LESSON OF THE PRESENT.
Absolute Necessity of Good
Country Roads.

1t may be seriously questioned
whether any country that can be
claSsed among the civilized nations Of
the earth can show such poor wagon
roads as the United States, unless it be
Russia and the smaller prIncipalities of
southeastern Europe. The early settle
mcuts in the United States were mainly
along the banks of nayigable water S,
and the steam railway came so soon
after commerce developed between the
growing towns that the roads, which
had in some cases been started, were
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-
relop them. 1t is only within ten years
that America has begun to learn how
much she loses from the present bad
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 al
ready see the losses that have been en-
tailed there By the absence OF anything
that can be called n road, and we will
realize much more fully in a short time
what decent highways mean to a 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-
tOns and more perfect facilities IL
home for their preparation. ~Succcss-
full competition in the great markets
of the world means that all classes at
home must enjoy prosperity and de-
veIop conditions Of the greatest possi-
hIe efficiency, ana, to accomplish this, |

SIMPLE FEED RACK.

Small Lot or Yard.

1t is the little things that make farm
life pleasure, and when rightly en-

when lambs and calves have the run
of small yard or lot near the barn all

fall they often do, nothing is more prac-

rack such as is exhibited herewith in
the illustration.
AS can be seen, it is cheap, very sim

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
ground wherever it is desirable to set up
the rack, as is represented
Thus arranged, hay, grass, corn fod-
der or any other material of a similar
nature can be placed in the rack and

Calves Running with Cows.

At this season of the year, when cat
tie are allowed to run in the barnyards
together, it is often question whether
it 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
six-months-old calf is more apt if
it tries to suckle to hurt the COW than
to relieve her. 1t is well, however,
to watch the COW and calf together.
The COW will pretty plainly show that
she remembers her offspring. but evi-

Our readers will get an idea of the
extent Of hog-fecGing at western cream

pens are so arranged that one man

Hogs at these creamCrics are purchased

They are crowded hard so that in 100

hogs, plugs which are shown in the

run into the trough where the hogs
may eat it. A stream of water runs
close to and on both sides of this
trough, and by means of rubber mop
the manure in the pens is scraped to
this water. which thus carries it away
