farms. American plows are but little
used in this part of France one reason
being the disposition of our manufac-
turers to force the French farmer to
use plows made according to patterns
used in the United States instead of as
certaining what models are desired
here.
The leading French plow exhibited
was one with double moldboard and
share While the farmer plows with
one share the other share and the
moldboard rest directly above the ones
In use, one being left and the other
right handed. When the end of the
furrow is reached, the farmer turns
down the other share. This style of
plow is very common, because of the
fact that grain and vegetables are
planted in ridges instead of on a level
surface. These ridges are from eight
cen to twenty inches in width and
about twelve to fourteen inches apart,
with a rounded surface. The peasant
women pass between the ridges of
growing grain and pull out the weeds.

WHAT BAD ROADS COST.
Agricultural interests Suffer Mos
From the Mud.

From the Mud.
We have just passed through one
the two periods of the year when thu
country roads problem forces itsel
prominently to the front and becomes
n living issue with every one who hai
not paved streets and improved side
walks to pass over, says the Chicagt
Evening Post. There is no state In tn
Union in which the question can be ie
nored, for there is no state in whicl
the country roads in the opening o
spring and the beginning of winter ar
in reasonably passable condition. Ag
ricultural interests everywhere are tn
heaviest sufferers from the wretche'
conditions of the country roads. Jus
how much they have suffered from TIL
cause they have never been able TO es
innate. Had they had any conceptio'
of the extent of their losses it is prob
able they would have eXerted them
selves long ago to bring about a radica
change and would have supplied them
selves with good roads irrespective o
the first cost of the work, which is de
cdedly the heaviest portion of it.
What they have failed to do TO
themselves in the matter of estimate
the agricultural department has &C
complished for them. 1t set a corps
experts to ascertain the actual condl
tons and to estimate the direct losse
suffered by the farming communitie
through the lack of permanent countr.
highways easily passible at all season
of the year and in all conditions of tn
weather.
The average cost of hauling farm
products from the farms to the poin
of shipment over the entire Unitei
States is % cents per ton per mile. Thu
railroads charge less than half a cen
a mile per ton for hauling these prod
ucts to market, or about one-fiftieth tn,
amount it costs the farmers them
selves to deliver the goods to the rail
ways.
These figures show how extremel
shortsghted the agricultural commun
ties are in permitting their highway
TO remain as they are at present. TIL,

country roads and of hauling over then

Compost Heap.
We never found better season for
putting Fat on almost any kind of an
animal than the months of October
and November The cool nights and
bracing air seem to give them good APP
petites, and, while there should be on
the farm enough of grass, waste vege-
tables, pumpkins ana other succulent
food to stimulate digestion, it is safe
to feed an amount of concentrated
food or grain that we would not dare
to give in hot weather or scarcely
when the animals had only hay for
rough forage and this is as applicable
to swine as to cattle.
Why not begin this fall to make a
compost heap for use on the garden
next year? Muck from the bitches,
turf from the roadside and hedgerows,
even road dust, will make a good foun-
dation for it. Then there are leaves
and weeds that can be added. The
manure from the henhouse, the con-
tents of vaults and cesspools, the slops
and soapsuds from the house, all this
and much more can be put into it and
mixed in well each week or oftener,
and the spring will show heap that Is
more powerful than barnyard manure.
The weed seeds will be destroyed by
the heat that will start as it decays,
and it can be so managed as to be al
most free from odor and yet a power
full stimulant for garden crops and
small fruits, perhaps too powerful if
there is not muck or earth enough at
the base or added as the pile increases.
