At all the sugar refining plants the
molasses has always been a waste
product in a large sense. 1t has been
used for fuel and for the making Of
roads, while endless quantities of it
have been dumped as garbage With
in a few years the value of molasses as
stock food has been developed. and
some very surprising results have been
obtained II has been found that with
the heavy draft horses of New York
city ration of ten or twelve pounds
Of molasses per day has effected saw
ing of % per cent in the cost of feed
ing such horses. with an added i'm
pr0vement in the general health and
effectiveness of the horse so fed In
some parts OF the south it was most adj
vantageously fed TO mules, reducing
the cost of their keep so per cent. It is
now being used in the northern states
as a mixer for ground alfalfa hay, max
ing an admirable dairy ration for the
milk cow The best inventive genius of
the country is at work on the utiliza-
ton of its products with wonderful
success.

would best be done with one horse and
an implement provided with a goodly
number of small teeth, as shown in the
illustration. The surface of the ground
should be kept free from large ridges
or corrugations, since an uneven sur
face tends to promote too rapid evap-
Grafton of moisture. Implements hav-
ing small teeth enable the operator to
till closely to the plants. The rule in
first tillage is to make every plant
tremble. Then you can hang up the
hoe, for there will be little use for it.
There should be three to five subse-
quent tillages, if timely-that is, so FREE
quent as to prevent weeds from getting
anything but feeble start. T. Rob

4 $4,000 Grange HAN.

Millerton grange, in Duchess county.
is justly proud of its fine hall, which
is said to be the finest building of its
kind in the state. 1t was erected in
1903 at a cost of over $4,000. The
building is located near the center of
the village and is two and one-half
stories high The ground floor contains
store and an opera house, the latter
finished in hard wood and fitted with
$50 opera chairs. The second floor is
all used for grange purposes, being di-
vided into the following rooms: a
grange hall So by 10 feet, dining
room, reception room, mems cloak
room, ladies' cloakroom and kitchen.
The building is heated throughout with
steam and lighted with acetylene gas.
There is hot and cold water ii the toilet
rooms, and in the grange hail there is
a fine piano. The furnishings are in red
and green, and the walls are decorated
with several excellent pictures. On one
corner of the building is a clock tower,
in which is installed a large town clock
which chimes off the hours

Of the road is constantly built up little

the highway secured; the road is per-

take on a perfect form and the rain is
shed from it as water is from ducks
back In year or two there is formed
a gumbo cement crown or crust over
the road from six inches to a foot in
thickness, which is almost impervious
to water, and simply because the wa
Ter cannot penetrate this crust the
road remains good.
The cost of such machine is not to
exceed S. The cost to treat the high
way IN the manner indicated is not to
exceed $3.50 per mile per year. Dirt
and gumbo roads so treated last year
were firm and good roads this spring

quently, after every rain at least. This
prevents the road from getting bad
rather than repairing it after it is bad.
The formation of this puddled cement
ed crust over the road secures distribu-
ton of the travel over it's surface and
prevents the formation Of ruts, which
are always the beginning of future
mudholes.
The most astounding results have
followed the adoption of this method
in Missouri. Whole neighborhoods have
taken it up and secured fine country
roads where before it was not possible
for them to be worse.
The plan prompts the farmer to make
his own drag and operate it on the
highway which borders his farm indie
pendent of road tax or road boss. and
the rewards are so pleasing that he re
CARDS the work as a pleasure Back
and forth over the road about twelve
times during the year does the work
The first years work is the hardest. as
most highways lack conformity to an
oval type This comes little by little,
and the work is easier each succeeding
year.
One of the leading railways of Iowa
was so impressed with the practical
value of this new method of treating
the dirt roads that it organized a good
roads campaign by which the people
on its line have been reached and the
method pyp1aiuad and practica lIv dom
onstrated. The effort met with the
greatest encouragement, and at every
town visited large sums were sub
scribed by the business men to be of
fered as prizes to the farmers who
would care for the roads under this
plan. 1t really looks as though a prac-
teal solution of the problem of max
ing good earth road had been found
at last.

A DIFFICULT CROP.

We are asked about beans as a crop,
whether it pays TO raise them as field
crop. We have grown several acres of
beans each year for the past five years,
yaluing them as a good orchard crop.
They will yield from ten to fifteen
bushels per acre and are one of the
most annoying and difficult crops to
harvest and get ready for market that
we know of. A rainy spell after they
are pulled about spoils the crop. If
planted too early the weevil gets into
them and If too late the frost gets
them. We would advise no man to
grow beans on good corn land and not
to plant them at all unless one has a
piece of land which will not grow any
thing else

University Extension work In ohio


The Ohio state grange is doing Il good
work in university extension by max
ing it possible for farmers sons to
avail themselves of the privileges OF
the courses of study in the College of
Agriculture. State Master F. A. Der
thick has appointed Mrs. Mary E. Lee
of New Plymouth, O., chairman Of this
educational committee. Advisory mem
bers are DR.. w. A. Thompson, presi-
dent of the Ohio State university, and
Professor II. c. Price, dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture. Their duties are
to inaugurate in the subordinate
oranges of the state systematic courses
of study to be conducted under the
general direction of the College of Ag-
riculture. This proposition has at
tracted much attention from the pro-
gressive members of the order in Ohio
and other states and has the approval
of members who desire to make edu-
cation a chief factor in the benefits of
the grange.

Try using single stake for tomato
plants il a trellis or other support is
inconvenient for each plant. Simply
drive stout stake about four feet
long into the ground and set out to-
mato plant at each stake. Nip off the
bottom branches and allow the plant
to grow so as to make its branches near
the top, which will protect the fruit
from rotting Inland Farmer.
