Working Roads by Taxation.
It is said that the condition of public
roads in any country indicate the state
of its civilization. If this is the criterion
by which we are able to judge our coun
try, says A. II. Mallory, in the Madi
sonian, we would conclude that its civiliza
tion is at a very low ebb indeed. How
this state of things is to be remedied is
rather a mooted problem to determine.
Of course every one has his opinions as
to the best method to adopt to have the
roads worked satisfactorily. Somo are of
the opinion that the present road laws
are adequate to every purpose for having
good roads; but be this as it may, the
truth still remains that the public roads
in this country, as a general thing, are in
a very poor condition. We do not doubt
that if the present laws were rigidly en
forced that the roads could and would be
worked better than they now are; but
such is not the case. Neighbor has to
deal with neighbor in this matter, and
consequently he does not feel disposed to
press the law in cases where it is not fully
carried out, and, as a matter of course,
the roads, in most instances, are not at
tended to as they should be. And now
would it not bo better for all parties con
cerned to work the public roads by taxa
tion ? Would not the dissensions and
hard feelings engendered a great many
times be obviated by adopting this sys
tem ? Wo think so. It is true that the
tax for such a purpose would fall heavily
for a year or two on each hand subject
to road duty ; but after the road-bed was
properly made, the cost of keeping it so
would be but a mere trifle comparatively.
Even admitting that the tax for two
years was two or three dollars per capita,
it is reasonable to suppose that after that
timo, if the road had been properly
worked, it would not be more than
twenty five or fifty cents a hand per year.
The writer knows of a portion of public
road that was worked as roads should be,
about ten or fifteen years ago, and but
little work has been done on it since that
time, although that road is now in fine
condition.
Somo ono may object to this plan of
taxation on the grounds that very lew
freedmen would be able to pay their
taxes. In such cases as these, let such
defaulter be compelled to work the public
roads at so much per day until his tax
was liquidated in that way. If such a
law was passed, very few hands, if any,
would fail to raise the requisite amount
for their taxes, even though they had to
manage in various ways to obtain it.
If the proper kinds of implements were
used, such as are manufactured for work
ing roads, a great deal of work could bo
accomplished with but litttle manual
labor. Very few hands, comparatively,
would be required for this purpose, and,
as we before stated, when the road-bed
had onco been established, it would be an
easy matter to keep it so. We would be
glad to see this subject agitated thor
oughly, and some plan formulated by
by which the public roads could and
would bo worked better, and with less
bother and trouble to all parties con
cerned ; for evidently the present system
is very unsatisfactory as it now stands to
say the least of it. Wo would be glad
also to bear from the brethren on this
subject, for it concerns every farmer who
has road duty to perform.
Enforced Temperance.
Tho Nation says : "The agency of the
railroad companies in promoting temper
ance is not generally appreciated. They
employ 689,912 persons, not counting
those who mine the coal and iron, make
the rails or locomotives, or build the cars
and carriages used by the road. The
freight and passenger traffic of the coun
try is practically controlled by 600 of
these corporations, and of these 600 no
fewer than 375 prohibit the use of intoxi
cating liquors by their employes, among
the number being most of the largest
companies. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers uses its influence in the
same direction. 'Whenever a member of
the order is known to be dissipated,' says
Mr. Arthur, long the head of the organiza
tion, 'wo not only expel or suspend him,
but notiiy his employers,' and during the
last year 375 members were expelled for
this cause. This is only one illustration
of tho way in which practical business
considerations are operating to promote
the spread of temperance. It is purely a
matter of business with the railroad com
panies. They simply cannot afford to
employ a man who is liable any day to
get drunk and precipitate somo terrible
disaster. 1 ho average man thus comes
to seo that it is 'money in his pocket,' in
moro senses than one, if he keeps out of
the saloon ; and the moral is not lost upon
him."
3T What is believed to be the largest
wheel in the world was made recently
at the works of the Dickson Manufactur
ing Company, in Scranton, Pa., for tho
Calumet and Ilecla Mining Companies
of Michigan. It is a cog whoel 54 feet in
diameter, witb un le men lace, and is
built in the exact form of a bicycle, with
its extensions and spokes. The capacity
of tho wheel, at a velocity of 10 feet a
second at the inner odgo of the buckets
is 30,000,000 gallons of water and 2,000
tons of sand in 24 hours. Its weight is
400,000 pounds. The journals are 23
inches in diameter and 3 feet 4 inches
loner. The total length of the shaft is 23
feet C inches. Philadelphia Press.
tSfDovER, N. H., is one of the few
towns in New England, or, indeed, in the
country, that operates its electric street
railway system without the aid of a
steam engine. Iho balmon falls Kiver,
which flows near the town, turns a 500
horse power water wheel, which supplies
power for tho dynamos that operate the
street line, tho electric lights in the place,
and electricity for several neighboring
towns as well. There seems to be no
difficulty in obtaining a sufficicient
amount of power at all seasons of the
year.
The only proper way to keep a
gun barrel in good order is to wash it out
with boiling hot water, dry with linen
swabs and oil with vaseline or cylinder
oil, every time that it is used. It should
never bo laid aside unattended to for a
day or two after firing.

