IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY.

may be canned or dried. Or if kept in
a cool place in it's husk the cherry will
keep plumpand sound until December,
or later.
In growing ground cherries about
the same method is pursued as in grow
ing tomatoes. The seeds are sown in
hotbeds, and the young plants are not
taken to the garden until danger of
frost is past. The plants are very
branching, most of the branches taking
lateral direction. almost touching the
ground. For this reason they should
be set not less than four feet apart
each way. There is need of extra care
IN keeping down the weeds during the
first half of the season, for later on the
plants are in the way of such work.
The ground cherry is wonderfully pro-
life. The first ripe ones are gathered
about the first of August. After this
the fruit may be picked every two or
three days until cut off by frost The
fruit drops off as soon as it Is ripe, so
the most Of the picking is done from
the ground. On good soil one may ex-
pect to get bushel from IS or 20
plants, or from 1870 to $50 bushels per
acre.-American Agriculturist.

Plants as SubsOilers.

There are some silent subscribers
that do their work with ease, and, in
their way, as effectually as any team
or pillow ever hitched, though on some
lands the use of subsoil pillow is
essential to the best beginning of such
work. The clover plant is rightly
famed as one of these, and alfalfa is
its superior. Its roots work Sunday as
well as Saturday, night and day; they
strike five, ten, fifteen or twenty feet
deep, making innumerable perfora-
tions, while storing up nitrogen, and
when these roots decay they leave not
only generous crop but millions of
openings into which the air and rains
Of heaven find their way, and help to
constitute an unfailing reservoir of
wealth, upon which the husbandman
can draw with little fear of protest or

Practical Advantages of Good Roads
StriiSingly Set Forth.
The practical advantages of good
roads are strikiugly set forth by
writer in Lippincott's Magazine. the
vicinity of Moorestown in New Jersey,
being selected as an illustration. This
is in Burlington county, ten miles from
Philadelphia Radiating from Moores-
town are twenty-four miles of good
macadamized roads, built by an issue
of town bonds and by means of the
state aid law of 1891 Before these
roads were constructed real estate in
the neigh borhood of Moorestown was
absolutely dead since they were built
it is much in request, and near the
town almost city prices have been paid
for land. The contrast in this respect
between Moorestown and other towns
possessing equal natural advantages is
great. Furthermore, instead Of four
horse wagons built to carry so e
bushel baskets, farmers thereabouto
now use two-horse wagons carrying
1875 baskets of the same size. Argu-
ments of this kind cannot fail to make
an impression on the minds of people
in all farming communities just the
same results as at Mooreotown might
not follow everywhere, but something
experimenting to them surely would,
If good roads were provided. The long
and short of the matter Is that good
roads pay This is now matter Of alb
solute demonstration.-N Y. Tribune.

II we want to make our farms self.
sustaining we must keep more cows
and less steers and other stock, as the
cows pay for their keep and leave a
fair profit. while it costs as much to
raise two steers as we can get for three
il we sell to the butchers. Therefore,
should advise farmers to keep cows,
make butter and feed the milk to pigs.
Butter always brings fair price, with
the least change in price, during all Of
the panic times we have had. Butter
is the only farm product that has not
been down to ruinous prices. There
fore, let us keep all of the good cows
that we can get fodder for. This can
be grown right at home on the farm In
the form of grain crops, ensilage, with
all of the grain, such as wheat, barley
and oats, that it is possible to raise,

"Roads are the connecting links that
bind communities together in unity of
spirit They are the ways by which
men have advanced and will ever ad-
vance who wish to leave some worthy
memorial to posterity." = Fudge
Roads are roads, and the majority of
them mighty mean ones. They may
be the connecting links, but if all the
links of life were of like character
the connection wouldn't amount to
much, and would be mud at that.
Roads are like communities, and are
what the people make them. True,

Its Value as Fruit Is just Beginning to
BE Appreciated.
With many farmers the ground cher
ry is classed among the weeds, as it
grows wild in many parts of the central
and western states Its value as a
frnit has not been generally appre-
ciated and until the past few years it
was seldom seen in cultivation. An
improved variety is now finding its
way in our sediments catalogues, and
there.is no doubt that it will grow rap

ground cherry has proven itself worthy
OF place in the garden. The plant is
quite hardy, and will thrive on any
soil where potatoes will grow. The
fruit when the husk has been removed
is handsome yellow cherry of about
three-fourths of an inch in diameter.

NEW JERSEYS ROADS.

Many Miles Were Macadamized Under
the Township Bonding Act.
Before state or county aid was ex-
tended for the construction of stone
roads in New Jersey the farmers of
Chester, Burlington county, got the
notion they would bankrupt them
selves if they put down macadam roads.
Two citizens knew differently and Of
tered to build the roads for So, 400 per
mile. Farmers believed stone roads
would cost So, 200 or $1,000 per mile.
Finally the town was bonded for S40,-
600 for 10 miles of roads. To carry
the election in favor of bonding, out
wing roads were included, making
~ miles. The two citizens brought
the stone by rail many miles, carted it
overland in wagons, took as salary
81, 900 for the four months job, returned
S225 to the town treasury and built
the 1lH miles of road. The cost was
So, AGO per mile, and all the stone hauled
long distances, the biggest item of
cost. These roads were built 8
years ago and have not been repaired
since except to be rolled each spring
by ton horse roller. The bonds
are paid at the rate of $1,000 per year
and the burden of taxation is insignifi-
cant. Nearly all the farmers use mar
row tire wagons, although engineers
say they should use wide tires. A load
or tons, including weight of wagon,
is common The builder recommended
an expenditure of $50 per year on each
mile, but to-day with narrow tires and
heavy loads there is no perceptible
evidence of wear.-Bulletin 9, Office Of
