HOW TO CUT ROSES

There is right and wrong way
TO cut roses. The choice of the latter
may seriously injure the BLOSSOM
producing properties of the plants, 1t
Is pointed out by specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul
tire. This applies particularly, of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially for cut-hower pro.
duction. Such roses will be largely
of, the perpetual blooming sorts.
When rose is cut from such
plants--tea roses or other perpetual
bloomers-only two or three eyes of
The current seasons growth of that
branch should he left on the plant.
This should give the roses very long
stems. Succeeding blossoms should
he cut close to the ground. 1t will
seem like destroying the bush to take
so much oi it. but If sthe object ia
the production of roses, the cutting
away of the surplus wood will attain
the desired end.
If the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
20 have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. With this
character of growth only one or two
s'rong leaf buds should be left on
the branch when the flower is cut, so
70 to stimulate as much growth as
possible from the base of the plant.
The greatest temptation to leave
wood Is where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
temptation to follow bad practice
t"n be avoided by pinching off all
side shoots after bud has formed on
the end of branch. This prevents
the formation of two or more buds
on one stalk. This summer pruning

varieties which bloom more than

sense of comparing benefits with eX-
prnSc.
There is often difference of
opinion as to the wisdom of improv-
ing roads to facilitate transportation,
but no question exists when II bridge
j. gone as To whether or not another
should be supplied. Perhaps the most
striking incident reminding lis of the
Importance of these structures was
the flood of 1913. Most of us recall
having been seriously inconvcnicnced
at that time, though there were but
Il comparatively few of the total num-
her of structures destroyed or rendered
unserviceabe. The public bridge loss
was estimated to have been something
more than S,OO0.OOO in the state of
Chic.
Public records have not in the post
been sufficiently well kept to make
possible an accurate statement as to
the cost of existing highway bridges.
Estimating the capital represented III
bridges and culvertS from an appraisal
of structures on 500 miles of high
ways, we have approximately $1,000
per mile. or say a total of S125.OOO.
600 in the State of Ohio. This sum
amounts to about $40 per capita, or
six times the per capita cost of the
iannma Canal. Although this amount
appears large. it would seem that the
service rendered to the citi2cms of Ohio
hy the bridges Of the state is easily
six times that of the other mentioned
Npradi. .urs.
Another thought suggests itself
when we reflect upon the capital in
vested in highway bridges. namely,
that of having the design. conStruc-
ton and maintenance in charge of
able and experienced men.
The sum above mentioned. if di-
vided equally among the SS counties
OF the State. would amount to about
$1,+0O,O00 per county. surely quite
enough to demand careful attention.
tIIe maintenance feature alone affords
plenty of opportunity for those in
charge to save or lose the county sew
eral times their own salary. This is
apparent when we remember that one
per cent of the total investment
amount to $4,000.
Covered wooden bridges have stood
more than eighty years in this State,
yet If they are not kept well rooted,
they will fail from decay in less than
onefourth of that time Iron and
