if properly set, trained and pruned, the
cheapest and pretticst fence known
to me. With over a mile of
neatly trimmed hedge in sight
from the street on my farm and about a
mile of roadside bard naples, row on
each side, the farm looks far better
from the street and along the street
than it could with bare fences. Hedges
and rows of trees with neatly mown
roadsides become parts Of restful and
pleasing landscape. Fences, .brambles
and rubbish never can.
Neatly mown roadsides-''aye, there's
the rub" If we had gravel roads. we
could reach this desirable end. Each
farm-owner could grade and seed his
roadsides down to the gutter, pick off
all stones and rubbish, and NOW the
strips by machine or hand, and get
enough hay to pay. But with mud
roads 1t is almost impossible. The
street, part way along my farm, is
graveled. There the naples fare we'll.
But where there is no gravel, in mud.
dy time neighbors from miles beyond
will drive out on the roadside next to
naples. They have nearly ruined a
number Of naples, in spite of stones
placed near each tree as reminder to
"keep off the trees" And my neigh
bors are quite as good as the average.
1t is hopeful sign that humanity tries
to get out of the mud. I only remark
that the best way to do it is to gravel
the roadbed, and that 1 should like to
be taxed, or head subscription, to ex.
tend the gravel through my farm and
three miles beyond. Then I could in
dulge in more satisfactory roadside
orname ntation.

anything else. They are the reservoirs
for water, which, mixed by heavily
loaded wheels, grinding it into the soil
and making mud, renders it impossible
for water to break its way through.
Over the drain should be foot or more
of subsoil to keep the frost out, then
followed by stone to depth of six or
eight inches, pounded fine on top and
covered with gravel. There will always
be an outlet under the stone to the
drain below, and if its outlet is kept
open in lew places, the surface of the
roadbed will always be dry. Such a
road cannot become muddy except for
an inch or so on the surface.
1t costs something to thoroughly
underdrain roadway and improve it
after this manner, but, once done, it
will last practically forever if the drain
outlets are kept open. Doing little
piece each year, the people In any road
district may in time have good roads,
that will need only trifling attention to
keep in repairs. 1t is far better than
the wasteful way of trying to improve
long sections of roadway every year,
and doing generally quite as much
harm as good. The difference between
having good and bad roads to market
does practically affect the value of
their land more than most farmers
think. If they appreciated this as they
should, thousands of them would take
a greater interest in the way their road
is worked out than they have ever done
before.

Farmers Should Experiment.

AS to whether the soil needs nitro
gen, potash or phosphates or combi.
nation of them can usually be told BY
actual trial. Many farmers will say
they are too busy to experiment, they
have no time to throw away on such
things or money to waste, etc. But why
should a man pay out two or three
hundred dollars every year for fertilizers
on his crops because his neighbors use
them and perhaps from some fields on
his farm not get that many cents worth
OF benefit? A man certainly ought not
to be too busy to know what he is doing
or whether he is making any profit at
it, but what else is he doing when he
uses fertilizers by guesswork or because
they paid some one else? Nor is this
all; the commercial fertilizer has not
yet reached perfection in all Of its de.
tails. Nor have farmers yet learned all
about how and when to apply them to
the best profit. So the progressive
farmer must needs keep on experiment
ing to keep up with the times if he
does not wish to get left behind.

from the COW into an inflated pig or

Improving Country Roads.

