptly at the
stroke of twelve and the saloons
were closed with less than the usual
demonstration and as quietly as any
other place of business. There were
no "drunks" forced onto the streets
for the police to pick up and not one
place was open after the hour of
midnight. Commenting editorielly
upon this matter the Bellingham
Herald of last Sunday says:
"The anticipated saturnalia Of
crime as the result of the final clos
ing of the saloons at midnight was
a complete fuke. The boozers'
carnival was almost as quiet and
orderly as pink tea. AS riotous
occasion it was failure. There
was less stir than on the average
Saturday night. The only thing to
relieve the monotony was an occas-
ional drunk" and these were few
and far between"
The Islander adheres strictly to
the principle of "Giving credit where
credit is due" and always endeavors
to treat all impartially and without
fear or favor. This time the saloon
men of Bellingham are on thelaccred-
tied list and the Islander has no
hesitancy in acknowledging credit.
They conducted their business on
this last day in strict accordance
with the law and occasioned no cause
whatever for complaint. AS rule
the saloon man, the same as any
other, is not counting trouble, but
on the contrary wishes to avoid it if
he can, even thouhg his business is
such that it is often difficult to
avoid friction. When he does this
there is all the more reason to COM
pliment him,
