r A Lesson About Cotton. Here are some facts about cotton that "ivory one interested in the production of cotton would do well to study. The 9.900,000 bale cropof 1894-95 sold for $326,000,000. The 7,000,000 bales produced in 1895 JML sold for $292,000,000. The crop of 1890-97 amounted to 8, '750,000 bales, sold for $327,000,000. sold Or the big crop of 1894-95 for $64,000,000 lesB than the succeeding year’s crop, although it was nearly 3, 000,000 bales larger. The crop of 1896 -97 sold for $199,000, - 000 more and was over 1,000,000 bales «ess. Thus it will appear that the larger the crop the less it sells for, and a 7,000,000 hale crop is really worth hale more to producers thau a 10,000,000 Or crop.—Exchange. the more cotton the less money •a verification of the well known law of inverse proportion.

Spring Medicine A Good Blood Purifier a Neces¬ sity Now Hood’s Sarsaparilla Unequalled for Making Rich, Red Blood The necessity for taking a good Spring Medicine to purify the blood and build up the system is based upon natural and un avoidable causes. In cold weather tliero has been less perspiration and impurities have not passed out of tho system as they should. Food has consisted largely of rich, fatty substances, and there has been less opportunity for outdoor exorcise. The result is, the blood is loaded with im purities and these must bo promptly ex polled or health will be endangered.

Compare Conditions Carefully. Misrepresentation makes mischief. Care should be exercised in making comparisons. Statements have been made that some States are paying $2000 a mile for good roads, while other States pay $10,000 for abbut the same thing. As ft matter of fact, the roads are very unlike, and differently built. First-class, permanent stone Toads, well drained and properly graded, are likely to cost very much nearer the latter figure than the for¬ mer.—L. A. W. Bulletin. f Different Forma of Pavemehtt There is no one variety of pavement suited to all degrees and forms of traf¬ fic, says the Municipal World. ‘ ‘Granite block pavement ia the most durable which can be constructed, re¬ quires but little repair and is well adapted to steep grades, but is rough, noisy and trying on the hoofs of horses. Asphalt is a very smooth and agreeable pavement on which to drive, is handsome, sanitary and may be kept very clean, but ia less durable than granite, and cannot be used on steep grades. Vitrified brick is fairly well adapted to steep grades, ranking next to granite in the foothold afford¬ ed horses, is smooth and less noisy than granite, is very agreeable for driving or wheeling, may be kept very clean, but is less durable than either granite or asphalt. Crushed stone (macadam) is the most agreeable for driving, is not noisy, is superior to all in safety is adapted to steep grades, but under excessive traffic is very ex¬ pensive to maintain..” A Stimulus to Fife in Rural Communities* We have 1,300,0Q0 miles of country roads in the United States. Most of them are so had that hauling is costly, laborious and often cruel work, while driving for recreation is out of the question. The pleasures of country life would be doubled were there turn¬ pikes in every neighborhood. Notice those counties in Kentucky, like Shel¬ by, where the roads are kept in a high state of improvement, and others, like Green, where there are virtually no highways. Witness the improvement in the rural life of Hardin and Warren counties, whicii have recently built ex¬ tensive and valuable systems of turn¬ pikes. There is no greater agency to stimulate farming and the whole life of rural communities than the build¬ ing of roads; no other so easy to be re¬ sorted to. It is not necessary to invite foreign capital; it can be done at home. It will relieve the hard conditions of rural life so fully that the drift of the population to towns and cities would be at once arrested. When pleasure and profit are so joined together as in this scheme of improvement why should there be hes¬ itation?—Louisville Courier-Journal. Good Roads Easy to Secure. A Pennsylvania paper says that a competent engineer and contractor offers to give bonds to gridiron Lan¬ caster County with first-class macadam roads within five years, so that there won’t be a farmer who will live over a mile-and-a-lialf from one of these roads on any side of him, and three-fourths will live immediately on them, pro¬ vided a four mill tax per annum on the county’s valuation (outside of Lan¬ caster and Columbia) be paid him for ten years. This looks like an easy way to get good roads. The county is about twenty-eight by thirty miles, so it would require nearly 50U miles of road to cross it in both ways, every three miles, But the contractor allows tor building 60!) miles, as fol¬ lows: EXPENDITURES. 300 miles, 15 ft. wide at $3,000.... $ 900,000 300 “ 10 ...... 2,000.... 000,000 Iuterest on annual expenditures.. 250,000 Repairs tor five years............. 100,000 ei,850,000 IIECEII'TS.

