Root Obstruction In Drains.

AS far as known, the roots of grasses,
grains and annual field crops do rot
obstruct underdrain, but this is not the
case with some trees. Among them
are the willows, water elm, tamarack
and sometimes the soft maple, which
In Il short time will fill the drain with
a mass Of root hairs, even when they
are growing fifty feet distant from
the line of the DRAIN Some field drains
under ordinary conditions contain no
water during considerable portion of
the growing season. Those drains
which are fed by springs or have a
continual flow through them are more
subject to obstruction from the roots
of trees than drains which are dry for
a part Of the year.
Where there is reason to suspect that
there will be difficulty with tree roots
the joints of the tiles near the trees
should he securely cementcd. 1t is safe
to say that al willows and water elms
growing within fifty feet of any tile
drain should be destroyed irrespective
Of the flow of water In the drain.

AUTUMN COLT OR CALF.
1t Has Decided Advantage Over One
born in the Spring.

| 1t Has Decided Advantage Over On.
born in the Spring.
In my opinion, the autumn colt o
calf has a decided advantage over on,
born In the spring Of the year, says Z
z. lockwood in the Breeders Ga
zette 1t is almost certain to excel IL
size and thriftiDess ut six months, and
this for several reasons. The summer
Is very trying to any young ANNA
unless 1t has more than ordinary care
Pastures are often not Of the best
flies torment, and the heat Is debilitat
ing.
Take the case of colt fOaled in the
fall. October is good month for this
The dam has finished her summers
work and can be kept in a loose stall
with small yard or paddock for ex-
ercise after winter sets in. II turned
on pasture with her spring foal, she
will not get as good nOurishing food as
she will In winter. and without that in
abundance no foal will attain best
growth and development. Then, too.
the young things soon learn to eat grain
where the dam is regularly fed and
should have their own ration Of ground
oats as soon as they are old enough
to nibble it.
AS wild as d hawk" Is usually the
condition of the weanlng colt If it has
been at pasture all summer. When 1t
Is In the barn and has q chance to be-
come acquainted with the family, 1t
will be tame and easily handled from
the very first.
The advantages Of the autumn calf
are not less evident. The average calf
pasture is a delusion--a place grown
up to burdOcks and mayweed, often
with nothing to break the heat of the
sun, where the poor creatures are DOOM
ed to stay and fight flies all summer
The winter calf escapes all this. In
box stall, which need not be large.
1t can eat clover hay or silage and
have its grain regularly, only little,
to be sure. but just as essential to
growth and development as II the guam
tity were measured by quarts instead
Of handfuls. 1t Is not wearing itself
out fighting flies, and the chances are
that the milk Il receives will be In bet
ter condition than it would be in sum-
mer.
To be sure, 1t means a little extra
work. The stables must be cleaned |
and kept well Uttered with straw, but
there is usually plenty Of time for this
In winter. 1t does man good to get
acquainted with his stock, and the
greater the amount of care bestowed
ON it the better the results. The way
those winter calves grow will be very
gratifying. and when the time comes
TO turn them on pasture they will be
sleek and fat. far ahead of calves at
the same age dropped in the spring
and kept OH grass. If only all farm
.rs realized the Importance Of keeping
Toung stock growing there would be
ever stuntcd colts, calves and pigs.

coachman smacked his whip, and the
horses Immediately set out, moving
their legs In natural manner. When
the carriage reached the edge of the
table II turned on right angle and
proceeded along that edge till ii arrlv.

some time she again courtcslcu and re-

resumed his place, the coachman whip

FREE FROM DUST.

