DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

NEVER buy cheap cows People,
usually, do not want to sel good cows.
Raise your own cows,
THE large farmer may perhaps be ex-
cused for not maintaining good dairy.
The small farmer cannot be thus ex-
cused.
BOGUS butter is rampant in our mar
kets. What are the dairy meetings do
ing to prevent this unholy competition
with honest butter?
WE see it stated that scalding hot
water is the best to cleanse dairy uten-
sils. 1t is not true. Wash them with
cold water, and then apply hot water.
THE COW that is constSntly confined
will suffer in health. No doubt of it.
She may give little more milk, but
she will not give milk as long as if she
had some exercise.
EVERY butter maker who makes the
best butter increases the consumption
of butter. and that makes better prices

Glass is the best cover for a hotbed;
but If it is thought too expensive, the
next best and cheapest cover is very
thin muslin; heavy muslin shades the
bed too much. OF course, the bed will
need further protection from frost and
heavy rains.
llotbeds dry out quickly, especially
if the covering is raised or taken off.
The soil should be kept quite moist,
and when it becomes dry should re.
ceive thorough watering. Not less
than half a gallon of water, applied in
fine spray, should be used to every
square foot Of surface. 1t is good
plan to bank the frame on the outside
with earth, and keep the soil packed
solid against it on the inside. This
will make the bed snug and tight, ant
prevent it from drying out too rapidly
The cover should be taken off severa

planted in open ground, in order tc
harden them.-E S Mead, in Amer

for bad roads, and that is a proper

An Ancient ManuscrIpt.

The discovery of book, or rather Of
linen sheets in the Etruscan language,
an undeciphercd tongue, has been late
ly made by Prof. Krall of Vienna.
Forty years ago a mummy was brought
from Egypt by an Austrian traveller. 1t
was wrapped with linen bands, which
Brugsch Pasha thought to be inscribed
with Ethiopic characters, and Sir Rich
ard Burton thought was Nabathean. A
few known words in the Etrurian text
have enabled Prof. Krall to identify the
manuscript as Etruscan, Etruria was
the home of augury, the great Etruscan
work on divination being in twelve
books. Hardly anything is known of
the origin of the people, but Pro-. Sayce
thinks that it can not be long before the
mysteries of this manuscript are re-
vealed and another page of history laid
bare. IN. Y. Sun. iS.ysr.a

UNEXPECTED WEALTH,
Strange Cases In Which People Have Be-
come Sudderly Rich.


The Daily News recently printed
story which, though in itself only bit
of gossip of the day, has for us certain
intellectual interest. One of its writers
atiirms that in 1883 lady named Burch,
then living in Kensington, went, like a
thousand others, to see the fine ladies
pass on their way to attend a drawing
room at buckingham palace. While
gazing at the show, which, though not
democratic, is an exceedingly pretty
one, she noticed an old gentleman faint
and confused with the pressure of the
crowd which, being composed of Eng
lishmen, pronounced him drunk.
Discerning with better insight that
he was not drunk, but very i'll, Miss
Burch led him to seat, found him
somewhere glass of water, and in a
few minutes restored his scattered
energies He thanked her warmly,
asked her name, and departed-to be
heard of no more till few days ago,
when solicitor called to inform Miss
Burch that the old gentleman had be-
queathed her the immense reward for
such service of ESQ, 900. That story
if it is true, which we see no reason
to doubts the most striking instance
we can remember of the true and per-
feet windfall which all men, it is said,
expect in their hearts, but which sc
rarely occurs to any one.
Stories of unexpected fortunes, OF
| course, are as common as blackberries.
Somebody is always making or finding
Or inheriting a heap of money which
seems to himself almost to have come

the clay from the sub-soil for the road;
this clay should be free from organic
matter, as far as possible, should be
| dry and compact, ground fine and
should be put on in thin layers and
rolled as hard us possible; in this re-
| spect our common road rollers are de-
fective in their operation; while they
level and compress the surface, they do
not allow the air and moisture to es-
cape; they fail to pack the dirt firmly
and to make the road solid and hard.
This can only he done with a roller,
constructed on the principle of the
tempering wheel used in the old time
brick yards, which roller should be
made with narrow steel tires with
spaces between A heavy roller con-
structed on this plan would render the
road hard and smooth. Notice how
the bottoms of ponds are made water
tight by the trampling of hogs and cat,
tie, and other animals having split
hoofs. This could not be done by the
feet of horses and mules, they having
solid hoofs compress the surface and
leave the clay undisturbed few inches
below, as does our common road roller
The road must be kneaded, ground anC
packed from the bottom upward in
layers so thin that the roller pene
trates to the bottom of each, expellinl
all the air and moisture. To keep the
surface of the road dry and hard, il
should have crown enough to make
the transverse grade greater than the
longitudinal grade which would run
the most of the water to the sid,
bitches. If the water be permitted I,
run down the road constantly increas
ing in volume and velocity, it viii
wash away the best of roads.
Where the road is very steep, trans
verse ridges would assist in turning

l roads in repair should be the duty o
competent men, who should devot
their whole time to it. Roads can onl,

DWARF FRUIT TREES.
When Properly Grated They Bear Fruit
In Three Years.

When Properly Grated They Bear Fruit
In Three Years.
AS rule those looking towards a
permanent orchard do not care to
plant dwarf trees whether pear or APP
Pile, because such trees, are less perma-
nent than standards. Some are led to
plant them by the taking name dwarf,
which leads them to think there
is less room required for them There
is in one way, but not in another.
Dwarfs are low branched and occupy
all the ground that their limbs over
spread, while the standard, being
trimmed up several feet, permits the
use of the soil under it. The chief
gain in dwarfs is in the getting of the
fruit early. In the case of the apple,
for instance, on standard tree there
is disappointment if fruit be looked for
under eight or ten years. On the other
hand dwarf, when grated on the
Paradise stock, will bear in two or
three years. This gives one chance
to get some fruit while waiting for
the standards to come in. This stock
dwarfs apples so much that they can
be planted four feet apart, which
would be found to be far enough apart
for them for many years. Borers are
exceedingly troublesome to dwarf
trees, and good looking after must be
given them twice year.-Practical

How to Mako Lasting Road from Com
mon Ordinary Clay.
The roadbed through wet and
swampy country, and where the surface
of the road Is below the land on each
side, will become vet from the mois-
ture which soaks up from the bottom,
the source of the water on each side
being higher than the road; such roads
in the spring, and other wet weather,
will become impassable. The only
way to drain such road is longi-
tudinally, with three-inch drain tiles,
running the whole length of the road
to be drained; one line of tile beneath
the middle of the road, and one be-
meath each side; it should be of the
porous cheap tile, such as that used in
some sections for sub-soil irrigation,
which will freely admit the water;
the larger the pores the better. This
will carry off all the water, and the air
passing through the tiles will keep the
bottom of the road dry. Then select

Benefit OF Good Roads.

One of the hest arguments for good
roads is contained in calculation re-
Gently published in Ore of the engin-
eering papers. 1t states that on the
worst earth roads, not muddy, but
sandy, horse can draw only twice as
much as he can carry on his back; o,
fair earth road, three and a half
time as much; on good macadamized
road nine times as much; on smooth
plank road, twenty-five times as much;
on stone trackway, thirty three
times as much, and on metal rails,
fifty-four times as much. The men
who use the country roads can there
fore make money by improving the
roads rather than 10y buying ne"
horses every year OF two.
