THE ROAD SCRAPER.
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

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.

Too many stone or too much clay
Or too much "wet" or sand,

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.

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

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

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. George W. Brown, in
