From the fact tbnt onion land is always most carefully attended to nud gets much manure and tillage It is generally In better condition for on- | Ion* than land used for almost any other crop. However, it to a good plan to occasionally change the laud for on- 1 Ions, Sim's on new laud there Is far less danger from disease, and Insect enemies than on old land. As a money crop for careful growers onions are in many sections very reliable.—Green. ; A* H ■«■* I 1’H I i 1 I I I ■ W+t •!

The hygienic value uf roads painted with far is thoroughly appreciated in liirmii chain, England. The road Is first thoroughly, cleaned by dry sweep ing. then roughly distilled tar is poured over It and spread evenly, after which sand is thrown on. ami the road is im mediately ready for traflie. A fort-' night or three weeks later a second coating is applied, and in a short time tW* road has the appearance of an as phalt street. It appears, also, that a short stretch of road in Beckenham was treated with tar oil, which to pour ed over again and again until the pores of the road exude the preparation. This, however, dries up quickly, doe* not make an oily and nasty mess In wet weather and i* said to be much cheaper than the tar process, but It re quire* more frequent renewal. A com paratively small quantity of the mate rial is available, and this is a difficulty In the way of Its general adonllon. . Sore Nippies.

Our steamboat Hues in the in terior are superior to those of any other nation, our coastwise lines are equal to any and our international lines art going to be all right But our common, everyday wagon roads, “by gum!’’ they are by all odds the poorest on the face on this green earth. No othor civilised nation on the globe but has better wagon roads than we have. It would bankrupt a commonly blessed nation to haul the products of field and factory over such abominable roads.— Horatio E.

Just stop for a moment and canaider how awkward it would be if there were no paper here, no way for a citizen to express hi* views on matters of concern except by word of month; no way to learn of the local happenings over the county except through gossip; no means of publishing reports of public officials, notices of tax sales; lists of jurors, time for holding court, election notice election returns, ect, except by tack ing them on the court house door; no way for merchants to advertise their- wares, no cheap and easy way to ad vertise the innumerable wants of which a newspaper is now filled; no champion going each week into every newspaper office in the State as a representative of the interest of the county. A newspaper does much for a community for which it makes no charge, and therefore of which little notice is taken. But all in all it -pays a large part in the developement of a community.—Ex.
