Regularity in Milking.

Regularity in time of milking is nee
essary. The dairy cow is good time
keeper, and knows very well when milk
ing time comes. If she is neglected and
allowed to go far beyond the regular
time, she begins to worry and loss fol-
lows. There are some cows that GER
tain mixers can never get clean. They
milk out all that flows readily, strip
around once or twice, and call her fin.
ished. With some COWS this will do.
but with others the mixer must reach
we'll up on the udder, and work it with
a sort of kheading process. A little
manipulation of this sort will cause
the whole quantity to flow in to the
teats, whereas without it there will be
from gill to pint of the richest milk
left in the udde,' every time, which
means prematurely dry COW.

FEEDING THE CALVES.
Why 1t Is Better to Teach Them to
Drink Cold Milk

Drink Cold Milk.
Patience is one of the virtues in teach
ing little calves to drink, but this is not
all. Calves should be allowed to run
with their mothers for two or three
days. This teaches them to eat and gives
them an appetite that will help the
feeder along in his work. About IL
hours after taking them away from
their mothers offer them little milk.
If they are not inclined to drink very
much let them go ~ hours longer. BY
this time they will have an appetite.
Never get the calf's neck between your
limbs and force it's head into the pail
telling it to drink or drown" but stand
in front of the calf with pail in hand
and when it lowers its head raise the
pail up so as to dip it's nose in the milk.
This will give the calf a taste of the
milk, and in a very short time the milk
will disappear and with it the calf's
appetite.
Always teach the calves to drink new
milk. This can be gradually diluted
with SKINNED milk, and before the
calves are week old clear skinned
milk may take the place of the new.
The same principle holds true in chang
ing from warm milk to cold. Begin
ty warming about seven-eighths of the
allotted quantity and continue warm
Ing one-eighth less each day until only
an eighth is warmed. The change is so
gradual that the calves do not notice
the difference. When the milk is too
hot one day and too cold the next, and
seldom just right, which is 90 degrees
under such circumstances, calves will
do much better if taught to drink cold
milk at once.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Dairy Cows Require Suit.

Some cows have a depraved appetite
which leads them to eat greedily the
soiled straw that has been thrown out
from the horse stable, and to prefer it
to good hay, and also to prefer to drink
from stagnant puddle in the barn
yard, instead Of from the trough Of
water. Our first inquiry in such case
would be to ask if the cows receive salt
regularly and freely. If they do not,
it may arise simply from desire for
salt, but if they do have salt, and still
keep UP the habit, physic them two or
three times at intervals of about three
days, and in the meantime see that they
have no opportunity to indulge in their
filthy habit, and give plenty of good
food.-American Cultivator.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TOLL ROADS MUST CO..

|T' with the Times. ..<.

They Are Completely Out of Harmony
f"' with the Times.
There are localities in which toll
roads exist and are fairly we'll kept,
and where the other roads are exceed
ingly poor. BY comparison, at least,
the toll roads are excellent. In such
cases the wheelmcn are apt to deprecate
agitation looking to the abolition of toll
roads, fearing that everything would
sink to the level of the average, I'M
cared-for country road. They prefer
to retain the existing toll roads, with
their many Objectionable features, to
letting them go and taking the chances
on other roads improved and properly
cared for.
This is perfectly natural. Cycling de-
ponds so much on the character of the
roadways that we cannot afford to let
any fairly good roads become deterior-
ated, and some correspondents tell us
that where turnpike companies have
given up their charters, the roads have
been allowed to go to ruin. Such con-
dition of affairs is all wrong, and in
dicates failure of the people to realize
their own interests and lack of pro-
gressivenessi in this very importantdirec-
ton. Does it not indicate, too, that
wheelnen have not agitated the road
question long enough and thoroughly
enough to arouse popular sentiment
and get public opinion formed inteli-
gently on the subject?
AS soon as the Importance Of having
good highways is once appreciated, and
the people become sensible of the neces-
sity for concerted action, and the CO.
operation of the state, when they get
out Of their ruts and outgrow the notion
that good roads would be only of local
value, and unite in suitable legislation
for their promotion, they will realize
how completely toll roads have had
their day, passed their sphere of use
fulness, and how out of harmony they
are with the times.
The usefulness of toll roads in a limit
ed number of localities constitutes no
argument for nurturing an institution
which was born under very different
conditions from those which now pre-
vail, and which, after failing to move
with the rapid progression of the times,
has fallen into a decline, and in many
places refuses either to meet the re-
quirements of the times or vacate in ia
vor of the public. On the contrary,
it imposes greater responsibility upon
the wheelmen of such sections, as pio-
neers in the good roads movement, to
carry on an agitation that will result in
the improvement of the country roads,
and success in this direction will even
tually wipe out of existence the toll
roads, through the changes that will re-
suit from the construction of modern
tlghways.-L. A. W. Bulletin.

Effect of Rain on Plants.

Rain does plants comparatively little
good until it enters the soil, where it
can be absorbed by their roots. A daily
record of the amount of water. in the
soil would indicate whether the indi-
cations were favorable or otherwise for
certain crops. There is plan for bury
ing specially constructed electrodes in
the soil, in order that by measuring the
resistance to the passage of current
thu ough the soil the amount of mois-
ture can be ascertained. This method
was suggested by the necessity of
grounding thoroughly telephone and
telegraph lines. If the terminals are
not continually in a moist soil the lines
do not work during the dry seasons.
