T. G. Wynegar, the traveling plow salesman, reports fall plowing almost impossible in much of his tei*ritory on account of the drouth. While there have been sufficient rains to keep the pastures fairly green, the ground became so dry during the August drouth that the recent rains have not wet it down more than an inch or two and fall plowing has been abandoned in many places. This condition exists in Jasper county, where the acreage of wheat will doubtless be greatly reduced because fall plowing could not be done. Then She Kissed Him. "You have not kissed me,” she? pouted, "for fifteen minutes.” "I know It,” he said. ‘T have a very sensitive tooth, which is liable to ache If I do.” -I "What do you mean, sir?” “Why, you’re so sweet, you know!” “I «M<f Thkilc Yom WooMJ* A beautiful Gypey gM wua emoJoy ed by a German artfat to sit tor one of hie studies.

ROADS AND ROAD MAKING

THE QUESTION OF EDUCATION. Its Importance in Selecting Responsible Road Makers. It is agreed by those who have given the matter proper study that education is necessary in securing road improvement both among those who are the principal users of highways and contribute the greater amount to their construction and maintenance, and those who are responsible for the work of constructing them, says the ’ Good Roads Magazine. That road Improvement does pot go ahead faster is due in large measure to the conservatism of the farmer wfio has used the roads in their present condition ever since he was born and which were also used by bls forefathers from the time the country was first settled. With him the question ds viewed from the standpoint of present cost and not what the benefits will be In the future. As soon, however, as he Is brought to see the Increased economy of getting his produce to market in season, the appreciation in value of his land, and the multitude of other blessings, he is one of the warmest advocates of good roads. When the point Is reached that it Is decided to Improve the roads, then the question of the proper person to become responsible for tmelr construction comes in. So long as the antiquated system of labor tax is employed, so long can little improvement be made. The great ‘need, therefore, is the changing to the money- system and employing some one skilled in the science of road building. When road building is on In earnest throughout the country, the demand for road engineers will be greater than the supply. The action taken by the several schools and colleges In establishing engineering courses for road construction is a step in the right direction.

European Highways.

In nearly all of the European countries whose highways are in good condition, national or state aid in the construction and maintenance of their roads in one form or another is given. _ In the United States, New Jersey in 1901 first started the principle of State aid in the construction of country wagon roads, paying 33 1-3 per cent, of their cost. This State has also abandoned the labor tax system of maintenance and adopted the money system. The total expenditure by the State to date has been about $1,300,000, and by the counties and towns about $5,800,000.

Good Rural Roads.

, The State of Missouri through her Farmers’ Institute work Is keeping the road question well to the front, mainly Insisting that something be done to keep the water away from the road bed, and that a system ot road dragging be practiced on all roads of earth. We consider anything short of the best hard roads to be but a makeshift, and have always Insisted, that In any section where land Is worth on the market from |6O an acre upward, the farmers cannot afford to do without hard roads. We know that It often Is said that Illinois, lowa other Western States have no material with which to build such roads, yet it Is a fact that road-making material has been transported by rail from- Illinois to Tennessee, and there built Into roads that cost but about (3,000 a mile. L_ .. .. Whenever a concerted determination is made to "get out of the mud," ways and means will not be found so very dfflcult, and in very many cases road making material In plenty can be had within a few miles of the line to be built. We have known stone and gravel to be hauled nine miles to build a turnpike road, and this In a section of the country where land on an average was not worth >25 per acre.—Farmer’s Voice.

Cement for Use on Farms.

Twenty years ago one scarcely heard of cement excepting in connection with cistern making, but now we see it used in buildings of all kinds, from poultry-houses to the skyscraper office building. A sidewalk or a stable floor is made right on the spot, made cheaper and better than of brick. \ The claim that such a floor would save its cost In ten years In manure alone is well substantiated by hundreds of farmers. For the body or bottom of Bucih work Portland cement, costing about 12.60 per barrel, ia used with eight parts finely broken stone to one part of cement. For the top or finishng coat one part cement to two of clean gravel is the correct proportion. Many failures are due to the fact that the gravel used has been mixed with loam or earth, and the best authorities agree that a successful job cannot be made unless clean gravel Is used.

