It Haa Awakened the Spirit of Improve ment In Many Districts. In our anxiety to promote good farm ing' there is no danger that the subject of good roads will be overlooked. When a man gete the spirit in him to improve his farm, his crops and his live stock, thespiritof progress cannot be checked there, but necessarily it must be ex tended to his buildings and fences. Who ever know a farmer to erect a substantial fence along the highway .vim would not also cut down the un- t,M,fiw hushes aloner tne margin, seel where drainage is needed and how the roadway could be improved, and then resolve that it shall be done a the first opportunity? A good farmer is always a good-roads advocate. Just now many things are conspiring to assure good roads in the near future. A few years ago the road-scraper on wheels came into vogue. A law was enacted to permit a few adjoining road districts to unite and purchase a scraper to be used in common, as it is an expensive piece of machinery, and rarely a single district could afford to purchase one alone. Now these ma chines are common all over the state, and through their means road improve ment has made rapid strides. It is not necessary to descrioe all their good DRIVE NEAR MARIETTA. O. points, for every one knows them. 1 will mention only one, and that is the smooth, hard paths it makes for pedes trians at either side of the- wagon track. Otherwise they would have to travel in the grass and weeds, which is disagreeable, especially if wet or damp. When the . road-machines came into use, nobody had thought of bicycles. A better machine could not have been invented, especially for the purpose oi making bicycle paths. .What would bicycling on country roads De now were the old-style hand road-scrapers still in use? In removing earth from gutters into the wagon-track they left two small ririces alone the space they trav eled, and these were seldom leveled. If a wheel could travel them at all, tney would certainly go "bumpity-bump." Bicycles rarely have a clear course in a traveled wagon-track, for there axe more or less narrow ruts, and horses feet are apt to cut up the paths in which they have to travel continuously. The modern road-macnanes, wnere ii ami inr some time, have bad the effect to cut off the shoulders of the roads and place this dry, solid earth, in the center of the track, nickiner it up so water will run off at the sides, as it should do, in stead of following ruts, as formerly. t Vnow a certain hill road extending to the railroad station that was alwaye bad. Its surface was broaa, stony anu full of ruts. The wheeled scraper has mnde it the model road of the township. anil the district is oroud of it- There was a vpi-v steen. ascendme erraae irom n hollow ten rods from the railroad track, with a knoll atonesdde. The road tr.v for t"he vear had been worked out; but notwithstanding, as the spirit of mnrovement was on. neighbors voiun tee red and pent nearly two days wnn U ams and tools, and removed the most of that bank into the road where it ought to be. A neighbor who could not work gave necessary drain-tile. The rniiiYtnrl romnanv. not to be outdone in public spirit, furnished seven car-loads -f frravel. and men to handle it, ano now the grade is easy and the surface traveled. This is recited to show that the spirit of improvement is contagious, and when aroused the work will be per fected. A few years ago the legislature of New York passed an act requiring path masters to remove the loose stones fiom the traveled portions of the high- ays at stated periods. This was also done before bicycles were invented, just as though their advent had been foreseen. Now, if one thing more than another troubles the bicyclist, it is small, round, loose stones in the path; but as a rule the roadmasters are very ielinquentin performing the prescribed duty of removing them. As a hint to bicyclists, I know of several cases where wheelmen have told pathmasters that unless they attended to this duty properly, they would be complained of, idding by way of emphasis that if any loose stone in the track, even the small est, should be the means of throwing and injuring a, rider, damages could be collected either of them or of the town ship. This sets them to thinking, and they generally conclude that their safety lies in keeping the track clear of these obstructions. If a horse stumble over a loose stone and break his leg, somebody would be naaie ior aamages, and bo would they if a bicyclist should take "a header" over a loose stone and receive an injury in consequence. Galea Wilson, in Farm and Fireside. Itemized Erlla, Too many stone or too much clay Or too much "wet" or sand, ym make a sorry thing, they say. Of the best road In the land. And yet there's good In all of these If we just know how to fix them: They make a road that's sure to please When rvronerly we mix them. EXCURSIONS TO SHOWS Will Be Run onC & E.

Candies and fruits, fresh and tasty, at GRANDMAMMA'S GARDEN. Out from the dusk of the days gone by That come to me now as dreams Smiles a picture framed by the summer sky And the sunshine's golden beams; Tis a little garden bright with bloom Or flowers both sweet and rare, And from ADril's sun to November's gloom j There were always blossoms there Blossoms fragrant and blossoms gay I Or witching as any elf, ' And blossoms as quaint and sweet always As the gardener was nerseii; For 'twas grandmamma tended them care fully And thev seemed to understand The loving care and .sympathy .: in the touch of her skillful hand. Roses and lilacs and mignonette, Pmk os ninits ana Dniox. Blue-eyed pacsies and violets. Daisies and hollyhocks; Fair syringas and Jack-and-JiU. Larkspur ana coiumDine, Dahlias of many a velvet frill Asters and yellow-vme; There was hardly a flower of form or hue Of the sweet old-fashioned kind That one could look her garden through inii fail its lKetonna. Oft as a child I wandered there And I can remember still How grandmamma severed the blossoms fair Mv'littlp nnron to fill. Still I can see her winning grace And her words I can recau: "Thou, my child, with thy baby face a . civfotpjzt flower of all." Often she severed the silken bloom Of the fair syringa flowers, Yet little I knew their sweet perfume Rrnnrtt Erandmamma vanished hours, For once in her tresses of raven hair In the joy of a glad June-tide, Grandmamma wore the syringa fair Aon invciv vlntiamp bride: Now as I look down the yesterdays The vistas or years gone Dy The sweetest picture that meets my gaze Is framed by the. blue, blue sky. I love not the modern blossoms less That charm with their beauty rare. Yet a bit of heaven's loveliness Seemed grandmamma's garden tair; Ah many a summer's silvery rain And many a winter's snow Have softly come and gone again t Since that sweet long ago. But the gardener quaint and her dear dead flowers A1J til. a. k tJ " - w.0 For In memories sweet of childhood's hours I see them smiling yet. Ohio Farmer. HANDY WAGON BOX. Convenient Arrangement for Use on the Frm or on the Hoad for Hauling; Loads. A stvle of wason-box which is com ing quite extensively into use here in Dur country and we believe is a very handy arrangement for use on tne farm or on the road for hauling loads of grain, wood, tile, etc. is shown in the accompanying plan. The main frame or bottom of wagon-box con sists of two scantling three by four inches and any length, according to length of box desired, although 12 feet makes a very desirable length. These are joined together by two-by-four cross ties, and pinnea at enas into mnrt.ise. The iron sockets on the sides which are made to hold the two-by-three standards on sideboards can be made by any blacksmith out or. an old wagon tire. The sideboards may be maae any height to suit the purpose and may be planed and painted or put up in the rough. There are several styles oi a eg HANDY WAGON BOX. end-gates and any of them can be used to suit the taste. The end-gates may be fastened in with an end-gat rod or hooks and staples used. A box like this can be made tight enough by flooring the frame careful ly, so that any grain or shelled corn may be hauled in it. It can be built very cheaply, and where a farmer is handy with tools should not cost over $1.50, as nearly all the material may be produced from the farm excepting the hardware. However, if the mate rial Vie nurchased it should not cost over four dollars. A very handy feature about this box is that when not in use it can be folded together and set aside out of the way.
