CALF REARING.

A practical Stratfordshire farmer, writ
ing to the British Agricultural Gazette,
says that after thirty years experience in
the rearing of calves on large scale he
has found it the most profitable branch
of his business. It hardly needs to be
added that he has made a business of it,
that is to say, gone about it in a sensible
and business-ike manner, studying the
conditions of success, and neglecting
nothing likely to conduce to 1t. Some
of his experience may be useful to others,
and he has set good example worthy
of imitation in freely giving the public
the benefit of it. Calves, this gentleman
says, should never be allowed to lie out
in open pastures during the first year of
their existence, but should be brought
into yards or sheds every night and
allowed as much good old hay as they
will eat. They should also be given the
bucket the first thing IN the morning be-
fore they go out. For this latter pur-
pose he mixes them Cruel made Of best
Scotch oatmeal, at the rate of about
penny-worth per day, mixed with half a
gallon of water, and given in Vshaped
troughs in the open yard, not more than
ten or twelve calves being allowed to feed
together. This prevents them from fill
ing themselves with stagnant ditch water
and lot of unsuitable green food, by
which they get distended and liable to
various ailments, such as quarter i'll, red
water, and other things. The liquid
mixture is continued up to the middle
of November, when they are brought in
from the pastures and put on cake, due
allowance of which during the first win
ter is indispensable to the future growth
and we'll doing of every calf, whatever
it may be intended for. These few hints
may seem simple, but coming from a
successful, practical man they are thor
oughly worthy of attention.-Rural

ROAD DRAINAGE,

The one thing necessary to good
road-earth, gravel, macadam or paved
is thorough drainage of the founda-
ton, declares John M. Stahl, of Illinois.
Money has been misapplied in road-mak
ing because Of neglect of thorough
drainage, even whel the money has been
used to build roads of a material that
should give them permanent character.
On the Western prairies, where the nat
ural drainage is poor, undrained gravel
roads have suddenly become mud roads
when put to the seve.e test of long
rainy spell in winter and early spring.
Not the least unfortunate result of this
has been a prejudice against gravel roads
in particular, and . scarcely less pro-
nounced distrust of permanent roads il
general. Lack of drainage was the real
cause Of the failure.
Whether the road is to be of earth,
gravel or macadanl, the earth roadbed
should be graded, GROWING it twelve to
fourteen feet wide, and twelve to eight
cen inches higher in the middle than at
the edges. Along each edge should be
cut a shallow ditch. This is correct
general statement, which, of course,
should be modified to suit peculiar cir
cumstances. Thus, in u very hiily
country, especially if the soil washes
easily, the bitches should not be cut at
the sides, as they are not necessary, and
will become serious gullies. In a billy
country it is not necessary to crown the
roadbed so high, but the GROWING must
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1892-08-05

always be sufficient to insure ready sur
face drainage. Twelve to fourteen feet
in width is sufficient. Making the road
wider has been found needless expense
With those soils and subsoils specially
well adapted 10 drainage, GROWING the
roadbed and cutting the bitches at the
sides will secure the drainage; but where
the soil and subso;i are not favorable to
drainage, additional measures must be
taken. In the country in which | re-
side, gravel road has been made for
twenty miles, near the Mississippi River
bluffs. This road is on a soil and
subsoiL decidedly graveIly, giving splen-
did drainage. This gravel road is now
eighteen years old, and has proved salts
factory. The only means taken TO Sc
cure drainage was to crown the roadbed
little in low places. To make gravel
road in this way over the greater part
of the same country would be waste of
money, for in most places the soil is n
black prairie loan, and the subsoil a
tenacious clay.
1t has been found quite satisfactory
in most localities, having black surface
sou duu CAV SuDSOli, lt lay dFdtu Oh
tile along each side, near the edge of
the roadbed This has been found a
better location than near the middle of
the roadway. The Office of the tile is
to carry off water brought up from be-
low rather than water sinking IN from
above. In some localities it is necessary
to use three drains-one line of tile be-
meath the center of the roadway, and
one under each ditch at the side. 1t
seems unnatural to put the tile under the
side bitches, but this location mas been
proved best.
When the roadbed is to be graveled
or macadamized, the browning earth
foundation should be nicely smoothed
and then rolled until quite solid. K Is
we'll, also, in this case to put the clay
subsoil from the bitches on to the sur
face. When rolled, it makes a hard,
smooth surface, almost impervlous to
water, and over which will flow, off to
the bitches at the sides, the rainwater
that may sink through the gravel or
macadam. When the surface is to be of
earth only, the clay subsoil should be
kept underneath, and the natural soil be
placed on top. The surface soil will
usually afford much better drainage than
the subsoils, and make "a better road
surface. Agriculturist.

The Great Salt Desert of Asia.

