HOW TO BUILD ROADS.
They ShOld Be Rounded Up in the
Center as to Shed Water to
the Side Drains

The first principle applicable to all
roads is good drainage. Take the wa
ter out and keep the water OUT is a
rule which must be followed in the maxi
ing of every road. 1t is not enough TO
dig trenches at the side of the road and
call them drains. These trenches must
be real drains; that is. they must have
a good fall to a clear outlet, and be in
every respect capable Of carrying the
water away. The road must be round
ed up il the center so as to shed the wa
ter quickly to the side drains. There
must be a track in the center of the
road along which travel can pass. This
track must be hard and smooth so as to
afford the least friction to travel. pre-
vent ruts and at the same time permit
water to run off the sides quickly. Ruts
and holes must not be permitted to
form, but be filled up as sooH as they
appear. The drainage must not be
abandoned with the taking care of the
surface water, but in many instances
must extend below the surface in the
form of tile underdrains, so aN to form
a firm foundation and lessen the de-
structive action of the frost-injurious
only to wet and water soaked roads. In
addition to the simple work on roads,
better methods with regard to culvert
and bridge construction are greatly
needed. The principles above enum-
Grated with respect to roads require an
infinity Of special methods and treat
ments in arriving at the best results ac-
cording as the land is high lying or low;
is clay, sand, vegetable-mold, etc.; is
difficult of drainage; according to the
extent of travel, the quality of road
metal Observation-Disclosures and many
other varying conditions. That road
making and highway work of all kinds
is considered a matter in which every
man is proficient is probably one of the
evils underlying the bad conditions of
cur roads to-day-Rural World.

any other cause. 1t is worthy of note
in the study of this orchard that the
trees were longest-livsd that were on
the sides and at the base of the hill.
My studies of this and many other
old orchards on hill sites seem to war
rant the following conclusions: That
trees planted on hill sites will come
into bearing earlier and will produce
heavier crops of fruit than on level
sites; that a north hillside is a better
site than a south hillside; that an or.
chard on a hill site will be shorter
lived than on level site; that the
longevity and fruitfulness of an orchard
on hill site would be greatly increased
by sub-soiling and clean cultivation, as
such orchards suffer greatly from lack
of moisture; that only such varieties as
are not given to overbearing should be
planted on hill sites if longevity is de-
sired in the orchard; that a hill or or
chard ought to be benched. which may
be done by blowing at a right angle tc
the slope and breaking the soil on the
lower side of the trees, as shown in our
iliustration.-A. d. McCallen, in Aneri.

BENcH1NG HILLSIDE ORCHARDS.

craving is growing upon steep north
hillside-slant fully half-pitch-in
hill orchard owned by Mr.. ]. H. 10y,
in bingham county. 1t is six feet in
circumference, IS years old and is es-
timated to have produced $3.50 worth of
apples. The orchard has a northern
and southern slope, with a ridge wide
enough for one row of trees. Original
" there were about 800 trees, consist
ing of Is or 20 sorts. The trees were
planted 35 years ago and most of that
time the orchard has been pastured. AT
this time not more than so trees re-
main, the majority of which are in rapid
decadence. The 25 Ben Davis trees
were the first to die, and the Jennetings
and Minklers are the best preserved of
those surviving. Nearly all the trees
living in this old orchard are on the
north hillside and they are best where
the slant is steepest. So far as can be
determined from a study of the old
trees remaining in this orchard, decay
and decline are traceable in nearly
every instance to cutting out large
limbs, splitting down at forks and in
jury at base from borers, sunscald or
other causes unknown. 1t appears that
trees which made a low or branching
top and bore only moderate crops of
fruit were longest-lived. Peach trees,
mostly seedlings, were planted in this
orchard, between the apple trees after
the latter were in full bearing, but were
short-lived and not very productive,
which 1 think was rather owing to the
fact that they were in sod than from

sterilizing Grape Juice.

A report of the Canada experimental
farms gives an account of a series of
experiments on the best means Of
sterilizing grape juice. The conclusion,
which probably applies to sweet cider
as well as to grape juice, was that 1.-The
natural flavor of grape juice may be
preserved intact by raising the tenn
perature of the juice gradually TO 10
degrees Fahrenheit, keeping it at this
point for ten minutes and then quickly
bottling it, taking care to use absolute
ly alr-tight and thoroughly sterilized
vessels. These vessels should he taken

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

The best time to prune the peach
is early in the spring.
Unleached ashes are the best fer
tilizer for all stone fruits.
Clear lime water is the best for de-
stroying worms in pots and in fern
cases
One of the best things to keep rab-
bits away from trees is a mixture of
copperas and glue.
After raspberries have grown two
or three crops it pays to apply little
manure around them.
Curled leaf on the peach can gen.
orally be cured by thorough drainage,
aided by proper cultivation in good
season.
Marks made by a common pencil
in zinc labels will after time be-
come distinct and legible. No special
ink is needed.
The cherry succeeds better about
the house or elsewhere in grass than
most other fruit trees. 1t needs very
little pruning.
There is no danger in turning un-
der cover and planting the land to
strawberries and raspberries, plant
ing in the spring.
As general rule, after the or
ehard comes into full bearing, it is
best TO let it have the benefit of the
whole ground; clover, however, may
be grown.
The compact form of growth of the
currant adopts it to close garden
quarters. while its ability to thrive
in a partial shade is greatly in its
favor.--St. Louis Republic

DIR. hansen, the Arctic explorer, came
across an Irishman on one occasion who
declared that he had travelled farther
north than anybody.
''What nonsense!" exclaimed the
doctor, getting angry. ''Why, sir, do
you know calculate to have travelled
as far as any human being can possibly
get"
But still the Irishman persisted, and
went on TO say:
"Now, listen to this. How do you
know that we've travelled as far as any
human being can get?"

