Michigan Farmer T«IU How to Mak* Them With Gravel and Cincttr*., While wo are bushy talking about good roads we must not forget th* most needful ono is tb at whCli run* jand'over which we travel many roilea during the year. At the time I moved to Ma* pleside farm a few years ago the mud was hub deep for the horses and no' better for the men on the footpaths, says I). f \ Dean, a Michigan farmer. Wo moved to MapJeside form In April, and the women folks did not get to the barns until after the middle of May, As soon as the crops were in those roads received my undivided attention until they were in a serviceable con ditlon. ■Xdid not draw in more dirt to soak up, but began at the bottom by plow ing out and removing over a foot of the soil, I then opened a gravel bank and drew in enough to till that taken out. Next f made arrangements for some cinders and put them over the gravel about a foot thick. This an ewered very well that season, but in the fall before the mud began to deep­ en I covered the road again, and dur- Ing the winter all the coal ashes were spread wherever there seemed to be a low spot. By following this scheme for four years I succeeded In making a road that never has any mud. If X find a low spot where water stands after a rain it la taken care of at once. On the south side of the house three years ago I built a road that has not required any repairing as yet beyond drawing three loads of gravel last spring. For this road I pursued a lit- tie different method. Xt was old sod, eo Xplowed through it and turned the sod upside down three deep on either side o f the road, then drew out all the dirt beneath that was loose and easy to handle. ..This left me a trench.'about eighteen inches or two feet to fill, which I did from my gravel bank, and no cinders were put on this road, as I could not get them. This roadway is about nine Inches ahovc the lawn on either sidle and never gets muddy. . About the house are cement platforms and walks, ‘while the roadway on either side is so hard it can be swept at-any time, find it pays when you are at It to make a good road and takes no longer, find a gravel bank about the best bank I can patronize When it comes to roadmaking.

Auto Found Serviceable In Making Street. Passable After Snowa, The man who brings together the best productions in different lines and obtains results which"better his own production may not he an inventor in the true sense of the word, but he cer< tainly possesses good common sense. .In Vermont and other New England states a road roller is used in the win­ ter to pack down the snow and' make the roads passable, By doing this aft­ er each snowstorm a really fine winter road results. The method nsed in np per New York is to draw two large iron kdttles, snch as are used for the making of soft soap, behind a team of horses or oxen. This is not very per­ fect, as it leaves a core in the road and simply pushes the snow to the side o f the road instead of packing it down. After a recent snowstorm in Bead­ ing, Fa., in which the roads were left In bad condition, H. L. Hardy, the de­ signer at a factory, conceived the idea of rolling, the roads. He attached an ordinary land roller tb the front of a sextuple! and started from the factory to the home of Mr. Sternbergh. Natu­ rally he did not try to break any speed records, but the trip, about six miles, was made in one hobr. One of the road commissioners of Berks county accompanied him and was much surprised to see what an Improvement this roller process was over the kettle drag. Mr. Hardy says ho will not patent or copyright this idea, so any one who desires to roll snow roads by automobile is free to try it. N«w 8yct«m of Highway Maintenance. Patrick E. Leahy, commissioner of highways, borough of Queens, has or­ ganized a new system of inspection and repair of highways, says a I/ong Island City (N, Y.) dispatch. The bor­ ough has been divided into a number of districts as follows: Long Island City, 8; Newtown, 10; Flushing, 12; Ja­ maica, 12; Bockaway, 5, Each of these districts is to be In charge of an assistant foreman, who will be held strictly responsible for the condition of his district The names of each assistant foreman and his men will be furnished to the property owners and residents, of the district, and the lat­ ter will bo encouraged to co-operate With the new commissioner. Reports Will be received from the foremeh ev­ ery night as to the work that has been done during the day and the hours each man began work and when he stopped. The department has $050,000 to spend on maintenance of the 800 miles of highways, which have cost: from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 and are in bad shape. Liquid Asphalt Makat Good Bead. The road committee of the board of chosen freeholders of Mercer county, N. J., has inspected the Hopewell and Stoutsburg road, which was recently maeMamlzwl and treated with liquid asphalt. The road Was found to hs in good condition and at present can scarcely be distinguished from ati as­ phalt pavement. The liquid asphalt was incorporated in the road dpring its construction, being sprayed' upon the binder, and the finer stone, f t top dressing, being rolled into the mix­ ture afterward. The extra cost was 8 cents a square yard. Tim stretch of highway treated measures two miles. N.

Many people have it. I t attacks them when they go info a strange library just to look around or rest for a few jrtinutM and are informed that in order to enjoy the hospitality of the reading room they ,will have to ask for a book and mako a t least a pretense of reading. The chances are that, no matter how familiar they are with books, they won’t be able to re­ call the name of a single one a t that moment. I f the library hap­ pens to be run on the help yourself principle, which gives patrons ac­ cess to the shelves, they can pick up some volume at random, but when obliged to consult the cata­ logue, as they] are here, their confu­ sion is both pitiable and ludicrous. “1 had the library fright twice myself. My first attack was in the Congressional- library in Washing-. ton. I wanted to read there for a few minutes, just for the sake of being able to say afterward tha t I had read there. Used as I was to handling books, I couldn’t think of even the dictionary when it came to making a choice. After a few? minutes of hopelessfloundering ‘Taine’s History of English Litera­ ture’ flashed across my mind. I had no desire on earth to look at ‘Taine’s History of English Litera­ ture’ then or at any other time, but I give you my word I couldn’t think of any other book to save my life; “Another time, in a library here in town, I was stricken with a sim­ ilar panicv and after stumbling through the catalogue in a dazed sort of way I asked for ‘David Cop- perfield’—‘Copperfleld/ mind yon, that I had read forty-eleven time3 and knew by heart. I t’s a funny thing, this library fright. A person who has never experienced i t cannot imagine how foolish and .helpless the sufferer feels.”-— Hew York Times. *_____ The Wise Goose. You must not say “as silly as a- goose” any more, for naturalists have been studying this animal,of late years, and they have coma to the conclusion that sheds the wisest old bird going. - She never quarrels without cause ; she sees danger before any other fowl; she has more courage than the rooster; she is far braver than the gobbler, and, if given a fair show, Bhe can beet off the fox. • A flock of geese squatted around the barnyard at night is ,a much greater protection than the watch­ dog. They are light sleepers and will give the alarm the instant they seen stranger moving about. So in future say “as wise as a goose” and give her all credit.— Montreal Standard. Pictur*, Not Paint. • An a rt patron one day went into Turner’s studio when the artist was already famous. He looked a t a pic­ ture and asked what was the price. The artist named the sum ho had set upon it. “What,” exclaimed the buyer, “all those golden sovereigns for so much paint 1” “Oh,” replied Turner, “it’s paint you are buying?- I thought it was pictures. Here,” producing a. half used tube of color; ‘TU let yon have tha t cheap. Make your own terms.” And,'turning his back on the aston­ ished patron, he went on painting. To*tied Bread. Bread that has been toasted until it becomes brown has had the afarch :in it largely converted into dextrin, and hence, so far as the brown por­ tion. is concerned, one of the proc­ esses of digestion is gone through before the bread is taken into the stomach. I t will be found that the thinner the slices of bread and the more thoroughly they are toasted the easier digestion will be, and when 'all portions of the slice of >read are thoroughly toasted—not iurned, but changed to a deep brown color—it will be found still more easily digested.—London Standard.
