Some Things That Are Essential TO Per
manent Improvement.
Until we have q radical change in the
system Of highway laws and highway
Management much Improvement would
result in the condition of roads il the
commissioners and overseers would see
to il that the side ditch on the upper
side of the road is opened TO a proper
depth to carry all the water in the
spring and sluices put across at proper
intervals to let the water away from
the road, and especially that the road
bed be made higher than the ditch
and not so wide and nat IA in many
cases they are. Many and many a rod
of road is nothing but mudhole, and all
because Of carelessness in not lowering
the side ditch and raising the roadbed.
Again, many rods Of road are some
times made muddy by not making
water bars across the road TO turn the
water off, and so 1t IL allowed to follow
down the entire slope for long dis
lance. when bar of suitable height
would prevent all and the public would
k better accommodated by few min
un work Of the overseer. But we
hall never have good roads, in the
strict sense Of the term, until the rocks
and stones which now lie dormant
waiting the action of some master mind
are broken into small fragments, and
each year the time now devoted to
working" is utilized In drawing
Plentiful covering of crushed stone.
In other words, when our roads are
macadamized and the water turned off
and kept off. then, and not until then,
will our roads be permanently inn
proved. &C. w. Guernsey, in Orange

me that the best time to cut gratis, II
one does not need any great quantity,
is at the time they are to be inserted,
always provided that the buds are not
too far advanced, in which case they
should be cut In April and preserved in
damp sand or sawdust. For cions, cut
only the last years growth from the
end of bearing branch.
Sawing.-In saving of branch, the
CRATER should bear in mind the future
shape of the tree, and not saw too close
to the trunk, not saw Off branches more
than three inches In diameter, and not
saw one limb above another, 80 that the
growth will interfere. In case of a
heavy branch, which is liable to split
down, saw under few inches above
where you wish TO leave your stub. until
the saw begins to pinch, then saw from
the top at the place selected, and there
will be no splitting. Make smooth,
clean cut
Whittling.-Cions should not exceed
lead pencil in size. Take the twig In
your left hand. and placing the knife at
the side of the bud, draw it toward the
end, the cut terminating at the pith, the
bevel being perfect. Serve the opposite
side in exactly the same way, taking
care that the wedge Is little the thick
est in front. There should be about an

inch Of shank below the lower bud.
Count of three buds and detach, when
your cion will appear as shown on the
right Of Fig. ..
Setting the Cion.-Place the curved
edge of your knife over the end of the
stub, splitting at right angles to the
body of the tree. Split with one blow of
the mallct IL possible, the curved edge
of the knife being calculated to make
clean cut before the bark begins to
tear. Drive out the knife, and, revers-
ing, drive the wedge lightly into the
cleft. Now bear down on the handle
enough to hold the cleft open, insert
your cions 80 that their inner bark will
either match with or cross that of the
stub, leaving the lower bud little
above or on level with the sawed sur
face, and drive-not pull-out your
knife. The cleft ready for insertion Of
the cion is seen in Fig. 2.
Westinghouse your wax about the
consistency of soft putty and your
hands well oiled with fresh lard, so
that IL will not stick. Roll up sufficient
wax to cover the stub, draw the wax
with one motion over the cleft shutting
in the lower bud. Now cover the other
cleft. and II you have used wax enough
to exclude air and moisture success will
be sure.
Grating Wax.-To make n wax that
will not crack in winter nor melt in
summer, melt one part beeswax and
one part tallow together, and five parts
white resin separately; pour together
while hot, stir briskfy and dump into
a tub Of lukewarm water whose sides
and bottom have been previously well
creased with lard. Grease your hands
with the same material and work your
wax until il Is n golden yellow and will

