LIFE ON SMALL FARMS.
Some Inducements offered to Those Unfor-
tunates I'm Town.

Some Inducements offered to Those Unfor-
Inmates in Town.
The owner of ten to twenty acres of
land within convenient distance Of city
or town is very fortunate. The Phila-
delphia Ledger of a recent date says:
THE demand for small farms has been
greater than ever before. Properties
of from thirty to fifty acres and less
are wanted-the farmers holding them
say they can make more money ard
live better upon a few acres than upon
large farm"
This same state of affairs is noticed
in all the eastern states, and especially
is tins the case in our own state. The
low prices obtained for the leading
staple articles, such as corn and wheat,
and with probability of these prices
prevailing for some years yet to come,
accounts for this change in farm man
agement Poultry raising, early lambs,
trucking, bee keeping, small fruit cul-
ture, and dairying in all its branches
will be followed more closely-more
money being made and greater de-
gree of comfort being obtainable. A
larger population will be supported,
more systematic and careful cultiva-
ton of the soil, better roads, well man
aged public schools, churches, lectures,
and all social enjoyments will follow
in due course of time.

small place in the country, says: 81

FARM AND GARDEN.
REPAIRING A ROAD.
Task Which Is Almost as Important as
Its First Construction.


Task Which Is Almost as Important as
Its First Construction.
The chief work of the architect and
the engineer is to devise means to de-
prive water of its power to destroy.
Notwithstanding this plain fact
there are very few roads constructed
with reference to it. They are usually
constructed without underdrainage,
generally with fat surface, and often
with very imperfect bitches, The wa
ter lies on The surface, to soak the road
bed into the condition of sponge or a
mortar bed, to course along the road
way, scoring great cutters, and disin-
tegrating the read material. Often the
water from adjoining fields is allowed
To run into the road, so that the high
way becomes drainage ditch for the
farms. Anyone who will observe our
best roads, after a heavy rain, will see
loose stones, drifted piles of road metal,
cutters in the middle of the road and
all the effects of a miniature food,
that has rushed along the surface, as
If the road had been constructed for a
water course.
In this way we eXpend millions of
dollars in road making and seldom
have good road. The work of each
season disappears before the next sum
mer, and the annually recurring round
of repairs begins afresh. For this
prohigate waste there is no excuse. A
properly constructed roadbed is one of
The most durable works of man. There
Is nothing about it to decay, and if the
effect of water is provided against, it
remains for ages. The we'll defined
earthworks scattered over southern
Ohio, the work of prehistoric races, p"
are proof of the indestructible char
acter of earth entertainments and
mounds when properly located. Even
our savage predecessors had sense
enough to guard their earthworks
against the action of water. Old Roman
roads, constructed two thousand years
ago, are still travelled. The Romans
showed us how to construct good roads.
All experience joins with common
sense, in repeating to us that the only
essential condition of a good road

the purpose almost as well as ice. But
it soon becomes warm and unless it ia
replaced by fresh at frequent intervals
it will cease to be of benefit. If the
troughs are so placed that the water
can be run or pumped into them the
work of replacing the warm with cold
water will be light If the water must
be carried to the troughs in buckets
the labor will usually exceed the bene
fetal results. The trough shown in
the cut is intended to be used
between well containing force
pump and the large tank from
which the farm animals receive
their supply. The same result
is obtained if the trough is placed be-
low the level of an ordinary pump and
connected by piping In either case
the trough may be some distance from
the well and from the tank. The wa
ter sent through the pipe will enter
the trough near the bottom at A. II
will surround the cans and continue to
rise until the trough is nearly full,
when it will escape through the pipe
at b, whence 1t will proceed on its way
to the tank. II the well is supplied
with wind pump and the tank with
return pipe, there will be little diff
Guilty in keeping the water in the
trough cool. Most farmers allow the
wind pump to run the entire day in
summer in order that the stock may
have constant supply of cool, fresh
water. AS all of the water which
reaches the tank must pass through
the milk tro ugh the latter will be cons
stantly filled with the clear, cold liq'

house so constructed that it can ba

ondary Importance. If kept dry our
common clay makes an ideal road. 1t
is chosen for race courses because of
its excellent qualities. No one ever
heard of trying the extreme speed of
horses on macadam, asphalt or granite
pavement The less of these the bet
ter for our country roads, provided
they could be kept dry,
Above every other consid sration is
the road bed itself. Itshould be under
drained so that the water cannot az
cumulate or remain underneath. The
inequalities in the surface, depressions
and mud holes, are usually caused by
water softening the road bed. In the
spring the frost heaves and disin-
tegrates the road, because the earth
below has been soaked with water.
With thorough undertakings frost
would not disturb the road. There
should be sufficient crown to the road
to carry the water MT once to the
bitches. Better still, the tiles for UNI
derdrainage may be laid below the bot
tom of the bitches, with intakes at
proper distances, and a free discharge
at the first natural water course, In
this way our roads would be thorough
ly drained, and the water would run
off without washing the road sides.
The bitches might be made shallow, so
that there would be no upset" by
vehicles getting out of the road.
The custom of using gravel and stone
IF all sizes except the right size, de-
teats the purpose for which a covering
Is intended No gravel as large as a
hens egg should ever be put on road.
1t should be screened and, if the larger
stones are used, they should be crushed.
No stone should be used larger than
two inches in its largest measurement.
Large gravel stones will never pack
! They work to the surface, make the
road dangerous to horses, and help to
destroy the surface. The same rule
applies to broken stone.
Macadam's rule: IF you put stone
on the road that you can't put into
your mouth, won't pay YOU shil-
ling" is still sound.
The small stones form a compact
solid mass, If laid upon a well-made
foundation, they will wear as long as
the solid stone
1t is not at all necessary to use a
| great thickness of road metal. Thou
sands of miles of the best country
roads, lasting indefinitely, have been
made with hut three, four and five inches
Of macadam. But the foundation was
properly constructed smooth, comp act,
and well drained
Indeed, the road is the better for o
nShte: coating of road metal, because
1t will then retain some of the elias
ITCHY of the underlying clay, so desir.
able for horses and vehicles.
If proper attention were given to the
drainage and construction of roadbed,
much less metal would, be required,
and very little expense for repairs
would be required. Our roads would
be smooth, durable and elastic, The
work of each year would remain until
the country by yearly additions would
have abolished bad roads.-Col d. w.
