Good Wagon Roads.


Fr.m the Philadelphia Esr.rI
Mr.. William G. Prime, writing TO
the New York Journal al CONNER,
Of journey through New England
by carriage, complains Of the bad
condition Of the wagon roads in that
part Of the country. The complaint
is undoubtedly a just one. aud like
charge could be sustained against
nearly the entire country. The wagon
roads Of Pennsylvania are particu-
larry bad. Tie Journal Of Commcrccs
correspondent traces the neglect of
the country roads to the exaggerated
notions entertained with regard to
the office Of railroads as a means Of
developing interior sections oC conn
try. 1t i strange that 80 important
subject should have received so
great neglect, especially when it is
considered that generally throughout
the country the rates of freight by
rail between local shipping points are
kept at n point but fraction below
the cost OF wagoning. the aim. Of
course, being to tax local business all
that it will stand. Once or twice on
some roads the mistake was made Of
fixing local freight rates triAc too
high, which, OF course, gave an i'm
petus TO wagoning, when the rates
were at once reduced. The effect of
the railway influence is thus stated by
Mr.. Prime: "Railways have super
ccded IN the minds Of the people the
need Of wagon roads. have led to the
neglect of these roads, have thus
actually isolated and cut off interior
farms and villages from their old
relations to central towns and cities,
and have Suspended the advance OF
civilization in many localities. All
over the country wagon roads have
given place in the public mind to
railroads. Legislators never think of
compelling railroads TO replace the
wagon roads usurped by the rail
track, at safe distance from it, lie
traces the standstill condition of

shire to the abandonment of any sys.
tenn of good wagon roads, and adds
that zone of the best fields for mis-
sionary work is the instruction of
the people 10 the value, Importance
and method of making good wagon
roads. Churches are civilizers, but a
country church at crossroads from
which diverge impracticable highways
is lamp under bushel. Good roads
are great eivilizers. Good roads make
farms valuable, make farm life happy,
make communities interested in one
another, bring custom to villages,
cities and railways, increase the value
of farm and other lands, and lie Mt
the very foundation of the civilization
and prosperity of State" The
early Improvement of the wagon
roads Is of the first Importance TO
Pennsylvania. The people of this
State need to take counsel with each
other to the end that improved meth.
ods of road construction may be
introduced.

Good Butter Making.

l.. S. Hardin, of Kentucky, one
Of the leading thinkers of ts-- day
upon all subjects connecte,Y
the dairy, read n paper before the
late meeting Of the Rockland county.
y. Y, agricultural society, upon the
subject Of butter making, in which
he described what he called the snew
process 1t reads like very good
process, and we copy it below:
The milk, as soon as it be taken
from the cow, is cooled to seventy-fve
degrees by being set in we'll water.
1t is then strained into vats or cans
twenty inches deep, and set either In
cold air or cold ice water, and the
temperature OF the milk reduced to
forty degrees. 1t is left TO stand at
this temperature twelve to twenty
four hours. The cream is then dipped
off, it remaining sweet and limped.
The skinned milk also remains
sweet. The cream is allowed 10
stand Elk hours after being taken off,
to ripen and turn slightly sour. 1t
is then churned i'm either n revolving
or oscillating box, until it comes In
butter grains about the size of grains
of wheat. The buttermilk is then
drawn off, and water thrown in, at
about the temperature of sixty de-
grecs. After the butter is washed
until the water runs clear from it,
the grains are pressed into n lump
and placed upon n butter worker.
What buttermilk Is LEFT in IL is work
ed out, and salt Is added to the taste
of the purchaser. This butter is
generally reworked a little, after
standing four or five hours, to take
the notified appearance out of It.
After this 1t Is packed in fresh, new
wooden tubs, and shipped Immediate
ly to market in refrigerator cars, so
that 1t actually reaches the consumer
before IL is three days old from the
cows udder.

From Father 70 Son.


