The Law Of the Road.

TURN TO THE RIGHT.-The most impor-
tant law Of the road is, that when two per-
sons in vehicles coming from opposite d.
rections are about to meet, each shall rea-
sonably bear to the right of the middle or
travelled portion of the road, so that they
can pass each other without interference.
A traveller is not required to keep on the
right side Of the road all the tmc be can
drive where he pleases or where the going
is best, SO long as he turns to the right when
he meets another vehicle. If the middle
and usually travelled portion of the road is
very muddy, and for this or any other rea-
son persons are travelling along tine side of
the road, then the one who is on the left
side of the road is in duty bound to turn
out. In Massachusetts, it vas held that
when the part Of the road which is wrought
for travelling is hidden BY snow. and path
is beaten and travelled on the side Of the
wrought path, persons meeting on such side
path are each required 10 drive their vehi.
Giles to the right Of the middle of it, 1t
should. however, be remembered that this
law Of the road is not an absolute and in
flexible one. Circumstance NAV arise
which would justify deviation from it, and
when they do arise, traveller cannot stick
blindly TO the law, and then claim damages
if he is injured, In tie crowded streets Of
a metropolis drivers are required to exercise
very great care, and when the high degree
Of care dictates departure from this law Of
the road, then it is not only UNSUITABLE, bu,
a failure to observe il might cut of ones
right 10 recover damages if he is injured
This turning to the RICH, is just the oppo-
site Of that in England. which requires all
drivers 20 turn to the left. The rule of
turning in England is based on long honor
ed custom our rule is established bv stat

Sweating Apples.

We hear much about sweating" apples
after they are gathered in the autumn.
Farmers, and even agricultural papers Of the
better class, often a.lui. to sweat on
stored fruits something that comes from
within the fruit, and which is 10 be regarded
a natural or necessary oxidation. One
Of the best agricultural papers in the coun-
try, in a late issue, gives this advice 10 farm
ers and fruit-growers Apples intended
for market should be gathered. and laid in q
pile on the ground for a week OF more. SO
that they may s,cedt before barreling" Now,
let Us consider this matter for a moment.
The skin of sound apple is practically
protective covering. and designed for two
fold purpose first, TO prevent the ingress
Of air and moisture TO the tender cellular
structure Of the fruit; and, second, TO pre-
vent the loss Of juices by emulation. There
Is no such process as sreatiRg in fruits.
When men or animals swest. they become
covered with moisture passing through the
skin when an apple becomes covered with
moisture, II is due TO condensation Of moist
ure from rithom. Apples taken from trees
in a cool day remain at the temperature of the
air until change to higher temperature oc-
ours, and then condensation of moisture from
the warmer air circulating around the fruit
occurs, just as moisture gathers upon the out
side Of an ice-pitcher in summer. This ex-
plains the whole matter and the vulgar
notion of fruits sweating" should be dis
PEELED from the mind.
1t is almost impossible TO gather apples
under such conditions of temperature that
they will not ccndense moisture after being
placed in barrels. 1t would be better il this
result could be avoided, as dryness of fruit
is essential to its protracted keeping.
Our northern autumns are characterized
BY changes from hot to cold, and these occur
suddenly. The days are hot, and the nights
cool, and this favors condensation. Apples
picked on a moderately cool day, and
placed in a moderately cool shed, protected
from the sun, will not gather moisture, and
this is the best method to pursue when
practicable. Il Popular Science Ners

1t is a well established fact that q bush
Ell of corn will make ten pounds of pork,
while it will make but little over one half
of that amount of beef. 1t is also an in
disputable fact that one acre Of clover will
make two pounds of pork to one of beef
when grazed without other feed. The
great value of the grass in producing pork
is not understood as well by farmers as it
should be. Grass is as much natures food
for hogs as for cattle, and the former will
utilize it into greater profits than the latter
can possibly do. We urge it upon every
swine breeder to give his hogs abundance of
grass. 1t will promote healthy consti-
tuition and develop bone and muscle with
proper flesh. A hog that has been grown
principally on grass has . sure foundation
for the future.

Weaving Lambs.

The common practice of allowing ewes and
lambs TO run together until taken up for
winter is bad for both. While the eve does
not afford the three or four months old lamb
sufficient nourshment to meet his wants.
she does afford enough to cause him to con
tinually chase her about, to annoy her and
to spoil his appetite for other food, and the
drain upon her system is sufficient to cause
much loss of flesh. The proper age at
which to separate lamb from its dam is
when il is from fourteen 10 sixteen weeks
old; but it should be prepared for separa-
ton by being previously taught to
eat.

Whether stock is to be fattened or only
kept through the winter in store condition,
1t should be well fed from this time until
cold weather sets in. The old saying is,
that "an animal well summered is half
wintered-" But it is great mistake to let
stock get in poor condition at any time and
In summer is unnecessary, as less food is
then required.

Early fall blowing has double advan-
tage; it leaves a longer period for the
weather to exercise its disintegrating effects
on the rocky fragments of soil, and the
vegetable matter being more completely
decomposed, the process of notification, or
conversion Of the vegetable matter into plan,
food, takes earlier effect in the spring.

milk arises from turning cows into orchards
to pick up the fallen fruit. They get a very
