The Best Road for Coaching.
IFrom November Century.]

Macadam roads made with volcanic
rock carry a coach better than roads
macadamized with sedimentary rock
This sedimentarv rock disintegrates and
becomes 'wooly" in wet weather,
whereas granite sheds the water much
better On roads that have high crowns
and are narrow, such as can be found
between Cookfield and Friar's Oak in
England, it is extremely difficult to make
good time with heavily laden coach,
because when you pull out to pass a
vehicle your coach no longer runs on a
level, and the wheels which are below
the crown bind and drag heavily. The
best road is made of granite macadam,
slightly undulatil g, and with medium
crown. Over such road horses can go
at a great pace without fatigue Such a
piece of road exists between Reigate and
Crawley, and that distance has been ac-
complished daily for six months with
the same horses, going at the rate of a
mile in three minutes distance nine miles
and one hale, as was done by Mr.. w. &.
Tiffany in 1873, when he "horsed" aud
owned the Brighton coach. Slightly
undulating ground is the easiest for
horses, as it calls for different muscular
action in turn as they go up and down
hill. Any one can prove this by merely
running over the above kind of ground,
when he viii find that in going down
hill he will rest his lungs from the strain
put upon them by rising ground, and
will alternately rest different sets of
muscles and regain his breath. Hence
it is great istake to epdeavor to run
teams up long hill, especially if any of
them are Ia bit gone in the wind.'
Sandy roads, even if th5y are not billy,
are most dis ressing to horses, as they
have no spring. The more spring there
is the better it enables the horse to keep
the vehicle moving; whereas, when the
road is deep, it is a dead pull and very
disheartening.

Educate the Boys.

1t is time that farmers and farmers
boys wake up to this question of better
education for the farm, says Hoard's Dali
ryman. The old idea that farmer does
not need any special education for his
business has cursed the farm, the farmer,
and the country long enough. Agricul-
ture is being organized on the basis of
intelligent brains very rapidly, and there
is a great demand for young men who
are students of their business. Look at
the way the dairy business is organized.
To successfully manage creamery or
cheese factory with modern machinery,
modern markets, and modern methods
like the Babcock test requires that the
manager have mind that is dressed
with knowledge, not stark naked in ig-
norance. The butter maker or cheese
maker must be good mathematician
and understand percentage we'll, for the
patron is demanding his just percent.
In order to meet this demand young men
must educate themselves better. 1t will
get so in a short time that the butter
maker or cheese maker will need diplo-
ma from some good dairy school in order
to easily get and hold place.

Intelligence in Cattle.
From Popular Science Monthly. ]

A cow and steer-the latter two or
three years old-were the only occupants
of the barnyard where the occurrence took
place. A batting of hay was put out to
them, the COW taking possession. The
steer wished to share it; but the COW,
like some higher animals, was selfish and
was bent on taking the whole of it, and
as often as he would man9uvre around
from side to eide to get bite she would
drive him off at the point of her horn.
The steer was SO persistent that at last
the old cows patience gave way, and
making a determined and vicious charge
on him, punished him severely, though
he was her own offspring. The steer
felt badly hurt, not only in body but
evidently in mind as we'll, and imme-
diately started out of the yard and off
believing vengeance at every step in a
language which was unmistakable to the
bystander and which the mother well
understood, as she cea led eating and
listened intently to the threatenings of
what was to come. When these died
away in the distance she resumed her
ration, but with evident apprehension.
In due time the steer was seen returning,
bringing with him a companion larger
and stronger than himself. As they az
preached, the rumblings of rage and
revenge could be again heard, which
grew louder as they came nearer. The
COW took in the situation at once and
was now terror-stricken. As her assail-
ants rushed into the yard, she lodged
them and rushed out at life-and-death
speed, and away toward the rest of the
stock in the field, with her pursuers close
in the track.

