No Central Supervision Provided.

a bill pending in the Pennsylvania
legislature provides for a uniform road
tax of seven and half mills, to be raised
in each county by a board of road COM
missioners, and expended under their d.
rectioA by county engineer, provided
that not less than 40 per cent. of the road
tax shall be expended in macaaamizing
or other permanent improvement. The
act further provides that the county en-
gineer shall be appointed by the court of
common pleas, that the roads shall be
classified into highways, roads andianes,
that the county shall be subdivided into
districts, each in charge of a supervisor,
and that he shall make plans and specifi-
cations for all work upon roads, and re-
port at stated periods concerning the
same. The only defect in the proposed
plan is its failure to provide some CEN
trail supervision for the entire state, so
that the roads SHOULD be constructed and
maintained on a uniform system in the
different counties.

Convict Work on County Roads.

A correspondent of The Louisville
Courier-JoWrnal thinks that it would be
good thing in all respects if persons I'M
dergoing confinement for minor offenses
were employed in lettering the condi-
ton of county roads. He says:
''The proposition to work the county
roads with Jail prisoners convicted of
misdemeanors seems worthy of public
attention. The city is hardly less inter-
ested than the county in having good
county roads, especially near the city,
for not only do many of our citizens use
them, but upon their condition depends
the cheap and quick delivery of the
larger part of what we live on. With
better roads we can have better and
cheaper meats, vegetables, fruits, milk
and butter; cheaper hay and corn for
our stock, less wear upon every city
wagon or carriage that goes into the
country. Besides, the people of any city
have direct interest in the building up
of the country Immediately around it.
"The market gardeners around Chi
cagO maintain many hundreds of the
business houses of that city. I suspect
that $4,000 expended annually by the
city of Louisville in keeping up good
roads extending, say, five miles from the
city limits would yield benefits to the
city five times greater in proportion than
any sum we could expsnd upon any rail-
road. And yet the benefits from rail
roads are SO great that we have wisely
expended many millions in creating
them. 1t may be said that the country
should build its own roads.
"But many cities find it to their own
interest to build railroads into counties
the people of which do not contribute
dollar toward building them. May it not
likewise be to the interest Of Louisville
to develop, by roads, the country around
her, even if the country people do not
see the Importance Of it?
"Our county roads are now worked by
the people who live near them. If they
should be worked by the Jail prisoners
there would be no interference with our
city working men. On the contrary, it
would only benefit them by giving them
more and better and cheaper food. AS
it is the prisoners are useless, cooped up
and being diseased. To work such as are
able bodied would be better for them and
great gain to both country and city"

Pennsylvania suggestions.

The Pennsylvania state board of ag-
riculture, in session at Bethlehem re-
Gently, spent one day discussing the mat.
ter of getting better roads, and finally
voted suggestions for road legislation as
follows:
First-Privilege Of working out road
taxes to be repealed.
Second-Supervisors to employ labor
where best value can be obtained, pref
erence to be given to home labor.
Third-That all commodities of equal
value shall be taxed at the Same rate as
real estate.
Fourth-That some efficient head in
each county shall be appointed to pre-
pare plans and supervise the work Of
road building.

The shape for Road Surface.

The shape to be given road surface
has been subject of much discussion.
In order to get good water shed, on es-
sential to long wear, many roads have
been made so rounding in the center as
to be uncomfortable to vehicles. 1t is
now generally conceded that the cross
section should be curve and that the
height of road should be one-sixtieth
of its width, that is, q roadhed thirty
feet wide, should be six inches higher in
the center than at the sides.

1t would be impossible for any town
to bear the expense of macadamizing all
its main roads at once. The cost would
eat up the entire property of the town.
Such proposition is manifestly absurd
on its face. But the cost of macadam-
izing a short portion OF the main roads
OF the town each year, in pursuance of a
complete plan which weuld spread the
work over fifty years, would not be great.
1t would not be so great each year as the
cost of maintaining the extra teams
which bad roads compel farmers and
teamsters to maintain.
In many parts of Canada they have as
good roads as Europe-roads which age
a daily blessing to every traveller, and
which invariably draw from the visitor
of New England habitat the wonder how
so poor and sparsely settled country as
Canada can have SO much better roads
than thickly settled, rich New England.
The answer is simple: The Canadian
road makers began with on intelligent
plan and purpose. For years they have

their means would allow. Every season
great piles of stone are broken and
heaped all along the roadside. When a
hole develops itself enough of these
broken stones retaken from the nearest
pile to mend the defect while it is slight.
When the road making season comes
on, what is left Of the broken stones is
used to extend the macadam Every
year the area of good roads extends, and
every year the good roads grow better.
If, fifty years ago, the business of road
making in this little state had been I'M
dertaken with a similar purpose and pur-
sued with similar economy and skill,
there would not today be single mile of
bad, or even poor, road in Connecticut.
If similar plan should be adopted this
year, another half century would see the
same result, without any appreciable
yearly increase in the cost of road max
ing, and with constantly decreasing ex-
penditure for horse flesh and wagons

AT recent meeting of the New Jersey
board of agriculture Mr.. Frank Keefe, of
Mercer county, in a paper on road max
ing, recommended that where the ex-
pense can be borne asphalt be used;
where stone is plenty, Telford road;
where districts are thinly settled, six
inch bed of stone covered with a two
inch layer OF gravel. He also recon-
mends especial care in maintaining roads
after they are built, and suggests the
giving of prizes by the state each year to
the counties having the best roads.

