Notes and Queries.
Giant Tomato Plant.
The largest tomato plants In the
world are found in California. One
grower has three plants which have
reached a leiifrth of thirty feet In
three months from the time the seeds
were planted the vines had climbed to
the top of a twenty foot trellis. The
trunks of these plants, says What to
Eat. nre one and a half inches In di
ameter and the foliage Is thick and
luxuriant. Enormous quantifies of to
matoes have been picked from them
nnd the fruit Is of unusual size, pos
sessing an extraordinary fine flavor.
Lavn.
Lava may be blown Into opaque bot
tles of gossamer lightness, and the
harder sort makes a beautiful green
glass of half the weight and double the
strength of ordinary glass. But It ia
not always the same. Every volcano
pours out its own special brand of
molten mixture, disagreeable to walk
on, but sometimes yielding precious
products, as pumice stone. Lava, like
all tilings, decomposes under the touch
of time, as the fertile plaius of Sicily
testify.
Mnrrlaiir.
"What I waut." said the young man,
"Is to get married and have a peac
ful. quiet hom."
"Well," said Farmer Corutossel.
"sometimes It works that way. and
then again sometimes It's like jolnln'
a dehiuin' s.H'iety." Washington Star.
Curiosity Arouaed.
"I'apa, what makes the cheese smell
so?"
"The process by which it was cured,
I presume."
After some momeuts of profound
cogitation. "Papa, what would it smell
like if it hadn't been cured?"
A Chance For Somebody.
"Very strange, isu't It. about the
story of Adam and Eve?"
"How?"
"Why, as far as I know, it hasn't
been worked up Into a historical novel."
Watson's Magazine.
Injuries of Life.
The Injuries of life if rightly lmpror
ed will be to us as the strokes of the
statuary on his marble, forming us to
a more beautiful shape and making us
fitter to adorn tho heavenly temple.

In oilier wonlM. to attract the attention
of the solid and HubMantlnl homo seek

home makers nnd there 1 no one thing
that will Inilui e them to come anj .
caue thern to st.-iy more thnn gooil

good roii'ls convention.
The Wilb'.uiette valley would have
had more than double Its present popu
lation had more attention been given
to this subject. Ileal estate men In all
ports of this vali'-y wlil tell jou that
In many cases they have located good
fanners from the older slates, but on
account of bad roads and the utter !m
poKslhility to get around, the women
folks got homesick and Mur nnd urged
their husbands to go buck to tho old
home where they could get out occa
sionally to s-e their neighbors or to go
to church lu comfort.
In pcakiiig of good roads I also
mean to Include good sidewalks and
good streets. In order to secure pros
perity and happiness eliher In the city,
town or country, we must havo good
roads for the p?destrinn, the buggy, the
wagon, the bicycle and the automobile.
The modern Idea of laying out an ad
dition or Improving a given section of
any city Is most successful when the
streets and sidewalks are built In ad
vance, and In making such Improve
ments the real estate owner not only
gets a profit on the land he has for
tale, but he gets a profit upon the Im
provements he makes, and he Is en
titled to It. The Investor or home seek
er who gets Into such an addition or
locality shows good sense because be
knows he does not have to depend
upon his neighbors or the municipal
government.

Bow the Farmers of Illinois Will
Improve) the Roads.
Steps Lave been taken by the Illinois
blghway commission to organize the
farmers of the state into leagues for
the maintenance and Improvement of
the public highways, says the Motor
News. Several leagues have already
been organized-
The Illinois highway commission was
created by the last general assembly
and has taken up in earnest the work
of improving the roads throughout the
6tate. Nearly fo.OOO.OOO Is spent rn
nunlly In Illinois in maintaining high
ways and bridges. The aim .of the
commission is to Improve the roads
without adding extra expense to the
taxpayers.
About r5 per cent of the public high
ways In Illinois are earth roads. . A. N.
Johnson of Springfield, the engineer of
the commission, has given special at
tention to this class of roads, and he
asserts that they can be greatly Im
proved ' by "dragging" at a merely
nominal expense to the farmers.
When the farmers' leagues are or
ganized and the work placed on a sys
tematic basis It Is proposed by the
commission to have all the farmers In
a certain section turn out and drag
the roads when they are wet and Ih the
proper coudition. Without an organ
ization' this cannot be done, as each
one now leaves It to another to do,
with the result that the roads are not
attended to or repaired at the proper
time.
, The method which has been found to
work satisfactorily in Iowa and Mis
souri consists In dragging heavy logs
along the highways at a slight angle,
which throws the soft mud or clay to
ward the center of the road. The logs
are about nine feet In length, with a
flattened surface.
Why Roads Should Be Improved.
There are many striking examples of
the value of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently improved
it is found that there has been a very
great Increase lu value of the adjacent
property, says the Good Roads Maga
eiue. Among examples of this sort Is
that of Jackson, Tenn. From figures
recently published It Is shown that
since HiOU the city has Increased 5,000
In population, The roads were Im
proved through issuing bonds to start
with, and they have advertised the city
so much that families are constantly
coming in from adjolnln.3 counties.,
with the result that land values have
Increased lu some cases from 20 to
100 per cent. Property in the city has
also greatly Increased lu value.
Millions Lout Annually.
"I believe the Improvement of the
roads of the country Is of more vital
Interest and Importance to the farm
ers of the republic than perhaps any
other that we have heard debated
here. All civilized governments build
roads. All save our own havo some
established system for building and
maintaining public highways, under
the direction of skilled and competent
officials. The secretary of agriculture
estimates that the cost, the extra bur
dens Imposed upon this country by
bad roads, Is not less than $000,000,000
annually. From a Speech Delivered by
Congressman Lee of Virginia.
Kentucky's Greatest Handicap.
J. C. C. Mayo of Kentucky, who has
been a thief factor In the development
of the eastern counties of his state,
and is an extensive owner of valuable
coal lands of that region, said recently:
"Our greatest handicap Is the
wretched condition of our country
roads. In wet weather they are al
most Impassable,' and the farmers can
not get over them In empty wagons.
The construction of good roads In th
rural districts Is one of the biggest
questions of the day, and this country
will never experience the fullest pros
pertty until the problem Is solved."
