KEEPING UP CALVES.

Indoor SummerinE After June Ha.
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, u that it would involve a certain
amount of regular labor in the shape
of chores" which so many object to in
the summer season; but unless we take
lively, practical and self-sacritcins
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 q
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 lie
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 a 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 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 it's growth been
continuous, because it's digestion will
he stronger and it will become larger,
better-looking beast, with greater ca
pacity for service.

STONE ON UNFRAMED CLAY.

rainfall. Successful work in making
a 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 a
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 wears
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,
gaTe hard and evon 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 plow along the out
cr 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 plowing. AS a rule,
the travel of the road should not be
disturbed by plow 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
y 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

retentive and heavy, freezing deeply
gives u soft and muddy surface in

just beyond the wheel ruts, 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

the bottom, finishing off with small
cobbles aI.c crushed stone with good
coat of grav.s 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 a very fair road out of very
poor material. This is improved by n
mingling of sand, gravel or "shingle, -
with the clay to such proportions as tho
readily available supply will admit
even to one-half. This commingled
gravel,or other solid substance should
extend at least a foot below the surface
to bind the clay and withstand heavy
travel.-L. f. Abbott, in Ohio Farmer.

THIS PHOTOGRAPHERS KNEW.
Consequently He Succeeded Where
others Failed.

There is a South side girl who until re-
Gently her friends thought the hardest per
son in the world to please. Not in general,
but in particular crochet OF hers, that was
photography. She used to have an NOR
dinate number of likenesses of herself taken.
The proofs generally seemed to please her
very well, but on receiving the, nnlsheu
product she would go away somewhat dlsap-
pointed and in day or so inform her trlends
that the pictures were not success, that she
didn't like them at all and that she was 60
ing to try some other studio 1t was in vain
that the latter persisted that the. pictures
resembled her very much, or that they were
exquisitely finished, or that they were from
one of the best places in the city. She con-
tinued to be dissatisfied again and again.
She would point out an imaginary ,speck or
what she considered defect in light or
shade, then criticisc the pose and say that
she looked like fright and finally wonder
how the photographer could ask such prices
for so mediocre piece of work.
She was not by any means bad looking,
but many OF the photographers fiattered her:
Her friends knew that she was aware of
this, consequently they could not attribute
her popularity to injured vanity. They made
various guesses and surmises at the real rea-
son of her fastdiousness, but all were soon
er or later disproved. AT last, when they
had about given up she came home one day
perfectly radiant She explained that she
had at last found photographer who under
stood his business. She dilated on the clev-
erness with which he had posed her and his
thorough appreciation of everything truly
artistic. Then she produced some very in
ferior photographs. Her friends were
amazed. They couldn't believe she was Sc
rious. She went on descanting on her sue
cesscess.
Il won't need to have any more taken,
girls" she said.
They were at loss for her reason until the
conclusion of her ecstasy, which ran about
as follows:
"Yes, he's Just the loveliest photographer

How to Build Them and the Mate
rinls to lie 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 good road Gravel is next in inn
portance, and clay can be proftably
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 roadc in the country. Good
drainage of the roadbed is as impor-
tant as the use of good material. A
substtatum 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 contemplstes more or less per-
manent improvements upon town and
county roads each year. The fault
of the district system and the appro.
priated labor method is that only

WEARING Scarlet.


1t is not generally known that the
English royal family is the only one
that has scarlet for its household color.
The Portuguese, Prussian and Swedish
sovereigns, and, in fact most of the
German princes, wear blue. Austria,
like the papal court, chooses black and
yellow. Russia is in dark green, but
England alone has bright scarlet. In
quaint book in the British museum
there is written an ordinance of the
time of Queen Elizabeth which permit
ted the wives of the aldermen of Cam
bridge to participate in the royal priv
ilege of wearing red. The order itself
is rather interesting. ut was ordained
that every alderman who has been
made before Christmas next shall buy
for his wife gown of scarlet; and that
every mayor before Michaelmas next
after his election shall buy for his wife
scarlet gown upon forfeiture of ten
pounds-five pounds to the use of the
town, so shillings to the poor mans
box, and so shillings to the use of the
mayor, and that the wives shall wear
their gowns at the feasts following
Christmas, Easter, Ascension day, and
Whitsunday. To forfeit 90 shillings
for every default-ive shillings to the
poor mans box, five shillings to the
mayor, and ten shillings to the use OF
the town. Chicago Inter Ocean.

WASHING a FINE ARr.

Washing pretty summer gowns and
belongings is a fine art, very easy to
learn. A bright day, plenty of water
and little pSre soap are the necessary
aids in the work. To do it, fill tub
two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve
a cake of Ivory soap (Which will not
fade the most delicate colors), add it
to the water, wash the garments c1re-
fully through it; rinse first in clear wa
ter, then in bluewater; wiring, dip in
thin starch; hang on the line in the
shade. When dry sprinkle and iron on
the wrong side. Gowns thus laun-
dered will look fresh for the entire
summer.

CROSS SECTION OF DRAIN.

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
a competent commissioner had the
roads in charge, certain portions of
the worst places which now call for
annual repairs should be permanent
]y made over, even if it takes higher
appropriation yearly for few years
Take, for instance, stretch of road
where the soil is springy, or for any
cause the drainage is imperefect. 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 n 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 bouglas or straw and finish
with gravel. The idea is shown in Fig.
i. 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.

CRUSHED STONE ON CLAY.

30 years ago the town discarded the
district system, and elected road
commissioner who has held the place
to the present time. From almost i'm
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 matSrial for
road surface. Sand has no use in the
roadhed except iii clay CT kindred

of the worst for good and permanent
