SCIENCE IN THE DAIRY.

Some practical Woodworking far
mers show disposition to disparage
scientific matters, utterly uncon-
scious of the fact that in many cases
they are really following scientific
methods. They accept the results of
research and experiment as presented
in the form of separators. creamers,
thermometers, refrigerators, antisep-
tics, and all the hosts of utensils and
processes, without inquiry as to how
or why these things have come into
use. 1t may be argued that as the
vast multitude of people who travel
by railway know or care nothing
about Stevenson or locomotives, but
simply accept and use the results, so
the dairyman may do likewise. But
the cases are rot analogous; few
people who travel make their living
by railways, while the dairyman
earns his by dairy work, and the one
who makes himself acquainted with
the reasons why" of what he is do
ing, and finds out something of the
principles which underlie his
work, has a great pull over his
and will succeed where an
ignorant man woold fail Agricul-

putting one-half cup of minced
onions into cup each of vinegar
and molasses, simmering on the
stove for half an hour and then
straining. A teaspoonful of this
strip taken frequently will relieve
severe cases of cough and hoarse-
ness.
1t is claimed that onions, as an
article of food, are excellent blood
purifiers, greatly improving the COM
plexions, and, of course, entirely
harmless. AS a nervine, they are
very beneficial, either cooked or raw,
and, if eaten in the natural state, the
addition of little salt or pepper
makes them more palatable. The
large, imported variety, are much
less pungent and disagreeable to the
taste than the smaller native growth,
but equally efficient in remedial ac-
ton Good Housekeeping.

THE LOST Art OF ROADMAKING

The art of roadmaking in the coun-
try, and especially in the United
States, is a lost art. The greatest
roadmakers of the world were the
Romans, and the remains OF those
magnificent arteries of the great EN-
pire are yet to be found in various
parts of the world, though in most
cases in a state of decay and neglect
The Romans were great in all their
undertakings. There was nothing
shoddy or superfcialin their methods
in whatever they undertook as an
imperial enterprise. The famous
Appian Way still recalls the methods
OF these great road builders. BY
means of solidlv built roads stretch
ing in parallel and perpendicular lines
across the country they were able to
march their troops with the grea test
possible expedition. These roads
varied in width, and were always
broad, and in morasses and fens were
sometimes forty and fifty feet in
width. During the dark ages these
roads were suffered to fall into decay,
and countries in Europe now trav-
ersed by excellent roads were stuck
in the mud, as most of the people of
the United States are at present every
autumn and spring. In fact, the
country roads of the United States
may be fairly described in preamble
to an Act OF Parliament in 1875 as
tedious and noisome to travel on"
1t is only about a hundred years
since England pulled herself out of
the mud and began building those
solid, excellent roads which have so
enriched the people of England and
contributed so immensely to their
comfort, health and happiness. The
Westminster paving act of 1862 may
be regarded as the beginning of the
better state of things now shown by
English roads. In 1869, Arthur
Zoney gave most graphic descrip-
ton of the terrors OF English country
roads, and numerous other accounts
fully corrOborate his narrative. In
Scotland things were not any better.
So bad were the roads there that |
oatmeal, turf, straw and other arti-
Giles were carried on horseback and it |
took common carrier a fortnight |
tor his journey between Selkirk and |

CONCERNING COLTS.

The American Dairyman, which
spoke few weeks since of superior
colts becoming inferior horses, gives
poor colts chance this week, as fol-
lows:
The now famous horse, Temple
Bar, was not very promising when
he was young, and his owner sold
him for five hundred dollars. He inn
proved with age, but was traded to
his present owner for another horse
and only a few hundred dollars in
money. Just what he is now worth
it is impossible to state, but as he
has won the ten thousand dollar
prize at Detroit, and is in good con-
dition, it is certain that he is very
valuable. Doubtless there are many
young horses which only need careful
and patient training to bring out
great excellencies, either for speed or
work, of which they have, as yet,
given but little indication
BY the way, five hundred dollar
colt is not considered an excessively
poor piece Of horsefesh, in some
places.

