This gives a base for each rail TO rest
upon little over foot wide. The rails
are tied together every eight or ten feet
by means of bars or cross ties, d, which
are bolted to the bottoms of the rails.
This road has been tried but little. 1t
was laid only month or so before the
ground froze last fall. The first expert
ment of trying it with dirt or gravel
surfacing material showed that it was
not a success, as the wheels of the
wagon would run off the track and cut
into the gravel or dirt. The edges of the
rails being smooth, the wheels would
not come back onto the track readily.
Broken stone and cobble stones were
then used and helped to return the
wheels to the track, these stones being
laid both inside and outside of each rail,
as shown at g.
The steel would probably cost s., 800
per mile. 1t would work much better
with macadam between the tracks and
for a foot or two on either side. This
would bring the cost up to the cost of
macadam. It may be that the rails can
be made in some different form that
will hold the wheels Oh the track, and so
constructed that the wheels will easily
come back on to the track when in a
rut beside the rails, though it is quite
likely that stone viii be necessary to ac-
complish this last. : Orange Judd

last night, the result of which can not
be foretold at this time. He was on

his friends to his boarding house. He

whole Oats For Chickens.

As an all around every day food
there is nothing to equal whole oats.
OF course. the hens wish change, and
certainly they should have it, but if
forced to confine myself to one par
ticular grain food, L should unques-
tionably select oats.
Wheat is often said to be the best
Of oil grains, but thorough test
shows that it is too fattening for q
daily ration, still, for an occasional
meal, wheat is highly relished.
Some complain that oats will cause
swollen crops, but / have yet to see a
single case which L could trace TO
this.
Any food, literally given, with in
sufficient water, grit and exercise, will
sooner or later bring on disorders, but
oats will not cause trouble any sooner
than will other foods. You can hard
ly give too much oats to a flock OF lay
ing hens. aud am satisfied they will
be healthier and lay more eggs than
when fed any other whole grain. As
q change occasionally the oats may be
steamed short time before being fed
but this is not necessary. Farm and

Teaching Colts to Eat Oats.

Wherever il is necessary, as it often
ia, TO work the mare while the colt is
unweaned it is usual to shut up the
colt in box stall aud without ood OF
drink. This is unnecessary cruelty. II
a little clover hay is placed where the
colt can nibble at il, he will soon earn
to eat hay, and il there is box with
few oats in it he will learn to eat
those also. This is the more impor.
tant, because if the mare becomes
heated while working, the milk may be
injurious to the colt. The clover and
oats cannot do him any harm. When
n colt has learned to eat oats he can be
weaned from the dam without any
check to his growth. 1t is best in
most cases that the liking for oats
should be taught before the colt lie
weaned.

A New Rape insect,

During the dry seasons at the Michi.
gan Station rape has been injured
more or less by the bluish-green
plant louise which attacks the cab
bage. One early sown field was en-.
tirely destroyed by this insect and
other fields were so badly affected as
to detract much from their feeding
value.
No direct remedy which can be
proftably used in field culture IL
known. Late sown fields are less
liable to be attacked than those sown
early. In seasons having the usual
amount of rain this insect has given
but little trouble. When tie insect
makes its appearance the best that
can be done is to turn in the sheep at
once, even if the plants are less than
half grown. After the plants have
been eaten down the sheep are turned
off when the rape will start up again,
and If rains or cooler weather occur 1t
may produce good second growth
free from the lice, which can be again
pastured late in the season.
