About Road Reform.

Everybody in the State IL Enthusiastic
About Road Reform.
II is pretty well settled that "good
-oadE" will be a rallying cry in Wiscon-
sin until good roads come in each Of
the counties. The prejudice that for
some time has divided the farming ele-
ment and Wisconsin's army of more
than 1o0. 900 wheelmen and wheelwom-
en-, greater number of people than
any general, north or south, led into a
battle, Is rapidly disappearing, IL it
has NOT already disappeared. Two or
three years ago the farmers allowed
themselves TO believe that the good
roads agitation was wholly in the in
terest of the wheelmen, and that the
burden of providing them would fail
upon the farmers shoulders. That
idea has exploded. While the farmers
know that good roads mean increased
comfort and pleasure for those who
ride the wheel, they have come to un-
derstand that good roads mean more
than that TO them; that they not only
mean pleasure and comfort for them
but high degree of proft-proft in
time saved; profit in vastly larger
loads while marketing their products:
profit In saved horse flesh; profit in a
large increase in the value of their
farms. They have come 10 realize that
good roads are cheap roads, the cheap
est that the farmer can have. They
have only to point 90 here and there
patches of good road that have needed
no attention, in some instances, for a
quarter of a century.
IL is safe TO say, now, that the cry for
good roads is as heartily entered into
by the farmers of Wisconsin as il is by
the wbeelmen. The press of the state
is a unit in favor OF good roads and its
columns are open for their advocacy.
Politicians have noted the turn of the
tide. The best men of the professions
are in the good roads procession. This
is notably true of the teachers and
preachers, most of whom are users OF
the wheel as means of grace, pleasure
and promoter OF health.
At recent banquet the superintend-
ent of the farmers institutes. Prof. Me-
Kerrow, declared that in each of the 10
Institutes 10 be held the coming winter
the question of good roads would be
given close attention. 1t will be dis
russed in all of the teachers Institutes.
II will be the subject for discussion by
cebating clubs, including those con
nected with the high and district
schools. There is not a man of prom
inence in the state, in Office or out Of
Office. who Is not pronounced in favor Of
good roads.

ASS result OF the congressional laws
affecting the manufacture OF filed
cheese tho figures on file In the Chicago
internal revenue Office indicates that
hardly ten per cent of the former bust
ness is now being done. The year pre-
vious TO September 1. when the act of
congress went into effect, $1,000 900
pounds were made, yielding a revenue
OF S1,0ca.000 and keeping 80 factories

ated, and since September three fac
tories have qualified to Collector Mize.

WASTE OF VAST WEALTH.
Why Farmers should Make Liberal Out
lays for Good Roads.

lays for Good Roads.
The national good roads congress
will hold its next yearly session at Or
lando, Fla. This is somewhat remote
from the path of commerce, but never
theless the place of meeting may be
well chosen. Good roads are neces-
sity in all states. and the aggregate of
good TO the republic cannot be attained
until in all parts of the country all high
ways are fit for travel by heavily laden
wagons at all times of the year.
lt Is possible that the interest of the
farming people in good roads has been
retarded of expression by continual
prcuchment of the advantages that BIZ
cycle riders and pleasure seekers on
horseback or IN vehicles will derive
from improved highways. These.
though important, are secondary cor
sidcrations.
The loss to the United States by bad
roads is estimated at from $20O,000,0OO
20 $30O,0O0,000 year. II is loss
caused by enforced idleness during
many months of the year, and by the
employment of needless horse power
during most months. In the spring aud
summer the farmer can find work In
plerty on his farm. In the fall and
winter he ought TO be able TO haul hay.
grain, wood, and other material TO mar
ket- IL is in these seasons that, as n
rule, he can obtain the highest prices
for his products and IL Is in these seasons
that he can market them without TAX
ing time that ought 10 be used in the
work Of blowing, sowing and harvest
ing. But II Is in these seasons that ne
81 forced 20 be idle, or TO haul half
load with four horses, instead OF full
load with two, because OF the wretched
or impossible condition Of the roads.
10 is strange that n class OF men so
frugal and SO wisely economic in most
expenditures has hesitatcd TO make lib
erai OUTLAWS for road improvement. No
farmer is foolish enough TO grumblc ut
an outlay OF 500 or $3.50 for good NOW
ers and reapcrs, for IL is known that the
difference between $3.50 on n reaper and
So on n scythe or ''cradlc" is soon com
pensated by saving on wages. But an
outlay Of 5000 on each farm for good
roads In looked upon by many as eN-
travngant. though II that amount were
levied as tax upon every 100 acres, and
wisely expended. there would be an int
provcment amounting 20 a favorable
revolution in farm life within the next
few years.-ChIcago Inter Ocean.

How to Perform the Operation and How
To Plant tho Crafts.


The common apple is grown almost
entirely by what is termed root-graft-
ing, although IL may be grown by bud
ding and clcft-grafting. Root-graft-
ing is done during winter as fol-
lows:
Seedlings which are dug in autumn,
and packed in moss or sawdust in cold
cellar, are taken as needed TO warm
room and the scions grated upon them
just below the collar; that is, the place
where the root and the top are joined.
The kind of graft made is here Illus
trnted, showing the successive stages
of the work. A shows a Seeding apple
root with top removed. which Is to be
cut off and grated at the oross-line;
ID shows scion; c, scion and stock COM

knife blade, and no wood is removed
from IL. ID, the same united; +, the
union wrapped with strip of paper
or cloth, which has previously been
covered with grating wax. Some pre-
fer waxed strings on this covering. The
grafts should be about eightinchesl long.
When completed they should be tied in
bundles and put away, packed very
firmly in sand or light soil, in n cold cell
lar. A cave is best for this purpose.
Early in the spring they should be
planted in the nursery, about six inches
apart, in rows three apart, setting al!
but the upper bud of the scion below
the surface of the ground. 1t is impor-
tant 10 plant the scion deep, so as TO en-
courage II TO throw out roots, as the trees
are then more hardy than when they
depend entirely upon the Seeding root
for support. Great care should be taken
TO have the soil very firm and solid
around the base of the root and at the
union. This may be secured in several
wsys. Some nurserymen attain this
end by the use of a large dibber, hav-
ing guard on the side TO prevent its
going too deep. With this hole id
made sufficiently wide and deep TO per-
nit the insertion OF the graft easily so
that not more than one or two buds
project above the ground. To do this
work most expeditiously the CRAFTS
should be OF the same length and free
from side branches.
Two persons should work together

who carries the CRAFTS. The man

MINIMUM and Other Motor.

In days long ago. and when many o,

ployed was obtained from windmills

wind power has been allowed TO go &c
waste. Recently, however. attention
has been drawn to the value OF this
motor In our garden operations. We
frequently find, In climates where rains
are in n measure irregular, that the flow
OF water at our hands would be desir-
able. and windmills are just the thing
for getting this remedy 60 our hands
In like manner, motors may be con-
structcd by the aid OF currents OF wa
ter flowing through our gardens, and
in many other ways we might avail
ourselves of the motive forces OF M
ture which we find everywhere around
us and going 10 waste. Very much
more might be accomplished In this line
than we have already exprcssed.-Mee-
