 The Oneida County League for Good Roads Is enthusiastic over the success of the work and hopes for the wider adop. tion of the plan. F. c. Walcotr, superin- tendent of some of the factories of the New York Mills company, the largest taxpayer in the road district, ass isted in supervising the road building, and in 8 report to the state engineer points out some objectionable features of the pres- ent system. The law making an allow ance to the sheriff for pris oners' food and permitting him to save what he can from it he thinks should be changed. Prisoners at hard labor outdoors need more food than when in jail, and the sheriff is under strong temptation either to feed the men inadequately or to oppose the outdoor work which cuts down his profits. The county furnishes one guard for each eight prisoners. They are entirely under control of the sheriff. MT Walcott if dds that for lack of author ity oyer them the highway commissioner is sometimes unable to secure perfect discipline or exact fair amount of work from them. These defects could easily be remedied. In spite of them road building by county prisoners is 8 great success. It is good for the prisoners, and 1t makes possible good roads in places where the expense of other labor renders improvement hopeless. By the expenditure of the present wasted road taxes for prison labor on the construction of permanent macadam roads the towns of New York in a few years could obtain 8 fine system of highways to supplement the main thoroughfares to be built by the state. The board of supervisors in every county would do we'll to follow the example of Oneida and turn the occu. pants of their jails to good use.

No Dairy Educatlon IN california.

. I
s No Dairy Education In california.
Bulletin "a, of the Department or
Agriculture, treating OF dairy educa-
ton in California says: n. ssss.s . .s*.2&1
In striking contrast with Californfa's
characteristic energy In advancing the
interests of many OF her industries in
every possible way, the one method
OF promoting dairying, which in ether
states is considered Of the greatest I'M
portance, has thus far been neglected..
The state is doing nothing in the line
OF special dairy instruction, ard her
dairy interests are suffering In conse-
quence. The reason may be that this
branch OF agriculture has not until
recently become fone OF the important
industries OF the state, and those hav-
Ing power to assist in it's promotion
nave not yet realized its great posi-
ollltles. Efforts to establish a state
dairy school have been made, but
without success. It was a subject of
discussion at the dairymen's conven-
ton, and its friends will continue to
agita'te It, hoping that a school will
be opened in the near future. The
necessity for such school is readily
seen. In the past few years there
nave been many improvements and
charges in dairy operations, and the
improvements and changes still con-
T1nue. Butter and cheese makers who
now follow comparatively recent but
really oJlt-of-date methods are work
ing at great disadvantage New
forms OF machinery are constantly be-
ing introduced, methods OF manufac-
ture are being perfected, market re-.
quirements are becoming more strict;
and competition is growing more keen.
Special instruction in dairying is Of
Tered at more or less well-equipped
schools in thirty-one states. California
is the only one in which the industry
rs at all prominent that is not on the
list. The need of dairy school In
California is very apparent. The an
'nual reports of the state board of
trade show the Importance Of the
garry Industry as compared to others.
Inc value of California dairy products
us equal to two-thirds the value of her
gold output, and far exceeds the value
OF any other mineral product. The
dairy products are worth almost half
as much as the wheat crop and about
half as much as the combined crops OF
all kinds of fruit. The receipts from
sales of butter, cheese, cream, and milk
amount to nearly double the annual
Z expenditures for the support of the
pubic schools. According to the last
census California ranks in dairying with
other states as follows: Seventeenth
IN total number of COWS; seventeenth
IN total butter product; ninth in total
cheese product. Yet thirty-ene states
are ahead Of her in encouraging and
promoting da1rying by offering spe-
/. clal dairy instruction. It is seen that
the dairy interests of many OF them
are smaller than those of California,
both in toto and in comparison with
other industries.

Horses for Europe.

Inc German trade does not require
either an impossible or an ideal horse,
suited to all purposes; but it does de-
,mand good horses of every kind, thor
oughiy prepared for their special work.
A horse to bring remunerative price,
ie1ther for home or foreign service, must
I'LL distinct place, i. e., he must be
a good one of his kind, whether he be
cavalry horse, draft horse, a car
rage horse, a trotter, hunter, polo
pony or what kind soever The stan
dard by which good horses are judged
us apra ctlcally the same on both CONT
'nents- A good horse in America is a
good horse in Europe provided he fills
a olstlnct want in the business of the
country. In Europe horses pull carts,
cabs, omnibuses, coaches, trans,
lploWs, ETC., and carry men on their
backs. Thus they need horses Of all
breeds, for no one breed can possibly
MI all of these requirements satisfac-
4torily.
Great Britain-Ninety per cent of all
horses shipped to this country are
dra1t horses, about z per cent are
'n1gh-class coachers, aud per cent
trottlng and light carriage horses.
Germany-Minety-five per cent of all
the horses shipped to Hamburg are
! dratt horses, weighing 1900 pounds or
upward, the other s per cent being
made up OF high-class carriage, run
n1hs' and trottlng horses. Most of the
latter are reshipped to Austria.
+ France-About IS per cent. of the
horses exported to this country are
what are termed cabbers. The other
Is per cent are about equally divided
between draft horses and trotters.
|@ Belgium--About 2 per, cent Of those
sent to Antwerp are trotting or light
buggy horses. % per cent street car
horses, weighing. 1000 pounds, and rs
per cent draft horses, weighing 1,60O
pounds and upward. III .z}.3 AL + i.
