Then the kitten baby is laid in his
arms and both keep perfectly still
till the command is given: Kiss the
baby gently"
Then the doggie bends over and
kisses kitty. Kitty does not like this
a bit. but she submits with good
grace, only fattening her ears to
show her disapproval. The terrier,
however, seems to enjoy it. and
kisses kitty's little nose I'VE and

The minute The kitty baby is I'M

THE GOOD A IDEA.
Pennsylvania Appropriates Six and
Oae-HaIf Million DoIIar rs to
; Help 1t Along.

The leaven of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man. who
has recently taken a trip through Tex
as, says the enthusiasm with which the
people have taken up the good roads
idea" is wonderful. In some counties
they are in danger of going wild" on
the subject. Funds are being raised
mainly by issue of county bonds.
In Pennsylvania, the state idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just
adopted is for the state, the county
and the township to cooperate in
the work of building and improving
the roads. The state is to pay two
thirds of the expense, and the county
and township in which the work is
done each one-siXth of the expense.
The state has made available for this
purpose &c. 0 900, to be expended dur
ing the next few years.
The principle involved in the state
aid plan is exactly the same as hat in
volved in the scheme for national aid
which has developed such popularity
recently. The fundamental idea of
both is that road improvement is not
merely 4 matter of LOGAN interest and
responsibility, but a matter of inter
est and concern to the whole people;
or. to put 1T another way, road build
ing is coming to be viewed as a species
of internal improvement" belonging
i'll the same class as river and harbor
improvements.
Another reason why national and
state aid are becoming so popular is
the realization that, unless something
of the kind is adopted. the burden of
bad roads, like the poor, will be al
ways with us. The bottomless roads
of the country constitute a sort of
slough of despond" in which the peo-
pie are destined to founder until some
n comes along to help them out. In
fact the expense for improving the
roads III many localities is a burden
which the local population is wholly
unable to bear. 1T is believed that
whenever the state or the nation
reaches out a helping hand to such
communities, they will grasp it and
bend all their energies to the great
work of improving their highways,
but they will never undertake the Job
without help from the outside.
The frequent spring rains made the
roads almost impossible in a majority
of the local communities throughout
the eastern half of the United States.
Perhaps this is n of the reasons why
the good roads idea is uppermost in
SO many minds.

ORNAMENT THE YARD.
&c Pays to Surround the Farm House
with Trees. shrubs and Clam
bering Vines.

If the farmer knew how cheaply his
grounds could be ornamented, there
would be fewer unsightly yards in the
country. Even the boys and girls, with
a little trouble, could surround the
house with beautiful trees and shrubs
and ~clambering vines, and the cost
would be only a few days work each
year. There is scarcely a tree or a
shrub that will not propagate readily
from cuttings, and all kinds can be in
creased almost indefinitely. Insert the
cuttings in a moist piece of ground in
the spring, and give them one or two
hoeings. By the second year they will
be large enough to transplant to per-
manent quarters. Some writers re-
commend tra%nsplanting a little deeper
in the new location than originally
grown, but the theory is unnatural,
for nature feeds from the roots, not
the trunk. The %sprouting of seeds is
a curious study; too much or too lit
tie soil cover may Il seed to ger
inmate, to lie dormant, or to rot.
Trees grown from small, light seeds,
such as box elder. maple, elm, cotton
wood, should be planted shallow,
whereas deep-rooted. varieties which
produce large. heavy seeds, such as the
oak and walnut, require deeper plant
ing; and care in transplanting should
be taken that the roots are placed in
the positions in which they formerly
grew, as nearly as possible. Some
times cottonwoods and soft naples
standing so shallow that some of the
upper roots become visible on the sur
face make quick, vigorous growth.
The roots which formerly grew close
to the surface should certainly not be
placed deep down in the soil. OF RI
nature tries to overcome abuse of this
i by sending out new networks of
rootlets, but while this is being done
the growth of the tree is retarded.
Herbaceous plants. like lilies, phloNes,
peonies. irises, yuccas, anemonies, and
hundreds of others, can have their
roots divided and subdivided. and the
plants will be the more thrifty for the
dlvision.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Roru. Commission Firms.

Look out for fraudulent commission
firms. Two men of this, class have re-
Gently been arrested in Chicago for
swindling farmers. Their trick is an
old one. They claim to be able to get
higher prices than any one else in the
business. A consignment is made, and
fattering returns are promptly made.
For succeeding assignments no returns
are ever received. When the shipper
investigates he finds the men have
moved, and no one knows of their
whereabouts. The fact is, they have
skipped around the corner somewhere,
and are working their old game under
Q new name.-Farm Journal

DAY DREAMS.

when I'm a man." said Johnny.
"Ill be a sailor bold,
And I'll sail the mighty ocean In search Of
wealth untold.
And I'll build myself a castle with a fearful
donjon keep.
And I'll have ten thousand vassals who Will
guard me while / sleep.
Then I'll rescue some fair princess from
a robber, don't YOU see?
And she will thank me sweetly and say
she'll marry me;
And when l wed the princess III be a king,
you know.
And I'll have IA million subjects who VIII
bow before me low"
But While he was a-dreaming of the time
that was to be,
h teacher asked him gently the simple
rule of three;
Then his castle and his kingdom faded
into air at once,
And the crown that fate decreed him was
the tall cap of a Ounce.

How to XIII Plant Lice.

The different species of aphides,
green and brown lice that are often
SO numerous on apple, plum and cher
ry trees. are only to be killed by con-
tact with some insecticide that kills
in that manner. The plant bugs and
squash bug are of this kind. For
these, kerosene emulsion, or a whale
oil soap suds will be found most eff
f~ective, applied as 500 as the insects
are observed. The squash bug does
not yield to V e these measures
readily except while very young, and
the pest should be fought at hal time.
