The Country Butter Buxer.

We refer 10 the country grocer who
buys for goods the butter made by his
customers. He is frequently at the
mercy of the poorest butter makers in
his township. They can't sell their
butter to private CUSTOMERS or to the
commission houses; hence it turns up
al the grocery. The grocer pays ten
OF twelve cents a pound for it, and
that is frequently more than it is worth,
as the same butter if sent to city
would be graded as grease" Does the
grocer tell the farmer his butter is not
good? Far from it; he can't afford to
lose customer. Often he gives the
butter word or two of praise, which
convinces the farmer that his wife is
not to be beaten as butter maker. 1t
would never do for the groceryman to
set himself up as judge over the but
Ter OF his patrons.-Farmers' Review.

Experiments relating to potao scab

and possibly. other root crops, catch
ing from one kind to another. Scabby
seed will produce II scabby crop, and
land where scabby crop was grown
this year will produce scabby crop
next year. Barnyard manure increases
the disease, hence, to prevent scab, plant
healthy seed on clean land and use
commercial fertilizers. IL scabby seed
must be planted. first soak them an
hour and a half in IS gallons of water in
which 2Ia ounces of corrosive sub
Innate has been dissolved. This will
cost 2j cents and will treat enough
seed for five acres. Soak seed before
cutting, and wash dirt off before soak
ing.
The sublimate is strong poison and
corrodes metals; hence mix in n wooden
vessel and exercise great care. Put the
mixture in barrel and dip in n bushel
at time in loosely woven sack, and
spread out to dry. The Rhode Island
station confirms above points and adds
two years tests there prove conclusive
~ that lime and ashes aggravate po-
tato scab, which constitutes a serious
objection to their use on potato lands.

entirely out. So far as the barn Is con-

GOOD EARTH ROADS.
Facts to BE Remembered by Those I'm

Fscts TO BE Remembered by Those I'm
trusted with Making Them.
How to make good country road Is
problem of widespread interest. In
large areas of the country, common
earth roads will have to answer all
purposes for some time to come. In
recent number of the Pittsburgh Dis
Iatch. Mr.. John M. burn describes
plan he has followed tor several years
with entire satisfaction, as follows:
Cut the bitches down three or four
feet lower than the roadway, use
two-horse scrapcr to curve the surface,
ind the natural forces set in opera
ton will do all the rest. The water
drains out of the body of the roadway,
the mud surface dries and toughens
as it dries, the scraper fills all ruts
and cuts away all vegetation, the sun
and air dry hornhari surface; rain
storms simply wash II off clean. ami
in an hour or so after the rain it IL w
hard as before. 1 present it as the
most effective solution of the prob
lem of making good country roads with
little expense.

really cannot afford to do so, and it
is really to their assistance 1 desire
to direct these thoughts. This is such
n simple matter and so thoroughly ef-
fective that l desire you to consider
the analysis. The existence of the open
ditch with clean bottom gives water
n chance to drain cut of the body of
the roadway and run away. The tough
mud worked up by hoofs and wheels
becomes tougher and more compact
as it drains from below and dries from
above.
"The scraper drawn by two slow draft
horses attacks the surface when suf-
ficiently dry. all loose stones are moved
into the wheel tracks, everything is
moved towards the middle of the road

the wheelways and the bitches, travel
compacts the still damp material in
its new position. A rain may soften
some of it again. So much the bet
ter. The scraper trims IL smooth again,
and about the third time the road is
smooth, hard, compact and dry. 1t
sheds the water of storm, because of
its curve, and especially because OF
solid, impenetrable surface of tough,
dry material. Thus it remains and acts
until frost sets in. If the freeze-up is
rapid, the road is all tight and remains
so. If alternate freezing and thawing
takes place it will roughen up some
" hat, but the bitches are at work and
very little water can remain in the road
way, and the road don; get bad enough
to speak of.
1T takes water and clay to make
mud. Get the water out as soon as
possible. The bitches do that, and il
is no longer in the roadway, therefore
not much mud. 1t has been very
interesting study to me, and l hav,
watched it in all its ;arying phases for
many years"
