Grating Art.

An anomaly in grating, being plant

tomatoes at the stalk, was brought

making Vshaped slit in the top, into
which he inserted a freshly clipped
young tomato plant, bound the Joint
with straw and supported it by long
rods. Nature did the rest.
The tomato drew sustenance from the
earth through the roots of the potato
and in return furnished what was re-
quired in the way of the action of light
and air upon its own leaves to its adopt-
ed roots.
The plant is now three months old
On pushing aside the earth several fair
ly developed potatoes are shown. each
a trifle larger than a large hens egg
From the vines a half-dozen tomatoes
are hanging, in different stages of ma
turity. Several have ripened and the
others promise to do so, as well.
The tomato vine loses its identity at
the place where the graft was made
There are no leaves at all suggestive
of the potato. The vine is fully three
feet high.-N Y. Herald.

Because farmer has all outdoors, the
disposal of sewage on the farm is usu-
ally neglected subject. While the pio-
neer had no need to take thought on this
matter, it is question whose i'm
portance increases in direct proportion
to the growth of population. Very primi-
tive methods are still in vogue in coun-
try and town, and the time will come
when the present custom of turning
of disease-reeking sewage into water
courses will be looked upon as both
criminal and suicidal. For the present
every farmer should make that provi-
sion for house and stable sewage which
seems safe and economical. The farmer
who always sees wealth on waste prod

OFFICIALLY INDoRsED.
Ohio Republicans and Beet Sugar In-
dustry Men Unanimous for
Good Roads.

The progress that is being made by
the good roads movement is indicated
by the action of state legislatures and
conventions in favor of road improve
ment. The action of the recent repub-
lican state convention in Ohio in unani-
mously adopting strong good roads
plank indicates the force and popular
ity which this movement has acquired
In the north. This Is the first time
such stand has been taken by Ohio
republicans since the birth of the party.
Mr.. Charles F. Saylor, special agent
OF the government for the investiga-
tion of the sugar industry, who has
Travelled through nearly all the north
ern and western states in the prosecu-
tion of his work, recently expressed the
results of his observations as follows:
Probably no other subject of inter-
est to the rural population is receiving
more attention throughout the nation
than that of road improvement. One
of the fundamental needs of society is a
ready means of communication. The
experiment stations of the country are
now engaged in experimental work and
actual demonstration with a view to
stimulating the public mind and pro-
noting the best and cheapest systems
of good road building with local mate
rial, state legislatures are enacting bet
ter laws and in some cases the princi-
pie of state aid has been adopted. The
federal government has established an
office of public road inquiries in the
department of agriculture. Literature
has been prepared and distributed for
the education of the people on this sub
ject.
There is nothing that will work so
effectually for good roads as necessity,
| the mother of invention. When beet
sugar factory is established farmers at
once discover the necessity of good
roads. Agitation begins, public meet
ings are held, and every public high
way becomes the object of solicitous at
tention. 1t is found that the farmer
requires at least four horses, and must
deliver from two and half to four tons

the best results in the saving of time

Improvement and the idea becomes in
fectious. A public meeting is called,
public roads are discussed, and an or
ganization is effected which goes to
work for the improvement of the roads.
Among the interesting features of my
work of promoting the progress of beet
sugar industry, is attendance at these
local meetings, at which roads and
other subjects pertinent to the needs OF
these beet-growing districts are consid-
cred. Permanent road building is one
of the most important matters COM
monty discussed"
Reports from all sections indicate
that the question of road Improvement
is one of the most popular subjects oi
discussion in farmers meetings of all
| kinds, and state and national aid are
being generally indorsed. The farm
ers are beginning to see that they have
not received their share of attention
from the national government, and tc
demand substantial recognition in the
way of federal aid and cooperation il

THE QUIET FARM LIFE.
There Are But Few Failures, Moral
or Financial, Among the TilIers
of the Soil.

would not try to make every boy a
farmer, or every girl farmers wife,
but it does seem to me that we should
impress upon the children that, while
the opportunities to make great for
tunes will not often open to them on
the farm, there are less failures among
those engaged in our business than any
other. When we read eulogies on the
captains of industry, who have accumu-
lated fortunes in mining, commerce and
manufacturing, we do not hear of the
poor, miserable privates who have
fallen by the wayside, financial, moral
and physical wrecks.
Do not teach the children that life's
pathway is strewn with thorns and
brambles in all directions. Too much
teaching has already gone forth, and
the masses are pushing, crushing, surg
ing and jostling against each other,
even to madness and destruction. Still,
in all this wild rush, we occasionally
see individuals who are quietly and
gently, with a pleasant word and smile,
making their way through the seething
mass of humanity, almost without dis
turbing it, and reaching the desired
goal. "As sorrow and weeping may en-
dure for the night, but JOY cometh in
the morning" so will peace come with
earnest, conscientious effort, accompa-
MED with consideration for others