A new tire ordinance went into effect
in st. Louis Jan. /. 1t provides for a
double tax to be levied on all vehicles
that do not have tires of specified width.
The width of tire is to be proportional TO
the size of the axle. A steel or iron axle
one and one-quarter inches must have
tire at least one and one-eighth inches
wide, and so up to four inch axle, which
requires five zach tire. A like set Of
specifications are given for wooden axles.
Vehicles with axles less than one and
one-quarter inches are not subject TO the
ordinance.

CAUSE OF STRIEGY MILK.

Stringy milk, thought to be caused by
dry feeding and the want of sufficient
water, is really due to some infammatory
condition of the cow. The feeding of
plants and ANIMALS is alike in this, that
the food digested or utilized depends for
quantity upon the amount of water sup
piled and by which it can be dissolved
or diluted. If a cow is stinted in water
the whole system becomes disturbed and
an inflammatory condition is set up which
disturbs every vital organ, and especially
the udder. Fibrine is product of in
fammation, and when this appears in the
milk it forms stringy clots, which are
elected from the teats with difficulty.
1t is not that the milk is too thick be-
cause Of a deficiency Of water in it. If
the system is short of water the milk will
decrease in quantity in even ratio. But
whenever the animal is diseased in any
way the milk glands in sympathy lecome
diseased, and necessarily the character OF
the milk is changed. Sufficient and
pure water is necessary for the health of
the COW. When the health suffers from
this cause the milk becomes impure, be-
cause in disease every secretion of the
system is diseased, and at this season the
water supply calls for more than usual
atteption.-Nelo York Times.

PROTECTING TENDER ROSES.

moderate light dressing of coarse stable

salt meadow hay or other coarse similar
material as a protection. A very slight
covering will preserve the plants. The
main point to be observed is to have the
plants shaded, thereby preventing the

the winter months. 1t is not so much

Don't be afraid of keep your dairy
stable too clean and parlor-like.
Composing manure reduces bulk and
saves in the amount of handling.
When at the fair study and compare
the various breeds of fowls on exhibit
ton.
Many farmers fail because they are
farmers by circumstances and not by
choice.
Clean agricultural fairs have certain
moral value as we'll as a financial and
educational value.
Mixed husbandry is advisable, and
frequent seeding of clover, to keep the
subson open to the admission of air and
moisture.
If the hen that stole her nest comes off
with brood and you have not proper
place for them, kill at once for they will
die one by one.
To the market gardener as we'll as the
ordinary farmer an exhibition of his
products and the various varieties that
he grows is of the utmost value.
Sheep will thrive on almost any grass
that grows on dry, rolling land; but
they greatly prefer short, sweet heritage,
like blue grass, and they do best on it.
Mares used to warm stables cannot be
turned loose on rocky hills in cold and
storm and thrive; nor can they produce
the colts they should and would under
care.
It is not fiction but sober fact that
western farmers sometimes moved their
stables rather than haul out the manure.
Those farmers now haul out all the manure
they can.
When you have the stables all ready
for winter use, good coat of whitewash
will add to their freshness as well as
looks. Add bit of glue to the wash
and it will stick better.
We have never known of a man get
ting rich in the poultry business, but have
seen them earning comfortable living,
making even more money than big far
mers. Start small and grow gradually.
Brown Leghorns are not as extensively
bred on the farm as other varieties. For
village fowl they are unsurpassed, as
their pIumage is such that it does not
soil or show dirt. They are remarka-
bly, hardy and active fowl and eat con-
siderable-but pay for it many fold in
eggs.
If the farmer would give the same at
tention to his poultry that he does to his
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, they would
succeed equally as we'll on equal capital
expended, or more properly, invested.
Provide light substantial buildings, good
food, keep houses and yards clean and
neat, and shut out vermin and there
should be success in nearly every in
stance.

FODDER CORN.

Weeds are hardly less injurious in
corn intended for fodder than in that
rown mainly for the grain. In both
Eases the object must be to get as large a
growth of stalk as possible. The larger
the stalk is the richer and sweeter it be-
comes. If there is room and light this
sweetness is changed to the starch of the
grain. But as fodder corn is always
sown or drilled more thickIy than that
for grain, if the season is unfavorable it
is injured all the more by the presence of
weeds. Fodder corn that does not tassel
is scarcely worth harvesting, as COWS will
only eat it when forced to do so by
hunger, and then fall off in flesh or milk
on such diet. The planted corn that
can be cultivated at least one way never
utterly fails, as fodder corn often does
when the season is not favorable. IF
good for nothing else, it makes splendid
fodder, and sometimes better than that
from which ripened ears have been
taken. In growing fodder corn it is best
to have a large weight in few stalks
rather than in many, so if we could grow
the same weight per acre by sowing
broadcast we would still prefer to drill
far enough apart to run a cultivator be-
tween the rows. In most seasons, how
ever, the large weight will be in the
corn that has been cultivated and has
grown large enough to produce incipient
cars Courier journal.
