Light In Weight, Easy to Use and
More Effective Than Any Other
Implement on Farm.
CBy =. N. BENN1NGroNl

(By l.. M. BENNINGTON)
SO many people have a horror of
using hoe. II is the most comfort
able implement to use in the equip
ment of a gardener or farmer, and II
is handy to use for so many purposes
that one cannot get along without IL.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as a hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleas
ant implement with which to work.
The good gardener will keep his favor
lite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. II is impossible to grind hoe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side of the blade
when it is in use, in order to make
the hoe bite into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade. Then keep 1t bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing is not much like hard work.
In hoeing, a long, slow movement
should be made, II the soil is in good
condition. Simply Scouting" half an
inch of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds and one can go over a lot OF
ground in one day if the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With sharp hoe one can cut this
ties, dock, dandelions and other nox-
ious weeds, with quickness, dispatch
and ease 1t is light to handle, easy
. to use, and more effective than any
other implement for many purposes.
In choosing a hoe, select, one the
blade of which lies, not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect,
with the hoe handle extending from
your hands when in working position
to the floor. The heel of the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position.
Such hoe will bite into the soil
easily, when it is bright and sharp and
will work smoothly and effectively.
Sharpen the hoe as soon as it gets
noticeably dull. This will be hard on
the hoe. but it saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry small fiat file in
your pocket and do not allow a nick
to stay in the hoe a minute after 1t is
made.

ROAD

English Country Residents Enjoy Good

In England the highest ambition OF

their business reaches such a point as

minute they acquire sufficient means

in very early times none we're worse,
and these country residents are never

ENTITLED TO A GOOD ROAD

Despise not the road drag. but crit.
icize yourself either for not knowing
how to use it. or for not using it when
you do know how, simply because you

entitled to a good road alongside of It.
and Is not a first-class farm unless
II has such a road. The farmer him

necessary drainage has been done at
public expense. Then II the farmer,

sentiment along this line will do more

city limits.
Has it ever occurred to landholders
in some of our own towns that good
roads to their lands would not only
bring those lands nearer the markets
they raise produce for, but would also
bring those lands nearer the city
where business men do business, make
them more available for residence and
increase their value? No man wants
to travel two or more miles every day
to and from the city where his bust
ness is located over such roads" as
we have found existing in various
parts of the country. No wonder the
state road" system has become so
popular. But many men would be glad
to drive their buggy or auto five or
even more miles every day If the roads
offered them were such that the drive
was a daily pleasure and did not put
them at an unreasonable distance from
their Offices In point of time.

Fishermen report that a number OF

on account of their small sizc. have
been taken in the last few days in the
fishing drops below the Aqueduct
bridge. A number Of these drops are
in the channel off Analostan island.
particularly off the point and further
down toward the steamship wharves.
There are many good places near the
steel works, the locations of which VIII
gladly be told by any OF the neighbor-
ing watermen- The rock seem to be
taking almost any kind of bait. Worms,
cut bait and crabs have gotten results,
although the totals of the catches are
not what the old timers speak Of. In
these parlous times, almost anything
seems good.
About a dozen medium sized bass
were taken in Little river yesterday.
It is surprising that more Of the bass
fishermen do not take a fall out of the
fishing at this place, soon to be ---di-
fed BY the work of the engineer corps.
There are many likely places in Little
river for a bass to lurk and dream Of
days when there was plenty of bait
offered, and the skilful angler should
find a particular delight in having his
