TESTING THE COWS.
A Simple Method of Determining tho Per-
fOrmance of Each.

A Simple Method of Determining tho Per-
formance of Each.
Test your cows is the advice con-
tinualIy given by dairymen and agri-
cultural papers, and, like most advice,
is needed least by those who need it
most. Many farmers, while admitting
it's wisdom, excuse themselves from
following it on the plea that they have
no testing apparatus, and therefore no
means of knowing the respective per-
formances of the cows.
To such l would say that no scien-
t.fic apparatus is necessary. The churn
is after all the most satisfactory kind
of tester. All that is necessary is to
keep one cows milk separate for a
couple of days, all the cream being
carefully removed. When the cream
has ripened it should be churned, and
the scales will give the product, both
of milk and butter. After each cow in
the herd has thus been tested, a COM
parison of results will tell which are
the most profitable cows and which do
not pay for their keep. A little of this
kind of testing would cause many a
farmer to change his opinion of the
merits OF the respective members OF
his herd, and enable him to weed out
worthless stock. Try it. The test is a
simple one; it is easily applied, and the
results cannot be disputed. Try it.
and you will never regret the bother
you have had in finding out the leak in
your profits.-C. ID. Bell, in N. Y. World

FARM AND GARDEN.
MAKING GOOD ROADS.

some Valuable and s~nsible ceneiusicss
Reached BY Prof. King.
One authority on the subject Of road
draining claims that in prairie soil q
good road can be obtained for eleven
months in the year by simply putting
in good system of tile drainage,
slightly rounding the road bed
and sowing grass seed so that the
roots may aid the drainage. II the
road surface Is to perform the service
of roof 1t must be protected from the
action of narrow wagon wheels A
sharp turn is always in better condi-
ton than the straight portions of the
road. a little thought shows at once
that this is due to the fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
ruts. A slight difference in the length
of the front and rear axles of wagons
with the use of wide tires would ac-
complish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing. It is hard to change a GUS
tom, and probably nothing but legis-
lative action can introduce a change.
This change need not prove hardship
to anyone, and the arguments against
such action are comparatively unim-
portant
Prof. King has reached the following
conclusions: by careful study of local
conditions determine the cost of bad
roads. Pay this cost ms interest on cap
ital borrowed for making the needed
improvement. Substitute the cash sys-
TEN of paying road tax for the labor
system. Thoroughly drain all roads
and keep the drains always open. Do
away with narrow tires and axles of
the same length. Macadamize wher-
ever the traffic will warrant after full
filling the above conditions. Keep the
road as clean as you would the roof OF
a house. thus affording no chance for
water to collect and destroy the sur
