of vita! interest to- them every day in
tn, year. The farmers, until recently,
have been compelled to struggle With
the road problem without muclls help
or encouragement FROM any other
class: Now, however. some strong eSe-
ments OF the city population are rally
ing TO their support. Among these
may be named the manufacturers Of
road beilding machinery; the makers
ard Esers of bicycles and automobiles,
and the lnoneyed men Of the cities who
have money inTested. in the country.
These people are entering into the.
work for road improvement with even
more enthusiasm and zeal than the
farmers. - -
Just now the farmers who want
better roads are brought face to face
with. 4 most important question. VIII
he accept the assistance Of these city
allies? Will he,Eweicome the aid Of
the machinery man, the capitalist, the.
bicyclist and the automobilist? Or.
will he treat them as schemers who
are trying. TO meddle with his af-
fairs?
The answer to these questions ought
to depend on what these city friends
of good roads are proposing to- do. If
they propose toshave the country roads
improved in order to increase their
business, and enhance their pleasures.
wholly at the expense Of the farmer,
then he should spurn the profered
alliance. If, on the contrary, they are
proposing, through State and National
taxation, to lift large part OF the
burden off the farmer and place It
on the taxpayers Of the cities, he ought
to bid them welcome, .and extend the
glad hand.
This is live question for the farmer
to consider and answer. Already the
opponents of State and National aid
are at work trying to SOW seeds OF
suspicion in the minds Of the farmers,
and they will do their best to prevent
any cooperation between the country
and city friends Of good roads.
As matte rof fact, State and Ma
t;onal aid offer the only hope Of gem
eral road improvement, and such aid
can never be secured if the city people
array themselves against it. Unless
the farmers are wholly blind to their
own interests, they will welcome aid
from any and every source, and Will
make every effort to secure the pow
erful aid of the State and Federal
Governments.

The greatest depth from which the
.Albatross has secured any life was
4173 fathoms. This was in the South
Pacific between Tonga and Ellice ISL
ands. The dredge brought up silisious
spongps. radiolarians and brown vol
canic mud. The greatest depth from
which she has brought up fishes is
2949 fathoms. or, about one and third
miles. This was in the edge Of the
Gulf Stream off the coast Of Virginia.
The deepest sounding ever made by
the Albatross was at Station 401O, near
Guam. where the enormous depth OF
4s13 fathoms, or nearly FIVE and half

any vessel was by the q. S. Nero while

Care in Growing Celery.

Z Transplant the celery to the perlna-
nent beds in May or June, placing a
large quantity Of manure i'll the trench.
This crop is one that cannot be sur
feited by too much manure, as it is
one of the grossest feeders known.
The plants mustbe frequently watered,
ssoapsuds being better for such pur-
poses than anything else, and the bed
must be kept as clean and nice as
possible. 1t requires care to have eel
cry that is large. crisp and white. but
then it is valuable crop when grown
and pays we'll for the attention be-
slowed. If you neglected to SOW the
seed you can procure the plants from
seed6men and you should not fail to
have supply.

Depends on the Farmers.


The candid and unprejudieed opinion
OF public man on d question concern
ing which he is we'll qualified to speak
is nearly always Of interest. Such
an opinion concerning the prospect Tor
National Highway legislation was re-
Gently ecured from gentleman who
is a close observer Of men and events,
and who has spent many years at the
National Capital. He said:
I have watched the growth OF the
sc-called good roads movement with
much interest. and especially since
Colonel Brownlow introduced into Con-
gress lis bill providing that the Gov
crnncnt should pay half the expense
OF improving the roads. AS regards
the prospect Of such measure ever
becoming a law, I will say that it all
DEFENDS on the farmers. If the agri-
cultural classes go to work in earnest
fc: Government aid, they will get it;
if they co rot, Congress VIII never en-
acI sccn law. In Government af-
fairs. as in most other affairs, have
noticed that the people who go after
things are the people who get them.
The farmers rs a class receive COM
paraiiy;t:y little serious consideration
from Congress simply because they
cont Cemapl it. Every Congress now
appropriates more than billion dol
lars. but how much of this is spent In
tie rural districts? Almost nothing.
Millions are spent for public buildings
n cities; millions for Improvement OF
rivers and karEo1s; millions for the
army and navy; millions for the Gov
crrn,cnt at Washington, etc. Occa-
sionslly q few thousand dollars so for
something that directly benefits the
farmers, but that is all. OF course
there isn't as much chance to give the
farmers direct benefits from the spend
ing OF public money. But national aid
to road improvement furnishes an
ideal opportunity. It would even up
things to some extent. It would GER
tainfy be big thing for the rural dis
tricts. The money spent would OF
course make good times; but the main
benefit would come from the improve
ment Of the roads. It would increase
the value Of farm lands; it would en-
able the farmers to market their crops
to better advantage; it would make
farm life better worth living. In fact
it would be. a: great permanent bene-
fit.
If any other class of our population
had such an opportunity to enjoy the
fostering care and aid of the Govern
ment, how they would work for IT.
They would give their Senators and
Representatives no rest. But the far
mers as class move more deliberate
ly. They take time to look into the
why's and wherefores, and to consider
all objections. So far as / am able
to learn, the farmers are taking up this
question seriously and in time will
make their influence mos, powerfully
felt. 1 think Congress will be reaGy
to enact q national law whenever there
is a general demand for it from the
Farmers of all sections.

Best Food For Fattening Lambs.

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain. but at
q somewhat greater cost Of feed. Corn
and peas make slightly smaller gain
than the, other feeds. But the differ
ence was so small that the convenience
Of procuring the feed is the largest ele-
ment in the case. AS peas and cats
may be grown together very conyen-
iently and cheaply, this crop secures
some advantages over others which
will give it preference in this re-
gard.

Le~u1nes ON Stock Farms.

In some Delaware tests it was shown
that alfalfa. cowpeas and crimson
clover were great factors in reducing
the concentrated feed bills Of dairy
men and other stockmen. 1t was
shown that the maximum crops Of al
falfa yielded 1870 pounds Of protein
per acre or an equivalent Of IL tons
OF cottcnseed Eeal. The maximum
crops of cowpeas and crimson clover
contained each about 725 pounds of
protein. A crop of clover and one OF
peas may be made into hay annually
from the same acre of land, hence
swhere alfalfa fails to thrive these
crops may be used as 4 substitute

Keep the Best Stock to Ereed From.
Sof. Wood For Ties.

On account of the scarcity of oak,
chestnut and ether hardwood timber
commonly used for railroad ties. rail-
roads have been successfully using the
softer woods. which have been treated
with chemicals such as creosote. Z'ne,
chloride, etc. PreServative treatment
can make beech. red oak or pine tie
outlast white oak tie. The use OF
screw spikes instead of nail spikes en-
ables the soft wood to resist the strain
and hold the rails in place. The use
of soft wood is likely to improve the
market for those grades Of timber suit
able for the purpose.
