The fruit grower should know the
name of every tree in his orchard.
Several methods are employed for this
purpose. Many orchardists use labels,
but they fade out, and ii attached by
string are often lost. while wire fasten-
ings work into the wood. A convent
lent plan, says the Midland Farmer,
is to make out a rough map of the or
chard with good paper and ink, show
ing the location of all varieties, with
age. date of planting, name of nursery
and other useful notes. If such map
is kept with the same care as other
valuable papers, it will prove great
help.

MORE ABOUT DRAG
Ohio Man Tells Of Good Work of
This and Other I'm.
plements.
SHOULD AIM AT HARD ROADS
Cost is Exaggerated and Permanent
Improvement Pays Where Land
is High in Price.

d. c. Lyon of Georgetown, Ohio,
writing the Bloomington Paragraph,
the most persistent road drag advo-
cate in Illinois says:
Il note with a great deal of interest
the fact that your people are trying to
improve your roads, and feel sure that
the dragging plan is a good one from
what | have observed of it during the
five seasons farmers institute work
in Missouri. | have seen roads there
where the improvement after a single
seasons test of the drag was SO mark
ed that it converted the most skeptical
opponents of the system.
THE split log drag, or some modifi
cation of it, is the best implement to
use, as it crowds the dirt to the center
and makes drainage from the surface
so much easier, but do not let the fact
that You have no regular road dra5
keep you from working along the same
plan. A plank field drag made to crush
clods with does good work and even
the farm harrow drawn up and down
the road will improve it a great deaI
by Fastening its drying out. l hearo
one great road dragging advocate say
that dead horse or COW dragged down
the road made him a convert to the
road drag when he was a boy, as he
noticed that where the carcass was
drawn along the road was in good
shape days before the rest of the ROAD.
Cost is Exaggerated.
Personally | advocate hard roads in
any section where the sale value or
farm lands is over $50 per acre. I
know the objections urged against such
roads where material has to be bought
and transported by rail, but the cost
is very apt to be exaggerated by those
who are not familiar with the cost or
making hard roads. Good hard roads
ought to be made in any section such
as yours, where little grading is to be
done, at very moderate cost.
Here in Brown county, Ohio, where
the average selling value of land is less
that $50 per acre, and grading to be
done that in many cases costs more
than the road itself. we have $50 miles
of II to Is feet wide hard roads built
at cost of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile. In your county where the sell
ing value of land will average over
500 per acre, a fiat tax of 81 per acre
per year for II years, will gridiron
your county with roads you can traveI
any day or night in the year and you
will never miss the money.
Farmers of Illinois, you build the
boulevards in Chicago where a single
square rod costs hundreds of dollars.
why not build roads at home where
travel will be pleasure and farm life
a delight"

THE HUMOROUS KUBUS.
They Live In Sumatra and Are the
Shfest People Alive.

There is a very singular race of peo-
pie in Sumatra. the Kubus, who are too
timorous and shy to mix with the other
races of the island and dwell in the re-
cesses of the forests. They are looked
on as interiors by the Malays and
thought to be little better than beasts.
Such is their shyness that they will
never willingly face a stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans is con-
sequently carried on in strange man
ner. The trader announces his arrival
by beating a gong, and he then retires.
The Kubus approach, put their forest
treasures on the ground, beat q gong
and retreat The trader returns and
lays his commodities down in quaint
ties sufficient, as he thinks, for the pur-
chase of the goods on sale. Then he re-
tires, and the Kubus reappear and con-
slider the bargain.
And so, after more Withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re-
spective parties come to an understand
ing and carry off independently their
bargains. The Kubus in their wild
state do not bury their dead. They live
on snakes, grubs, fruits and the flesh
o. any deer or pigs they can Stay. They
are skillful spearmen and throw stones
with marvellous accuracy.-Pall Mall
Gazette.
