It is a mistake to suppose that the

and to many the principal object, it is
by no menus the only one, for a rapid
growth cannot bo expected unless the
soil is frequently stirred to keep the
surface light aud loose. As soon after
a heavy rain as the soil permits, the
garden should be well cultivated, to
prevent a crust forming ou the sur

GOOD KOADS NOTES,
Kailnnitl Alii Wnnto.l.
7r FEW years ogo the oppo-
lieuts of tho good roads
movement charged the
League of American Wheel
men with sellish motives iu wanting
better roads simply to improve cycling
jouditious. This was admitted to be
true iu a small way only, for the
League maintained that good roads
wtro au ecouotuio necessity for nil
classes. It has convinced numerous
igrioultnral orgauizatious nud thou
sands of farmers in all sections of the
truth of the statement, aud from these
.'onverts the League expects to show
its allied support.
Nor will the argument of selfishness
iu desiring pood roads obtain, for
whererer entire highways arc not ob
tainable tho League is working tor
de-paths which cau bo built at an
iverago cost of SliK) per mile and
which tho wheelmen are ghil to pay
for au.l maintain out of their own
pockets. It is realized, however, that
omnlete highways are more desirable
for cycling as we'll as tho public wel
fare;' hence the policy of the L. A. W.
to continue its work for road improve
ment and even to extend the scope of
its agitutiou.
Iu recent years tho good roads work
.lone by the' National (iovcrniuent has
oeeu upon a most miserable scale, its
.utile assistance being confined to au
Oilico of Iloud Inquiry attached to the
IVpartmeut of Agriculture, which was
illowed ?so,)'l a year for the expenses
of its operation, previous to this year,
when Congress appropriated the sum
if $1 1,00:1, which will pay ouly the
-ularics and expenses connected with
the ollicc, lu the past, as will be the
use in the future, the road experts of
.his ollicc, when attending road con
ventions or meetings, have had to
nave their expenses paid by the or
.;auizatio':s calling them. That iov
rument officers should have to labor
tuder such an embarrassment is u re-
roach to our National ( iovernment.
Tho L. A. W. wauts this eouditiou
eetitled as well as material appro
priations for hiahwiiy building, and
the adoption of the planks will bo a
long step in the desired direction.
Fifty years ago, and previous, 'the Nil

niiiding r -: is en a largo scale, but

Every spring you dean the house you
live in, to get rid of the dust iind dirt which
collected in the winter. Your body, the
hose your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up during the winter with all manner of
filth, which should have been removed from
clay to day, but was not. Your body needs
cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver,
your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and
you don't clean them out in the spring,
you'll be in bad odor with yourself and
everybody else all summer.
DON'T USE A HOSE to clean your
body inside, but sweet, fragrant, mild but
positive and forceful r CASCARETS, that
work while you sleep, prepare all the filth
collected in your body for removal, and
drive it off softlv. eentlv. but none the less
