Convicts for Road Building.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has issued bulletin on
the subject Of using convicts for
road building. In North Carolina,
the bulletin says, the employment
of convicts for this purpose has
proved exceedingly satisfactory.
The state of New York has tried it,
and SO far as it has gone, is pleased
with the experiment. We have
been urging for years the employ
ment of convicts on the roads; and
if the propos ition had not every
thing to reccomend it, and if it
were not plainly practical, it is
probable that the Legislatures of
the different States would have act
ed fayorably upon it long ago. But
the average Legislature appears to
hate to do anything that is recon-
mended by common sense In
every State there is an army of con
victs, and their employment is a
bone of contention. But every
State has thousands of miles of road
that need improving. The labor
agitators will not do this work;
mechanics will not do it, and even
the common laborers of our towns
and cities will not do it, without
bankrupting themselves Here is
class of work that nobody wants
to touch. Why not turn the con-
victs on it? Why not furnish the
stone and machinery and permit
the criminals to do something that
will amount to something and yet
not come into competition with the
outside world.

Keeping the soil Mellow

1t is quite a difficult matter to
tell where the efficacy of the "earth
mulch" demonstrates it's usefulness
and dispensability to the greatest
extent in the garden, the field or
the orchard. The facts in the case
are that tits equally useful, equally
beneficial and equally indispensable
in the one as the other. Ia the for
nation Of the "earth mulch" or
"blanket' Of loose earth, how deep
should this thoroughly fine and
pulverized soil extend in order to
best results? "Three inches" is the
decision Of Prof. r. H. King, of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station,
than whom there is no better au-
thurity in this whole country, as
that gentleman has for years de-

They Lack Persistence

Many amateur growers plant
trees with enthusiasm and then
grow discouraged over borers and
rabbits; over spraying and pruning;
over curculio and knots and lice
and mice and grubs. They are the
growers who will never glut the
markets. They are great help to
the nurseries and give the progress
i've orchardist a chance to sell his
superior proIucts.

FARM Notes.
orchard and Garden.

Forcing tree to bear before It's
time enfeebles the tree.
Seed grown on very rich soil are
apt to be late in ripening.
In commercial orchard plant
but few Summer or Fall varieties
Of apples.
Fruit to arrive in market in good
condition should be handled as lit
tie as possible.
The foundation of next years
fruit crop, both of small and tree
fruits, is laid now.
Low headed trees shelter body
and limbs from the sun, preventing
frost, blight and sun scald.
Good trees for all purposes can
be obtained by using only the first
and second cuts from the root.
Free space for the roots to work
in and plenty of fertilizing material
to feed upon will materially assist
in forming perfect fruit.
With nearly all fruits no cultiv-
alton should be given this month.
Give the new growth of wood plenty
of time to mature before Fall.
IF the condition of the soil as re-
CARDS moisture will admit, August
is good time to set out strawberry
plants. The soil should be prepared
in good filth.
Apples that drop off and are in
tested with Goblin worms should be
fed to stock, apple and peach tree
borers be hunted up and killed and
nests Of Fall web-worms be destroy
ed.
Peaches for market should be
picked at such stage of ripeness
that they will only begin to be fit
for use when they reach the market
where they are to be sold.
The latter part of July and the
first part of August is the best time
for killing sprouts. If care is taken
to keep them cnt down at this time
very few of them will come up again.
All kinds of pears are of better
quality if they are house-ripened.
Many varieties that are practically
worthless, if allowed to ripen on the
tree, are among the finest when
ripened in the house.
Pears should be gathered as soon
as full growth is reached. The right
stage is easily determined by the
readiness of the stem to separate
from the twig, when the pear is
gently raised upward.
Wormy apples are largely caused
by the larva of the Goblin moth.
The eggs are laid in the blossom
end of the frnit. They soon hatch,
and the worm eats its way in until
it reaches the core. Then the fruit
ripens prematurely and falls to the
ground. One good way to destroy
them is to gather up al fallen fruit
and feed it to stock, or allow the
hogs or sheep the run of the orchard.
The best and most economical
plan of growing Strawberries is in
long rows, far enough apart to adj
NIT of giving the greater part of the
necessary cultivation with the horse
cultivator Plant in rows fully
three feet apart, and set the plants
one foot apart in the rows. Then
keep the rows about one foot wide,
and cultivate the other two feet
thoroughly.

to get done laying by" often costs
our soil tillers at least half crop.
Those who ridicule the razor
back" hog of the South are guilty
of keeping cows that compare as
unfavorably with the pure breeds
as the razor back hog does with the
Berkshire or Chester White.
1t is said that charcoal will alb
sorb so per cent. of its bulk in am
moniacal gas, hence if used freely
over compost heaps it not only pre-
vents unpleasant odors, but renders
the compost more valuable by re-
tanning the ammonia which would
otherwise pass off.
The striped cucumber beetle at
tacks cucum bers, melons, squashes
and pumpkins, and is not easily
destroyed. Spray the vines with a
solution made by dissolving a gill
of saltpeter in a gallon of water,
and then apply fine tobacco dust
around the base Of the vines.
The quality of corn fodder is al
most unlimited, but it is criminal to
waste any of it, as has been the
woeful fashion. Cut up, shielded
and baled it keeps green and sweet.
and is rich, nutritious food; it, in
this shape, promises to be an inn
portant item of food in the future.
Whale oil soap is something that
should be kept in a convenient
place for use on house plants. The
well known mealy bug is destroyed
by solution of whale oil soap, if
it is sprinkled on the plants, and it
is also an excellent preventive of
lice on animals. Being cheap as
we'll as harmless to plants as well
as harmless to plants and animals,
it should be used as often as desir-
able.
1t looks as though the future Of
fered excellent inducements for
meat products, not only in the form
of beef, but also of pork, mrtton
and poultry. 1t is an excellent
opening for profit; and, as stock
raising affords a home market for
much that is grown on the farm,
there is something gained in that
respect, while more manure and in
creased fertility of the soil will re-
suit from the keeping of stock.
The poorest farm can be made
fertile without manure or fertilizer,
if time is no objection, for nature
slowly restores all soils, as has been
demonstrated by the fallow system
of resting the land. This can be
done more speedily, however, by
growing something to turn under.
Of course, the true remedy is ma
nure and fertilizers, but if they are
insufficient, keep the land covered
with something, if only scant herb
age.
Nearly all of the most successful
farmers are those who make spec

are the ones who get rid of mort

Scandal i'm Iowa.

Des M0incs. Iowa. Nov. 16.-The
state executive council has discovered
what promises to develop into one Of
the biggest scandals ever known in
Iowa official circles. Under the laws
insane patients who cannot pay for
support in state hospitals must be
cared for by the counties from which
they are sent IL they have a residence
IN the counties. Patients who have no
residence are cared for at the states
expense. Investigation has developed
the fact that insane from Illinois coun-
ties adjoining Scott county, In Iowa
have been sent over to Iowa and taken
to Iowa asylums as state patients by
Scott county officials. The council de-
clares this has been going on for a
long time in other border counties as
well as In Scott county officials reaping
a rich harvest in fees and mulucting
the state. A thorough investigation
will he made.
