For instance, onu farmer told me the other day that he had some extra work to look after last summer and that he was foolish enough to hire an extra man to do hid farm work whilo he galloped down the road looking after some one else's work. Now it might appear that d person could make a fairly gcod thing ii ne earns to per mouin a i something besides farming, when ti common farrx hand can be hired tot 815 to $18 per month. The difference between $18 and $50 is quite a nice little sum, yet when we come to counl in the extras which the $18 man ha i to havo and which must be supplied from the $50 salary it equalizes thing t considerably. Still I do not tliinU here is where the great difference liesi Every true farmer has some particul lar method which no hired man cares to follow except while in sight of tho "boss," and it. sometimes happens that all the interests of the farm dc not get the attention they would if the owner was doing the work himself, as was the case of .the farmer alluded to at the beginning of this article. This, firmer said he tried his best to teach the man that was doing his work how to cultivate corn, but it was practi-. cally out of the question. He simply went over thefieldas a machine would,! regardless of the requirements of the soil. As a result a shrinkage of tif teen bushels per acre was experienced. A machine man on the farm is worse than' an unruly auimal, for they (the ani mals) can be tied down, with the as surance that they will come to time, but with the other fellow nothing can be done. Corn, like all other crops in one respect, has to be well cared for from the very beginning to get best results. Some places in the field may need deep cultivation, while others may require shallow, and if a man is so absorbed in something else that he does noaotice this difference in these places he is not on the road to success ful farming. Thus it may be easily seen that, usually speaking, if a man understands the requirements of his farm it would surely pay him as well, if not better, to stay at home and do his own work or take the place- of the $18 man instead of accepting $50 a month elsewhere; Elias P. Brown, in the New England Homestead. properly, and all who are guilty of j cf the direreEt part3 ot tne eagine and criminal neglect suouia ue puauaeu.

Continuing, he said that the people of Oswego County are helping to pay for their good roads in other counties of the State which have taken advan tage of the Higbie-Armstrong lanr. Fifty per cent, of the cost of the con struction of a road is paid uy ntate taxation, thirty-five by the county iu which the road is located, and fifteen per cent, by the petitioners for the improvement. He then explained the Fuller law, which provides that a cer tain per centage of the cost of high way improvements in towns adopting the money system is paid by the State. In this country the residents of the several road districts work out their tax. Oswego County was paying its share for the improvements to roads iu other counties of the State that have adopted the system named, and a careful inquiry should be made to as-1 certain if the Highway Ccmmissioners j aud l'athnaasters of Oswego County were nonesiiy aiscuargiugiueir uunca here. Oswego Daily Palladium. Cleau Road Metal. A principle learned from MacAdam was that "broken stone, pressed aud compacted, would cohere together aud, by the mutual friction of its parts, bear and distribute heavy pressures as well as if it actually were the smooth anu Bond slab it peems. uut wnen earth is mixed with the stone the fric tion is reduced by nearly one-half, the material is less compact and firm and is much less capable of bearing heavy loads. Moisture affects the volume of clay. Roads in which it is used rut badly in jvet weather, even though they are very thick, while thinner roads in which it is not used, but iu which the stones are pressed together by their own angles through adequate rolling, remain firm and smooth. Road metal should be clean, and free from clay. The use of clay is attractive, because, with it, light rolling seems to give a good smooth surface, but this is only temporary and is unsatis factory and expensive in tho end. L. A. W.

Tbe tender is al30 black enameled, with letters fn gold. The cab roof is made of Russia iron and the cylinders are lagged with the game material. The saddles, which are black enameled to match the ex tension front, are of cast Iron, and the drivers are made of the same material. The engine has a steam brake between the drivers, and there is also a hand brake oo the tender. The brake beams are of oak. The pilot is cast and is firmly bolted to a neat walnut cros3 piece. In each end of which are seen pockets for flags. The pilot Is provid ed with a regulation push bar. The headlight, which burns wood alcohol, Is complete with glass and reflector. The boiler, it should be said, is fired with gasoline or wcod alcohol. Note should also be made of the small lamp3 cr markers, carried on the extension front, and also of the flag pockets on each side of the headlight.

