PUBLIC ROADS IN IOWA. rii Koojert IHsrnsseil by the Governor of the Ilawkeye Slat. Compared with the number of our people and their ability to pay taxes we have a very large mileage of public highways, no part of which can be en tirely neglected, and our road taxes collected and expended as they hereto fore have been are barely sufficient to keep most of these highways, which must be used, in a passable condition. It is doubtful whether our people are yet ready to submit to additional bur dens in the shape of highway taxes. What then can be done? This is the practical question. All will concede that if our road taxes .were paid in money,- and judi ciously expended under the direction of experts skilled in the art of making roads, much more could be accom plished than is now; but it is doubtful whether there would be general assent to a plan which Would require the pay ment of all road taxes in money. Still it is apparent that any system which will result in the permanent im provement of our highways absolutely requires a cash fund with which to be gin and the oversight of persons skilled in the art of making roads. Such per sons cannot usually be found within the road districts, and if found could not afford to spend their time for the compensation allowed a road supervisor, Hut upon .smooth dry land, devoid of engineering difficulties of all kinds, anyone can construct a highway that will be reasonably passable at any sea son of the year, and this part of the work, covering much the greater part of the mileage, could in my judgment be left in charge of local supervisors and worked out as is now done. It is perhaps reasonable to assume that this would absorb one-half of the road taxes now levied, and this share could be paid in work if 60 desired. The remainder of the road tax and all AN IOWA HOAU IN SPRING. of the bridge tax, if we are to improve upon our present system, must be paid in cash with the spring installment of taxes. This would supply a cash fund. the first essential to a change in our system. Then, in every county at least, a competent engineer would bo re quired to formulate plans for the con struction of roads at all points of diffi culty, and thin work in my judgment should be lot to the "lowest bidder for cash, his pay to depend upon the cer tificate of the engineer that ho had completed the work according to the plan submitted. The first object to be attained in the construction of our highways is a foundation as nearly perfect as prac ticable. To accomplish this in bad places will require an extensive and sometimes complicated system of drain age. None but competent engineers can prepare the plans for this, and it will be necessary to confer on the coun ties or road districts the power of emi nent domain so that adjoining lauds may be condemned to enable the dis trict to perfect these systems of drainage. , . All bridges should bo built under the supervision of the engineer, and all money collected for rotvd taxes should be expended in the district in which it is collected. In this way we could at once begin the proper construction of a permanent foundation for our wagon roads, which would, in my judgment, without ad ditional expense, save the salary of an engineer, greatly improve the present condition of our highways and at the same time prepare them for gravel or macadam when the country is old enough and rich enough to complete the work of converting them into per fect roads. Gov. Horace Itoics, in Good Roads. TO PREVENT HORNS. A Mrthoil Snggented hy the Department of A(rirnltnrti. Many shrink from the practice of de horning who would gladly adopt some way of preventing the growth of horns. This can be cton with little, if any, suf fering to the animal. The department of agriculture suggests a method as follows; Mix 6fty parts caustic soda, twenty-five parts of kerosene oil and twenty-five parts of water. An emul sion is made of the kerosene and soda by heating and vigorously Rtirring. and this is then dissolved in water. The mixture should then be placed in a bottle with a solki rubber cork. In applying, the calf should not be over three weeks old, five to twenty days being the proper age. With a pair of scissors clip the hair around the embryo born, exposing- a spot aliont the size of a nickel. Hold the calf securely and ,drop two or three drops of the mixture upon the horn, and with the end of the rubber cork nub it in thoroughly over the ban y,tot. Apply the fluid first to one horn and then the other, until each horn has been gone over three or four times. The rubbing should be conlin ued until the caustic has softened and removed the hair and surface skin im mediately around the horn. Care should be taken that the fluid does not spread over a large surface or run down the sides of the face. The mixture must be carefully aud thoroughly applied; if used carelessly the embryo horn may not only le killed, but the face of the calf may le disligured. This method is not only less cruel to the animal but it is said, leaves the head in better form than when dehorning is practiced in the old way. ireen Fond for Cow. A cow may be on a pasture and yel secure but little green food. The size of the pasture, numlier of cows aud growth of grass mst be considered. If the rows ln-gin to fall of? in their milk it is a sure indication that some thing is wrong, and unless the dairy man makes a change in the food in some manner, the flow will continue tc lessen. More hay and fodder sheuld be supplied as the paj.t'.ir.' fails, ai-1 green food maybe allowed in"-Ut nhaj'eof young fodder corn. THE POTATO HARVEST. Seaioanble Advice at to nigging nJ Reaping the Tubers. One can easily select a time when the soil is in the right condition to fall right away from the potatoes when turned up either with the plow, potato digger or fork. By having a dn crop iu this way the labor of harvesting is greatly lessened. Potatoes should not be washed, as a rule. Yet they musk if we dig them with the soil adhering to them. . A dirty