Cost of an Improved Road.

Replying to an inquiry in the Ga
Zette as to the cost per mile of six
inch gravel road surface laid with
roller. S. c. Lancaster, of Madison
county, Tenn, referring to some road
laid IN that locality, says: Part of
the material used comes from south
ern illinois, and part of it has been
obtained on the Tennessee river, about
so miles east of us. A 12-foot road,
with gravel laid six inches in the CEN
ter and four inches op the side, after
rolling complete, costs. approximately,
So, 900 per mile. This varies somewhat
with the nature of the grading and
the distance the material is hauled by
wagons. This season we are arrang-
ing to haul our material from the cars
to the roads with traction engines and
especially constructed steel cars. and
we expect to reduce the cost consider
ably over team hauling. and hope to
be able to build a 12-foot road for ap-
proximately $1,000 where the grading
does not exceed $500 per mile.

NOTES FOR BUTTER MAKERS
To Secure Satisfactory Results Cows
Must Be Well Fed and Utensils
Kept Clean.

Keep dairy cows in a good pasture;
give them plenty of pure water to
drink; give them plenty of pea vine
and other nutritious bays, and about
five pounds of cottonsecd meal per day.
Keep the COW and everything used
in the dairy clean.
Strain the milk through two thick
nesses of cheese cloth as soon as
MIXED. Skim by means of a separa-
tor. Put the cream i2to a r%efrigera-
tor where the temperature is As de-
grees. When the cream is sufficiently
sour, strain through a wire-gauze
strai:ier into a barrel or box churn.
Add sufficient butter color to give the
butter a nice straw color. Use a dairy
therE ometer at all TINES and have the
temperature of the cream at about Sc
degrees in the summer and 60 degrees
in the winter. Do not fill the churn
over cne-third full. Revolve the churn
crank just fast enough to cause the
cream to fall from n side of the
churn to the other with full force.
Stop the churn as Dol as the butter
particles are about the size of wheat
kernels. Draw off the butter milk and
wash the butter first in cold brine and
then 10 cold clear water. Remove the
butter from the churn, add an ounce
of salt for every pound and work I'M
til the salt is evenly distributed

. G STEP FORWARD.
The General Introduction OF the Tele-
phone Has Proved Of Consider
able Profit to Farmers.

The time is not far distant when
nearly every farmer will have a tele-
phone in his house, to be used, not
only in his business, but for conyen-
fence and pleasure as well. About five
years ago the wholesale introduction of
the phone in the agricultural district
commenced, and now 1t is considered
an essential part of farm equipment by
at least a half-million farmers. 1t Is
particularly useful to large farms and
cattle ranges and to the truck farmers
heal the large cities and in the south.
The advantages are many, and the cost
is slight, The telephone enables the
farmer to keep in closer touch with the
markets than even the daily papers
permit. He is thus able to take adj
vantage of a rising market n send
on his produce or stock, or hold on in
the face of declining prices. Out in
Illinois last year buyers from outside
began to clean up the broom corn at
$50 a ton, when a telephone manager
called up the farmers on his line and
told them the market was rising rapid
ly. The result was that before the
season ended they got $240 per ton for
their crop. The telephone is OF great
benefit in time of danger from frost,
as it enables the farmer to receive the
frost warnings disseminated by the
weather bureau from IL to &c hours
in advance of the threatened freeze.
Information of this kind to be OF value
must be received al the earliest prac-
ticable moment, as it takes time to
prepare to fight frost, and a few hours
delay may mean the loss OF an entire
seasons profits. The telephone on
the American farm has come to stay,
and its advent marks a distinct step
forward.-Midland Farmer.

Late Setting of Strawberries.

1t is certainly best to set strawberry
plants early, yet they can be set at
almost any time during the growing
season. j.. l.. Herbst tells the writer
that he has known strawberry plants
to be set even when they had fruit
on them. The fruit was, of course,
picked off before the plants were put
into the ground. 1t happened to be
a wet season, and the plants grew
all right. AS good success would not
probably have been attained in a dry
season. 1t shows, however, what can
be done when the plants are properly
taken care of, ven when the trans
planting is done out of season. We
do not advise setting out strawberry
beds in the middle of the summer, yet
there may be exceptional cases where
good plants would be available at that
season, and at no other time.-Farm-
ers' Review.

VOTED FOR NATIONAL AID.
Senate Committee Will Report in Fa-
vor of Uncle Sam Helping I'M
prove the Highways.

The friends of national aid to road
improvements have achieved their first
General victory in congress. The sem
ate committee on agriculture has de-
cided to report favorably on the Gal
linger-Latimer bill, which is a dupli-
cate of the bill introduced in the house
by Representative Brownlow. The
vote is reported to have stood SIX to
one in favor of the measure. u
democratic senators, Bate. OF Tennes-
see; Money, of Mississippi; SimmoAs,
of North Carolina, and Latlmer, OF
South Carolina, and two republicans,
Foster, of Washington, and Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, voted for a favorable
report. The only vote in opposition
was that of Senator Proctor, OF Ver-
mont.
Before voting on the bill the COM
mittee adopted several amendments at
fecting the distribution of the road i'm
provement fund among the states.
One. which was insisted upon by Sena-
tor Foster, of Washington. provides
that 500, 900 is to go to each state, and
that the balance is to be divided in
proportion to population. Another
amendment provides that in making
the distribution according to popula-
ton the cities of over 10000 shall not
be counted. This amendment is like
ly to provoke strong opposition, on
the ground of injustice to those states
which contain large cities. 1t will be
charged that this provision amounts
to very much the same thing as
alton without representation"
On the whole, however, this report
must be considered as a great forward
step. and an indication that ultimate
success will be achieved in the near
future.

hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. 70 protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care IN
avoiding exposure and the use OF proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is n settled fact OF
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or n
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Perunn cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States. are protected from colds and

Do Not Fail to Spray.

All fruit trees should be sprayed,
without regard to whether they have
been attacked by insects or disease, or
escaped, as it is less labor to prevent
attacks than to remedy an evil after
it appears. 1t costs more to repair
damage than to ward off danger. In
some states, such as California, spray
ing of trees and vines is enforced by
law. If the grower neglects his duty,
he is considered as one maintaining a
nuisance, and some official is ordered
to spray the orchard and add the cost
to the tax bill of the negligent owner.
