USE OF ROAD MACHINES,
Except In Grading and Smoothing They
Should BE SEaringly Employed.

Except In Grading and Smoothing They
Should BE SIaringly Employed.
Road machines are adapted to the
weak of the quick and economical re-
mOval of earth from the sides to the
middle of roads, and they are excellent
for smoothing up rutted road pro-
vlded the blade of the machine is in
clined backward instead of forward, as
i'll common use. Twill only speak of the
former use, writes G. E. Pettee of the
New Hampshire agricultural expert
ment station. If it is necessary to re-
move earth to the center from the sides,
the road machine may be profitably
used, but it is not always desirable to
do this to Il road A road surface should
be hard, smooth and properly shaped.
Months OF travel are frequently neces-
sary TO consolidate the material on a
road surface. This should not be ruth
lessly torn up or covered with sods and
sand each year for the sake of making
people think that something is being
done. In ordinary cases, outside of vii.
lagos, we cannot obtain grade in any
way so cheaply or well as by the en-
ployment of a road machine, but when
piece of road is once taken in hand a
thorough job should be done.
The road should be properly shaped
clear to the side bitches and then COW
cred with sufficient good gravel to
smooth over and bind together the sods,
sand, stones, etc, brought in from the
bitches
In any county town raising an aver
age of $50 or more per mile do not use
aroad machine upon main thorough
fare without following with the cart to
cover sods, stones, etc, with good sur
facing material. If the entire road can
not be completed in one year, do the
worst places first, especially the hills,
rounding them up and obtaining as
hard il surface as possible. Leave the
completion of the work for the follow
ing year. Thereafter, with the occa-
sional exception of repairing damages by
freshets, keep the road machine largely
at home, doing enough each year with
the cart, or simply with the shovel, to
hold the road where it has been placed.
On level or nearly level ground this
work will be found very slight, provided
only good surfaCing material is avail
able and the traffic is not of the largest
amount Or heaviest kind. The constant
passage of stone and other heavy teams
Is very trying even to good road.
Hills, particularly steep ones, require
constant attention and expenditure:
hence strong argument in fat&r of per-
manently cutting down grades.

NEW JERSEY ROAD LAWS.


Farmers Pleased With t., Workings of
the State Aid Law.
Mr.. E. G.. Harrison, special agent and
road expert of the Unite tltes office
of road inquiry, delivered al address
before the recent assembly tt the
League of American Wheel" the
subject, "What the New I'M
ers Think of State Aid" l. .d.Ir IS
follows:
1.-The 1900 miles of free turnpikes,
or permanent roads, as they are now
called in the New Jersey state aid act,
speak for themselves and are lasting
monuments of the New Jersey farmers
efforts to advance their material inter
ests and progress i'll civilization. The
state pays one third of the cost the pc
titioners being owners of one third of
the lineal feet fronting on the road, pay
10 per cent, and the county in which
the road to be improved is located the
balance. The first annual appropriation
by the state was $50, 600 and then SIS,
600. This was followed by 800, 900,
and this year they are asking for $500, =
coo. If this is granted, being supple
mented by two-thirds more from the
counties and local districts, it will make
the sum to be expended next year 5000, =
600, which will give New Jersey 300
miles of road i'll the year. This shows
what the New Jersey farmers think of
the state aid act
LET me give you some of the benefits
derived from good roads constructed un-
der this act:
First. 1.-THE increased loads hauled
to market. Before the construction of
good roads the truck market wagons
carried from 40 to 80 baskets drawn by
two horses. These are now substituted
by wagons carrying from 100 to 1870
baskets drawn by the same number Of
horses. Formerly ton was considered
Il full load for two horses; now three
and four tons are dawn by two horses
on these improved roads.
Second. The ease and comfort in
carriage riding for business as we'll as
pleasure on these roads. This makes a
demand for real estate for subur ban res
licences.
third More regular attendance at
schools, making it practicable to consol-
idate smaller schools with larger ones
and establishing higher graded schools
i'll the rural districts
Fourth. lectures, con-
certs and entertainments in the country,
which will sustain and increase the So
cial advantages.
"Fifth. -Increase of mail facilities
and rural free delivery rendered prac-
ticable.
Sixth. The free distribution and
collection Of books of the state library
by wagon service in rural districts as
recommended by the governor
"Seventh.-T general prosperity,
contentedness and happiness of the peo-
pie residing in sections having systems
of permanent roads.
Eighth. Applications are now on
file i'll the New Jersey state commits
sioner of roads office for over 600 miles
of road awaiting state appropriations "

A Michigan farmer who gives prefer
ence to listing corn, writing to Farm,
Field and Fireside, says:
Listing corn, in my opinion, is far
superior to planting by the old way,
either with hoe or planter, for many
reasons. One advantage in listing corn
is, it is unnecessary to first pillow, then
harrow the ground, as is the old Gus
tom. You can enter upon an oat or
wheat stubble with lister, and the
whole work is completed by once going
over the field.
Another advantage that listing corn
has over "the old way" is, it is put SC
deep in the ground it is not SO easily
dried out or the dry weather does not
affect it so readily. Again, in listing
corn it is left in shallow trenches 50
that when the operation of cultivating
goes on the fresh, moist soil is thrown
toward and around the corn, greatly
improving its growth.

