Where the Trouble Comes In.

Better roads are desired and advo-
Gated by every body. The farmer needs
them to go to and from his markets;
the man of leisure and means wants
them because they are pleasant to
drive over. The wheelmen want them
that their runs and exercise shall be
taken under the most favorable eondi-
tions- There Is no protest against
them from any quarter. Everyone who
uses a turnpike or the common dirt
roads of the state is willing-complete
ly and entirely willing somebody
else shall pay for the improvement.
Here is the place where the shoe be-
gins to pinch. The farmers are, per-
haps, more nearly concerned than any
other class in the community, bat
allege they already pay an undue pro-
portion of the taxes, and, therefore.
are unwilling to saddle themselves
with the expense of building better
roads for the benefit of others.-Farm

This day has become the most popular

class of swimmers is of the very incest.
Those who bring their own bathing
suits can use them if they are proper
ones; but if one has not suit it can
be had at the beach for fifteen cents.
Between the hours of five and seven
each evening the beach presents as an
mated picture as any seashOre resort.
At that time there are generally about
one hundred swimmers in the water all
the time, and the capers and fun that
they create attract a large crowd of
spectators every night.
If the Washington monument should
ever topple and fall towards the river,
il might hurt some of our bathers; for
it stands very near the beach, where
the shore is lined with a number of
benches for the spectators, besides a
space allotted to carriages, of which
there are always number. Hardly

have salt water baths. This bathing
| beach has been open TO the public
/ for several years, but it would seem
| that the youths and men and even ladies
| of Washington have Just this season
| begun to learn that there is an excel
lent opportunity offered to everyone on
these warm summer evenings to take
fine plunge in the Potomac on a beach
/ that is now as safe as it can be made,
with a lifeboat and guard continually on
hand, free bathing houses that are well
taken care of, and, in fact, everything
that one could find at a seaside resort.
The beach is fast becoming a popular
resort. and it is patronizcd each day by
about two hundred of the young and
old of the city. Since last season a
number of repairs have been made, and
with the increasing patronage the ac-
commodations are fast becoming too
small.
There is no muddy bottom at this
point in the river. 1t is as smooth and
fine a sandy bed as nature ever graded
and rolled. Cape May has loamy
strata just beneath the sand. Atlantic
City has dirty sand. Chesapeake beach
and Bay Ridge become mud puddles
within half an hour after crowd en-
tiers the water. The Potomac beach is
as solid and clean floor as nature ever
gave to any river.
The bath houses are more cOmmodi-
Gus and comfortable than the coops and
cubby holes at seaside resorts, where
man has no room, even for idea, but
must do all of his thinking before get
ting inside. On the Potomac beach
each boat house will hold four persons
without the necessity of any of them
going outside when they wish to put
on their hats: but should the width of
the brim of the straw hats this summer
increase. it may be necessary to allow
but one person at time 10 occupy
bath house. OF these there are fifty
for white men; and on the opposite
side of the beach, about seventy-fve
wards away, are the houses of the col
ored. Separated from the houses for
the white men are half dozen nicely
furnished houses for ladies, and each
dav they are occupied. Most of the
ladies who have bathed at the beach
thus far have been married ladies'; but
a few little girls. accompanied by their
parents. have been in this season.

JOY. The rules Of the beach regarding
decorous action and care that trifling
should not be INDUCED in to endanger
anyone's life are very stringent, and
the wisdom of this is proved by the
fact that there have been no accidents
thus far during the season. The beach

Bees That Make Rad Honey.

Lovers of the product of the busy
bee will find it a wise precaution to
have their honey tested as to it's purity
before they eat it, or use it in a cult
nary way" Prof. Remington gave a
warning something like this at a re-
cent meeting of pharmacists, and at
the same time told of German who
was extensively engaged in bee cul-
ture, and who had his apiary close to a
sugar refinery. A lot of rank molasses
was accessible to the bees, and they
gorged themselves on it. The result
was their honey was equally rank, and
unfit for use. On another occasion the
bees fed on blooming dIgitalis, and
their honey proved to be poisonous
Natural honey, therefore, is liable to
vary very much, and occasionally.
when it looks best and is sweetest, il
may be loaded with poison. Unscrupu-
lous bee-farmers are accustomed to
forcing their bees TO increase their out
put by feeding them sweetened water.
The honey, of course, is scarcely fit for
use.-Philadelphia Record.

NOTES FOR oAIRYMEN.

NEVER keep cream in a damp cellar.
If you do it will rot.
If the butter is bitter, it is likely the
cows are eating weeds.
If there is rag-weed in the pastur es,
look out for bitter butter.
Rory cream is the result of an i'm
perfect physical condition of the cows
IT is claimed that skim milk for feed
ing calves is worth 20 cents per 100
pounds.
As A rule ID is better to sell butter as
fast as it is made. Make good article
and let her go.
If butter is kept in jars, the jars
should be glazed, as unglazed jars are
porous and admit air.
SWEET cream should be churned at a
lower temperature than sour cream.
About so degrees is proPer.-Farmers'

PREPARING FOR WINTER.
Food Is the Real Source of the Flavor Of
Dairy Products.

