jtylish and attractive in a country residence,
the accompanying design has been prepared.
It is a picture of a new house lately erected
In New Jersey. It is not a cheap house,
exactly, the cost being $5,'JtlJ.

It is conidtr'd a very handsome hou?a
A range, furnace, bath room, plumbing and

bouse has co uiecte I with it, however, in the
original plan the old-fashioned cesspool and
privy vuult, which is a little surprising in
these days of earth and sawdust closets
for country houses. That part of the plan
could be modilL-d and an earth closet con

Two Opinions.
Tbe opinion of a woman whose husband
has a good garden:
Does a garden par? What a fo lish ques
tion! Of course it pays. It pays better than
any other part of the farm. Why? Because
so much can be grown in it that the family
can make available at all seasons of the year.
It isn't a mere summer institution, this gar
den of ours. When summer ended wa bad
vegetab'es to use tbe same as we had during
tbe growing season, for we alway raised
enough to last until garden stuff grows
again. Think of tbe variety the garden gives
our bid of fare: Corn, cabbage, tomatoes,
lettuce, cucumbers, parsnips, squashes
onions, salsify, Lean, beets, turnips, rad
ishes why, if you were a woman with a
family to cook for, and you wanted some
thing to make a change with, you'd see
where tbe a 1 vantage of having a girden
cams in. Wi n these veget;bl.s to draw
frctu a woman can so vary the bill of fare
from diy to day that tbe mea folks won't be

How much money do you supposo I'd have
to rxrer.d on vegetables if we had to buv ell
we used? I'll venture to say that I wouldn't
get fY for that purpo e through the year,
unlets I kept it back from the butter money.
Men folks don't lik-3 to buy garden stuff, but
they do like to eat it. Thank goodness, my
husband bas cense enough to sea the advan

Ikes to work in one, but he sees that it pays,
and he is not regarding the pleisure of his
appetite alone, but considering the financial
ect cf the case, when he raises vegetables.
He knows that what we eat from the garden
c sts less than tbe other things we would
have to buy if we had no garden.
The opinion of the man who doesn't have
ararden:
Do I have a garden! Not muth! Catch
me puttering 'round in one. I'd rather go
down to the corner and sit 'round the grocery
store or saloon all day long than make a
garden bed. It's all foolishness. You sow
the seed, and half won't come up, and what
riows gets smothered by weeds. Why don't
I pu'l 'em upf I don't have Xf I can work
on the farm, but I won't work in the garden.
Why t Because it don't pay to didn't I tell
you that b fore? But wouldn't it pay if I
worked ft the same as I do a field ? I don't
know. I don't enra to know. But don't I
like vegetables? Of course I da Do we buv
nnv? Well, no, not to speak of. We can't
afford to. Don't I get tired of pork and pota
toes and bread the year round? Well, yes, I
do; and it does seem as if my wife might
give us a change sometimes, but she don't;
If she did we'd "spring out" with a better
appetite, and not have to take "bitters'' and
such stuff. She always hnrrra about a gar

Sorting Sheep at Shearing Time.
. It is a very pwr fanner who does not
know a good sheen when he sees it; but he
mny be a tolerably gord farmer and not
know a poor sh"op w hen he s"os it. That is
to say, ho hat?? to throw i-, out Thero is
nothing on a farm which is so poor a piece
of i roporty as a poor sheep. A light weight
steer may mnko as good beef as a heavy
weicht, or better, nnd it may be nearly or
quite as profltablo an animal. But a light
flerc d shyep gennral'y eats as much as a
heavy fWeed on", nnd often more, b cause
it is Icrey and re'-tless.
When freshly shorn the sheep stands re
vealed in its true form, nnd tho fleecj is suh
ject to test separate from tbe body. Merely
to weigh a (Wee is rather a raw and crud s
test of its quality; still it is necessary to ad
mit that the weight tho foremost consid
eration with most flock masters. My own
method was to have a pair of grocer's scales.
on ons side of which was fastened a very
light slat framswork, largo enough to re
ceive tbe fWce, and this was balanced by
bits of iron, nnd tbe scale set so asi to re
quire a six-pound fl'?ece to turn it. When
ever a shearer flnUhod a slwp I took it
while he carried and laid tho neeoe
on the scales, nnd upon th:s test,
together with my own observations
upon the animal's form, 1 affixed a mark
with red lead to designate tho sheen's
future. A wether was marked with the let
ter P on the left shoulder, the top of tho let
ter reaching the snino, to prevent the sheep
from rubbing it off ngainst hU fellows. A
ewe received the sme letter on its left hip.
A sheep of either sex dost'ned to be reject d
from the flock was marked with a cipher, 0,
on the right hip. My full bloods had Dana's
labels in tbe ears, but if thesa are not used a
number mny In marked with paint midway
of the spine. Tar should never be used; it
makes a hard lump whie'i has to bo cut off
by hand before thj fleece can be manu
factured. To keep the shearers from waiting, If
ahead of the marker, a ropa wns hung doivn
from tho ceiling with a leather strap at

