Of the Work Of Grading
Uni0ntown Hills.
COUNTY PAYS $4,000
There Will BE 45,of5 Cubic
Yards Of Earth To 30
Moved--Wili Cost
$11,47o.

County Surveyor Hoover, upon the
order of the county commissioners,
made survey of the Uniontown hills
and completed an estimate of the
amount of excavating necessary to
bring the road level down to the point
desired by the railway company. A cut
about 20 feet deep will be made in the
large hill at Uniontown and several
smaller hills will be cut down mater
tally.
To do the entire work contemplated,
1t will be necessary to move 45,915 yards
of earth, the cost of which at 20 cents
a cubic yard will be $11.47S75. The
usual rate for doing this kind Of work
is from 20 to rs cents yard, and the
Canton and Akron line, which is getting
the benefit of 1t, pays to its contrac-
tors % cents yard. At this rate the
cost of doing the work would be SIC, 101.-
30. Surveyor Hoover's estimate was on
the basis of 25 cents.
is ALL PREARRANGED.
The county commissioners have
agreed with the railway company to ap-
propriate $4,000 out of the county treas
ury to aid in the work.
They claim that the railway company
threatened to leave the roadway ana
go around the hill on private right of
way II the commissioners did not aid in
the work, as it was claimed the public
would share in the benefits. 1t was
roughly estimated that the work would
cost $4,000 and of this sum the county
agreed to pay half.
The arrangement is that the county
is to advertise the work and that the
electric company Is to bid it in at SO,
900 and proceed to do the work, while
I the county Is to pay but half of the
amount contracted for The appro
priation was made on the strength ol
the petition signed by property owners
in the vicinity of Uniontown, which was
signed with the understanding that the
railway company should pay the as
sessments of the petitioners.
| 1t is said that the work Of grading il
already in progress. and that the award
ing of the contract will be a mere for
mality.
COMMISSIONERS APPROVE.
At their Wednesdays session, tn,
commissioners took up the matter o
the estimate and approved it and or
dered it entered upon the journal. Com
missioners Summer and Johnson voted
yes on the proposition and Commits
sioner Crawford registered a negativ,
vote.
The commissioners stated that the.
would prepare advertisements callinl
for bids on the proposition, and tina
while the estimate had been made OF
the basis of 25 cents cubic yard it wa
altogether likely that it would be BIZ
off at about 20 cents yard, whicl
would make the total little over 50,
00O
The profile filed with the commits
sioners, and which will be made par
of the record, shows. that at present tn
hill at Uniontown has grade of 1
feet to the 100, and the modification un
der the new grade will reduce it to
feet to the 100. The earth taken from
the hills will be deposited in the hol
lows and thus be made to serve doubl
purpose.

A WORD OF CAUTION.
Think Twice Before You Buy 'New
and Remarkable Plants" from
StrolIinG Agents.

Much good money is wasted every
year in the purchase of nursery stock
that is 1.-The greatest wonder of the
age" People keep on buying this sort
of things and probably will continue
TO do so. Some enterprising man, out
of job, perhaps, or possibly because
there is money to be made at it, ar
ranges with some grower of nursery
stock to fill his orders with the cheap
est sort of Seeding apple trees. The
agent starts out and names it 'the
everbearing pumpkin apple" Trees
are sold for so cents or 81 each, and
the purchaser plants ''the ever bear
ing pumpkin apple tree" watches it
closely for four or six years, and at
last there are few blossoms. What
delicious pumpkin apples" will be
his! When fall arrives and few sour
apples are all that are secured, there
is considerable disappointment, but
usually further hopes for future de-
velopment. If plain, reliable trees of
Missouri Pippin, Ben Davis, Winesap,
Jonathan, Arkansas Black, Maiden
Blush, or any other standard varieties
had been planted good fruit would
have been secured instead of nothing.
This is but an illustration. The prin-
ciple holds good in the purchase of
seeds and plants of every sort. Pur-
chasing seeds and plants from we'll
known nurserymen and seedsmen is
the best and safest plan. Expectations
of great deal for nothing, or of Sc
curing something unusually profitable
will not be realized. Fruits are men
toned particularly because of the fire.

