ON AJew and Strong Factor Added to Foreee Working In This Direction. Hlakwars Should Be Level aad Straight. The automobile Is so natural an evo lution and Alls such a long felt want thut there can be no question as to Its career, says John Jacob Astor In Pitts burg Dispatch. Every Improvement Iti transportation Is a dlstluct gain, and ever since the aborigine found , that tlie earth would bear part of lt burden If he dragged Instead of car rledlt Improvement lias been going on. The automobile will undoubtedly do more for good roads than all other fac tor combined, because while bringing health and pleasure to those using It for enjoyment It will be a great conven ience to the business man and will In crease the profit of the farmer, so that all these will have a common Interest In extending Its sphere and In provid ing what It must have to give good re sultsthat Is, good roads. To produce a practical country road the location, if it Is a new road. Is the first consideration. Avoid steep hills for two reasons. A steep bill reduces the possible load and makes the main tenance expensive on account of wash ing during every heavy rain. Six to eight feet of elevation to every 100 feet of length Is about as steep as a hill should be, and a uniform standard of only 5 per cent Is much better. Next in Importance to easy grades Is stralghtness. The straight line being the shortest distance between two points,' the road engineer should see to its application. When the alignment Is decided, fill all low and soft places with such surface stones as the country traversed possesses. After this spread about six Inches of broken stone. If you have a stone crusher, nearly flat over the width of road, sprinkle it tbor- oughly with a watering cart mounted on tires eight . Inches wide and roll HARD ON BOBSKS OB AUTOHOBILSS. thoroughly with a steam roller. After this spread an equal thickness of fine stone, sprinkle and roll as before, and the road Is done. The largest size of crashed stone should not exceed one Inch In diameter, and the' smaller pieces should be no larger than almond.'; the more Irregu lar of course the better, since Irregu larity helps them to knit. In bringing an old country road up to the standard It Is best to attack the hills. Cut r through their tops aad put the material thntx obtained in th dips between This kills. twp birds lth one stone and it easily worked, Waco material Is al ways being moved to lower- level. The . road- should b widened toward tnf fence and the excessive crown re moved, and provision 'tnnst always be made-for carrvinr- water under the road by' a sufficiently large pipe when the line crosses a gully or any place that may ever contain a stream. ' The road maintenance and better ments -also call for an ordinance re quiring the use of rubber for very wide tires by all vehicles, the wiain inoreaa- lnf with the weight carried. - The 'more a road la used by vehicles so equipped the better It will become, especially If the surface Is nqt rough ened by the feet of horses struggling to drag their loads up steep hius. It baa been demonstrated In Massa chusetts and New Jersey that the farm er la the friend of good roads If some one will show him how to build them and helo to Day for them. There should ba national and state aid, for the conn- try and state as well as the local com munities have use ror we runua auu should pay their share In creating and maintfilnlnir them. The first move Kbould be In the direction of co-opera- fin. Th aecond should be the forma tion of a practical system capable of expanding and taking in tne enure country. In this way we might create a amtem of national highways such as we find In several European conntrles-- To secure co-ordination and a nann uni ons system when completed the work must, of course, be guided by federal officers. - . No Investment could be safer for the rrniwt Rtatea government tnan skiidj the Improvement of public roads, which add so materially to the wealth of a country, and this may lead op to the .tvrtnn of a treat Mtioaal high way across the continent. Such a road Should be an object lesson and have a wuiidai inflnenea br encouraging In tercourse between different sections of the country. . .

