"It iS possible that what with us 10

just the kind for farmers at the West,

there is 80 much scarcity Of young

paid to the rearing Of such, and this
will be another diversion from the

Another thing that will help in
this matter, too, is the better prospects
for the sheep industry In this country.
This branch of farming is adapted to
all parts of the United States, and
within this extended territory, With Ice
diversified conditions, the best breeds

mutton and wool, will be found profit

Stock Raising west-Dalrylng East.

A Vermont correspondent Of Breed.
er'S Gazette takes a hopeful view Of
the future Of stock raising and dairy
ing. 81 am glad" he says, "to note
the improved condition of the beef In
dustry In the West, as weekly reported
In your journal. 1t is to be hoped that
the long depression In this branch of
farming is over and that better
times are ahead. We here In the East
are not doing much In thia line, dairy

Of yonr correspondents speak Of dairy

less turned their attention, as being
dlscoursging and Improbable, and for
this reason they rejoice at the very
manifest improvement In the prospects
for cattle and beef raising, which
comes so nearly in line with their pos
sibilitles and inclinations.
"As the great West seems naturally

stone while undergoing rolling Is sew
ersl fold. In practice broken stone
completely wet down is thoroughly
rolled with a roller weighing ten or
more tons. The wet surface of the
angular rock fragments permits q more
thorough compactlng, as the water acts
ss a lubricant, allowing the stones to
slip by one another with greater free
dom than would be the case were the
fragments dry. AT the same time the
water retains the powdered rock re-
sultlng from abrasion of the particles
and holds it between the fragments.
This process is reactiOnsry and cumu-
latiVe, FOR the presence of the powder
of attritiOn acts through capllarity to
take up and retain still greater quantl-
ties of water until the spaces between
the pieces of broken stone composing
the upper part Of the road become
completely filed with powdered rock.
Not a little of the Cementing or bond
ing Of q road during rolling is In real
itY the effect Of capillary existing
between the grains Of powdered rock
and the adjoining walls. This prinCi-
pie may be observed on our sea shores
and sand roads. While wet, the beach
or road may be firm and un-
yielding, allowing heavily loaded
teams to pass over them, but
when dry such places are impsssa.
BILE for heavy teams and difficult of
passage for sll kinds of vehicles. In
this case cementiDg, as ordinarily un-
derstOOd, plays no part in producing
adhesion between the grains, Upon
drying, the grains are entirely free to
move over one another, having lost the
water which served to bind them TO-
gether. When mscadsm road Is
thoroughly compscted a careful In.
speCtiOn will show that the fragments
of broken stone are closely packed TO-
gether and the spaces between are
filled with fine powdered rock, which,
If derived from a suitable road ma
teTial, carries small percentage of
clay. ANY of our commonly used road
stones contain an spprecisble quantity
of clay disseminated in little particles
in the feldspsr whence it has been de-
rived by the westheEing of the rock
prior to its removal from the quarry.
AS already stated, the microscope
shows that the feldepsr of our traps
and GRANTEES and other road stones is
never entirely free from a considerable
amount of ksolinization, or alteration
to clay. This change has taken place
in the crust of the earth to great
depth, and no road material can con-
tain feldspars free from more or less
of this mineral, depending upon the
character Of the rock and the amount
of weathering to which It has been
subjected. BY the gradual wearing of
the feldspsr, by the abrasive action of
the roller, the wheels of carriages and
the feet of animals, a small but impOr-
tant quantity Of clay is liberated, and
this in combination with any clayey
material that may have been added to
the road serves tc furnish the neces-
sary quantity Of cement to knit the
broken stones firmly together. 1t is
not to be understood that an sppre-
ciable quantity Of clay acts otherwise

to any differential motion Of Che frag-
ments over one another while the load
Is passing along che road, A wetting
Of the superficial portion OF o roadway
during rains tends by the expansion of
the cement to knit the surface together
and make it impermeable to the pas
sage Of water.
From a theoretical standpoint it
would seem probable that q certain
condition of moisture, instead of being
Objectionable TO a roadway undergoing
constant use, is rather desirable than
otherwise. A condition of mOlstness
serves to prevent loss Of material worn
fine by the abrasive action Of the wind,
and the presence Of a thin fllm Of wet
dust acts 90 a cushion to protect the
fragments Of rock from the rude touch
and impact Of passing traffic, thus les
sening the wear and tear Of the sur
face. In the same manner the moist
cement operates to distribute Che bear.
Ing surfaces Of the broken stone and
to reduce the local intensity of che
friction between one rock and another,
although cement In this condition will
tend to allow q greater freedom of
movement among the broken stones,
and hence In this way make the sur
face more yielding. Assuming that
the loss through increased abrasion Of
material resulting from moist cement
between the rock fragments is equal to
the saving due to the CushlOning effect
Of a email quantity Of moisture on the
surface, there still remains a saving to
the road by the protection afforded by
preventing excessive loss through the
action of the wind.
1t is the custo m In England to plant
hedgerOws beside mscadRmized roads
in order to insure a rapid drying Of the
road after q rain by the suns action;
In Germany It has been the practice to
plant fruit trees, particularly the
cherry; while In France the mulberry
tree may be seen along the rOadsldes,
serving the double purpose Of food for
silkWorms and shade. Here is a rad
lcsl difference In practice, and 1t would
seem that from utilitarisn as well as
an artistic standpoint, the custom on
the continent is to be the more com.
mended, especially as by the latter sys-
tenn the trees serve to protect the roads
from the excessive action OF the winds.
In the one case there is no shade to
protect the traveller from the suns
rays; In the other the shade is often
very dense. In this country no prece-
dent has been established In the mat
ter. The States In deciding this ques.
ton must Of course consider latitude
and longitude as affecting the charsC-
ter Of the trees that will flourish
therein and their relation to climatic
conditions; but 1t is to be hoped that
whenever feasible fruit. bearing trees
will be set out, due consideration being
paid to the character of the foliage,
whether 1t be dense, high or low; the
beauty Of the trees; their rate Of
growth; their endurance, and other
characteristics.