A writer in the Wagon Maker, on
the above subject, concludes that it is a
work too little thought of, too negli.
gently done, and often SO misappliei as
to make roads worse rather than better
To see the black, mucky soil on the
sides Of roadways plowed up and scrap
ed into the centre, there to remain an
impassable ride during the summer,
finally degenerating into an unfathom-
able slough of mud the next winter or
spring, is enough to discourage the man
who knows how roads should be made,
and even force him to regard laziness
in working out the road tax one Of the
excusable sins, if not actually positive
virtue.
In our climate, deep freezing com.
bined with too much water is the bane
of roadways. We cannot altogether
prevent deep freezing, but if there be
ample underground drainage, it will not
effect great damage. The first object.
then, of the road maker should be to
secure good drainage. Without this
ridging the road only makes the mud
deeper, and even stone or gravel do
little good. It is often forgotten that
the chief advantage from using an
abundance Of stone and gravel in road
making is the incidental drainage
which these afford, even when piled in
the road with no idea of this use. If
the center of the road is underlaid with
stone, and then ridged up with earth or
gravel, it does for years form good
drain to keep the roadbed dry. But
sooner or later frost will penetrate to
these stones and upheave them. Then
the last condition of the improved road
way will be worse than the first.
The fact is often forgotten that in
dry, compacted road, well ridged up,
the soil freezes deeper than it does in
the field. This is especially SO where
the road is exposed to winds and swept
bare of snow. The drain under the
roadbed should be not less than three
fee. deep, and, if possible, four feet
would be still better. Whether made
with tile or stone, it should be laid as
carefully and the joints covered as
closely as if it were laid in the fields.
Then, with good outlets and side drains
to conduct the water from the center
in all the low places, and with compar-
atively little ridging up with stone or
gravel, the roadbed will be kept in good
condition for years.
1t is not the amount or sharpness of
the ridge in the center that makes a
roadway good, but the character Of the
surface and its uniform slope to either
side. Ruts spoil roads quicker than

Profits of the Barn Yard.

The value Of manure made by ami
mails, both as to quantity and quality,
will depend upon the character Of the
food, as all will readily see. Some foods
are richer in fertilizing elements.
The droppings of the animal are that
proportion of the food which the sys-
tenn does not utilize, converted into the
most convenient and active shape for
application to the soil. Cotton seed
meal, for instance, about which SO
much has recently been said, has a
manurial value of three times more
than clover hay and thirty times more
than turnips. 1t is particularly rich
in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash, elements that are so conspicuously
necessary in plant growth; and whatever
food contains these elements in large
quantities will make highly fertiliz-
ing manure. The value of manure
from different articles of food has been
estimated by Lawes to be as follows:
Cotton seed meal, twenty seven dollars
and eighty'six cents per ton; linseed
meal, nineteen dollars and seventy.two
-cents;beans, fifteen dollars and seventy
three cents; wheat bran, fourteen dol
lars and sixty-four cents; Indian meal,
six dollars and sixty.three cents; oat
straw, two dollars and ninety cents,
and turnips eighty cents.
Block made an estimate of the quan.
tity Of manure from a horse fed upon
hay, oats and grass, and concluded that
one hundred pounds of hay would yield
one hundred and seventy-two pounds
of manure; one hundred pounds of oats
two hundred and four pounds of man.
ure; and one hundred pounds of grass
forty-three pounds of manure. If full
fed horse will make about twelve
thousand pounds of solid manure and
three thousand pounds of liquid in
year. Such manure will contain about
fifty per cent Of nitrogen, and so if We
reckon, as DR.. Oelmer states, that two
thirds ofthe solid and liquid droppings
are saved, we have five tons of manure
10 every we'll fed horse, with the large
amount Of nitrogen above indicated.
The drorpings of cows are not SO
rich in ammonia as those of the horse,
but they lose nothing from the heating
process, and they really contain more
nitrogen. In an experiment it was
found that a COW fed upon twenty-four
pounds of hay and twelve and half
pounds of Irish potatoes, varied daily
about one bushel Of solid excrement,
which containes two and half pounds
Of salts of ammonia, potash, soda and
lime. The manurial product of cow
is estimated to be thirty.one thousand
and twenty-five pounds year, which
contain hundred and eighty-nine
pounds of ammonia, seventy one pounds
phosphate of lime, thirty. seven pounds
sulphate of lime, seventy. seven pounds
of lime, twenty -four pounds
Of common salt and fifteen pounds sui.
