Such persons are laboring under mis-

fore congress do not propose to con-

They simply propose to Improve the
public roads," and provide for 'inves.
legations and experiments to determine
the best kinds of road material and the
best methods of road building" In a
recent article Representative Brownlow
says:
My own individual opinion is that
some OF the principal thoroughfares
ought to be macadamized. Well in.
formed road experts have estimated
that il one-tenth of the road mileage
of the country were macadamized and
the other nine-tenths were improved
in other and cheaper ways. using the
best local materials available, the cost
of hauling the farm products of the
United States to market would be re
duced one-half."
If this estimate is correct, the saving
| to the farmers would be enormous, and
would in a few years be sufficient tC
cover the entire expense of making
the improvements. Besides lessening
the cost of hauling good roads will
bring the people of the rural district:

ATTRACTIVE FARM LAWNS.
There Is No Reason Why Every Door

Nothing so beauties a dwelling as

farmer and his family should not en-
JOY the possession of an attractive door
yard, since every facility is at hand
for grading, planting and keeping a
pretty lawn. The dwelling should, il
possible, be located on a slightly ell
evated knoll. but often the site has
already been selected and the building
erected in which case it may be neces-
sary to grade to the desired elevation.
One can not endure low sloppy door

around the house should be higher than
at the outer edge of the yard. Early
spring is the best time TO SOW the grass

al favorite for lawns. This should be
very thickly sown to produce mat the
first season. If, however, one sue
ceeds in getting a fair, even stand,
he need have no concern regarding the
lack of density as this grass thickens
up from year to year. In arranging
the lawn, have very few shrubs or
trees in the center, There should be
planted at the outer edge, preferably
at the rear and sides of the building.

Everybody is Tired--Spring
Weather Does lt-EveryOne
Should Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tions, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep. Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied pe.u iarities. Peruna
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigor-
ating cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to it's priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1900 w. 18th street,
Des Moines, Ia, writes: :" am happy to

ging a hole for a tree without moving
the tripod. 1t might be possible if the
tripod were SO large as to give ample
room for the operation of digging. In
such a case It would be too unweildy
to move easily.
Lowering a weight down by the side
of the trunk TO ascertain when the tree
is in the right place is likely to prove
somewhat tedious If there are any
branches on the tree to interfere. The
accompanying diagram shows what has
proved to be most satisfactory device
for getting the tree exactly where the
stale originally stood. 1t consists OF
board perhaps six feet long with a
hole in either end and deep notch in
the middle.
The land In which the trees are to
be planted Is first laid off in rows with
small stake where each tree Is to
stand The board just described is
placed on the ground so that the notch
fits over the stake. A small stake Is
driven through each of the holes in
the ends of the board. The board is
removed and the hole dug for the tree
While this is being done the measur-
ing board may be used to set the guide
stakes for other holes,
When everything is ready to set the
tree. put the board back in place again
place the tree in the hole so that II
fits in the notch, and fill in the soil
The result will be that the tree stands
just where the original stake did
If planting is being done on a large
scale, there may be half dozen OF
more of the measuring boards. If they
are all of the same dimensions it will
make no difference whether or not the
same one is used in setting the tire,

were set-F c. Sears, in Orange judo
