WHERE GOOD ROADS BENEFIT
Case Cited Where 1t Cost Farmer
Much Time and Money to Deliver
Small Load of Apples.

Recently my man went to the coun-
ty seat to deliver % bushels OF apples.
The mud was SO deep that the team
was repeatedly stopped to wind on
level stretches and on many hills a
brake was not necessary, writes D. H.
Watts in the New England Homestead.
The time required to makes the round
trip of 80 miles was 10 hours, not
counting the time used feeding the
team and in unloading. Much less
time and scarcely any wear and tear
of team, wagon and harness would
have delivered rs bushels on a mac
adam or a brick road bed.
If nan and team are worth $4 a
day, and they are, then we lost IS
earning capacity that day and worked
very hard Is hours (more than a day
and a half, by eight-hour day SYSTEM
to earn a days wages. The gigantic
question Is not, do good roads cost
too much, but how much more do
bad roads cost us? Let every farmer
be a committee Of n to figure on
road profits and losses. The postof-
fee department and many others might
well participate. The consumer of
farm products is a sufferer also, as
because of these ill-kept roads his sup
ply comes inadequately at times, and
again SO as to demoralize the market.
1t is true that difficult transportation
invariably means higher prices at the
consumers door.

Low Life in the Pines,

Low Life in the Pines,
Conditions even more deplorable
than those said to exist among the
mountain whites of North Carolina
have been found in the pines of South
Jersey. Some of the conditions have
just been brought to light through ar
rests made at the instance of the New
Jersey Children's Home Society, with
headquarters in this city. Children
taken from the parties in question are
now at the Mckinley Receiving Home
of the society here. The people in
some of the pine sections, known IA
miliarly as pine Hawkers," are said
to be absolutely lawless in some re-
spects, while very law-abiding in
others. For instance, they think moth
ing of trading wives with their neigh
bors if they are not satisfied with
their own, and even sell their wives
and children for small sums of none
and liquor in some instances. C. V.
Williams, agent of the Children's Home
Society, returned from the pine sec
ton with a little boy and girl. The
parents of these children separated,
and the mother is said to have taken
up with another man. John McGagh-

Credit and the sIIo.

A great corporation which deals
with farmers and has to extend credit
to thousands Of them every year has
one rather interesting rule by which
to rate a man A farmer who has a
silo is considered a good risk. His
standing with the company is higher
than that of the man without a silo.
1t is easier for him to get credit than
1t is for the man who has no silo.
This is because credit is not wholly
based on what a man has but partly on
what he is. His enterprise, industry,
capability and honesty are considered
as well as the value and nature of his
property. The presence of a silo on
q mans farm Is evidence that he has
most Of the qualities that form a
basis for credit, and for that reason
he is considered by this corporation a
safe man to trust.

A Smoke House Stove

unfit for table use. This may be all
overcome by the use of an old stove,
one that is hardly fit for use in the
house for heating purposes.
Make a hole that will accommodate
the size of pipe you happen to have
near the floor Of the meat house; set
the stove five or six feet from the
house, that there may be used three
joints of pipe. This will permit the
smoke to cool sufficiently, which will
give the meat a fine flavor.
1t would be better to spend two or
three dollars for a stove than to run
a great risk in building a fire in the
smoke house.

Normal School Weaknesses.

In his annual report to Governor
Wilson, DR.. James M. Green, prin-
cipal of the State Normal School in
this city, lays special emphasis upon
three weaknesses in the institution.
These are low salaries, lack of suff-
cient teachers and an over-enrollment
of students for the number of teach
ers. An unusually strong faculty,
thoroughly capable of handling the
subjects entrusted to it is, in the opin-
ion of Dr.. Green, one of the elements
of strength of the institution. DR..
Green contends that the teachers are
not receiving sufficient salary, and
that because of that it is difficult to
retain them, while there are some
teachers in the school who meet as
many as $50 students a day. AS a
result the teachers are O able to
give much individual instruction.
While the school equipment is sufi-
cient for an enrolment of about $50,
it has 624.

