MUST USE WIDE TIRES.
Passed by the Progressive Leg
isIators of Massachusetts.

The wide-tire law, passed by the Mas
sachusetts legislature through the eff
forts of the Massachusetts division of
the League of American Wheelmen, pro-
vides that on and after January /, 1902,
ut shall be unlawful, except as pro-
vided in section 4 of this act, to use
upon any road, street or way In this
common wealth a draft wagon or cart
having tires of iron or steel, or OF any
substance equally hard, which are less
in width than one and one-half times
the diameter of the axle, measured at
the shoulder thereof; but in no case
shall tire more than four inches in
width be required, and wagons and
carts built with wooden or hollow axles
shall have tires not less in width than
the diameter of the axle. measured at
the shoulder thereof.
This act shall apply to all wagons
and carts the axles of which are two
inches or more in diameter, measured
as aforesaid, and to all stage coaches,
tally-ho coaches, barges and other pas
senger vehicles not built to run on iron
or steel rails and constructed to carry
eight or more persons"
The fourth section states that the
act shall not apply to wagons or other
vehicles owned and used in the state on
January /, 1902. This is the weak
clause in the bill, putting off the best
effects of the law for many years. The
penalty for violation of the law is
fine not exceeding 500.

GROWING DAIRY cows.
II II the Foundation of Profitable
DairyinG and Requires Much
Care and Attention.

The basis of profitable dairying is a
good herd of cows that will produce
largely In proportion to the feed con-
sumed. To get cows of this kind it is
almost essential to grow them. 1t is
true that some producers of city milk
supplies habitually buy cows to come
in fresh, and fatten them off when the
period of lactation has advanced so far
that they cease to be profitable, and
they then buy new cows to take the
places of those sold for beef. This
method seems to be found profitable
by a few men, but, speaking general
ly, the dairyman must grow his cows
If he wants herd that will pay. Good
cows are not in the market to any con-
siderable extent. They need to be
bred for and developed from calfhood
in order to be large producers. No
man has greater inducement to do
this kind of work right than he who
processes to keep the calf in the herd
when it becomes a COW. Dairymen
should habitually breed from their
best cows and should use bulls OF
kind suited to the end in view, and
then they should be developed by care
and feeding along such lines as will
make them large consumers of food,
and especially of coarse forage, and
that will keep them from turning the
food consumed into fat. There is no
danger of the dairyman ever getting
too many of this kind of cows. If he
does happen to grow more than he
can conveniently keep in his own herd,
he can easily find ready market for
them in the city milkman or as family
cows, If he can show purchasers that
they are good producers.-Homestead.

RIpENING THE CREAM.
0aluable Hints Regarding Setting,
Temperature and Proper Treat
ment Up to Cunning.

Setting.-There are many ways OF
setting milk for cream, and the sep
arator is now taking the place of them
all. But l still prefer pans holding
from six to eight quarts filled two
thirds full. Place them on rack in
a good-milk room and give them the
close attention necessary to good but
ter-making. The quality of the but
ter will excel the separator product,
while the quantity will closely ap-
proach it.
Cream Room-FOr ten or twelve
cows, room eight by ten built in the
coolest corner Of milkhouse; ceiled
with pine and having a plank rack at
top of one side for ice, with tank
below for water; must be well light
ed, yet with blinds to darken it at
will; milk rack extending length of
each side, with wide shelf or table be-
fore window for cream pals while
Swimming milk. The room can be
warmed in winter by stove in the
larger room.
Temperature.-Must We varied ac-
cording to condition of milk. When
cows are fresh cream can be raised
at lower temperature than after milk
ing them some time. Milk from differ
ent herds requires different treat
ment, making it hard to give exact
rules; 60 to GO degrees in warm
weather, and in cold weather 62 to IS
degrees, seems to secure the best re-
suits. Careful watching, noting re-
suits from certain temperature, will
soon give the exact degree required.
Treatment Up to Churning. = The
cream should be removed from the
milk as soon as all has risen. If more
than one cream pail or crock is re-
quired to hold churning, equal guam
titles should be skinned into each
and thoroughly stirred each time.
Cream should not stand more than
4s hourse before churning. If not
ripened enough, use starter. If room
is kept at proper temperature, the
cream will be about right. But see
that it is warmed or cooled as needed
to about GO degrees before churning.
A good thermometer Is as necessary
in the dairy as a churn. And let me
say Eternal vigilance is the price OF
success" in the dairy, as in other bust
ness.-Mrs. G. Z. Brainard, in Ohio