ROOD Is the Real Source OF the FLAVOR OF
Dairy Products.
The dairyman who wants good but
ter next winter should not miss to
grow bountiful crop of carrots and
parsnips. says the New York Times
The excellence of the Jersey cows is
unquestionably due TO the parsnips
which are fed to them, and for which
the soil and climate of the Channel
islands are so well adapted. These
roots are wholly free from any objec-
tionable quality, and confer a sweet
ness and aromatic flavor on the butter
which are gained by no other food.
tits as reasonable to believe that
the food is the source of the flavor OF
the butter as it is that of the flavor of
the flesh of an animal. And this, not
withstanding the avowed belief of a
number of scientific persons-or per
sons who claim to be scientific-to the
contrary. 1t is alleged by these per-
sons that it is the individuality of the
COW that gives the flavor to the butter.
Common people know better, and
no amount of scientific allegation
will make them believe that when
COW eats garlic in the pas
ture or cabbages or turnips in the
stable, it is the individuality of the an
imal and not the strongly-havoredf food
that contributes the special taste and
color to the milk and butter. And so
it is the food to which the Jersey cow
has been used for hundreds of years.
and by which the milk and butter
have been gradually increased until
the large product from the food and
the ability to consume large quantity
of the richest food have been fixed on
the race and have become an essential
characteristic of it. 1t is true that the
Jersey COW possesses an individuality
of her own, but this is a consequence
and not an intrinsic natural ability; il
is not an active, but passive, charac-
teristic, and nothing more nor less
than a result of long training and edu-
cation, fixed by breeding. Any other
COW has the same possibility if the
same means are taken to form it and
perpetuate the distinct character. And
every dairyman should so manage his
herd as to develop and fix this inn
proved condition.

Salt. of Copper Net Injurious.

The scare as to poisoned food which
crops up fitfully has of late taken for
its object the employment of salts Of
copper for the culture of potatoes and
vines, and it has been insinuated that
grapes and tubers grown in this way
were by no means harmless. AS gem
orally happens, in such cases, as soon
as the subject has been thoroughly in
vestigated its absurdity becomes ap-
parent. VI. Alme Givard has made q
series of chemical analyses, and finds
that there is not the slightest ground
for the suppositiOn that salts of copper
could impart to the fruit or vegetable
any poisonous qualities. The trace of
copper obtained from the ashes of the
incinerated grapes and>potatoes is TOO
small to be of any Importance.

TOO MUCH PRUNING.

How Thousands of Fruit Trees Are Ru-
Ined Every Year.
The very best judgment must be
used in pruning trees. There is too
much pruning, and yet pruning is often
necessary. The injuries to fruit trees
and the losses to fruit growers from
vicious and altogether unnecessary
pruning cannot be estimated. The
popular idea that trees must be pruned
in order that they should exist, and es-
pecially if fruit bearing trees, so that
they should bear fruit, is one of the
most persistent of all prejudices He
is looked upon as careless fruit grow
er who neglects to visit his orchard at
least once during the year, armed with
knife and chisel, saw and ak, and to
strew the ground with twigs and
branches is deemed evidence of skillful
treatment by those who, like the OPP
govern vegetable growth. Some years
ago there was on the grounds of an ex-
detrimental station a pear orchard
which was planted and maintained for
the especial purpose of illustrating the
best methods of management for the
production Of fruit. They were all
standard trees, and AT the time of
planting were deprived of nearly al
the growths of the previous year; they
looked very much like walking canes
After the summer growth was ma
tured some of the shoots were cut back
in order to establish a proper DISPOSE
ton of branches. From that time they
were untouched by the pruning knife.
They commenced to bear the fourth
year after planting and continued to
yield heavy crops of fine fruit until it
became necessary to remove them

Conditions In which They Can Always Be
Used to Advantage.
A prominent manufacturing concern
has instituted series of experiments
lately to find out the conditions under
which the broad and narrow-tired
wheels could be used to advantage. In
the experiment to ascertain the differ
ence in draft between wide and mar
row tire upon grass sod, the figures
arrived at were:
Weight Of wagon and load .459O pounds

Another expe riment was with four
inch and Observation-Disclosures tires
respectively on block pavement, good,
hard, sandy road, good, level, gravel
road, and in each soft and deep mud.
The conclusions arrived at by the
committee were:
1. On hard roads, block pavements
and other permanent and substantial
roads, there is no argument, so far as
actual draft is concerned, in favor OF
the wide tired, the effect being rather
against the wide tire.
?. In their effect upon hard roads.
the wide tire have the advantage, and
that this benefit is not sufficiently APP
preciated by turnpike and macadam
road companies
3. In soft mud. slush, and under sim
liar circumstances, under which even
the wide tire cuts in. the advantage is
against the wide tire and in favor of
the narrow.
4. On soft sod and soft ground,
where the wide tire does not cut in,
and the narrow does, the advantage is
on the side of the wide tire.
5. In loading a team, draft of $50
pounds steadily applied is as much as
should be expected for days work,
and that on soft sod this may mean,
when a dead pull has to be taken, an
increase in the draft of 1000 pounds.
6. The difference in the latter case
between the regular draft of $50 pounds
and the increase of 1000 pounds is
equivalent to an addition of 1850
pounds to the load.
Z. Or, in other words, the draft of
the load being $50 pounds maybe con-
sidered as equivalent to a load of 1850
pounds, and the difference from the
steady draft of the load in fair mo-
ton, and that of the same load started
at dead pull, is equivalent to doub-
ling the load.
The committee closed their report
with: 1--WE advocate wide tire for
farms, and narrow tire for good roads
and pavements."
Experiments at the Utah experiment
station demonstrated that a given
load on 11S-inch tire drew 41.6per cent.
heavier than when on a 3-inch tire,
the draft being on a fairly stiff grass
sod; on a moist but hard road the IL
inch tire drew 1877 per cent. heavier
tn an the 3-inch.

Concerning the First Calf.

When heifer is as good as three
years old, before her first calf is
dropped, and the sire is a well-bred
and fully-matured animal, the calf is
not to be despised, but in the case of a
two-year-old heifer the situation is al
together altered, and only under ex-
ceptional circumstances should her first
calf be reared. Such an animal, as a
rule, lacks size and constitution, and
in nine cases out of every ten is sadly
deficient in flesh and hair. Its desti-
nation should, therefore, be the sham

mother pays her way better than is