CARE OF FARM MACHINERY.

Of farm machinery, the Farm,
Stock and Home says:
Take any tool used on farm and
consider what small proportion OF
the yearit is in actual use. The most
costly implement-say the binder-is
not used to exceed week on a quar-
ter-section farm. A corn planter,
costing one-fourth the price of a
binder is used two or three days !;
potato digger, worth ten dollars,
comes out for one day and is again
retired. A two hundred dollar silage
making outfit does a weeks work
and then stands around rusting to
death the other ffty-one weeks"
AS matters now stand farmers
must have tools to work with, but
in the purchasing and care thereof
lies the secret of more than one mort
gage The accumula ton of the last
named article is an extremely simple
operation for the farmer Listen to
what the agents of all labor saving
machinery have to say; after listen
ing believe and buy, for truth is
abroad in the earth. 1t makes no diff
ference whether the article under con-
sideration is of any practical use or
not, or whether you have the where
with to pay for it. Your note is
good Wax fat in your collection of
labor-savin contrivances, fill the
house, barn and cover over twenty
acres of land with them, and trust in
the ability Of the sheriff for the col
lection of the notes. All this will add
also to the beauty Of the auction
bills and arouse the envy of your
fellow men for your vast powers of
bringing together curiosities from
different parts of the earth. If you
are confdentially informed that
oranges can be grown forty-four
degrees north of the equator, pur-
chase several thousand trees at once.
Which, being translated, means
that farmers must use their own
minds and judgment in their own
business, regardless of what agents
or anybody else say. Ascertain by
actual figures what machinery is
necessary to the profit of the farm,
buy that and no more, and after
buying take care oft. A we'll made
set of farming tools, on an ordinary
sized farm, properly used and prop
erly housed, ought to last many
years.

Edinburgh, distance of only thirty
eight miles, and coach and six re-
quired six days to go from Edin-
burgh to Glasgow and return, dis
tance of forty-four miles More than
century ago London began the
work of extending roads into the
country. This movement was, OF
course, violently and obstinately OPP
posed by those to whom it proved to
| be of the greatest benefit But the
work was carried.on, and, under the
direction of such engineers as Rennie
and Telford, England now boasts
roads that are not excelled anywhere
except by that imperial accomplish
ment of the first Napoleon, the road
over the Simplon Pass. The result
is what was foreseen by the intelligent
and persistent advocates of good
roads. The country has been made
immensely richer and more attrac-
tive and both town and country i'm
measurably benefited. In the United
States intelligent roadmaking in the
country is, as general thing, almost
wholly unknown. The ridiculous
misapplication of rustic labor and
foolishness known as woodworking"
is the gravest farce an ordinarily in
year after year. But the farce goes
gravely on year after year. If here
and there city begins to agitate the
cause of good roads into the country
in the interest of both country and
city residents it is opposed with
much the same argument and OBJ
stinacy that good roads were op-
posed in England a century ago.
The fact that it has been proved in
other countries that good country
roads have benefited the country on
the whole far more than the cities is
fact country jewellers, as rule, are
ignorant of and apparently cannot
understand or appreciate. The sug-
gestion, then, that has been called
out by worlds fair matters that a
practical exhibition of the art of
roadmaking be one of the features
Of the fair is one that if adopted will
be among the most fruitful of good
results to the people of the United
States. When the people once thor
oughly understand that in securing
good roads they are adding to their
comfort, wealth and happiness there
will be an era of roadmaking in the
United States such as has never been
witnessed on so immense a scale since
the days of the Romans The ma
tional government once undertook
this work, and had it not been for
the invention of railroads the coun-
try roads of the United States would
now probably be among the best in
the world. But the railroads can
never supply the place Of good wagon
roads, and the development of a sys-
tenn of good roads in any state will
dem onstrate that fact so clearly that |
the example would soon be followed
by other states.-[ Chicago Herald.
