mercial standpoint this method of prop agation Is one of the most important. Forms of hardwood cuttings are:
 Single Cutting.-The most common form of hardwood cutting is that usu- ally employed in propagating the grape and currant GA in the cut. Such cutting consists of straight portion of a shoot or cane nearly uniform in size throughout and containing two or more buds. At the lower end 1t is usually cut off just below bud. be- cause roots develop most readily from the joints. At the top 1t is usually cut off some distance above the highest bud.
 The Heel Cutting-A cutting of this form. B. consists of the lower portion of branch containing two or more buds. cut off from the parent branch in such manner as to carry with it small portion of that branch forming the so called heel"
 The Mallet Cutting.-A cutting of this form is produced by severing the par ent branch above and below the shoot, so as to leave a section of it on the base of the cutting, c.
 The principal advantage in the use of heel and mallet cuttings lies in the greater certainty of developing roots. The principal drawback is that only one cutting can be made from each lateral branch.
 Single Eye Cuttings O).-When it is desired to make a large number of cuttings from limited supply of stock, cuttings are made containing but one bud each. Such cuttings are commonly started under glass with bottom heat either in greenhouse or hotbed They may be set either in horizontal position, with the bud on the upper side, or perpendicularly. In either case the bud is placed about an inch below the surface of the ground in soil which should be kept uniformly moist
 Cuttings are usually made with two or more buds. The cuttings are made while the wood is dormant during the fall or early winter. AS fast as made they are tied in bundles of twenty-five or fifty Quits all one way and buried bottom end up in trench and cover ed to a depth of two or three inches with sand or mellow soil This pro- tects the top buds from freezing and gives the butts the benefit of the warmth of the sun in the spring. thus stimulating root development. Cut tings may also be kept over winter in a cool cellar. buried in sand. sawdust or moss. The following spring the bundles are taken up and the cuttings set-L. c. Corbett

Good Road Notes

A writer in an English automobile paper claims that roads could be kept permanently damp by the application of strong solutions of calcium chloride or magnesium chloride and that this would be cheaper than oils and with out their objectionable odors.
 There is nothing connected with the occupation of farming that costs the farmer so much actual cash from year to year as bad road.
 A society for the prevention of dust on roads has been formed in Germany.
 Good Roads Magazine says that in New Jersey. Massachusetts and other good roads states it Is very noticeable how sections are building up along the lines of improved roads.

RAISED VALUE OF FARMS.
Results of Improving n Highway In
 Missouri County.


 At recent good roads convention held In Missouri Mrs. W. l.. Geiger, practical farmer, owning and operating a large place In Douglas county told how bad roads affected her business in- terests.
 When I took hold of the farm" she said, "I found large portions practical ly useless for cultivation on account of lack of drainage. Water gathered there frcm all sides An old Confed- crate soldier, neighbor, explained to me how to overcome the effect, and now I have we'll drained farm with four miles of drains.
 When 1 offered the place for sale an agent looked it over He said, If there were a good road leading to West Plains, our trading town, the farm would be worth $75 an acre. l could sell it for that And others told me the same.
 'The road to West Plains was nearly impossible, and their interest in the place decreased visibly after the drive from town. Many time my vehicle was mud bound for an hour or more until some good neighbor helped me out Last year $1 800 was raised by subscription and work begun on the worst part of the highway. It isn't a good road yet, of course. but it's far better than ever before. There is bet ter demand for farms. Some l know of that were offered for S15 an acre last year have been sold for $20 an acre"
 Why shouldn't the women help in the good roads work ?' she said There is good opportunity and purpose for women's clubs. They could do great work.

Would Increase Farm Values.

A well known civil engineer. Profess or Thomas Mechanism of Illinois. an expert roadmaker, estimates that thor ough draining alone of prairie roads would make enough difference in them to add $15 an acre to the best farm in central Illinois, and Professor Jere- miah w Jenks, Ph. D.. in Road Leg islation For the American State" ob serves: Judging from the increased value of all farm lands situated near cities or large towns, if the road to the town is good one it is hardly ex- travagant to say that two-thirds of the farms In the Mississippi valley, of which the present value is from $40 to $50 an acre, would be increased In value to the extent of $10 an acre If good roads were made by them"

what good road really is. One Of these sample highways was built near a Missouri town as follows:
 First, the entire roadway between the fences was leveled. This was mostly done by pick and shovel work, although the blow was used on the sides Then the road was given it's proper arch and drainage. after which the center of the road for a width of nine feet was dug out to depth of nine inches. In this trench were laid stones about the size of an egg, and these are regarded as the foundation.
 On top of that was placed crushed rock about the size of the ends of your fingers and on top of that the surface of screened crushed rock. Each of these layers was rolled by steam roller as it was put down. The soft earth at the side was arranged to car ry off the water, and the road was finished. With the proper maintenance it will last as long as a Roman road.