LETTERS FROM PRESIDENTS.
Discovery of a Valuable Old COllec-
tion In a New England
Town.

There has lately been found in a
town near Bridgeport, Conn, a valua-
BILE collection of old letters of nearly a
century ago, among them several of
George Washington, Andrew Jackson,
Daniel Webster. Henry Clay, James
Monroe and John Quincy Adams. The
letters were found among some old pa
pers and books belonging to one of the
Oldest families in the state and are in
the best condition, although they have
been stored away for nearly 100 years.
The Washington letter was written to
a Connecticut member of the family
when the general was with the army on
the Hudson river, and pertains to the
probable movement of his and the enc.
my's troops.
The letters of John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Jackson are peculiarly in
teresting as they are both written to
the same friend, on the same day in
March, 1924, and each asks the COM
mon friend to say what he thinks the
chances of each are for president. This
was in the days when the vice presi-
dent was elected in the same count as
the president, the one receiving the
greatest number of votes being chosen
president. Each asks his correspondent
what he should do when elected and
how he should act toward his friend
and rival. The Jackson letter is also
very valuable and is one of the most
characteristic letters in existence witt
ten by the general. The find has made
quite a stir among antiquaries in the
state and all the old trunks and IL
braries are being overhauled to find
Others of the same kind. Boston

HILL SITE ORCHARDS.
An Interesting Subject Interestingly
Discussed by n Successful
Fruit Grower.

The majority of old orchards in Hi.
nois were planted on hill sites and the
varieties were mostly sweet or very
sour sorts, seedlings being about as
numerous as budded or grated stock.
Of the named varieties of apples, Ram
DO, PiPpin, Bellfiower, Milan and Tai
man Sweet were perhaps the most COM
mon. As a rule these early orchards
were planted for family use only and
were given but little attention, being
used for pasture for hogs, sheep and
other stock. With such Indifferent
treatment very large crops of fruit
were seldom produced, and the trees
were not drained of their vitality.

PAYING INVESTMENT.
Steel Roadway in Spain Paid for
Itself in Two Years by Saving
I'm Road Repairs.

The American consul at Valencia,
Spain, reports these facts to the state
department at Washington: The road
between Valencia and Grao is two miles
in length, and an average of 5000 We
hicles pass over it daily. Until 1892 it
was constructed of flint stone. The
annual cost of keeping it in repair was
about $4,000 pesetas. AT the rate of eX-
change at that date this amounted to
S5,470. The construction of steel
roadway was determined on, anc the
annual cost of keeping in repair the
central zone of road thus relieved from
heavy traffic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only $500 pesetas, or
about $3.50 at the present rate of eX-
change.
The total cost of the road laid was
60,950 pesetas (S9.5O6). The expense in
detail was: Steel construction, 44,100
pesetas (S6,S90); transportation and
laying steel construction, $3.50 pesetas
(S50O; binding stone construction be-
tween rails and lateral zones, 1860
pesetas (S2, 1O9); total, 6O,950 pesetas
$50, 5000.
The rails, during the seven years they
have been in position, exhibit a wear of
1-25Oth of an inch yearly, and have not
required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between the
rails for two horses to walk abreast.
Horses do not appear to slip on rails of
this construction. At each side of the
rail are layers of binding stones, the
paved road being higher than the face
of the rails. The municipality of
Valencia is of opinion that the saving
in cost of repairs through a road of this
description pays for its construction in
a short time, and other and similar
roadways are in contemplation.
From various parts of Spain in
quiries have been made concerning this
road. l learn that similar construc-
tion was decided on at Alicante in 1898,
but was temporarily abandoned when
events caused exchange to increase. \
toll of (about) eight-tenths of cent
is charged each vehicle passing over

FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION.
Live stock Dealers of Chicago and
Kansas City Form an As
ISOLATION.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 15.-In order
to secure better protection against cat
tie swindlers and workers of frauds,
several representatives of Chicago live
stock commission firms en- route to the
Fort Worth cattle convention stopped
off here long enough to form what will
be known as the Live Stock Commits
sion Merchants Protective association.
For some time, and especially since
the Gillett alleged swindle, many of
the livestock men at the stock yards
have been contemplating forming an
association to work for mutual protec-
ton against not only swindlers, but
also against those customers who re-
fuse to promptly meet their obliga-
lions. At first it was thought to make
it Kansas City organization, but later
it was considered for the best inter-
ests of all to act jointly with Chicago.
After large amount of details the
association was formed, and these Off
GERS were elected: NJ. p. Buello, of
Chicago, president; NJ. d. Scruggs, of
Kansas City, viee-president; j. III.
Waite, Kansas City, secretary and
treasurer.
Twenty Chicago and Kansas City
firms were represented at the meeting.
