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 Is a prevailing spirit of neglect Instead immediately repairing., the little breaks, ear county officials lesve them until rods of tbe stone become unraveled. necessitating at times the expenditure of several hundred dollars per mile for repaira, wbare a few dollar woajd have been sufficient" , - ; : Bait taa 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 roller, would be slight Weak bridges are sraxtatuxtes an obstacle, bo is certain that, sitbout rolling at the proper time, the best stooe road is bound to bs flVotioyed try tbe sua, wfasd snd wan and tear. if i t : i J.

Tbe stock toon learn to lift up the lid and help them selves, and as toon as they are done it will return to position sgsin to exclude rain. This is a niuon better plan tbon to salt stock at stated periodt, or, what is worse, semistated periods, or not at all. ' . Another useful article seldom found on tbe farm is a wagon Jack. Many farmers content themselves lifting their wagons, taking the wheels only partly Off to grease, end often a good Job of greasing cannot be done in this manner, A very convenient wagon jack is tbe subject of the second illustration, which the authority already quoted describes as doing its work in a satisfactory man ner. An iron piece is made in the shsps ' . coirvxmBXT WAOoa fAC.li : v shown in tbe out, to put on the end of the lever to lift axles of three different heights. Instead of a ratchet there' ars books for the link to hitch in to bold the lever down while greasing is being done. Any farmer can make one of these without any outlay of money.

"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.

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. . .
