SIMPLE FEED RACK.
Handy Device when Calves and
Lambs Have the Run OF IL
Small Lot or Yard.

1t is the little things that make farm
life a pleasure, and when rightly en-
ployed also profitable, Therefore,
when lambs and calves have the run
of a small yard or lot near the barn all
to themselves, as during summer and
fall they often do, nothing is more prac-
teal than setting up for them feed
rack such as is exhibited herewith in
the illustration.
AS can be seer it 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
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
fed with impunity. Why? Because it

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

It 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 prlnciPaltes of
southeastern Europe. The early settle
ments in the United States were mainly
along the banks of navigable water 5,
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. II 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 a road, and we Will
realize much more fully in n 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 produce
;ions and more perfect facilities At
home for their preparation. Success
full competition in the great markets
of the world means that all classes at
home must enjoy prosperity and de-
velOp conditions of the greatest pOssi-
hle efficiency, ana, to accomplish this,
nothing is mere important than the
best means of transportation and per-
feet intercommunication among all
sections OF the country over firm high
ways.-Good Roads.

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly TOWARD
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of a crossine
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di
rectly in front of cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course the ca" haC
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the Devil
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped tC
the side of the track and grabbed the mar
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. TheI
he gave him another ferocious Jerk TO get
HIM out of the way of an express wagon
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up INTO his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open whcr
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perb
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
"You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for it.'-Chicago Times-Herald.

three pounds of sllim-milk to one pound
Of 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 one 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 at these creameries are purchased
when weighing from so 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-milli and whey
run by gravity from the factory. Gain
is mixed in this tank with the milk
and whey. Directly underneath it is
a 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 gra n
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 a rubber mop
the manure in the pens is scraped to
this water which thus carries it away.
During the growing season, this wa
ter is used to irrigate the land on which
crop of hog feed is grown. This
seems to us like a remarkable saving
cf labor, and gives us an idea of some
of the large operations carried on in
the west.-Rural New Yorker.

WESTERN CREAMERIES.
Some of Them Garry On Gigantic
Operations In the Matter of
Hog Feeding.

The Utah Experiment station at Lo-
gan has ;saued bulletin 81, which is an
excellent account of experiments in
feeding the by-Products of the dairy.
Skim milk and whey, fed to hogs and
calves, gave excellent results and proved
very satisfactory. These experiments
seem to prove that calves may be raised
on skim-mik when it is properly fed.
Whole milk is, of course. the best feed
for calves, but it costs too much TO feed
it On the whole. calves gave as good
returns for the skim-milk as did hogs
and it was demonstrated that t pays
we'll to feed certain amount of grain
with the skim-milk, when pork is sold
at four cents pound live weight. The

hest advantage in the proportion OF

An Artistic Landsman Gets Some
Pointers from the Jolly sea
Royers.

The sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling OF superiority with
which he regards the untarred landlubber.
Some of the noncombatants who sailed the
gulf and the Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and
others gained painful experience before they
got their sea legs.
An artist who boarded grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was day from port
and decided to wash it. He filled bucket
with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat
pockets. He did SO, and pulled out-hls gold
watch.
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
he rebuied them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the
proper way to restore the coat to its normal
color was to tie a line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours. The artist
did so.
When he went below deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding
the coat made fast a ragged piece OF white
duck and threw it overheard.
When the owner of the coat pulled in his
line he was the angriest man on the tug.
And he didn't know just how to accept a
deck hands glibly made explanation, which
was that a shark had seized the coat, until
the garment was restored to HMM. Y.

FAULTY CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing Can lie Expected of n Msc-
adam Roadway That Is With
out Solid Foundation.

The requisites of macadam road con-
structon--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 a Greenville, n. j., man in the
Jersey City Journal. in describing a
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 q layer of stone nine inches
deep was laid. The laborers then spread
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
pleted.
- predicto 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 exposisg the top layer. Ny
prediction was verified during the
spring following. At the places VIII re
formed deep holes, and great stretches
of the roadway where the filling
washed away were as rough as nut
meg crater.
''IraiIic added to the destruction, and
| In order to maintain the semblance of
| E pavement the street and water com
| missioners were compelled to spend 3d.
GO for repairs. A new layer of crushed
stone and screenings restored the pave
| h.ent to smooth condition, but last
| spring the road was in even worse con
dition than before. Another contract
for repairs was awarded and a can-
tractor Is now at work endeavoring to
create road out OF what will never rs
a road unless dIm foundation of Tel
ford is laid u'ssier the crashed stoTse."