Mot Iteeeat Developmeat. ant Stead? Growth of Yeara, In appearance the demand for high' way Improvement is a sudden develop ment, but lu reality It is the manifests tlon that Is sudden, says the New York Tribune In a recent editorial, Forces of which the work Is now visible have been In steady operatlou for years, and the result suggests the analogy of wa ter on the verge of boiling, which gives only slight Indications of what has been going on below the surface. The passage of the Hlgbie-Armstrong act, under which the reconstruction of public roads Is proceeding In this state, was not responsive to a strong general demand. In the view of many mem bers of the legislature 'who voted for the measure It was conceded rather to the Importunities of a few Individuals whose good Intentions were recognized. but whose practical wisdom was doubt ed. Even Its most earnest advocates were not prepared to see Its utility so quickly vindicated by local applications far outrunning the state. appropriation. The simple explanation of thu steady and rapid advance of the good roads ca'.me Is, as we have repeatedly said, that the proof of Its right to prevail Is absolutely convincing wherever It is practically presented. - There Is noth ing to be said on the other side to which a man thinks it worth while to listen who has once driven a loaded vehl n owr a road converted within his observation from a bad to a good condition. For him the demonstration Is complete, and he forthwith becomes an apostle. ' Such Is the universal and unbroken experience. It Is a remark able fact that the movement ban never received a setback anywhere. . It has Inevitably gone forward from a smull beginning more rapidly' In some local! ties than In others, but it has not retro graded In a single Instance. AGITATION FOR ROADS. Edaeatloa la llarlnaT Ita Effect aad the Good Work Is Grewlnc. Some sage has said that the civiliza tion of a country is kIiowd by Its roads, says Harper's Weekly. This being true, It Is to be hoped that the agitation now making head In different parts of the country will not cease until we are as well provided for In. this way as the best "of the ancients. Of course our railroads surpass all-their facilities for transit, but If our ordlnary"roads were to be left as long without care as some of the prehistoric highways that have been discovered In various parts of the world they would look like "the roads In Scotland before they were made. But there has already been progress, and tho methods of Macadam, whom Scott referred to as the "Colossus of Roads," are being applied In a modified form In every part of the country that boasts of gravel pits. Road building has become a science worthy the attention of the most skill ed engineers, and experts are1 already abroad In the land. Jhe province of Ontario baa for some years past been setting an example that-might be fol lowed with profit In all our states. The government employs an engineer to oversee road building and to teach the art to all municipalities willing to team. In this country the agitation has been left largely to Interested par tiesthe bicyclists and automobile In terests but the good work Is growing, as shown by the convention recently held In Buffalo. OIL SPRINKLED ROADS. Bow to OkTlato Their Oalr Serleaa Dleadraataa-e. . There are advantages and disadvan tages In oil sprinkled roads, according to the experience of the park commis sioners In San Francisco. The dust Is certainly laid, and driving In the parks where the roadways have been thus treated Is freed from the discomfort of dirt In the eyes and lungs of drivers and horses, while the foliage and grass along the highways are as green as If dally rain washed. Complaints of the horse owners are conflned to the Injury done their cloth ing and their vehicles by the flying bits of oil soaked sand. This last the eon. mUsloners promise to remedy.- When the 'roads have become sufficiently packed, they will be covered , with a thin layer of white ssuu. There Is a bint In this last for road- makers elsewhere, as sprinkling with oil instead of water has become wide spread this summer, particularly In the aouth, where the good roads movement hi enjoying a belated" popularity. An other bint to be borrowed from the Calif ornlans la In using the oil hot, whereby the materials of the roadbed axe practically cemented. aUeUasT Baaae aa Flat Laad. On comparatively flat lands, where slope g slight and water moves slowly, all grading material should be taken from the lower ditch, and col verts should be supplied wherever 'water ways occur. The tendency of 'road workers to attempt to carry water" long distances In upper itcbes sdoum oe discountenanced, as It aeeps through and Into the roadway, softening ap the grade. The only obstruction to -the flow of water down these slopes should bo the grade, which would force the atorm water Into the low places, where It could be quietly pot across the road with proper culverts. In fact, on flat lands there should be no upper ditch. loot WMIo tho Kaleae Preached.

