improvement IL very popular among
farmers, who seem to think that thew
will get good roads in this way with
out any trouble or expense to them
selves. But even if expensive roadbeds
were constructed they would soon be
ruined unless the use of narrow tires
was prohibited.
1t seems to me, therefore, that the
first thing that should be done is to
enact state or county laws compelling
the use of tires at least four inches wide
on all wagons designed to carry a ton
or more that are used on our public
highways. After this is done we can
go ahead and make all the improve
ments we can afford to, with the as
surance that the work we do will not
be rendered useless within few years.
Objection is often made to the use of
wide tires that they will not run in the
ruts, and therefore make the wagon
rVn hard. But if all wagons had wide
tires there would not be any ruts. A
wagon built with tires wide enough
to keep the wheels from cutting into
the road will obviously draw more
easily than one that plows through the
mud, instead of running over it.
In England this use of wide tires has
been general for a great many years,
end to this fact is largely due the mag
nificent condition of the roads there.
Why are we so slow to adopt this easy
and cheap method of improving our
roads?
Let us get out of the rut," and here
after roll over smooth roads on wide
tires.

two thin strips of hardwood, the point
of union being determined by trial
to show how much the thumb and fore
finger will have to spread to open the
blades sufficiently to receive plant and
a goodly bit of earth about its roots.
With this tool held as one holds pair
of shears, the blades can be showed
down about plant, little pressure ap-
piled, and the plant lifted without dis
turbing the roots. 1t then can be set

ding lengthwise, say ~ inches from each

each boy is presented with a suit of
clothes and a pair of boots, each girl
with dress and pair of shoes. When
1T comes October, if the April boots are
'yorn out and poverty prevents the
youngster from having another pair,
Lord Rothschild sees to it that the want
is supplied. In connection with this
school there is savings bank depart
ment. The interest allowed on depos-
its is ten per cent. per annum, although
the amount of individual savings on
which this interest is paid is not to eX-
coed five pounds. The teachers in the
school may also avail themselves of the
benefit of the bank, but the maximum
individual savings in this instance arc
limited to els per annum.
