Driving, cycling and automobiling
tourists who return from their out
ings on the South Jersey pixies this
summer are unusually enthusiastic in
heir praises of these shell roads, writes
the Philadelphia Press.
The process of constructing these
roads Is of special interest because of
its simplicity. There is no expense of
digging out the roadbed and filling ii
first with large stones and then with
smoother top dressing as In the con-
struction of macadamized road. The
shells are simply unloaded from the
boats (Which bring them In great guam
titles from nearby oyster fields to
Buena Vista wharf, and are then
carted out along the roads until hol-
low is found, or any spot that needs
repairing, and are then unceremon.
iously dumped and left without any
process Of pounding or smoothing, until
broken up and leveled off by the pass.
ing carriages and farm wagons.
In constructing shell road from the
beginning, load after load of the oyster
shells are dumped in an irregular bank
all along the centre of the roadway;
then with a road scraper bank of
earth Is thrown up along the edge to
keep the shells from scattering. This
leaves a narrow, smooth space over
which the scraper has passed along
the edge of the bank of shells; and as
this is used for driving as long as the
weather is dry. IL would seem that the
bank of sharp shells would never be
driven into smooth, white firmness. But
wait until there is heavy storm, and
the smooth road at the side becomes a
mass of heavy mud and sand, then
the rough shell bank is gladly mounted,
and although 1t is decidedly rough at
first, the heavy country driving and
carting of farming produce soon
crushes the shells and forces them into
the rain soaked soil beneath. A second
or third banking of the shells, scatter
Ing them further over the sides of the
roadbed each time, with this process
repeated. forms a roadbed that is hard
and firm to the depth of foot or more,
and beautifully smooth and white.
When these shell roads extend along
great stretches of pines, with even
rows of cedar and fir trees lining the
roadway las they do throughout many
parts of New Jersey, one is reminded
of the palm lined drives so alluringlv
pictured in views of "our new posses
sions."

Have Regular Feeding Hours.

The Oregon station made q test of
the Importance of regular hours for
feeding and milking cows. They took
six cows and divided them into two
lots as near alike as to age and length
of time in milk as they could. One
lot was fed and MIXED regularly at $50
a. IN. and 230 p. M, while the other
lot was fed and MIXED at hours rang
ing from to a. m. and from to
D. m. This was kept up for three
weeks, the amount of feed being the
same for each lot. AS a result those
fed and MIXED regularly increased
their milk production SO per cent,
while the other lot shrank A per cent.
This difference Of about ten per cent.
in three weeks emphasizes what we
have said so often: Feed aud milk
regularly. t,se,s

There is more Catarrh In this section Of the

other crops are producing only half

With prices ruling high, this extra

One such season in the past is enough
to convince many Of this. A high yield
of excellent market potatoes can be
accomplished only through intensive
culture in good seasons; but when the
weather, seed and insects are all

thankful that nothing has been left un

in poor seasons 1t pays better than

No Food For All purposce.

There is no perfect food for all pur-
poses. Everything depends upon what
is to be accomplished. If the object
is to fatten an animal the food should
contain larger proportion of corn
than II the desire ls,to promote growth.
OF the various foods, grass is equal
to any, as 1t is rich in mineral matter
and is also an assistant In fattening
because 1t promotes digestion and is
eaten slowly. For milk production
grass may be assisted by the concen-
trated foods and also by hay. but only

After pressing as firmly as possible,
the union Is made more complete by
