Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ;

NEW PANSIES.
Report Made to the Society of American
Florists.
In his report on new pansies, Mr. D.
Zinigiebel, of Massachusetts, said:
There am good old English and Scotch
strains that the German seedsmen and
florists have got hold of and subdivided
into ever so many colors and varieties,
but they practically remain the same
thing, and I do not see that any im
provement has been mado iatJSafiT; ex
cept in the catalogues by rechristening
them. A really new strain is- the Tri
mardeaux, originated by a florist near
Paris, France, but it has been greatly
Improved since then. These pansies are
very large in all their proportions, flow
ers and foliage, and, too, very hardy,
standing well extremes of both heat and
cold, and they give general satisfaction
all over the country.
Another new strain, also of French
origin, is the odior, or five spotted vari
eties, which' of late years have been
greatly improved on by the well known
specialists, Gassier and Bugnot, tho lat

been thought impossiblo a few years
ago. These last strains, however, are
by no means as hardy as other Btrains,
owing, I suppose, to closer breeding.
These two races are the only really
new varieties that huvo been introduced
within the past few years, and that are,
in my opinion, of any merit; and I have
come to this conclusion after having
tried, within the past few yeiiis, every
thin" of note in tho pansy line

sert pegs about six inches long on top
and then gradually longer downward.
Take hoops, such as come from sugar
barrels, etc., and nail one around the
bottom pegs and others in a spiral man
ner up toward the top, as shown in the
illustration. Paint any color, according
to taste. The remaining trellis is made
as follows: Take a stake and fasten a
square frame at top and a larger one at
the bottom and drive nails close to
gether all around the frame, both at top
and bottom. Then take stout twine and
run up and down all around, and you
have a fine trellis for cypress vine or
morning glories and other climbers.
Cut On the Faded Bases.
It is an excellent practice to cut off the
flowers from rose plants as these fade.
There is nothing that exhausts plants
more than the production of seed, and
when flowers are left to go to seed it is
just so much drawn from the vigor of
the plant. Meehan says that in the caso
of roses the class known as hybrid per
petuals, or ever blooming rosts, rarely
ever flower in the fall freely, unless the
flowers are cut off as the petals fade
The new flowers of autumn have to be
produced from young wood, which startB
from the spring flowering branch, and
the sooner the faded flowers are cut
away the sooner these buds proceed to
produce blossoms, iu fact, it is only
where the faded rose blossoms are cut
off as fast as they fade t lint the plants
flower very freely again in the autumn
of the year.

GOOD ROADS.
Their Requisites, II mv Obtained nnd
How Maintained Road Laws.
One of" a series of prize essays on
"Roadmaking and Maintenance," print
ed in a volume issued under the aus
pices of the University of Pennsylvania,
makes the following comparative esti
mates for macadam and telford roads
respectively:
"Macadam One mile, 80 feet wide
and 14 inches deep in center, from $7,000
to $9,000, according to material and dis
tance. With a good old foundation it
would cost $3,500 to $4,000.
"Telford One mile, 20 inches deep,
in layers, with good rolling, can be
made for $5,000 to $7,000, according to
material and distance. On old founda
tion it will cost $8,000 to $H,500.n
This writer pronounces the macadam
road "the best and therefore the cheap
est." Others maintain the superior merit,
as well as cheapness, of the telford sys
tem. A perfect road, either telford or mac
adam, or even of Illinois gravel, cau
only he secured by keeping the roadbed
perfectly dry through all seasons, either
by underdrainage or by making the
covering impervious to water and by
prompt and thorough repairs. Hence
side drainage, culverts, slope and curva
ture are of prime importance.
J. F. Pope, civil engineer, of Austin,
maintains that a road with a "metaled"
surface, either of broken stone or givel,
18 feet wide and i inches at the side
to fl inches deep iu the middle, can be
constructed for $1,000 to $3,800 per mile,
can he kept in repair for $100 to $300 a
mile per annum and would need resur
facing once in four or five years.
Another writer claims that a good
road with a surface of gravel laid on ten
inches of broken stone, with side drains,
can be built for $2,500 to $3,000 per mile.
With ono side drain and eight inches of
broken stone, he estimates the cost at
$1,500 to $3,500 per mile.
Dirt roads must for a long time be the
main dependence of Illinois and other
states, and the best method of securing
tnorough drainage and a solid track will
continue to be discussed in road conven
tions and the press. The attention the
subject is attracting is a promising omen
for the future. One of the reforms
needed, and that will eventually be
reaciieu, is tlie regulation of the width
of tires of vehicles according to weight
of the load, thus preventing the cutting
up of roads as now.
Next to construction a nnestion of
prime importance is that of care and
maintenance. Unsystematic methods,
work performed at improper Beasons and
absolute neglect are tho bane of any rood
system. Some of the most important
rules may be briefly summarized as fol
lows: First Make all needed repairs prompt
ly and at proper seasons.
Second Wet weather is the most fa
vorable for repairing or resurfacing a
macadamized roadway.
Third Keep drains clear.
Fourth Remove mud and dirt and
do not allow puddles or ruts on a hard
road.
Fifth In making repairs see that the
macadam is of proper size and evenly
distributed.
A most valuable treatise on the sub
ject of "Road Legislation for the Amer
ican State," by Professor J. W. Jenks,
of Knox college, atGalesburg, Ills., read
before the American Economio associa
tion in May, 1889, is printed in the pub
lications of the association (volume 4) for
that year. In that paper . the author
points out very forcibly the wasteful
ness of the present system of unim
proved roads of this state. Professor
Jenks estimates the cost of the present
defective system to the people of Illi
nois at nearly fifteen and a half mil
lions annually, and the depreciation in
the value of the farms of the state at
$100,000,000. In practice it has been
found in New Jersey and other states
where an improved system of highways
has been adopted that the appreciation
in the value of real estate has been from
25 to 50, and in some cases even 100 per
cent. As a prerequisite for the sys
tematic improvement of tho American
road system Professor Jenks proposes:
First The abolition of toll roads with
due regard to the rights of owners.
Second The classification of all roads
with reference to relative importance.
(Ho would divide them intothree classes:
1. The important thoroughfares to be
controlled by the county authorities. 2.
Connecting roads to the above and prin
cipal feeders to be supported by the
towns, hut under control of the county
authorities, il. Local roads controlled
and manuged by town authorities.)
Third County boards to classify roads
and determine the amount to be ex
pended on the first class; also the amount
to be raised by the townships.
Fourth The employment of a prac
tical engineer to superintend the classi
fication of roods, provide plans for
bridges, prepare topographical maps,
estimates, etc.
Fifth The county board to divide the
county in district of proper size, popu
lation, etc.
Sixth Appointment of a road couimis-
for each district.

