Of all the works J:uan that come within the province of the civil engi neer. there are few, if any, which call for more careful attention, and more ininediate rciro' on the first signs of disintegration. than the common turnpike m::cadaur:ed road.

Under this method the solid portions of the road reeire ust as much care as those which have develop;ed set t spots and show the need of more exteadedl repair. The top dressing res no better purpose than to tcmnporarily cove~r up' tbc damage of the last season's tray l, and in a few weeks' time the sur face is about as badly, if not more, broken up than before. Matters gto from worse to worse until there is a call for drastic remfedlies. In oino cases out of ten -eie drastic remedy consists in breaking up the entire surface, and practicaily rebuilding the road. Now. it has been pro;'ed to a der.t onstratiog. not merely in Europe, but in certain sections of this country where the maintenance of roads is intelligently and conscientiousl' car ried on, that if a macadatmized road be properly built in the lirst instance, with firm foundation, adequate drain age, and an ample crown to shecd the water from its surface; and if a small force of men, answering to the sec tion gang on a steam railroad, be kept constantly employed in repair ing any incipient wear of the road, such a highway need never be re built, but will be good for all time. That is the great lesson which needs be enforced by the advocates of good roads. When it has been brought home, and commissioners have learned to maintain their new roads in absolutely first-elass condition, so that the value of a utacadamized road will be ap~par'ent, not merely in the first few monthts of its life, but con tinuously through the succeeding years-then, and not till then, we may lookt for the rapid extension of a system of macadamized highways throughout the whole of the United States.-Sciintific Amlerico'n.

The incuba tor must be closely watched though, during the hatch, for it is very apt to run too high these warm days, and the little chicks either cannot break through the shell, or come out weak and soon die off. The lamp in a hot air machine should often be put out entirely during the middle of the day. and turned up weil at night. Good brooders are as essential as good incubators. Beware of one that is not well ventilated, but one with too great a circulation of air will be hard to heat and the chicks will be in great danger of being chilled. The former evil is greater here. however. A brother poultry man who has great success in raisiug little e icks, rarely losin~g one, had some ittle children visiting at his home. In the afternoon thcy were playirsg abeout one of the broaders. and know ing no hatter, pushed the ventile-ting slid: entirely in. In the mornino the p)ou:lrynian was dismeayed by opening the brooder to find several dead chicks. The heat was all right, he fed nothing but a "baby chick feed," he could not imagine what the trotie was till he noticed the closed slide. Opening it at once, he lost no more chickens in that brood. On :his account brooders made for Northern climates and working successfuliy thero, are death traps for brooder chcks is used in this section. Th diference .between the temper atre inside the brooder and the out sidc air is not great eco:ngh to cause sailicienlt circulation through the small openings provided for v'entila tors. We bought two such brooders.' which were highly recommended and cost a good sum. We were inexperi encedl then and could not understand why we lost so many chicks in these two when in those of another make the little follows were growing well. After replacing a glass plate in the top of the nursery chamber with some fine wire screen cloth, the brooders did fairly good work. Dut it is bet ter to buy those that are especially adapted to this climate. This, with a good baby chick food of finely ground mixed grains, pure, fresh water, a l!ttle charcoal, fine grit, soie green food and careful atten tion To regular feeding hours and to keeping the chicks out of wet grass and sharp winds will raise from a ood hatch a fine lot of marketable rolers that will well repay for the time and trouble spent. It is hatch ing at the right scason. keeping the little chicks alive and growing rapid ly, and marketing them as soon as they are of broiler size. that makes the business of broIler raising such a profltai1i one.

These spores are then carried abo:it by the wind, many of them fnuding lodgmnent in the seed of neighboring plants. They are thus planted with the grain and the 4anie moisture, warmth, etc., which starts the plant into renewed life quickens the smut. It thus han pens that many youug plants are. in earliest infancy, attacked by the smut P;iemy, which, hav'ing gained en trance, lurks within the plant until blooming time, when it breaks forth in irs -eli-recognized form. Only very young plants are susceptible to attack of the smut, therefore if we can so treat the seed of the plants as to destroy the adiering spores of the fungus without injuring the grain, we can enable the young plant to pass the critical stage of its existence in safety. It is thereafter safc. Suh treatneat is possible. Smut can :rroor. e be practically eliminated iroii the field. Several kinds of trcainmeat are effective, but of all those known, that by formula is by ,a:- the best and cheapest. Formalin can be purchased from a druggist at a cost of from seventy five to ninety-five cents per pound. One pcund mi::ed thoroughly with forty to fifty gallons of water is s-f ficient to treat forty to fifty bushels of grain. To treat the grain Zprcad i. in a thin layer on a smooth barn floof and sprinkle with t'e diiuted forma lin, using either a spraying machine or a watering-pot. Sprinkle so as to thoroughly and evenly wet tihe grain with the mixture. Then shovel the grain over thoroughly a few times to insure even distribution and cover the pile with canvas, carpet, blankets or bagging, to keep the fumes of the formalin within. The pile should stand from sit to twelve hours in this way. The oats may then be readily dried by mixing with air-slaked lime, and the lime may be removed by the faning-mill. The seed is then ready to sow. It may be stored, but in so doing it is liable to renewed smut in fection. The best Yvay is to treat. dry, then sow as soon as is practica ble. In general. one gallon of mixture will suffice to treat- one bushei of grain. The formalin should be used at the rate of one ounce to three gal lons f water. Formalin is an irritating caustic which should not be brought into contact with the skin in pure form. In diluted condition it is harmless. F. L.

