about $500 cheese factories and cream
cries. To each one of these every morn
ing there comes an average of say 40
farmers with their milk Now that
number of factories or creameries rep
resents 100, 600 farmers who certainly
ought to be interested in the improve
ment of roads from business stand
point. In all kinds Of weather, every
morning in the year, rain or shine, good
roads or bad roads, must they take their
milk distance varying from half u
mile to five miles to the factory and
haul their skimmilk back over the same
route. Dairy farmers as rule are the
most enterprising and progressive Of
any class of farmers. Does not their own
fortune as we'll as good name require
that they get together at every cheese
factory and creamery and unite cooper
atively for an intelligent building of
good roads?"
Better means of communication are
becoming more and more essential, not
alone to dairymen, but to all farmers
alike. Farmers should be made less de-
pendent upon the weather. Agriculture
in the United States has developed to a
point where time is valuable in this
pursuit, and it should be made possible
for farmers to get to town after rain
when the land is still too wet for farm
work. Many of them would avail them
selves of this opportunity if they had it.
But they cannot themselves undertake
the construction of good roads upon all
main lines of travel leading to market
towns No community of farmers could
burden itself with their cost.
The city population is interested in
the improvement of country roads and
should contribute to its expense through
the medium of state aid. This is being
done in Massachusetts, in New Jersey
and in Connecticut. New York and
Pennsylvania are about to introduce a
similar system. BY the state aid system
the expense Of country roads is divided
between the state which pays from one
third to one half of their cost, the own
ers of the adjoining property, who pay
about one-tenth, and the county.
State and county taxes being levied
upon every taxpayer III proportion 70
his wealth, the state aid system makes
it possible to obtain contributions to the
cost of good roads from railroad, insur-
ance, street railway and telegraph COM
panies and from the wealthy citizens in
the cities. thus relieving the farmer Of a
considerable burden which would fall
entirely upon him if all roadbuilding
was to be done by the township officers,
through township taxes. If the farmer
wants good roads, and we know that he
wants them, he should insist upon state
aid in their construction.

Experience With a stave silo.


At convention of Indiana farmers
an Indianapolis man gave his experience
with stave silo, which he much pre-
ferred to the square. He built the round
one 10 feet inches in diameter 10 feet
high, holding about 25 tons. The earth
excavated for foundation he threw in
side, making the bottom concave, with a
four inch drop to center. The foundation
was laid with bricks in a mortar of &C.
ment and lime. He doweled five slaves
together and set them up, bracing them,
and then added stave at a time, using
half of -four barrel slaves as cleats to
hold the slaves temporarily in posi-
ton. Six iron hoops one -eighth by 3
inches had bolts at each end, which
passed through an upright oak scantling
by inches, and, being provided with
nuts. could be frightened at will The
slaves are cemented inside and out on
the foundation, making it alright A
round single roof protects it against
rain. Holes are cut between the hoops
for doors, and these are covered with
tar paper before filling. The cost was a
little over $50, slaves costing $25 per
1000. Cedar slaves would cost twice as
much. In distributing the ensilage, he
uses conductor made of bags which
reaches to the bottom and can be moved
round by boy. He covers with boards
and tar paper.
Professor Smith of Michigan said he
had come tU the conclusion not to cover
at all.

Overheating Manure.

"Fire fanging" of manure is destruc-
tive, and although it is well known
occurrence in manure heaps some farm
ers do not try to prevent or suppress it,
AS the Philadelphia Record explains, it
is simply overheating of the manure
due to rapid decomposition, large pro-
portion of the ammonia being liberated
and lost. When fire fanging occurs,
drive crowbar into the heap in several
places and pour in cold water. What is
better, wet the manure and turn the
heap over, adding dry earth and plaster,
placing the coarse portions of the manure
III the center. Cold water absorbs am
monia and prevents its escape, and un-
less it is used much of the volatile am
monia will escape while the manure is
being handled. The heap should not be
kept wet, however, but slightly damp,
which will promote decomposition, but
overheating may always be controlled
by cold water

BAD WEATHER ROADS
NEED OF HIGHWAYS THAT ARE AL
WAYS SMOOTH AND HARD.

