COST AM) LOCATION OF EARTH ROADS. The cost of hauling over country roads is largely determined by the size of the 4oad that can be hauled, the number of trips that can be made in a day, and the wear and tear on teams and equipment, according to 1 the office of Public Roads. Steep grades, as well as ruts and mudholes serve to decrease both the speed and the load. On the principle that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, the maximum load that a team can draw is the load that it can draw up the steepest hill or through the deepest mudhole on that road. Wherever possible roads should be located on straight lines between ter minal points. In hilly or mountainous country, however, the attempt to keep roads straight between terminals of ten leads to the serious error of heavy grades. Straightness and grade must therefore, be handled together. The best location is one which is straight in general direction, is free from I steep grades, is located on solid ground, and serves the largest possi-' ble number of people. Roads should be located for the benefit of the pub lic, as well as the private landowner. The elimination of one or two steep hills on a line of road will frequently enable horses to draw three or four times as much as they could draw on the old road. It takes approximately four times as much power to draw loads up 10 per cent grades (10 feet vertical in 100 feet horizontal) as on E'S CROUP and NEUMONIA SALVE (External Vapor Remedy) .Relieves Croup, Pneumonia, Bronchitis Coldp, Grippe, Coigns, etc., in a few minutes.

A new and simple process of pre serving eggs for almost any length of time was described at the session of the International Congress of Re frigeration, at Washington. The eggs are packed in a room that can be made air-tight. Then the air is pumped out of the room, and its place is filled with nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas. By this method eggs are said to keep perfectly fresh, without any loss of flavor, for a year or more.

Henry Ward Beecher's Farm Creed. We believe that soil likes to eat as well as its owner and oncVit.. thorn. fore, to be liberally fed. We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it making the farmer and the farm both glad at once. We believe in going to the bottom of things and, therefore, in deep plow ing and enough of it. All the better with a subsoil plow. We believe that every farm should own a good farmer. We believe that the best fertilizer for any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence. Without this lime and gypsum, bones and green manure, mud and guano, will be of little use. ! We believe in good fences, good barns, good farm houses, good stock, good orchards, and children enough to gather the fruit. We firmly disbelieve in farmers that 'poorer every year, in starving cattle, in farmers' boys turning into clerks ,and merchants, in farmers' daughters unwilling to work, and in all farmers I shamed of their vocation or who drink whiskey until honest people are ashamed of them.