FROM III" Cincinnati Commercial.
If we are to reach the highest de-
velopmcnt of race Of farmers. we
must expect it through the line Of
descent. The son must inherit the
fitness of the father, and take up the
calling aud business where he left of.
and his son after him, and so on.
When this shall become the custom
in our farming families. then shall we
see greater stability In society. and
a higher type Of civilization. Every
parent has the chief power 10 bring
this work about. The very indcpend-
cncc OF the farmers life is to be
the germ which develops race that
cannot be other than an independent
people. Our nation is to achieve its
greatness in the development Of agri.
culture. Its power at home and
abroad is to be established aud held
through the arts Of husbandry. prac-
tised by skillful and vlrtuous race
Of farmers.
The average size of an Irish farm
Is twenty acres.

Ir you have horse power and
cutting box, it costs very little to cut
all the fodder usually grown and fed
on farm, and it pays to do it for the
better quality of the bedding for
which the refuse is used, and greater
ease and rapidity with which the
manure can be prepared for use.
This has been our own practice for
years, and we believe it pays. If
enough is cut at one time to last n
week or two, and it is firmly tramped
in n bin, with liberal supply Of salt
sprinkled over it, it will become moist,
and slight degree of fermentation
will set in, which will soften it, and
cause the cattle to eat much larger
proportion of the stalks than they
would if left whole. Whatever ration
Of grain the cattle get should be
ground and mixed with the cut stalks,
and moistened with water. This will
cause grain and fodder to be swal-
lowed together, when the grain will
be raised with the fodder in the form
Of cud, and re-masticated, enabling
the animal to appropriate a much
larger portion of the nourshmcnt it
contains than when it is swallowed
by itself, and passed into the stomach
from which it cannot bc rcgaincd as
cud. Reasoning and experiment agree
that all grain should be groundbc-
fore it is fed to stock of any kind.
The distance of many farmers from
"the MILL and the consequent incon-
venience and loss of time incurred in
taking grain TO and from the mill,
often prove quite rs much an objec-
tion TO having the grain ground, as
the tenth or more which the miller
exacts as "toll." 4 better state of
things than this now exists on many
farms whero the farmers have supplied
themselves with some one of the
small and efficient mills which can
now be had, and do their own grind.
ing. Those who use them say that it
requires but little if any more time
to do their own chopping at home,
than to take the grain to the mill and
back, anf the toll saved is clear gain.
We shall have more to say upon this
subject at an early day.

Extracts and Comments.

Wheat planted from fourth TO n half

Possibly that's true. But can the
party who makes the statement 80
positively assure us that it will yield
better, acre for acre, than that plant

The mistaken notion prevails with
some sportsmen that the sign boards
forbidding hunting, fishing or trespass
ing on private lands are of no account,
and that they can be disrcgardcd with
impunity. Eyehangc.
Invite the sportsmen to the Squirc's
office, and convince them of the cost
illness of their mistaken notion. They
will avoid making the same mistake
on the same premises in the future.

OVER one hundred and thirty acres,
in one season, with two plows, with
out breakage of any kind, large or
small, and with the use of but four
shares, is pretty good record for
the plows. Well, that's what We have
done this season with two South Bend
chilled plows, furnished by ii. X.
Hicks, last spring, and at this writ
ing, December 10, they have been
furnished with new shares, and are
running in an eight-year-old sod,
doing work that is the very perfection
of plowing. The jointer attachment
enables them to completely hide the
grass and roots, and we expect, by
its use, to avoid n deal of hard work
for our teams in the way of harrow
ing in the spring.

AT the December meeting of the
Lancaster county agricultural soci.
ETY., the question "What constitutes
'high farming and will it pay ?" was
referred for answer to Henry NJ. En-
gle, who is the member of the State
Board of Agriculture for that coun.
ty. He answered by saying that "the
raising of the largest possible crops,
keeping the land clean and leaving it
at the end of the year in better con-
dition than at the beginning, consti-
tute high farming This is most
excellent definition, but it leads us to
observe that we know of very few
men who are addicted to that kind of
farming. During the same meeting
Mr.. Engle advocated the soiIing sys-
tenn of feeding cattle rs being cheap
or than pasturing them.
