Effect of Good and Bad Roads.

In issuing a call for a State good
roads meeting that was held at Louis
vile last fall Governor Augustus E.
Wilson, of Kentucky, said:
''There is nothing which hurts the
people more or costs the people more Or
keeps them back more than bad roads.
They make it hard to leave home, hard
to gel back, hard to haul, hard to visit,
hard to get to heaven sometimes. There
is nothing that man can think of that
will do more to help the people than
good roads, which make it easy to travel,
easy to bring goods home, easy to haul
your produce and manufactures to mar
ket, easy to go to school and church and
easy to avoid many bitter thoughts that
bad roads cause.'
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
Flowering of Wistarias.

1t is quite common for those who have
Chinese wistaria vines to wonder why
it is that the vines are so long coming
into Towering condition, and sometimes
it is surmised that there may be more
than one variety of it. AS nearly all
the vines of it sold are seedlings it is not
unlikely there may be some variation in
their character, but the fact is that this
vine takes half dozen or more years
before it begins to bear, often longer,
and, too, it's Towering largely depends on
where it is planted. If in a position fa-
vorable to extensive growth there will
be more years passed before Towering
than there would be were the position
one where growth was hampered in the
way of supports for lengthy growth.
Tied to stake or grown as a bush it
flowers much sooner than if set to reach
the top of a three story building. While
there is work to do in the way of grow
ing, there is little disposition to flower,
and the differences displayed in time of
Towering that so many notice is more
likely to come from the causes named
than from any variation in the species.
When flowers are preferred to extern
sive growth, it is very likely that root
pruning vine would cause the flowers
to appear if the vine is of some age and
apparently of size that it would
flower.
Mentioning variations, it seems un-
questioned that seedlings are often of a
lighter color than their parents In
stances of seedlings almost white have
been noticed, and thus there is one va
riety quite white, in cultivation, and
presumably it is a Seeding.
When wistarias are transplanted they
should be cut back severely. They rare
ly fail to grow then. When poorly
rooted and carrying heavy top they
are very slow in breaking afresh, yet
rarely die outright. Many cases have
been noted where large plants remained
dormant whole season after trans
planting, pushing their growth year
later, then thriving we'll.

These buds were put in in May. One
year from that time, the first tree
bloomed and set a cluster of eight grape

The kumquat tree also bore crop of
the little spicy fruits. In the spring of
the following year, two years from the
time the buds were put in, both trees
bore full crop, grapefruit and oranges

Some Successful Experiments in Budding
Large Trees.
By c.. r. Ross.

y
ing land for a citrus grove. In this por-
tion OF the State, nearly everyone has
small nursery, sufficient for his own
planting and usually large enough to
supply few trees tc newcomers who
are anxious to get quick start. Many
even plant the seed in the field where
the trees are to stand, bud the seedlings
and afterwards thin to the strongest and
best tree. This method of small nur-
series is a good one The trees stand
transplanting much better than to ship
from distance, as there are no soil and
climatic differences to be taken into con-
sideration. The possibility of introduc
ing insect pests is lessened and the ex
pense for trees is reduced to a minimum.
L had had no experience at that time
and was anxious to get out few trees
| at once so patronized one of the small
home nurseries. | bought two dozen or.
| ange and grapefruit trees and my neigE
Dor very kindly threw in for good meas
ure two lime trees which [ had admired.
| These trees were two years old at the
time and while they had been neglected,
they had good top growth and looked
very fine to my inexperienced eyes. I
trimmed them back to bushy top and
| planted them near the house for orna-
mentals. BY care in planting and liberal
watering, the trees lived and did not
even drop their leaves.
For a time they grew very thriftily,
but finally the scale attacked them and
! in it's wake came the red spider and
the mealy bug. [ used kerosene emul-
sion and sulphur for their various
troubles and succeeded in freeing them
from insect pests, but they seemed to
have received setback and it required
constant Watchfulness to keep them
clean. The thick top of lime tree in
vites scale and will harbor insects under
the most favorable conditions.
After three years, [ had acquired some
knowledge of citrus trees and budding,
and decided to change these trees to
something more profitable. I was unable
to get a bud to take near the base of the
first tree, as the bark was hard and
thick, so determined to top-work the
tree-sOmething uncommon in the citrus
business, in this section at least The
first tree, [ trimmed up to three main
branches and put in two grapefruit buds
and one orange bud, five feet above
the ground, using the ordinary method of
budding, i. e., slit in the bark up and
down the branch, one across and bud
cut from one year wood inserted and COW
cred with wax cloth.
The operation is not difficult, and lit
tie experimenting will make perfect.
The second tree was not as large and
the bark was more tender, so [ tried two
kumquat buds, one below the other and
about two feet from base of tree. Ordi-
narily these are harder to put in than
either grapefruit or orange buds, but in
this case [ was successful and all five of
my buds grew off nicely.
For some time it was necessary to cut
off the sprouts from the old tree which
would put out below the buds, but as
the new top began to get some size, it
seemed able to take all the nourishment

SUMMER PETTICOATS MADE
WITH THE ADDITION OF
SILK RUFFLE.

Last summer it was the custom to
button 10 the under side of your lingerie
petticoat rUffie Of silk. The idea was
that the skirt itself could be quite wash
aole, but that the ruffe, the stineaing
and the mainstay Of the garment, could
be detachable and could, therefore, be
worn for several weeks without a visit
to the cleaner.

Lingerie Affairs Larges- AA'>-

While a pettcoat IS not worn by the
majority Of girls under a lined skirt.
1t must be worn under an unlined skirt.
Girls who go out much In the evening
have discarded lingerie petucoats for
simple ones made OF messaline. They
are less apt 20 tear and embarrass one
while dancing. High heels VIII catch
in lace runles and the result is a tum-
bic or yards OF lace dragging on the
floor.
The shops offer resdy-made messaline
petticoats as the most serviceable kind
for all unlined skirts for indoor wear,
as well as for those girls who VIII nos
discard petticOats no matter what the
fashion Is. These are found IN all light
colOrs that match the frOcks. although
il is not incorrect to wear a contrasting
color il the contrast is not too violent
such petticoats are excellent under
the slightly long afternoon and evening
skirts OF Opaque cloth, for they can be
cut OF at the ankles at exactly even
length and the skirt held I'D to show
a pair Of well shod feet
A gown Of transparent material must
carry lining and therefore does not
need a petticoat.
A word as to the making Of these mes
saline petticoats might be helpful to
those who sew at home Instead OF buy
ing ready-made garments.
They should be cut OF at ankle length
Those that sweep the hoor are a nui-
