THINNING OUT FRUIT.
Wherever 1t In Done the Trees Arc
Almost Sure to Bear Good
Crops Every Season.

The method employed in some inn
portant fruit growing districts to Sc
cure crop of fruit, such as peaches,
apples, plums, pears, ETC., with uni.
formity every year providing the
flowers are not rendered sterile by
freezing) is to systematically thin out
the young fruit after danger from frost
in the spring, and before the fruit gets
large enough to become a tax ON the
tree. Fruit is seldom produced on the
same spur every year; therefore, in
thinning, they remove all of the fruits
from one spur without injuring it, so
it may produce fruit buds for the next
year, allowing the next spur to bear
of course, discriminating between
promising and poor fruit. Various con-
trivances have been invented for this
work, but they have proved impracti-
cable, for they do not discriminate be-
tween the good and poor fruit, and, be-
sides, often injure or break off spurs.
So thinning has to he done by hand,
and, aside from the great advantage Of
insuring a crop for the following year,
it pays the same season on account of
a far larger proportion of the fruit be-
ing of superior quality and of higher
market value.-Prairie Farmer.

GOOD ROAD SCHEMES.
An Ohio Legislator Has Some Ideas
Which Certainly Are Worthy
of Consideration.

An Ohio state senator with hobby
for good roads, Senator Dodge, has in
troduced a bill to abolish the contract
prison labor and to provide for the EN-
ployment of convict labor in preparing
road material in such manner as not
10 compete with free labor. His plan is
to have the state purchase necessary
plants for the manufacture of suitable
paving brick and suitable steel rails
and macadam for public roads, and use
The necessary convict labor primarily in
manufacturing the material for road
improvement. The product of the pris-
on labor is to be used only for public
road improvement and sold to the au-
thorities at cost. The stone quarries
owned by the state are to be worked in
preparing macadam. The same pro-
visions extend to the intermediate pen
itentiary and the workhouse. Ten per
cent. of the inmates of all the penal in
situations are to be put to work prepar-
ing road material, and $40, 900 is appro-
priated to carry out the plan.
1t would seem that when the convict
labor of state is at work improving
the surface of the planet for the general
public good, no branch of labor is in
jured.
Why shouldn't the convicts of Mime
sofa build us set of magnificent pub
lis highways along the lines of traffic?

BERRY SEEDLINGS.
some Facts which illustrate the
wonderful workings Of Nature I'm
Her Relations to Man.

Each little strawberry seed contains
the elements to produce a plant that
will bear fruit peculiar to itself, when
IL Is grown without restrictions. The
artist in preparing his paint for GER
tain color, puts together little OF one
shade and n little of some other and
mixes them together, each new addi-
ton changes the color So in like man
ner, the Great Artist employs the in
sects to mix together the pollen from
the blossoms Of the various qualities
of the strawberry and to deposit It in
the receptacles or seed tubes of other
blossoms. The mixing of each addi-
ton changes the quality of the prod
uct from that seed.
Watch the busy bee as he flies from
blossom TO blossom till he has visited
hundreds of flowers. Some of these
plants produce fruit that is very acid,
some fruit which is very sweet, some
OF medium quality, and so on through
all the various flavors and from all Of
these he has made a collection and n
deposit TO this mixture. The deposit
may not have been intentional on the
part of the bee, but it has been done.
The next bee may visit other varieties,
and some of the same, each adding to
the variety collected, and it is not
strange that each seed should produce
a product peculiar to itself.
If we take staminate variety and re-
move 1t from all the other varieties and
exclude IL from insects so there shall
be no mixture from the other varieties
when in bloom, the product of that seed
should be like it's parent. For an ex-
ample, we will take the Sharpless
plant. The combination, the makeup,
of that seed from which the first Sharp
less plant grew gave it its distinct char
acter; every root and fiber in that plant
is distinct from all other plants, al.
though that may not be visible to the
eye. We know it by its blossom, color,
or shade of its leaf, manner of growth
of plant, the general shape of its fruit,
color and flavor of same, and its tex
'ture. Remove the plant to any part Of
the world, and its general character
istics will be the same and the seed
from this Sharpless plant will pro-
duce plants and fruit like itself, if we
carry out the principle from which we
started.-S, II. Warren, in American
Gardening,

