R. l. 8. in THE ADIRoNpAcks
Stevenson, While Fighting of Dis
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws of Health.

to the Laws of Health.
Robert Louis Stevenson, for SO wise
a man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, 1.-THE laws
of health, but that, too, may have
been part of his wisdom. He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived In little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The ismoke of his incessant cigarettes
obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gazes
at lion in den. ! Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that 'it isn't the great unwashed
which I'd read, but the great washed"
But whoever else was unwelcome
there was always greeting for Rich
ard Mansfield. Itiis an impressive, al
most tremendous picture, that of the
clouded room fitfully lit by the flames
of the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield
at the other end of the room gave his
weird impersonation Of DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde. 1t must have been like
God looking upon his handiwork and
finding 1t good

Rules For Measuring Corn.

There are many rules for measur-
ing corn. Inquiries conducted by the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture
show the following in common use:
Sixteen cubic feet Of corn In the
shock Tor extra well settled Is feet)
make a barrel. The number of cubic
feet multiplied by the decimal a
gives the bushels. Multiply together
the length. width and height of the
pen or crib, in inches, and divide by
4,200 for old corn or 4,300 for new
corn, to get bushels. Where 1t can
be done corn should be weighed
rather than measured.

Getting Seed Grain Ear,v.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do It now,
while you have plenty of grain at
hand from which to select. The best
twenty-five bushels of grain out of a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from much smaller
amount in the spring. The cost of
thus cleaning and grading the grain
is very slight, and 1t enables one to
have heavy. plump seed grain at very
little outlay.

ManurIna Garden In Winter,

Any time during the winter or early
spring the garden may be manured.
The spring rains will dissolve rich
ness from fertilizers and carry them
down into the soil for feeding the
plants next summer. If the garden is
manured in winter fresh manure may
be used with safety, as it will have
lost much of the heat by planting time.

MT Jacobs is particularly en- thusiastic ever the Box canyon, in which is located near Berner's sum mer resort. and over the immense cave m that vicinity. which to this day nobody has completely penetrated.

 Running through the cave is a swift stream of pure cold water and the old-timers say that further in

than used in the past, more of them ard more bridges have been and are being put in. The work is a revela- ton in road building to those who have not seen scientific road building in other states. I.
 It is planned by the board of super visors to have two main thoroughfares I'D the Sulphur Spring valley. The one dsscriped will be run to Wilcox and another constructed up the easter Fly side of the valley later. These can be reached from central points of the valley by cross roads. In the end it will be a complete system.
 The hoard of supervisors candidly admits it is learning ard studying county road construction They are seeking to learn which method is most economical This road the county is tutding with day labor. Next year this will be continued and contracts will also be let so as to determine which produces the hest result for the least expenditure. Only by expert ment can this be learned. But at this time it is certain that the board is do- ing real permanent road building for the first time it has been attempted by the county.

ROAD WORK IS
 IN GOOD SHAPE
County Officials in Charge of Eorest-Gleeson Road Visit Camp and Are Pleased with Character and Progress.

When nsthe road from Forrest raEch 70 Gieescn is completed it win be the .lrst example of scientific road build ing that Ccehise county has known That il is real road building any one Who visits the road camp about two and a half miles north of the Bisbee- Douglas link of the state highway can see for himself Sunday aftrnoon Messrs. Riggs and Rock of the board of supervisors, Clerk Karger. Assessor Hughes, County Engineer McNefsh and Secretary Gray of the Commercial club went ont and looked over the progress of the work and were much pleased with what has been done.
 In the past the path of immediate least resistance" has been followed in road building generally through Ari. Zona. As result the lowlands have been followed and the roads have run along, ard often in. washes and ar royos. The cost of road construction was kept to a minimum but the cost of annual uDkeep was raised to a maxi mum. The present board of supervis- ors is building a road where it costs more in the first instance to construct but where the upkecp will be minim- ized and in the end it will prove a great economy.
 In a straight line, without a curve from near Forrest raEch right to the Gleeson school house, there has been cleared an so foot right of way and through the center of this is being thrown up the new county road which will be IS feet in width at the base In this whole distance there is at no point a greater grade than 2l5 per cent This has been effected by fills and cuts, chiefly fills and in making these fills there nas been scraped out with the excavator and with fresnos and slips a space often 40 feet in width above the road. Especial atten- tion has been paid to drainage and in this the excavation work plays it's part forming a reservoir above the road and preventing a flow across the road even when a cloudDurst comes to tax the culverts or reservoir.
