HOWL FROM MICHIGAN.


This Man Pleads Eloquently for substan-
tial travel Roads.
] want to make a small howl in re-
gard to road-making. do not suppose
it will do any good. but it will relieve
my mind. This, as we all know, is the
season for the farmer to go out with the
new road machine and scrape the sod
along the side of the road into the mid
die of the same and call it road.
1t Is very nice for few weeks, and
then comes little rut here and an
other there, SO that by the time the
winter sets in we have a muddy, rutty
road to ride over. And il is not few
rods, either. for road district can do a
mile or two of it in the time required
10 work on the road" Now, why can
not they work, say, 20 or 30 rods with
the road machine, make good, wide
roadbed, and then draw on good gravel,
not sand? Almost every district has
a bank of gravel within its limits. If
not on the road, go back on the farm.
If the farmer is a good, generous,
free-hearted man he will give it to his
own district. If not. cancel his road
work for the gravel. He certainly
should be willing to do that. 1t is a

you can get great deal more done. Oh
course. it is hard to do so. but once get
your district in that habit and they will
think there is no other way.
Perhaps some may think that the
first part of this is all imagination, but

sumo there are others) that has not
drawn enough gravel in two years TO
cover 90 rods of road in good shape Yet
they have scraped and scraped and will
probably continue to scrape.

SETTING FRUIT TREES.
Some Things to BE Considered When
Starting an Orchard.


Starting an Orchard.
Il often proves to be a perplexing
matter where to set an orchard. There
are a great many things to be consid-
cred, and each farmer must do this for
himself. All that anyone else can do is
te give some of the leading principles
upon which success depends. Ii pos
sible, fruit trees should be placed where
they viii be protected by a woods or
hill, but If such cannot be had a wind
break should be supplied Il would use
for a windbreak evergreen trees set in
zigzag rows and but few feet apart.
Avoid placing trees where they viii be
exposed to high winds, or early and
late frosts in the fall or spring. Often
through neglect of this whole orchards
are ruined.
The nature of each variety should be
studied and those that thrive best in
dry soil should be placed on such
ground. and those that require moist
soil should be placed where there is no
liability to drought.
Some farms are not well adapted for
the production of fruit, but can be
greatly helped by manuring, draining
or cultivating. Fruit trees should be
placed as near the house as possible, as
they are more apt to get the proper
care there than If they are at distance.
Care should be taken not to place them
where they will cut off all views of the
farm, and where they viii be in the way
in harvesting your grain. Upon some
farms it seems as though an effort was
made to shut off from view every bit
of landscape and every nice building
within range of human vision, thus
making the home unattractiye.
II your orchard should be along a
public highway. do not place your most
delicious fruit next to the road. as in
that case you will have plenty of help
to gather it. There are people who have
no regard for the rights of property.
1t is time for those wishing to set
trees this fall to order them and select
the places they are to occupy. Always
bear in mind that an old tree requires
more ground than a young one. and
place them accordingly.-M. L. Miller.

ROADS ARE IMPROVING.
Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Bear
Good Fruit.


Good Fruit.
From scores of localities in every
corner of the land comes the cheering
message: Our roads are better than
they have BEEN" And the same thing
holds true of town and city streets
1t is very clear to an intelligent OBJ
server in a position TO broadly view
the field that more and better road
building is being done this year than
has been in any past year.
The agitation for improved highways
has begun to produce practical results
The people are getting their feet on
the ground, and are Undertaking. the
worth of their theories regarding good
roads.
1t is pleasant TO note that the people
everywhere appreciate the many ad-
vantages to be gained from improved
highways. Every mile of good road
makes it easier to secure more of the
same sort The example is contagious.
Even in localities where no work Tor
the betterment of roads has begun,
there has been created a dislike for
mud that will result in its early disap-
pearance.
When the people of community get
sufficiently tired of poor roads they
mend them. a few wheelmen, if they
are live members of the L. A. W., can
so point out the disadvantages of mud
that many others viii unite with them
in working for good roads and clean
streets.
Everybody wants good roads when
their attention is called to the matter.
With some one to act as a leader they
will follow. Pick out just the right
sort of a man. and put him in charge of
your streets and highways, and he viii
make it more of a pleasure and of
greater profit to reside in his neigh
borhood.-L. A. W. Bulletin.

THE GERRY INDUSTRY.

Il

Profitable Only Where the Local Market
Is Fairly Good.
1t is being demonstrated that the
ordinary farmer who has no local
markets for berries cannot make much
money growing them. Shipments to
city markets have been proving very
disappointing. owing to the fact that
many have undertaken to help out
farm incomes by producing from one to
five or more acres of berries, and city
markets are deluged with stock of or
binary quality. Berries must be sent
by express to insure prompt delivery,
and the charges for carriage often APP
pear eNorbitant. Whether this be true
or not, the charges are out of all pro-
portion to the receipts, and when crates,
boxes and picking are paid for out of
the receipts from the commission mer-
chant, not infrequently nothing re-
mains for the grower. Except for ex-
perienced horticulturists, the only safe
market for the berry-grower to-day is
a local one. If there is home demand,
OF if one can be created in a community
or nearby town, berries pay we'll; but
beyond this there is in this branch of
horticulture no outlet for the farmer
who wants to get away from staples-

Gated in the solid benches for use in

ton could be used in a three-bench
greenhouse, in which case two walks
would have to be dug, leaving solid
bed between them. In this case, the
two roofs would have to be supported
by a purlin plate, and uprights. One
can work out the details TO suit his own
circumstances. Where cedar posts
are used as a foundation, it would be
necessary to heavily mulch the ground
just outside the walls to keep the frost
