FAULTY CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing Can De Expected of a Mac
ndam Roadway That In With
out Solid Foundation.

The requisites of macadam road COLI
struction-perfect drainage, careful
building, ample rolling and no clay for
binding, have been frequently pointed
out. One result Of not securing them Is
told by Greenville, n. j., man in the
Jersey City Journal, in describing n
street in his town. He says:
"To prepare this road for the mac-
adam nothing further was done than
TO scrape the upper crust so as to make
It level. Then crushed stone was scat
tered until layer Of stone nine inches
deep was laid. The laborers then spread
a thin layer of earth over the stone and
steam rollers were put to work. When
the mass became fairly compact the
so-called macadam pavement was COM
pictc1l.
II predictt d at the time that after the
first winters frost the level Of the road
would not only be destroyed, but that
the earth filling would either be washed
AWAY or settle between the crushed
stone, thus exposing the top layer. My
prediction was verified during the
spring following. At the places where
the filling settled the roadway sank and
formed deep holes, and great stretches
of the roadway where the filing
washed away were as rough as q nut
meg crater.
'Trailic added TO the destruction, and
in order to maintain the semblance OF
n pavement the street and water COM
missioners were compelled to spend s3,-
900 for repairs. A new layer Of crushed
stone and screenings restored the pave
ment TO smooth condition, but last
spring the road WINS in even worse con-
dition than before. Another contract
for repairs was awarded and a can
tractor Is now ut work endenvoring to
create a road out Of what will never be
q road unless firm foundation of Tel
ford is laid under the crushed stone"

LESSON OF THE PRESENT.
Recent History Has Pointed Out the
Absolute Necessity OF Good
Country Roads.

Il may be seriously questioned
whether any country that can be
classed among the civilized nations OF
the earth can show such poor wagon
roads az the United States, unless 1t DO
Russia and the smaller principalities OF
southeastern Europe. The early settle
ments In the United States were mainly
along the banks Of navigable waters,
and the steam railway came SO soon
after commerce developed between the
growing towns that the roads, which
hud In some cases been started, wero
neglected.
In Europe, wagon roads were con-
structed long before the introduction
of steam. and conditions there have
made it necessary to maintain and de-
velop them. II is only within ten years
that America has begun to learn how
much she loses from the present bnd
condition Of her highways, and is at last
beginning to set about improvements
in earnest.
At present the condition of Cuba is
attracting much attention. We nj
ready see the losses that have been en-
tailed there by the absence of anything
that can be called road, and we will
realize much more fully in short time
what decent highways mean to coun-
try when they begin to be opened up
in the long dormant ex-Spanish islands
and their many resources are developed
America Is entering upon period OF
increased activity In commerce and
manufacture. She has lately been
forced into unexpected relations with
the other powers of the world. Distant
outlets are demanded for our produc-
tions and more perfect facilities at
home for their preparation. Success
full competition in the great markets
of the world means that all classes ut
home must enjoy prosperity and de-
velop conditions of the greatest posi-
hle efficiency, and, to accomplish this,
nothing is moro important than the
best means Of transportation and per-
feet accommodation among all
sections of the country over firm high.

should Make Most Stringent
Rules Against Noises.

1t has been established beyond doubt
that the COW that is allowed to dwell
In peace and quiet Is more valuable
than she would be II she were disturbed
by rude noises and excited by unkind
treatment.
Early one morning last week we no.
.ticed herd Of cows being driven to the
milking yard by noisy dog and n boy
almost us noisy. The man who owns
those cows does not understand dairy
ing, or he would kill the dog and sub
due the boy or drive up the cows him
self.
II has been shown by actual test that
the butter fat in the milk Of herd Of
cows can be reduced us much rs ten per
cent. by exciting them just before they
are MIXED.
Every man who keeps dairy should
make a rule against noises, rough treat
ment or rude actions about the milking
yard. and then rigidly enforce the rules.
Unless this Is done the value of the herd
will be observation-disclosures Voice.