Currant Culture condemned.

Currants are easily grown; clay
soil that is rich and moist, not wet, is
10 be preferred-they give best results
In shady situations-hence are excel
lent to set in orchards. Five by four
feet is the distance most generally
used. Clean and thorough cultivation
is very necessary to produce the largest
sized fruit. They are gross feeders and
appreciate liberal dressing. A major
lty of growers use yard manure. Re-
move all old canes and weak shoots.
Mulching with either coarse material
or the dust mulch Is quite necessary,
during the hot season particularly.
Insects and diseases, while compare
lively easy to check, absolutely require
nttention.-Prairie Farmer.

not be planted too closely together.
When evergreens crowd each other the
crowded portion is quite sure to die
out, leaving open spaces for the wind to
blow through. In setting out wind
break, therefore, put the trees far
enough apart 30 that when they be-
come OF average size they will form
compact screen In setting out small
trees one is always in danger of setting
them too near together. whether they
be fruit trees or ornamentals. The Ill
innate size Of the tree must always be
kept In mind when setting it out. 1t is
asserted by those who have had eX-
perience that double row OF ever
greens do not afford so good protec-
ton from the wind as single row that
has grown up into compact hedge,
since the double rows so shade some Of
the trees that they do not grow well.
In transplanting evergreens it is i'm
portant to keep the roots from becom-
ing dry and to give plenty of moisture
after setting. When the roots Of an
evergreen get thoroughly dried out it's
chances for life are very small. indeed.

Al an Effective Wfndbresk and a
Real Ornament to the Farm
They Have No Equal.

In planting evergreens for wind
break, it is well to remember that the
best results are obtained when the
trees are closely branched clear to the
ground, thus giving an upward curv-
ing surface that seems to turn the wind
upward, giving protection to building
even taller than the row of trees. This
idea is shown in the cut. the dotted line.

A. position oviposting in Sits: B, tn
eggs; D. arranged as at C. Old SCARED
punctures are shown at E.
gust and September, 1t appears in each
case that the trees were grown at tina,
time in weeds and grass, cultivation
having been suspended for one cause
or another, and the orchard weeds al
lowed to grow unchecked. Inquiry
from the same reporters as to the
amount of injury in orchards where cul.
tivation was not thus suspended shows
in such an almost entire immunity from
the work of the pest. The inference is
too plain to need argument. Clean cul-
ture during the late summer. to keep
the ground free from. the weeds on
which the young hoppers feed. will
protect the young orchard from attack.
When the trees are already badly
punctured the only thing that can be
done is to cultivate generously the COM
ing season, to keep the injured trees in
the best of thrift and so assist them
in outgrowing the injury. 1t has been
suggested by some that the injured
branches should be pruned out and
burned, thus reducing the number of
the pests the next season, but if such
plan were to be put in practice 1t
would result in many cases In the re-
moval of entire trees, no part of the
small tree being exempt from attack.
The eggs which are laid in August in
the wounds in the bark hatch the next
May or June, and 1t is suggested that
at the time when observation shows
the insects to be emerging it will be
possible to destroy most of the tender
young by spray of kerosene emul-
sion at moderate strength. So much
reliance may be placed upon clean Gull
ture, however, that this spraying isnot
considered necessary, though a prac-
teal method of destruction if done at
the right time.