Now lift up the foot of the suspcted hind leg and hold it as close to the horse's belly as possible for afew minutes. Suddenly drop it and immedigtely trot the horse, when he will, for the first few steps or even rods go intensely lame, but soon re cover. This is an unfailing test and should be practiced in- every case where there is the sIghtest suspicion of a spavin. B'onc and Meat For Eggs. There is no kind of fond that will answer for summer unless it be free from fat or starch. if the flock is confined, food must be provided. an~d then a proportion of grain must b~e allowed; but if the hens are on a range they should be given no food. There is one kind of food that will make hens lay, and tl'at is lean meat. And it may be allowed that those who use bone-cutters, and can secure fresh bone from the butchers, can provide the cheapest and best food that can be given. A pound a day for a dozen hens is ample. It costs but a small sum for a cutter. com pared with the savi .g of food, and though operating a bone-cutter de mans labor (as a bone -is not easily induced), the gain is more than the expenditure. We probably refer to this summer feeding very often, but t~he tendency is .to feed too much, and it is difficult to convince poultrymen of the fact. Meisat stands first of all egg-producing foods. tGud it is the cheapest in proportion to resuiltsi oi. 'Oned.-Po~ltry News. 'Bits of Brightness.

Christ had one consolation in His sorrows, the knowledge that endless good would come from them. Have we the spirit of Christ? In that measure we shall grieve over sin. Consider what most men grieve over, as poverty, neglect, pain; and Christ wasted no g ef on such mat ters. . llustrations. As ihe sufferings and death of Mc Kinley bound the, nations together with cords of sympathy, so, in an in flnitely greater zdegree, did Christ's sufferings and death. Christ transformed his fiery trials into His crown of glory. just as the nterior fire of the earth lie mde has transformed black carbon into the 'lashing diamond. We do not feel pain when another 's wounded, but when we ourselves Sare hurt. So we do not really under vtand Christ's sufferings till we be come part of His body, the Church. The nearest hint we have of Christ's sorrows' for us is a mother's agony over her erring child. Questions. Am I adding to Christ's sorrows? lave I received the cleansing o' Christ's atonement? Do I really love my Saviour? 1EPWORTH LEAUE LESSONS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11. Forgive One Another.-Matt. 6. 12. oa ly Readings. The extent of forgiveness Illus trated.-Matt. 18. 21-35.

Who can forgive sins is an old question. -"Perhaps the ods may," sai Plato to Socrates. I do not know,' answered the philos-, oper. Dr. Austin Phelps tells, us that when .John Eliot, "the apostle to the Indians," first preached to the N.pucks. at Nonantuma, the Christian Itheor:y of the forgiveness of imaur ies, a grunt of incredulous derision ran round the circle or his hearers as they sat before 1h'.m on their haunches. "The 'moral intuitionls' of Nipmuck culture knew better than that." All the wortti through all the ages has "known better than that,' if we are to judge by the almost universal prac tice of the world. It' required a revelation from heaven, and a living exanple of forgiveness under most awful circumstances, to place the theory of the duty of forgiveness of our 'enemic11 on even a debatable platform before the minds of men. And then it requires a revolution in hurn nature to make the theory a' real fact in the hearts anad lives of men and women. Dr. R. W. Dale says a pretty hard word in this: "Many Christian men have given a new 1inrn to an old text. In their own private 'R. V.' of the New Testament they read. 'Whosever speaketh a. word, or committieth a wrong. against God, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh a word, or comn mitteth a wrong, against Me, it shall not be forgiven h-m.' " The New Testament teaching is clear and positive, as our Daily Readings show, as to the duty of forgiveness of others; of holdinyg no grudges: of. seki'g no revenges. Chrdstians shall at behave like pagans. COUGH IN HOGS. Here is a question that is probably being worked over in the muinds of a great mnany who raise liogs. And we can say, with' general appl'cation of the statement, that when hogs cough they have worms. This being the case, it is necessa-y to look after a remedy for killing the worms, fox hogs will not thrive when wormy. One of the best remedies for worms is turpentine. It should be fed in slop to all hogs except sows that are. pregnant. A tablesy-con~ful to a bucket of 2iCp is a foir propbortionl and should be allowed to stand for mu hour er two before feeding it. A tihing that contributes much to the health of hogs is to keep plenty of ashes or cinders before them all the time. At this seasca of the year, the cobs from the corn which Is being fed on the ear may be burned and charred. In: charring them salt should be thrown on in sufiient amounts and it is also well to throw on some cop At this time there is a gre-at amount of disease abroad in the land, and the 4 man who is most successful in curing it Is the fellow who orevents it. Re garding the prevention of disease, there are no hard anad fast rules ex ept cleanliness of sleeping and feed quarters, care about the amounts and ime of feeding and keep the hogs free from lice, mange and worms. Dr. Wiley, the head sc~entist of the agricultural department, has discover ed that the same muscles are brontght nto play in washing clothes as in playing golf.
