Highway Improvement--.Re-Elect
Road Commissioners,

The state highway commission is
making the subjoined appeal to voters:
"In the interests of highway improve
ment, the State Commission desires to
call attention at this time to the desira-
bility of towns re. electing road commits
sioners where such officials have given
satisfaction in their work, and proved
themselves competent to fill the posi-
tions. The custom of passing this office
around, or of electing new man each
year, is expensive for the towns and
tends to greatly retard the progress of
road improvement. A town can i'll
afford to lose the experience which a
capable commissioner has acquired.
Experience should be considered as
valuable an acquisition in road building
as in any other line of work; and the
sooner the idea that any man can build
roads ceases to prevail the more rapidly
will the highways of this state be
brought into proper condition. Thou
sands of dolla are annually wasted in
Vermont while ne W men IRE expert
menting with the roads. A provision
of the law of 1894 elbows towns 30 de-
string to elect road commissioner for
three years, but in order to take ad
vantage of this provision, it is necessary
that vote to that effect be taken when
the commissioner is elected. This was
not clearly understood last year. 1t
frequently happens that commissioner
is unable to undertake an important
piece of work because the money or
time available during a single season
will not suffice to complete it. We're
he assured of his Office for three years
this would become possible and he
could plan his work accordingly. II
the towns generally took advantage of
this act, it would greatly increase the
amount Of permanent work on the high
ways"

The POnItrY Yard.

A RUN in snow and slush will not
help hens to lay. Either shovel away
the snow or keep them in their house.
1T is especially necessary to avoid
giving too much stimulating spices to
breeding fowls, as the eggs in such cir
cumstances are apt to be infertile.
The poultry keeper who trusts his
early broilers to an outdoor brooder at
this season takes great risks. A shed
is a good thing to have over a brooder
until April.
ETERNAL vigilance is the price Of
safety from fires on the part of those
who are now using incubator and
brooder lamps. Two points of great
importance are: To give the lamps suf-
ficient pure, cool air, and to keep the
burners and wicks clean.
IN the effort to make hens lay and
chickens grow, many poultry-keepers
have habit of feeding red pepper, gin
ger and prepared stimulants with every
mess OF ground feed or vegetables.
When the birds show an increased APP
petite and greater apparent vigor, the
stimulant is given in still greater guam
titles, on the principle that if little
will do good, more of the same will do
greater good. The result in such cases
is that when the birds are allowed
abundance of fattening food they be-
come overfat and are liable to drop
dead suddenly from apoplexy. If
hens, they lay on fat, but do not lay
eggs. If, instead of fattening food
they have eggmaking material sup.
piled, they lay freely for awhile and
then break down with disease of the
oviduct or become paralyzed in their
limbs. In nearly all instances, diges.
ton is impaired, and the final result il
loss rather than gain. A little salt, q
little pepper, or some other condiment
may sharpen the appetite, temporarily
invigorate bird, and thus far may be
useful. Bat, after all, the best tonic ia
wholesome food. In their natural con-
dition fowls get the slight stimulani
they need in the aromatic seeds and
berries they pick up on their foraging
grounds, 80 that tonics are not to be
wholly eschewed. The chicas grow
and the hen lays only when they have
the elements required to make bone,
muscle and eggs, and these are found
only in nourishing food, and not in
condiments.-Farm journal.

ends was quite audible every time she
moved, and the part below the break
appeared to be held only by the skin.
Thinking that even nature with human
help could but fail with such case,
proposed to knock her in the head, but
father thought it best to give her q
chance for her life, 80 we put her
where she could get plenty of grass and
water. And would you believe it, 80
completely did she recover, that few
months after, when taking her with
nineteen others to market, she led the
rest on run for the first mile. Fear
ing they would take the wrong road,

good second, almost wished she
would break another leg before we got
to the end Of the heat. - Practical

Healing Broken Legs.

Because your cow happens to get her
leg broken, do not knock her in the
head. We have had three accidents of
that nature lately, and all three animals
have fully recovered. The first, a good
yearling heifer, had her left hind leg
broken below the hook by small stone.
We improvised a sling that held her
very satisfactorily. We cut two poles
five feet long, suspended them from
the josts in shed by rope at each
of the ends, so they lay horizontally
about three feet from the ground
and two feet apart. Then we lifted
the heifer between them, spread two
sacks under her breast and belly, sewed
the ends to the poles with binding cord,
not tied, as they would soon become
like rope and hurt her when she
rested. We fastened another sack in
front of her chest aud one behind her
thighs. These kept her from throwiog
herself out of the sling. Then placed
wide board, lengthwise with her
body, between her legs, and dug the
earth from under the broken limb. By
slipping the ropes over the joists we
kept the sling adjusted to her comfort.
With temporary manger set high I'M
der her head she could reach her food
easily. She rested or stood as her feel
ings dictated, and really seemed to en-
Joy herself. In three weeks we gave
her liberty, and after four months no
one could have told which leg was in
iured without close examination.
The second was a COW about six
years old. We found her with one
hind leg broken above the hook. We
let her remain where she was, although
it narrowed our feelings somewhat, and
carried feed to her. She soon learned
to rise and limp about, and now runs
with the rest of the herd with My the
slightest hint of lameness to remind US
of what unassisted nature did. Another
COW, twelve years old, fell on slippery
floor aud broke her fore leg belo" the
knee. The grating of the fractured

