My view 1h that If pulled in August

Hut If pulled in the spring or perhaps

will sprout and come up thicker than

tit.v of mitlment for mere existence. To
supply this inuoil alone only enables
it to continue life, but does not appease
the appetite which craves still
more food. If provender beyond maintenance
requirements is supplied the
steer converts some of the surplus into
fat and stores it away among the
muscular tissues of the body, in the
bones as marrow, tinder the hide and
about the viscera, says Field and Kami.
This fsit is fuel in the animal economy
for which liuture shows an eagerness
by manufacturing and laying up a
certain amount against the time of
need. When tirst put on full feed
the steer gahiK rapidly in fat. gratifying ;
the feeder as (be Increase is reported
by the scales. After a few months,
however, the appetite loses its keen
edge, and the steer shows a daintiness
not exhibited at first when taking food.

cess may ho likened to inflating a I

finally reaches the point where ii shows
no gain whatever, although consuming
considerable feed. It has been !
fattened to the limit, and retrogression \

recognizing these conditions, aims to
feed cattle rapidly and as soon as they i
are in acceptable condition disposes
of them without delay.

is the draft-bred horse. He is the only
horse than can he raised hy tho fanner
with little tronhle and expense. lie
is in reach of tilmost every fanner in

UK leaven of road improve^
V merit seems to be working >
O n o In nil pin ts of the 1'nited
p States. An Kastern man
vJOW who lias recently talun a
trip through Texas says the eulhusiasm
with which the people havfi taken
up the "good roads idea" is wonderful.
In some counties they are in danger
of "going wild" on the subject. Funds
are being raised mainly by issue of
county bonds.
In Pennsylvania, the State aid idea
lias taken linn hold. The plan Just
adopted ik for (Ik* State, the county,
and the township to co-operate in the
work of building and improving the
roads. The State is to pay two-thirds
of the expense, and the county and
township in which the work is done
each one-sixth oT the expense. The
State has made available for this purpose
$0,,*00,00'i to he expended during
the next few years.
The principle involved in the State
aid plan is exactly the same as that
involved in the scheme for national
aid which lias developed sueli popularity
recently. The fundamental
idea of both is thai road improvement
is not merely a matter of local interest
and responsibility, hut ? matter of
interest and concern to the whoie people:
or. to put it another way. road
liniidina is coinin:? to !>< vi?w?ii ne >
species ?,f "internal improvement" belonging
in the same class as river and
harbor improvements.
Another reason \vli\ National ami
Stale aid are becoming so popniar is
the realization that, unless something
of tin- kind is adopted, tile burden of
bad roads, like the poor, will In?always
with us. Th" holtoniless roads of the
eountry constitute a sort of "Slouch of
Despond" in which tlie* people are
destined to flounder until some one
omes along lo help them out. In fact
the expense for improving the roads in
many localities is a burden which the
local population is wholly unable to
bear. It is believed that whenever
the State or the nation reaches out a
helping hand to such communities,
they will grasp it and bend all their
energies to the grout work of improving
their highways, but they will never
undertake the job without help from
the outside.
The frequent rains have made the
roads almost impassable in a majority
of tlie* local communities throughout
the Knstern liali' of tlie United States.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why
the good roads idea is uppermost in
so many minds.
Ideal Knrtli ltoa<ll>e<l.
How may we. in a cheap and efficient
manner, construct and maintain an
earth roadhed? The plan isvsimplo; too
simple for ready acceptance, yet as
efficient as it is simple.
A simple -,lriK? is cll'nwn along one
side of the roadbed at the proper time
to smooth ofi' the surface, tilling the
ruts and pushing the earth slightly toward
the eentre of the road and pressing
it into all crevices. This Is done
after each wet spell, just as the surface
is beginning to dry. This produces
a smooth surface, the ruts aul
trucks arc obliterated. The vehicles
that enter upon the voad go promiscuously
over it. and compact the surface
as completely as if it were rolled by a
heavy roller. In fact, a wagon with
l'^-ineh tires, giving six in lies of impact
upon the surface, and with a to;al
weight of only 1250 pounds produces
as great pressure upon the surface
touched as a ten-ton roller. An ordinary
two-horse wagon load would produce
n nPi'ss'ill'O pmili'dlmil Irv .i ( i<-.
ton roller. The only question is. therefore,
how much of the surface will Ikthus
reached and rolled. Kxperloni-e
shown that in a roadbed kepi pirn ??th
for n considerable period, say six
months, every part of it K<>t? iis iiuoia
of rolling. Then, ami in. tii<> smooth
roadbed thus eompactcd sheds ih"
.water that falls upon it almost a>ensily
as a shingle roof. Hence tin
chance for saturation is reduced i<> r.

/'niwlil'iAit ic ilucti'iivn.l l.? t'f/.w'f
But it should be remembered thai ihe
expansive force of frost is in direct
ratio to the water content. A saturation
of less than !."? per cent, would not
when frozen exert expansive ?'.>ree
enough to lessen materially the
cohesive force or widen the interstices.

I ne boy swung on ana waiKea away

The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,

remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are esj?ecially
enthusiastic in their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is |
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh of its victims.
