Tbs only repairs which have bego

FARMERS WAKING UP.
Louisiana Agrlcnltaral Society Wants sU
Oood Beads Coawentioo.
The Louisiana Agricultural society
has appointed a committee-to wait on
Governor Tester and request bim to call
a road convention in New Orleans at
on early day. Commenting on this, the
New Orleans Times-Democrat says: I.
We ore glad to see the farmers taxing
bold of this matter of better roads.
Heretofore nearly all the agitation in
their favor has been by the bicyclists.
While. they "ore interested for good
roads mean better, longer and pleasauter
rides for them their interest is not
one-tenth that of tbe farmersf It is a
mere pleasure with them; with the
farmers it is a question of dollars and
Cents. ".;.-'--.;.';
The extra cost of hauling to market
in consequence of the thoroughly bad
and often impassable loads with which
Louisiana is aflheted often represent
the difference between profit and loss on
a crop. The cost of hauling is increased
10 per cent, and there is another 10 per
cent to be added for tbe supplies brought
back to tbe farm. With good roads the
Louisiana farmer's' profit on his crop
would be increased 90 per cent over
ers who now find at the end of the year
that they have not made a cent and that
the cost of raising, their 'crops has swal
lowed up every dollar these, crops have
brought them, would find a handsome
balance left-. .-4 -...
A road congress will not build roads,
but it wili start the agitation in their
favor, it win nave ts , mnuenoe on tne
legislature at its next session and sssure
the passage of a good road law.
i GOOD ROADS IDEA
aropasHloa
la Hew Jerae;
Baadb sliding la th School. :
A novel feature of the good roads
movement in New Jersey is tbe proposi
tion to introduce instruction on road
building into the commou,schools. The
need of .elementary Instruction in that
direction is seen every day. The state
report says: -f ; ' , : W, ' :..'
'The lKuorance that prevails among
the average rural residents regarding
the proper manner of repairing even the
common roods shows s striking necessity
for some kind of technical instruction,
guided by wbicb our ordinary b-wnahip
authorities will be able to mske the best
use of tbe ever present materials fuc
keeping the roods in proper repair.
In traveling over the country we
often see men repairing a miry roadway
by throwing mad from the ditches into
tbe middle of the roadbed. In all our
communities it is a common praetive to
scrape tbe worn out material, that bos
been repeatedly washed from tbe center
of the road, back into tbe middle of tbe
road, only to be again washed out by
the rain or to be wsded through as deep
sand. -, .'
"Cpon our lnacadam highways there

necessitating at times the expenditure
of several hundred dollars per mile for

Experience baa shown that tbs way
to preserve stone roads is to roll them
after rains with a steam roller, or where
that is undesirable with, a heavy boras
roller. Tbe steam rollers oaa be bought
for aboot $3,000, and tbe erpntae, if
each' township owned and opeialad its

"Ws doubt whether it Is practically
possible to protect late sown grain by
any covering-whatever In the climate of
western New York," says American
Cultivator. "If you have manure, how
ever, that you can spare to top 'dress the
wheat after the ground has been frosen,
that is another matter. The manure.
unless in greater amounts than 'we
should adviss for wheat will amount to
very little at protection. What effect
it will have is ss msnure after the grow
ing season ' begins, and especially to
moke a vigorous clover growth for tbe
young clover. Five or six loads per acre
thinly spread will be sufficient for this,
snd that of eoorse means that much of
tbs surface will have only a very small
amount of manure on each of tbe 48,-
o60 square feet surface that an acre
contains '
"The notion that grain straw scattered
over the fields will be of any benefit
whatever is an absurdity. Tbs straw
cannot prevent the soil beneath it from
freeslng.' But" in spring it acts as a
mulch just at tbe time when tbe young
grain needs all tbe sunlight it can get
to warm tbe soil. Bo tbs match In
spring will do aa much barm if not
mors than it gavs of benefit during the
winter. In most cases, however, fall
mulching with straw results in tbe
straw being niled next the fences by
Winds blowing across the fields, In such

FALL OF A FOREST MONARCH.

olns, tracing the wood from the fall
of the. seed in the forest mold
through nil the processes of lumber
ing until It emerges from the mill a
finished board. Mr. Harwocd says;
I had my eye on a grand old pine
standing a little away from any of
his follows, a monarch in the forest
It must have been 140 feet, perhaps
morer from tbe topmost point in its
glossy green coronal down to tbe
dead goldenrod in the snow at its
base. It was about 3 feet In diame
ter at. tbe ground, so tall, so strong,
so straight, a noble tree Indeed, in
very trutbr a king of tbe forest. It
H was the result of tbe life which
dwelt in the tiny black winged seed
wbicb was lost to view more than a
century and a half before.
While I was admiring the splendid
proportions of the tree three men
came toward roe. One was a bright
eyed, fellow, short of stature and
swarthy of skin, looking like one of
tbe Chippewa Indians whose home
this foreet hsd been for nobody
knows bow many centuries. Be
looked the tree over, stepping to this
side and to that, eyed it critically
from various points of view, and
then with a small, sharp ax cut a
keen gnsh in the trunk about n foot
above, the top of the dead goldenrod
in the snow. He was an undercut
ter, a man whose business it is to
cot into the tree on tbe side on
which it should fall, so that it may
not be broken in the fall or lodge in
the crotch of another tree. The cot
on tbe side ot the tree ia the guide
for the. sawyers. - -j..,- jt.
Tbe other men, bearing a big saw,
began cutting down tbe pine, saw
ing steadily and powerfully through
tbe fragrant yellowish white trunlt
Now and then tho undercut tor
would step up to them to see how
they were progressing. When their
saw had passed the heart of the'
pine, be placed a small, bright steel
wedge in the path of the saw and
drove it in. m
Lookout there now I" came tbe
call of tbe undercut tor as he looked
in my direction.
I made a quick scramble through
tbe deep snow, nearly tumbling
over a bidden log snd grabbing my
camera as I went I had no intention
of staying in the immediate vicini
ty, for I had seen trees like this fall
before, and I know it was a risky
thing to stand hard by. The best
directed tree will sometimes veer a
little in its fall, and woe to the one
who stands below it. Many an ex
perienced woodsman has been killed
In Just such a place; many a one baa
been caught and pinioned, perhaps
to escape with only broken legs or
ribs. In a second more tbe noble
pine came crashing down through
tbe branches of the other trees, fall
ing upon tbe frozen earth with a
noise which drowned all1 the other
noises of the forest a roar which
echoed and re-echoed through the
long, dim aisios of the forest like
tbe booming of some mighty can
nonade. . . Bea4 Ba Babaaa, r.:

I wish to call the attention
to tho fact tliatheurlington Insurance Agency, established in
189.3 byjUe lnte firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring. -Thcre
is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low
er rales or butter indemnity. Only first-claas companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my -office, With .
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correrinondcnce solicited npoq
all matters pertaining to insurance.,
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desire protection ijbr theirlfamilieti
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit-'
able investment, to confer with tarn before giving their applica
tions io other s gents.
