CHESTNUT CULTURE.
Methods Employed by PennsyI-
Vania Gentleman Who Has
Grove of 2G5 Acres,

Coleman X. Sober, of Union county,
Pa, owns the largest chestnut grove
in the United States, says the Phila-
delphia Press. 1t comprises 2O5
acres, with over 100000 trees. Mr..
Sober is a wealthy lumberman of
Lewisburg, whose object is to render
profitable the millions of acres of
wild mountain land in the common
wealth. When a boy of IL he asked
his father, while grating fruits, to
graft some young chestnut trees, but
was only laughed at. Five years ago
he carried out his boyish idea, on
land too rough even for sheep pas
ture, the waste of numbering opera
tions, on the sides of Irish valley.
eight miles from Shamokin. Pine and
oak were cut down generation ago.
leaving chestnut standing. Cutting
these down, young shoots sprung up
which were grated with scions of
Paragon, crisp, sweet nut, five
times as large as the native chestnut.
This fall Mr.. Sober harvested his first
crop, 30 bushels, worth 81 bushe.
and III a few years his returns will
be by the thousands. In fact, the
estimate for next year is about 1000
bushels, which, at Sc, would be $lS.-
600, from land not worth So an acre
for farming purposes. Mr.. Sober did
the first grating himself, with a lit
tie assistance. The last two seasons
he employed eight grafters for five
weeks, each man averaging 300 trees
a day Ninety per cent. of the CRAFTS
were successful. The groves are pro-
tected on two sides by fire roads,"
and all brush is carefully buried.
Game chickens are kept to prey on
the chestnut weevel and sheep to
keep the grass down. Mr.. Sober fa-
vors transplanting seedlings rather
than planting nuts.

WORTH CULTIVATING.
Facts and Figures which show That
Our Dnirymen should Cultivate
Home Markets.

The American home market for
dairy products is the one that should
engage the attention of American cow
keepers. We have the best market in
the world and a market that is con-
tinually increasing its demand. Many
of our states and territories do not
make enough butter to supply their
home demand. In a recent report of
the dairy commissioner of the state of
Washington we find that last year that
state imported from other states AGO.
600 pounds of butter and 1,413,00
pounds of cheese. Though there are
200 creameries and 100 cheese factories
in the state, the supply of dairy prod
ucts is that much short. The popula-
tions in these western states is increas-
ing at great rate, as well as are the
populations in the great cities of the
country. Although some of the west
ern states that import dairy products
are really so situated that it would be
possible to produce the dairy foods
needed, yet the habits of the people are
such that no great and rapid advance
in that direction can be looked for.
They are absorbed in other pursuits
that they deem more profitable. These
markets are susceptible of great de-
velopment, and with proper methods
of distribution the amounts consumed
would be very much greater than at
the present time.-Farmers' Review.

HIGHWAYS IN EUROPE.
France Probably Has the Best Laws
for Building and Repairing
Public Roads

Two En1dred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking of them Macauley
says that a route connecting two
great towns which have a large and
fiourishing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost of
the rural population scattered be-
tween them is manifestly unjust. 1t
was not until many toll ~bars had
been violently pulled down, until the
troops had in many instances been
forced to act against the people, and
until much blood had been shed that
good system was introduced"
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road system in
England. The French have probably
the most efficient laws and regula
tions in the world for the building
and repairing of highways. The min
lister of public works has the general
superintendent of all roads and
ways by land and by water. There
are four classes of road recognized
by law, namely: (D national, (2) de-
partmental, (3) military, (4) cross
roads. National roads are built and
kept up by the national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge
upon the departments through which
they pass, and part of the military
roads are kept up by the government
and part by the departments
through which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in
thinly populated regions these com
munes receive assistance from the
government, especially when these
roads become of Importance.
The national roads are paved like
a street, having an average width of
52h feet. The departmental roads
are 80 feet wide, and the military and
cross roads are of variable width.
Piles of broken stone are placed at
convenient distances and a man is
constantly employed in repairing each
section.-American Asphalt journal.

HOW MILK IS TAINTED.
DtsagreeabIt Hiavor Is Due to Neg
1ected Pas:ure Fields and Care
Iessness of Mixers.

The most unpleasant taste of taint-
ed milk which appears in a good deal
that is shipped to market in the fall
and winter is due to large extent to
the condition of the pasture fields and
the carelessness of the mixers. Moth
ing probably prejudices city people
more against drinking milk than to
taste this disagreeable flavor. Dairy
men who are careless in their methods
do great deal to condemn milk as a
daily diet. More and more people are
coming to the conclusion that milk
forms the best diet provided by ma
ture, but people Will not drink it so
long IS they have their sense of clean
liress and healthfulness offended by
this disagreeable odor which comes
from careless milking and feeding. II
the trouble could not be remedied
there would be some excuse for its
existence, writes C. S. Walthers in the
Massachusetts Ploughman.
Most of the odor and tainted flavor
comes from weeds allowed TO grow up
in the pasture field. These weeds are
ignored by the cows when the pasture
is good, but when fall comes, and there
is little else to eat in the fields, they
will eat weeds. Now these weeds alb
solutely produce no good at all. They
do not nourish the cows nor make
milk. They simply taint the milk,
cream and butter, and spoil its chances
of sale. Therefore, the dairyman who
permits the weeds to grow in the pas
ture fields in the autumn is prac-
tically iniuring his own interests at
both ends. The weeds which are sys-
tematically rooted out and cut down
every summer and fall cannot long
persist in growing, and the combat viii
become easier and easier every year.
But one seasons crop that is allowed
to produce seeds will counteract the
good work Of several years on the part
of the dairyman.
The matter of cleanliness in milking
is one that should not need empha siz-
ing, and yet the dirty, filthy methods
followed on so many farms is sufficient
evidence that careless methods are
still followed. The milk that has a
cowy flavor is tainted by The dirt and
filth that drops in the milk pail. Care
less milkers are responsible for it, and
they should receive their lessons in
cleanliness by those who handle the
milk. If we would but remember that
all such tainted milk hurts the whole
business, and in most cases ruins the
dairyman who practices the methods,
there might be less poor milk shipped
to market, and less poor butter made
on the farm or creamery.
