Expensive Roads.

For some years the term 'good roads" has been a name 10 conjure with, and in many towns expensive roads have been constructed with state aid and un- der state supervision, where, with prop or and available methods and material. fully adequate and perfectly satisfactory roads could have been built town.w wise at less than one-third the cost of the road built by state aid. Former meth ods of road making, supplemented by Q heavy road roller owned by the town and administered with intelligence and foresight, would. in many of our Con- necticut towns. have trebled the mileage of good roads at less expense than has been incurred under the present system of state aid.-C.

The director of the Montana EXper-
iment station says: To profitably pro-
duce pork the farmer must pasture
swine, both old and young. This ne
cessitates a pig-tight pasture fence.
OF materials employed for fence con-
etruction lumber is perhaps the best.
However, it is expensive in its first
cost and subsequent maintenance, and
it's tendency to collect snowdrifts
makes it Objectionable. Wire fences
are cheaper and more durable. We
have tried swine fences built OF thick
set barb wire, wire three inches apart
tightly stretched, stapled TO posts l6
feet apart, with stakes between posts
four feet apart. 1t would seem that
such fence would turn the pigs, but
it did not. The cuts and scratches
caused by the wires heal rapidly on
swine, and the little fellows would
wriggle through, Indifferent to the
barbs. Later we have used a fence
made of smooth wire, three different
numbers, woven into a close mesh
fence.
On the college farm at Ames, Iowa,
oats and barley are grown together
for the use of the COWS. Last year the
yield was reported at 20 bushels per
acre. There are so many other feeds
that are used in the dairy that the
Americans have never given barley
much attention.

How n Herd IL Built I'm.

Prof. F. Z. Emery, of the North
Carolina Agricultural college, thus
tells how a herd of mixers was built
up. The work is based on record keep
ing. He says:
When this record began in 1891, the
experiment station had four cows in
its stable, one registered Jersey, one
unregistered and one grade, the fourth
belonged to the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college. The registered cow
was stripping and the unregistered one
had been milking about three months,
having come in milk prematurely by
an injury which resulted in permanent
lameness. This reference is also the
one by which may be found the method
of making the record. 1t is simple
and easy. The wonder is any farmer
will keep a COW and feed and care for
her by the year without knowing
whether it pays, when by simply keep
ing a record he would be sure. and
where several cows are kept this would
point out the profitable cows.
How much milk should cow give in
order to be classed as profit maker?
Evidently the amount depends on the
cost of feed and value OF milk. A
number Of years ago the New York
state dairy commissioner estimated
from a large mass of data which came
to his Office that the average yield
from New York cows was not above
5000 hounds The United States CEN
sus figures show that North Carolina
cows produced 2136.5 pounds of milk
each in 1879 and New York COWS 39S7.G
pounds. Later statistics gathered in
New York show gain for New York
cows: ....
The first years record here showed
that of seven cows kept and MIXED
long enough to publish their records
four yielded above 5000 and one of
these about 1000 pounds of milk dur
ing that year, 1891.
In 1892 5000 for a grade and 1000
for pure but unregistered Jersey
were the highest yields and neither OF
these was in the list above 3,O00
pounds in 1891. Late in this yea: a
heifer began TO yield milk which has
developed into the deepest mixer OF
the herd.
In 1898 there were eight cows yield
ing above 1900 pounds, and only one
of these to reach that limit in previous
years was of the liet and she barely

a druggist in St. Louis advertised
for "a thin drug clerk, with a mus
tache." On being asked why he re-
quired these extraordinary qualitica-

in it. OF the other seven one yielded
nearly and two above 1000 pounds. ono
5,213 pounds and another, No. 8, the
second highest yielding COW, reach g..
COZ pounds.
In this years record nine cows out
Of eleven yielded above $500 pounds
and one of these other two was a
months, but yielded l,166 pounds in
that time. Five records were close to
1000 pounds, one 1906, one 5,lS6 and
one as high as 6,1T5.2. The ten cows
averaged 4,1C25 pounds, and their but
ter yield averaged 246.7 pounds.
In 1895 the heller Spot and COW NO.
5 were the only ones of fourteen on
record to approximate 1000 pounds OF
milk. The third highest was COW No,
with 3,74l pounds of milk These
three at IS per cent butter fat yielded
23SS, 1895 and 203.4 pounds OF but
ter; or, at Worlds Fair rate of so per
cent fat, the yields were 1881, 1886
and 2l6.1 pounds, while the Jersey,
Dora Mckee, with yield of 32Oi.l
pounds OF milk, was credited with
23S. or 2542 pounds of butter.
1t would seem from this that this
herd was entitled to place an easy
standard at 5000 pounds of milk and
800 pounds of butter per COW per year.
If ten months are allowed as the
proper length OF lactation in every
han IN ho etc nd
ard must average twenty pounds OF
milk and one pound of butter daily
for this time, 300 days. The yield
should be double these amounts at
their highest point and be held for
longer or shorter time accordingly.
During the year 1897 the more val
liable COWS of this herd were con-
demned because of spread of tubercu-
Iosis which was also found in many
of the heifers from these cows. In
1897 and 1898 the following records
were made.
The highest yields per day previous
to 1890 was 1868 pounds, by Daisy Il.
and 1853 by Spot.
The highest yield per day has now
teen 3S.i54 pounds, by May, Short
horn.
The highest yields per month have
been by Daisy E, 10006 pounds, and
May. 1,026.4 pounds. The COW that
yields two gallons Of milk per day for
ten months will exceed $500 pounds,
and she should yield nearly four gal
Ions per day when fresh. The highest
yearly records were made in 1896. as

Inyestigatinr Forest EIre..

Investigation OF the causes, effects,
and means Of prevention of forest fires
in the west is being carried on this
summer in Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah.
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
South Dakota. Besides fieldstudy, de-
signed chiefly to discover means of
preventing the evil, the division Is
making historic record Of all impor-
tant fires which have occurred in the
United States since 1854. Although yet
incomplete, this indicates that the an
nual recorded loss by forest burnings
in the United States is. at the very
lowest, $20,000,000. 1t will probably
run far above this sum, as the Pacific
coast states have been only partially
examined. Accounts of over $500 dis
astrous fires have been obtained in the
seventeen states already examined.
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
have suffered the most severely. These
records are taken chiefly from news
papers, and where it has been possible
to compare them with the figures of
practical lumbermen, it has been found
that the tendency Of the press is to
underestimate the damage.

A Canadian dairy instructor says:
l am sorry to say that the creameries
of Canada are not being improved as
much as they should be, particularly
in the way of equipment and SANTA
ton, or in providing suitable store
rooms which can be held at low tenn
perature for storing the butter in. A.
great number of the summer creamer-
les are being run on the cream gather
ing system. This necessitates an
abundant supply Of cold water which
is oftentimes allowed to run over the
floor, or in open cutters, and has a
tendency to keep the room damp and
prevent the churn and butterworker
from becoming dry, and the result Is
that they soon become foul smelling.
The remedy for this is to. conduct the
water away in pipes, and also attach a
hose and steampipe. After the
churn is thoroughly washed, close the
lid and insert the end OF the hose in
the buttermik outlet, and ten steam
thoroughly for twenty minutes. The
intense heat will destroy all germ
life, and leave the churn dry and
clean. This is also an excellent de-
vice for steaming the butter worker
and utensils. and also the cans or
tanks used in drawing the cream.
