greatly differing in size and form,

i while others do well in tool and
i shady places.
1 Of the 4,000 or more species of
1 ferns not more than about forty
cpecies are stilted to outdoor culture
; in ordinary roils and Fituations. These
species can be planted in beds, bor
ders of rockeries or in the foreground
of shrubbery. As most of them re
quire a somewhat shady place, they
are especially useful for Tilling in
places where grass and other' light
loving plants cannot grow. Perfect
drainage is required. The soil should
i have leaf mold in It. or decayed feat
or well decayed sod will answer.
Hardy ferns are best planted In the
Spring, but they can be planted in
the Summer if the fronds or leaves
are cut back, making It easier for the
plants to establish themselves before
the Winter sets in. From his florist
the amateur gardener can obtain cut
i tings of varieties most suitable for
, the roll and climate in his vicinity. In
I the Winter the ferns should be given
1 protection, with a covering of leaves,
i hay or straw.

Many Methods and Materials.
The material used and the methods
employed in the construction of good
roads will necessarily vary according
to the money and materials available
for the purpose. In the richer and
more populous communities In the
Eastern States macadam roads are
favored as being the best and most
desirable type of good roads for dense
, traffic. These require the use of
i crushed stones, but many Important
! thoroughfares are surfaced with grav
i el, slag, shells and other hard niateri
I als suitable for road metal. In many
lncalitic, where no hard materials
are available, roads are constructed
of sand and clpy or of burnt clay with
excellent results.

In one newspaper offlce the news
