THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., JUNE 3, 1870.
HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We. Invite oommnnlcAtlnnn from all pemnns who lire
Inturehti'd lu matter, pruperly belonging to this de
partment. 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.
