And, later on, when the
disease is firmly fixed,
you can b rin f rest and

A 25 cent bottle will
cure new coughs and

better for settled coughs
of bronchitis and weak

is more economical for

unmeti, nowever, tnat tne towns were
forced to pass ordinances compelling
all ablebodied men to “work the road”
a specified number of days or Iu lieu
of such lalior to pay a monthly tax
to the pathmaster or road overseer.
It Is easy to trace progress In nil those
matters which were discussed on tbe
“village green" save one. uud that Is
the “forced labor” system of working
roads, which exists In most of tbe
state« to this day.
Tbe . following extract relating to
the early methods of locating and
building roads. Is copied from a let
ter. dated Nov. 30, 1785. written by
George Washington to Patrick Henry,
then governor of Virginia:
Do you think, my dear sir, that the credit, the
saving and convenience of this country ail re
quire that our great roads leading from one place
to another should be straightened, shortened and
established by law and the power in the county-
courts to aiter them In* withdrawn? To me these
things seem indispensably nflt’cssary, and it is my
opinion they will take place in time. The lon
ger, therefore, they are delayed the more |>eople
will be injured by the alterations when they hap
pen. It is equally clear to me that, putting the
lowest valuation upon the labor of the people
who work upon the roads under the existing law
and the customs of the present day, the repair*
of them by way of contract, to be paid by an as
sessment on a certain district until the period
shall arrive when turnpikes may with propriety
be established, would be infinitely less* burden
some to the community than the present mode.
In this case the contractor would meet no favor.
Kvery man in the district would give information
of neglect, whereas negligence under the present
B ystem is winked at by the only people who
know the particulars or can inform against the
overseer«, for strangers had 'rather encounter the
inconvenience of bad roads than the trouble of an
information and go away prejudiced against the
country for the polity of it.
This system of “working out” tlie
tax was u» unsatisfactory In tlie days
of Washington as It Is now. Much de

THE
PEACH CROP.

A wagon filled with tbe round peck
picking baskets, each basket full of
lieaohea Just as tbey came from the
tree, drove up to tlie barn door. The
pickers use a strap that hooks on to
tlie baskets and tlien goes over tbe
iboulders, leaving both bands free to
work with. When u basket Is filled It
Is taken to the wagon and exchanged
for an empty one, unhooking and rc-
hooklng being an ea»y mnttcr. Thus

tbe fruit reaches the barn without
being rehandled. When the wagon
reached tlie barn one man lifted tbe
baskets from It and carefully poured
the fruit, as desired. Into tbe hopper
or upper end of the grader.
Another man sut on a stool nnd
j worked the foot treadles which keep
| the screw feeders lu motion. There are
two of these revolving feeder rods, ono
1 on each side, and their mission Is to
j keep the penebes moving steadily
uloug down the incline. As the fruit
passed before tbe treadle man he guid
ed It with Ids hands to prevent Jam
ming or crowding, at the same time
throwing out (Into the small basket
at the top) all overripe or Imperfect
penolii>8.
Passing downward, the smallest fruit
drops through au opening and rolls out
of the first (or up|>er) canvas spout.
Into a bushel basket beneath; the next
largest falls Into the next basket, and
so on down to tlie end—the largest
speclmeus making the entire Journey
and then rolling Into a fifth basket (not
shown In picture), placed at the lowest
end of the machine. Now, counting
backward (or up hill), we have, first,
“selects," then No. 1, No. 2. No. 3 nnd
culls. In packing, each Is. of course,
packed separately, nnd the various
■ambers are designated by crosses;
Oue cross for No. 3, two crosses for
No. 2 nnd three for No. 1. The big
peaches are mnrked “selects” or
"fancy;“ the culls are largely fed to
pigs nnd the soft fruit Is sold locally.
It took only ten minutes to run tho en
tire wagon load of peaches (eight bush
els) through the machine. Still more
surprising, the graded fruit did not ap
pear bruised In the least by the opera
tion.
“It'a all owing to how you pt-li
them.’’ explained the grower. "To
grade or ship decently, peaches must
lie taken from the trees while still
lmrd-riliat Is, when they have fully
matured, but have not yet started to
soften."
Iturnl New Yorker, giving an Ulus
trnted account of a paying Michigan
orchard. In which occurs tbe foregoing,
further says that for shipment the reg
ular fifth bushel basket, with slat cov
er and red tarlatan beneath. Is used.
Dealers seem to prefer the tarlntnn
covering; tbey object If It Is not used.
Pulling on tlie tarlntnn nnd covers Is
done at a separate table fitted with sev
eral revolving trays, the latter being
something of a novel Idea. When the
workman takes up a filled basket, lie
sets It down on one of these trays, put*
on tbe tarlatan (or tbe cover), fastens
one end, and then. Instead of lifting
up the basket and changing ends by
muscular effort, he simply give* the
hnndle a whirl with hls Augers until
the desired end swings Into position.
It Is hard work to turn filled baskets
aU day long by main strength; this Ut
ile revolving tray saves both effort nnd
lime.
Formerly It was thought necessary to
sew down the tarlatan, now they sim
ply tuck up the four corners under tho
basket rim—and there you are! That
saves time too.

So long as the leaves of tbe gladio
lus continue green the bulbs are to re
main undisturbed In the ground, tbe
green leaves being an evidence that
the preparation for next summer'«
blood Is not completed. The comple
tion will be shown by tbe leaves turn
ing yellow anil dying or, what amounts
to the same thing, being killed by frost.
In either case, when tbe leaves are
•lend, tlie bulbs are to be dug up. tbe
top rnt off about an tnrb above the
bulb, nnd after drying a few days In
tbe shade the old bulb (which has be
come worthless) Is to lie separated
from the new one— mow than ono
sometimes—which has formed above It
and thrown sway. The new bulb«—
the one« which formed above tbe old
bnlb—are then to be laid away aafe
from frost unlit «prliic.
