It hee a muck demonstration to convince the Maryland farmers that roads are aprofitable investment, The work of the agricultural erperi- ment stations in this has been invaluable. and parrow tires conducted under the eyes of the farmers have defmitely shown the folly of maintaining the present system of small-tired wheels, as long as the roads are indifferent or teary bad in quality. There are two points from which to view the re lationship between the tires and the quality of the road. The experiments | have shown first that as long as the roads are in poor condition, sabjeet to | much moisture and thereby hable to | become heavy and maddy at short ao. tice, the use of the narrow tire is a | positive hindrance. power to haul a wagon so equipped, terial of the road and thas forms for C tteelf a constant ohstraction that must be overcome, But the broad tire has largely esnsed by the narrow tire, serving as a compressor and gradually compacting the material and greatly improving its condition. Thus the nse of the broad tire means a double gain. It saves in the cost of hanling, by permitting heavier loads to be hauled by the same agencies and is | less tine, and it saves, too, in the cost of road making aud in repairing. It is believed that if all rosd users could be persuaded to change the tires of their draft vehicles, especially in the districts where bad roads are the rule | rather than the exception, the nltimate cost of bringing the conntry thorough- fares up to a modern standard would within a very short time be so jow that the most comprehensive road improve ment laws could be passed withont difeunity. The present movement in d is concentrated in an effort to secure the enactment by the Legis Istare of certain pending Rill that aim at the construction of good romds by i anthorizing the people to bond then selves for this purpose. In some States much has been done by grant | ing exemptions from road taxes to those road users who have adopted the baoad tires and likewise to those who have adjusted their vehicles so that | the front and rear wheels will mot “track,” thus minimizing the chances of w the surface of the road. It has been found that with broad tires in use the amount of surfacing ms terial needed is comparatively small. ~ Washington Star. Steel Country Ronde. The steel country roads, with which the United States nt of agricul: ture is experimenting, will practically The pres- ent design ealls for an inverted trough- shaped steel rail, with a slightly raised head on the inside, and sn 8-inch trend and 7-16.inch thick. These rails would be bedded in gravel laid in well- drained trenches, and the rails would be tied sogether at the ends and st the middie. On the rails would be indented slightly to prevent the horses slipping on the rails; the joints wonld be made stronger than the rail to prevent ‘low joints.” and to prev. ent the formation of ruts alongside the rails each joint wonld forza a “‘re- | mount” for the wheels. The ad vantage claimed for these steel roads | is the redaction in traction from forty | pounds per ton on macadam to eight pounds on the steel rails materials for the beavier class of steel roads of this design will cost ahout $3,500 per mile in small quantities. The amount of material required is less than 100 tons per mile, and long lines comid probably be bmilt for $2000 per mile. The lighter type of road only requires 50 tons per mile and would cost about 31000 per mile. { These prices are exclusive of grading and track laying. The average difference between rails | { and billets for the six years, 1801 to 1806, inclusive, was 84.71 The figures for the three years 1888, 1389 | and 1890 showed that the rails could | be sold at an average of lesa thas $l ton above the price of hllets, leaving, | say, $5.72 per ton as the average exira . profit which the pool enabled the steel rail men to make.

Life Without a Stomach. The stomach has always been sap posed to be absolately essential to the proper performance of the diges tive fanctions. The fact that two people have had their stomachs re rari won moved, and that one of them is alive and apparently in the enjoyment of excellent health, upsets all precon- ceived theories as to the abwolute ne- pessity of this portion of the human anatomy. gan being hopelessly affected. asophagas was united with the canal | leading from the stomach, and there seems to be nothing wrong in the in- ternal economy of the owner of this ecarions digestive apparatas, be very careful that she does not over- joad or overtax this substitute.
