RELIABLE TESTIMONY.

Wide Tires Improve Public Roads and
Save the Horses.
A correspondent for the Breeders
Gazette giycs his observation and eX
perience in regard to wide tires as
follows:
wish to give my observation and
experience. have a lot of teams to
look after, and we have on the farm
but two nalrow-tired wagons. In the
spring of 1891, when hauling manure,
the wagon with three-inch tires and
the one with one and one-half inch
Doth went to the field together, the
loads being equal. When in the field
the broad-tired drove in and unloaded;
the narrow stuck. Four horses We're
put to it to get it to Il place to unload
The condition of the field was the same;
broad tires on top of the ground, mar
row tires in ground about eight inches.
In addition to Winwood farm, Mr..
Sunrnan also owns the largest sawmill
plant in southeastern Indiana. and now
his foreman there uses wide tires on
all wagons, none being less than four
and one-half inches. The common dirt
roads (clay) have no stone on them in
this'country. and roads that are used by
common farmers are cut to picces--all
rut and muL-while the roads used by
the log wagons are solid and fit to
drive over at all times. "a
In the spring OF 1892, we had Il couple
of mule teams to help plow wet piece
of ground. | was in the field when they
struck it; the mules-which weighed
near to nine hundred and fifty pounds
eacll-,nired to their knees and We're
unhitched to get them out. Then ]
ordered one of our heavy draft teams
70 wy to plow whore mules could not,
and they completed the job in a good
manner They weighed ] 200 and 1,s+O
each. From my observation and actual
experience, having under my charge
more horses and wagons than three or
four farmers in this section of Indiana,
am led to believe that the wide tire is
the road maker and the narrow tire the
road breaker and horse killer. Where
cannot go with 4 wagon with tires
-four and one-half inches wide and a
team of Clydes weighing from 1,50O to
1,S00 pounds each, no man with narrow
tires dare go with the same load, no
difference what his team may be- u
Give us wide tires and compel farm
ers to use them and we will have better
roads than we ever had and save opr
horses also.

FOOD FOR THE DAIRY.
why Farmers Cannot Afford to Feed Ha.
to Cows.

Why Farmers Cannot Aford to Feed Hay
ef to Cows.
4 Most of the hay substitutes are sub
stitutes in furnishing the required
bulk rather than in furnishing an
equivalent in nutrition. and the prac-
tical question is how to use them in
order to obtain increased dairy prod
ucts. The best feed is the one which
accomplishes most economically the OBJ
ject in view, and the best use of a feed
for dairy purposes is that which meets
the need of the animal. Coarse fodder.
hay and hay substitutes are deficient in
the nutriments best calculated to pro-
duce u large milk flow. TO insure this,
these folders must be combined with
feeds richer in protein and fat to make
well-balanced ration There is such
an abundance of cornstallSs and stover
produced on most of our farms that
there is no necessity for our giving
much attention to the less valuable
coarse products till these are better
utilized.
OF the crops ordinarily grown, the
corn plant will doubtless furnish the
larger part of the hay substitutes. 1t
would be of advantage IL our farmers
got more into the way of growing 9TH
er crops for winter feeding. The
legumes (clovcr, peas etc.) deserve to
take a more important place in dairy
foods. Not one of sixteen rations ex-
amined contained clover hay or hay or
ensilage of the legumes Some of the
reasons why some of the legumes are
especially valuable may be concisely
stated as follows:
Their large percentages of protein
compounds which serve to form blood,
muscle, bone and millk-and their con-
sequent feeding value, which exceeds
that of the grasses, corn fodder, corn
stover, or straws. They may be used
to supplement these folders in place OF
| the concentrated heterogeneous feeds,
such as bran. cottonseed,s linseed and
gluten meals. etc. Hay, from the 10.
| gumes is twice or more than twice as
rich in protein as that from grasses.
| Their power of gathering large guam.
titles of plant food from natural
mon legumes acquire considerable
quantities of nitrogen from the air
Their roots penetrate deeply into the
subsoil, and they thus obtain plant
food from depths beyond the reach o.
plants with smaller root development
Their manurial value. When the
crop is fed. most of the nitrogen, phos
phoric acid, potash and other fertiliz
ing ingredients go into excrement

"MOTHERING SUNDAY"
A Delightful Little Custom of the Year
That Are Gone.

A Delightful Little Custom of the Years
That Are Gone.
"Mothering Sunday is the fourth
Sunday in Lent, and is often called
id-Lent Sunday" The custom which
gave rise to the name, like many an
other delightful old custom, has passed
away, and so the name has become al
most forgotten also.
suppose you have all read stories of
apprentices, young lads who were
'bound OUT as they called it, to learn
trade, or to work for some farmer for
term of years.
How would you like it, my boy just
home from spin on your new ''safe-
ty"-to be tied down to work day
after day, under n master who was not
always easy to please, and who would
allow you only Sundays an occasional
day Off to go to see your mother.
And you, my dear girl, with your
happy home and days brimful of enjoy
ment, what would you think of life
exactly opposite to yours?
For, in the days of long ago, as well
as in our own time, there were many
young girls who found it best to leave
their homes and make their own way
in the world. s
Would you not be glad of an occa-
sional Sunday when you could array
yourself in all your best finery and go
to see your mother taking care that
You wrapped your little present up
very carefully, so that you could watch
her evident pleasure and surprise as
sI ia1 1a ~, ,ff "a
wrapper and brought to light the
treasure which you had bought for her
with your very own earnings?"
That was "NIothering Sunday" the
fourth Sunday in Lent, when absent
sons and daughters-particularly the
Young apprentices would return to
their homes with some little present
for both parents, but more especially
for the mother An ancient custom,
and delightful one, it seems to me.
Imagine the joy of Peggy or Thomas
the pride of the mother in the simple
gift, and the admiration of the small
brothers and sisters. who gathered
around ard longed for the time when
they also would be outin the great un-
known world and could come "a-moth-
ering."
Perhaps it was not an apprentice or
serving-maid, but some young house
keeper who would come from her own
home, and with most important air
would present her mother with. some
pasties or u ''simnel' of her own maxi
ing. The simnel, on sinnel, was n kind
of rich sweet cake offered as q gift at
Christmas or Easter and especially on
"Mothering Sunday"
We may be sure that it was happy
time, and that the mother admired the
gift and praised the giver, and rejoiced
that her Thomas was such u fine,
steady lad, or that Peggy was SO strong
aud rosy and loving.
