Fattening cattle will, as rule, do

When any of the cattle in the herd

When the pigs are well supplied with
warm, comfortable quarters and good
bedding, it will be a good plan to stir

If the stock is comfortably sheltered

considerable saving can be made in the

The body of the trap is made Of four
pieces of six-inch fencing boards twen-

together to make narrow box open at
one end The top piece should be an
inch shorter than the others. Nail the
bottom and top boards to the side

poses

THE object in feeding young fowls
well is to increase size as much as pos

IN order to get eggs in winter the
food must be such as will make blood

FOR BETTER ROADS.
An Agitation Which Is at Present At
tracing General Attention.


The subject of good roads is now &C.
cupying a great deal of attenti on on
the part of the public. The American
nation appears to be gradually awak-
ening to the fact tn at the bad roads of
this country are unworthy of its po-
sition among the nations. We learn
what bad roads bring about when we
read of mud blockades. Large dis
tricts of country are rendered i'm
passable by mud. Almost an entire
state is brought into a condition of
siege by the muddy roads. The farm
ers cannot transport their produce, the
railroads lose freight and the specu-
lators seize the opportunity to advance
prices of produce.
This is what a mud blockade may
mean. The state or region directly af.
fected, the railroads traversing it and
the country at large may all suffer
from it. To avoid such occurrences
we need no lessons from modern times.
1t is true that the nations of Europe
put US to the blush But we may 90
back two thousand years for our in.
structors. The Roman engineers won
their fame largely as roadmakers. The
roads which they built are to-day their
monuments.
Thus we find ourselves very archaic
in the matter of roads. 1t is stated
that in Illinois alone the loss to the
community from bad roads last year
was as much as SIC, OOO, OOO If this
ratio were taken for the whole country
it would give loss Of $500, 900, 900. At
3 per cent such loss would represent
capitalization of 10000, 900, 600, OOO
This is one-sixth of the total wealth of
the country.
The subject of deserted farms has
been a subject of concern in the New
England states. A farm whose outlets
in the spring and fall months are but
canals of mud and cObblestones is just
ly unattractive to the young. They
find the enforced isolation uncomfortable.
But replace the bad roads by macadam-
lied or telfordized surfaces, which do
not feel the spring thawing and which
are always passable, and which are dry

Early Fruit the Most p, .,itable.

With but few exceptions the winter
kinds of apples and pears are twice as
profitable as the early kinds, because
these must be forced on the market
while the keeping kinds may be stored
for long season Of sale. They are
also in demand for the foreign markets
which have no use for the summer va
rieties. The winter kinds are also
more valuable for domestic use. as the
fruits do not come into competition
with the abundant vegetables and
small fruits of the earlier season.
