rises and falls are probably rather
favorable than otherwise to ease the
draft Of the horse.
Roads should be from Is feet
wide-which allows the easy pass
age of two vehicles-to 80 to so feet
near important cities and towns.
The road surface should be just
convex enough to readily throw off
the water. A very moderate amount
is sufficient when a good surface is
to be avoided, as the traffic will keep
in the middle of the road, wearing
ruts which will retain the water,
softening up the surface, as it does
and will with our dirt roads. |
would advocate a f1atter surface, so
the traffic will be more evenly dis
tributed.
The side bitches should be deep
enough to thoroughly drain the
foundation of the road. A thorough
drainage of the subsoil is of the
greatest importance, and it is eco
nomical in the end to go to con-
siderable expense to secure it, when
necessary. Some roads are left for
traffic to settle, but a steam roller
is far better, saving horse feet and
vehicles. When a roller is used, it
should be passed over the road TIL
therei is no motion among the stones.
After the roller has passed over,
any hollows must be filled up with
small materials.-L o. Rambo, at
Kansas Farmers Institute.

Construction Of Roads.

A road should be as short as pos
sible between two points connected,
but straightness must often be sac
rificed to avoid difficulties and ex-
pense and to secure good gradients
The grade should be as easy as pos
sible. A rule should he adopted
that none should be sleeper than
the maximum selected.
On level macadamized road the
horse exerts force equal to one
thirtieth of the load. But in going
up hill the horse has to lift the load i,
and the additional force to be put
forth on this account is very nearly
equal to the load drawn divided by
the rate of the gradient. Thus, on
a grade of one in thirty, the force
spent in lifting is one-thirtieth of
the load, and in ascending a horse
has to exert twice the force required
to draw the load on a level In
descending the same grade the
vehicle, when once started, would
Just move of itself without pressing
the horse.
A horse can exert without diff
Guilty twice his usual force for a
while without sensible elimination
of speed, and can trot freely down
them. Telford used one in thirty
mostly, and it was generally adopt
ed, but one to forty has been advo-
Gated.
All unnecessary rises and falls
should be avoided, but a dead level
should be guarded against ON ac-
count of the humidity of the soil
in such cases, Under these circum-
stances one in 100 and one in 150
are as fiat as desirable. Such slight

For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers,
Of West Main Street, Canton, N. Y, suffered
from the Undesirable toftures Of intlam-
matory rheumatism.
Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what such shter-
ing is.
Those who have never felt the pangs OF
this ailrnent have not the remotest idea OF
its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
to cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated a remedy which successfully
copes with 1t.
The many cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that tact.
One of the striking examples Is Mrs.
Rogers experience.
In speaking of it to reporter she said:
"Thirteen years ago was attacked with
inf1ammatory rheumatism and complica-
ton Of diseases.
~ cannot begin to describe my sufferings
during that time.
"You can Judge somewhat Of what
endured, when you look at these hands,"
They were distorted, twisted and swollen.
"My foot, too, is so much oct OF shape
that the big toe lays across the others, the
end touching the little toe.
Notwithstanding am sixty-five years
Old, have pleasant home and other COM
forts. life to me was far from enjoyable, for
ali other things pale into insignificance when
you are without good health.

Permitting a COW to fail in her
milk for want of a suitable food is
bad management; even if she can be
restored to her full flow, which is
doubtful, it takes more feed to do
it than would have been required to
keep her in good milking trim from
first to last. Cows to do their best
must be pushed with feed of the
proper kind, and the more the bet
ter. You can't get milk without
feed any more than you can get
meal without corn. To get the best
work from a mill it must be run to
its full capacity-no corn in the
hopper, no meal in the spout. So
it is with the cows; no feed, no milk
little feed, little milk plenty of good
feed and proper care, plenty of milk
for a long time.-Rural World.

Git Edged Butter.

The dairyman who can produce
gilt-edge butter, the genuine article,
and do it with uniformity, is not
dependent upon market values for
his product, for he can get sc or lOc
a pound above market rates right
along without any trouble. In fact,
there are those who get double mar
ket rates every week in the year.
When we can secure SOC to 60c per
pound for butter by catering to a
prime trade with a prime grade of
goods we stand a good chance of
making dollar.
Why not get posted, acquire ex-
perience and make something extra
fine? There is always plenty of
room at the top. The trouble with
dairying in general to-day is that
too much cream is annually made
into fat no better than so much
soap grease There is too much poor
butter in the market. This democrat
ICES prices and profits to the trade
in general.-Practical Dairyman,

For good many years farmers
have believed wood ashes to be an
excellent application for potatoes.
Scientific men held the same opin-
ion. Within a short time the Rhode
Island experiment station has reach
ed a different conclusion. 1t is said
that potatoes have sometimes pro-
duced slightly greater total yield
from lining, and usually much
greater percentage of merchantable
tubers; but owing to the fact that
wood ashes and water or air-slaked
lime (not gypsum or land plaster)
increase the virulence of the potato
scab to serious degree, lime in
these forms, if used at all on potato
fields, should be applied in small
quantities, seldom exceeding half q
ton per acre. The seed tubers should
also be treated with corrosive sub
Innate solution, or with formalin,
the new remedy tried successfully
by the Indiana experiment station
in 1896" The advice is, On account
of the tendency OF lime to increase
the virulence of potato scab, not to
apply it to potato ground, and also
not to apply wood ashes on account
of the lime they contain. Wood
ashes contain potash in a valuable

FOR THE FARMER.


Many fail to make the most out
of the garden by failing to keep the
ground occupied all through the
growing season, says N. J. Shepherd
in Farmers Voice. Many take con-
siderable painssto fave@a good early
garden, but as fast as these mature
and are used the-weeds are allowed
to take possession,
With all of the early crops es-
pecially it is easily possible to grow
two good crops in one seasonssand
with little planning this may be
done with a number of later ones.
And it is certainly less drain on
the available fertility to grow a
crop of some kind of vegetables than
to grow a crop of weeds One is
profitable, the other is not. On ev-
cry farm there should be supply
of vegetables all through the grow
ing season, and plenty to store for
Winter. .
Peas are about the only garden
vegetable that does not thrive well
in Summer, and beans will take
their place. But with nearly or
quite all the others it is possible to
have supply all through the sea-
son, commencing with lettuce, as
paragus, onions, spinach and rad
ishes in the Spring and finishing
up with sweet corn, tomatoes, celery
and corn6eld beans in the Fall,
with cabbage, potatoes, turnips,
celery, beets, parsnips, carrots and
onions at least to store away and
use during the Winter.
But to do this too much Deepen
dence must not be placed upon the
first planting. Plant as often as
may be necessary to keep up a good
supply. Some varieties are best for
the early planting, while others are
best planted later. Plant so that
as fast as one crop natures another
may be ready to take its place. The
garden is nearly always the richest
part of the yard, and it should be
made to yield all it will,
And this will not only lessen the
cost of living, but add greatly to
the enjoyment of it. Better to have
little surplus to spare to those
who have to buy than to be obliged
to buy or go without yourself. There
are few fruits or vegetables that the
average farmer can buy as cheaply
as he can grow, while with the ma
jority depending on buying is equiv
alent to going without.
