Road Maintenance

Some have an idea that the perma-
nent roads, so called, will or ought 10
last forever without any repairs he
cause they. cost SO much to build.
With that same Kind of reasoning we
would have right to expect that n
modern thrashing machine that costs
several thousand times as much as the
old fashioned fail ought to last forever
without cent expended for repairs.
And that. while violin that costs So
has to be tuned and have new strings,
one costing thousand dollars should
never need new strings and should be
ways stay in tune. a good road is
worth, for business or pleasure. sew
eral times as much as bad road, and
some portion of this we can afford to
eXpend in keeping it in good condition.

upon its being kept In perfect repair

IT seems to us that wise thing
to do Just at this time would be to
call the people of the city together
in a special meeting and invite the
business men to attend that the
question of fire protection might

our property may be made as safe
as possible from the ravages of
devasting flames. This is truly a
serious question, and one that is
worthy of serious consideration

surance rates will go so high
that they will be prohibitive; pi o.

ton. Secure more hose, hydrants
and a chemical fire engine, one
that is up to date, if the city must

to act. Don't wait until the horse
is stolen to lock the barn DOR, or
the city has burned down before
securing fire protection, but do it
now and do it quick.

Spraying With Bordeaux.
In spraying experiments reported by
W. NJ. Scott of the bureau Of plant III
duStry. the bordeaux mixture used IN
the experiments was composed OF hNc
pounds Of copper sulphate, five pounds
of lime and fifty gallons of water 1t
Is shown that bitter rot can be con
trollcd by four applications Of Dor
dcauX mixture if applied at the proper
times and in thorough manner. The
first application should be made about
five or six weeks after the trees bloom,
followed by others at intervals OF
about two weeks. by this method the
pXpcrimcnter was able to save from
D3 To 9S per cent of sound fruit on the
trees. while on adjoining trees that
were not sprayed the fruit was n total
loss.
In Hot, Moist Summers.
In dry, cool Seasons the intervals be
tween the later spraying may be IN
creased, while IN hot. moist summers
the intervals should be shortened and
the number of applications Increased.
If for any reason the spraying Is not
begun until after the bitter rot has
made It's appearance on the young
fruit the trees should he given at in
teryals Of only n few days two thor
