WONDERS OF SINGLE ACRE
What May Be Produced on Bit Of

You who think that it must be so
acres or nothing, will be surprised to
know that unless you are farming for
the markets and need pasture and sta
bles and grass land, you can almost
live on the crop that an aesse will will yield
you, writes Charles M. Skinner in Good
Housekeeping. 1t will require work
and care and knowledge, for you can
not spend your time at tennis and ex-
pect the weeds to stay out of your let
tuce, or the smut to affect your neigh
boris corn and not yours, or the cater
pillars to keep off from your pea vines,
or things to stay green after a month
of drouth. Now here, on this common
acre-for it is ordinary, being near the
sea and hummocked with rock the
lodges cropping into sight just outside
the fence-the farmer raises no end
OF beans, peas, onions and like mat
tiers, and strawberries to eat, to give
away and to sell. He has patriarchal
apple trees that yield bushels of fruit
His tomatoes supply his own family
various friends rejoice in them nc
less, while few pecks of them go to
town. His wife puts up so many fruits
and vegetables in jars that she has to
give them to relatives, and she seldom
visits her son in the city without car

A very practical hotbed may be con-

This will allow sufficient slope to tho
sashes to insure it's being rainproof.
Cover the top with sash (c), made
with Sx10 glass. Fill the bed with one
foot of coarse horse manure (a), which
has been cured under shelter and forked
over a number of times to insure its
being of the same fineness throughout.

GOOD ROADS.
They Need Not Necessarily Be Con-
structed of Stone-A Pres
emit Danger.

While good roads are of the utmost
Importance to the farmers themselves,
good roads do not necessarily spell
hard roads, as many hard roads advo-
Gates seem to imagine, says the Prai-
RE Farmer. A movement to better our
highways does not necessarily mean
that they are all to be surfaced with
stone, but there are indications that a
strict watch will be necessary to pre-
vent legislative bodies from putting
such a construction on the movement
when enacting laws in regard thereto.
Many of our roads can be greatly
improved over their present condition
by underdrainage and better grading.
These are the first essentials where a
hard surface is finally to be provided.
Proper underdrainage is Of the most
vital Importance during a rainy sea-
son. No road can remain good at such
times without it. In many cases the
work of grading up that is done during
the summer is very largely, and some
times entirely, annulled during the fol
Icing spring months because OF lack
of undertakings. Roads often be-
come impossible during the spring
months that would remain in fairly
good condition if proper drainage were
provided.
We can see no objection to federal
aid for road Improvement along these
lines, or why it is not just as proper and
important for the government to give
assistance in rendering an impossible
road passable and in rendering an al
ready fairly good road superfine.

of trees which have been girdled by

which lies just beneath the bark will
grow over if it is kept moist by bank

above the girdled portion. The soil
should be firmly tamped about the stem

is to wrap the wound with broad strip