or at the last time of cultivating. Thus
corn and grass are the main crops, and
nearly as much corn as grass is grown.
Most of these men have silos and are
engaged in dairyiDg. These men need
to make one more change, substituting
clover for large part of the erase, and
then the would have an ideal rotation.
Why not9 Clover enriches the soil;
grass impoverishes it. Clover is a far
better dairy food than timothy. Your
ton, Of timothy contains only about
twenty seven pounds of digestible flesh
formers (protein), while a ton of red
clover contains eighty pounds, and a
ton of white clover, ia pounds. The
clover gathers this up from the air and
holds it ready for you to mako into
feed for your cattle. After your cattle
have digested it, and it has served its
purpose in their bodies, you will get a
good part Of this heterogeneous material
back in the solid and liquid manure.
If you take good care of this, you will
get two uses of the nitrogen which the
clover has gathered from the air.
On the other hand, your hay gets its
nitrogen mainly, If not wholly, from the
soil, and so robs it of it's most valuable
element. So VIII lie your grass robs the
soil, clover would enrich it. The roots
and stubble of the clover are also as
good as q heavy dressing of manure OF
fertilizer. If every far ner in Vermont
who has grass land that can be readily
plowed would put one third or more OF
his grass into corn, and another third
or more into clover, do you suppose the
farmers would be go poor?

Seeding Down with Hungarian Grass.

Asubscriber and reader of the WATCH
MAN (H. H. W. wishes to seed down a
piece where corn was grown last year,
using Hungarian grass as nurse crop.
He asks whether by sowing it early he
can cut it twice. To seed down with
Hungarian the land should be made
quite rich, or the future grass crops
will be light, unless the soil is very
strong. The ground should be made
very fine on the surface. If H. H.
W." has cutaway harrow, or similar
tool, he might not need to pillow the
corn ground, especially if the soil is
light. Three pecks of Hungarian, or
millet, are used on an acre where hay
is desired. 1t should be cut for hay
when in full bloom. If left till it be-
gins to go to seed, the stem gets hard
and woody, and unfit for cattle to eat.
1t cannot be sown with good success
until the ground is thoroughly warm.
do not think it will grow up again
after being cut once. Nor do 1 think
millet can be cut twice.

Hay or Whats
BY j. W. NEWTON.

Thoughtless farming, routine farm
ing, doing as ones grandfather did be-
cause one has got in the habit of it, has
fallen into the old-time ruts,-such
farming is done mostly at a great loss.
If man has a small family and few
expenses, if he has learned TO spend
very little, he may live on in the old
way. But to gain anything like sue
cess, to support a large and growing
family and educate children as they
need to be educated, a farmer must in
these days think, and look about to find
how he can improve his ways of farm
ing. There are some farms which ought
to be abandoned. They never should
have been cleared, or if cleared, they
should have been kept in pasture. In
stead of deploring the abandonment of
such land to pasture and forest, we
ought to be thankful that any human
being has no longer to struggle on in
the hopeless task of getting decent
living off from such soil. Land that is
full of rocks and stones, and that is too
wet to grow crops after it is plowed,
should be left to nature. No man
should be compelled to wear himself
out on such land, and no woman should
be forced to live under the shadow of
such life.
But there are thousands of acres
which do not pay for cultivating under
their present management which might,
if rightly managed, produce large and
paying crops. Ride through the state
in the summer and note the acres of
light grass, hardly enough of crop to
pay for cutting. Often the owners
will tell you that once those fields bore
heavy crops year after year, and they
sigh as they think of the change. All
over the state are farmers who are
blowing up small pieces, planting them
to corn or potatoes with manure and
fertilizer, then seeding down to grass
with oats-the same old way in which
those fields have been dealt with for
years. All the way such farming diff
fers from their fathers or grandfather's
method is that now fertilizers are put
on where formerly they were not.
Men who farm thus and with such
results need to do some serious think
ing. A good many have thought, and
have found better way. do not
know how it is in other p ,rts OF the
state, but in the parts with which l am
acquainted great change is gr sduslly
going on in farm methods. Small
grains, like oats, are being dropped out,
three and four times as much corn is
planted, and grass seed is sown either
on the corn ground just before planting,

THE market for sweet-oream butter

The market for sweet-oream butter
is very limited, and is confined entirely
to private trade. Sweet-cream butter
is not quoted in the market reports,
and it is marketed only through private
channels. The demand for it is con-
stantly increasing, however. If well
made, it will keep nearly as well as
butter made from ripened cream, but it
is not intended that it should be kept
any great length of time. The manu-
facture of it does not differ materially
from that of other butter, except that
the cream is churned while sweet
