Modern Methods i'm Horse-Raising.

Good brood mares, that is, those
that are nicely bred, good size, and can
show some action and speed, are be-
coming more valuable every day, and
those that are poorly bred, small in size,
no matter if they do show little action
and speed, are growing less in value
every day. The progressive man is the
up-to-date man, no matter if the times
are hard and business quiet, for he
knows there will be reaction some
time, and when it comes he will have
on hand just what other progressive
men want, and therefore can sell it
at the most advanced prices; while
the man with the stuff on hand several
generations behind time will forever
continue to feed it or will try to give it
away, and to give it away, who will
want it?-Colman's Rural World.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Bill Recently introduced In Congress Pro-
Vides for One.

Bill Recently Introduced In Congress Pro-
vides for One.
A bill has been introduced In the
house of representatives and referred
to the committee on appropriations for
the creation of special commission on
highways 1t provides that one SEN
ator, two representatives, the chief Of
engineers of the army, the director of
the geological survey and the chief of
road inquiry OF the department of agri-
culture shall Constituted commission
to continue during the life of the pres
ent congress, to make reports by bill or
otherwise, and to inquire generally how
the government may promote the inn
provement of highways by the sciea-
tific location of roads on the public do
main, the employment of the geological
survey in the discovery of road ma
terials, the free testing of road ma
terials, the construction of model roads
and instruction in roadmnking at agri-
cultural colleges and experiment stu
tons, the military academy, and, when
practicable, at all institutions having a
military instructor. The commission
is also to confer with the Interstate
way officials to secure reduced rates for
the transportation Of road materials,
and by conference with state authori-
ties and organizations to aid in awaken
ing general interest in road improve
mcnt.
1t is not the function of the national
government to undertake the construc-
ton of wagon roads in the states, but
Mr.. Crisp's objection, made four years
ago, that it is an infringement of state
rights to inquire into the condition of
roads in the states and to encourage
their betterment, is not worthy of seri-
Gus consideration. The educational en-
tecprises of the federal government
have gone too far for the revival of the
old internal improvements controversy
of 20 years ago, and it is not proposed to
repeat the experiment of those times
and build post roads through the states
with national revenue. The efforts of
the department of agriculture to pro-
mote local prosperity and distribute
useful information are as revolutionary
as the modest proposal that the govern
ment encourage road building. If this
may not be done, the Smithsonian insti-
tuition should be careful not to infringe
on state prerogatives i'll scientific re-
search. The bill before the house de-
nands no large outlay. 1t simply APP
propriates SO, 1OO.o5, being the amount
returned to the treasury unexpended
from the last two years appropriations
for road inquiry. The office of road i'll
quiry of the department of agriculture
has done valuable work in circulating
information regarding improvements in
different states and hints on methods
of construction and repair available I'M
der varying conditions. 1t is believed
by those who are doing the chief work
for improved highways that the pro-
posed commission would be valuable
aid in the enterprise, and their opinion
is entitled to consideration.-N. Y.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

In sterilizing their milk the French
dairymen heat it to 176 degrees Fahren-
heit.
The eastern butter markets show
some advance, and it is hoped that q
like condition will soon exist all over
the country.
Get a few Thermometers for use in
butter-making and elsewhere. Re-
member that great deal depends on
having the right temperature.
By the ruling of the government au-
thorities having the matter in charge.
the name of butterine is abolished, and
all such products are henceforth to be
known as oleomargarine.
After person has learned to make
good butter, the next thing is to get a
good market for it. Generally the print
will help to do this and to hold the
market after it is obtained.
Keep your temper when with the
cows. Be gentleman, even in the barn
True gentility extends even to the brute
creation. Make up your mind before
the COW kicks that you viii hold your
temper.-Farmers' Review.

intervals. Wagon wheels would run
easily on fiat rails eight or ten inches
wide, with fanges on either side to pre-
vent the wheels slipping off. Except
xIpon main travelled roads the cost might
be pretty heavy, but there would be al
most no limit to the loads that could be
drawn upon such q track. Bicyclists
could easily use it. The appearance
might not quite equal that of good,
weII-crowned macadam road, but the
idea is worth considering, especially in
regions where macadam stone is scarce.
One beauty of the steel track is that
wagons with narrow tires could safely
use it. Macadam necessitates broad
tire law, which causes some opposition.
How true it is that there's nothing
new under the sun! Here we are again
back at the old plank road idea. A steel
plank running lengthwise instead of a
wooden one crosswise; that's all the diff
ference.
And in the west, the last few years
have seen the temperance Of the prai-
RE. schooner and the freight wagon.