Highways Rendered DustIess I,
France by Use of Tar.
y recent official report of the depart
ment OF bridges and roads in Franc,
shows the continuance OF the good re-
suits obtained in rendering roads free
from dust by coating the surface with
tar.
The engineer for the Seine and Marine
departments reports that after an un
successful trial of mixture Of oil
and petroleum a coating of tar was In
the summer of 1902 laid down on seven
different lengths OF road. After care
fully observing these during n period
Of twelve months he finds that dust
and mud have wholly disappeared, and
the cost Of maintenance of the roads
has been considerably reduced.
Further comparing the previous out
lay on the roads with that Of those
with tarred surface, he says: ut mp
pears that the tarring method require.
no greater outlay and at the same time
very considerably improves the conli-
ton Of the roadway. In La Cher two
lengths Of the Chausee Rationale were
coated with tar in June and August Of
1902.
Both these experiments have been
entirely successful. the road now beng
covered with an elastic skin. while the
sound of foot DassenQers' tread IL muf-
fled. and horses and draft oxen require
only one-half the effort they put forth
before. The noise and vibration caused
by vehicular traffic are much reduced
and neither dust nor mud IL formed on
the tarred surface

CONVICTS BUILD ROADS.
Employment of Prisoners ON n Texas
COunty's Hfghways.

County's Highways.
There seems to be no reason why
states, counties or cities should sup
port In idlcness those who have broken
the law, and especially those who are
serving but short term i'll some minor
institution. says the Municipal Journal
and Engineer. Organized labor has
made strenuous efforts to prevent the
employment Of convicts in the manu-
facture Of goods that will compete
with free labor, but there Is q way by
which cOnyicts may be employed to
advantage and at the same time not
compete with free laborers. The man
who is serving term of a month or
year is a different proposition from
one who is sent to the state peniten-
tiary for long term.
Dallas county, Tex, has been using
these short term men Oh Its roads. and
they are returning to the county more
than it costs to support them. An act
of the legislature in 1895 authorized
the building of roads by the labor Of
county convicts. The county of Dali
las is divided into four districts, each
one In charge Of special road COM
missioner. The act provides that
roads are to be constructed as nearly
as possible east, west, north and
south from the city. When these
roads have been constructed, the act
provides further that four other roads
are TO be built to the border of the
county as nearly midway between the
frst ones as is practicable. Then there
are to be others between the roads al
ready built, and In the end Dallas is
to have series of roads that will con-
verge toward the city.
All convicts who are physically able
to perform labor must work Oh the
county roads. The work Is to be under
the supervision Of competent super
ntendent. and the work done must be |

"WhO is the greatest restaurateur In

the man who can tell today how many
people he will have to feed tomorrow"
There Is one house downtown where
an average of 400 mouths are fed daily.
But one day there may be 500 and an
other 100. Where is the barometer that
is to tell beforehand, in time for orders
to butcher. baker and candlestick max
er. pretty nearly the number that must
be provided for on the morrow? II
there are 800 today shall enough food
for 800 be ordered for tomorrow? If
So and only 100 come, what is to be
done with the surplusage of meats,
Jegctables. bread, etc.? And if $50
come today and food for $50 is ordered
for tomorrow. what is to become Of the
management when 500 come on the
morrow and the larder is empty? The
man who can estimate on Monday the
probable business of Tuesday is worth
$4,000 year to any big restaurant.

VOlTAlRE AND ROUSSEAU.
Pointed Jokes That Passed Between
the Two Authors.

the TWO AUTHORS.
Noltaire and Rousseau, though OH
friendly terms. were in the habit of
firing off pointed jokes at one another.
One day Rousseau was dining with
Voltaire, and oysters were brought on
the table, for. as somebody has remark
ed, no dinner could be complete with
out them. The author of Emile" aft
er helping himself pretty freely. made
the somewhat injudicious remark:
IL am sure | could eat as many oys-
tiers as Samson slew Philistines"
with the same weapon!" (the jaw
bone of an ass) slyly inquired voltaire.
Rousseau did not soon forget the lit
tie joke at his expense and sought an
opportunity for revenge. Not long aft
erward Voltaire called at his house
during his absence. The door being
open. lie walked into the library, and,
finding all the books thrown about in
confusion and covered with dust. he
traced on one of them the word go
chon" pig with his finger. Next day
he met Rousseau and said to him:
