Regulates for Cows.
From Jersey Bulletin.]

For fifteen years have fed and MIXED
my own cows, and in that time have
tried all kinds of feed and nearly every
kind of COW. Regularity as to time and
quantity of feed has nearly as much to
do with the quantity of milk as does the
quality of feed. try to feed my cows
at the same time each morning and even
ing, and make the cows appetite the
gauge Of the amount, always giving as
near as possible just what she will eat
up clean. use as far as possible a
mixed ration, composed OF hay, grain
and cOtton-seed meal, in the proportion
of three parts of grain to one of cotton
seed meal, with all the hay she will eat
up clean. The best ration l ever used
was composed Of one part peas, two of
corn and four of oats, well mixed and
ground together. OF this give from
eight to twelve quarts per day, accord
ing to the size of the cow, the hay Of
course included. give In addition to
the above, about three times week,
wheatbran, all they will eat, besides the
parings Of potatoes, turnips, etc., from
the kitchen. But I would never allow q
COW to drink slop from the kitchen. To
makes good pure milk the cow must
have pure water. Kindness and good
shelter are also prime necessities in the
management of COW. The finest Jersey
would prove failure il curried with the
milkingstool and sheltered with barbed-
wire fence, no matter what kind or how
much feed she had.

Repairing Country Roads.
[From Harper's weekly

The proper time to begin work or re-
pairs is in the early spring, just after
the frost comes out of the ground, as
soon as the roads have settled and dried
out. Where the road is old, with good
solid bed, the first thing to be done is to
cover it all over with light dressing of
gravelly material, and when possible
finish it off with top coating Of hard
pan; but avoid putting it on too thickly
lest the going become heavy, as 1t Is
slow to dry out. Loan Is worse than
useless as it never packs properly, and
makes mud. Care must be taken to
raise the road up towards the centre,
and give it slight elevation at the
water from each side into the cutters.
On level, straight road the crown
should only be slightly convex, for
rounding up narrow road in the center
is Objectionable, insomuch as it has the
immediate effect of forcing wheels of
vehicles to run always in the same line
and wear away the new material into
deep ruts that quickly become water
courses for the wash of the next rain,
and assist the rapid destruction of the
road by preventing the water from
reaching the cutters. As fast as the
new material can be laid on, it should
be very carefully raked over to remove
all the large stones and as many of the
smaller ones as possible; for where this
precaution is neglected until the stuff
packs down hard, which happens in
few days the stones become 80 firmly en-
bedded that they are not only difficult to
remove, but soon cause the road to wear
in humps and bumps, and later in the
season, during the dry weather, they
work up continually and become source
of annoyance and danger. These stones
should never be left in piles along the
roadside to be driven into or scattered
about by mis- chievous boys or stray cat
tie, but carted Immediately away and
dumped out of sight. The cutters
should then be carefully cleaned by re-
moving from them all deposits of mud.
decayed leaves, or branches which have
collected there during the winter months
never allow this stuff to be heedlessly
thrown along the edges of the cutters or
on the banks above them, for the first
rains will surely wash all back to its
old place, and the work has to be done
over again. 1t is even worse to spread
it out on the road, according to the COM
mon but mistaken practice of many road
masters, since decayed material can
never pack properly and always tends to
make mud in wet weather and dust in
dry weather.

No Wheels Ia Tangier.
From scribner's.I

Among the strangest pr culiarities of
Tangier, and one that at once forces it.
self upon the a. tention of The new conner,
is the total absence of any kind of
wheeled vehicle. In the entire CITY
(Which is an example of all the others in
the empire) there is not even a donkey
cart. for the streets are much too mar
row to admit of their use, and transport
tation Of passengers and merchandise is
effected upon the backs of donkeys,
horses, mules, and camels-according to
the weight and the distance. There are
but few streets into which loaded camel
could enter, and not more than three in
which he could pass another loaded camel
or horse. Some of the smaller streets
are 80 narrow, that even the panniers Of
a donkey would scrape upon either side,
so that in the city itself the transporta-
tion devolves upon donkeys. for the side
streets, and upon horses and mules for
the main lhoroughfares.

Geld the Col 8.
From American Horse Breeder


Scarcely day passes that we are not
in re ceipt of letters asking advice about
keeping certain colts entire. These colts
in most cases are well bred and are
doubtless good individuals. If so they
will be valuable as geldings. If they
will not make desirable geldings they
certainly ought not to be kept for stock
purposes. The fact is there are ten times
as many well-bred trotting stations in
this country to-day as are needed. Look
at the reports of auction sales and see
what well-bred young stations are
bringing under the hammer. The large
breeding establishments will supply the
future demand. Stations must now be
developed before they will bring much
money or secure much patron ge. Village
Farm is one of the foremost trotting
breeding establishments in this country.
Probably no other establishment of its
age can parade such list Of trotters
bred, raised and developed upon it. We
find by examining the beautiful cata-
logue Of Village Farm for 1898 that it
contains the names of 331 animals. or
this number 90 are stations and colts,
100 mares and FLIES and 80 geldings.
Neatly 30 per cent of the whole lot are
entire. Doubtless other establishments
have nearly as large proportion of grand
~ bred and first-class individual stations.
This Is ct Of itself should convince every
small breeder that 1t Is for his own pri-
vate interest to call in good veterinai y
surgeon and have geldings made OF every
oae Of their trottiDg- bred colts.

Peas and Beans.

