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.

The average The Reader of London, England, and , 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.

The kidneys are often affected and cause serious disease when least sus- pected. When the back aches, specks 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.

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.

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- cultural xtremities: Agri- cultural Epitomist. 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.
