ROAD MAcn,Nes.
They Have Been Used with Good E6oo
In NcSN YorE 2fafa.

In New York State.
In order to intelligently understand
present needs II is necessary to under
stand present methods and present ap.
plianccs for road making and repairing
as we find them in the rural districts.
In what have to suggest on this sub.
ject my Judgment will be based on
what know of the situation in Della
ware county, N. ", but the same state
of affairs will be found, think, in
many of the counties of this state.
Nine out of ten miles of all the coun-
try roads are, and will be at least for
many years, dirt or soil roads. Tho
mode of making and repairing these
soil roads has greatly changed within
q few years. The introduction of road
machines has almost entirely revolu-
tionized the method of road making.
The old dump scraper has gone TO take
its place with the discarded tools Of a
bygons age, and has given place to new
wheel machines, wherewith two men
and two teams will construct more and
better road in a given time than could
be done by 90 men and 10 teams with
the old tools and methods.
In this county during the past year,
according to the report of the board of
supervisors, no less than 40 of these
road machines have been purchased for
the use of the road districts in the sew.
eral towns at an expense of about SITE
each. Yet there are now road districts
that do not own an interest in or have
the use of an improved road worker.
The use of the machine has had another
good effect, new interest and new
degree of pride and emulation has been
awakened on the part of the people
and the desirability of good roads has
been emphasized as never before.
1t is during the spring or rainy
weather that these dirt roads become
bad, and this is largely from being cut
up and rutted by hauling heavy loads
on narrow-tired wagons. What will
afford the most relief and be of tht
greatest benefit will be the enactment
of law compelling the transportatio,
of all loads on wide-tired wagons, tn,
weight of the load to be governed b,
the width of the tire.-N. Nj. Blish, il

PACKING APPLES.
The Practice of Facing Condemned for
Several Reasons.

The Practice of Facing Condemned for
Several Reasons.
One of the last operations of the
autumn was packing winter apples for
Shipment, and find among my notes
some items in connection Herewith. I
have packed apples more or less all my
life, and 1 believe that packers are
often more sinned against than sinners,
and it all comes through the practice
Of facing. Half-bushel baskets are
commonly used in packing, and bas-
ketful is sorted from the heap, and the
best are used to face the bottom. If
the bottom is double-faced, then
another basketful is taken and the
best of these are used; then the re-
maipder of the two baskets are dumped
into the barrel and the filling is COM
pleted with apples considered mer-
chantahle After the very best have
been ortAd out of a bushel for the two
head courses, the remainder as COM
pared with them are seconds, yet when
mixed they are an average lot. The
barrel reaches the consumer, and the
family commences to use them. The
top layers are used of, and the seconds
are reached, and being SO much inferior
to the extras first consumed the chill
dren go deeper, and in few days all
the extra apples in the upper half are
consumed, and SO it goes until only the
very poorest are left, and the pac ker is
accused of putting lot of inferior ap-
pies in the center of the barrel, when
he did no such thing, the seeming cheat
being the combined result of sorting to
face and sorting to use.-L. B. Pierce,

NOTES FOR DAIRYMEN.

SUPPLY fresh pasture for milk cows
before they begin to fall off in milk.
PAYING for milk by the butter fat
test puts premium ON good cows and
careful breeding.
DAIRY cows must be well fed. They
work hard IN manufacturing milk and
cannot give the best results If they must
work all day to get grass enough.
IT is reported that the "black pepsin"
swindlers still 6nd unposted parties
and relieve them Of their money. They
belong to the class who do not attend
farmers institutes and who do not be-
lieve in "book farming anyway.
CHEEsEMAKERs cannot make good
cheese from tainted and poorly-kept
milk. If you furnish them such milk.
do not expect high price for your
cheese. 1t is shame and q great
waste to handle good milk in such q
way.
ScALDINa the utensils and giving
them sun baths are very important
matters in the dairy. The little bac-
terra germs which cause decomposition
N milk and other substances propagate
very rapidly in warm weather, and the
seams and corners of cans must be kept
absolutely clean or they will taint the
mill.-Orange Judd Farmer

Trees Are Greedy Eaters.

An orchard tree eats just as does a
corn plant or stool of wheat. A Wig
orous orchard tree is a greedy eater. If
the ground is not manured the supply
of plant food is in time so much ex-
hausted that the tree cannot get mate
rial for vigorous growth or for akun.
dant fruitage. If the orchard is
cropped with grain or grass, the process
of exhaustion is, of course, quite rapid
The trees vitality is brought to a low
point, for it is half starved or more,
hence it falls an easy prey to insects
and fungi. The owner wonders why
his orchard does no good, why the trees
winter kill, why they do not bear, why
they persist in dying out. If he would
give n liberal dressing of good fertil-
izer, and spade it in about the roots OF
the trees, he would find that he had
discovered u most potent remedy.-Ru.

Of drawing, A skillful budder will
lift the edges of the bark of the per-
pendicular cut with the knife as he
makes the cross cut, and insert the bud
at once. Some persons use the thumb
nail for this purpose and others quill,
shaped like blunt toothpick. If the
point of the bud is once entered and
the bark is in the right condition, it can
easily be pushed down to the position
shown in the center of the illustration.
The buddcd stock must now be tied as
shown OH the right, with Eastwood
string or candle wick, tight enough to
hold the bud firmly to the stock. AS
soon as the bud takes, which will be in
ten or fourteen days, the bandage
should be removed. The bud lies dor
mant until spring, when the stock
should be cut back to within two inches
of the bud, and when the shoot from
the bud is few inches high this stump
may be cut down close to the shoot.
The operation is quite easy and simple.
