In his annual report on highway im-
provement, in the Province, Mr. A. W.
Campbell, Deputy Minister of Public
Works, emphasizes the necessity of effi-
cient methods in the construction of
roads, The outlay on country roads in
the Province during the ten years 1890-
1004 represents, he says, a value of $21.-
000,000, made up of a Dash expenditure
of $10,432,902, and 10,510,900 days of
statute Iabor. Expenditures on town
and city streets represent a large addit-
ional amount. Daring the period 1903-
1906 there was expeuded on the county
roads of Lennox and Addington, Mid-
dlesex, Peel, Lincoln, Oxford, Welling-
ton, Hastings, Lanark, Wentworth and
Simcoe counties, under the good roads
act, an aggregate of $8S7,282, ot which
$250,444 was spent in 1906. Of the ag-
gregate the Goverument'a contribution
wad $295,751 and the miles of road im-
proeed totalled 2,076 Iu a. reference to
the growing use of automobiles on the
roads, and the antagonistic feeling there-
to existing in some rural localities, Mr,
Campbell foresees the time when this
will pass, and the automobile will come
into common use.

says: "Flutelike" was the term used
by one pressman to desoribe Sir Wilfrid
Lanrier'evoice, as heard at the Guild-
hall's luncheon, last week; while two
others likened it to a bell and a trumpet
respectively. In Canada, however,
among his own French-Canadian kith
and kin, he is known universally as
"Silver-tongued Laurier," a name which
fits him to a nicety. His peculiarly
charming enunciation, too, is best heard
when speaking in French, although the
faint trace of an alien accent that hangs
about his English does not detract from,
bat rather enhances, his oratorical efforts
in that language. And, by the bye,
while on the subject of Sir Wilfrid, may
one be permitted to ask whom does he
really resemble? He has been publicly
likened here in London to Cardinal Man-
ning and Sir Henry Irving, while the
last edition of the Encyclopedia Britan-
nica, in ate very interesting biographical
notice, ineiete upon his facial re:emb-
lance to Lord Beaconsfield and Sir John
Macdonald. Personally, the writer, when
standing opposite him the other day
was strnok with the exceedingly strong
likeness be bote to to the published pot•
traits of Herbert Spencer.

KICKING.

'Tie useless to kick at the wealth of your
Iieighbonr.
It never will fatten your purse;
'Tie idle to kick 81 the state of the
weather,
It makes it not better nor worse.
'Tis empty to kink at the scheme of
oreation,
It does not affect it a bit
And vain, is the kick at the age that you
live in,
Its march is not halted a whit.
'Tis useless to kick at the failings of
people,
There's nothing to show for the work;
'Tis vain to condemn the society
wrinkles.
It never wilt alter a quirk.
There's nothing accomplished by sitting
and railing,
Improvement more effort demands;
Success is the need of a different person,
The fellow who kicks with his hands.

The kidneys are often affected and
cause serious disease when least sus-

float before the eyes, the urine contains
a brick -dust sediment, or is thick and
stringy, scanty, highly colored, in fact
when there is anything wrong with the
small of the back or the urinary organs
then the kidneys are affected.

In writing of the road drag in Motor
News D. C. Wing of Missouri says:
It takes a courageous man to start
something new in a farming commu-
nity. As a class we farmers resist in-
novations almost to the extent of
making ourselves absurd in the eye
of an intelligent public. It is minis-
ing with what bulldog tenacity wet
hang to traditions, old methods and
scrub stock. But the drag is sweep-
ing us toward a brighter day.
Dragged after each rain, when the.
mud works nicely and does not stick
to the drag, a road will acquire during,
the season such a thick, compact
"hide" that it will turn water, resist
the action of frost and remain hard
and smooth throughout the year. The+
more it is traveled the better it will,
be, provided it is dragged after each
rain, Every time the dust paste is
spread over the surface and then
beaten down and hardened the road
is improved. Tho writer has a piece
of road that has been dragged for
two years. Its shell is so thick and
hard that it can scarcely be cut with
an axe,
You can wager that the bottom wiR
not fall out of this road, no matter
how wet the spring may be. It was
tested the last spring by weeks of
rainy weather, but it held its own.
Other roads were impassable. Their
bottoms fell out, and they would mire
man or beast. Instead of turning the
water, they absorbed it.
A good earth road must be Iiardi.
smooth and oval or convex. A road
will acquire these fundamental char-
acteristics and retain them if it is.
dragged after each rain. By riding.
the drag the driver can regulate the
amount of earth moved toward the
centre. The first applications of the
drag will merely knock off the rough
edges, fill in the ruts and provide for
more effective work in the future. ,
The Hereford.
Among beef cattle at the present
time the Hereford is most firmly es-
tablished as a profitable feeder, .As
a "rustler" on the ranges it has no
superior and no steers will respond
quicker to care and good stall feed-
ing titan those of this famous breed.,

A TYPICAL ItEatr. FORO fEtrEit-A ROYAL
CHOW WINi:1t1:,
Of late years a hornless variety has
been introduced and efforts are now
being made to fix the type; should
this be successful the Hereford will
find even more admirers than it has
to -day. According to the American
herd books there are over 200,000
Herefords now registered, which.
places this breed second only to the
favorite Shorthorns. •,
Care of Work Horses. ,
Many persons after driving their
teams in the slush and mud think if
they dash a few pails of water over
the horses' limbs upon returning they
have left the poor brutes in the best
.possible condition until morning. The
fact is it would be far better'to turn
the animals into the stable and leave
them, mud ant all, until their legs
are fully. dry. There would be less
danger of scratches, mud fevers and'
grease heels than by the plan of wash_.
ing. If the legs are washed they'
should be rubbed quite dry, which is
no easy task. If left partially dry the
most serious consequences are likely
to follow. When a team is left with'
the hair, partially dry a chill is sure
to ensue. It is not unlikely the ani-
mals, especially if exhausted, will be
-fot'.nd the next morning stiff, with the
limbs swollen, since the exhaustion
of the system prevents healthy reac-
tion at the swollen extremities.-Agri-

Testing Seed Corn.
There are many devices for testing
the germinating power of seed corn.
In principle they are all the same,
and as in most other things, the
simplest is as good as any.
In order to germinate, seed must
have moisture, air and heat, and any
device which supplies these condi-
tions to the best advantage will an-
swer a farmer's purpose.
A good method to adopt is to take
an ordinary dinner plate, with a
double fold of moistened flannel, be-
tween which the kernels can be laid;
cover this with another plate to pre
vent too rapid drying. This tester
should be kept in a room in which.'
the temperature ranges about seventy
degrees, All kernels which fail to send,
out vigorous root and stem sprouts
within five days should be considered
es too weak 'to germinate properly un-
der field conditions, and if more than
five per cent. of the seed fails to ger-
minate within the five days the bulk
of the seed is likely to prove unsatis-
faotary.
Farming By Electricity.
Some of the enterprising farmers of.
Davidson and Turner counties, South.
Dakota, aro forming an association
for the pur-pese of introducing elec-
tricity in the farming communities.
They expect to utilize electricity in
plowing and cultivating the soil, har-
vesting farm nia-
vesting the crops, running
ehinery and Iighting the homes of the
people. It will be applied to the dai-
ries, creameries and other local indus-
tries. Power is to bo put in the home
for the 'purpose of running sewing
machinery, laundry appliances and
everything requiring physical labor.
A Garden Hint.
Don't plant potatoes or melons neat
the same place you had them last eea-
MM. if you can avoid it. The hugs are
quick enough to find them in any
event, and if the new crop is in s.
place already infested they will be so
much tho worse.