An enterprising paper in an Illinois city offers to donate $1000 to the cause of road improvement "in order to se cure hard roads for the benefit oi the farmers" of the county and for the city in which it is published. The sum of $100 will be given on the com pletion of one mile of gravel road on each of ten roads, on the following terms: "This amount of $100 shall be due and payable to the Commissioners of Highways of the township in which j said one mile of road is located for the ! particular purpose above iaentioned when ono mile has been completed from tho city limits of the city on each road respectively. The one mile on each road must be built iu a sub stantial manner, of good material, under the supervision of competent engineers, and must be completed within three years from January 1, 1899, and under specifications agreed on by three practical hard road au thorities. Improving New Jersey Highways. The annual report of the Commis sioner of Public Roads in New Jersey shows a gratifying continuance of the good work of improving the high ways. Since tho passage of the State aid law there have been built S25 miles of road at a cost of $565,826. Tho economy to the farmer in hauling products to railway or market is clear ly demonstrated, and the profit to the community at large of this investment of public money may be studied to ad vantage by the Legislatures of other States. Tho report directs especial attention to the experiment that is to be made of laying Bteel roads for heavy traffic, as suggested by Secretary Wil son, of the Department of Agriculture. The progress of New Jersey in road- building has earned in particular the approval and appreciation of bicyclists, who can now wheel with comfort from New York to Philadelphia.

The lamb that is undersized produces less wool because there is a smaller surface for H to grow on. In the course of several generations the amount of sur face may decrease by almost a square foot Count up how much wool is produced on a square foot of the sheep's hide, and yon will get at the exact loss. Then the undersized Iamb yields so much less meat for the butcher. The loss here, too, is con siderable, and when finally cent to be killed the loss on the wool and the mutton will make a rather startling sum. -But this is not the only loss bus- taineaxrom inbreeding. Thewool taad nlly grows thinner on the hide of the' poor, scrubby sheep. Only one hair" is louna wnere betore two grew. The inherent weakness of the animals shows itself in the thin crop of wool, ins same as an old man, or one suffer ing from long sickness or insidious disease. The quality of the wool nat- nraliy degenerates along with the' other things. Place the wool of a' scrub on the scales, and it is found wanting in weight Place it then be fore the sorter and quicker, and they' quickly mark it down as seeond class.

THE MODEL, ITS MAKER, AND HIS SON. (Gauge of road, 54 Inches: total weight engine and tender, 126 pounds; cylinders, 1x2 inches; boiler diameter, 5 inches: steam pressure, 110 pounds.) plate with the builder's name and the date. The boiler is of the wagon-top type. The cylinder portion was made from a five-inch boiler flue, and the fire-box is built of three-thirty-seconds - plate ard strengthened in the regular way with stay bolts. The flues are of bi cycle tubing 1 1-16 inch diameter and N?. 20 gauge. The front head of the boiler, one-fourth inch in thickness. is riveted and brazed. The tender is as carefully finished as the engine and carries a drawhead and couplings. On the tender are the usual tool boxes, with a complete set of tools, and In their proper place are found a coal pick, shovel, poker, etc. Throughout the engine provision has been made for taking up wear. The side rods are cf the solid end type. All wheels are turned with a taper to facilitate round ing tne curves.

TMa beautiful little model follows closely the lines of the well-known express engines oi tne JNew York Central rail road, of which No. 999 of Empire State express is the best-known example.

The let ters on the tender stand for the Kins man Shortline railroad, a projected road in which the citizens of Kinsman and the neighboring town of Farndale are interested. The fact that the builder of the model is not a railroad man and has never worked in a rail road shop Is another evidence of' that fact that the locomotive is an ever at tractive subject for a machinist whp he is tempted to put In his spare hours at moaei building. 9 VA w COMES 1TH a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical Ills which vanl-h hfre yr-.r-v efforts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed.

A year or two ago a yachting party from St John's, which had land ed near ape Chidley, saw an Eskimo burial. Four Eskimos hauled over tho dry ground tbe komatik, or sled, on which was the body of a hunter who had been drowned in tbe killing of a walrus. After them came in Irregular order a procession of about thirty men and women.- On a high, rocky point of land, overlooking the sea they placed tbo body in a sitting position, laid the hunte'r's paddle, harpoon. throw stick, and snowshoes beside it I and then, with stones as large a could be handled, proceeded to build a wall about the body. When the wall had been carried above the bead, they roofed it with flat stones and then built a rounded mound over tbe whole. But they left a hole In the roof so that the man could come out at any time if he wished. Then the part; ranged itself in a semicircle before the mound and one man sang a. weird chant with a chorus or refrain In which. all the others joined.' This done, they went back to their encamp ment with no further show of grief and resumed their usual occupations J In the Sandwich islands there is a spot called the Rock of Refuge. If the criminal reaches this rock before capture he is cafe as Ions; as he re mains there.
