FAVORABLE DECISION.
Good Roads, Says the Iowa supreme
Court, Are of benefit to Every
Citizen of the state.

A decision which is favorable to the
improvement of the highways has been
rendered by the Iowa supreme court,
and is based on the principle that
good highways are of general bene-
fit, not only to the territory through
which they pass, but to the inhabitants
of cities and towns, 10y facilitating
travel, and thus promoting intercourse
and trade"
The question at issue was on the
right of county to collect taxes in
cities and towns for road purposes.
a railroad company claimed that it
was double taxation, on the ground
that the cities already laid a tax
for their own streets, and further
claimed that taxes could not be levied
in one part of a county to use in an
other part.
The court decided against these
claims and, il would seem. very justly.
1t is a very shortsighted policy for a
city to desire to limit its work of road
improvement to its own borders. In
order to grow and prosper and main
tain a healthy activity the roads from
the surrounding country which nour
ish 1t and take its merchandise in re-
turn must be kept open and in good
condition. This is at least as impor-
tant for the city as for the country,
and they should divide the expense in
right proportional. A. w Bulletin.

Weeping Willow That weeps.

The most beautiful gardens in Eu-
rope, those of the world-famous Chats
worth estate, belonging TO the duke of
Deyonshire, in England. contain as
their prize curiosity an artificial weep

copper and is so dexterously contrived
and cunniAgly painted that at care
less glance one does not distinguish it
from a real tree. The custodian of the
gardens delights in showing the tree

he stops suddenly as If he had just

Most people are so used to planting
melons in hills that they deem this the
only way. But very successful melon
growers think that making very
slight ridge and planting the seed in
row pretty closely together is a bet
ter way. So soon rs the vines begin
to run tn ir tendrils clasp others, and
this KEGS them from being blown
about by ,inds. By making the ridges
eight OF more feet apart the cultiyator
can be kept running through them un-
til the vines spread out and occupy
the whole of the vacant space, which
they will surely do before the sum-
mer is ended, If the vines appear to be
too close together in the row the poor
est may be cut out without leaving a
vacancy, as would be the case if they
were planted in hills.

When an attempt is made to grade
the flock up to a higher standard such
work should be done by judicious Sc
lection of pure-bred males and fe-
males, but farmers prefer to procure
males and cross on their hens. If
farmers will use the best males, how
ever, crossing would not be objection
able, but they will exchange males
with some neighbor, or accept as pure
bred fowls some that are but grades,
which can effect no improvement.

stovepipe, a split oak sapling and
small two-inch board nailed across the
split Just behind the roller. The pipe
was well riveted with wrought nails;
a short apple tree limb, with old bolts
driven in either end was put in the
pipe and packed solidly in gravel and
sand, and an inch board was sawed out
TO fiji the ends, and nailed in, after
tamping the sand and gravel. Anger
holes bored in either side of the split
handle made that fiji nicely, and to
strengthen it wire nails were driven
through and bent on both sides. 4
support to hold the tongue or handle
off the ground was made by mailing
an eight-inch peg in an auger hole at
the point where the split stopped. The
roller could be pushed or pulled back
and forth, over and across, and did
most effective work.
The small roller proving inadequate
as a clod crusher and leveler, where the
soil was rough and uneven, | made
larger, stronger and more durable tool
after the fashion of a wheelbarrow
In this | used the six-inch stovepipe
filled with sand and gravel, and iron
spikes driven in center square block
for an axle. The frame was made OF
two by four-inch scantling, with boards
nailed across for bottom, and a dash,
board of eight-inch plank nailed to up.
right standards just behind the roller
This made n platform for weighing
the roller, by giving the children ride
or putting in some rocks. The legs
may be left off, If desirable, and the
roller can be made of wood to suit
the circumstances. In this roller how
ever, where much weight is needed, the
stovepipe is hardly heavy enough, and
a round block of wood, even one foot
in diameter, is preferable, This roller
can be used in the same manner as Q
wheelbarrow and is a very handy, in
expensive tool that more than pays for
its manufacture in one season, and will
last a great many years if properly
handled.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm and
