milk for week or two previous, is used
for feeding calves, none Of which are ever

Profitable Cors-Mr. C. Kept cows at
the hotel about nine months. and fed them
as above. watering them in their s!alls,
aud the yield OF milk averaged 40 gallons

We asked Mr., Calvert if he had ever
experienced any difficulty with his Dur.
hams about milking. His!reply was. "No,
the least. They are jus. as gentle as any

done in The sable. Many of his cows are
superb animals. Hekeeps few common
ones 10 ill up his complement Of mixers
and 10 supply demands for purchase oI
common cows. The calves Of these, he
suckles i'll !our days old, and then sells
them 10 the butcher. Query. What for

penses Of the Department: for the comm.
year 10 be sl,l32,O43 ~. being an excess
over those OF the present, year Of *l,72s,-
670,s3. The increase OF expenditures has
been confined to the Bureaux Of the Land
Service and Indian Affairs, the Pension
Office, and the Uni,ed States Courts. The
Secretary states the whole number Of PEN
siorers TO be 1873, although all do not
draw their pensions. The number OF
deaths among them reported during the last
year is SAG. The number OF revolutionary
pensions under the nc, OF 1918 is 1893
under the act of 1928 is lG2-under the
&C, Of 1882 5,2f7, not one half of whor
applied for their pensions during the first
half OF the present year. The number OF
pensoned widows Of revolutionary soldiers
under the act Of 1886 is 4 9S4-under the
ac, of 1888 is 2Ol-aud under The act OF
February ls4S 1876, and of April lS4S
CSC. The number OF invalid pensioners is
4,742 and the number Of pensioned widows
and orphans on account Of the Mexican

cd for pensions during the last year i, el,-
4OO, 900. The number of land warrants

-ior service in the war OF 1912, 2s,97s,
and the number OF claims presented for
service in The Mexican war, amounts, in
money, 10 SS4 ,7C5 90. The number OF
claims presented under the General Bounty
Law OF last September is 9,4lS. but they
are increasing very rapidly. The whole
number Of persons who, if living, would be
entitled to the benefi, OF this law, would
exceed half million, but the actual claim
ants, i, is computed, will no, amount 10
more than halt of that number. TIE total
quantity Of public lands disposed OF in the
year 1si9 was 5,lS4,4l0 acres, and dar.
ing the first three quarters oi the present
year, 2,Sl5,366 acres. The Secretary

~The lst volume Of Harris Reports
Of the decisions Of the Supreme Court Of

to be, in the fidelity and clearness with

For three days in succession the passages OF
teams at the first gate lave equailed one in two
minutes for the whole twenty four Sours, and
this was done upon a single track. The cases
are few where one plank track will not be suttl-
cient to accommodate the travel if the earth
road along the side is carefully kept in order.
The first roads that were constructed in Canada
were made wide, but aiterly no plank more than
eight feet long are laid there, except in villages
and cities.
"The quantity of lumber required for single
track of three.inch plank, eight feet long, and
stringers three inches by twelve, will be for one
mile l26,720 feet of plank. board measure, and
81 $50 feet of stringers-in all l58,400 feet.
'sThe cost Of laying single track will vary
from fifty cents to one dollar rod. the soil is
easy or hard to work This will cover the ne
cessary cost Of grading up to the ends of the
plank, and making the turn out upon, and the
necessary bitches where an old roadway is used.
When the bed is TO be formed The cost OF its for
nation must be added. Il hills are TO be cut
down and valleys filled up and forests to be cut
