greatly differing in size and form,

them require a v.irm ten.pe:nti;re.
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.

as he was spcakii there were but
two reporters pre i nt. The otnera
had written tl.r-ir stories, sent down
their copy and the test of the
speeches, r.nd gene to more interest

In one newspaper offlce the news
did not get in .il a minute before
time for going ti press. Two columns
of Windom'fe tj.eih wee in type in
the form. As it was too late to make
over and catch the n.ails, an enter
prising editor wrote: "The Honora

the Chamber oi Commerce dinner last

would have st-ohe!! as follows." Thus
it stood until they could make over.
Popular Breeds of Hogs.
I As to the popular breeds of hogs
I ior market purposes, that is a hard
I oK!--tion to answer. Buyers have
; their likes and dislikes and what
I breed one slaushteier would like an-
other would not. Most of the Chica
! so buyers of light weight hogs prefer
the Berkshire and many who buy the
levy grades show a liking of the Po-
land China, while the Hampshire may
I l.ty claim to both of these qualities,

Cuts on Horses.

,-ake the mistake of using it too
.strong and set up an irritation instead
of keeping things normal. A good
antiseptic wash kills the germs which
form pus, keeps the flies off and al

healthy horse will get over a bad cut
in a surprisingly short time if the
wound is merely kept clean and sanitary.

The intrinsic value of a system of

and a well rounded, smooth, hard sur