Some seventy odd miles south of Tehe-
ran, in Persia, is g large tract of land
known as the Great Salt Desert of Asia,
and wonderful curiosity it is. A trav-
eller, G. E. Biddulph, with a party Wis
tied the section and gives very inter-
esting account of what he saw. The salt
tract is great area, being covered with
an incrustation of solid salt of various
depths, and resembles somewhat vast
frozen lake. From the outer edge for
about three miles toward the centre of
the field the salt is found to be soft with
an admixture of earth. Beyond this dis
lance the salt began to assume more the
appearance of solid ice, and will sustain
the weight of horses, mules, camels, etc.
At a distance of about eight miles towards
the centre it was necessary to employ the
service Of large hammer and an iron
tent peg to break off a piece of this
phenomenal incrustation to carry away as
a souvenir. Boston Cultivator.

Oatmeal Becoming Popular.

The curious will note that one of the
most noticeable features about the ex-
port trade of Boston for the month Of
May was the increase in oatmeal sent
abroad. There was gain of more than
100000 pounds in this item as compared
with year ago. Johnson described
oats as an article which Englishmen fed
to then horses and Scotchmen to them
selves. But evidently, from the way in
which the oatmeal trade is growing, the
Scotchmen are converting the world to
their way of eating, if not their way of
thinking. Journal.

chilling November drizzle gave to the
familiar trees forlorn, almost CHASTITY
aspect. His heart warmed as he pic
tured to himself a wife watching for
him, with welcome smile, from their
cosy parlor, dinner ready, and long,
restful evening before them.
But, as he drew near home, no cheer
full light streamed from door or window.
All seemed as dark and deserted as the
dripping street. He threw the reins to
the boy, whose duty was to hold the
horse on his professional rounds, and
flung open the door with an irritated,

"Confound it. Why isn't there a

teeth, and have not had a chance to

A wailing cry from the nursery sent
the voice hurrying thither, and the doc
tor, with some inaudible words pro-
ceeded to light the gas and take off his
wet overcoat. The house was cold, the
parIor had evidently been arranged by
Hibernian hands, an odor Of something
burning stole in from the kitchen. A

her face wore a weary expression, and
she had on the same blue gown which
she had donned for breakfast. The baby
at length slept in her arms. She held

laundering in, but already baby's light
slumber had been disturbed and the pro-
cess of soothing and singing had to be

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

4 hen wants quiet while setting.
1t is good economy to feed milk to
poultry.
Stone drinking vessels are cooler than
tin ones.
Brains without industry won't pay the
mortgage off the farm.
Wheat is rich in material for growth
and stimulates egg-laying.
Young chickens especially are in
clined to crowd on the roosts; prevent
this.
The best remedy for the ravayos of the
asparagus beetle is hen with brood of
young chicks.
Breed in June if you wish to have the
colt foaled so that both it and the dam
can be ready for new grass in the
spring.
If a change is to be made in the
rations of chicken it should be done
gradually, so that the system may have
time to adap; itself to the change.
1t will be moe comfortable for the
fowls during the warm weather if the
heavy wooden door be taken off its
hinges and one of fine netting substi-
tuted.
A few extra dollars invested now in
the service of first-class stallion will
come back to you with interest within
few months, in the much greater value
of the colt.
While ducks will remain all day on
the water, they should not be made to
sleep On damp floors. Plenty of straw
should be used aud cold drafts should
be guarded against.
Much of the profit of the farm must
come from saving little things. In this
the chickens are good aid. They pick
up and turn to account many items that
would otherwise be wasted.
Eggs that have not been fertilized
keep the best, and for this reason if the
eggs are to be stored away 1t is good
plan to take away the roOsters ten days
before commencing to save up the eggs.
The new crop of wheat will come up
on market more nearly bare than for a
long time before. This would appear to
indicate a better price for the crop, but
prophesying in such matters is uncertain
work
While, if properly managed, tbs stor-
ing away of eggs at this season for SELL
ing in the winter Can readily be mado
profitable, there is always some risk. Tho
eggs do not bring as good prices az flesh
ones.
The business of poultry-raising should
never be spoken Of slightly. Those who
have tried it know that business ability,
system and industry are essential to sue
cess. These are just the qualities de-
manded for success in other lines.

sULPHATE OF COPPER FOR SMUT IN GRAIN

sULPHATE OF COPPER FOR SMUT IN GRAIN.
By soaking seed wheat in a weak So
luton of copper, the dreaded smut can
be averted. The sulphate of copper is
used at the rate of one pound to 400
pounds of wheat seed, and is prepared
by dissolving in warm water. The
wheat should be in sacks which will adj
NIT the water, so that all the grain may
get the benefit of the soaking. Three
or four minutes is all the time required
for the wheat to become thoroughly
saturated, and when the sack is taken
out of the mixture it should be placed in
draining trough to allow the water to
escape. When the water in the barrel
gets too low more can be added, and to
keep up the strength Of the solution
more sulphate of copper should be dis
solved and poured in the barrel now and
then. This is not only a remedy for the
smut in wheat, but for all grains subject
to this disease. The sulphate of cop
per, also known as blue vitriol, is poi
sonous, and care should be taken that
the stock get none of it, otherwise it
might prove fatal. It does not seem to
have any ill-effect on poultry and pigs.
This remedy is in great use in the Pacific
States.-American Farmer.