So Long the Farmer Stays at Home
Roads Don't Bother Him When He
Goes to Market His Trouble Begins
State Aid In Road Construction.
Perhaps never does the need of good
roads manifest itself so strongly in a
community of farmers as where they
attempt to carry on cooperative en-
terprise such as creamery or a cheese
factory. So long as the farmer remains
at home on his own land it makes no
difference to him whether his roads be
smooth as asphalt or rough and stony
as a mountain pass, or whether they be
hard and level like the English high
ways of macadam or soft and sticky like
the ground about the pigsty, says Cy-
cling Gazette. 1t is only when it comes
to going to town, especially if it be
with load of crops, that the condition
of the highway cuts any figure. And it
becomes more important than ever
where farmers are obliged to drive to IA
creamery each day in the year with
their milk.
In most of the states dairying has
only OF late become great industry,
but its continued growth calls more
loudly than ever for the construction of
roads which will enable the creamery
patrons to deliver their milk without
wearing out their horses whenever the
weather takes an unfavorable turn.
Wet weather roads are needed here
and dairying can never be complete
success without them. Ex-Governor
William d. Hoard, the president of the
National Dairy union. is a strong advo-
cate of good roads. His experience has
taught him how essential they are to
dairy farmers. AS vice president of the
Wisconsin League For Good Roads Mr.
Hoard has most forcibly stated the case
from the dairymans standpoint.
Modern dairying," says Governor
Hoard sis usually grouped around the
creamery and the cheese factory. On
good roads, where from one to two tons
of milk can be hauled to the factory
with ease and safety, the cost is natural
ly lower than where a much less guam
tity can be hauled. 1t follows, then, that
the condition of the roads is direct
living factor in the cost of hauling
A limited calculation would give you, l
think, a new view of the situation.

Kansas Model Town.

The latest Kansas freak is the report
OF cursory census taken of Lost Springs
and Ramona, two towns in Marion coun-
ty, with 200 population each. There is
not vacant house in either place, not
an idle man or boy, not tippler and not
a dog. The claim is made that there
never has been a drop of Intoxicating
liquor sold in either of these towns. A
crusade against the use of tobacco will
be the next move by the women of Ra-
nona.-St. Louis Republic.

SERIOUS CHARGES.

James Byrne and John Tuffey were
arrested yesterday on warrants issued
by Alderman Donovan. They are
charged with arson, burglary and lar
ceny. Constable John c. Moran
brought the lads before the alderman
for hearing. William Corbett, of
305 Stone avenue, is the prosecutor.
He testified that on the morning of
July II last, when he opened his place
he found that the floor, wainscotnS
and sewing machine had been ablaze.
but the flames went out. He investi-
gated further and ascertained that
clock, liquors. cigars and glasses We're
missing. Mrs. Messitt and Mrs. De
Vane. who reside in the dwelling ad-
joining Corbetts saloon, told him that
at o'clock Sunday morning they
were aroused by noises. Looking out
their windows they saw Tuffey enter
n side window and hand to Byrne the
goods, Corbett states are missing.
At the hearing the women's testt-
mnry corroborated the statements
they made to the prosecutor. The de-
PENDANTS put them through a severe
examination, but they were positive
they were the burglars Neither of the
women knew anything concerning tho
setting of the building afire.
The alderman held Tuffey and Byrne
in $500 bail each on the burglary charge
and $500 each on the charge of lar
ceny 1t not being in his power to ac-
cept bail on the more serious charge
of arson, they were committed to the
county Jail. Bail was furnished for
Byrne on the two charges. This morn
ing bail will be given in court for the
latter charge. Mr.. Corbett, who ap-
peared against Tuffey last night, had
him arrested a month ago, alleging
that he broke into his saloon.
