THE ROAD.
A Historical Highway Partially Built b
the General Government.

A Historical Highway Partially Built by
the General Government.
Are you old enough to remember the
national road?
Before railroads were either plenty
Or much needed, the general govern
ment undertook that historic highway
starting from Baltimore and going
through Wheeling and Cincinnati to
the Mississippi river. The work was,
in general, SO good that it took several
years of neglect on the part of the
local authorities, after the highway
was surrendered to the counties, to
roads in its vicinity. That road was
built for military purposes, and low
the people are asked to do work of the
same kind for their own pleasure, con-
venience and profit.
Pioneers will tell you what an ad-
vantage the national road was to them
in the early days. 1t will be found
also that the prosperous new state in
pioneer times vas known by it's SUI
perior state roads. By tradition and
almost by hereditary instinct the Amer
lean people ought to be a nation of
road builders.
The trouble is that, in the general
rush and hurry of improvement in 9TH
err directions, the steam railroad and
even the trolley lines bid fair to take
the item of road building out of the
hands of the people altogether. Sure
", besides these a of transit and
transportation, a neighborly, civilized
nation like this needs good roads that
will be, SO to speak, the peoples own
private thoroughfares for their use in
the friendly intercourse OF life!
The shiftless road maker has long
been a subject of ridicule; but the
good-roads movement finds him a Dui-
sanee and an obstruction. His methods
must be summarily swept aside.-Once
a Week.

SLoP FOR DAIRY COWS.
Another Popular Fallacy Disproved by
Official Experiments.

Another Popular Fallacy DisprOved by
Official Experiments.
There is a general belief that slop-
ping cows greatly increases their flow
of milk, and hat the resulting yield is
correspondingly poor in butter fats;
and to prove or d~isprove this, the ex-
pertinent station at Guelph, Ont, has
for the past two years been expert
menting along this line, and to their
! surprise there is practically nothing in
the belief. The cows, when fed the
grain in form of slop would, if fed once
a day, give slightly lower, but not uni
form, percentage of fat, about 0.4 of l
per cent; but in every instance where
slop was fed twice a day there was a
marked falling off in milk yield.
These tests were conducted in periods
of thirty days each, so as to get the
full effect of the feed, and in the gen.
eral averages the dry-grain fed COWS
came out ahead.
As to the variation of fat content of
the milk, the sum total of all the aver
ages showed that there was no more
loss in the end than the variations
found in the fat content of cows fed
dry foods, and the sum total of two
years experiments is against the idea
that slop food increases the milk yield
If anything is to be deduced from the
tests it is that cows gave less milk if
the stopping was very marked, and the
percentages of fat yielded were actual
ly inconsequential SO far as change vas
concerned in either ease.
The conclusions are that the best
''slop" that AN be fed a cow is q good
ration of corn, silage, roots or uncured
grain folders, and the drink that a COW
has is best in the form of good water,
governed by the inclination Of the ami.

THE FARMING WORLD.
TANNING
How to Support the Vines to Keep Them

How to Support the Vines to Keep Them
Of the Ground.
correspondent asks about the best
way to train tomatoes. We presume
u friend wants to know how best to
support them to keep them off the
ground, and prevent them from rot
ting, as they are apt to do when
allowed to fall down and grow unre-
| stricted.
There are several plans that are
| good, says the Farm. One is to drive
four stakes around the plant about
two feet apart and fasten crossties to
them, making a square support and
training the vines to grow up over
these and droop down the outside.
This does very well if the vines are to
be allowed to grow as rankly as they
will, and where the crop is of any size
is about the best way we know of. For
the number of plants that are grown
IN an ordinary garden we prefer to tie
each vine to a single stake three feet
high, and keep it pretty well pruned.
We allow a branch to start out and
grow until blossoms appear on it and
pinch it off just above the blossoms.
All the numerous branches that spring
out along the sides are looked after
and kept picked off and the whole
strength of the vine is reserved for a
few punches of fruit. This causes the
fruit to be larger and to mature bet
ter, and in the end about as much in
weight will be produced as would be
if the vine were allowed to run wild.
Tomatoes stand any amount offertil-
izing and need a great deal of water
if the weather is dry, they will survive
the severest drought. We cover the
surface around the plants with scrap
ings from the %barnyard and gradual
ly work this fertilizer into the soil in
the course of cultivation. When we
have occasion to water the plants we
put not less than two gallons to each
plant, and the next morning cultivate
the ground thoroughly. This liberal
watering will do for three or four
days, as the cultivation makes Il mulch
of fine soil on the surface and prevents
rapid evaporation. Tomatoes respond
readily to good care, and it pays &c
give it to them.

ments in the prevention of cane rust,
it would seem that the most rational
treatment for it is as follows:
In the spring, before the start,
spray them with a solution Of sulphate
of copper Cblue vitrioD made by dissolv-
ing one pound of it in fifteen gallons
of water. Later, spray the new cane
with Bordeaux mixture, probably
about three times, at intervals of about
two weeks, commencing as soon as the
new canes are one foot high. Care
should be taken not to get the Bor-
deaux mixture on the leaves of the
~fruit-bearing canes, as they are quite
liable to be burned by it.-Farm and

Some Merits of Ensilage.

The p~alatability of ensilage is n of
its great recommendations. 1t will be
eagerly eaten by stock even when they
are off feed, and hence it is a great
help in keeping them in condition. Its
laxative qualities, by preventing con-
stipation and lessen;ng the danger of
impaction, remove a serious obstacle
from the path of dairymen. Its con-
venience and lack of waste are also
strong points in its favor. Everyone
who has given the silo q fair trial
agrees that it is the best possible sub
stitute for fresh grass, and that it is q
continuance which has come to STAY.

DEVICE FOR OLI MILK.
better, as follows: To a AKA timber,
4 feet long, are attached two circular
platforms 3 feet in diameter; these
platforms are % inches apart. On the
lower n the cans containing milk
and cream are placed. on the upper
one crooks of butter or other articles
that n desires to keep cool.
The can are made of heav-
lest tin So inches in diameter
and 20 in height. To them are secured
handles 5 inches from the top; on these
handles set the can covers, which are
9 inches in diameter at the closed end,
iaring to 10 inches at the other end.
These covers are 6 inches deep, and
when in proper place on the cans there
is considerable air space over and
around the top of the cans, allowing
the gas and odors to escape, but pre-
venting the water from entering when
all are submerged in the well. Milk
is set for "a hours. Each morning and
evening the cage is raised, new milk is
put on, and that which has been on for
"a hours is SKINNED. This SKINNED
milk is always sweet. To the handles
of the cans are hooked small wooden
tags marked respectively NJ, E, c,
standing for morning, evening, cream,
which enables n ata glance to deter
mine the contents of a can and age Of
milk. The a is weighted with brick
attached to the bottom so.as'to give the
necessary weight to sink cans and CON
tents as deeply as desired, and assist
in maintaining their upright position.
This apparatus was used all through
the hot summer months of last year
and continued last winter, with the
result of always obtaining firm, sweet
and high colored butter.-J. s.. Fowler.

After having been held for some

who gave up the craft.

This cargo was landed at Gross
