A third was made from an old hoe (c), cut two Inches wide. All these were kept sharpened by fil ing. They are not for deep or rough hoeing. They are used more as scrapes, to be drawn gently across rows. They cut grass and weeds and break the crust. Without these simple tools I do not see how I could have cleaned my crop out, as our little winter weeds set close to the ground were the great est trouble. Have plowed and hoed three times and feel with one more thorough working my crop will be made.—J. J. G»rmichael, in Farm and Home. THE LADY-BUG FAMILY. Its Memberr Are Ihp Frnlt Growers' Heat Friend* nnil Shoulil Never Be I>t>«(royeil. With their little red wrappers deco rated with black polka-dots, the various members of the lady-bug family are gay and attractive members of the insect world. They are always man's friend, and get most of their living by preying on the destructive soft-bodied plant lice, the most common of which is the green aphis, which can commonly be found on house plants and rose bushes. The most striking example of the usefulness of the lady-bug to the horticulturists is seen in the case of Vedalia cardinalis, the bug which was Imported from Australia and which saved the citrus trees of California by destroying the cottony-cushioned scale which was devastating the orange and lemon groves. In the study of the grain aphis it was found that a species of lady-bug preyed upon this pest. The former wereobserved togo down among the roots of the grain in the field in search of the aphides, and to pass the winter along with them in that situa tion. The larvae of the lady-bug also live principally upon Insects which are destructive to garden and field crops. T lie dainty lady-bug should never be destroyed.—Scientific American. POTATOMATO PLANT. It IleiirN Toniti to<>N Above and Pota toea liclou xi ikl In ii Triumph of Grafting Art. An anomaly in grafting, being a plant which is growing first-class potatoes at the roots and bearing fully developed tomatoes at the stalk, was brought about by Prof. Green, of the .Minnesota state school of agriculture, when he cut oft the young shoots of a potato vine, making a V-shaped slit in the top, into which he inserted a freshly clipped young tomato plant, bound the joint with straw and supported it by long rods. Nature did the rest. The tomato drew sustenance from the earth through the roots of the potato, and in return furnished what was re quired in the way of the action of light and air upon its own loaves to its adopt ed roots. The plant is now three months old. On pushing aside the earth several fair ly developed potatoes are shown, each a trifle larger than a large hen's egg. From the vines a half-dozen tomatoes are hanging, in different stages of ma turity. Several haw ripened and tha others promise to do so, as well. The tomato vine loses its identity at the place where the graft was made. There are no leaves at all suggestive of the potato. The vine is fully three feet high.—N. Y. Herald. Seirnare on the Fnrm.

OFFICIALLY INDORSED. Ohio HeiMihlloitiik nnd fleet Suuitr la- j dual ry Men Innnlmoua tor laood Honda. The progress that la being made by the good roads movement is indicated | by the action of state legislatures and conventions in favor of road improve ment. The action of the recent repub lican state convention In Ohio in unani mously adopting a Btrong good roads plajik indicates the force and popular ity which this movement has acquired in the north. This is the first time such a stand has been taken by Ohio republicans since the birth of the party. Mr. Charles F. Saylor, special agent of the government for the investiga tion of the sugar industry, who has traveled through nearly all the north ern and western states in the prosecu tion of his work, recently expressed the results of his observations as follows: "Probably no other subject of inter est to the rural population is receiving more attention throughout the nation than that of road improvement. One of the fundamental needs of society is a ready means of communication. The experiment stations of the country aro • now engaged in experimental work and actual demonstration with a view to stimulating the public mind and pro moting the best and cheapest systems of good road building with local mate rial, state legislatures are enacting bet ter laws, and in some cases the princi ple of state aid has been adopted. The federal government has established an office of public road inquiries in the department of agriculture. Literature has been prepared and distributed for the education of the people on this sub ject. "There is nothing that will work so effectually for good roads as necessity, the mother of invention. When a beet Bugar factory is established farmers at once discover the necessity of good roads. Agitation begins, public meet ings are held, and every public high way becomes the object of solicitous at tention. It is found that the farmer : requires at least four horses, and must deliver from two and a half to four tons of beets per load if he is to accomplish the best results in the saving of time and expense. Neighbors talk over road Improvement and the idea becomes in fectious. A public meeting is called, public roads are discussed, and an or- j ganlzatlon is effected which goes to work for the improvement of the roads. Among the interesting features of my work of promoting the progress of beet sugar industry, is attendance at these local meetings, at which roads and other subjects pertlnsnt to the needs of these beet-growing districts are consid ered. Permanent road building is one of the most important matters com monly discussed." Reports from all sections Indicate that the question of road Improvement Is one of the most popular subjects of discussion in farmers' meetings of all kinds, and state and national aid are being generally indorsed. The farm ers are beginning to see that they have not received their share of attention from the national government, and to demand substantial recognition in the way of federal aid and cooperation in the improvement of the rural highways. THE QUIET FARM LIFE. There Are llHt Few Fatlnrpn, Mural or Financial, Abioiik the Tillers of the Soil. I would not try to make every boy a farmer, or every girl a farmer's wife, but it does seem to me that we should Impress upon the children that, while the opportunities to make great for tunes will not often open to them on the farm, there are less failures among those engaged in our business than any other. When we read eulogies on the captains of industry, who have accumu lated fortunes in mining, commerce and manufacturing, we do not hear of the poor, miserable privates who have [alien by the wayside, financial, moral and physical wrecks. Do not teach the children that life's pathway is strewn with thorns and brambles in all directions. Too much leaching has already gone forth, and j the masses arc pushing, crushing, surg ing and jostling against each other, even to madness and destruction. Still, in all this wild rush, we occasionally see individuals - who are quietly and gently, with a pleasant word and smile, making their way through the seething mass of humanity, almost without dis turbing it, and reaching the desired goal. "As sorrow and weeping may en dure for the night, but joy cometh In the morning." so will peace come with earnest, conscientious effort, accompa nied with consideration for others.— Carrie 1.,.
