^40*4. MONO those interested in
\f fe '' on<1 improvement, the
A farmers of course stand
o O and
ft 'sjtfOW'’ ■“ K first. The character
condition of the roads are
or vital interest to them every day in
the year. The farmers, until recently,
have been compelled to struggle with
the road problem without much help
or encouragement from any other
class. Now, however, some strong ole-
meut of the city population arc rally*
ing to their support, Among these
may be named the manufacturers of
road building machinery; the makers
and users of bicycles and automobiles,
and the moneyed men of the cities who
have money Invested In the country.
These people are entering Into the
work for road Improvement with even
more enthusiasm and zeal than the
fanners.
Just now the farmers who want
better roads are brought face to face
with a most important question. Will
be accept the assistance of these city
allies? Will he welcome the aid of
the machinery man, the capitalist, the
bicyclist ami the autoinoblllttt? Or
will he treat them aa schemers who
are trying to meddle with his af¬
fairs?
The answer to these questions ought
1o depend on what these city friends
of good roads are proposing to do. If
they propose to have the country roads
improved in order to Increase their
business, and enhance tlielr pleasures,
wholly at the expense of the farmer,
then he should spurn the proffered
alliance. If, on the contrary, they am
proposing, through Stale and National
taxation, to lift a large part of the
burden off the farmer and place It
on the taxpayer.- of the cities, he ought
to hid tlier welcome, and extern' the
glad hand.
This is a live question for the farmer
to consider and answer. Already the
opponents of State and National aid
are at work trying to sow seeds of
suspicion In the minds of the farmers,
and they will do tlielr best to prevent
any co-operation between the country
and city friends of good roads.
As a matte rof fact, State and Na¬
tional aid offer the only hope of gen¬
eral road improvement, and such aid
can never be secured If the city people
array themselves against It. Unless
the farmers are wholly blind to their
own interests, they will welcome aid
from any and every source, and will
make every effort to secure the pow¬
erful aid of the State and Federal
Governments,

The candid and unprejudiced opinion
of a public man on a question concern¬
ing which he is well qualified to speak
is nearly always of Interest. Such
an opinion concerning the p;aspect for
National Highway legislation was re¬
cently retired from a gentleman who
is a close observer of men and events,
and who has spent many years at the
National Capital. He paid:
I have watched tin* growth of the
so called "good roads movement" with
much interest, and especially since
Colonel Brmviilow Introduced into Con¬
gress Ills hill providing that the Gov¬
ernment should pay half the expense
of improving the roads. As regards
the prospect of such a measure ever
becoming a law. I will say that It alt
depends on the farmers. If tin- agri¬
cultural classes go to work In earnest
for Government aid, they will get It;
if they do not, Congress will never eu-
net Kuril a law. In Government af¬
fairs, ns In most other affairs, I have
noticed that the people who go after
things are tin*, people who get them.
The farmers as n elans receive coni-
puratlM'Jy little serious consideration
from Congress simply because they
don't demand It. Kvory Congress now
appropriates more than a billion dol¬
lars, hut low much of this Is spent in
the rural districts? Almost nothing.
Millions are spent for public buildings
In cities; millions for improvement of
rivers and harbors; millions for the
army and navy, millions for the Uov-
criiment at Washington, etc. Occa¬
sionally a few thousand dollars go for
something that directly benefits the
farmers, but (hat is all. Of course
them isn’t as uiueh chance to give the
farmers direct benefits from the spend¬
ing cf public money. But nation.a! aid
to road improvement fi.rnisbos an
ideal opportunity. It would even up
things to some extent. It would err-
t.vnly be a big thing for the rural d is-
triets. The- money spent would of
cr.'rse make good times; but the main
t en tit would came from the
l ir:ii cf the roads. It would Increase
the value cf farm lauds; it would o:i-

the Nomination.
The statement Is often rjnde that no
man ever declined n nomination for
President. A convention of the Aboli¬
tionist party was held in New York
City in November, 3847. and nominated
John P- Hale, of New Hampshire, for
President, sud Leicester King, of Ohio,
for Vice-President. Mr. Hale declined
the nomination and the ticket was
abandoned. Iu 1S52 the Free Soil

THE VERSATILE COWBOY.
Akin to Ailspt Tlicmiclvcs to Almost Any
J'osltlnn In Life.
The cowboy was versatile and could
sing in the choir or clerk in a bank.
When lie saw Ills occupation going
from him ho naturally turned to the
first calling for which lie was titled,
say* Andy Williams in the Omaha
World. The State of Nebraska main¬
tains the appointive office of inspector
of county treasuries, something simi¬
lar to a National bank examiner, li¬
regularities and defalcations In Sta.e
and county funds necessitated the
office ns a matter of protection lor
(he public good. Wild) llie office was
created Ed Hearle, of Ogalnlln, an ex-
cowboy and thoroughly qualified, was
appointed by the Governor to the po¬
sition. and during Ills Incumbency of
that office there was not the defalca¬
tion of a single penny. Honesty be¬
came an en forced virtue under Searle’s
inspection. The question of what be¬
came of the cowboy suggests Itself.
That the old West Is a thing of the
past no one disputes. A combination
of unseen obstacles, such as successive
severe winters, entailing serious losses
on cuttle, coupled with wire fences
and railroads, killed the trail In a
single year. Where, In 18S1, over 700,-
000 entile crossed the northern boun¬
dary of Texas at three fords on the
Red River, six years Inter not n single
herd passed over the trail. Then the
cow towns of the West became way
stations, and the range man disap¬
peared. But when the cowboy un¬
saddled for tho -last time it was not
his intention to turn from the range
which he knew and loved. There were
numerous occupations inviting him,
and whether lie opened a saloon or
started a bank, lie possesed an advan¬
tage In knowing the country and ils
people. While many of them can hp
found following the occupation of llm
small ranchman of the present day.
the great majority turned to other pur-
nults. But they are scattered wide and
can be found among the staid citizen#
of nearly any Western community.