To Work Virginia’s Convicts oil tbe Road. The bill introduced in the Virginia Legislature, for the employment of convicts oil the roads of the State, provides that all able-bodied male prisoners, sentenced to jail or peni¬ tentiary for more than ninety days, shall be subject to work on the roads. Those sentenced to county jails shall work upon the roads of such counties, unless there is no immediate need of them, in which case they may be hired to other counties, but only for road work. The convicts not required for ser¬ vices in the penitentiary are to be dis¬ tributed among the counties, on ap¬ plication, and none are to be hired out for any purpose but road worn. Not less than five, nor more than twenty-five, are to he assigned to any one county, every assignment to he made for a year, unless shorter time is requested, and even then for not less than ninety days. If the number of convicts is not sufficient to fill the applications, they are to be supplied ratably. Convicts, in respect to their work, are to be under the control of the county authorities in which they work; but,vas prisoners, they are to “remain in the custody of the State authorities as if they remained in the penitentiary,” and transportation ex penses, guarding, feeding, clothing and medical attendance are to be paid by the State, the counties to provide euitablft shelter. Each county is to adopt and put in operation a scheme or plan for working its roads by such prisoners in its jail as are available, together Seciirect with those which may be from the State, and ‘ ‘every county shali an¬ nually levy d road tax bf hot less thati fifteen cents, nor more hundred thah thirty cents, bn every 'ode dollars of the value of the property, real and personal, assessed for taxes in the county, the proceeds to be applied to road improvements in said county.” Cost _ of Bad Hoad Transportation. Some very interesting observations as to the cost ot bad roads to farmers were made in an address delivered to the students oi Union College, N Y., by Mr. Francis V, Greene, President of he Barber Asphalt Company; At a thorough discussion of the expense as well as the inconvenience bt bac highways is necessary to bring about a reform some of his remarks are here reproduced: “In the older and more settled por tions of the country the railroads are so numerous and the rates are so low that they yield but a small return on the capital invested, and the construc¬ tion of new railroads lias ceased to bo an attractive field for investnleiit: The rates of freight have been steadily reduced, year by year, until they are now barely one-fourth of what they were thirty years ago. Still the traps portation problem can not be consid ered as satisfactorily solved if it costs much to carry a ton of wheat or pota¬ toes to the railway station as it does to carry it 400 miles over the railroad, “The bad condition of the roads be gun to attract widespread attention something over ten years ago. Certain elementary principles were evident a glance, to wit: the price of farm products is fixed at the great cities oi centers of consumption and distribu* tion, and is wholly beyond the farmer’s control, and the cost of transporta tion is a principal factor in determin ing his profits or the possibility auy profit. On the railroads this has been reduced until it varies according to bulk, from one cent to six mills ton per mile. But the average roads are so bad that a two-horse team and wagon, the value of which is $3 pel day, cannot haul a ton of produce more than ten miles and return in a day. The cost of road transpartation is, therefore, thirty cents per ton per mile, or about forty times as great as the rate on the railroad. The average distance from the farm to the nearest railroad station is at least ten miles, so that it costs as much to get the goods to or from the railroad station as to carry them 4-00 miles on the cars. It only needs to state these element¬ ary facts to show what an enormous drain bad roads make on our re sources. ‘ ‘It is evident that au improvement in these conditions is imperative, and the remedy is equally evident, for it has been proved, not only by chanical experiment but by actual test, that the same force which draws one ton 011 a muddy earth road will draw four tons on a hard macadam read? O 11 the improved roads in New loads of four to five tons are habitr/ ally drawn by a two-horse team. This effects a saving of fully three-fourths of the cost of hauling to the station, and reduces the cost of road trans¬ portation from thirty cents to seven and one-half cents per ton per mile. What this saving amounts to may be imagined when it is known that the New York Central railroad alone car ries nearly 20,000,000 tons of way freight in a year. If this is hauled only two miles by road to or from the station, and a saving of twenty-two and one-half cents per ton per mile could be effected, it would mean a total saving of nearly $9,000,000. These figures may seem exaggerated, but they will no longer appear so when we realize the saving actually ac¬ complished by the reduction ill rail¬ road rates in the last twenty-five years. For instance, in 1869 the average freight rate on the New York Central Railroad was 2.4 cents per ton per mile; in 1893 it was seven mills. This saving, on the business of 1893 is ward of $64,000,000. This is the suit, which has been accomplished. by the application to the railroad prob lem of the highest available talent.' Liming ttiese same twenty-nve hvonfv fivp jeai.. -voire! little or no attention has been given tOj the railroad problem. The roads are as bad now as they were in 1869, ana the cost of transportation over then as great now as it was then, In tli next twenty-five years the results ae complished on the common roads arc likely to be as remarkable as thos: achieved on the railroads in the twenty-five years.” ...........-•---- Longest Mane and Tail of Any Horse. In the Dresden Museum there is stuffed horse which formerly belonged to the Hector oi baxe, August II. tho Strong. This horse’s mane is 12ft. long, and his tail is over 3’yds. length. On State o.c..ion, the Elector was wont to ride his horse, a retinue of pages attending to support the animal’s mane aud tail. In 1890, a scientific review . published ii-ii a picture - , of a French stallion (named Absalom), of the Percheron race, whose inane was was 1 L,yus.