Dipping Sheep.
From Sheep Breeder and Wool. Grove

We strongly urge sheepmen every
where to look to the condition of their
flocks, in preparation for the coming
winter. If infested with ticks or lice !,
they should at once be dipped, as no man
can afford to feed insects all the winter,
or in fact at any time. If scab exists
care should be taken TO thoroughly
stamp out the disease and sheds should
be well cleansed with strong solution
of the dip which is used, as the powers
of contagion may be lurking there in
dirty corners. The custom of dipping
has become very general of late and the
wholesome and benetic effects of the
practice have been readily acknowledged
by those who have adopted it. We are
ourselves convinced that it would be
policy to dip every flock, clean or I'M
clean, in dip of good repute, during the
next two months. The sheep being thus
protected from insects and disease, will
thrive much better and come out in good
shape in the spring. Try it. Many of
the sad losses of last winter and consid-
cradle pulling of wool by the sheen
(Which occurred among animals which
we're compelled to be kept in shed), were
due mainly to the fact that the sheep
were not in perfectly clean and healthy
condition before winter set in. We are
satisfied that regular dipping will soon
become part of the general work of
every owner of sheep on this continent
In other countries it is generally adopted
and the sheep are thereby kept in the
best possible condition. Choose a good
dip and use it properly and use it regu,
larly.

Merinos for Mutton.
From National Stockman and Farmer. ]


Here is bit of sheep literature from a
Paris letter in a New England farm
paper of September l, 1892: "a fact COL
nected with sheep farming in France is
the tendency to return to the pure Me
rino breed for mutton as well as wool.
Perhaps the explanation is to be found
in the wool element, for mutton no matter
of what breed, sells at the same prices.
Not so in the wool; the coarser breeds
are here surpassed by the Merinos in
quality and alsu in quantity" This has
been mysobservation for many years,
TheFrench always did like the woolly.
blocky Merino, and only took in hand
some of the coarser breeds on trial; and
they are discarding them. There is
in America real need for only tu c
breeds, the Merinos for general purposes
and the Shropshires to cross upon them
for early maturing lambs. A multiple
ity of breeds is too apt to create a null
tiplicity of nondescript mongrels.

Incrs ase of Sheep.

Since 1860 there has been remarkable
development in the sheep industry of the
United States. During the war and the
period of currency Initiation there was an
abnormal increase, followed naturally by
q disastrous reduction in the number and
value of sheep. Following this depres-
sion came a long period of healthy de-
velopment. From 1871 to 1884 the num-
Der of sheep in the country steadily in
creased from 81, OO0,0 to $4,000, 900 in
round numbers. The value gradually
increased. with some fluctuations. from
1900 600 in 1871 to S124, 900, 900 in
1888 During this period the fleece
doubled in weight an in proved in quail
ity. The importati"ns OF f. reign w".l

25 per cent and the per capita .consump-
tion of wool about 20 per cent, making a
relative decline.
Following the tariff Of 1888, with its
schedule of duties and its classifications
permitting foreign wool Of high value to
come in under low duties, came the first
depression in the sheep industry since
the one after the war. In six years the
value of the sheep in the United States
declined $20,000,000 and the number
100000. During this period the annual
importations of wool averaged over 100,-
100000 pounds, nearly double the aver
age If the preceding II years. Under the
tariff act of 1890 there has already been a
very encouraging Improvement in the in
dustry. From January, 1891, to January,
1892, the number increased 800, 900 and
the value nearly $S,0O0,0O0.

Winter Dairying &.

If 20 tons of good fodder silage can be
raised upon an acre, and two and half
tons of it are equal in feeding value to a
ton of the best hay, which is con-
current testimony, then there is no rea-
son on earth why man cannot care and
and feed winter.dairy SO that the cost Of
silage, grain and hay shall not exceed
SIS, and good cow so fed and kept in a
warm stable and the milk sold attwo
and half cents per quart, shall, in the
five winter months turn to the owner $36
and leave the manure for the labor and
to enrich succeeding crop of silage. Do
not say that this is dairying on paper
we know that it can be accomplished

The principal objection to the separator
on the farm is the labor of turning the
crank, though some of the western dairy
NEE have a tread power, an d the bull is
broken to walk its planks, and with sim
pie milk cooler to bring the fresh-drawn
milk down to 80 or SO degrees, the milk
is skinned as fast as drawn, and this
part of the dairy work co is cheaply
done.

1t may be possible that the cream as it
comes from the separator will be too
dry and when churned there is not
fluid enough to give the necessary fluid
motion or conclusion, and the cream is
not all properly churned, which accounts
for the extra richness of the sbuttermilk.