Growing Henl.,
It is special work to grow seeds on
the farm, and any farmer who de¬
pends upon himself for the seeds to be
used next year must be very careful
or Ills varieties will be mixed. The
wind, bees and oilier insects distrib¬
ute pollen, and, although the effects
of involuntary crossing of varieties
may not be noticed this season, there
will be no mistake of results next
year.

Caro In IJrowing Celery.
Transplant the celery to the perma-
limit beds in May or June, placing a
large quantity of manure in the trend),
This crop is oAC that cannot be stir-
felted by too much manure, as it is
one of the grossest feeders known.
The plants must be frequently watered,
soapsuds being better for such pur-
poses than anything else, and the bed
must be kept ns clean and nice as
possible. It requires care lo have cel-
cry that is large, crisp and white, hut
then it is a valuable crop when grown
and pays well for the attention be¬
stowed. If you neglected to sow the
seed you can procure tin* plants from
seedsmen niul you should not fall io
have a supply.
Growing Lima Iteann.
No vegetable is more popular than
lima beans, and they are suitable for
all classes of persons as welj as for
all manner of dishes. The difficulty
with them is the poles, which are some¬
times expensive, but if strings are
used, ns is done for climbing flowers,
the vines will grow and thrive equally
as well. All that is necessary is to
keep them off’ the ground, and it is not
necessary to pole them if inconvenient.
The late crop should be a large one,
not only for the purpose of supplying
the family table, but also that they
may be dried and laid aside for win¬
ter. If stored away they are very
serviceable at that season, as they
may then tie soaked and used for the
same purposes as when they are
green.

As the rye and clover become fibrous

hogs make such increased gains that

At night it often slipped In and slept

Told by General Gordon.
The late General John B. Gordon’
was a brilliant raconteur. He had a
fund of anecdote and stories, not only
of his war experiences, but dealing
with the most prominent men and
women of today with whom he tvas
thrown in personal contact. Among
his warmest friends were ex-President
and Mrs. Cleveland who on one occa¬
sion visited Georgia as his guests.
The General, who was at that time
Governor, was very fond cf telling
how "Aunt Sue,” his family washer-
woman, snubbed the Clevelands.
Wishing to show the President some¬
thing genuine and entirely from the
old South, he sent his carriage out
to his country home for old "Aunt
Sue,” an ex-slave and a lifelong 'ser¬
vant of the family.
When tho coachman reached her
cabin he found the old woman hang¬
ing out her week’s wash. He told
her that the General has sent for her
to come in to sea the President of the
United States.
“Who’s he?” asked the old woman.
“Who's he?” replied the coachman.
“Why, Mister Grober Plebeian'—who
you ’spec?”
• Aunt Sue looked at him a moment.
Then, in a mingled tone cf dignity
and scorn, she said: “Clebelan’?
Ciebelan’? I ain' never burn tell er
no Clebelap’s. You go long hofoe en
tell Mars John he ca’ fool dis ole
’oman. Dem Clehelan’s mils’ be some
er his ’lection friends—dey ain’ no
qual’ty, en’ I ain’ gwine fool wid urn."
And the old woman turned back to
her tub and would not bs persuaded.
The conversation, much to ihei
amusement cf Mr. Cleveland, was re¬
peated in his hearing, the General
happening to question the coachman
while the President was near.—Harp¬

Cat Adopted Orphan Coons.
Colonel L. L. Hawkins recently se¬
cured a new prize for his collection
of weird and wonderful exhibits at the
city museum, in Portland, Ore. The
doughty Colonel has excelled himself
in his latest acquisition, and if one
desires to see such a bizarre thing as
a pussy cat mothering a litter of
young raccoons he may be gratified at
the city hall. All previous happy fam¬
ily records have been broken by an
old mother cat rejoicing in a fdmily
cf two baby coons and her own proper
kitten, which Colonel Hawkins se¬
cured at Beaverton and lias now com¬
fortably installed at the museum.
A few days ago some boys killed
a female raccoon near Beaverton, and
upon beating the bush discovered her
nest with four little ones in it clamor¬
ing for their mother. The baby coons
were taken to the home of Mrs. B. L.
Griffitts, near by, where a cat was
rearing a family of four kittesis. The
kittens were given to another feline
in which the maternal insmnet was
strong, and tire little coons, substitu¬
ted without protest from the mother.
In a short time two of thet little wild
kittens died, but the other tpair thrived
in their new environment, and the
story of the cat with the.coou family
became something of a/sensation in
the neighborhood. ,
Colonel Hawkins hqiard of it and
made tho twenty mile/drive out and
hack for the purpose rof bringing the
wonder to Portland- Mrs. Griffitts
finally consented to. lend the family
to the museum, and.as an evidence of
good faith one of the kittens w r as
brought along with the little coons
to complete the picture of mixed do¬
