Grain Cheaper Than Hay.

It is. undoubtedly serious loss to
have so much OF the hay crop injured by
excessive rains, as has been the ease
the present year. Yet this may be in
part made an advantage to farmers if
it turns their attention to grain as
a cheaper source of nutrition than
even the best hay can be. More than
this, if given with enough hay or straw
or cornstalks to distend the stomach,
grain is better food because more easily
digested. In the coarser fodder SO much
of the nutrition goes to sustain ami
NAL heat or the processes of digestion.
that comparatively little is left to
make flesh or milk or fats. The knowl-
edge that some grain with hay makes
cheaper nutrition is not half SO widely
extended as it ought to be. If it were
there would be better demand for
grain and it would sell at better prices.

piece that holds the wheel, over which
the rope passes to the windlass, is pro-

just even with the top of the curb, an
iron pin is inserted through it and the

THE COST DIVIDED.
New Jerseys Road Improv ement Law
Is just and Fair.

New Jerseys Road Improvement Law
Is just and Fair.
The farmers of the country are grad
ually going over to the belief that good
roads are for their personal benefit and
there is a decided change of sentiment
along the line in many of the states.
One of the chief obstacles to the reform
has been the fear of the farmers that
the cost of highway improvements
would fall chiefly on them and as they
feel that they are already burdened
heavily enough they resist the passage
of good-roads laws with their local in
fuence and their votes often to the de-
feat of. these worthy projects. New
Jersey has law now in force, however.
that illustrates how properly this bur-
den can be divided between the individ-
ual and the community so that it falls
lightly upon the farmer. This law ap-
portions the cost of all road improve
ments as follows: One-third is paid by
the state, one-tenth by the individual
beneficiary of the improvement, the
owner of the abutting property, and the
remainder by the county in which the
improvement occurs. Reduced to a
scale of thirtieths the state pays ten
parts, the individual three parts and
tn county seventeen parts. Stated in
still another way the various burdens
are more easily appreciated. The aver
age cost of repairing a road with a
macadam finish is about $4,000 mile.
Of this sum the county would pay ST.
700, the state ST 900 and the individual
$500. 1t is to be remembered that the
$500 in this case is usually divided
among several persons, as few proper
ties in this section of the country ex.
tend for much more than a quarter or
half mile along a highway, and the
tax is assessed on the owners on each
side of the road. Thus it will frequent
ly occur that the individual will pay di-
rectly for first-class road in front of
his property and for a mile adjacent
such small sum as $40 or $50. To be
sure he pays as well his share of the
county tax and in less proportion his
part of the state tax, but these burdens
are comparatively light and easily
borne. These improvements in New
Jersey are undertaken on the petition
of the owners of the abutting property.
Such laws as this, if copied in other
states, would probably result in an i'm
mediate betterment of the country
roads in every section, an improvement
OF untold benefit to millions of people.

RURAL EXISTENCE.
Building of Good Roads VIII Make
1t Delightful Indeed.

~ DCAS 1nuceu.
WherevereNperimentsi in rural mail de-
livery have been made it has been found
towork most uccessfully-during clear
weather when the roads were all right
Which indicates how indissolubly
linked together are the problems of
good roads and the uplift of the social
life of the farm.
The time has come when the Ameri-
can farmer must sit down to think out
this question of good roads and how to
get them. 1t is not an exaggeration to
say that to the future of American agri-
culture few things bear so important a
relationship as does the question of
good roads. Indeed, if the generatio
now growing up on the farm is to be
kept on the farm, better social advan-
tages will be found absolutely neces-
sary, and what single thing could con-
tribute so much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question is being dis
cussed in desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
wheelmen of the town and the farmer
of the country should stand shoulder to
shoulder, must be put forth if substan-
tial advance is to be made. With the
harvests out of the way, there should be
set on foot movement looking to this
erd
With good roads farm life will have
ali the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added the advantages of
the town, of a daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm, which so many
now desert for the city, into the most
attractive of homes, and give once more
to agriculture first place among the
professions and occupations of life

Description of an Excellent Cooler for
Small Dairymen.
A well for keeping dairy products and
also fresh meats is a desideratum on
many farms. For ordinary use the well
should be dug by feet, with gut
ter or groove, down one side, Is inches
square. 1t should contain 2 or feet
OF standing water. 1t should be in
easy reach of the kitchen, and attached
to the house if possible. The curbing
should be no larger than the well. A
platform, which fits inside the well,
slides up and down between two tim
bers, which rest on the bottom of the
well and are long enough to reach up
three inches above the curb. These
two timbers should be planed. The
framework of the platform has a
board nailed on each side of it, forming
a groove which fits on the upright tim
bers at each end of the wall. This
makes it rigid and keeps it level. The

ABOUT MILK FEVER.
How to Prevent a Disease That Has
Killed Thousands of Cows.

How to Prevent a Disease That Has
Killed Thousands of Cows.
Milk fever is disease to be dreaded
by the man who has first-class dairy
cows, and who feeds and cares for them
in such manner as to make them large
producers. The man with scrub cows,
ing the winter round the straw stack,
never suffers from loss by milk fever
when his cows come in in the spring.
1t is true he gets no profit out of his
cows, and he rarely gets product enough
from them to pay for the little feed and
care they do have. But he can and does
console himself by saying he never has
men do who "stuff and pamper and
baby their cows"
We have lost, within the past Is years,
several valuable cows with this disease.
We think we now know how to prevent.
a heifer with her first calf never has it
and very rarely with the second half.
A cow that is MIXED continuously,
right up to calving, is not liable to have
milk fever, at least, we have never
known one to. We hesitated to write
that last sentence for fear some one
would accuse us of advocating continu-
Gus milking. That we do not, but still
feel bound to state that fact. A cow that
is starved, or fed just enough to live on,
will never have milk fever.
Our way is to dry the cow up six or
eight weeks before she is due to calve
(unless she is such a persistent mixer
rs to make that impracticable) at the
same time reduce her feed, by taking
nearly if not quite all the grain from
her. Her bowels should be kept loose.
If the cow is in flush pasture, and she IS
one you have reason to believe likely
to have milk fever, the only safe way to
do would be to keep her upon dry feed.
De know it is hard for the man who has
been in the habit of "babying' and pet
ting his cows and feeding them to their
full capacity to refuse them all they
want to eat, but it is the only safe way
to do with some of them. After a cow
has had milk fever once she is more
liable than other cows to have it again,
and if she does have it second time
she will be always most sure to die
