ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

One item in renovating an old orchard
is to provide good drainage.
Generally grapes give good return
for the land and labor required to grow
them.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer for
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
grapes.
Many injurious insects winter among
the dead leaves and branches. The
safest plan is to gather up and burn
them.
On warm soiAs the buds of fruit trees
often start early and are liable to bc
nipped by frost. Mulching heavily in
the fall or carry winter will largely pre-
vent this.
1t is not best to dig the hole for the
tree any deeper than the tree is to be
planted. otherwise It will stand in a
puddle of water.-St. Louis Republic.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
WORKING THE ROADS.

Farmers Can We'll AFFORD TO Devote Their
Time to This Task.
Much has been said and written about
country roads and the proper way to
construct them to insure good ones the
year round. But much of 1t applies only
where gravel or crushed stone can be
obtained with which to make road
bed unaffected by rains and standing
water. In many sections of the coun-
try gravel can be had by hauling it
from creek and river beds, and where it
can be so obtained or purchased at q
low figure the best possible use of time
and money is in securing and spread
ing this upon read bed previously
graded into the proper form. If the
gravel is dumped upon perfectly fiat
surface it becomes mixed with the soil
during wet weather and soon is lost.
The first thing to be done is to grade
the road. The crawling or macadamiz-
ing can then be done at leisure. The
upper illustration shows the best form
of the road. The dirt from the bitches
at the sides is carried to the middle
and left in n rounded form, highest in
the center. Care must be taken to make
the sides slope all the way from the
center to the bottom of the bitches.
or the water will stand in the says and
percolate into the roadway, making it
soft and muddy. Make good outlets for
these bitches to carry the water off and
keep the road dry. and also that they
may serve for outlets for tile and for all
other farm drains.
Keep the surface of the road smooth
and free from sods, for those travelling
will not make martyrs of themselves
and bump over the rough places to
wear them down if the sides are smooth.

Washington, Jan. 1.-the arrange
ments for the Inauguration of President
elect Mckinley are progressing in a
manner very satisfactory to the COM
mittee having them in charge, aud it is

event will at least equal in beauty and
lmpressiveness those of any former in
auguration. Gen. Clay, from the COM
mittee ON military organizations, re-
ported that there would be in tie pa
rade one entire division from Penrsvl-
vania, consisting of the governor and
his staff, division and brigade COM
1nanders and their staffs, three regi-
ments of ten companies each, twelve
regiments Of eight companies each. enc
battalion Of four companies. one sepa-
rate company. three troops of cavalry.
two companies of naval militia-in all
5000 men. Maryland will send her en-
tire national guard, and large bodies
of troops are expected from New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts and other states. The cadets
from West Point and from Annapolis
also will be in line, as well as a large
number of crack military organizations
from different parts of the country. Ap-
plications from many civic societies and
clubs for positions are being received,
and this feature of the parade will no
doubt be unusually fine. The inaugural
ball promises to be an exceptionally
brilliant affair.