Tho Neck Finish a Distinctive Touch "a
the Fashionable Toilet.
Like the separate waist fashion,
which everyone supposed would quick
ly run it's course and be put aside, but
which fourishes with time and grows
with every season, the fancy to make
the neck and throat trimming the cru
cial point of toilet continues.
1t has come to be quite the seal Of an
artistic dressmaker to create pretty fin
ishes for the neckband of the gown, al
ways, of course, keeping within the sa-
cred realm of the style on which capri
cious fashion has set her hall mark of
the moment. A cluster of ribbon loops
standing up within the band as high
often MS the ears is a very effective fin
fish, II the color selected is harmonious
with the skin tints. The soft frills of
lace iaring up to fall over in grace
full bunch are another becoming and
favorite fashion, and discreety mccall
ing to throats that have begun to lose
the plumpness of youth.
The Straightforward and very full
frills are more used in London than
here, the American woman for some
reason objecting to this arrangement
and refusing to adopt II.
With fichu bodices the throat 10

neck hollows of few seasons ago that
Is seen. AS IL to make up for this con-
cession, the neckbands of tailor-mads

quently accentuate their height with q
little urned-over-all-around collar, on
which the ears rest.
The boa finish, as II Is called, will be
much used for summer gowns, and is .
mass of crinkled or plated tulle chiffon
or lace, arranged in full jabot effect ON
ribbon band. The long-necked wom-
an finds this style Of admirable pur-
pose, but the stout woman whose heed
seems to be fitted upon her collar bones
simply obliterates what little throat
she might have.
For the decollete corsage the almost
always becoming broad black velvet
ribbon is again in vogue.
In addition to the neck finishes
shown, which are apart of the frock bod
ice, the range of separate '.collarettes"

o. senator John O'Donnell, formerly
-s;,road commissioner Of New York,
- devised system of steel-track high
which he hopes to see adopted
;he rural communities Of the country
set-off to high freight rates by rail-
ways.
-.y two steel cutters, each Ave inches
v,,de and half an inch deep, are laid on
,onoitudinal stringpieces and cross
s'ooden ties at "a width OF feet s5 inches
srom center to center. To insure per
s.ct drainage, side channels are con-
Sucted at frequent intervals from these
rutters to the outside Of the road
Mr.. O'Donnell quotes from the De-
..mber bulletin Of the road department
= Washington to show that 313, 349, 227
,ons of farm products were hauled over
,ountry roads in one year at a cost of
r6s, s69, 900, or about "a per cent. of the
,otal value of the products. Nearly
two-thirds of this amount could be
| nyed by good roads.
The following example Is quoted by
Mr.. ODonnell to show the prospective
advantage to- be gained from the use of
steel-track cutters:
AT q point on connecting lateral
,oad with the New York Central, 90
teams in the fall Of the year delivered
20 loads of cheese from the factory 12
miles from the railroad. The average
load was 1000 pounds. 1t took all day
70 deliver the $4,000 pounds of cheese
and return. On q steel-track road that
cheese could have been delivered by one
team in less time and in better condi-
ton, thereby saving 10 teams and 10
men, fairly worth $57. But this Is not
ali. This cheese was shipped to the con-
Meeting point on the Central, 50 miles,
at 20 cents per 100-$64. On a steel
track road three teams would have de-
liyered IL and returned In three days at
$3.50 per day, or $3.50, saving $52.50,
and, II loaded back at the same rate,
the total saving would be sos. The mar
ket price of the cheese at cents per
pound was 1886, and the loss by reason
Of roads and rail charges was over one
third the price obtained"
Mr.. O'Donnell calculates the cost of
making a single steel-gutter track road
at from $4,000 70 $4,000 a mile.

How Deep TO Plan. Seed .

The depth at which seed is planted Is
important, and the smaller the seed the
nearer 1t must be to the surface. If
planted too low then the seed may not
OBTAIN oxygen, or, even assuming that
did, 1t will exhaust It's cotyledon, or
reserve food, before it Is sufficiently
soove ground to live on the atmosphere;
nence it dies. The larger seed contain
ing a greater quantity of store food,
can last longer before exhsusting its
sotyiedon, and so may be planted
ueeper. The smallest seeds, such as
grass seeds, are spread on the surface
VI the land; lager seeds, like mustard,
are sown half an inch deep, and the
uepth will vary with increase of size
