Replying to some inquiries as to how
consolidation of road districts of
which there are usually several in CIV
cry civil township may be effected. ii
will be found that in most of the states
the size of the road district is left large
ly discretionary with the township
trustees or the town board. So that if
consolidation of the many small dis
trictS into one or two districts is de
sired it is very easy to bring the change
about. Ii may be noted here that
where such consolidation has been eff
fectcd there are everywhere found good
reSultS-a more economical expenditure
of the puhlic money secured, better
work obtained and the employment of
more sensible and Intelligent methods

with a field of clover which il under

Of crop rotation This is a hard propo-
sition to tackle. y few pocket gophers
can be handled with traps and poison

would be almost useless on so large n

would seem as if these pests were find
Ing specially good ratonS on the roots
of the clover, and if this should be the
case the easiest way to rid the field of
them would be to change the crop. and
probably no crop would be better than
blue grass, using the field for a pas

almost as much so as the mole.

OLD THINGS.

What to do with old things-things
which have served their time and are
no longer profitable TO keeps often
quite a problem on the farm. The old
horse. if one which has long been a
faithful servant. should be humanely
killed and under no circumstances
traded eff to some peddler or horse
Jockey. In fact. it may be put down
as 4 safe rule to 60 by that when a
horse has no value greater than 81 the
proper thing to do is 10 kill it as pain
lessly as possible. The old COW is a
different proposition, for in a sense her
carcass has a commercial value as meat
food; but she should not be sold TO the
local butcher to worry the jaws of a
law abiding country community, but
should be sent to the canneries, where
sbe can tickle the palates of watering
place picnic parties. Old machinery
should be taken apart, the ironwork
sold as junk and the woodwork used
should go to the peddler for new tin
ware. Old hens-but then there should
never be any old hens on the farm
they should all 90 to market as 2-year-
olds. The old dog. lame and NANCY,
should be put out of the way with
chloroform and decently buried. 1t is
well to watch and avoid the getting of
old things on ones hands, especially in
the line of all domestic animals.
