pier types of roads becomes readily
apparent. It should be observed in
this connection that large part Of
our total mileage Of public roads is en-
tirely unimproved and that the road
drag is Of little use in improving sand
or clay roads which have never been
crowned or drained. A much larger
part, however, has been sufficiently i'm
proved to make the work of the drag
effective, and it is unquestionably true
that the magnitude Of this part is
steadily increasing.
Notwithstanding the fact that road
drags, made of wood or a combination
Of wood and metal, have been in use
for at least two generations and were
described in text book published as
early as 1851, the benefits to be de-
rived from using them are, even now,
far from being generally understood.
This fact is thoroughly evidenced by
the prevalence Of very unsatisfactory
roads upon which considerably more
money Is annually expended in hauling
materials to fill holes and ruts than
would be required to maintain the
roads in good condition by the intelli-
gent use Of road drag.

GARDEN WITHIN HOME WALLS
Attractive Window Filling Adds Great
Iy to Appearance Of House,
Both Inside and Out,

When winter cOmpels us to bring il
our goldfish and water lilies from our
water garden and to tuck our roses in
under warm OvercOats and to mulch
the beds in the regular garden, we do
not cease to garden. For indoors we
have our window or winter garden.
It is part Of the life Of the home-an
essential part, we hold. 1t might well
be named "Everywoman's Conserva-
tory" because there is nothing in it
but what can be grown by every wom-
an, and yet it is satisfying and beau
tiful always. Every country or SUBJ
urban home can have one as good or
better, at small cost and in return for
a little care.
Our winter or window garden is
part of our living room, which faces
south. The room is lighted by dou-
bic window, sash Dimensions Of the
usual household size. There is slight
division between the two sections of
the double window.
A teachable carpenter did the work
readily from our rough ideas. The lit
tie bit of summer that we keep with
us through the winter is contained in
tiny conservatory, which is support
ed by strong wooden brackets and so
set against the house that it incloses
the opening made by taking out the
sash of our double windOw.-Estell

ALL SHOULD HAVE GARDENS
Cultivated Plots Mean Comparative
independence as Well as Adding
to Towns Attractiveness.

A friend Of ours who mixes the mu-
sic ofsdreams with the rattle and bang
and noise and clamor of life, 80 that
the one will soften and thus make
more endurable the other, has favor
lite theory Of combining smokestacks
with gardens, says writer in Los An
geles Times.
His idea Is for the wage Garner. It
is an idea through which the man who
depends on salary or a days pay
may place himself in a position of in
dependence. And it seems to us that
there can be no bigger or more i'm
p0rtant idea than this in all the philoso-
ply Of life.
What could be more sensible and
practicable than a scheme whereby
the wage Garner raises on a piece of
land near the city all, or nearly all,
that his family needs in the way Of
food, especially in this climate. That's
his greatest item Of expense-food.
Why not raise his own food in his own
garden?
By doing this his wages or his salary
from his job sooE becomes an income
something that he can lay away, put
in the savings bank, buy Liberty bonds
with, and all that.
or course, this means that he will
have little extra work to do outside
of his job, but, with system, and his
children to help, the work isn't great,
and it can really be made pleasure.

LOOK AFTER HOME GROUNDS
Farmhouse Is Attractive or the Re-
verse According to the State
of Its Surroundings.

Farmers just now have plenty Of
troubles: they are short Of help. and
much of the little help they are able
to obtain is poor and unreliable. The
women Of the family are working like
beavers; in fact the women on many
Of the farms along the roadside were
helping the men in addition to doing
their homework. The plucky spirit of
the women is unconQuerable.
Where there is successful farm
generally, if the real truth can be ar
rived at, very much of the credit will
be due to the spirit of a woman, who
in times of encouragement insists on
another and greater effort and who
sees that the men are up and doing
daily.
If women knew how cheaply and
with what little labor the home
grounds could be improved they would
see that the men made the necessary
effort, or more likely would themselves
do the work.
A house in the country, standing out
prominently, surrounded only by broad
fields. swept by the blasts Of winter
winds and consumed by the fire Of
the summer sun, with the barns and
outbuildings as the only piece Of land
scape, is surely lonesome place, to
be avoided. There is no comfort there.
Exchange.

PROTECT ROADS IN WINTER
Water and Not Cold IL Cause Of In.
Jury to Highways, Even Those Of
Best Construction,

The department of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that water and
not cold is the cause Of injury to roads
In winter, even those of the best con-
struction. It is obvious, therefore, that
it is matter Of econony, from every
point Of view, that roads should be as
dry as possible when winter comes on.
During the fall the rthd should be
carefully gone over and all ruts and
hollows that can hold water solidly
filed in to make the gambler Of the
road surface such that t will drain
quickly and thoroughly. Standing
pools at the side of the road should
also be drained, as they tend to soak
and soften the foundations Of the road,
which may result in bad "heaving"
when freeze comes.

HIGHWAY MODEL IS UNIQUE
Made to Show Just How Relocation Of
Roads 6etters Conditions In
Travelling.

The relocation Of old roads seems to
be something mysterious or uncanny
to SO many taxpayers that the Penn
sylvania highway department has had
an unusual model made to show con-
ditions. This model measures six by
five feet and was made by specialist
in such work at Washington. It is In
relief, with roads, fields, houses, trees
and other features of the landscape re-
produced to a correct scale. On 1t are
shown three types Of poorly located
roads frequently found and the proper
method Of relocating each SO as to pro-
vide satisfactory grades and connect
the terminal points in the most direct
The model also shows three
types of road construction.

Protect Fruit Trees From Rodents

Protect Fruit Trees From Rodents.
Thousands Of young fruit trees are
annually injured and many are killed
by mice and rabbits that gnaw the
trees just above the ground. Frequent
~ young trees are completely girdled.
This trouble can be largely avoided by
protecting the lower part Of the tree
trunk by banking it with earth late in
the fall or by wrapping the trunk with
building paper or even old newspaper.
Wood veneer and wire mesh tree
guards may be purchased in the mar
ket. One or more of these precautions
ought by all means to be taken as a
means of protecting the young tree.
A SIS or $40 tree can be protected and
saved by the use Of only little labor
and the expenditure Of only a few
cents for material.
