ROOFED COUNTRY ROADS.
To a large extent in the South and
Southwest the highways are of two
distinct sorts—in local parlance, turn
piles and mud roadx.
The former title covers the main
State roads, often constructed with
great care cost, and unusually macada
mized. The latter includes the great
majority of country roads; and for
nine months or more every year the
name is exactly descriptive of their
character. They are emphatically
mud roads, and the mud is deep and
tenacious.
Plank roads are sometimes tried
where lumber is cheap, but they rest
under the disadvantage of being ex
pensive, and they are neither durable
nor easily kept in repair. Accordingly
mud roads predominate, and the com
munities possessing them are little
given tosocial or commercial intercourse
with neighbors save during the brief pe
riods when the mud is dry and the
wheeling passably good.
An exception to this rule appears in
Bosier Parish, Louisana, where an at
tempt has been made to keep an im
portant earth road dry and usable by
the novel device of roofing it, so as to
keep off the rain. The first stretch of
covered road on this plan runs from
Red Chute Bridge, Louisania, four
miles across Red River bottom, near
Shrieveport. The idea originated
with J. D Watkins, of Shrieveport,
and, as is the usual fate of new ideas,
it aroused no little popular ridicule.
Judge Watkins was not a man to be
laughed down. Obtaining a State
charter for his enterprise he began to
build the road. His opponents com
plained that he was obstructing the
parish road, and attempted to stop the
works; but ample and lawful room
having been given for the parish road
their opposition came to nothing. It is
now four years since the work was be
gun, and Mr. J. S. Williams, of Shrieve
port, who has been connected with the
enterprise from the beginning, informs
us that the road is a complete success.
At the time of his m-iting, in March,
while the uncovered roads were axle
deep in many places with stiff mud,
the shed roads was firm and dry.
In building the road, the bed, 18
feet wide, was thrown up just enough
to keep out the surface water; and
over it was put a roof of plank five
eighth inch thick, the planks being 12
inches - wide and 20 feet long. Cy
press from the neighboring swamp is
used for posts, and roughly sawed
timber for frame work. By means of
an ingenious platform mounted on a
common two-horse wagon and support
ing a light framework, four men easily
put up 20 sections, of 20 feet each, a
day. The cost of the road was about
$3,500 a mile, with lumber at $1 a
hundred feet, labor $1 a day, posts 12£
cents each, earthwork 20 cents a cubic
yard, and nails 5 cents a pouud. The
advantages of the road arises from its
cheapness, as compared with any other
style of road possible there, its dura
bility, and its unvarying serviceable
ness. The native clay soil, when kept
dry, makes a better roadbed than
either wood or stone, and the road is
easily kept in repair. The wagons do
not touch the woodwork, and the roof
will last five times as long as plan ks
laid upon the damp earth. Though
the sides are not enclosed, the rain
does not drive in enough to make the
roadbed muddy, much less wash it.
In short the practical test of the road,
on the score of cheapness and efficiency
has been so satisfactory that the r di
cule and opposition it first awakened
have been overcome, and other roads
on the same plan are about to be con
structed.
PROTECTION AGAINST MOS
QUITOES AND FLIES.
Quassia water is, according to a cor
respondent of Nature, a protection to
peach trees against insect blight. The
first year the trees bore well and the
new wood was elbow length, or more.
I next tried quassia in the vinery. In
stead of lime-washing the walls to get
rid of the green fly, one watering with
quassia dismissed them in a day. My
head gardener, who had previously
much experience in nursery grounds,
wondered that he had never heard it
before. He now uses It in all cases as
protection from flies and blight. The
dilution goes a long way ; one pound of
chips of quassia wood boiled and re
boiled in other water until he has
eight gallons of the extract for his gar
den engine. He finds it inadvisable to
use it stronger for some plants. This
boiling makes the quassia adhesive,
and being principally applied to the
underleaf, because most blight settles
there, it is not readily washed off by
rain.
And now as to gnats and mosqui
toes. A young friend of mine, severely
bitten by mosquitoes and unwilling to
be Jeen so disfigured, sent for quassia
chips and had boiling water poured
upon them. At night, after washing,
she dipped her hands into the quassia
water and left it to dry on her face.
This was a perfect protection, and con
tinued to be so when ever applied.
At the approach of winter, when flies
and gnats get into houses and some
times bite venomously, a grandchild of
mine, eighteen months old, was thus
attacked. I gave the nurse some of my
weak solution of quassia to be left on
his face, and he was not bitten again.
It is innocuous to children, and it may
be a protection against bed insects,
which I have not had the opprotunity
of trying. When the solution of quas
sia is strong it is well kuown to be an
active fly poison, and is mixed with
sugar to attract flies, but this is not
strong enough to kill at once.
If you want to go to heavin' before
you die, take an emetic.
When a deep sleep falls on a man he
does not mind it so much as when a
few square yards of plastering come
down or a chimney tumbles over on
him.— Keokuk Gate City.

A correspondent of an eastern paper
writes: "Last season I kept the strip
ed bugs from my cucumbers by satur
ating ashes with kerosene, and apply
ing a handful on a hill."
An uptown jeweler hung a watch in
his window and labelled it "Look at
this watch for $10," and the unsophis
ticated gentleman from Africa who
stared at the article and then went in
and wanted the $lO, had to get down
on the floor with the jeweler and roll
over and under him a number of times
before be could be made to understand
that he couldn't have any $lO.

This disease like many others is regarded
aJ* incurable. It is not so. It it is taken in
time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is- attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to l>e here

Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be profitable to them
to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a
BETTER ARTICLE Or FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT, l
out of the same number of bushels of wheat titan any other Mill in the
county, and equal to any Mill in the city, or Western Mills.
The new Under-running Mill, mod for Rpgrinding, bought of Munson & Bro.,
Utica, N. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier bought
' at Jackson, Mich., together with Bolting Cloths,
ileals, Conveyers, &c., suitable lor
the Machinery, cannot be
Excelled in the United States
or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub
lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given
our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and
Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do.
We are also remodeling our Mill for

A NEW DEPARTURE!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows of the past few years have
been superior to those made half a century
j ago.
It combines all the exceUencles of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
j other Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It win be
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A flrstrClas3 Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and It Will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its nioUl board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which la
also a great Improvement, both as regards
etrength and wear.
The Jointer can be Shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Woollen beams are going out of use because
tliey «irlnk, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
tend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When we say a Mold board is chilled, the
fanners know It Is so.
We do not palm off on thern a composition
Of various metals and call it chilled inetaL
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town in this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It -will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
C ~ft~ This Is the only Steel Chilled Plow in 1
the World. .
Steel costs several times more than Iron. i
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small >
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. 1
Compare tills price with that ol any Iron Plow j
ever made. I
It is cheaper than any other Plow now s
made would be at five doUars and a half.
Where there are no agents we will, on re- 1
celptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight. Address,
