The greatest piece of road -building on record was accorpllelzetl in the state of Iowa recently, when. in the *pace of one single hour, a line of road 380 miles In length and stretch- ing entirely across the ()tate from Council Bluffs to Davenport, was put in the most perfect condition of any road west of the Mississippi river. Weeks and months were spent in preparation for the work, but not a pick or i.hovel was used until the designated 'second 'was ticked off, `.,'hen, as if by magic, 10,000 workmen awanned out on tothe roadway, and when they ceased work 00 minutes later Iowa had one of the finest long- distance roads in the entire west.

GORDON'S Clearing Sale /mom earrome.kinome Independent Telephone. The independent telephone line of the Tp. of Obinguacousy has proven a great success. Though only or- ganized eighteen months, at a cost of $4000, the Co. has 400 subscribers, At Brampton they have connection with 800 Bell subseribcirs, and 800 more at °sledon.. They are reaching out for other townships. And not the least interesting thing in connection with the tremendous piece of work is the fact that not a man of the entire 10,000 engaged on the work received one cent of wages, Good will and patriotism alone are responsible for the splendid showing. Last winter the Igwa roads became so fearfully bad that traffic was practi- cally killed and farmers were simply compelled to remain in their hones. Finally the matter became a political question and both parties got behind the movement. Instead of appointing new com- mittees to handle the work, the reg- ular republican and democratic com- mittees in each county through, which the road would pass were appealed to. The chairman of the committee of each party were asked to get in the game and work for the road. Every- body agreed to do so, and soon a rivalry was created between repub- licans and democrats, each to see which party would have the most workmen "on the job" when the time for work arrived. Will Be Great City, The story of Winnipeg is one of the most marvellous and impressive records,gf growth on the continent. Thirty-five years ago Winnipeg's population was less than 1,000, and the school attendance was only 85 pupils it was but a, post of the Hudson's Bay Company, without churches, streets or railroads, and but a few years previously the Indians chased herds of Buffalo across the prairie where the city now stands. It is now the rails road and business centre of the Canadian West, Twenty-two railway tracks radiate from it, and the C.P,R* Yard there, with its. 120 miles of pid- ings, is the largest in the world eon - trolled by a single corporation. Win- nipeg is the chief central point of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific railway systems—these roads having just built a Union Station at a cost of $1,500,000. Three thousand six hundred railway em- ployees reside in the city, The streets of the city are generally wide, . the principal avenues being 132 feet, 120. miles of streets are paved with asphalt, block and macadam. The area of 18,000 acres has been covered by 185 miles of sewers, water mains have been laid down since the city's in- corporation 30 years. ago. A Saturday was selected as the day and from 9 to 10 o'clock the hour of work. Every farmer along the way was personally seen, and agreed to give the ono hour that was asked for. Farmers were asked to bring their plows, scrapers- and road drags, and an organization equal to those em- ployed in professional railroad build- ing was worked but. In the weeks preceding the work all bridges and culverts along the road were repaired and put in first-class order, that no delay might come to the road builders when once this latter started working. The result of the organization was shown on the appointed Saturday. Shortly before 9 o'clock in the morn- ing farmers began getting out in the road. Hundreds and thousands of plows, picks, shovels, scrapers, road drags, grading -machines and other implements were brought along. Every farmer brought his team with hien, Superintendents and overseers had been appointed in readiness when, promptly at 0 o'clock- the order was issued to "fall to," and 10,000 deter- mined inen "fell to." For an hour they continued, working with might and main. At 10 o'clock the job was finished, and the farmer§ went back to their fields, leaving Iowa the pos- sessor of the finest piece of long- distance roadway in the West.

P, SMITH, Agent Itlingliamf Maitland Drainage Scheme. A deputation was in Toronto re- cently interviewing Hon, Dr, Reaume Minister of Public Works, in connec- tion with a drainage scheme affecting the townships of Grey and Etma. About 10,000 acres of Iand in these townships are affected by the over flowing of the Maitland River where the banks are very low. This state of affairs is caused by the increased number of drains which empty into the river, overtaxing it. It is pro- posed that the river be dredged at this point and the deputation asked that the Government make a grant to assist the interested townships in carrying out this project. The prom- ise was given that the matter wbuld receive the most favorable considera- tion of the Minister. RHEUMATISM Cured By Booth's Kidney Pills. Not A Ghost. One night lately, the residents of a certain pkrt of the town of Galt were horrified to see what appeared to be a, real live ghost. The chief was notified and appeared on the scene to find a resident boarder of the town wander, ing about in ,his night attire, bare• footed, Ile was taken to his room, W111011 was found locked, thee making the mystery more mysterious.

A good man with $500 cash can secure the bar- gain of a life time, Lost His Baggage. Mike was an immigrant, no need to say where from. About all his bag gage consisted of a bottle of the "rale stuff." When he arrived in Canada, the man for whom he was to work met him and said "Where's your baggage 2" •Lost, sur," said Mike. "Lost 2 All your baggage ?" "'very bit of it, sur," replied Mike. "But how did it happen 2" asked the employer. "The cork came out, sur," answered Mike. ° Start Hens Laying. The frost binds the earth, and the air cuts sharply ; the hens feel the ef- fects of the cold. They molted long ago, and have fully grown their new coats of feathers, They look well with their fresh plumage and bright red combs, Their appetites are good, but they do not lay. Put over the fire a frying pan _stud heat some fat, either lard or tallow. Into the hot fat pour good, sound, phttnp oats, in quantity sufficient for the number of hens to bo fed. Cook the oats thoroughly. When they are done, remove the frying pan from the fire, and allow the oats to cool. Deed them while warm, but not while hot. Do this for the morning meal. For the mid-day heal give the hens some green food, such as beets, carrots, cab- bages or the like, as much as they will eat up in an hour or so. The cabbage may be suspended from a string, and the roots cut in two. At night give corn, whole or cracked, which bas been warmed through in the oven. This like the fried oats, should be fed warm, but net hot. Throughout the day give plenty of water, from which the chill has been removed, renewing the supply as may be necessary. It will not be many days, after this method of feeding has teen employed, before the hens will go singing about their task of producing eggs. The combination of elements in the oats, reinforced by the fats itt the lard or tallow, seems to be just what is need- ed to start the egg-produoing organs into action, Ritchie & Cosens REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE Could Speak English.. , The intention to force the French language on the county shows itself in some serious and some absurd as- pects. The absurd phase is illustrated by an incident in Hawkesbury. A company there employs a large num- ber of French-Canadians, One day the boss gave an order to one of the men, and found to his surprise that he was not. understood. The Iack of understanding was shown when another laborer was spoken to. None of the men were able to understand the English, though formerly they had, The boss, who was a resolute man, issued an ultimatum that the men could speak English or quit, Ile threatened to shut down his mill. A miracle then happened at once, and the laborers resutned their knowledge of English without any delay. PARISIAN SAGE AN IDEAL NAIR 'SONIC.
