(UraovrMffc, PRACTICAL ROAD MAKING. How Many Highways Through the Country Are Being Improved. Our two illustrations taken from the New York Times show how hun dreds of miles of roadway in the rural Slag Foundation and Broken stone Surface. districts of New York state are being improved. The slag and crushed stone roadways are popular in many other sections of the country, and where the Steam Roller Finishing the Surface. materials are not too expensive is the cheapest in the long run as they make a permanent road bed which will last for years with slight repairs. A CHEAP FARM POWER. Gasoline Engines Coming Into More General Use. An engine is a time and labor saver on a farm. With a 24-inch buzz saw, wood enough can be sawed in one day to last several months. An engine will grind feed enough in one day to last several weeks, and save toll, wear of harness and vehicles going to mill. In the dairy time and strength will be saved running the separator and churn with power. Gasoline engines are used to quite an extent by farmers and the time saved in starting them is in their fa vor. You can get first-class steam engines now that will be ready to run in 15 to 30 minutes after fire is start ed, and if in good repair are apt to run all day without stopping. Whether to get steam or gasoline, must be de cided by everyone for himself. If you have a wood lot, a buzz saw and a steam engine, you have the fuel prob lem settled. Be sure to get an engine that is large enough. I first bought a small steam engine, using kerosene for fuel. 1 found it too small for some of my work and fuel too expensive, so I ex changed for a larger size. This low ered my pocketbook some. I now use a three-horse power boiler and two horse power engine on a small farm. 1 run a bone cutter, emery wheels, grindstone, buzz saw and a small farm feed mill. I can saw two cords pole wood pe* hour, grind two bags feed per hoi •, cut 100 pounds bones per hour, gum saws and grind axes in a prompt and vigorous manner. I have found my workshop and engine a very satisfactory investment. FARM NOTES. Buy a good file and keep your tools sharp. It will lighten work wonder fully. Quality is more Important than quan tity in any kind of stock raising. Tha extra price more than makes up for the deficiency in numbers. It is no greater hardship for a boy to provide dry wood for his mother to cook his meals than it is to beat ail the old liars at the crossroads store at their own game. Little pigs should have a separate trough from their mother and the oth er hogs during the weaning period. In that way they are taught to eat and really wean themselves. Agriculture is one of the oldest, vo cations known, but there is no other business about which so little Is known and which affords such unlim ited possibilities for improvement. Winter Time. Winter is the farmer's vacation time, but he can improve it to good advantage by posting himself on the innovations in agriculture. Following old methods is not the road to fortune in this age of progression. Start That Set of Books. Have you started that set of books yet? Unless you keep an account? of your expenditures and receipts dur ing the year you will never know what your profits and losses were. Plow Deep. Improvements on the farm should be, better farming by plowing deeper and using more farm-made manure, more thorough cultivation, better drainage, and more scientific balanc ing of the live stock I EAW Y NORTHWEST VOYAGE 9. Bom* Account of the Arctic Tript That Have Been Mad*. Beginning with the American dis coveries of John Cabot in 1497, the search for the northwest passage was for many years the object of rival ex -1 peditions from Denmark, England, Franco and Portugal, says A. W. Greely, in the Century. It was Frobish ; er, however, who in 1576-78 first gave a distinct national character to the quest. John Davis of Davi£" strait, i followed in three voyages, 1585-88, and then, in 3C12, came the illustrious and hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto was that explorera should "achieve what they had undertaken or else give reasons wherefore it will not be." The search for the Atlantic side closed for two centuries with the voy age of a great seaman, William Baf fln, who, in a tiny boat of 55 tons, with a miserable equipment, but an un daunted heart, attained, in 1616, the highest north in the western hemis phere, 77 degrees 45 minutes N., and discovered three radiating sounds, Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last being the eastern entrance to the long ■ought passage. BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out —Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate hor most, especially nights. They would cause her to bo broken in her rest, and sometimes «he would cry until she waa tired out. 1 had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuti cura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cu ticura Ointment her feet wero well and have never troubled her since. 1 also used it to remove what is known as "cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura j Ointment on hand in case of any 1 little rash or insect bites, as it takes I out the inflammation at once. Per haps this may be the means of help ing other suffering babies.

Among the lucrative sources of rev i enue of the pope before the separa j tion of church and state in France was i the toll or tax on titles of nobility and decorations. Since the rupture the French government no longer rec ognizes the ennobling titles and dec orations of the holy father. To have the right to wear the Vatican ribbon, or to be called count. It was necessary to obtain a confirmation of title. This gave much perplexity to the candi dates. The question has Just been settled. Queen Wilhelmina has consented to validate such titles and distinctions, j The result has been an amusing pil grimage to The Hague—and also in an increase in the price of these pon tifical favors. In the last few weeks the French I Knights of the Golden Spur, of tha Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory the Great, of Pius IX. have greatly in creased. HOME-MADE CATARRH CURE. Sufferers Should Make This Up and Try It Anyway. Any one can mix right at home the I best remedy of its kind known.

He has succeeded in sending photographs and sketches six or seven inches square in this manner from Munich to Nuremberg, a distance of 100 miles, in from 10 to 15 minutes. 1847—1907. 60 years ago Allcock's Plasters were first introduced to the public.

The "Thunderer.'* Judge Rentoul's reference on the bench to the Times as the "Thunder er" reminds us how remarkably this nickname has persisted. The Morrr j ing Post Is no longer "Jeames;" the ! Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp" since the decease of the Morning Her ald —the "Mrs. Harris" to whom it would allude as an independent au thority, and the two represented the same proprietor. But the Times is still the "Thunderer." It owes that name to Captain Edward Sterling, who ii said to have begun a Times article with tho words: "Wo thundered forth the other day an article on the subject ' of social and political reform." —Lon- don Chronicle. The revelations regarding fraudu lent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commis sioner, have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked "Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so called "White Leads" contain not an iota of genuine White Lead. The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their con tents. That would enable every paint buyer to buy intelligently. "Is your husband up yet?" asked the sour-faced woman at the door. "I expect he is," was the reply. "I'd like to see him for a few minutes." "So would I. He hasn't come home yet."—Milwaukee Sentinel.
