'they seldom fail, and for hardiness and

Thry are not beautiful, except in the

certain OtiidjbnHincwiliko air about
thot.e plain Bpeciaaeus which appeals to
all claxHes and stamps theiu tho great
money makers of ponltrydom. '
It is Fiifo to say that the demand for.
Plymouth Rocks is far in excess of that
for any othi breed. This does not re

The very best quality any breed can
have is hardiness. A vigorous constitu
tion in fowls is the first thing to con
eider. With it we may expect a good
growth,' an early maturity, a good egg
yield and a fine carcass; without it wo
cannot depend upon any of these results
with certainty. H nlth uud prime con
dition go band in bund, uud both mean
tho best results obtr.imitlo iu poultry.
The healthy ben is the egg typo and the
showroom specimen. Condition should
be tho first consideration. Where can
bo found a healthier, stronger uud moro
relinblo breed than tho Barred Plymouth
Bocks? Cliir.atic conditions do not affect
them. They lira bred iu all sections of
our country. They are alike indifferent
to cold or heat No matter how low tho
tempcrafuro, this popnlur American
breed attends strictly to business, and
if they nro comfortably housed at night
and kept busy during the day wo may
look fur a full nest box lit gathering
time, btill. they lay a brown egg, and
if the den n:id should lie for white eggs,
or both white uud brown, we must look
for another I reed to run side by side
with thein, lu order that the demand
for both may bo supplied.
Among the business treed which lay

To the advocates of good road tbo
prosroM rootlo iu Europe is fall of en-
renrupemeut. It wan ubout 1820 beforo
Macadam was able to arouse Scotch and
' English seutimcnt iu favor of his proj
ect lie had no army of wheelmen at
his back to eucoaruge him and to com
pel tbe public to listen, but wherever
a mile of mucuduut road was built tbe
slinrp contrast between it . and tha
wretched roads about it compelled pub-,
lio attention and approval. Telford, the
Scotch engineer, turned aside front his
great engineering projects uud auve the
uiove incut bis powerful support. In lest
than 60 ycurs tho gospel of good roadi
was spread not only llirouahont Great
Britain, but through all the settled dis
tricts 011 tbe coutiueut. Now good road
of tho luaruduui or telford type are
everywhere, writes V. M Diekiusou in
Homo Magazine. Every day in tbe year
tbo J rasont furmer of Enrope can haul
to market as heavy n load as be can
draw ocrou his I brushing floor. Ho
makes one trip insteud of two or tbree.
There is uo mud, uo stouo working up

Kor is the good roads movement in
Europe coufliied to highways tbut are
strictly necessary. It is ascoutasious a
measles. The governments ere taking it
up and building expensive roads, which.'
mast be largely for tho special delight
of tourists. A splendid road bus just
been finished from Sorrento, Italy, to .
Salerno, fully 80 miles. Except for
few inconsiderable villages it run
along tbe rocky and auinlmbitablo coast
of the gulf of Salerno, uud much of
the road is cut tlirouxb the almost per

I From L. A. V. RnUottn.J
Iu many places there aro long tmwoli
through the rock, and in others the
mark of the blasting drill where tbe rork
has been torn from the face of' tbo cliff
is to be eecu fully CO feet above the
road.
. ' This is cno of tho mosfstopendons
pecimens of modern roadbaflelinn; iu
Europe, but something hardly lest diffi
cult and rxpensito is the road now in
course of construction by tbe Swiss gov
ernment from tbe Bhoue glacier over

The road is already completed from

GRANT COULDN'T TELL HIM.
One Thing About Which the Great Gen
eral Knew Little.
The late General Ln Fayette Mc
Laws enjoyed an intimate friendship
with Grant, both as" general ami
president. - They were students to
gether at West Point, and it was
there tbe friendship that ripened in
later yeurs was first begun. Mo
Laws as a uoldier fongmkIudinna in
tho west in many cuuipuigna. He
was on the frontier undei Taylor
during the Mexican war. When tbe
civil wur broke out, he cast his lot '
with the Confederate cause, and
finally attained command of a divi-
siori tinder General Longstreet
' l)Urjng
the four years of strife
Grant never forgot his friend. Like
wise McLnws cherished the friend
ship for the Federal general.
' When General Grant was elected
president, tho friends of McLuws
urged him to apply for the &ivan -
nab iioHtofflce. The Confederate
general hesitated for a time, feeling

Like Grunt,
however, he was broad minded and
had accepted the result of the war
like a soldier and a true type of an
American citizen.. He thereuion
decided to make tbo application for
the office and took the train uortb
to seo Grant in person. The presi
dent had loft Washington for Long
Branch. Going there, .McLuws
sought him ut his cottage. He had
Homo misgivings as to how the piesi
dent woulel receive him. They had
not met in years. McLiiwh won
dored if tbe accession to the high
office of the nation had "swelled-'
Grunt's head. Approaching tho cot
tage, tho Confederate goneral found
tho president sitting on the veranda,
with his feet upon tlw balustrade,
smoking ono of those cigars which
finally helped to end bis life. Like
all other presidents. Grunt had loft
Washington to avoid the office seek,
ing iKist. and he did not want to be
distuibed in bis retreat.
"HelloT MacTWhcro did yon
come from?" was the greeting that ;

"I am truly glad to see you. t
came over hero to rsoatw, tho office
soakers. Pull up a chnir and tell
nit bow yon have Isten getting along
anil ull about yourself rineo we last
met," Grant continued, with that
warm, pletisunt and uffublnmr char
acteristic of him. -
The greeting was so 'cordial, do
spite the reuinrk about the offloo
j seekers, that General McLuws final
ly found it an easy thing to bring
up the Havnnnah postoffice mnttcr
and announced his enndidacy for
tbe ajipointinent. General Grant
assured him that he should buvo it
und thut it would give him u great
pleiistiio to make the appointment
Then they talked about their life at
West Point and reviewed their ex-1
js-rienccs covering tho years up to
thut time.
