HINTS FOR DArRYMEN.

THE purpose of cutting the curd, in
is to facilitate the es-
cape of the whey.
BEFORE adding the rennet in cheese
making, stir in the colOFing matter,
first diluting it with water.
We would say to an inquirer that an
outfit for cheese-making for say %
cows will cost from $50 to $50.
TIE COW needs more care than any
other animal or the farm, and she
must have it or she will fail to pay a
profit.
EXPERIENCE has shown that when
milking tubes are used the yield of
milk is less than when the milking is
done by hand.
IT has been noticed that when one
teat is MIXED at time the milk from
the second teat is the richest; that
from the first teat the next; that from
the third the next and milk from the
last is poorest. Farmers Voice.

Keep the Salt Where the Animals Can
Help Themselves Freely.

fortnight and you strike their appe-
tites for 1t, hit or miss. But keep it
where the creatures can lick it every
time they desire, and You are giving an
opportunity for nature TO gauge the
Iy than is possible i'm any other way.
Cows cannot keep healthy and thrive,
without salt, and il is q positive cru
city to them to deprive them of a full
supply, and the only sure way of as
pertaining whether or not they have a
full supply is by keeping a supply
where thew can help themselves Fa-
cilities for a constant and free access
to salt should be found i'm every stable.
One Of the first essentials In preparing
food of any kind for any kind
of stock is to- have it whole
some; and another important essen
tial is to have it palatab BILE In
choosing salt to use in the dairy care
must be taken to have only that of the
best quality. While rock salt is prob
ably the hest and cheapest that can be
used for the stock to eat, only the fin
est and purest should be used in the
making of the butter and cheese where
it must be incorporated with or into
them. Salt deposits in a crude state
are more or less impregnated with min
eral impurities that in many cases are
highly detrimental to the saline-keep-
ing qualities.
The difference in the cost is so small
that in all cases it will prove economy
to use nothing but the best, and then
to take all reasonab BILE care to keep
clean and pure. Keep salt where the
cows can help themselves daily in or
der to maintain the best health, and
use only the purest and best salt in the
dairy in order to maintain the best
quality of product. tn. j. Shepherd, in

~The only unhappy thought good road like
this can awaken is that there are thousands
of others unlike it. I"
will fix the highway in the wrong
place for several generations, and may
be forever:
So, too, in one of the most beautiful
and prosperous counties in New Jersey
a large sum raised from the sale of
(, bonds for road improvement is being
i. wasted at this moment Without a
!, man in the county board with any
knowledge of road building, it is not
wonderful that an engineer was Sc
lected without any experience. Taking
good advice to begin with, this ig-
inorant local board and ignorant local
engineer have abandoned every wise
counsel and now propose to pave over
hills so steep that a horse can only
climb them laboriously in a walk, and
to use in the construction a native
bastard stone SO coarse in grain that it
sdiSintegrates when in contact with the
weather. This money will be thrown
away, and in that section of New Jer-
-sey the movement for good roads will
be seriously injured.
State road laws should be framed so
that, while home rule will not be in
=terfered with, the ignorance of the
local pumpkins will have small chance
to wreak itself on the public highways.
Good roads should be universal in every
American state. and therefore their
construction from funds raised in part
by general taxation should not be a
hardship TO any. 1t is bad plan, as a
general thing, to help those who won't
help themselves, and for this reason
not every kind of local interest and re-
rsponsibility should be abrogated in any
state road law. But a state law grant
ing to each county state aid to the ex-
-tent-of one-third of the cost of road i'm
provement, provided that the plans
should be made and the work itself
supervised by the state engineers,
would secure the desired results with

AN ANCIENT ROADWAY.

Strange Discovery of a Prehistoric High
way i'm California.
huntsman, who has been cunning
in the territory lying south of Sweet
water Dam and along the north slopes
of San Miguel mountain, comes back
with a story of more than usual inter
est. While there he came across He
man c. Cooke, of this city, who has a
geological, if not real, mining incli-
nation, and another man. They are at
work on what has already proved to be
something of surprise, and which
may eventually prove to be very
large sized sensation.
1t appears that in some way Cooke
learned that an ancient road had been
discovered leading from the river level
on the north side to point near the
summit of San Miguel. He decided to
investigate but chiefly for entertain
ment at first. He took a pick and
shovel, established a camp and pre-
pared to make thorough job of it. AS
he progressed his interest increased,
for he soon discovered that below the
shifting surface of the mountain side
and under the debris of vegetation a
solid roadbed, we'll defined and
thoroughly built ext sted- In places
were large trees, indicating its great
age. This road was followed we'll up
into the mountains, and on the way
several branch roads leading off to
different spurs were easily traced. All
along these roads in places Cooke found
pieces of broken rock, which have
given what he believes is the clew to
the construction of the road. He had
some specimens crushed which assayed
well in gold and silver.
This was also supported by the fact
that several implements of manifestly
ancient make have been found, which
are believed to be mining tools. Cooke
thinks he has traced the road TO the
end, and at that point has found a
mound which he believes is the dump
from shaft or tunnel, and his present
work is to find the opening which will
lead to the mine. He believes its dis
covery is not far distant, as he has
narrowed it down to a possible space
of about two hundred feet square.
The conclusion is that this is an
ancient and rich mine, or the road
would not have been made. The dis
coveries are said to be more interest
ing to Cooke because more than once
he has dreamed OF discovering noun
tain of gold and silver, with tools all
at hand for taking out the metal. =

prices get within their reach; in the
third place, we will adopt methods of

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Keep Them in Perfect Condition
Through the Winter.

Through the Winter.
The following method have found
to keep sweet potatoes in perfect or
der until June. Procure a good sup
ply of pine straw from the woods in a
dry time and keep it under cover ready
for use. Dig the potatoes as soon as
frost cuts the vines. If not convenient
to dig at once cut the frosted vines off
at once, or they will harbor fungous
growth that will damage the potatoes.
Dig on a warm, sunny day; lay the po-'
tatoes along the row as dug; and do
not allow them to be bruised by throw
ing into piles. Handle at all times as
gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in
the sun during the day, and in the
evening haul to convenient place.
Place a good layer foot thick of pine
straw on the ground, and on this pile
the potatoes in steep heaps, not over
twenty-five bushels in a pile; cover the
piles thickly all over with the dry pine
straw; now build rough board shed
over the piles, and let them remain
until the weather grows colder, or I'M
til they have gone through a sweat
and dried off. Then cover the heaps
with earth six or eight inches thick
and beat smooth. The important
points are the sweating under ,he pre-
vious cover of the pine straw before
covering with earth, very carefully
handling, and the board cover over
head. Dry earth keeps out more cold
than wet earth. If for family use, put
in smaller piles and take up an entire
heap at once for use, keeping them in
a dry, warm place while using. +.
