THE ROADS OF INDIA.

They Are Built SpIendidIy and Kept In
Perfect Repair.
India is a land of good roads. Be
tween all the larger towns well-shaded
macadamized roads are to be found.
The average city pavements of Chicago
St. Paul or New York are not as good
as these long stretches of well-built
roads, with their culverts of solid stone
masonry, and their white-washed mile
stones shining like solitary monuments
in the hot sun. There is an enormous
outlay of money and labor in blasting
and buttresSjng, macadamizing these
roads; but in developing the agricul.
rural and commercial interests of the
mountain regions they are worth all
and more than they cost. The inner
ranges of the Himalayas furnish per-
feet climate and soil for the production
of tea and all the fruits of the tenn
perate zone. Hundreds of thousands of
acres of tea plants have been put out
since these cart roads, as they are COM
monty called, were built. Thousands
of Englishlnen are employees in manag
ing these estates, and all their supplies
of food, building material and ma
chinery are brought to them, and all
the products of the estates are carted
out to the various terminals. Cart
drivers haul by weight and can make
from so cents to one dollar per day.

is from eight TO ten miles. Going down

APPLES FOR COWS.
They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.

They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and the rest be fec
to the cows. Where markets are so de,
pressed as at this time it often happens
that common stock will not pay any
profit at all, while really choice fruit
will bring a fair price. If, therefore, we
ship only the best we have a better
chance of making something on our ap.
pies, and at the same time have lot o!
good feed for the COWS, or, in fact, al.
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
pounds per day for cow. Apples con-
tain a greater proportion of carlo.
hydrates to protein than most feeds;
consequently they need to be supple.
Inented by some feed rich in protein
such as linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran, as the
apples themselves have all the medicin-
al properties that make the linseed val
liable.
If it is possible the apples should be
run through a root cutter, as there is
danger of the cows choking themselves.
This danger is, we think, rather remote,
as we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows, and have yet to see the first COW

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

If apples that are stored in cool
place are headed up in a barrel, they
will keep better.
The land for the sugar beet should
be plowed in the fail, and after plow-
ing, unless the land is very rich, apply
plenty of well-rotted manure.
The potato blight is on the increase.
Bordeaux mixture for blight and paris
green for bugs will have to be kept in
stock by the potato grower.
1t is not much trouble or expense to
construct dollhouse for forcing early
vegetables or growing vegetables IN
winter. The farmer can do this
The apple grower who does not re-
gard the apple as he would any other
crop, and furnish the trees with food,
rs he does other crops, will not sue
coed.
If the farmer would GO at the work
of producing early vegetables. he could
laugh at the low prices for grain, if
they should continue. Early vegetables
always pay.
If fruit trees grow too rapidly they
will not bear well. The force goes into
the wood. When young trees grow too
rapidly it is a good plan to put the
orchard in grass. This will check the
growth.

consists of small metal bowl, which

which gathers near the center. After
the separation in the bowl the cream
and skim milk escape from it through
outlets into separate tubes, from which
they are conducted into cans This ac-
ton of separation is continuous so long
as the bowl is revolving at suitable

''Separators are now commonly sold

farm probably every 100 pounds of skim
milk secured by the old-fashioned

of. The properly-run separator removes
nearly all, if not all of this.

AMERICAN HORSES.

the German Market.

the German Market.
An influential German illustrated
journal notices the report of the Amer
lean consul at Bremen, and states that
Germany furnishes a good market for
American horses. This is significant
fact and "a suggestive one, also. 1t has
not been long since the idea of sending
American horses to Europe would have
been ridiculed. The advance in this
branch of live stock industry in this
country has been wonderful.
The best blood of American English
(which includes Scotland) and French
horses has been used to improve
American horses. And the result is that
these horses are now going abroad in
considerable numbers. Since 1885 it
appears that 10000 horses have beer
shipped from America to German
ports. the chief ports being Hamburg
and Bremen. They bring on an average
about $175 each, and are often resold
for $3.50 at Leipsic and other inland
cities. 1t is stated also by the same
paper that purchasers for these AmerI-
can horses have gone from Sweden and
Denmark to Hamburg to obtain them,
which shows that there is q market in
those countries for American horses.
But it is well to note the fact that
poor stock fails to find purchasers at
remunerative figures. and German
newspapers warn American shippers
that it is useless to send such inferior
animals to Germany. The fact is also
emphasized that great care should be
taken in handling and feeding the
horses on hipboard.-Farmers' Voice.
