Ons Of the greatest lessons that mod
ern dairying has taught us is that thor
oush and intensive work on small
Eale pays better than careless and
shpshod work. either on 4 large or
small scale. The man who can handle
. few COWS and make them pay prof
it is in fair way to make success
with any number But let one fail
with few. and you will soon find him
failing with many. A great many peo-
pie are inclined to say, What's the
Use Of bothering with few COWS. The
profits Oil them would only amount to
2 little a year. and it is waste Of time
to be so careful and thorough" That
principle carried through any business
or branch Of farming brings disaster,
in its train. There is no better advice
to q young dairyman than to tell him
10 begin with five COWS and learn how
to handle them so the greatest amount
OF profit possible is obtained from
them. Then after he has mastered
ell the details Of such small herd'
let him add more COWS. but only so
fast as he can handle them properly,
giving 10 each one the same attention
he bestowed upon the first five.
The intensive method Of dairying is
very simple to explain, but it is not so
easy to practice. 1t begins with good
cows, or at least the foundation for a.
GOOD herd in the shape Of a good BULL
Let good blood be introduced some
where. and then proceed deliberately
and carefully to grade up the animals;
limiting the number until the very best
is obtained. If the farm is small
one it is better 10 have only few
! COWS, lust enough to find support On
the products. When you come to buy
inc hay and grain for the dairy herd
YOU irvariably contract debts tlat can
never be paid. Yet the animals must
be fed lib2rally and steadily winter
ard summer. They cannot be neg
lected in this way. 1t is only by
GOOD system of raising rotation OF
food crops. Of selling, and Of laying
aside plenty Of ensilage and winter
hay that we can hope 10 feed the COWS

consists solely in feeding and milking

GeolopIeal Survey. In N

the report Of the 1augAt III
Geological Survey. In M
first place we are told that
the people Of Maryland have expend-
ed, during the last ten years, upon
the so-called construction and repair,
of their own roads, tie sum of no
less than S6,OO0,0O0. 1t seems that the
greater part of this money has been,
frittered away in the attempt to rel
pair roads which have been poorly
laid out in the first place, and for the
lack Of certain necessary engineering
qualifications can, in the nature OF
things. never be made into good roads.
AS an instance Of this it may be men-
tjored that many Of the common
roads have no natural drainage. We
are told that the most Of them are
in a poor condition for part Of the
year, and some of them for the whole
twelve months.
AS the result of careful estimate
made by the survey, it is shown that
the farmers Of the State of Maryland
expend S3,0CO,000 more on their haul
ing over the present poorly built high
ways than would be necessary If the
hauling were done on frst-class roads.
These figures are to be compared with
the information collected by the De-
partment of Agriculture in 1895, when,
as the result of data received from
over twelve hundred counties in vari
Gus parts Of the United State, 1t was
ascertained that the average cost o"
hauling one ton for one mile over
country roads was twenty-five cents,
which was just three times as much
as the average cost Of hauling over,
the improved macadam roads Of six
European countries. If this large sum
of money represents the loss to the
State of Maryland from poor roads,
it is easy to say that the total loss
throughout the UIfited States repre-
sents a figure so great that it mus
have an important bearing upon tie
prosperity of the country at large,
and particularly upon the farming n.
terests as such.
At first sight it seems incredible that
in a country SO progressive as ours
the condition Of the common roads
should be over half a century behind
that of the old world. Its tue that
the vast extent of the United States,
and the great mileage of our roads in
some States relative to the density OF,
the population, may be offered as an
excuse for backwardness; but While
this plea may hold good as regards
the thinly populated Western and
Southern States, it cannot be applied
to the older, more populous and
wealthy sections Of the country-Sci;
entific American.

There is nothing new about wormy
apples except the way to avoid having
them. There are several species OF
erubs Or worms which work in apples.
but the one which, does nearly all tie
damage is the core worm. The core
worm is the offspring of tile Goblin
moth, and this is the insect which q
man wants to fight in his apple trees.
The best general remedy for the core
worm o. ccdling moth. according to III
formation furnished by the Vermont
experiment station, is paris green.
Some apple growers use London pur-
Die, others use white arsenic, but they
amour. to the same thing. They all
roison the core worms. Other insect
cides, like hcllebore, kerosene or sui
phur, are not effective in this case.
In the hands Of the average man
paris green is the best medicine for
the codling moth. The poison should
be thoroughly mixed with water at The
rate Of quarter Of a pound to the bac-
rel-that IS. about one pouna oL pdT-s
green to 100 10 30 gallons Of water.
About a pound Of lime ought to be
added to each barrel Of water, which
will prevent scalding of the foliage. It
should be applied with q spray pump
and fine nozzle.
In case bordeaux mixture is used on
the tree the paris green may be added
directly to that solution at tie rate al
ready recommended.
The first spraying for The codlinS
moth should be made as soon as inc
blossoms fall. or within 4 week after
ward. 1t is very important to do this
before the little apples begin to hang
down their heads. so after that tlma
they do not catch and hold the poison.
