STATE ROAD Improvement.
Radical Changes Recommended to
New York Legislature.

Radical changes in the methods Of
construction. supervising and main
tanning highways in New York state
are recommended in the report recent
ly transmitted to the legislature by
the special legislative highway investi-
eating committee appointed by the leg
islature
The more important recommended
tons are:
The creation Of a department of
highways, to consist of three members
appointed by the governor. to have su-
pervision of highways. now in the
hands of the state engineer.
The republication Of all existing
highway laws into one statute and the
repeal Of all existing laws on this sub
ject
The establishment of four systems
of highway construction. representing
two now unknown in this state and
continuing in force the present Higbe-
Armstrong and FullerPlank systems.
OF the four systems Of construction
proposed perhaps the most radical is
the first. which provides for the con-
struction of thirty-fve trunk highways.
connecting the larger localities of the
state and to be built entirely at the
expense of the state. At present the
state does not undertake the coustruc-
ton of any roads unless the county
and towns pay a proportionate share.
These thirty-five trunk routes would
extend to all parts of the state.
The second and third systems are
the present igbieArmstrong and
Fuller systems. which have long been
in operation. The fourth Is what is
known as the French system and pro-
vides for the construction of purely To-
cal roads. the expense to be borne by
the counties and towns. the state TAX
ing no share of the burden.
A bill accompanies the report. but re-
lates only to the highway code. Pro
vision is made for the imposition Of a
provisional tax on automobiles to de-
fray the cost of maintenance.

Good Work In Illinois,

President Miller of the Galva oily
Good Roads association stated recently
that over twenty-five miles Of road had
been graded and as much dragged I'M
der the auspices Of that organization.
He said further: I'VE have specimens
of road where the grade was complet-
ed in this manner and draintile land
where the water line was within one
foot Of the surface and through which
for many years people waded hub deep
in mud in the spring and sometimes in
the fall when it rained. But these por-
tons OF the road are now firm and as
good as any we have" He also stated
that the highway commissioners had
been making contracts with the farm
ers for dragging their roads at IS 4
mile and that the cash system of road
working is heartily approved by both
the taxpayers and road users.

The Queens Lessc n,

late Queen Victoria had very bright
little daughter about four years old
and of whom the queen was very fond
The queen invited the child to have
lunch with her. OF course the mother
was highly pleased and charged the lit

table manners and to be very polite to
the queen.
The little girl came home in high
glee, and the mother asked her all
about the luncheon. "Were you very
polite little girl? And did you remem-

passing over them. going out and re-
turning to the factory. generally at
high speed; heavy traffic of large

other vehicles. Naturally these drives

Much experimenting has been done.
and the factory people say they have

BACK YARD Improvement.
Timely Suggestions From an Old Gar
dener-vines to Hide Fences.


dener-vines to Hide Fences.
Well kept grounds in the front of
houses help wonderfully in making a
town attractive. But the back yards
should by no means be neglected., and
an old gardener gives some good ad
vice about improving them which is
timely at this season Of the year:
Have you back yard? Grow
something in it. See something grow
which you have planted with your OWL
hands. No back yard Is SO small tina,
it may not be made to grow something
for the table. and if it happens to be q
vacant lot you will be surprised at the
quantities it may be made to yield un
der little daily attention and some
nightly planning. If your back yarC
consists of only few square yards
that fact need not deter you from en-
tering upon the joys of the gardener
If the area at your disposal IS limited
the time and attention required will
be correspondingly small. though the
pleasure it may afford will continue
throughout the season.
"Anybody can grow radishes ant
lettuce, and almost anybody can ca
them, too. so plant these first. They
are prompt in their payment Of divi
dends Of pleasure, for their first greer
paired leaves will appear in three OF
four days, and your heartiness of wei
come for them will do you vastly more
good than the possession Of two nick
els spent for their seed.
"If you have only few square
yards at your disposal, spade it up al
any time in early spring. If the lot is
large enough to admit Of team, have
1t plOwed once year In the spring OF
fall. Plant everything in rows the
long way Of the plot. Even put your
lettuce and radishes in rows. This
will admit the greatest ease in cultiva
ton; but, more important still, this
method will permit of the most read!
substitution by subsequently planting
other crops when the first have beer
consumed.
"For example, If your lettuce is one
long row instead Of occupying rec
by the town farmer, when it is ne
longer tender, crisp and sweet you car
clean up the whole row and PLAN
beans in its place or anything elst
suitable to the narrow space of one
row.
"a high board fence IS an eyesore
yet many people are unwilling to cover
1t with vines. because sooner or later
these will cause the wood to decay
The thing to do is to put up CHECKER
wire in front Of the fence and grow the
vines on the wire.
Foliage vines, except English Ivy
are good for this purpose. Virginia
creeper and ampelopsis are two of The
best of these Vines with abundant
foliage make good background fol
COSMOS, hollyhocks, single dahlias an(
other flowers that require support
These can be tied to the wire as theI
grow, or else Towering annual vines
can be planted each year-cyprcss
vine, morning glory, climbing nastur
tiums or sweet peas for beauty. Fol

cd gourd seeds. Ten cents worth viii
provide as many dollars worth Of sur
prise and entertainment.
"Of course your little garden will be
a delight, but it will never be so allur
ing as to tempt you to spend more thar
the necessary labor or cash upon It,"

Road Maintenance Scheme.

County Engineer George f. Horton
of Houston. Tex. has introduced the
stitch in time system on the roads I'M
der his supervision. Inspectors are en-
ployed by the month whose duty it IS
to patrol the roads at regular intervals
and repair all damaged places and care
for the bitches and culverts. Stations
are established along the highways
where supplies are stored 1t is expect
ed that this method of maintenance
will prove far less expensive and keep
the roads in better condition than the
old way of leaving them until they re-
qulre almost entire rebuilding.