several states shows the widest possible
diversity in methods of control; only
one state (Wisconsin) provides for a
specific classification by law; only u few
states provido for the employment of
skilled engineers or surveyors in making
or laying out roads; the labor tax varies
in different states from one to ten days
in each year. Illinois is one of the few
states which authorizes the county board
to employ a skilled superintendent to
lay out and construct roads; it also pro
vides for the levying of a money tax for
the construction and repair of roads, but
authorizes the adoption of a labor tax in
lieu of it by the people. Chicago Inter

being very distinct in this respect
Fruit is large, of a deep, golden yellow,
of excellent quality and very attract
ive in appearance. It is a prolific bearer,
and some fruit growers believe that in
time it will become as popular as is the
Industry, and unlike that variety it can
be successfully propagated without ex
tra care.
Pegging Down Rosea.
An admirable way to grow hybrid per
petual roses is by the pegging down
method. This consists of bending and
fastening down the shoots of the earth, so
that the surface of tho bed will be nearly
hidden with foliage, above which the
new growth and flowers aro to appear.
The young shoots of one season ara
pegged down the autumn following, at
which time enough of the old parts are
pruned away to give the former place
on the surface.
The rule given in American Garden
ing is to have no branches laid nearer tn
others than nine inches. Soma make a
mistake in pegging down the new
growth during the growing season:
leave it to grow as it will. When old
wood is left at the autumn or spring
laying-down timo because there are no
new shoots to take its place, such wood
should have the young branches cut
back to spurs of one or two eyes each.
The bed should onnually, or at farthest
every second year, receive in fall a lib
eral dressing of rotten manure over the
surface.
Hold Messes of White Flower.
Everybody admires the bold masses ot
white flowers in the autumn on well
grown plants of Pyrethrum uliginosum.
In many places abroad it is used at the
back of a mixed border with dahlias and
early blooming chrysanthemums iu
front Some people, however, , think
that the size of this plant detracts from
its decorative value, and they will be
glad to receive the suggestion which Mr.
R. Dean makes in the London Garden
ers' Magazine, that branches of this
plant can be layered just before the buds
are formed, when they root readily and
make neat little plants, six or eight
inches high, which will be covered with
bloom. It is an easy matter to layer the
plants in this way, as they root readily,
and the dwarf plants which are thus
produced will be found very useful for
decorating cold greenhouses or as win
dow plants.
Life Saving Humor.
There is a priest at Saratoff who is a
humorist, and it seems not improbable
that his humor has saved his life. Dur
ing the cholera riots his reverence was
attacked by a mob, one of the leaders
exclaiming, "That is the priest who
buried me alive; 1 have just risen from
the grave." Although the people were
crying "Stone him," the priest kept his
composure. "If you have just risen,"
he inquired of his assailant, "how is it
that you are already drunk?" The an
swer is not recorded, but the priest sur
vived to tell the tale. Londou Globe,
