planting neans with Corn.

1t used to be the practice more than
it is now to plant one or two beans in
each hill of corn that is eaten out by the
cut worm. 1t makes much extra work
to harvest these beans. But the plan is
perhaps better than to plant In late
some more corn that will not be ripened
with the other, and can be used only
for feeding as soft corn. The corn
shades adjoining corn too much. Beans
of the bush variety will not shade it at
all. The extra sunlight which gets
down to the soil where hill of corn
has been destroyed makes the corn hills
on either side more prolific than they
would have been.-American Cultivator.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
what Preparations Are Necessary for
Country Roads before They Re-
ceIve Their Surface Material.

In a recent article on "Things to be
Remembered in Building Good Roads,"
w. Z. Barnes pertinently says that "too
many people seem to think that any
thing that is to be covered up does not
need attention-that it is done simply
because some engineer has said that ii
should be so. The authorities seem to
doubt whether it pays to put so much
money out of sight. What they want
is to spread out the money so it will ali
be in sight of their constituents, so that
when the day of reelection comes they
can point TO a great deal apparently
done with little money" This is doubt
less one reason why it is so difficult to
get roads properly drained.
He then goes on to consider what
preparations are necessary for per-
manent country roads before they re-
ceive the stone, or other material, and
offers the following suggestions:
"The first thing to do is to employ
come competent man to run levels over
the entire length of the road intended
for Improvement, and taking levels at
the sides frequently enough to find
drainage at every available place along
the line of the proposed road. Then a
carefuily-drawn profile should be made,
efter which the grade line of the road
should be carefully studied and drawn
on the profile. If the ground will admit
of it witbout too much expense, long
stretches of the same rate of grade
should be avoided, as it is too hard on
the muscles of the draft animals when
hauling a heavy load, as it admits of a
constant and severe strain on them, as
can be easily seen by the trembling OF
the muscles after a pull over these
grades. A frequent change in the
grades allows some rest on the various
parts of the muscles.
Complete specifications should be
written, telling in a general, as well a:
special, way what is to be done and
how to do it. These specifications

The chcapness of Bicycle sundries

dries for the past two years has kept
pace with wheels. And, by the way, it
is not well known that of the latter the

in 1897 for $40 is now only $50.
