It. may be best in some eases and unwise in others. Vnder one contractor some portions of the road will necest tin while reiKiirinu ' others, while with several men each frivou a short section, the work could he done whenever needed. If a road machine is used, it would he best to en era so someone with suitable teams to use it throughout the entire town wherever necessary, as to do good work requires practice for both team and men. and shifting it from one small contractor to another would result in failure, even if such contractor could provide tenuis lor its use. I would have each contractor pay for this machine work at a fair rate per day. and let such expense be considered in making his contract If he preferred to use it hut little, or even not at all, it would uot matter so long as his section of road was left in a satisfactory condition. The material usually used In repairing country roads is road wash or turf that lias growu upon it. and is in 110 sense suitable. The worn pebbles have no power of coherency. They will not bind, and the organic matter of uirf is productive only of mud and dust. There is no road so pleasant lo ride upon as a well-made, well-drained, well-graded dirt road. Once settled into place ii will last in good condition for years if frequently looked after. On heavy soils it will, of course, be muddy when the frost is coining out, but that is only for a . short period, and the pleasure of rid- | ing cn it free from noise and dust at other seasons compensates for a good deal of springtime annoyance. It is not practicable to harden all country roads, and If the road is welldrained and the gutters and sluices ke.pt open It is not desirable. A clattering stone road takes away much of the charm of u country drjve, to say nothing of the aunoyancl^ to dwellers thereon. Sometimes, if gravel is readily available, it is economy to surface a damp dirt road with a four-inch coat. This will keep nil lfg-jit TTf^rr out of the mud?fcrtTTn springtime. asdJMftPKTmmvy teams pass over it will last for years. Wet places that cannot be successfully drained, should be tilled with a Telford*pavement and from six to eight inches of gravel placed over it. All gutters and sluices should be large enough to take the rainfall at I its greatest excess, and the failure to | have tiunn no is a frequent source or damage and consequent expense. To summarize: Tut your roads into the best condition possible with the means available, and thou give them constant attention rather than to neglect ihont for eleven mouths and repair them in one. It will pay in the long run.?<\ !\ Augur, of Connecticut, in the American Agriculturist. Improves farm Property. The testimony as to the effect of good roads on the value of Illinois farm property is unanimous and overwhelming. and shows conclusively that every dollar expended upon the construction of hard roads adds at least ."? "> to the cash value of the farm, and wiil increase 1 lie cash income from the farms more than twice the annual road tax. Or, in other words, good roads will pay eight to ten per cent, a month on whatever amount they increase taxation. ' He who will point, the way whereby the current of young life may be changed to flow front ilie city to the country; that will scatter the flat dwellers over (iod's green prairies, will deserve a monument. So far as we can see the forces to do this are good reads, free rural mail delivery, the farm telephone and rapid transit. [ These are mighty forces and will revolutionize our social conditions. Uood stone or gravel roads are a permanent asset to the State, county. iowrvi!i*> ana larm. it properiy eon- i stnieted and looked after they are I good for several generations, and the { cost should be spread over at least twenty years, and thus let those who come after us. and who will partake of the benefits, help bear the burden.

And that every effort within their power i should lie exerted to make the farm home and its surroundings sufficiently attraetive to those progressive young Amcrieans that the son will be willing to be his father's successor upon the ; farm. <'?>?' of No\r .ler-cy lionets In 1000.

Only One Opinion on Stone Komi*. Henry I. P?ndd, State Commissioner of Uoads. X'.' Jersey, says, under (laic of July 1. UUK.1: "There is but one opinion as io stone roads: Every county that gets one road wants many more; the farmers, who at first so strongly opposed thorn, are now so ardent that we could spend millions of dollars each year building roads.'' WHEN A PARISIAN BATHES. The Difilt-ultir* He Encounter* in Taking i a Hot Dip. When a Parisian takes a bath, all Paris knows it?that is. when he takes a hot bath. The Parisian has a hard 1 time keeping clean. That lie succeeds so well is very much to his credit. He labors under the disadvantage of having no adequate supply of water. There is plenty of water in Paris, to be sure, and an enormous quantity of it is used on the streets. All day long men with lint's of Lose which are made in : metallic sections with flexible joints,! i each section mounted on wheels, go up and down the principal streets and boulevards distributing water with si free hand. The difficulty is not to pet water on the street level, but to pet it above that level, and after that the preat difficulty is to pet it hot. All but the very newe. . of modern houses in Paris have water only on the street level. This water is carried to the upper floors of hottsei in buckets as needed. This is true not alone of private houses, but of hotels of the older type. These abound In Paris, and the comforts they offer to the traveler are almost confined to the table. Moreover, though water may be drawn in any quantity on the ground floor, there are no facilites for heating water. A hotel keeper may put a kettle on the range and send up a quart of hot water to your room, but when It comes to filling a Jmte be would admitthakJAr-wffTljeyond the oajy^^i^-oTTds establishment. Many "Parisians use the big bathhouses along the Seine. In places these houses occupy a greater part of the river, but if a Parisiau wants a hot bath lie must turn to that time honored French institution, the perambulating bathtub. To the American who sees this institution for the first time traversing tl>? nrinr>iii<it tif 11 irreiir oitV it is very mirth provoking. And lit? will sop it in almost any part of Hip pity if lip stays there long euough and moves ahoiii the streets, for thp bathman's honsps are distributed till over Paris. From tho bathing establishment the bathraan goes forth in harnpss. This is nothing unusual in Paris, where well dressed men are seen drawiug small wagons of all kinds. The bathman has two straps over his shoulders and he stands between the shafts of a two-wheeled cart. On this cart is mounted a tank. <>n the tank structure is balanced a substantial bathtub which is provided with casters. In front of the tank are two large metal buckets and a yoke. The lmthman draws ilii> apparatus through the streets to your house. When you want a hot tub. you order one for a partieuiar hour of a particular day. The bathmau eornes around with his apparatus at the hour named, lie stops in front of your house, and. lifting the tub from the top of the tank, he put it over his head like a hood and carries it up stairs to your room. Then he returns to the street and draws off the hot water from the tank into the buckets. These he hangs at eaeli end of the yoke which he carries across It is shoulders, and in this fashion he conveys the water to the tub. When the tub is full, he retires and waits for a reasonable time for you. Then he comes upstairs and empties the tub 'iy means o. li:> ;u:<i i .inu-n ihe tub and buckets away. His passage through the streets is an everyday sight to the Parisian and arouses no comment, but to the stranger it is a subject oi' great amusement. Some of the Abuse* of Iteaftlu^.
