7 ' AGRICULTURAL HINTS, REFORM MUST COME, Good Road, Considered la the UfU at ClvUlaer. Modern taste will not fro back to old, systems of country lirintr. The backwoods will do for adventure, or In which to fell the timber for farms, or till the virgin plains, but the country as a whole wants more of country air in the cities, and of city comforts in the country, and the good road is the clviiiier that will soonest make ' this interchange of blessings possible. When the country was new and the cities small, culture pioneered, charmed with the glory awaiting success. Cities like magie grew, and the farmer became the banker and remained the fanner still. He was a legislator and a farmer still; bnt the country dis trict has not kept pace with the city development, chiefly from the want of good roads, and the country can easily account for loss in population and in caliber as to culture, while the cities acquire the best the country affords. A good road means a fine breed of horses and money in the breeding of SAMPLE OF A COt'NTKT ROAD.

It means the lordly independence of the farmer because it promotes barter.

It means in the country parts a freer. more delightful interchange of social life. ---- It means happiness and joy where now reigns the dreary monotony that kills. Then the old-fashioned taverns may come back without the old-fashioned drinking, for they may be places of social interchange, where country statesmen, still in the green state. may put up their teams and enjoy the contest of talk and brighten their wits for higher triumphs. Dirt roads will solve the monopoly of the railroads. The farmers will cluster about busy centers, content with smaller farms. Busy centers, therefore, will increase. A back coun try that is handsomely accessible is the verv life of (he busy center, and its support.

Horatio Crane, in Good Roads. MOVING LARGE MAPLES. an Operation Coating Considerable Time, Care and Money. To a correspondent who asked how to move and prune large maple trees. six or seven inches in diameter, the editor of Garden and Forest replies: In removing trees the roots are gen erally injured to a greater or less ex tent, and those which are bruised must be cut away; it is good practice to prune in the branches to a corre sponding extent, so that there will be not more leaves than roots can supply. K or way maples of the size indicated cannot be removed without the loss of many roots, and pruning will be neces sary. Such pruning will be perfectly safe, these maples are not injured more than any other trees by this operation.,- A great deal of this prun ing can be effected by thinning out i the inner branches, but there should be no hesitation about cutting back limbs where this seems necessary, When the eodaef the branches are pruned -they should be cut hack to a limb, the wounds should be -covered with coal tar, and no stabs should be left to decay. In removing such large trees it is good practice to prone the roots back by digging a trench about the trees, say five feet from the trunk, and if this trench is filled with good soil new feeding roots will start out during the next year, so that the tree will be in excellent condition for re moving in a year from the coming winter. Large trees can be removed with success, bat it costs time and care and money. Persons who do not choose to go to the extra expense, however, can console themselves with the reflection that, as a rule, it is best to plant small trees, and that a tree ten or twelve feet high will probably be as large in ten years as one planted at the same time when it was twenty five feet high. .,,... From a Commercial View Point. We recognize this good road move ment as one having In view results of the utmost commercial significance, and our effort has been to do all that was possible in the way of practical assistance. E.

Msnv devices for the economicaland convenient handling of leea si uns about the stables have been frequ :nt ly described and illustrated, but the accompanying sketch may be of v ilue to many farmers, especially dairyjben " r . , j in who hare silos. The principle upon which these bins are constructed is such that their capacity can be en larged or diminished as desired. ' The illustration was ' recently sketched at the dairy barn of Mr. E. B. Jones. It strikes the writer as a most excellent idea to have the feed bins on either side of the openings out of the silo, with a box 2 feet deep. 8 feet 4 inches wide, and 8 feet by 10 inches long, into which the ensilage is thrown from the silo and the meal taken out of the bin standing at either side and mixed with the silsge. These bins measure 2 feet 4 inches in hori zontal depth from f ront.to silo, but can be made any length desired. The throat from the lower edge of the in ward slanting board should be about on a level with the hinges of the door an;! an 8-inch space allowed for heavy meals and 10 inches for bran. One of the chief advantages of these bins is that they are 24 feet deep and the feed iii raised to the top of the bam by a rope and emptied into them, thus saving a large amount of area on lower floor. The studding is made of Dx4-inch material and sided up with surfaced hemlock, which is cheap, rat and mouse proof, and having the edges bsveled so as to incline toward the insi le of the bin, is just as good as matched material. Such bins can be economically con1 Btructed on the inside of two-story barns, extended from the square to the ground on lower story, with doors opening at intervals ou the side, so that they can be easily filled with GB-LIX AXD FKKD BINS. pam.wmumsj and later, A.

