and is n dangerous thing toneglect.forit

WASTE ROAD BUILDING FUNDS
Department of Agriculture Points Out
Need of Constructing the Right
Kind of Roads.
Tho oflico of public roads of tho de
partment of ngriculturo Is making a
strong effort to focus tho mind of Mie
country on the fact that inalntoanco
and offectlvo repair are of t-qual Importance-
with the actunl Improvement
of bad roads. Investment of money
in new roads does not become real
economy until provlBion Is mado for
keeping these now roads In condition
after they are built. If a now road
was built and then allowed to fall Into
disrepair, much of the original in
vestment Is simply wasted.
Europe, generally speaking, 1b nhcad
of the United States In tho matter
of road improvement, but Croat
Urltaln is struggling with a problem
similar to tho ono that confronts tho
peoplo of tho United States. In Eng
land, Scotland and Wales there are no
fewer than 2,140 soparato authorities r
who between them, administer 175,487
miles of roads, or an average of only
82 miles aplcco. In Scotland, apart
from tho big cities there nro over
200 burghs, one-half of which have but
ten miles of road aplcco to maintain.
Needless to say, such n mlnuto mile
ago Is insufllclont to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around, and renders the employment
of a skilled engineer Impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials of tho oflico of public roads
when called upon for assistance by the
various states aro pointing out that
road building la an art based on a
Bclenco, and that trained men and ex
perienced men aro necessary to so
euro the best results from the expendi
ture of road funds.
Statisticians havo found that al
though tho avorago expenditure on tho
Improvement of roads exceeds ono mil
lion dollars a day, a largo portion of
tho money in the United States 1b
wasted because of tho failure to build
tho right typo of road to, meot tho
local requirements or tho failuro to
provldo for tho continued maintenance
of tho improvement.
Tho various states and counties
within the past six months havo
taken a greater interest In road im
provement thnn over beforo In the
history of tho United tSatcs, nnd thero
la now n strong movement to con
sorvo the roads of tho country where
they aro Improvod. Scientlllo mainte
nance will bo ono of tho chief fea
tures of tho work of tho oflico of pub
lic road? throughout tho present year.

Good Roads.
Tho making of good roads Is one of
tho most Important dutios of tho
American peoplo, and tholr prompt
ropalr and careful maintenance la
osBontlal There Is probably no sub
Joct in which tho progroBsivo farmer
is more deoply interested than that
of having roads connecting him with
his markets over which ho may bo
able to haul the groatcat posslblo load.
Good roadB, llko all othor good things,
aro too expensive to build and of too
much value to bo neglected.

EXPERIMENTS TO CONTROL THE PEACH SPOT

The peach fruit spot first appears
on the fruit an a daik brownish or
black speck about tho olzo of a pin
head, says a wrltor in tho Farmpr's
Review. In a fow weokn it grows one
eighth to oncMiimrter of an inch In dia
meter nnd lo generally round. It then
haB a very dark, almost black center
around which la u dark brown ring,
and tho outer margin of the spot is
reddish in color.
Tho upper portion of the peach, as
It growB on tho troe, oeoma to bo af
fected more thnn tho lower portion.
This shows that very Hkoly the spores

upon which tho peucboB grow. Tho
trouble is alwayB worso in closely set
orchards whoro shade is dense, and it
h nlso found to bo worse in tho center
rather thnn on the outside, rowo of
Buch orchards. This 1b duo, no doubt,
to tho moro moist condition found In
bucIi orchards. A comparatively moist
season Ib undoubtedly moro favorable
for tho growth, of the fungus than a
dry one.
Careful Investigation nnd several
experiments havo been mado to de
termine when and what kind of spray
should be used to control tho peach
fruit spot, with the following conclu
sions: Spray in the fall with lime Bulphur

USEFUL NOTES ON
LATE GARDEN WORK
After Crops Are Removed All Old
Vines, Plants and Weeds
Should Be Removed.
It Is a vary good plan to mulch the
rhubarb plants with a lot of corn
stalkB or coarse grass. This will pro
tect the plants during tho winter, and
abio keep weeds from choking tho
plants if kept on after cultivation In
tho spring.
Unless great care Is taken in tho
selection of home-grown seed, It Is
wiser to buy thom of a rollublo seed
'iouso.
After the crops are, all romovoa
dom tho garden, rako up all old vlneB,
plants and, weeds of ovory descrip
tion, and burn them.
Some peoplo Bay that It is bettor
to allow tho old vinos and even tho
weeds to rot on tho ground In tho
fall, but wo think It bettor to clean
up thoroughly and uso stable manuru
to supply tho necessary humus,
If weeds nro allowed to Ho in tho
garden over wintor, tho soedB will bo
ready for business In tho spring long
boforo It la tlmo to plant vegetables.
If celery Ib to bo brought Into a
storage house for tho winter, cut tho
tap-root, lift It from tho ground, and
then with a Btrong knifo cut off tho
branchlug rootB and most of tho
uarth.
If tho gardon is to havo a heavy
coat of mnnuro, why not apply It
now? Manuro Bhould be put on be
foro tho ground is turned over. In
the spring a good dlBktng or work
with a spado will put It in flno condl-dltlou.

I homemade llmo sulphur, twenty
pounds of lime and ilftcon pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons of water, can
be usdd with good results. If Dor-
' dcaux is used, make as follows: Use
four pounds of copper sulphate (blue
stone), flvo pounds of stone limo to
fifty gallons of water. First dissolve
the copper sulphato In either hot or
cold water; dlluto It by adding water
to make twenty-flvo gallons of tho
solution. Slack tho stono lime and
dlluto with water to twenty-flvo gal
lons, making a milk of lime. Pour tho
coppor Bulphntp and milk of llmo bo
lutlonn together into tho spray bar
rel or tank through a medium flno
Blove.
Apply either the lime sulphur or
Bordeaux sprays in the fall as soon
as most of tho leaves havo fallen.
This generally can bo done the latter
part of Octobor or the first part of
November. The writer prefers lime
sulphur to Bordeaux, but either will
control tho trouble If the spraying Is
thoroughly done. Do not pso a metal
spray tank for tho use of Bordeaux
unlesB it is lined or made of copper,
as It will eat into the metal.
Prune heavily In late winter to al
low tho sun to penetrate to the
branches and .leaven during tho sum
mer. If tho trees are set so closely
as to crowd, It would be well to cut
out every other one In tho rcva bo
that tho trees altornato In the towb.
REDUCING COST OF
FARM HORSE POWER
Too Few Animals Means That
Those in Hand Will Be Over
worked, Causing Loss.
The Blmploat way to reduce ihc cost
of farm horso power la to keep fewer
horses. No doubt many farms carry
moro horses than necessary to do tho
farm work, but If tho number Is re
duced to tho point where the farm
work cannot bo efficiently done more
eoiioua loss In tho other direction will
result. Too fow horses means that
those In hand will bo overworked, a
positlvo loss, or that somo work that
should be dono will bo slighted. It is
vory common, however, to find on
somo farms two, threo or moro Idle
horses right through tho busiest sea
son. It takes good judgment and much
oxperlonco to dotormlno tho correct di
viding lino, but it is a phase of tho
question well worth very careful con
sideration. Somo small farms curry machinery
too largo for Uio bIzo of tho farm. A
70-ticro farm, all tillable, has no busi
ness carrying machinery that requires
four horses for hauling. In that case
ono or two extra horses will bo Idle
tho larger part of tho year. Throe good
horses should do ull tho work on a
farm of that size, and tho extra horse
in eating up proflta. Big machlnory is
a, groat ndvantago on a largo farm, but
it 1 out of placo on a small farm.
