Country Roads. Boad-niaklng as an art, eayg the Rural New Yorker, Is but poorly understood by the majority of our highway supervis ors and road-masters, and what they do know Is not always carried out. There is no doubt, a gradual improvement In our highways. The loss and Injury occasioned by gullying and wash-outs are so great that those means by which stability of the traveled way is secured are getting to be tolerably well under stood. But the other points, such as securing easy grades, conducting a road over a swamp, the management of clayey or mucky soils, and the removal of stones, both fixed and loose, are all matters in which our rural road-builders may easily improve their methods. In every farmers' club, grange, and agri cultural gathering for the discussion of rural affairs, road making should be made a matter of frequent consideration. The losses by reason of bad roads are very large far greater than the cost of maintaining good ones. But they are so uncertain as regards particular in stances, and so divided among all hands, that the sum of them is not realized as it ought to be. The load that can be drawn over a road is limited by the load that can be drawn over the worst places, just as the strength of a chain Is only the strength of its weakest link. The strains thrown upon the different parts of a wagon or carriage, upon the bolts and braces, the wheels, axles, poles, shafts, and on the harness ( to say noth ing of the horse,) by steep grades and the uneveness of the road-bed, by deep mud, and by stones, are also matters that are large enough in detail, but from a monstrous aggregate far beyond the conception of those who do not figure in regard to them. We believe that there are few traveled roads in the coun try on which the unnecessary Injury to vehicles alone would not pay, and more than pay, for the cost and maintainance of a first class turnpike. There is one thing, in particular, which would cost but little to remedy, that Is very destructive to wheels, the most costly part of every vehicle, and which is also the cause of very great injury to horses. We refer to those loose stones left upon the surface of the road waythrown upon it in fact, when the roads are repaired, and left there the whole season afterwards. These stones could be all thrown off in a very short time and at very little expense, but they are rarely attended to. How many loosen and broken tires they cause, and how many horses' feet are injured by these provoking loose stones in the roadl Other bad things, easily remedied, are holes and hollows worn In the road by wheels, and rapidly increasing in depth by the softening caused by the collec tion of water in them after rains, these holes break more axles, bolts, braces, and spokes, ten times over, than the cost of filling them up would amount to. A "stitch in time," is here mostlmport ant, but few road-masters will attend to the matter as they should. We repeat that these are things worthy of frequent discussion among farmers, so that knowledge regarding the proper remedies may be disseminated, and, above all, a public opinion be created in favor of good roads. The civilization of a community is almost as well gauged by the condition of its roads as by the quantity of soap it uses. To Boil Rice Savannah Fashion. Take one pound of rice and pick it thoroughly to get out black seeds or red rice. Put on the fire, in a porcelain or tin-lined pot, three quarts of water, with two even tablespoonfuls of salt. Let the water come to a boll. Now wash the rice in three waters. The reason for this is to get rid of the pulverized rice-flour which adheres to the grain. This is a necessity ; otherwise the rice never will be dry. Throw the rice in the water when it is at the full boil. Let the rice boil rapidly for twenty minutes. Put the cover on and drain the waterentirely off. Cover the pot, shake well, and put on the back of the stove, where it is not too hot, for fifteen minutes. This evap orates the water. Shake the rice into the dish you wish to serve it in. Never use a spoon, ltice should never be glutinous. The Ghoul ate rice, grain by crai n in the "Arabian Nights" ate properly cooked rice. O" The only effective way of curing decaying holes in trees is to make a plug of oak or other hard wood, smear it with tar, and hammer it tight into the hole until its outer surface is on the same level as the hole. If there is any recuperative power in the tree the bark will soon grow over the plug and the wound be perfectly healed, which will never happen with the concrete process. -Exchange, "'Newport Advertisements.