Although peas were known and used
as food many centuries before the birth
of Christ it is singular that green peas
came into use in western Europe only
200 years ago. Nine. de Maintenon
wrote in 1896: GAN the talk now is
about the new dish-green peas. The
impotence for them, the pleasure Of
eating them, the triumph of finding them
so enjoyable, and the joy of anticipating
repetition of the treat are animating
points of conversation at our court. And
many ladies after going home from a
royal feast must have dish ready to eat
at home before lying down."
Beans were In use 1000 years before
Christ. but in the Egyptian temples they
we're under ban. Priests must not eat
them nor look at the growing plants.
They were served at funeral feasts only
on the dishes placed before the seats of
the lately deceased. Thus q prejudice
was created which prevented much use
of one of the cheapest and best items of
food even in Europe until q late de- y.
We have gained nearly as much by the
shaking off of such old letters as by new
discoveries.

Irrigation in Incubation.
From N. Y. Tribune

The old and oft repeated theory that
in natural incubation eggs need more
moisture than that furnished by the hen g
body is easily disproved by experience.
An ipcubating hen does not need to wan
der through grass wet with dew or to be
out occasionally in the rain in order to
have a good hatch. A belated chick will
sometimes dry fast to the shell and needs
a dip in warm water to free it. but that
is only because it is weak and belated.
By way of experiment, last spring set
seven hens on 81 eggs. They were set
in room having board floor and open
ing into an inclosed shed in which they
were fed and watered and had q dust
bath. They were not outdoors during
the whole hatch. They brought out 70
fine chicks. OF the remaining Is eggs
six tested were infertile. The rest would
have Matched, only they we're set under a
foolish hen of uncertain mind, who made
a botch of the business. The supply of
the proper amount of moisture in artifi-
cial incubation and at the right stage of
the hatch is very puzzling question.
There are 30 many modifying circum-
stances to be considered. The tendency
at present is toward less moisture than
formerly and to be applied the last few
days Of the hatch.
II the incubator is in a cellar less
moisture will be needed than if above
ground. In some sections of the country
less moisture is required than in others.
Different degrees of moisture in the at
mosphere at time of Matching must also
be considered. Some styles Of incubators
require more and some less moisture.
The person who runs the incubator will
need to study and experiment for him.
self. IF too much moisture is given, the
chicks will grow too rapidly and become
bound in the she'll. II too little, the in
ner membrane will become tough and
dry. In either case many chicks will die
in the shell during the last three days Of
incubation. 1t is very discouraging
experience to find after hatch that per
haps 80 per cent of the eggs have dead
chicks fully matured. If this experience
is repeated time and again it becomes ex-
aspeI ating. Spraying the eggs is gen.
orally condemned, yet my last two
matches sprayed lightly twice day the
last three days and had over 80 per cent
matches. The spraying was done imme-
diately after turning, water at l03 de-
grees. Mine is hot-air machine. I
reasoned that light spraying would
keep the inner membrane of the eggs in
the right condition, so the chicks could
easily peck their way out into this greedy
world,

Roup.
From Farm and Fireside.l

The roup is the disease that causes so
many drawbacks In the poultry yard in
the winter. A flock will have the roup
and show no symptoms other than to
droop, or refuse to eat. 1t is name
given to many diseases due to colds.
Choking, with gasping for breath, dis
charge from the nostrils, a seeming effort
to get rid of some obstruction in the
throat, swelled eyes, blindness, and
sometimes yellowish substance cover
ing the throat, are all symptoms of roup,
as the disease attacks the fowl in many
different ways. 1t is sometimes useless
to attempt a cure, as efforts in that d.
rection may extend over weeks of time,
and the care and labor bestowed is
more than the value of the fowl. As all
medicines must be given In the food, or
in the water, the sick fowls may not par
take of the remedies, and when giving
remedies by handling flock Of sick
fowls the work is very laborious and
disagreeable. We know of no remedy
that is sure cure for roup. Keeping
the birds warm, and adding table
spoonful of chlorate of potash to each
quart of drinking-water, for few days,
Is beneficial, but total destruction of the
flock at oLce is better.

Science as Factor in Agricultu re.
From Popular Science Monthly.j

You all know the importance Of n.y.
giene in society for securing the health Of
men and then OF animals, and even of
plants. Its function, long misconceived,
is conspicuous now in all eyes; nd it is
one of The triumphs of science that it has
been able to prolong the duration of hui
man life, to secure immunity of our do
nestle animals against epidemics, and to
extend it's protection against the
disc ases which are destroying our field
products and are threatening the annihil-
alton Of agricultural crops. But the
preservation of the products is not all.
We need also to learn how to multiply
productive beings; and in this field, too,
science has, by the application of
methods of sele ction, realized most mar
velous progress in agriculture. Not only
has intensive cultivation taught us how
to draw larger return than formerly
from particular soil and given sur
face, but by the selection of seeds, we
have doubled and tripled the formation
of sugar in beet roots by like selections,
the production of the potato has been
augmented; and we are seeking, with
c. rlainIy or success, yet more consider
able increase in the production of wheat.
No lesa progress ia reached in the pro-
duction of fruits and vegetables, and OF
cxt,l-, to the daily amelioratiOn of the
general condition of the human race.
This advance has been promoted, partly
by close acquaintance with the general
laws of living Nature, as revealed by
disintert sted science-laws which are the
essential foundation Of every appl ca
1ion; and equally, and in way no less
worthy of admiration, by the efforts of
inventors, those meni Of practical in
senuity who labor at the same time for
he increase Of their own fortunes and
1sr the good and profit Of mankind.
