The RYDER ROAD.
A buckeye Lesson, Trite, But Always
Timely and Important.


Timely and Important.
In Portage county, Ohio, is a long,
beautiful street known as the Ryder
road. 1t is the pride of the county.
No weeds nor rubbish are allowed in
its neat borders, shaded by handsome
naples; no untidy farms blot its vicin-
ity, but farms broad and goodly to the
sight, bearing luxuriant crops, srreGd
out on either side through its whole
length. All this has been accomplished
by persistent and united energy of the
neighboring farmers. Good roads and
tidy farms, wherever found, are sure
evidence of thrift and intelligence. Ii
the women folks should allow rubbish
to accumulate in the corners of the
rooms they would deservedly gain the
name of slovenly housekeepers; so too,
should the farmer be dubbed slovenly
who permits weeds along his fences
ndroadsides. Moreover. he neglects
the golden rule. for weeds are travel
ers, having many ways to reach neigh
bors' premises. It is the nature of
weeds, when undisturbed, to multiply
their SPECIES amazingly, A single plant
OF moth mullen bore in one season
ninety.one seedpods; the seeds from
three of these pods, carefully counted,
numbered 800. If only half the seeds
from this plant had grown, how
much labor would have been re-
quired TO destroy one years increase;
while that Of successive years would be
beyond compute. Even now it is not
too late ito begin warfare against
weeds If Immediately after rain or
willing frost the stalks are cleared up
and burned from roadsides, fence lines
and gardens, millions of seeds may be
destroyed; then if the ground is turned
over with the plow to the winter frosts
most of the roots will be killed. A
thorough narrowing in spring and an
other in midsummer would put an end
to roots that may have withstood the
winter. and also TO seeding weeds
This severe treatment is for perennials
of long standing or that sucker An
nuals and some perennials may be
killed out in time and by persistent
close cutting, as plants cannot flourish
without leaves, and are soon exhaust
ed by being forced to send out new fo-
liage. Bear in mind that good work
begun is more than half done. Do not
wait till bushes and briers add difficult
ties to the work of determination, and
do not depend upon example alone to
make your neighbors see the error of
their ways. Start u farmers club and
make war against weeds condition of
membership. Thus you may gain CO.
operation and greatly lesson the dam
ger of unwelcome tenants from your
neighbors' surplus. Mrs. j. NJ. Mill
gan, in n. Y. Tribune.

The Profit In Ashes.

Ashes used as fertilizer are gen.
erally very profitable. They supply
potash to stimulate the nerves of the
growing plants and are thus a true ma
nure. In contact with clay soil they
liberate the phosphate of lime, with
manure they hasten decomposition. 1t
does not pay farmer to produce less
on his land than it is capable of pro-
ducing. A large crop exhausts its fer
tility more than a small one, but the
cost OF harvesting the large one is very
little more than it costs to harvest n
small crop. Part of the profits from
the larger crop can be used in restoring
the fertility of the land. 1t is only
when there is profit from crops to re-
store fertility that failure in farming
can be averted. To get immediate re-
turns, potash is necessary in some
form, and, if properly used, it will en-
able the farmer to have succession of
large crops, thereby leaving him profit
able returns, part of which can be
used in restoring the soil. With small
crops and no returns, the end is fail
urc, and ashes help to supply strong
and quick growth.-N. E. Homestead.

a more congenial subject "are large,

to be wondered at; but the composition
maker was evidently writing OF blub-
Der under a wrong name. Another
youth said that 'Julius Caesar invented
Great Britain, So b. c." while an equal
ly accomplished historian explained
that'"Ethelred the Unready was called

A thoughtful little parsonage declares

that "there are five ways of cooking po-

"When roasting piece of meat, put it
in front of brisk fire so as to congrat-

Another thinks "we should not eat so
much bone-maliing food as hesh-mal1ing

Lace Making and Knitting Taken Up By

Lace Making and Knitting Taken Up BY
Society's Darings.
One of the fads of the present season,
and one which promises to become more
or less popular among the ladies, is the
manufacture of their own trimmings
for underwear.
In England and France during the
last season, at the afternoon teas and
at the meetings of the ladies' clubs and
societies, the making of lace was dis
tinctly popular. The ladies who visited
abroad have come home, bringing with
them dainty patterns, and the disease
is sure to spread. The knitting and
crocheting of lace is the most liked of
these occupations.
The dainty, cobwebby patterns which
our grandmothers used to create with
two knitting needles and spool of fine
linen thread are all being revived, and
from them the ingenious fair ones are
evolving new and more intricate pat
terms.
"A young society lady. who is to be-

A waste of time?' Well, why? These

Then, too, think how charming she
