Melon Vines In Rows

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 a very
slight ridge and planting the seed in
a row pretty closely together is a bet
ter way. So soon as the vines begin
to run their tendrils clasp others, and
this keeps them from being blown
about by winds. By making the ridges
eight or more feet apart the cultivator
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 thew
were planted in hills.

IMPROVEMENT.
MILLIONS ARE WASTED.
Expense OF Worthless Repairs Would
i'm Almost Every Instance
Build Good Roads.

Some months ago the people of Sac
ramento county, CAL, voted to issue
bonds for road construction purposes /;
but, owing to possible defect in the
law, the matter is in the courts for
adjudication. Not long after, San
Mateo county voted on the same ques-
ton and decisively rejected it. 1t is
said that this result indicates that
the people generally are not willing
to bond their credit for the purpose
OF constructing good roads," and that
if Improvements are to be made in
the highways, some other method of
providing means for it must be found
In an exhaustive address on the sub
ject, Engineer J. II. Price, of the state
highway commission, recently consid
cred the matter in detail and showed
what could be accomplished if tn,
money that is annually spent in worth
less repairs should be devoted t.
building permanent roads. In this re
spect, California may be taken as
sample of nearly every state, the same
considerations applying to all.
Mr.. Price found that every county
spends from 100000 to $50 900 in repairs
each year; that for II years prior to
1895, the total was $17.959, ,717.94. or a
yearly average of $1,623. .7O1; but, as
there are other expenditures not in
cluded in these figures, he considers
the annual outlay to be So 2.O0O, 900. and
there are no improvements in the road.
to show for it.
If this outlay is continued for 40
years, the amount expended would
reach $SO.O00,000, and this sum would
pay for the construction of 10000
miles OF good macadam, costing $4,000
mile. There are in the state about
$4,000 miles of roads, and to macadam-
tze one-quarter of them, or 11,OOo

Free Mail Delivery I'm Rural Districts
May Become an Established Ma
tional InstftutiOn.

The experiment in rural free mail
delivery, made from 14O post Offices
throughout the country, is to be con.
tinued, owing 10 the increase by con-
yress of the appropriation available
for this purpose. If rural free mail de-
livery becomes an established insti-
tuition it will remove one more of the
drawbacks to rural life in the United
states. Perhaps the time is not far
listant when the American woman's
lislike Of country life will be succeeded
oy an appreciation of it as hearty as
hat felt by her English cousin.
Rural free mail delivery ought to be
rs successful in the United States as it
IN England, If for no other reason
han that the country in the older Sec
tlons OF the United States is more
thlckly populated than it is in England.
one OF the greatest obstacles to rural
free mail delivery in this country has
been the absence of good roads. Some
OF the experimental routes now under
trial are in the vicinity of Mcorestown.
n. D., from which place radiate manv
miles of improved roads, built under
the state road law. In that vicinity
mail is now being distributed at the
farmers homes by carriers upon bi.
cycles, so that the roads, which make
the use of bicycle, equipped with
mud guards and gear case, possible in
all kinds of weather. except when the
ground is covered with snow, have con-
1erred upon the inhabitants the addi-
tlonai benefits of free mail delivery.

Signs of a Good Cow.

One or two signs will denote a good
COW, Prof. Heacker says, as well as
twenty; in poor COW the thigh runs
down straight. so there is no space
pefween the thigh and the udder on
one side and the tail on the other.
! here should be plenty of daylight be.
tween the udder and the tail. One Of
the best ways to tell what kind of a
co" YOU have is her temperament. A
good dairy type has sharp spine.
strongly developed nervous system.
and sharp hip bones. A good COW has
a large. wedge-shaped stomach, for
she must have large and powerful

There is not much money for the

White grapes are not as popular as

sand, and an inch board was sawed out
to fit the ends, and nailed in, after

The small roller proving inadequate
as clod crusher and leveler, where the
soil was rough and uneven, | made a
larger, stronger and more durable tool
after the fashion of Wheelbarrow.
In this ! used the six-ineh stovepipe

spikes driven in center square block

two by four-inch scantling, with boards
nailed across for bottom, and dash

right standards just behind the roller.
This made platform for weighting
the roller. by giving the children a 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

in diameter, is preferable. This roller
can be used in the same manner as n

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-
nit, not only to the territory through
which they pass, but to the inhabitants
OF cities and towns, by facilitating
travel, and thus promoting intercourse
and trade" -
The question at issue was on the
right of a county to collect taxes in
cities and towns for road purposes.
\ railroad company claimed that it
was double taxation, on the pro,,nh
that the cities already laid tax
1or their own streets, and further
claimed that taxes could not be levied
in one part of q county to use in an
other part. x-.
The court decided against these
claims and, it would seem, very Justly.
1t is very shortsighted policy for a
r'ty to desire to limit it's work of road
improvement to it's own borders. In
order to grow and prosper and main
tain healthy activity the roads from
the surrounding country which nour-
lsh 1t and take its merchandise in re.
turn must be kept open aud in good
condition. This is at least as ;mnor.
'ant Tor the city as for the country.
and they should divide the expense in

Here is good plan for keeping but

brick laid in lime mortar and cement
and floor it with soft brick. Lay
frame of good hard wood in mortar
upon the top of this vault. Hinge to
the frame trapdoor of plank two
inches thick, making it fit smoothly
over the top. Then after the cream is
separated and cooled put it down in
the vault to ripen. Butter may be kept
there in the agreeable GOODNESS also.
II you have no separator, put the
cream into your vault so soon as YOU
have skinned it, there to cool and
