The States, counties and towns are
spending large sums of money in build
ing good roads in certain sections, not
only for the better accommodation of
the travelling public and the better
transportation of the products Of those
sections to market, but to increase the
value of the farms near which they
run by such Improvements.
In nearly all cases these roads are
built upon modification of the Mac
Adam or the Telford principle, con-
sisting OF n foundation of large stones.
then smaller stones and q coating of
crushed stone when sucn material is
available. When such work is once
properly done these roads can be kept in
good condition with very small an
nual expense. 1t is estimated that ON
a good gravel road properly made one
horse will easily haul as much as four
would upon an earth road or one i'm
properly made, while on the well made
stone road he can again double his
capacity or draw four times as much
as over the poor .oad.
The preliminary steps are the same
in all cases, first to secure n good,
smooth and solid foundation of even
grade, and well drained The last is
of great Importance, as, If water is al
lowed to soak through il below or
form above, and is not carried away,
the best foundation will soon give way.
The draining would improve many of
our common earth roads, which be-
ing made soft by water underneath,
become almost impascable quagmlres
at certain seasons oe the year, or are
badly washed by heavy rains at others,
when there are not drains or cutters
% carry away the surface water. When
finished the road needs to be made
hard and smooth by the use of
heavy roller. This is done at several
different times during the construc-
tion of the stone roads.-Boston

Doubling the Value of Manure.

After an almost continuous expert
ence with manure spreader for over
eight years. feel justified In saying
that II will pay any farmer having
from $50 to 200 loads of manure per
year to buy a spreader. When used
TO top-dress growing crops or prepared
fields before planting, have found
that the decidedly better mechanical
condition in which the machine places
the manure on the ground increases
the producing value OF the material
by fully 100 per cent by rendering
every article more Immediately avail
able as plant food, and giving n per-
fectly even distribution over every inch
of surface. Therefore. IL the grower is
enabled to get twice the fertilizlng
value from his manure by the use of
the spreader, the increase on even 100
loads would pay a satisfactory divi-
dend on the investment.--R. M. Win
ans, in New England Homestead.

Food by the Farthing's Worth.

Every little while the discovery is
made that the bread and butter prob
lem is extremely simple, despite the
apprehension and distress it causes.
Censors of the wasteful poor show
that it is all question OF economy.
With the proper selection of foods
and the proper cooking of the same
repletion may be had for few dimes
n week, and savings may be laid up
from the surplus which shall consti-
tute the foundations for such another
fortune as Mr.. Carnegie's.
Most of the reformers are wont to
boast the virtues of a vegetable diet,
but for way down cheapness it would
be hard TO beat the mixed regimen
which correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette finds common in the White

abode Of poverty there are large num-
bers Of what he calls 'farthing shops"
The tradesmcn who preside over them

edibles and drinkables, and OF the coal

Clay on Sand successfully rried.

4 N letter to the Johnston Moni-
tor, Judge w. f. Eve, of Augusta.
Ga, gives some interesting in
formation regardlng the construc-
tlon, cost and wear of good roads"
made by putting clay op sand. or
sand on clay, as the character Of the
roadbed requires.
He reports that he has been claying
the sand roads of Richmond County,
Ca. for twenty years. with result of
obtaining "very pleasant hard roads
that last FIVE years without rebuild
ing" The rule is to put down six
inches of clay, with two inches of sand
on top of 1t, and 1t is better to put ON
the sand when the cley Is wet. When
Is formed. which sheds the water, and
the road stays in good condition" The
roadbed should, of course, be first
graded properly, and raised in the
middle so as to shed water to the
drains. I'm dry weather the clay-sand
road is IDEAL" which cannot be said
of sandy road. The cost of the con-
struction is in proportion to the dis
lance the clay has to be hauled.
There are seventy-five miles of such
roads in Richmond County. 1t is
equally efficient to sand the clay roads.
Before 1880, Judge Eve says finally,
many stretches for several miles along
our roads were uncultivated, now they
are in high state of cultivation, and
land values have handsomely in
creased"
Our correspondent at St Matthew's,
says The Charleston News and Cour-
ier," reports one instance in which
such work has been extended to this
part of the State with highly satisfac-
tory results. Three miles of the
was "a very heavy road. with sand
so improved by ]. A. Banks. 1t
was "a very heavy road, with
knee deep" but by the proper
admixture of clay has been made
hard and turnpiked, and will last
indefinitely. 1t is now "a thing of
beauty and joy forever NJ. d. Kel-
Ter, one of the road captains. of Orange
burg County. worked another mile
leading out Of st. Matthew's in the
same way, without any budget or
special fund for the purpose, by hands
employed on regular road duty. p. ].
Tate has also done some good work.
All of which goes to show that both
our deep sand and deep clay roads can
be greatly improved. with a little in
telligently directed work, and at a
trifing cost. The wonder is that any
county or community In the State will
tolerate such roads for a day in such
conditions.