Facts For Farmers.

The supervisor of roads in the state of
New York officially assures the farmers
that it costs them half as much to haul
their produce three miles by wagon as
they pay the railroads to haul it 500
miles. With system of good macadam
roads, he says, the cost of the short haul
could be reduced 80 per cent, thus re-
ducing the whole cost of transporta-
ton from the farm to the consumer by
one-siXth. 1t is only needful to get
these facts and figures firmly planted i'll
the agricultural mind to insure an ac-
tive interest i'll roadbuilding all over the
United States. Washington Post.

BARNARD MANURE
An Estimate of It's Value and Inhuenc
UpOn the Soil.

An Estimate of It's Value and Influence
Upon the soil.
In answer TO 4 correspondent who
states that his experience leads him to
infer that manure, straw, ETC., has a
fertllt9ing value not yet specifically
measured and that any valuation based
upon its content of nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid is misleading The
Country Gentleman replies: 1t may be
said that fertilizers are unquestionably
of great value on account of their i'm
mediate availability and ease of appli-
cation and as substitute for yard man
ure when this is not available. But the
ancient dictum that "the feeding of
animals is the most important part of
agriculture surely obtains now as
much as it ever did, and that these
kinds of artificial plant food are SO
easily obtainable and applicable to the
crops in nowise invalidates the old
practice of feeding animals for the ma
nure made, which will never become
obsolete
We have learned very much of late
as to that most interesting and general
ly useful class of organisms commonly
called germs or microbes, and especially
as regards that known as the nitrogen
germ, existing i'll all fertile-indeed, in
all-soils. For as to the latter it may
be said, on the strength of the belief of
the first scientists, that even the poorest
kinds of soil contain enormous quaint
ties, inert though they may be, of nitro
gen and need only the incubation of
this invaluable germ to become avail
able Now this incubation is performed
by the application of manure to the
land and the addition of lime, which
rapidly becomes carbonated, and thus
available for an incalculable increase III
the number of these germs And this,
it is believed, is accomplished also
through the aid of carbonaceous mat
tiers, resulting from their decomposition
in the soil.
OF course there are very few sensi BILE
farmers who think that the product or
manure is secondary matter as COM
pared with the use of fertilizers, unless
i'll some special lines of culture i'll which
the supply of manure is not available,
because live stock Is not kept on such
farms. Generally we think the idea is
to make and use all the manure posi-
BILE, and then assist it with such and SO
much fertilizers as may be found to
make a profit in the increased yields.
The prevailing idea that it pays to pro-
cure all the straw possible, to save all
and turn it into manure by feeding as
much of it as possible with any of the
purchased foods and use the remainder
as litter, and thus apply us much as
may be possible to the land, is in no
way weakened because fertilizers are so
easily procured, if only the money re-
quired is available. In fact, we must
think still that the homemade manure
should come first, and then the use of
fertilizers of such kinds and in such
quantities as the farmer will be sure cal
be used with profit

About a Third Candidate.

A "volce" up in Lamoile county irf1ict.
ed the following on the Free Press, and it
has been copied in some of the state pa
pers:
1.-The governor question is upon us al
ready, and l believe l represent the senti-
ment in this section Of the state when l say
that no enthusiasm fer either of the two
men who are announced as aspirants is, or
is likely TO be-, aroused. If a third man,
not naming himself as a candidate for the
governors chair, but callt d by the people
thems elves, because OF real worth, genuine
fitness, and because OF bis touch with COM
mon everyday life as it is found in the
farmhouse Of our state, could be brought
forward, there is little doubt but that the
St. Albans and Bennington gentlemen
would have little show in La,noille county.
The call here is, give US new man who,
by his own worth and personal qualifca-
tions, will draw to his support cordial re-
sponse. Let's draw no ice carts through
the state in the coming September"
This is pretty sentiment but has sever
al elements of weakness. In these degen-
crate days The people are not in the habit
of suspending their usual vocations and
uniting in spontaneous uprising in behalf
of any office. And then, too, we have a
''larmer governor in office now, and some
new arguments in the coming campaign
would be decidedly refreshing. 1t is moi
best in politics to work even good thing
too threadbare. However, if there is 8
man OF worth ard personal qualifications
up in Lamoille county who will draw tc
his support cordial response" trot hin
out; the voters of the state would like tt
turn their eyeglasses on him.