sheep just back of the forelegs.
Tha marking apparatus ouzht to be al
ways on hand in lambing time, to bo used
on a owe not fit to be t red again. Any
mark put on then, of coursi, will have to
be renewed at shearing.
If I were handling shoep to-day I should
put the mark whenever practirabe fti the
r'ght side of tho sheep instead of tho left, r s
was my former custom. A right-handed
man naHirally wishes the sheep to eirelo
around him from left to rijht, for . con

Next to Hue. schools and churches, ol
paramount Importance to a community
comes good roads In fact the two foruitr
depend ou the latter, In a measure, for their
very existence. We unfortunately live In
a section where the public highways are
execrable; quite likely they are as bad in
other portions of the country, though hard
ly worse than here In Southern Maryland.
Their management Is about equally faulty,
a complaint pretty general against all who
have the welfare of the roads under their
supervision, liow easy we all kuow to
point 6ut a grievance or fault, but how very
difficult to name or apply a remedy! The
general public must bear the chief
blame, and their apathy an disinterestedness
Is hard to account for. In the first place we
have not adequate laws, either general o
local, to accomplish tbe ideal highway ; and
the few we have, ordinary .civilians are
unacquainted with, aud those in authority
act as if they needed an Introduction.
A fine road is self-evldently necessary
even to the most obtuse person, for wild as
well as cultivated land ; but the combined
qualifications of shade aud good, cheap
roads, In these all clay or all sand sections,
is the problem demanding our serious at
tention. Much cannot be made by a small
expenditure, neither can those living on
farms of like soil be sutlicieutly taxed to
accomplish this desired end; but one thing
they (the adjoining land owners) can do to
help the gord cause; that is to give to the
roads enough of this poor land for roadbed.
and shade, say 40 feet (which will be ample
for all country roads iu this section), 21 lor
the road bed and 10 for ditches (when nec
essary) and shade trees. Twenty-four feet
gives rootu to travel in new mts as soon as
any one becomes worn too deeply ; this, wltii
the present disbursements and the mending
they now get, will give the inoyt satisfnet
Ion to the general public In this sandy sec
ond district of Anne Aruuciel County.
One great trouble with our roads is that
there is often but one track, aud not smIHc-
lent room for another (iu some places it has
the lawful width between fences, and bush
es and briers have encroached upon the
track until the wheels of the wagon drag
against the bushes ou the shies while aguiu
we may lind the fences only 20 feet apart,
or else some embankment has been cut
through with only sullicient room for one
track,) and all teams are therefore compell
ed to use the single track, whose ruts be
come deep and icregular from the constant
travel, where, if tlw roads were properly
widened all public highways should be
kept the lawful width and higher in the
centre, vehicles would avoid the deep ruts
long enough for them to fill up naturally.
Our land makes poor road beds from the
nature of the soil. Where sand predomin
ates, It is almost as bud as all clay, though
the former is always passable, while the
latter, during a protracted wet spell; cannot
be used ; neither can it be made into good
road beds without great labor and expense,
and in pocr sections land averaging three
barrels of corn to the acre It Is an i in possi
bility, without outside help, to do much to
ward a perfect road. The shape of a per
fect road bed, which has been often stated,
should be a convex surface (between para
llel lines,) like the segment of a large cir
cle. These coarse, sandy roads, as we have
them In the lower half ol this second dist
rict, are tine enough In winter or when wet,
but becomes wretched In mid summer, or
when very. dry. As this sand Is so easily
displaced, allowing the wheels to sink, it
causes a team to draw at least three times
as hard; that Is, where on a solid, smooth
road bed, a horse could pull a ton, iiera 700
or 800 lbs. would lie a big load, and besides,
the grinding action of the hot, diy road
upon tires and rims sooin ruin the best
wheels. In very warm weather the steel
or iron ties expand (as we all know) more
than the wooden fellies, causing an ititerst
Ice and this Is speedily filled with sand,
which soon increases the breach, liually
compelling the cutting of the ties to save
the wheel. The moie shade, the longer
this sand remains damp, and moisture
counteracts the expansion of tires by swell
ing the rims and lessening the heat; than
aliundent shade is the best for these roads.
Where they are all clay, or clay in excess,
then during a wet spell they become like
putty, the wheels sinking to the hub, and
are then the worst roads jxissible, though
tliey never wea.' and injute the rims and
tires as the former, and ttiey become excell
ent In mid-summer, or when dry. Shade.,
therefore, for this latter soil is slightly in
jurious, but with proper distances between
the trees, or grouping and keeping them
well trimmed, this cun be mitigated, ami
with sufficiently wide road tied, entirely
counteracted. "e do not want bushes and
briers for shade, but large trees with trunks
without limbs for'JO feet t more (and il
we p rmit these to be entwined now nnd
then by our Virginia creeper, bitter sweet,
and native clematis, that are so very abund
ant along our roads, so much nmre pleasing
will the sight be,) so that the air can freely
circulate over the road bed.
The limits of the public highway, w llh
few exceptions, are undefined, and unless
interested parties agree to allow the centre
of the present road to be the true one, as a
base to ascertain 'lie correct boundary, it will
cause considerable trouble nnd expense to
locate the lawful meter satisfactorily.
Many buyers of land on the public mtu's,
when they come to remove or repair their
fences on said roads, will encroach upon
the 80 feet allowed by law Instead of gi-lng
out, thereby gaining a little land to the
great detriment of the traveling public.
Supervisors should lie Instructed to demand
the removal of all fences that infringe em
the said road's lawful :?0 feet. Nowhere
comes a grave difficulty, for, as I said above,
the boundaries are undefined ; so who can
tell when a land owner does encoach, unless
twenty years, peaceful use by the public
makes the present track lawful. With the
present 30 feet allowed by law, it is difficult
to save the shade trees, but the judicious
supervisor (duly adrised with written in
struction, not oral) can save many of our
fine native trees still left on some of the
roads say 20 feet for road bed (which Is
not sullicient for a good double track.) two
feet on each side of roadbed for ditches,
when necessary, making 21 feet. We have
left 6 feet for shade 'rees, a feet on each
side, which Is barely enough for their
trunks. The roads should not be less than
40 feet, as mentioned above, or even 50.
Trees should bo trimmed to make climb
ing llflicult, and so that the lower branches
will be well out of the way of hay w agons,
and It would be well for them even to inter
hx k acrojss the road, If possit le.to preclude
the sun's rays, here almost vertical. Cwinl

