BROAD TIRES NEEDED.
They Mean Great Saving, Both OF
labor and Money.

The movement in favor of good roads
which has at last really begun to agi-
tate rural communities all over the
country involves many contributory is
sues of considerable Importance. For
instance, associations which have I'M
dertaken the task of improving the
country roads are generally advising
farmers to make use of broad tires
upon their wagon wheels, instead of
the narrow tires which cut and rut a
soft road so deeply.
1t is not easy to induce the farmers
to follow this advice, because it i'm
plies and requires at the outset the re-
pairing of the road, Broad-tired wag
ons could make little or no progress
over some of the muddy and rough
roads which are too often found not far
from the busiest and most thriving
cities. Narrow wheels cut their way
through more easily, but only at the
cost of exhausting the horses which
draw the wagon, and of still further in
juring the road as thoroughfare.
If the highway could but be improved
sufficiently to bear the heavy tires, the
wheels would act like miniature road
roller and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead of tearing it to
pieces.
As an immediate result, access to
markets would be made much riore
easy, draught animals would gain il ef-
ficiency and length of service, and 1t
would be possible to transport larger
leads with greater ease and conven-
fence than is the case at present.
The farmers and the rural communi.
ties which they control hesitate to take
the first step because of the immediate
expense involved. 1t ought not to BE-
hard TO convince so intelligent a portion
of the community that real economy,
both of labor and money, would be
gained by improved roadbeds and the
use OF broader tires.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Good Way to Amusc and Instruct
the Children.

A Good Way to Amusc and Instruct
the Children.
The primary school is not the only
place nowadays where busy work" is
employed to keep hands and brains out
of mischief. The wise mother knows
that her little ones must be given some
thing to do, and she catches at every
device for employing the time and also
for training the intellect.
All children love to cut paper, and
this fact is full of suggestions. Let all
papers and old books containing pic
lures be carefully saved. Get the child
a pair of small, blunt scissors and
teach him to cut out pictures well, with
margins and names preserved. This in
itself is a valuable lesson in neatness,
and the little pupil also learns to hoard
up articles which in many homes are
consigned to the waste basket. A shoe
box will serve nicely as a receptacle for
these pictures.
Now take a tablet of good heavy
paper, if possible ten inches in length
by six in width. Unfasten the leaves
and fold them in pairs crossways. Sew
these inside a strong manila cover Gu.
the same size. (The unlettered parts
of a clean -four sack make good COW
ers.) Pretty little books containing
ten pages are thus made, and if sewn
with bright-colored silk or worsted
-. .x.nIo et;Il ,,,nra n re pfiya
Supply the child with smooth paste
and small brush, and teach him TO
use them neatly. Show him the impor'
lance of placing the picture straight,
and exactly in the middle of the page
He knows more about playing than
anything else, therefore let his first
book be play book" Decorate the
cover fancifully (rather let him do il
under your direction) and print the
name and that of the owner in ink
Allow him to exercise his taste and
Judgment in selecting the prettiest and
most effective illustrations; talking
them over as they are pasted in, and
afterward, may inculcate many i'm
portant lessons.
Next "work book" may be made oil
pictures showing children engaged in
any occupation. Naturally follows a
"rest book" and valuable lessons in i'm
portance of sleep and quiet. An lex
ercise book" may also be made.
BY this time the little worker has
become quite proficient in classifying
pictures. Let him make books illus
trating the three Kingdoms. Provide
him with an old geography or two, and
he will soon have little volumes illus
trating occupations of men, queer peo
pie, queer babies, odd vehicles, bridges
etc. If he visits menagerie or show
he may make book containing pic
lures of the animals he saw.-Washing

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
Always select trees with a smootl

Always select trees with a smooth
healthy looking bark.
The time to shape the heads of treea
IL while they are growing.
Use the suds from the wash tubs as
fertilizer in the orchard.
Cut out all of the old cpnes from
among the raspberries now.
Proper thinning of the fruit gives II
. better opportunity to develop.
Use hardwood ashes literally among
the small fruits and in the garden.
Now is good time to check growth
by pinching back the terminal buds.
All wood that Is more than two years
old should be cut out of the gooseber-
ries.
Sort all fruit to be sent to market
carefully, and in this way increase its
value.
Prune out all useless shoots in young
fruit trees before the growth is com.
pleted.
Before setting out strawberry plants
be sure that the soil is worked into a
fine filth.
Late cultivation is often detrimental
by not allowing time for the new wood
to ripen.
One objection to too low training in
the orchard is that it intereferes with
the cultivation.
Good growth now practically deter.
mines the value of bearing canes and
vines next season.
A good mulch properly applied keeps
down weeds and renders the soil loose
moist and porous.
When fruit is thinned the parent PLAN
is exhausted far less than when all il
allowed to remain.
Every farm should have an orchard
for home use, proportional to the ne
cessities Of the family.
One advantage in selecting a reason
ably dry soil for an orchard is that Il
permits of deeper setting.
The safest way to get rid of orang,
rust in raspberries is TO dig out every
affected plant and burn it.
Small and inferior berries are otter
the result of letting the vine get too
thickly matted in the rows.
If fruit trees are kept carefully
trimmed from the beginning they may
easily be given the desired form.
The orchard can be made to serve tw,
purposes-the production of fruit ant
as range and feeding ground for poul
try.
Apples should be picked as soon al
ripe. If there is delay the apples will
fall off and more or less of the crop will
be lost.
Coal ashes applied literally aroun,
the fruit trees will not only act as
mulch, but will help to keep away in
sect pests.

A WRONG IMPRESSION.
Dad Roads Arc of No Real benefit tn
Any Living Man.

Any Living Man.
1t has been urged by some that farm
ers living near the city are benefited
by bad roads in the more distant dis
tricts, because they can manage TO get
to town and realize higher price for
their produce, while those living farther
away are unable to reach the market.
With similar fallacy it has been stated
that the country merchant is benefited
by bad roads because the neighboring
farmers are compelled to sell to them
and take their goods In exchange.
The increased value that good roads
bring to farmers estate will more
than recompense him for what he con.
siders loss in the price Of his produce,
and in addition he reaps the advantage
of purchasing his necessities at lower
price. 1t is the complete and free inter-
change of commodities within our own
borders which brings the greatest good

She's Coming Home.

The summer girl is coming home,
All Drowned and plump and rosy,
Prepared to make the winter seem
Extremely nice and cozy.
She's bathed. and danced. and walked, ant
smiled,
And read book and firted,
TIL to the young man she has left
The whole world seems deserted
The flush of health is In her cheeks,
With fun her eyes are dancing;
The flush of conquest in her heart
Makes life seem more enhancing.
All! soon she'll be the winter girl,
And we shall bow before her,
For she was made to be adored,
And. therefore-we adore her.
