I AND LIVE STOCK,

The fat hogs should be put into
the pork barrel, or in bank, before
they eat more value of corr than they
are worth.
Is it your dog, or your neighbours,
that is killing your sheep? If it is
not your dog consult your neighbor
in a friendly manner.
The hogs must be supplied with
some bulky food during the winter.
Glover hay cut early, and secured SO
as to save the leaves and heads is the
most desirable for this purpose. This
can be cut fine, and then steamed or
soaked and fed with meal mixed into
a thick slop. Where no special pro-
vision has been made, the clover
leaves car be gathered from the barn
floor where the hay is thrown down.

EXPERIMENTS WITH OF.
1t Not Only s%uppresses Dust ON Coun-
try Roads. But Makes Them Far
More Durable.

T. F. White talked not long ago to-
the GoodSRoads association Of southern
California about some experiments
made by him at Chino. For the last
two years a good deal has been done
in his part of the country with oil on
country roads, the prime object being
F(as on railroad Sbeds) the suppression.
Of dust. This was the only thing
sought when Chino contracted for its
first lot of oiled roads, some rs or so
miles in length. But it was soon dis
covered that oil might be madet to build
up a surface that would resist.the wear
OF travel, and that is the great aim
of the later practice there. Mr.. White
sad that the roads were originally con-
structed BY a contractor, who guaran-
teed "a dustless road's from May till
December. During the first season the
contractor sprinkled them three times.
Subsequently, the town undertook to
care for the roads itself, and it was
then tound that one application of oil
would, do good than the con-
tractors three.
on sprinkled directly on a sandy or
alluvial road will do little good, Mr..
White says. 1t should be surfn c with
a hrmer material before the oil is ap-
Piled. Sand, properly covered, makes
a wonderfully firm bed. When Mr..
Mhlte was put in charge of the roads
OF chino, he found a section of sand
half a mile long over which a c,ayey
gravel had been hauled from a distance.
The stuff had once been used for maxi
ing bricks. Only a few inches Of it
had been spread over the sand. Yet it
made a fine road for dry weather.
When wet, holes would work through
IN a short time. But by oiling the road
was greatly improved. The gravel
employed is peculiar to southern Cali
%fornia, but Mr.. White is confident that
any disintegrated granite, such as may
be found in other states, would work
equally well.
In making new roads, he first graded
the foundation and then put on a layer
OF this gravel seven inches thick in the
middle and six at the edges. Afterward
he made it nine inches thick in the
middle and eight on the sides. The
foundation was rolled hard and kept
wet just ahead of the gravel. The lat
ter was also thoroughly soaked when
spread. A heavy orchard cultiyator
was run through it, while the water
was being poured on. Harrow and
roller were used to shape the road up,
and finally it was given a chance to dry.
When the road had dried out to q
depth OF fully two inches, it was care.
fully swept and the oil put on. The
hrst application should be liberal. On
a road IS feet wide Mr.. White puts from
100 to $50 barrels for each mile. Before
the oil is applied, it is heated to a TEN,
perature of 200 degrees or over.

Advantages of Drainage.

Drainage affords the conditions
which favor perfect termination,
speedy development and complete ma
turity. It admits a free circulation
of air and moisture in the soil and
makes possible both animal and vege-
table life. It breaks down and mellows
stiff and otherwise untillable soil. It
induces chemical action to take place
in the land and thus prepares plant
food. It admits a deeper root growth
and gives a wider. range from which to
draw sustenance for the plant. 1t
makes it possible to secure greater
benefits from the application of both
yard and commercial manures. It re-
duces injury to wheat and other crops
from freezing. 1t lengthens the time
of tillage and renders cultivation pos
sible when it would be out of the ques-
ton if NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Rural.

TEACH CALVES TO E A
DE. Galen Wilson Relates an Incident
Containing n Lesson for Every
Dairyman.

Did you ever think what it would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any cow on your
place and lead her off like a horse?
DR.. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing a man driving a COW along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, fretting, using harsh language
and casting a stone at her OCCASION
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
iessons~I had in "cow culture"
My good old "pater" kept a dairy
of ten COWS always, and raised the
cows himself. When a young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves to be led. 1t was only fun
for me and I thought him very lib
eral. Later, I saw him sell a cow to
a neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that "were not the COW SO
nice to be led I should charge you
but $35; but now she is worth all I
ask you, and for that reason"
Knowing that I had taught the cow
to be led and received only a dollar
for the service, I thought at the time
that my parent on my fathers side,"
as Artemus Ward said, had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences, it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of a good
cow to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven or
led singly sometimes, somewhere.
Teach the calf to be led and when
she's a COW she will not depart from
the early teaching.

Money in Sweet Potatoes,

Sweet potatoes give fair profits when
grown under careful supervision and
excellent cultivation. William Colwell,
of H~amrrandton, N. j., using the or
binary Nansemond variety, grew many
hills of sweet potatoes this season
which contained from 10 to ~ pounds
per hill. This would be about 500 bush
els per acre, should such a field be uni
form in yield. While the crop showed
such excellence only in some of the
hills, yet the yields show what is pos.
sible with the sweet potato with judi
cious cultivation.

Many Plants Grow in Sand.

Experiments at the department Of
agriculture show hat no sand is so
poor and sterile that something will
not grow upon it, and in many cases it
has been of great benefit to plant sand
binding species of grass. It's effect has
been not only to produce something,
but to prevent blowing and drifting Of
the soil, which in some places works
great havoc, almost equaling snow.
The department has introduced a large
number of foreign sand-binding species
which are being tried in our various
climates.-Farmers' Voice.