Let us each cultivate carefully and
joyfully the portion of soil Providence

never be hindered or distracted by
ambitious thoughts that we could do
better, or a false zeal tempting us to
forsake our daily task with the vain
desire to surpass our neighbors. Let

To do well what is given to to do.

pIow Early.

Pillow the land as early as possible
To make it still better, disk the land
two or three weeks before blowing
This disking makes a better seeded
as the stubble is mixed with the soil
The disking also buries weed seed
and grain, which makes them germi
nate and the blowing kills them
Early fall blowing will, as a rule
make a better crop than spring plow
ing and especially SO If the land was
disked first. Then again, there is toe
little time in the spring to do the
blowing then.

How Europe Saves Fertility.

The fertility of European soil is
maintained by maintaining the supply
of active plant food and of organic
matter. A part of the nitrogen is Sc
cured from the air, a part from the
purchased feeding stuffs and some
from the heterogeneous fertilizers. The
losses Of potash and phosphoric acid
in the crop are counterbalanced by
purchases in feeds and fertilizers.
Every care is taken to prevent loss
Of plant food. Leaves, stalks, ETC.,
are either saved and fed or are used
as bedding.

NARROW ROADS ARE FAVORED
Agitation to Cut Width to Thirty Feet
Has Been Taken Up in Kansas
Easier to Care For.

The agitation which was begun in
Iowa two year ago to cut down the
width Of country roads, allowing tho
unused strips of land along each sids
of the highway to revert to the aG-
1acent property owner, has now been
taken up in Kansas, where the state
highway engineer is advocating a plan
similar to that advocated in Iowa by
Governor Carroll, says the Iowa Hone
stead. The argument both in Iowa
and in Kansas is that by mar
rowing the highways to thirty feet,
and maintaining the entire width
as a highway and drainage sys-
tenn, the wall of weeds upon each side
OF the roadway would be dispensed
with and a great waste of land would
be minimized. The Kansas highway
engineer has figured that a sixty-foot
roadway takes 14.55 acres from two
sides Of each section Of land, or TWEEN
there is a road on all four sides. By
abandoning thirty feet of each road
that is now sixty feet wide, three and
two-thirds acres would revert to the
owner of each quarter section, thus
materially adding to the farm income.
The situation in Kansas is consider
ably akin to that in Iowa, only a
portion from one-third to one-half) Of
the land allotted to a highway being
used as an actual roadway. Those who
are back Of the movement in both of
the states believe that better results
will be obtained by narrowing the road
and keeping the narrowe channel in
better repair, while at the same time
adding thousands Of acres of rich farm
land to the states aggregate. Wheth-
er the agitation bears fruit or not it
can hardly fail to be of value in fur
thering the cause of good roads by in
creasing public interest in the subject.

Years for Burglary, succumbs Again.

years more to the quarter of a cen

glary. you've got the goods on me-"
Bovine told a court attendant who led
him from the police court to the
county jail, after he had waived ex-
animation on a charge of breaking in
to the home of Julius Brewer, 254
Eighteenth avenue, Paterson. Bovine
told the authorities that, after his re-
lease from prison, fifteen days ago,
he drifted to Newark, and later re-
turned to Paterson. His former friends,
some of whom now hold responsible
positions, he said, had forgotten him,
and he wandered aimlessly. Without
funds, he tried to get a loan from q
letter carrier, but was refused.
Old Instinct Returns.

Bovine says, he strolled. through Park
avenue, and finally the old instinct led
him to the Brewer house. In his
search for money he entered the up
per floor, where he disturbed Mr..
Brewer, who surprised him in the hall
way. They grappled with each other
and rolled down a flight of stairs,
wrestling all the way. Bovine was the
quicker of the two and got safely out
of the house. With fifteen minutes
start, Bovine led the police a good
chase to the Paterson mountains be-
fore being caught. At headquarters
he said he was Frank Cole, a Phila-
delphia business man, but later broke
down and admitted his identity. An
overcoat Bovine wore when arrested
proved to be the property of Mr..
Brewer. Before the robbery at the
Kruger home Bovine escaped from