preparation should be increased to
Si,000,000 in any year the average tax
OIL each $4,000 farm would be only so
cents, which seems a trihing expendi-
ture considering the immeasurable
benefits that accrue to agriculturists
through good highways to the mar
kets.
With such notable example of what
the state can do in the way Of encour-
aging the construction of good high
ways afforded by her neighbor, New
Jersey, the wonder is that New York
did not inaugurate the state aid sys-
tenn long ago. Under the New Jersey
law the state bears onc-third the ex-
pense, the size of the appropriation be-
ing determined by the legislature. I'm
der the stimulus of state aid nearly
every county in the state is now build
ing macadam roads, while there are
already so many miles of stone roads
in the state that it can be travelled in
every direction without leaving them.
Nineteen of the 81 counties of the state
have this year made application for
their shares Of the appropriation.
The action of the New York legisla-
ture is gratifying recognition Of the
fact that state aid is the ultimate So
luton Of the good roads problem

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
STATE AID FOR ROADS.
New York Has Just Pointed out the
Probable Ultimate Solution OF
the Good Roads Problem.


The strongest impetus which the
good loads movement has received in
many years past was the passage by
the New York assembly of the Higbie.
Armstrong good roads bill.
1t Is significant of the rapid growth
OF public sentiment in favor OF state
aid to highway construction that the
opposition Ia the measure could mus
ter only 80 votes. Under this bill the
state appropriation for this year to eS-
pend for highway improvement will be
$4,000, which, it is estimated, will
amount to one cent per $1,000 Of as
sessed valuation, or 2h cents on the
average $500 farm.
The size Of each years appropriation
is fixed by the Legislature, and as the
good results of the law become more
discernble and more generally recog-
nized 1t is not improbable that public
sentiment will demand in a few years
q much larger appropriation. Under
the provisions by which a county is au-
thcrized TO apply for a portion OF the
good roads appropriation the law be-
comes n home rule measure. If the APP

Good Points of KohlraBi

One of the vegetables which every
farmer should grow is kohlrabi, which
in growth and flavor is intermediate be-
tween the turnip or rutabaga and a
cabbage. 1t is hard, like the turnip,
but, like the cabbage, all its valuable
part is above ground. 1t is vegetable
that comes to us from Germany, where
it is grown to large size, and is mainly
used for cattle feeding. But to be fit
for table use it should be sown late in
the spring, when the ground is warm,
and the young growth will be very rap
id. Then it will be sweet and tender
and wholly different from the coarse
kohlrabi sown early, and which has
taken the whole season to grow in. All
roots for table use are best gathered
while young and after growing rapid
~. Most of the roots grow either tough
or dry, or both, late in spring.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

THE TRUE POLICY

The Cubans interpret the presidents
proclamation and General Skaters pol
icy as a tacit avowal of the intentions of
the United States to annex the island,
rather than to grant independence, and
this apprehension Is strengthened by
the growing sentiment In Spain favora-
BILE to that solution Of the problem. The
London Times Madrid correspondent
notes the qualification everywhere ex-
pressed in that city with the dissensions
that have sprung up between the Amer
leans and the natives, and it is not at
cumstance, coupled with the promise of
similar friction with the revolutionists
in the Philippines, is having its influence
upon the ministry In delaying overtures
for peace. "If we must lose Cuba" the
Spaniards now say with substantial &C
cord, 'it is better that the island should
be annexed by America, because the
traitors would thereby be punished, and
the enormous Spanish interests would be
protected"
Two or tnree InOHtIs ceoSdliou VI nus
tilities in Cuba, affording opportunity to
the insurgents for intrigue and the
plague to get in its work, is counted upon
to at least modify the present demands
of the United States, as understood in
Madrid The true policy would seem to
be to follow up the advantage gained
with the least possible delay, and lose
little time in palaver with Garcia and his
malcontents. The business in hand is
to drive the Spaniards from Cuba. II
can't be done by remaining in camp three
hundred miles from the entrenched en-
envy.
