United States surveyor for Nebraska says
that all the agricultural land in that section
has been fenced in by tho cattlomon. Their
ranges extend for hundreds of miles, and the
wire fences enclosing all desirable lands are
posted at intervals with notices threatening
death to any person opening them. The
herders assert that they hold these lands
under tho desert land and timber culture
laws. The result is complete check to per-

A road should be as straight as posi-
bic, so that it may be short; it should be
nearly level, 80 that it may not lessen
and waste the power of the horse in draw
ing loads up bills; it should be smoothe
and hard, because soft, rough road
offers, in effect. precisely the same OBJ
stacles to a loaded wagon rs hill would.
and it should be made of durable ma
terials, that it may be cheap, service
able, and require the least amount of
repair to keep it in good condition.
1t is very certain that there is not one
road in thousand in the country that
comes up to all these qualifications. In
America we labor under the disadvan-
tage Of having no model roads from
which we could take pattern, such as
the English and Europeans have in the
ancient Roman roads. which still exist
and are vet in use after two thousand
Years of service. The Romans were eX-
cellent road-builders. Good roads and
rapid and easy communication were
necessary to the existence of the Roman
Empire, and the Romans soon learned
how to meet the requirements of their
condition. In modern times railroads
have taken the place of the ordinary
highways to very large extent. and, in
consequence, the roads are simply means
Of local communication, short journeys
only being made when and where rail
roads cannot be used This may. per-
haps, be considered as an excuse for
poor roads. But it is not and cannot be,
because the roads are the feeders of the
railroads, and every additional cost laid
upon the produce and materials hauled
to the railroads is a charge which add
heres to them to the end. But in the
absence of other models, we may very
usefully take our railroads as patterns
to follow in the construction and main
tenance of the common roads. To
great extent our roads are already made.
and as we have made them so we must
keep them. But railroads are improved
from time to time. Short cuts are made
to avoid great bends, and elevations are
lowered or low grades raised to get a
better approach to level. So in ma
terial; steel rails replace iron and stone
ballast is used instead OF sand and clay.
1t ought to be the same with our roads.
Stone should be used instead of mud,
and broken or crushed stone should dis
place the wretched cobble stones, which
in many districts serve to lame the
horses and wreck the wagons and the
peace of mind of the farmers and travel
ers. Moreover. the roads should be
made dry by thorough system of
drainage, both superficial and under

Applying Sand to Grass Land.

Those who have meadow land that
has been drained and seeded down tC
the better qualities of grasses, often
find it necessary to apply a dressing OF
sand: experience teaching that it very
much improves the condition of the
grass roots and increases the crop OF
grass; sometimes quite as much rs a
dressing of manure. The reason why
this is SO, few stop to inquire.
The application of sand to meadow
often accOmplishes double purpose.
First, it lightens up the soil and gives
the water Il chance to drain off, and
second, it furnishes silica to the grass,
which is necessary to strengthen the
stalk.
Meadow land that is composed entire.
ly of partially decomposed vegetable
material, settles together sometimes so
closely that water will not readily pass
through it, except in small streams.
This is very unfavorable to the growth
of any crop that the farmer desires to
grow. Unless there are numerous pas
sageways for both air and water, the
roots of plants fail to get the material
uCNCSSdiN tHCl SIONtu.
In retaining meadow land the first
effort is to drain off the surplus water;
bitches are dug low enough to draw the
water. perhaps two feet below the sur
face; but If the meadow be composed
entirely of decayed vegetation, adj
vanced to just tat stage which makes
it SO compact that the water can not
pass through it, for some time after the
bitches are dug the water fails to read
lily drain of, except near the banks of
the bitches. Such land needs few
inches of sand to bring it into favor
able condition for vegetable growth.
When it can be done without too much
expense, the application of sand will be
much more beneficial if mixed with four
or five inches in depth of the soil, because
by mixing the sand with the muck it
secures combination of materials that
is highly favorable to rapid decompo-
sition. thus soon bringing the soil into
that state which encourages rapid
growth of grass. While surface appli.
cation is not as good. it is often bene.
fetal. especially if good dressing Of
manure is applied at the same time,
and liberal quantity of grass seed sowp
and well narrowed in.
The winter season is the most favora-
BILE time to apply sand to low land, be-
cause time is worth less, and the mead
ows are frozen so that full loads can be
carried over it without danger of cut
ting the land up.-Mdssachusetts Plough

Railway Ties.

There are now i'm the United Statea
, about 10000 miles of railway tracks,
including sidings and second track,
This, with the number of tieA

existing roads. Assuming the average
lite OF ties to he six years, the number
of renewals each year would be 63.S0O,-
600. or 40 ties 10 each mile of track.
We do not know just how many ties an
acre of average woodland will Weld,
but calling the number 100, which is a
fair estimate. the quantity of woodland
required per mile of track for each
year $ renewals would be Ala acres, and
the quantity required for the yearly re-
newals upon $4,000 miles of track
would lie 63S. 900 acres. or an area not
quite as large as one-half OF the State
of Delaware. On the basis of present
mileage this does not seem to be i very
alarming inroad on our forests as far
a railway ties are concerned, especial
ly when it is borne in mind that a new
growth of timber is everywhere in
progress where the existing forests are
not being destroyed. Looking at the
matter from tree planting point Of
view Ga mode of providing against Q
scarcity of tie material that is begit-
mig to attract considerable attention..
the results are somewhat different.
Surprising the renewals of ties for the
present mileage of 145, coo were all to
be made from planted trees, what
would be the extent of plant required?
An acre contains 100 square rods. 1t
one tree is planted to each rod and
grows to Il size that will make two ties,
the yield would be 800 ties per acre. or
2e4. 500 per square mile of planted
trees This would require planted
area of Bib square miles-a little less
than one-fourth of the area of the State
of Rhode ISland--to produce ties
enough for one yearly renewal of 63.-
100000 ties for l45.0OO square miles of
track, or a planted area of 1869 square
miles. which is 230 square miles less
than the area of the State of Delaware,
to produce ties enough for six yearly re-
newals, or 332. 500. 900 ties for the ex-
listing track mileage of 10000 miles
