F. P. Sanborn of Freeport, Maine, in
communication to the Maine Farmer,
says of recent article in that paper on
Dirt Roads that it contained many ex-
cellent points, but was lacking in the one
great essential-failure to condemn the
road machine without qualifications. "
Every intelligent observer of the work
of this destructive machine must agree
with the statements and conclusions of
Mr.. Sanborn. For example, he says:
"Let it be remembered that the solid
road bed slightly crowned is better pro-
tected from injury by either water, frost
or travel, than is the highly crowned
'turnpiked' road of loose material. The
built up roads of Maine have been turn
piked to death by the use of the road
machine, and SO has disappeared, in
great measure, the product of century
of toll" We recall one instance where
hard, smooth. sufficiently crowned, two
track road, was permanently destroyed
by the road machine. That is to say, it
can only be restored by hauling material
to build it up, and that would entail large
expense. The shoulder of this road was
well sodded and the sods were torn out
by the road machine and left in the
middle of the travelled way, grass side
up. Where the shoulder had been a
hollow was left and the ground was so
soft that wheels would sink into it. Of
course all vehicles avoided the sods and
were forced into the ditch on the other
side, and that was dug out so that the
water could not run out through the cul-
verts as formerly, and in heavy rains
water stood there fully two feet deep.
In course of time the sods were worn
down, leaving convex road unsafe for
the passing of Teams single track road
where there had been a two-track road.
Mr.. Sanborn instances similar work
elsewhere. The chief reason for the
use of the road machine in some places
would seem to be the employment of
men and horses to pay political debts.
One more illustration of the damage done
by the road machine. One spring the
machine was used when the ground was
soft on hill where the road was in per-
feet condition, we'll drained, smooth and
sufficiently crowned. The machine was
not run down to the ditch, but made an
other ditch, and the wheels of the ma
chine left deep ruts. A heavy rain fol-
lowed and there were five streams of
water pouring down these ruts and
bitches, and the damage then done has
never been fully repaired. Mr.. Sanborn,
who for the past five years has been one
of the road commissioners of Standish,
and practices what he breaches, has be-
come thoroughly convinced of the use
fulness of the King drag. He says:
cease to prod and vex the highway
with the road machine. Leave the solidi-
flying processes of nature and the traffic
to harden the road-bed, and use the road
drag and the gravel cart in the up build
ing process, and thus the road will be
maintained in good condition and gradu-
ally brought to an enduring crown"

Many of our readers have the New
York Tribune Farmer through clubbing
with The Journal and more would well
come its weekly visits if they knew its
interest and value. There are depart
ments. edited by experts, for every
branch of agriculture, and the household
is not neglected. Several of our readers
have said that the veterinary depart
ment alone was worth more to them than
the price of both papers. A recent is
sue treats of the Soy bean as valuable
leguminous crop for the North. Soy
bean hay is said be practically identical
in feeding value with alfalfa, and yields
from two to three tons to the acre" and
Soy bean meal more valuable than
cotton seed meal as supplemental feed
in the production of pork, mutton, wool,
beef, milk and butter.' Poultrymen
will be interested in the report of the
egg-laying contest at the Agricultural
College, Storrs, Conn. OF general in
terest is an article on truck growing in
the Norfolk region, Virginia. As an in
dication of the magnitude of the crops
raised there it is stated that the ship
ments of spinach in 1901 were over
900, 900 barrels and the product for the
present season, it is thought, will reach
a round million. barrels. The lands upon
which truck crops grow are very valu-
able, as high as $1,000 an acre in some
cases, and frequently $1,000 per acre,
while $500 to $500 per acre is common.
This being true it is necessary to get
good returns from the crops grown,
especially when the items of labor and
fertilizer are added. Therefore, truck
ers are not satisfied with one crop, even
with good returns, and two, three and
even four crops are grown on the same
land in twelvemonth. An article
of more immediate and general interest
is letter from Washington from w. A.
Henry, formerly Dean of the College of
Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, on
the parcels post situation at the National
Capital. Prof. Henry gives his unquali-
fed endorsement of the Gardner postal
express bill in the Senate and the similar
Cooke bill in the House, which are based
on the findings of Representative Lewis
of Maryland, who has devoted years of
study to the subject. Prof. Henry says:
When first heard of the Lewis idea
thought it visionary, but when l found
such stanch, clear-headed thinkers as
Senator Gardner and Representative
Cooke introducing bills and noted the
rapid growth of the idea studied the
proposition in earnest. As result l
have been forced to the conclusion that
if the principles advanced by Mr.. Lewis
are enacted into law the people of this
country will have the best parcels post
system Of any country.
These are but few of the many live

Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited

The "change of life" is most
critical period in a womdn's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

panic at first. as all believed that there
were plenty Of lifeboats to go around. |
Mrs. Astor Could Not Talk.
Pale, trembling, and apparently i'll.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor was one of the
first survivors of the wreck to pass
down the Carpathia's gangplank. She
stepped from the Carpathia wearing o
long black astrakhan coat, small
toque covered by a blue chiffon veil,
and at her throat repOsed a large dia
mOnd and pearl sunburst. ~
Mrs. Astor was completely broken
down by the narrowing experience she
had passed through, and the loss of
her husband. and when asked to say
something cried in heartbroken tones:
Il can't! l can't! I am unspeak-
ably illr'
Mrs. Astor's mental suffering was
terrible, though physically she was not
much harmed Physicians gave or
GERS tnat neither she or her ma1d
should be permitted to talk about the
Titanic, and this rule was strictly OBJ
served. Nevertheless, before the order
had been given, she had told Vincent
Astor some Of her memories. She
thought she recalled seeing Colonel
Astor by her side, just before she got
into one Of the boats. She imagined
he was safe, too, and it was only
when she was on the Carpathia that
she realized he was not among the
rescued.
Like most Of the survivors, Mrs. AS
tor was too stunned at first to recall
any Of the incidents Of the sinking
ship. Other passengers said that Mrs.
Astor displayed remarkable courage
during the days on the Carpathia,
walking about the decks and trying to
cheer up other survivors whose sorrow
seemed beyond relief.
Astor Made Light Of Danger.
Colonel Astor was walking the deck
| at the time the Titania struck the ice
berg" said William David, assistant
saloon steward on board the Carpa-
thia, in reciting incidents which had
been told to him by survivors.
He was approached by frantic
waiter, l was told. and urged to put
on life belt. The waiter had several
life belts in his hand. Colonel Aston
waved him away.
"'Pooh,' he said, this is nothing
There is no need Of life belts And
that was the last seen of Colonel AS
tor
Band Played "Nearer, My God, to Thes.'
Mrs. A. A. Dick, who was saved
with her husband, told the following
story:
THE boats lay in the vicinity of the
/ laundering vessel for about an hour
No one believed she could go down
We had been assured to this effect by
the captain. But as she began to set
tie it was soon seen that she wa:
about to go to the bottom, and if We
stayed near we would be drawn dow1
with her in the vortex.
1.-THE marine band on board did it!
best to cheer up the waning hopes O.
the passengers. One OR two airs wer
struck up. 1t was a spectacle that N
one will ever forget.
Suddenly the band stopped. TIL,
leader moved his baton. In slow, sol
emn tones the air, Nearer, My God, t
Thee was waited across the water t.

peration to get into the lifeboats that
the officers shot them and their bodies
fell into the ocean. They said also that
they saw John Jacob Astor and Major
Butt standing together on the Titanic's
deck and that they must have gone to
death together Mrs. Isidor Straus re-
fused to leave her husband, they said.
Many passengers agreed in the state
ment that Cos were rescued and that
our died in the lifeboats and two died
on board the Carpathia. One of the
steeraGa passengers was buried at sea.
Stories OF all agreed that the Titanic
struck the eberg at II 40 o'clock, that
she sank at 2:25 and that they were
picked up by the Carpathia at 80.
Four Lifeboats Drawn Down.
William Jones. Titanic stoker who
manned one, of the lifeboats, said he
was 700 yards away when the vessel
sank and that he saw four lifeboats
filed with women drawn down. Two
women in his boat died of exposure.
Margaret Hayes of New York city
said: when I was put into a life
boat 1 found a two-year-old baby girl
in my arms. do not know who placed
it there, nor who it's mother is. I have
been taking care of it ever since"
Daniel T. Bailey, who lives at the
Marlborough hotel in New York city,
said: Il was adrift alone on raft for
six hours. I saw a woman in night
clothing near by, swan to her side
and dragged her to the raft. She was
unconscious and slipped off into the
water and was drowned"
Mrs. Regina Steinert of New York
city. who was a passenger on the Car
pathia, said that when the Carpathia
reached the scene of the disaster six
teen lifeboats filed with survivors were
found floating in the sea of ice. All
were taken on board and passengers
We'd with the crew in rendering aid.
1.-THE survivors were lying in the bot
tom of the boats, all alive. but the ma
jority Of them unconscious" she said
Major Butt Hero.
One survivor asserts he saw Major
Butt, aid to President Taft, play
hero's part before he died.
"An hour after the boat sank huns
on to a collapsible lifebOat for two
hours and a half. Then 1 was picked
up said this man.
