The most extensive application Of
crude petroleum in the United States
for the purpose indicated has been
made by the railroad companies. but
several of them have expressed their
determination to discontinue its use
for various reasons, one Of which is
that the fine soot-like particles which
arise from the roadbeds wherein it is
spread are extremely Objectionable. In
California crude petroleum has been
employed freely during the past year

Live stoek in Winter.

1t is after the harvest is over and all
work finished that the farmer turns his
attention to caring for his stock ana
Increasing his manure. There are two
classes OF animals to consider while
endeavoring to derive profit. the one
class being the producers of milk. but
ter, meat or wool. while the other class
consists OF the immature or growing
stock. With the wonderful improve
ment in dairy methods the farmer
utilizes the winter season much better
than formerly. as the period was when
the cold season was considered a loss
of time; but at present large number
OF animals can lie kept with less
labor, greater variety Of food is
given and more care is exercised In the
preservation of manure The foods
given to the animals now have a value
not before accorded. as the profit does
not depend entirely on the product
sold, but also upon that portion re-
turned TO the farm in the form Of
manure The farm increases In value
in proportion TO the amount Of fertility
added to the soil through the agency
OF the stock. and this fact Is now
strongly recognized. as many farmers
are satisfied to purchase animals to lie
fattened, realizing no profit therefrom
other than the manure remaining after
such animals are sold, the expenses
and receipts being balanced except
the gain in the manure hcap and the
system pays when the Improvement Of
the soil is considered Philadelphia