Oar Honey Product.
Some one who has been investigating
the matter concludes that few are aware
of the extent of the honey interest of this
country. He says that it is only in cer
tain localities tbat it makes mucn oi a
figure ; but a few colonies of bees kept
here and there, scattered an over tne
United States, when they are summed
up, make a somewhat astonishing aggre
gate The last census set down the an
nual product of 1870 as 25,743,208 pounds
of honey, and 1,105,689 pounds of wax.
Since then great strides have been made
in the knowledge and management of
bees, and we should not be surprised if
the annual output were do.UUU.UUUor even
40,000,000 pounds a year, to say nothing
of the bogus honey that is palmed off
upon a more or less unsuspecting com
munity, cut tne ngures Known to do
reached almost equal our rice and hay
crops, tail out mue snort oi our duck-
wheat crop, exceed our, crop oi cane
molasses, and surpass in amount both our
maple sugar and maple syrup products.
W ho shall say the ousy Dee is not an
object of interest and of commercial
value r JSx.
Guinea Fowls on the Farm
There is no sale for Guinea fowls
in market, but the Guinea is, neverthe
less, one of the finest of all table-birds,
possessing a certain game flavor that is
not found in other fowls. They have
full-meated breasts, and possess but a
small proportion of offal compared with
hens. It their real value tor the table
were known they would sell at high
prices, un the farm they cost almost
nothing, being industrious foragers, and
there never was a better insect external
nator than the Guinea. Outside of the
eggs, which they provide without cost,
they destroy thousands of insects, and,
though their efforts in that direction may
not be apparent, yet the work goes on
with them constantly. They are never
idle, being busily engaged from early
morn until night. Mirror and Farmer.
Tempering: Tools.
The following is said to be the Swiss
method of hardening cast steel for cutting
tools. Mix in a suitable vessel four parts
of pulverized resin and two parts of train
oil. Stir well in this one part hot tallow.
Into this mixture the article to be hard
ened is plunged at a low red heat and
held there until thoroughly cooled. With
out cleaning off, the piece is again put
into the fir' and suitably tempered in the
ordinary way. An examination of steel
thus hardened indicates that the harden
ing is deeper and more uniformly distrib
uted than is commonly the case, and that
the steel is less brittle. Articles thus
hardened have excellent and durable cut
ting qualities. Stone.
Boiling Down a Poem.
Newspaper traditions in New York
contain many quaint instances of the art
of boiling down copy. It is a common
saying that a newspaper receives twice
as much matter as it prints. A large
sacrifice to the blue pencil or rejected
copy spindle is inevitable. The cham
pion boiler of news in the New York
offices in the days that veterans in the
business still remember was Dr. Wood,
who exercised his art in the Sun office
for many years, and the most artistic
feat of condensation remembered of him
is worth recording. One night a half
column poem was turned over to him to
edit. Copy was copy to his practical
eye, and he set out to get at tho meat of I
me verses ana suite u in ine iewesi pos
sible words. This was the result :
"Do you love me ? No.
Then I go."

sorbed by suitable animal substances,
such as horn shavings, dried albumen,

able to add the material to the tea in the
dry condition before the infusion is made.
But it may also be added to the infusion,
or the infusion may be passed or filtered
through a layer of the substance. The
quantity of animal substance to be added
to the tannin-containing material must

have been relieved by a few doses of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. This remedy, with ordi
nary care, has worked such a
Magical Effect
that I have suffered very little inconven
ience. I have also used it in my family, with
excellent results, In coughs, colds, &c."
Wm. H. Quartly, Minlaton, Australia.
" In the spring of 1853, at Portsmouth, Va.,
I was prostrated by a severe attack of ty
phoid pneumonia. My physicians exhausted
their remedies, and for one year I was not
able to even articulate a word. By the ad
vice of Dr. Shaw I tried Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral, and to my surprise and great Joy, In
less than one month I could converse easily,
In a natural tone of voice. I continued to
Improve and have become since a well man.
I have often recommended the Pectoral, and
have never known it to fail." George K.
