ROADS WITHOUT DUST.
They Are Pleasant to Travel Over,
But Only When They Rest on
Solid Foundation,

1t seems just possible that auto
mobiles, rubber tires and the desire
for travelling fast, in conjunction
with the fact that these three fac
tors produce an intolerable amount
Of dust on the best roads of TODAY.
may lead to new methods in road
building which eventually will super
sede macadamizing in the ordinary
sense of this word. Experiments
with this end in view, such as those
made in California with crude pc
troleum for smoothing the roadway
and rendering it "dustless," may be
of the highest interest for the de-
velopment of motor traffic, but a
dangerous tendency to overlook the
fixed data of the road-building art
crops out too frequently in the ex-
periments made in this country. It
was/one of the greatest merits of
MacAdam that he never tired of re-
sisting propositions for cheap and
unscientific compromises in road con-
struction but stoutly and successful
ly maintained that there is one
principle which must be absolutely
adhered to if the good quality of any
new road shall be permanent, viz:
a foundation resting as solid and
impermeable crust on the natural soil
protecting it against all changes due
to rain or frost and supporting g
porous layer which will absorb or
shed water and to which all subse-.
quent repairs should be confined.
This requirement has never been sue
cessfully dispensed with and it seems
more than doubtful whether it can
be dispensed with now or in the fu-
ture, whatever other changes may be
lnaugurated to remedy the dust evil
which is the worst enemy of ordinary

Dairy Wisdom in GranuIes.

Never use butter increasers," for
anything that will recover the casein
as well as the fat from milk, is fraud,
and the product is not butter. Never
milk in rusty tin pail, or put milk into
any receptacle that is rusty. Coloring
matter does not affect the wholesome
ness of butter. Never put ice into
cream to cool it. If you let butter
freeze it will soon go off flavor. The
COW and not feed, gives the richness
to milk. Ensilage does not affect the
quality of butter, though to very
highly cultivated taste it may slightly
favor the butter. Milk contains from
four to five per cent. of sugar. Cream
is often kept too long in winter, and
poor butter is the result. A good
cheese ought to be one-third fat. Feed
the cow the same for cheese as you
would for butter.-Horace Benton, in
Agricultural Epitomist.

FAIR PROFIT IN VEAL.
A Source of Income That Is COmpletes
ly Neglected by Many West
ern Dairymen.

Too many make a mistake in not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal. 1t is a question with me
whether it does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christmas and then
sell. One thing is sure. Let farmer
once work up an honest trade for such
meat, and, like genuine fresh eggs or
gilt-edged butter, he could put on a
stiff price and still find a ready mar
ket.
Most farmers in this section kill
their calves when a day or two old, and
sell the hides for 60 cents or 81, accord
ing to size and weight, while the moth
er's milk must go to the pigs for some
time, as it is not fit for butter or
cheese. Now, why not adopt the prac-
tice that is beginning to come in vogue
here of feeding this milk to calves un-
til fit for use anywhere, then giving
warm, sweet skimmilll with a little
finely ground grain mixed in as the
calf grows older? Soon one will have
an animal on hand with a decided mar
ket value.
Calves must be kept dry if they are
to thrive, and run on the ground in
the open air is as good for them as an
occasional tonic is for their owners.
My father always fed little sulphur

Annual Butter Production

1t is reported that the annual out
put of butter in the United States has
now reached the grand total of AGO.
100000 pounds, which seems at first
glance an aggravated case of over
production, but when the amount is
divided among our population it gives
each one less than 1874 pounds for
whole year, or less than seven-ninths
of an ounce day. If everybody is able
to eat as much butter as he wants. then
we are among the lightest eaters of
butter of the so-called civilized coun-
tries, and instead of trying to build up
foreign demand for butter we would
better try to enlarge the appetite of
our own people for that product

FARM HOUSE CELLAR.
1t Should BE Built or Repaired In
Summer When the Soil Water
Is at Its Lowest

The farm house cellar is an impor-
tant factor in the management of the
farm. A poor cellar hastens the de-
terioration of the farm produce that
may be stored in il for preservation
during the winter. If any improve
ments are to be made in it, now is the
time when they must be considered;
as they should certainly be made dur
ing summer time and when the soil
water is below the bottom of the cell
lar. If a cellar is to be valuable,
dampness must be eliminated. There
is no doubt that a cement floor is a
desideratum in most cellars. The eX-
ceptions are the cellars where the nat
ural texture and lay of the land are
such that the bottom of the cellar
is perfectly dry. Such cases are not,
however, numerous in the prairie
states where the ground is level. Gen.
orally the moisture in the ground
works sideways enough to set under
the cellar and then works upward
Two results come from this: the cell
lar gets wet in spots and in rainy
weather even pools form in the Tow
places; the walls have their support
softened and settle enough to cause
cracks to appear in the ceilings aId
around the chimneys. The moisture
once present is with difficulty removed,
no matter how much the windows and
doors are opened. This condition of
affairs in the fall causes considerable
loss Tho ff.uifc IL
put into the cellar aud should be kept
cool. To do this the doors and win
dows should be opened during a part
of the night to let in the cool air and
should be closed during the day to
prevent the cool air being displaced by
the warm air. But in the numerous
damp or wet cellars this is not posi-
BILE. The doors and windows must be
kept open during the day to assist in
drying out the water that has soaked
in during the time of the fall rains,
This, of course, renders the cellar of
very little value during the whole au-
tumnal season. Just when the farm
products should be kept cool they are
repeatedly exposed to conditions of
heat and moisture that start the life
principles into activity. Not only so,
but in the fruits and vegetables the
molds and germs that make rot multi
ply and begin their destructive work.
1t is therefore manifest1y to the in
terest of the farmer to have dry
cellar and one that-can be kept cool
in the manner indicated. The first
principle is to have cellar that will
not have to be kept open to insure
freedom from moisture. A small sum
of money spent in improving the cellar
is sure to be paying investment, to
say nothing of the improvement in
the sanitary conditions of the farm
home.-Farmers' Review.

