facture OF English cigars is carried on,
principally in the east end of London.
All the ends of cigars and cigarettes,

ing to the requirements of strong or

rolled into cigars"
The above correspondents state
ment TALES with an incident which
occurred some years ago when GER
tain person was charged with illegally
manufacturing cigars. His defense
was that the cigars that he manufac-
tured did not contain particle of to-
bacco. And, what is more, he proved
his case. His cigars were made of
brown paper, embossed to look like
leaves and STEPPED in tobacco juice.

This should always be covered in deep

KEEPING UP CALVES.

Indoor SummerinE After June HaA
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 a 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-sacrificiao
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 a
point where an undertaking adds to OF
takes from little of present personal
comfort, are the ones that wear the
AOlCO anu
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 a 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 moi
less than six or seven weeks old and
the pasture is abundant and of good
quality. Perfect liberty at this time.

milk, and lick of oat chop. oil cake.
or the like, viii start the youngsters il
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 a 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 its digestion will
be stronger and it viii become larger
better-looking beast, with greater ca
pacity for service.

CRUSHED STONE ON CLAY.

30 years ago the town discarded the
district system, and elected a 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 IS 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 roGs 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
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 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