TIE FLOWER GARDEN.
A List OF Desirable Outdoor Plants
for People Whose Tine = oe-
cupied by other work.

Those who love flowers, and find
their time so fully occupied that they
cannot bother with ANIMALS or seed of
any kind, can have brilliant display
all summer with perennials. First of
these is perennial phloX; our grand
mothers used to call it Jerusalem
pink" 1t can be purchased in all coll
ors, and if the long tresses of flow
ers are kept cut they are kept in bloom
a long time. Some of the catalogues
advertise to send them by mail for
five cents apiece. They can be planted
out at any time until the first of June.
A round bed bordered with these, with
Madame Crozy, and Florence Vaughan
cannas in the center, makes one of the
grandest displays that one would wish
to see. Care must be exercised in plant
ing out, not to set the young plants too
close, as they grow very fast, blossom
ing the first season, and begin to
crowd each other. Every year the
roots must be divided.
Next on the list will be the peren-
NAL larkspur. The old-fashioned
name was bee larkspur or nonkshood.
These, too, must be given plenty OF
room, and their long tresses of ''heav-
emily blue" must be cut when faded, to
prolong their period of bloom.
For yellow display nothing will
compare with the golden glow rud-
beckia. 1t sends out its double yellow
blossoms for week, and like the rest,
is perfectly hardy. For a display of
white flowers standing alone on the
lawn, few flowers give better satisfac-
tion than the hvacinthus Candicans.
They are bulbs and as hardy as an
oak. Each bulb will send up two or
three stems two or three feet tall, and
these stems are filled with innumer-
able pure white bells, that are very
pleasing to the eyes; but they are
lacking in fragrance.
Now we will name one vine, the
japonica, or hardy moon flower. In
ordering, be sure you call for the hardy
variety. The tuber resembles a sweet
potato. You can purchase a large
blooming-size tuber for % cents. The
blossoms of this variety are white and
very large, and stay out nearly all day.
Plant the tuber deep in good rich soil,
where it can remain. Allplants named
here, except cannas, require no care
and are not troubled by insects.-Mrs.
John Gaillard, in Ohio Farmer.

HOW TO PLANT A GARDEN.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Dig out or burn the whole orchard
or get rid of the sod, one or the other.
Plant trees just as soon as the frost
gets out and the ground gets fit to
work.
Grating may be done, even if the
trees are in bloom, provided the scions
are dormant.
Well shaken when taken applies
with full force to spraying with fungi
cides and insecticides.
Don't be afraid of the San Jose scale:
that won't hurt you. But fight shy of
the louise that builds the scale.
Hill up around young apple and
peach trees, not to keep the borers out,
but so that if they get in you can
readily dig them out.
Mind you don't use crude petroleum
ona tree except when the buds are dor
mant; if you do you will kill the tree.
After ehe buds begin to swell is too
late.
Getthe sprayer at work at once. For
fungi and peach curl use Bordeaux
mixture; for insect pests use Paris
green. For San Jose scale and other
scale lice, use crude petroleum that
tests above 40 degrees. Select a clear
day for petroleum spray. Go over the
fruit trees onoe before the leaves
show. once after the fruit sets, and
once or twice afterwards from three
to four weeks apart.-Farm Journal.

made of leather or tin, and of any size
to suit, but a convenient size is one
that will hold about one quart. The
piston rod, b, is 11a inches square, to
fit inside the box, a, and one-half-

as handle. At c is a half-inch pin ex-
tending through the slot, 6, which is
one-half by three inches. This is
placed - inches from the bottom, and
when the piston, b, is raised, it brings
the notch, f, just opposite the hole at
the bottom of the hopper. This notch
is about three-quarters inch deep, and
is made to hold, measure and convey
the peas from the hopper to the ground
beneath. The size of it is governed to
suit the number of peas wanted.