It I'net Pay to Drain.
The prices that farm produce U bringing
at present will hardly bring the farmer
through, if he lives well and keeps his
buildings and tools in exd shape. He
must work hard and hire good men to do
even this. The only chance I see for far
mers at present In Michigan is to look farth
er ahead In some respects than they have
been doing. One farmer says. I Lave 10 or
20 acres of laml on which "I have to pay
heavy taxes. If I could afford to ditch it,
I could get something out of it. Another
says, if my farm were as good as jours, I
could get rich In a few years; but 1 have 10
or VI acres oi -waste laud iu my 40. Still
another says, I make s me mouev out ot mv
good laud, but 1 get 0 per cent, interest for
what 1 nave to spare, so I can t allord to do
anything with my waste land. Here Is
where most or our Michigan farmers are
getting poor. I have had some experience
and am satisfied that there is not one acre
of land in the lower peninsula of Michigan
which, If properly drained, will not bring
a profit of at least 8 per cent. Farmers who
put their money in savings banks when
they have a little waste land (as tney call It)
on their farm are throwing away 3 or 3 per
cent.
Some farmers say, I cannot afford to buy
tile; 1 cannot afford to hire a man to dig
the ditch thinking, of course, that no one
but a profession! can dig a ditch. They
should look the land over and find the nat
ural course for the water to run : then take
a team and plow once up or down ; then set
the wheel up and go again in the same fur.

ltoails and ICoad Making,
Macadamized roads need uo foundation.
The big stones are removed from the road
aud are broken w ith the rest into angular
pieces from tine-half inch to two aud a half
iuches in diameter and not over six ounces
iu weight from one to two ouuees in
weight are preferred. The road Is then
smoothed down und leveled, with the cen
ter a few iuches higher than the sides; then
the broken stone is spread on the road bed
very carefully. As this is ol great inn ort
ance to the future quality of the road, the
stone is not to be dumped on the road,
though it may be left In heaps along the
side to be handy for future use, but it is to
be scattered by shovelful after shovelful
until a derth of six to ten inches is uni
formly deposited over the width of the road.
The depth of stone required depends ou
the quality of material used, soft stone re
quiring the greater and hard the lesser.
The middle of the road should be six
inches higher than the sides, for a thirty
foot road bed, or, in "general, one inch for
five feet of width. lMtches must be made
'on each side of the road, a few inches deep
er than the lowest part of the road bed, pre
ferable outside of the fences. Let me say
right here that the lack oi ditches is the
principal cause of muddy roads, no matter
w hat the composition of the road bed.
To macadamize a common country road
costs less labor or money than to keep most
roads in repair two years, yet it Is set aside
as 'impossible on account of the cost, you
know." We should like to tell the readers
