The cheap seeds cost most in the
end.
Radishes of eatable size can be
grown in hotbeds in 25 days.
Simplicity in the laying out of home
grounds should always be kept In
mind.
The best plan in cutting potatoes
for seed is to leave two eyes to each
piece.
Outside of the hotbed, all manure
used in the garden should be fine and
well rotted.
About so per cent of the fertllizing
constituents in feeds is returned In
the manures.
Mighty good time to get the accum
ulated manure out ON the fields. Some
people say better than winter
Early Deas should be in the ground
now. Try Alaska, Strategem, or Lit.
tie Gem If undecided as to variety.
Truck farmers and general farmers
growing some vegetables for market
should be more interested in alfalfa.
Sprouted beets or turnips from the
cellar may be set out In the garden to
make a crop of seeds for next fall or
spring.
It pays to take little time In max
ing rows in the garden. Long straight
ones will make an easier job of culti-
waiting.
Do not plow too early In the spring
Wait till the ground is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely
pulverized.
To start new rhubarb bed, plant
pieces OF roots that have one eye
each. Stalks should not be cut until
the second year.

IMPROVED ROADS IN THE U. S.
Rhode Island, Smallest State In Union,
Leads With Percentage Of
49.14-Few Facts,

Rhode Island, the smallest state in
the Union, with an area of only 1850
square miles, ranks first of all the
states in its percentage of improved
roads. Under the direction of Secre-
tary Wilson, a very comprehensive
statistical investigation of the mileage
and cost of public roads in the United
States has recently been completed by
the office of public roads, United
States department of agriculture. This
document reveals many interesting
facts. Thus, apparently. It is not be-
cause of her small size that Rhode
Island is able to boast of 49.14 per
cent. of improved roads, for Delaware
with an area of 2,050 square miles, has
only 622 per cent of improved roads.
On the other hand, Massachusetts,
with an area of 315 square miles has
40 per cent. of her roads improved or
very nearly the same percentage as
Rhode Island. The size of the state,
therefore, seems to have lite or no
effect on the percentage of improved
roads
The Investigations further show that
there are 2,199,6i5 miles of public
roads in continental United States. OF
this vast mileage, only 190,476. or S. sc
per cent, are classed as improved.
AS stated above, Rhode Island leads
with 49.14 per cent, of improved roads,
while Massachusetts is second with
40 per cent. Indiana follows with
367 per cent. Ohio, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Vermont and Cali
fornia follow in a descending order,
the latter having 1887 per cent. of i'm.
proved roads. The states of Wiscon.
sin, New York, Maryland, Utah, Ten.
nessee, South Carolina, Maine and
Michigan range In the order given
from 16 to 10 per cent.
Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia.
Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire
and Oregon have between and 10
per cent. of their roads improved OF
the % states with less than per cent.
Of improved roads, North Dakota
stands at the bottom with only 023
per cent. Secretary Wilson and Di.
rector Page. who is in charge Of the
Office of public roads, are ever at work
on the problems which confront the
road builders throughout the land, and
especially those problems which are
no frequently confronted by com.