George E. Scott, in Ohio Farmer. ABOUT OLEOMARGARINE. Science Shows That the Staff l Almost Inilltreetlhle. It is a favorite saying with the ad vocates of .oleomargarine that it is just as digestible and wholesome as butter. This is not true, and in the nature of things cannot be true. First as to its digestibility. Butter melts in the human stomach at 89.6 to 04.49 degrees and passes readily into pancreatic emulsion and digestion. As will be seen this is at a point below the nat ural heat of the human body. There is no gastric or nervous strain neces sary to expel it from the stomach, for it is a substance designed by nature for food in its own unchanged state, Oleomargarine melts at 105 to 10S.32 degrees. The heat of the human body is not sufficient to emulsify it and it remains a dead, inert substance, and causes severe nervous tension and a forced gastric action to expel it from tse stomach. This fact alone will show that it is not as digestible as butter. Besides it is not as whole some. Invariably butter advertises it". own condition. o man or woman need be deceived thereby. . Any ad' mixture of deleterious elements is told at once in a loss of flavor. It is com posed of what are known as the .basic fats, stearine, oleine, palmatine and a number of other delicate flavoring oils, all highly conducive to digestion. Oleo margarine is composed of stearine and palmatine mainly and in a condi tion unfit for digestion. It in rendered at a low temperature, not above 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and any man ought to know that this is not enough. to destroy any germs of disease or in fection which quite naturally might come to it, from its slaughter-house surroundings. We admonish people to cook their ham and pork most thoroughly to avoid the danger of trichina and other diseases. Such cooking subjects the meat from 212 to 850 degrees of heat; yet we are told that oleomargarine is wholesome com ing from the same derivation and ren dered at a temperature that little more than warms it Hoard's Dairy man. - Poor Boads Keep Farmers Poor. Under present arrangements grain cd be taken to the market only dur ing a small part of the year, the usual consequence of which is a crowding down of prices by the plethora of sup ply, so that the farmer realizes the lowest figures of the twelve months for most of what he has to sell, in stead of having the choice of times for , disposing ox Jua produce.

I tried every remedy suggested, and had regular physicians in constant at tendance on me. I was bundled up and sent to Hot Springs where I spent three months under the treatment of the most eminent specialists, all of which did me no good, and 1 came back from the springs in a worse condition than when I went. I came homo and laid flat on my back and suffered the most excruciating agonies, screaming in pain every time any body walked across the room, the only ease I obtained being from the constant use of opiates. After three months of this kind of agony, during which time my entire left leg perished away to the very bone, ray at tention was called to a new remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, by Mr. Allison who is now train dispatcher t Tezarkana, and who was relieved of loco motor ataxia of twenty years duration. At his urgent and repeated solicitation I con sented to give them a trial, after taking a few doses I begin to improve. I continued taking the pills ind kept right on improving until I was finally cured. If y leg is just the same size now as tiis other one, aad I am sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved life. The reporter next visited Dr. C- EL Stans bury, a graduate of one of the medical schools of Kentucky, and a man who en joys the confidence of everybody in Lour view. He said: "I know that Mr. Spaalding bad a terribly severe attack of sciatic rheu matism of which I tried to cure him ; used everything known to my profession in vain and finally recommended him to go to Hot Springs. He came back frcm the springs worse than when he went and I thought it was only a matter of time until his heart would be affected and be would die. I also know that his rare is the direct result of the use of Or. Williams' Pink Pills.'" "That is rather an unusual statement for a regular physician to make, doctor." "I know it is, but a fact is a fact, and there are hundreds of people right here in Longview who know what I say is the truth. I also know Mr. Allison ana know that he was relieved of a genuine and severe case of locomotor ataxia of twenty yeafi standing." A Teat of Character. An election is sometimes spoken of as a test of character. Certainly a man whocan run the gauntlet-and come out unscathed in reputation must have a straight record. The unfairness of the election test lied in the fact that it is the bad qualities of the candidates rather than both their bad and good qualities that are held up. Such kinds of tests are elevating neither to the public nor to the ordinary political life. The writer always liked the re ply of an old darky who was unfortu nately sentenced to imprisonment by the police justice for some petty of fense: "Well, Sambo," said one who attempted to console him, "adversity tries us and develops our better quali ties." " 'Twun't dat away at all wid me, 6ah," replied Sambo lugubrious ly. "It wasn't adwersity what tried me, sah, but a ole fool judge; and he deweloped all ob my bad qualities and none ob my good ones."

In thiscent- ury of enlight enment, we Have Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel lets, which cure all liver. stomach and bowel derange ments in the most effective way. Assist Nature a little now and then, with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing of fending matter from the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver aud quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions. Iioils, constipation, piles, fistulas and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels, they would have less fre quent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases. That, of all known agents to accom plish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequaled. is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels opeu and regular, not to fur ther const i pale, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and indigestion.