Profitably Feeding the Cow.

It la not necessary t) give a cow the same kind of fee 1 for supper that she has for breal fast but the mixtures alike for all hl eakfasts and the supper feeds the same for all suppers for a conside able period. Sudden changes usrall, reduce the milk yield even when a npw ration Is better than the old ak»l when ft Is necessary to make a clange In feed it should be done gradt illy taking a week or ten days to n> ike a radical alteration. —Field and I’arm.

FARM AND GARDEN

THE PRUNING OF FRUIT TREES. 0 • Wherever Practicable Closed Method Should be’Used. One class of pruning experts advocate the open system—that is to cut out the main center limbs and makes the tree something like an inverted umbrella so the sun can shine down into the tree and color the fruit. This is known as the vase system and is not advisable in a country with penetrating sun. In speaking on this subject J. J. Hagerman of New Mexico says: “Many of our first trees were trimmed after this fashion. The other way Is to leave In the leader and trim the t/ee so as to stand In the form God made it to grow. Without question the letter is the proper way to do. The tree is much stronger and better able to bear its load without Injury. With the leader cut out the tree is apt to split in the wind and malm itself with a heavy load of fruit. In this country where trees grow eight months In the the wood is not as strong as trees grown slowly in the north.

The Question of Irrigation.

Where Irrigating is to be done on a large scale, it seems to be the consenus of opinion that surface irrigation by means of furrows is undoubtedly the most practical method. In greenhouses and gardens subirrigation by means of tiles may often be found advisable. Furthermore, many wet soils need drainage and require the laying of tile. In the Tllustration is shown the method adopted by the California station and has been’ found very practicable as the amount of water at any time can be regulated by the slides.

It is probable that the increased yields op subsoiled lands are mainly, if not entirely, due to the Increased amount of water which such land is able to store up for the use of the crop. Subsoil plowing may thus be made the means of greatly extending the area over which crops may be successfully grown without irrigation, and when practiced in connection with irrigation may result in a great saving of irrigation water.

Wide Variety of Apples.

The elder Pliny tells us that the Romans’ had twenty-five varieties of the apple and wealthy people of that time vied with each other In producing the finest specimens, says Field and Farm. It is now supposed that these varieties or some of them were carried by the armies of Caesar in his invasions of Briton, thus adding the rarest leaf to the crown of that great conqueror and giving to the world a gift that few kings could bestow. Those twetny-five varieties will contain 15,000 names and synonyms, one-half of which can .be called distinct varieties. The last report of the American pomological society files down the list to 358 apples and crab apples,that have distinctive characteristics of value to the fruit growers of the United States. Few of this list are adapted to all the States, but some sections can and do grow to advantage many of the varieties. With the present list of known and tried varieties, it is possible and desirable to have good ripe apples on one’s table every day In the year, without resorting to any better means than a cool cellar.

The American Fanner.

Farmers of America ought to be thankful that they are nqt residents of some foreign countries, where they are counted a menial class, where farming is engaged in in the crudest manner, and all work is seemingly performed in the most difficult way possible. Crude Implements and teams, or no teams at all, seem'to b&the rule rather than the exception. Imagine a man working all day pe the sides of a mountain gathering hay, obtaining only a few spears at a time, and at night carrying the gleanings of the entire day home on his back. The farmer in Janpan must perform the work of man and beast. The working hours are" about sixteen,, the labor hard and the fare scanty* Truly the life of the American farmer can be that of a prince if he will only "will" IL

Improving the Soil.

Stirring the soil fills it with afar, improve* its. physical condition and makes the plant food available, It puts life into it and makes it a comfortable home in which the plants may grow. Some old pastures and meadows may be helped by plowing and cropping a year or two, or by disking them at a time when the grass Wil not be killed outright
