How to Mate Use OF Wines ON Trelais
Above Berry Bushes.
Red raspberries, currsnts and goose
berries are often greatly benefited by
shade from the hot sun in the middle
Of the day. Orchards and trees afford
shade to q certain extent, but, not al
ways when and where needed. Part
will be shaded when the sun is most
needed. To remedy this, I should ar
range to shade in the middle OF the day
by the. use of grapevines on trellis
above the bushes, as shown In the IL
Illustration. Set the rows of bushes six
feet apart, and set grapevines in the
rows eight to ten feet apart. These
can be supported by stakes with an
arm two feet long, placed to hold three
wires to support the ones above the
bushes This gives shade in the mid
die of the day, and sun in the morning
and afternoon, and possibly a crop OF
grapes when the bushes fail to pro-
duce. ,.E- H.. - W g,
This shade is great benefit to red

and fall to the ground before ripe.

Apples for the Complexion.

Helen Campbell fays: "A modern
scoffer has lately written that the
reason Eve yielded to the serpent was
because apples were good for the com
plexion, and he told her SO. Whether
the argument was needed or not, it is
q true one. Nothing in all our varied
and fascinating range of fruits holds
quite the quality Of an apple. "A ripe,
raw apple, at it's best, is digesteI in
eighty-iye minutes, and the malic
acid which gives it's distinctive char
acter, stimulates the liver, assists di-
gestion and neutralizes much noxious
matter, which, if not eliminated, pro-
duces eruptions Of the skin. They do
not satisfy like potatoes, complain
people to whom they have been rec
commended as food, but the starch Of
the potato, added to the surplus starch
we are always eating, makes the veg
etable a thoroughly undesirable stand
by. The more fruit we add 60 our
dietary the clearer brains and the
clearer skin we are likely to have" +.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

The Employment Of Convicts IN the Con-.
=. straction of State Roads. NJ.
A correspondent of the San Antonio
Express calls. attention to two ques-
tions of supreme public Importance
pressing for solution at the present
time in Texas. @
One Of these questions is How to
obtain good roads" and the other
Chow to employ convict labor" and
to his mind the second question sug-
gests the answer to the first. He
takes the view which the Post has long
and persistently urged, that honest la
Dor should not be compelled to COM,
pete in any line with convicts, and
that some means should be found for
employing their services which would
make them pay for their keep, which
should not be open to the objection
which honest labor properly urges.
The necessity for improved public
highways is everywhere apparent. and
the problem of how to provide them
has engaged public attention as one
difficult Of solution. The counties. and
local communities have tried In
a feeble way to improve roads,
and it must be admitted 4 that IN
some instances they have accomplished
a good deal, but the means at their
command have not been sufficient to
enable them to moro than make a, start
in the desired direction. The entire
state needs a better system of roads.
and to what better use could the CON
victs be put than in Supplying this
need? OF course a plan could be de-
vised by which the sections.of the state
directly benefited would &c required to
rciannerate the state fer the use Of the
convict labor, SO that those localities
soonest to appreciate and secure tho
needed road improvements would have
the first benefits, and the state convicts
would be constantly employed in use
full labor that would>be Of the utmost.
benefit to the whole people OF the /,
state without in any degree conflicting
with honest labor. As the Express cor
respondent suggests, the question
should be agitated by the press until
the legislature is forced TO take some
actionin regard to it or ut least give II

HORTICULTURAL NOTES. !.

THE pecan will come into bearing in
about eight years. The hickory re-
quires somewh at longer time. I.
ONE who knows writes that the
hickory will grow readily if planted
in the fall, and, contrary to the gen
eral opinion, will grow when four years
old after being in a box in a drawer. all
that time.
+ DR.. MILLER says that walnuts grow
about as freely as sound corn grains.
Simply, cover in the fall an inch or
two deep. These should be planted
where the tree is to stay, as they soon
get SO large that they are unwieldy
and not so sure to grow. .
y CANA1eRE culture, we think, is bound
to grow to considerable volume and
Importance in this country. We have
no doubt that it can be grown success
fully on any sandy soil that has enough
moisture, and we SEQ that it is stated
that it can be grown on heavy soils.

now to p,ans Apple Trees.

There isadeplorable tendency among
apple orchard planters to set the trees
too close together. Numerous or
chards, just coming into bearing, have
their trees only twenty-five and twen-
ty-four feet apart, with limbs almost
interlocking, While thus young. The
smallest limit should be two rods, or
thirty three feet, thirty-fve feet would
be better, and thirty-eight or forty still
better. When the trees get large and
their limbs meet passage through the
orchard with horses is INSTRUCTED, as
well as cultivation. Further, the
ground so densely shaded becomes sour

inch and one and one-haH inch tires res
spectively on, block pavement, good,
hard, sandy road, good level, gravel
road, and in each soft and deep mud. .
The conclusions arrived at by the
committee were:
l. On hard roads, block pavements
and other permanent and substantial
roads there is no argument, SO far as.
actual draft Is concerned, in favor Of
the wide tire, the effect being rather
against The wide tire.
2. In their effect upon hard roads the
wide tires have the advantage, and that,
this benefit is not sufficiently appre-5
ciated by turnpike and macadam road
companies. = -. ss.s
3. In soft mud, slush, and under sim
liar circumstances, under which even
the wide tire cuts in, the advantage Is
against the wide tire and in favor of
the narrow.
4. On soft sod and soft ground, where!
the wide tire does not cut in and the
narrow does, the advantage is on the.
side Of the wide tire. ss t tn. .5.s
S. In loading a team a draft of $50
pounds steadily applied is as much as
should be expected for days work.
and that on soft sod this may mean,
when :dead-pull has to be taken, an
increase in the draft of 1900 pounds.
6. The difference in the latter case
between the regular draft Of $50
pounds and the increase Of 1900 pounds
is equivalent to an addition Of two
tons $50 pounds to the load. .,4; s5..
z. Or, in other words, the draft Of
the load being $50 pounds may be con-
sidered as equivalent to load Of two
tons $50 pounds, and the difference
from the steady draft of the load in
fair motion, and that of the same load
started at dead-pull, is equivalent to
doubling the load. Iss
The committee closed their report
with: 1--WE advocate wide tire for
farms, and narrow tire for good roads
and pavements.'
4 Experiments at the Utah expert
ment station demonstrated that e.
given load on * inch tire drew 41.d
per cent: heavier than when on q s.
inch tire, the draft being on 9 fairly
stiff grass sod; on q moist but hard
road the TX inch tire drew 1871 per
cent. heavier than the 3-inch.
An authority upon the subject of the
effect Of wide tire says: I'm New
York state the experiment was made,
Of using wide tires on a road about
miles long leading to stone quarry.
The heavy wagons used thereon were
equipped with. rear. wheels having
tires inches wide, and forward wheels
having tires inches wide, the forward
wheels tracking just inside the rear
wheels. Each wagon was thus trans
formed into roller covering 20 inches
in width every time it passed along.
Smaller wagons were equipped with
wheels similar in principle. The road.
which formerly rutted necessarily and
deeply, was covered with stone chips,
which these wagons soon rolled into a
hard mass The. road now supports
loads Of from 5000 to 10000 pounds.
and consequently has hard, compact,
and regular surface. The cost of haul
ing loads over this road in reduced
about 20 per cent" -