SECURELY BRACED GATE.

ed it is properly constructed; and a
proper construction is shown in the
accompanying illustra ton, two brace 5
being used, both of which hold the
outer end of the gate exactly where it
should be.
Another mistake with farm gates is
that they are too frequently made of
material not heavy enough to be
strongly pinned at the ends of the
bars. Secure pinning is always neces-
sary in order to give the braces a
chance to do their work thoroughly

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Plant no fruit trees unless you in
tend to feed and cultivate them. Set
out first diverse supply for home
use; there is as much profit in these
as in those planted for sale.
Radishes should not be allowed to
GO to seed the first season and scatter
over the garden. Seed grown from
the plants the first year is not apt to
produce sound, brittle roots.
The peach will not thrive on low
ground, preferring an elevated situa-
ton. Plums prefer a stiff, damp soil,
therefore, plum stocks are often used
for an orchard of peaches where the
latter are to be planted on low ground.
According to a conservative esti-
mate there will be AZ beet sugar fac
tories in operation in the United
States by the end of next autumn.
Everything indicates that the industry
is thoroughly established throughout
the country.
While a weak solution of copperas
will rid the cabbage plants of worms,
if sprinkled upon them, a solution of
pine tar will be found preferable.
Prepare a quantity in a barrel, and
have but little care as to the proper
tions, as the water will take up Just
so much of the tar, and no more.
If an old apple orchard is composed
of trees having sound, vigorous
trunks, it is well worth caring for,
even if it bears poor kinds of fruit. 1t
does not take more than three or four
years to regraft and will then be more
profitable than young orchard is
likely to be ten years after planting

openings A, B, and into the troughs
outside. The sides are made to slide
up and down a few inches, so that
the feed can be shut off if desired, or
the spaces A and B can be adjusted
to deliver the grain in small or lib
eral quantities. A board roof keeps
the grain dry. Sled-runners under
this feeder enables it to be hauled
around to any points desired. In the
illustration the end is left open to
show the construction. 1t must be
boarded up tight. A part of the
roof, or all of one side, can be hinged
so as to throw back for putting in
the grain. The illustration shows
how the feeder is made, and anyone
can make the dimensions to suit his
wants.-Ohio Farmer.

TIE KOCH SENSATION.
German BncteriolOgist's TubercuIo-
sis Ideas Are Not Accepted by
the World of Science.

The statement of DR.. Robert Koch,
the eminent bacteriologist and physi-
clan, at the recent British congress on
tuberculosis, that human tuberculosis
and bovine tuberculosis were radically
different diseases has created a stir
among physicians and dairymen. DR..
Koch said he has amply demonstrated
that cattle could not be infected with
human tuberculosis. The counter
proposition that human beings were
not liable to infection from bovine tu-
berculosis was harder to prove, but he
stated that personally he was salts
fled that this was the case. Post-mor-
tenn evidence supporting this belief
was recited at length. Human immu-
nifty from bovine infection disposes of
the belief of infection from dairy prod
ucts, and he considers. this source of
danger so slight as to be unworthy of
precautionary measures. These state
ments, coming from the most eminent
authority living, carry much weight
and are greeted with much Joy by
dairymen, although they are not ac-
cepted by ali scientists. Indeed, they
are bitterly repudiated by Virchow
and Others almost as prominent as
Koch, and the weight of professional
opinion in the United States will be
against Koch's latest views until they
are at least fully substantiated by ex-
perience.
The absurd positions which some of
our state boards of health and other
officials have taken regarding tubercu-
lous cattle are again emphasized, and
1t is shown that there has been need
less slaughter of many animals. One
of the strongest props of pure milk
vendors and tuberculin users will be
knocked out from under them if Koch
views are sustained-that milk from
infected cows is not dangerous to use.
Already an agitation has been started
in some states to repeal existing laws
requiring the inspection and use of the
tuberculin test on cattle.
There is no need to go to the other
extreme and relax all vigilance in re-
spect to tuberculosis among cattle.
While a mild form of the disease does
not affect the general usefulness of an
animal, badly infected herd never
has and never can be profitable to the
owner, because of the large death rate
and great loss from diminished produc-
ton of sick animals. 1t is evident to
all that the most healthful surround
ings, cleanliness and best care of the
animals paws in increased production
and better general health of the herd,
and for this reason, if for no other, all
badly affected animals should be dis
posed of. Dairymen and cattlemen
must come to look upon tuberculosis
in the same way as they do toward
lumpy jaw, anthrax and other con-
tagious diseases-that is disastrous to
the herd and Improbable to the owner.