The accompanying cut, shown here through the courtesy of "The "Farm Journal, Philadelphia, was from a pho tograph sent to that paper without any explanation as to Its owner 'or loca tion.' In addition to the regular hen house, which has a very neat, com fortable appearance, an old omnibus which has apparently outlived Its use fulness to Its Jlrst estate has been transformed Into a sort of traveling hennery. Whether the owner has his hens so trained that at the cry of "All aboard!" they will climb In for a ride to fresh fields and pastures new we will leave to our readers for their solu- tion. But the possiumt es of such a traveling shelter are obvious. A flock of bens could be taken to the grain- fields after harvest, where not only ."A1X ABOABDl the fallen grain, but the numerous In sects, would be quickly and cheaply transformed into eggs, or In case pas tures or meadows abound with Insect life or orchards or berry fields arc at-' tacked with Insect enemies the beus ! would accomplish a double good at j small expense. In some localities such a house might Invite the attacks of marauders, either two legged 'or four j leggea, nut not more so man ninny or the permanent houses one sees through the country. But such a bouse might, after the inmates are settled for the night be drawn Into the barn and lock ed up securely. One often sees poultry quarters' made from materials whose first use was entirely foreign to any such purpose. We have seeu several discarded street cars us'ed for poultry and an occasional abandoned freight car. Piano boxes. make very good homes for a small flock, while these and large dry goods boxes can easily and cheaply, be transformed Into bouses suitable for bantams or for growing stock. We bare known of a section of a large hollow tree being fitted up Into a very comfortable henhouse. Probably the' latter Is less common now than In the early history of the country. Poultry Monthly. The New Wrnadottee. The new variety of Wyandottes, called Sliver Penciled Wyandotte, Is a beautiful fowl, but beyond all this they are wonderful egg producers, A lot are known to bave been batched early In July, 1900, which began to lay about Christmas.' Two of them bave continued to lay right along for seven months. During May these two bens laid, one, twenty-one eggs: the other, twenty-three eggs. For 210 days, end ing July 20, these two bens have laid 297 eggs between tbem. If the ratio could be maintained, these two bens might produce In the full 80S days 259 eggs each. But It Is to be pre sumed that they cannot continue at this rate much longer. This new va riety Is a combination of tbe original Silver Laced Wyandotte and tbe Dark Brahma. In tbem has been united tbe blood of two of tbe best general pur-1 pose fowls we bave. None of our American breeds Is belter for eggs and market poultry than the first Wyandotte thai was originated In up per New York state. Fully their equal is tbe Dark Brahma. The union of the two has produced 9 fowl thai lias tbe Wyandotte shape with the Dark Hrab ma color. Tbe credit of originating tbe new variety belongs to Cayuga county, N. I. Couutry Gentleman.

Peo ple test tbe eggs to find out whether tbe eggs are fertile or not prior to the term they are duo to batch. This en ables tbem to select tbe clear from the fertile eggs.

Cher afar Work Well Toeether, tat Special Tratalae la Keeeaaarr. My chicks have been kept In cat proof coops for three or four weeks and then Imi ikkI out, the chicks to run, while the bous are confined In slatted coops. There Is still danger from cats at that age, but I would rather risk los ing a few and give them the benefit of the range than save all from cats and have only such chicks as are grown In very, close quarters. There have been several cats about, but the chicks were out for a long time before the cats mo lested them at all. Then one day 1 went home at noon and, going out to feed the chicks, noticed first that light Brahma cblck which I was par- ticuiarly anxious to raise because when i..hm, . . ,,,.k ,. batched be was nearly black, was not there. I hunted high and low, but could not find him. Then I counted other broods In that part of the yard and found that two more chicks were miss ing. That afternoon I cbored about the nlace and kept on the alert for a dls- I turbance among the chicks. About the middle of the afternoon I heard a com motion and arrived on the scene Just lu time to see a neighbor's cat disappear with a chick. Being sure of the cat, I Informed the neighbor, and the cat has not been seen since, nor did any more chickens disappear until severs! weeks later. Then late one afternoon I saw a half grown kitten dragging away a cblck that would weigh about a pound. As the chick seemed to be very much alive I went after the cat When I approach ed, it dropped the chick and ran. That evening aud again next morning I watched for Its return with a gun, but It never came back. Inquiry discovered that It was a cat that had been aban doned by a family recently moved away. Hunger prompted It to bunt, and the chicks came handy. We can hardly blame the cat under , such circumstances, and I think that In perhaps the majority of cases where cats kill chicks tbe fault Is with the owners of the cats. Many people purposely keep their cats short of food to Induce tbem to bunt mice snd rats. Tbe usual result Is thst they bunt wbnt comes most convenient. The best mousers and ratters we have had bave been cats that killed their prey, but rarely ato It. Tbe best cat we ever bad caught comparatively few mice and rats, , but patroled the place so thoroughly that she frightened them away. In a great many cases poultry keep ers are to blame for cats killing chicks. They leave an occasional dead chick where a cat finds It. The est ests It, acquires a taste for young chicken and soon begins to kill. This Is not a de fense of the chicken killing cat; It Is an explanation. The cat that kills chickens ought not to.be allowed to live, but as cats as well as chickens that Is, some cats are useful It Is cer tainty the best policy to have cats taught and trained Jo let chickens alone and to allow no others about. Cor. Farm Poultry. An latelllgeal Oaeae. A writer In Our Animal Friends re lates several anecdotes that show the Intelligence of animals and birds. Tbe following Is among tbem: "At Ardglass, County Down, Ireland. Is a long tract of turf coming to tbe edge of the rocks overtutnglug tbe sea, where cattle and geese feed, At a barn on this tract there was a low In- closure, with a door fastened by a book and staple to tbe side post: when tbe book wss out of tbe stanle, tbe door fell open by Its own weight I one day saw a goose with a large troop of goslings coming off tbe turf to tbts door, which was secured by tbls book In tbe staple. The goose waited for a moment or two, as If for the door to be opened, and then turned around as If to go away, but what she did was to wake a rush at the door and, making a dart with her beak at tbe point of tbe book, nearly threw It out of tbe staple. 8b repeated this maneuver and. succeeding at tbe third- attempt, tbe door fell open and tbe goose led ter troop In with a sound of trium phant chuckling. How had tbe goose learned .that tho force of tbe rush was needful to give tbe book a sufficient tossr ' trswldlaa Dytasr. Ws art requested to give tbe cause of ducklings dying, tbe following letter coming from Orleans, Canada: "Will yon kindly teU us tbe cause of so many of our young ducklings dyingT We have Just commenced dock raising and our present loos Is not encouraging.