AS can be seen, il is cheap, very SIM
pie of construction and is easily moved
from one place to another. In making
it, all that is required are narrow
strips of boards sawed in proper
lengths and held in place with plenty
of nails. Indeed, the uprights at the
ends should be nailed very firmly to the
rack, and have their lower ends sharp
ened, so that they can be driven into the

Women living In small rooms And
that lack OF space 10 the only thing
which prevents luxury, even In hall

and q small outlay Of money have
produced recently remarkable com
fert in q tiny room.
Boxes, which are really the skele-
ton OF a trunk, have been fitted In size
to the end OF the dressing case, In
the window, and In another waste
space, between the foot Of the bed and
the wall. The smallest box. smart In
Its resemblance to an English hat box,
Is utilized for shoes. slippers and over
shoes.
Every woman knows there 10 never
room enough In the ordinary dresser
for stiff shirt waists. In this room
the larger box in the window furnishes
4 fine opportunity to keep waists free
from dust and in perfect condition
while the third long, but wider. box al
the foot OF the bed Is q place where
dress skirts may be folded away With
out danger Of creasing.
Each has fat top secured by
hinges. This allows It to be pushed
close to the wall, and to be opened
without being dragged out three OF
four inches, az Is necessary with Q
trunk.
To be practical, these chests must
be light in weight. They are neatly
finished, inside and out, and Gun be
lined with q bright-colored sateen OF
cambria, and for the bedroom Gov
cred with cretonne utilized rs seats.

WESTERN cREAMERIES.
Some of Them Carry ON Gigantic
Operations in the Matter OF
HOG Feeding.

The Utah Experiment station ut Lo-
gan has issued bulletin o., which Is an
excellent account Of experiments In
feeding the by-products of the dairy.
Skim milk and whey, fed to hogs and
calves, give excellent results and proved
very satisfactory. These experiments
seem to prove that calves mny be raised
on skim-milk when Il is properly fed.
Whole milk is, OF course, the best feed
for calves, but II costs too much TO feed
it. On the whole, calves gave us good
returns for the skim-milk us did hogs,
md 1t was demonstrated that IT pays
well to feed certain amount Of grain
with the skim-milk, when pork is sold
at four cents pound live weight. The
skim-milk and grain were fed to the
hest advantage in the proportion OF

A UTAH HOG HOUSE.

three pounds of sliim-milk to one pound
a grain. Hogs fed on milk alone
gained very slowly, and did not keep
in good health.
Our readers will get an. idea of the
extent of hog-feeding at western cream
cries, when we say that the feeding
pens are so arranged that ore man
handles from 400 to 600 hogs. AT one
creamery, one man was able to feed
1000 hogs, clean all the pens each day,
and draw the grain feed two miles.
Hogs ut these creameries nre purchased
when weighing from 50 TO 100 pounds.
They are crowded hard so that in 100
days they gain from 100 to 1875 pounds,
The picture gives an idea of the in
terror of one of these creamery pig
geries. In the center aisle is tank
into which the skim-milk and whey
run by gravity from the factory. Grain
Is mixed in this tank with the milk
and whey. Directly underneath It is
large trough running the whole
length of the building. In feeding the
hogs, plugs which are shown in the
engraving are pulled up, leaving open
ings through which the milk and grain
run into the trough where the hogs
may eat it. 4 stream Of water runs
close to and on both sides Of this
trough, and by means Of n rubber mop
the manure in the pens is scraped to
this water. which thus carries II away.
During the growing season, this wa
ter Is used to irrigate the land on which
n crop of hog feed is grown. This
seems to us like remarkable saving
Ct labor, and gives us nm idea Of some
Of the large operations carried on In
the west.-Rurnl New Yorker.

Calves Running with Cows.

At this season of the year, when cat
tie are allowed to run in the barnyards
together, II Is often question whether
II is advisable to allow spring calves
to run in the same yards with their
dams, still giving milk. We never
found any such trouble. Sometimes
the calf will remember the sucking
habit and may try to get near the COW
to suck. But almost invariably the
COW will drive the calf away. Cows at
this season do not give enough milk
to cause pressure on their bags, and
