KEEPING UP CALVES.
Indoor SummcrinE After June LIpa
Great Advantages

Indoor SumnerinG After June IIDa
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 tindins
cut that protection from heat, flies and
dried pasture is about the cheapest and
most effective plan to adopt. No doubs
one principal reason why more calves
are not housed, says Farmers Adyo.
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
lively, practical and self-sacrifcins
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 or
takes from a little of present personal
comfort, are the ones that wear the
hopeful expression to-day and declare
that the times are mending. There ia
40 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.
cerncd, 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, out
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 il
would have been had its growth beep
contiguous, because its digestion will
he stronger and it will become a larger,
be>ter-looking beast, with greater ca
pacity for service.

STONE ON DNDRAINED CLAY.

rainfall. Successful work in making
a solid and dura BILE roadbed on a clay
foundation has been done in this
town. The first section was put down
two yeass 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.
a finishing coat Of ground granite,
an inch or more in depth when rolled,
gave a hard and even surface. The
roadway is some 80 feet from ditch
to ditch. Such roads are costly to
build, of course, out 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 a 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 a rule,
the travel of the road should not be
disturbed by pIow or machine where
fairly good roadbed has previously
been secured. Neither should the
soil and wash of the bitches be ear
ried up by the machine and placed on
the surface. Soil makes H0ft 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

retentive and heavy, freezing deeply
gives a 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 a 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 unon the roadside may be used at
the bottom, finishing off with small
ccbbles aI.e crushed stone with a good
coat of grav-3 over all
1t is about impossible to make sat
lsiactory 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,
narrow roadbed with a 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
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 foot below the surface
to bind the clay and withstand heavy
travel.-L. F, Abbott, in Ohio Farmer.

WearinR 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
a quaint book in the British museum
there is written an ordinance of the
time of Queen Eliza beth 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
a scarlet gown upon forfeiture of ten
pounds-five pounds to the use of the
town, 80 shillings to the poor mans
box, and so shilliugs 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-fve shillings to the
poor mans box, five shillings to the
mayor, and ten shillings to the use Of

PERMANENT ROADS.
How to Build Them and the Siote
rialS To Re Isch


rials to BE Used.
The best road construction reouires
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 a 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 + oper drainage in the
roadbed is the cause of large part
Of the poor road in the country. Good
drainage of the roadbed is as impor-
tant as the use of good material. \
substratum constantly gorged with
water from hidden springs can never
be depended upon to build on and
afford a 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
of the district system and the appro-
priated labor method is that only