No government, however corrupt, selfish, venal, extravagant and ex acting, can bring a population to starvation in a land like Turkey, Grapevines run all over the houses, The Turkish vineyards are incom parable. . J. he poor Turk takes lit tle trouble about his agricultural implements. His plow is much like that whicb .Noah must have used, for it is simply a lonsr piece of wood with a yoke of oxen at one end of it and a single handle at the other. With this the rayah just scratches the sbil. The crops are usually mag nificent, but the waste is immense. Horses, mules and donkeys go load ed to market, but the road is strewn with grain leaking from old sacks, and thousands of turkeys which may bo bought at 12 cents apiece feed on the dropping corn. Thousands of sheep flourish on the vast pasture lands of the wide valleys. Vet the people do not ear voraciously of animal food. They only need a little lamb or mutton to shred into fragments, that they may stew it with rice into the delicious dish called "pilaff." The Turks rel ish their glorious watermelons. They can contentedly-live as ap proximate vegetarians. No nation is at so little expense for dietetic commodities. The cows do not give very much milk, but that milk is almost as rich as cream. Cotton grows splendidly in many parts of the empire, and so does tobacco. Olives, apples, pears, all sorts - of plums, peaches, apricots, pomegran ates, tomatoes, melons, squashes, quinces, oranges and lemons abound in the poorest gardens. The prov inces which owe allegiance to the sultan would feed ten times (lie population now inhabiting them. At the bottom of the wonderful physical vitality of tho Turkish race is the universal ahstinenco of the common people. They are the most abstemious race on the earth and the healthiest. Tho soldiers, peas ants, merchants and members, of the learned professions never touch alcohol, although the upper classes of Constantinople drink considera bly. The Authoress and th Artist A good story is told of Morelli, Italy's famous painter, which will bear repetition. An authoress of note was in Naples mid very much desired to know him, but could find no one tp act as intermediary. So at last she took her courage in her hands and resolved to introduce her self, but not without qualms. As she approached she found the studio door open one more cause for em barrassment ami, pushing a cur tain to one side, stood before the artist at work, who, looking at her absentmindedly, said : "Theso lines seem to bo all right. What do you say?" And to her murmured responso he went on: "But the eyes of tho nuns do not suit me; pray sit down a moment; yours are just tho thing." With inward delight the lady sat down and acted as model for an hour and a half, during which writer and artist talked as though they had been friends all their lives. At a certain point Morelli stopped abruptly, took off his glasses, peered at his handsome model and said, But, excusQ me, who are you? HI On Topi of Conversation. Sir Walter Scott bad a clever friend who was once utterly bsftled by a stranger in a stagecoach. The friend, who wished to converse, as sailed the stranger on all hands and t last expostulated. "I have talked to you, my friend," said he, "on all the ordinary subject -lilcraiurc, farming, merchandise, gaming, game laws, horse races, suit al law, politics and swindling, blanphcmy and philosophy. Is there any one subject thst you will favor me by opening upon ?" "Sir," said he in reply, can rou say anything clever about bend leather?" Host people, like 8ir Walter, would confess they wonld have been as much nonplused aa bia acquaintance. Perhaps tho man who was only interested in "bend leather" wss past bop for conversational purposes. Oentlo- Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Pafceaitky KMaey Kale tapir Moat. !
