OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
The improvement of Roads Is by No
Means a Local Issue.

Ihe Improvement OF ROADS Is by no
Means "A Local Issue.
There is not man, woman or child
III the land that has not a personal
interest in the question of better roads
There is no article produced, imported
or exported, the cost of which is not
in some degree affected by the char
acter of the common roads over which
it is transported from the field, the
mine, the mill or the shop to the user or
consumer, and the worse the roads over
which it is transported the less it
yields the producer, and the more it
costs the user or consumer; and the
loss thus borne year after year by the
entire people of the nation is SO enor-
nous that it cannot be reasonably APP
proximated. 1t costs less to transport
commodities across the continent by
rail, or from continent to continent by
water, than it does over single mile
of our common roads during nearly half
the year.
Bad roads do not pay. When the
people realize this, the question be-
comes a national one.-Wm. II. Rhawn.

must necessarily depend upon complex
conditions, and it is not often that the
one is selected that offers the least re-
sistance to traction.
The kind of material at hand, its
durability, the kind of traffic to be &C.
cnmmodated, all enter into the ques-
ton of selection.
The use of material that will insure
permanent, smooth surface, wet or dry,
and unaffected by frosts, besides being
obtained at reasonable price, is to be
commended.
While the results given above are
approximate, as the exact tractive force
varies over the same road, probably
every day in the year, and very prob
ably no two roads are exactly the
same, yet they are a fair average and
doelieved to be reliable for basing com
putations.-Hiram Phillips, C. Z, in
Rural World.

RAISING THE CALF.
The Digestive Organs Must Be GivoA
Proper Consideration.

INC OlSOSCltO OFBaHS MuSO DO OIvOn
Proper Consideration.
1t is of the utmost Importance
whether the calf is raised for the dairy
or for the butcher that its digestion be
kept in perfect condition the first year
of it's existence, so that ii may become a
profitable animal. To do this it is
necessary to feed carefully and keep the
calf supplied with sufficient quantity
of food to make it quiet and satisfied
1t is desirable, of course, to keep the
calves pushing ahead, but it is best to
make haste slowly. In your eagerness
to show growth, do not overfeed, or you
will upset the digestive apparatus and
check development for a time at least.
Determine the destiny of the calf, and
feed accordingly. If heifer. and you
are raising it for dairy purposes. do moi
feed too much fattening food. If the
heifer once acquires the habit of put
ting everything on her back it is prac-
tically impossible to induce her to
change in favor of the milk pal. Cows
are just as much creatures of habit as
men are, and we all know the difficulty
of reforming our ways. Therefore,
train the heifer in the way you wish
her to go. Give her such food as will
promote rapid growth. Bone and
muscle are the points to be aimed at.
A fat heifer is apt to divert into flesh
the food intended for the production of
milk. Therefore. cornmea1, timothy
hay and other carbonaceolis foods are
to be eschewed. Oats, clover hay. wheat
bran, ETC., will do much to stimulate
milk production. A few carrots or
other roots will give the occasional zest
required by the appetite.--N. Y. World.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Small Packages to Be Transported at Very
Low Rates.

The suggestion that the British gov
eminent should establish an agricul-
tural parcels post throughout the
United Kingdom SO as 10 enable the
farmers and the market gardeners to
deal directly with the consumer has
rot yet been acted upon. But the sug
gest;on has borne fruit in another way
1t has led to one of the English rail
ways introducing a scheme which
promises to highly benefit the agricul-
tural communities. The railway pro
roses to transport in small packages
perishable products at greatly reduced,
charges. The goods are to be shipped
on passenger trains. A package weigh
ing 20 pounds may be sent to London
from any station within 100 miles for
eight cents. For every additional five
pounds up to 60 pounds an additional
charge of two cents will be made. No
box Of greater weight than 60 pounds
will be received at this rate. The prod
uce must be shipped i'll certain kinds
of boxes. which may be bought of the
railway company if desired. Prices
vary from three to ten cents, according
to SIZE. For preparing charges parcei
stamps which can be affixed to the
package are on sale at the stations.
1t is thought that this arrangement
will stimulate the shipment of perish
able goods direct to London and will
bring producer and consumer in direct
contact. Not merely will the commits
sion charges be saved in many cases.
but the freshness of the produce and
the ease with which it is obtained
should largely stimulate consumption.
We should like TO see some such scheme
introduced on American railways. AS
matters now stand many city families
purchase fruit and vegetables from the
corner grocery which would be ordered
direct from the farmer were not the
railroad charges practically prohibit

A FARMERS COMPASS.
Little Implement That Is Useful for a
Variety of Purposes.

Variety of Purposes.
Enclosed please find a diagram of a
farmers compass, little implement
which 1 find very handy in setting
buildings, squaring up fields, etc. Take
a pine beard IS or 20 inches square; lay
eff perfect square and put brad in
each corner. Draw lines diagonally
across so DIS to find the exact center, and
drive brad in it. File sharp, and be
sure they line up exactly. Fasten a
sharpened stick or post to the board, or
nail the board securely to stake, and
the implement is done.
In this country northwestern Ohio)
where the land is laid off by range or
section, it is easy to run lines at right
angles to the roads. By setting the
compass so the brads will range with a
given line and by looking across the
other way you have right angle, and
by setting stakes in range you can run
as many angles as you choose.
The idea is not original with me.

Stripping is. for the most part. to
be avoided; it encourages habit in the
COW of retaining part of her milk.which
is liable to operate toward driving her

through absorption of milk thus left
in the system the health of the COW is
affected. The only good that can pos

so; for proof of which observe the eX-

had to be shipped by railroad because
the highways were in too bad condi