crop of potatoes will not keep well. , Sometimes, however, potatoes will get muddy from necessity, and then some place to keep them while they are washed should be provided. It is not such an easy job to wash potatoes, for the mud is only loosened and not washed off by throwing .water over them. If they are piled up in a heap and then washed with a hose for somo time, the tops will be as clean as a whistle, but down toward the bottom the mud has accumulated. The easiest way to wash them is to make a temporary lattice work on the top of four barrels. Lay bean poles across the four rails, so close, that the potatoes pannot slide through. On top of this place one bushel of potatoes at a time, and then turn the hose on them. The water and dirt will drip through the lattice work to the ground and leave the potatoes bright and clean. As fast. as cleaned the potatoes should be spread out on a canvas or boards to dry before storing. They will dry in a very Bhort time in harvesting seasons. They must not be stored away in a damp, cold place while wet or the rot will surely set in. A good drying and storing place for potatoes should be provided beforehand in tlie barn. A lattice floor should be made somewhere ' on the north side of the bain, and either stretched from mow to mow or constructed on a cheap framework. The floor can be made of bean poles or cheap scantling. The spaces between the slats should only be about an inch. If such a storage place is provided the potatoes can be placed there even when they are wet, for the dry air circulating through thein soon carries away the moisture. All through the rest of the summer and the early fall the potatoes can be kept in this cool place in the best of condition. If potatoes are to be kept until later in the winter for sale they will turn out 50 per cent better if cared for in the summer in this way. All of the mois ture is dried out of their, and heat has no chance to rot them. Colman's Ru ral World. THE HORSE NETTLE. A Weed That In Common In the West and South went. The horse nettle (Solanum Caroli- nense) is a well-known troublesome weed in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas southern b. a a, Arkansas and south to northern Texas. ; It is a perenuial nnd produces long and deep roots, some times more than three feet Ordinary plow ing will not kill them,-they must be dug up, but the best plan for their destruction is to cut the' plant off sev eral inches below the ground. In no case allow any leaves to apppar above the surface. The leaves are the organs of the plant in which food is made and this is stored away abundantlj- in the root-stock ud roots. This accounts for some of the extraordinary vitality of the underground parts. '1 his Weed is a close kin of the potato, liaviug vio let or white flowers and yellow berries. HORSK NETTLE. The potato is known botanicaiiy as Solanum tuberosum. The common nightshade, with small white flowers growing abundantly in shady places, is also closely related to it. The berries of this plant are black, and we were all taught to avoid them as they were supposed to lie very poisonous. In Kansas, Missouri and the southwest is a prickly, somewhat hoary plant bear ing yellow flowers. It is an extremely common weed along' roadsides, aud is avoided by cattle and farmers fear it, It is much easier to destroy being an annual. Hut like the Russian thistle iu Dakota it has become so common that the task is a very difficult one, aa it would require concentrated, contin ned action everywhere.

A correspondent is informed that the destructive, element of pyrethrum is a volatile oil which readily escapes r soon as the powder comes in contact with the air. Hence the powder should not be unnecessarily exposed before it is used. When it can be used in the house and the rom in which it is used is tightly closed, it will kill any insect in the room, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, etc. The room should be closed for several hours when used for such a pur pose. W hen used on plants, of course, a great deal of the volatile principle is lost but still there isenough that come in contact with the insects to kill sev eral species. It is a good remedy fo lice on live stock. The common cab bage worm will also succumb to it I California"" the plant is grown and the powder manufactured. Farmers' Voice. How to CnltUate Sage.

An item in tho press stating that the City of Peking in her recent trip sailed ,240 miles without meeting a single sail, is cited as showing the loneliness of the Pacific ocean. In the summer of 1800 1 left San Francisco, says a traveler, on a sail-vessel (formerly from Baltl tnire) for Panama, distance 4,000 miles, and on the entire route, which lasted forty-three days, we never saw a sail. Loneliness is no word for it; especially when we lay becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel floating as helplessly about as a chip on a mill-pond, the ground swell keeping up the monoton ous roll of the vessel from Side to side all day and all night, and day after day each roll being accompanied by a flap of the sails aud a creaking of the rig ging that might have passed for the flap of the wings and tho wail of lost spirits. When we read about Noah and his ark we arc apt to think that ho must have had a lonely time, but then he was out only forty days, and besides, with all the animals, etc., on board, he had plenty to occupy his time and at tention, and if he wanted amusement to while away the time, he had only to start a sparring match between his monkeys and parrots. True, there is no report of any such proceeding on his part but that is doubtless because there was no modern newspaper re porter on board. I tell you a man can not realize what loneliness or comfort s until he has made some such trip, and if he wants to complete his educa tion in that line lie should preface it with a tramp of 2,000 miles over the mountains and across the deserts amid wolves and wild Indians as thousands of '49-crs did.
