sired to start cucumber plants in
the hotbed, it is best to take small
pieces OF sod cut into squares. In
vert them in the hotbed, SOW the
seed in them and at the proper time
they may he taken up and trans
ierred without disturbing the roots.
1t will be more convenient in
sowing the seed, weeding and TAX
ing out the plants to have the bed
about 3 feet wide and as long as
necessary t" grow the desired mum
Der of plants.
If made in the ground dig out the
sol to the depth of at least IS
inches 3 feet wide and as long as
desired. and follow the same plan
as if the bed were made above
ground
Have boards 60 cover we'll, so as
to keep out the rain, and keep the
bed covered on cold or cloudy days
and at night, hut always remove
the cover when the sun shines out
bright and warm.
Two or three days before taking
out the plants let the bed stand
open, both during the day and at
night. This will help to harden the
plants aud insure quicker start to
grow

Ii there is any one thing that is
most essential in growing of IA good
crop of potatoes it is loose, loamy
soil. 1t should be fairly rich and
the soil should be stirred deep and
thorough and worked into a fine
filth.
Moisture is an essential item in
making a good growth of potatoes.
This can best he secured by stirring
the soil deep, preparing it in good
tilth, so that the planting can be
done reasonably deep. In this way
the plants will withstand drought
better than if the soil is stirred
shallow aud the seed planted shall
low.
The soil should be stirred suffi-
GENTLY deep and the seed planted
at such depth that level cultiva-
ton can be given. By keeping the
surface level and in good filth,
moisture will be retained much bet
ter than if thrown into ridges when
cultivating.
II is not advisable to use fresh,
coarse manure with this crop. 1t
not only tends to induce rough,
prongy growth, but makes condi-
tions especially favorable for the
production and spread of scab. In
fact, rather than use fresh, coarse
manure, it will be better to use
commercial fertilizers.
In fact, in many cases, if there is
a short supply of manure it will pay
to use commercial fertilizers on the

The construction OF good roads
has received wide attention in this
country, but "a yet no practical
system has been devised by which
any considerable portion of our
roads can be improved. The con-
struction of good roads on any
except a gravel soil is costly bust
ness, so expensive that the farmers
simply can not bear The burden. 1t
would amount to the confiscation
of the farms ii the burden were
placed upon them, for on black
prairie soil, for instance, there must
be deep solid foundation laid.
Gravel on such soil will not stand.
1t will go down out Of sight during
the Spring thaws.
Where such roads exist wide tires
would 60 long ways toward pre-
serving them, but it would be long
time before everybody adopted wide
tires. But bad roads are very ex-
pensive. The wear and tear of
wagons, harness and horses, which
they entail, amounts to many mil
lions of dollars in a year, and the
farmer is shut out of the market and
from all social intercourse with
neighbors frequently for long peri
DDS. All this is loss and serious
one, so serious, thatin many sections
where the conditions are all together
favorable to road improvements,
there should be no negligence 10 the
matter. No one should object to the
small outlay necessary to make

Make Your own Plant Cuttings

The cuttings of many ofthe plants
to be used in the flower garden
should be rooted during the months
of February or March. Geraniums
made during these mouths should
be covered with blooms during the
summer months if they are given
proper care. Other plants that add
greatly to the beauty OF the garden,
and which may be propagated 10y
cuttings, are the Coleus, Iresine,
Althermanthera and Centaura
These plants all root readily from
cuttings; they can be started in a
cutting box in the window, which
should be as long and wide as de-
sired for the limited space and
about or 5 inches deep. 1t should
he filled with clear river sand. When
the cuttings are first made they
should be shaded during the heat Of
the day and sprinkled several times
day until the cuttings become
thoroughly established The sand
should always be kept moist, but
never wet Cuttings are often rooted
in deep plate filled with moist
sand. There are various contri-
vauces used for roofing cuttings,
but in each case the roofing medi-
um is clean moist sand. Soil is apt
to become soggy.--W II. Moore,
Kansas Experimental Station

potatoes aud use the stable manure
for other crops. If this is done the
ground should be plowed deep and
thorough, and then worked into a
good filth; mark out the burrows for
the seed, taking care to run them
reasonably deep. Then drop the
fertilizers in the bottom of the fur
rows where each hill is to be plant
ed, stirring it into the loose soil in
the bottom of furrow. A garden
trowel makes "A very convenient
implement with which to apply the
fertilizer.
Then drop the seed, taking care
to drop them with the fresh side
down, and cover them well. In
cutting the seed, if medium sized
tubers are used, cut so as to leave
two good eyes in each piece, and
drop one cut in each hill.
If the condition of The soil will
admit, give a good narrowing. This
will kill out any weeds that may
have started up, and at the same
time will fine and mellow the sur
face
For the first early crop the plant
ing can be done at the first oppor-
tunity when the soil can be worked
into good condition.

through some of the southern states.
Our best wishes 90 with him for Il
pleasant "trip during his soiourn in
tie South. Last week the citizens
purchased the bell which used to be
on the NIiddleburgh school house.
The bell was at once brought to this
place and placed on the Paxtonville
school house. The citizens of town
should (and | think they do) receive
the congratulations of all people in
our community for taking that step
forward in purchasing bell for the
school house. 1t is something that
should be done by the patrons of all
our schools in the township. We
agree with some of our kind people
with the insignificant expression that
"a little round bell I'M little round
dome on a little red school house has
nothing to do with the teaching
qualities within the school room.
But how pleasant it is to hear the
echoes of the school bell resounding
among these lonely hills, where all
earth and skies are smiling upon us
in silent alteration ~. Mrs. Grant
Eoder of Globe Mills made a fash
ionable call at this place on Satur-
day. Last Sunday night week
ago Rev. Joshua Shambach of Mid
dleburgh delivered a very able and
interesting sermon in the Evangelic-
al church at this place. He had
selected for his text Proverbs 18th
chapter andpart of the oath verse
which reads ga man that hath
friends must shew himselffriendly."
During his discourse he referred to
the friendliness of Solomon and also
to the friendliness that William
Penn showed toward the Indians in
Pennsylvania. He said that friend.
illness is the brightest star that shines
from the dome of man. About the
reverse of friendliness he said that
when the heart is possessed with
enmity. 1t causes grudge, therefore
we should try to meet every frown
with smile.