successful poultry breeding depends
In a very great measure upon good,
pure blood To violate this law will
bring disaster to any flock. 1t is for
that reason that inbreeding should not
be risked by the amateur. We may
breed in line and vet avoid the evils
of inbreeding, but that is science which
the beginner has not yet mastered.
Where market poultry is the manstay,
1t is best 60 purchase new male birds
each year. This is the most positive
guarantee that we can give for good
pure blood. 1t gives stamina-adds
new life. But the fancier can hardly
afford to take that risk. To retain the
characteristics of his strain 1t is nee
essary for him to introduce new blood
through the females. which he does
by adding few each yehr. 1t is TAX
ing long road to accomplish what n
shorter cut Introducing new males)
would make
In securing new males the buyer
should be careful to purchase only
from breeder who is generally known
to be annually mating for increased
egg production, and who can show a
good record in that line. Inbreeding
has been a curse to many beginners.
1t has given them dwarf bodies, Door
layers and weak constitutions. The
poultry farmer cannot afford to take
such risks.-Poultry Farmer.

Among the last acts of the last ses-
sion of the Indiana Legislature was
one making it compulsory to dip all
scabby sheep. The object is to stamp
out this expensive but unnecessary
disease.
Scab is produced by an itch mite,
that causes itching. rubbing. pulling
and shedding the wool, causing bare
and scabby skin. The parasite cannot
live for any great length of time off
the skin, and does not thrive on any
other animal. 1t is therefore possible
to stamp out the disease by killing
all mites by dipping. Solutions of to-
bacco, lime and sulphur and arsenic
are effective for this purpose. The to-
bacco solutions have preference. They
may be made by taking from twenty
TO twenty-five pounds of tobacco leaves
and stems and soaking for one day in
sufficient water to cover Then boil
for an hour and draw off after six
hours. Dilute to 100 gallons. Add
twenty pounds of sulphur and use
while warm. The lime and sulphur
dip may be made by Stacking eight
pounds of lime In some water. adding
twenty-four pounds of sulphur and di-
lutte to 100 gallons. 1t is troublesome
to prepare the tobacco solution and
is about as cheap to buy the extract
ready for use. The lime and sulphur
dip is injurious to the wool. 1t requires
on an average one and half gallons
of dip solution Ter head for more than
twenty-five head. The second dipping
is necessary at the tenth day, so that
the cost for material must be reckoned
at about five cents to seven cents per
head. The coal tar or creolin dips are
excellent for ticks, but not as effective
as they should be for scab.-New Eng
land Farmer.

Decent ROADS Not Dear.

AS a rule the actual cost of the decent
roads is not appreciably larger than
that of the bad ones. The money is
used in one case and wasted In the
other. The plan suggested would not
increase, as we understand 1t, the
amount collected for roads. 1t would
simply secure an immensely better
return for 1t. And this return would
be in the definite shape of economy
and profit for the residents of the towns
as well as for the community general
ly. 1t has been estimated that i'm
provement in roads steadily used
which should save only ten per cent
of the wear and tear of horses and
wagons and of the time of men EN-
ployed, would save to the average
farmer from $50 to 500 a year.
1t is not at all unreasonable TO infer
that the plan proposed would effect
such an Improvement. AS 1t would
not cost the country residents cent
more in expenditure, it ought to be
popular, If it is once understood.
