KEEPING UP CALVES.
Indoor Summering After June Has
Great Advantages.

Indoor Summering After June Has
Great Advantages.
The practice of keeping calves housed
the first summer of their lives is be-
coming more and more general each
year among progressive dairymen and
beef raisers. Those who are endeavor-
ing to find profit in either of those
branches of stock raising are finding
cut that protection from heat, flies and
dried pasture is about the cheapest and
most effective plan to adopt. No doubt
one principal reason why more calves
are not housed, says Farmers Advo-
cate, is that it would involve certain
amount of regular labor In the shape
of chores" which so many object to in
the summer season; but unless we take
a lively, practical and self-sacrificing
interest in our business in these times
we cannot hope to reach the goal of
greater profits In our business. The
wide-awake and enterprising competi-
tors who do things because they should
be done and not draw the line at
point where an undertaking adds to or
takes from little of present personal
comfort, are the ones that wear the
hopeful expression to-day and declare
that the times are mending. There is
no question in the minds of those who
have tried both plans but that indoor
summering has great advantages over
pasturing after the third week in June.
So far as turning the calves out few
weeks on the fresh pasture before the
heat and flies become harmful is con-
cerned, there can be no greater disad-
vantage, provided the calves are not
less than six or seven weeks old and
the pasture is abundant and of good
quality. Perfect liberty at this time,
along with fresh grass or clover, skim
milk, and lick of oat chop, oil cake,
or the like, will start the youngsters in
the way to be profitable feed consum-
ers. So long as these favorable condi-
tions exist in the pasture lot there Is
no advantage in making changes, but
when the time comes that q cool, dark
stable and mown clover or oats and
tares would give the calves greater
comfort, just at that time should such
conditions be administered. This Is
more particularly applicable to calves
that are to become beefers, because we
want to sell for money some time in
the future every pound of gain our
feed has made and not allow any of it
to be lost after being once beneath the
skin. With dairy calves rapid develop
ment, when of a muscular character,
is very important. A stunted animal
is always much less profitable than it
would have been had its growth been
continuous, because its digestion will
be stronger and it will become a larger,
better-looking beast, with greater ca
pacity for service.

drain otherwise, and when the soil II
retentive and heavy, freezing deeply
gives q soft and muddy surface in
spring. 1t is well to cut down squarely
just beyond the wheel ruts, a foot or
more and let the soil form shoulder
to hold the stone. Form the bitches
upon the sides rather shallow SO as not
to remove the support to the shoulder
which holds the stone from sliding from
the roadbed. See Fig. 3.
Stones from the fields and useless
wall upon the roadside may be used ut
the bottom. finishing of with small
cobbles and crushed stone with good
coat of gravel over all.
1t Is about impossible to make sat
isfactory roads on clay without in some
way providing drainage, so contrived
that the least possible water will re-
main in the material which forms the
travel OF the road. Deep side bitches,
n narrow roadbed with high crown,
thus making the water level 20 inches
to two feet below the travel is one way
to form very fair road out of very
poor material. This Is improved by
mingling Of sand, gravel or "shingle,"
with the clay to such proportions as the
readily available supply will admit
even to one-half. This commingled
gravel or other solid substance should
extend at least foot below the surface
to bind the clay and withstand heavy
travel.--L. F. Abbott, in Ohio Farmer.

How 20 Build Them and the Mate
rails to he Used.
The best road construction requires
right material. The three principal
things are stones, gravel and clay.
Each town where suitable stones are
plenty should own one or more stone
crushers. Crushed stone forms the
very best material for the foundation
of q good road. Gravel is next in i'm
portance, and clay can be profitably
used on sand, and in some instances
sand on clay formation.
The lack of proper drainage in the
roadbed is the cause of large part
of the poor roads in the country. Good
drainage of the roadbed is as impor-
tant as the use of good material. A
substratum constantly gorged with
water from hidden springs can never
be depended upon to build on and
afford dry and solid road. The first
essential is to get rid of the water on
the surface and below it.
The right policy of road improve
ment contemplates more or less per-
manent improvements upon town and
county roads each year. The fault

CRUSHED STONE ON CLAY.

80 years ago the town discarded the
district system, and elected road
commissioner who has held the place
to the present time. From almost inn
passable highways in the spring of
the year, that is, over certain portions,
these 65 miles of highway have been
transformed into smooth and dry
roads. Nearly four miles of stone
drains have been put in, varying from
four or five rods in length to over
100 rods long.
Gravel forms the best material for
road surface. Sand has no use in the
roadbed except in clay or kindred
formation. A clay foundation is one
of the worst for good and permanent
road building. Clay packs in dry
weather but softens up easily during

rainfall. Successful work in making
solid and durable roadbed on a clay
foundation has been done in this
town. The first section was put down
two years ago and thus far affords
dry, solid, and apparently durable
roadbed. For years the practice had
been, annually and as often as rains
and large amount of travel rendered
the road muddy and uneven, to haul
on crushed stone and keep the surface
fairly smooth and even. Two years
ago the surface was covered with
crushed stone three or four inches
deep, and thoroughly pressed down
with the steam roller. On top Of this
screened stone and coarse gravel was
placed two inches deep and rolled.
A finishing coat of ground granite.
an inch or more in depth when rolled,
gave hard and even surface. The
roadway is some 30 feet from ditch
to ditch. Such roads are costly to
build, of course, but the universal opin-
ion among men of good judgment in
these matters seems to be that such
thorough work pays, and is the cheap
est in the end. See Fig.2.
In using the road machine on the
country roads the proper thing to do
is, first, to run the pillow along the out
CT limit of the gutter or ditch. This
gives straight ditch and loosens up
the soil so that two horses will carry
the machine about as easily as four
will without the blowing. AS rule,
the travel Of the road should not be
disturbed by pillow or machine where
fairly good roadbed has previously
been secured. Neither should the
soil and wash of the bitches be car
ried up by the machine and placed on
the surface. Soil makes soft road.
This should always be covered in deep
ly in some way, and let the hard pan
or substratum form the top.
In some places it Is necessary to re-
move the top soil foot or more In depth
and fill in stone. Such places frequent

temporary work is done, SO, by the
time the annual round of repairs is
gone through with, the money APP
propriated is so far exhausted that
an outlay for permanent improve
ments is not warranted; whereas If
n competent commissioner had the
roads in charge, certain portions of
the worst places which now call for
annual repairs should be permanent
ly made over, even if it takes higher
appropriation yearly for few years.
Take, for instance, a stretch of road
where the soil is springy, or for any
cause the drainage is imperfect. No
permanent Improvements can be made
in such places without proper drain
age is effected.
To do this adequately open ditch
four feet or more wide and three and
a half to four feet deep in the center
of the travel. Fill this with rough
stones, placing the first ones thrown
in so as to form an open drain; fill
in the stone till within foot of the
top, using the smallest stones for the
top; If crusher is in use the coarser
of these, which is best. then cover with
evergreen boughs or straw and finish
with gravel. The idea is shown in Fig.
/. The important thing is that these
drains always lead to and end at an
open culvert. This is an effectual
remedy for "honey pots" or slough
holes when the frost is leaving the
ground in spring.
