Value of Good Roads.

After careful inquiry it has been
found that the average haul Of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station is twelve miles, and the
average cost Of hauling over the COM
mon country roads is % cents ton
per mile, or So a ton for a tWelvemile
haul, says Portland OregOnian. An
estimate places the total tons hauled
at 3OO,OOO,OO0 a year. On the estimate
Of So a ton for twelve miles this would
make the total cost Of getting the sur
plus products Of the farm to the local
market or to the railroad no less than
$9OO,0O0-a figure greater than the
operating expenses Of all the railroads
Of the United States. If anything could
make an argument for good wagon
roads this statement surely may.

Feeding Floor for Hogs.


When one has number Of hogs to
feed the trough is not always the best
thing to use for the purpose, for the
swine are apt to break it down or else
are unable to get the food fast enough
to suit them, and so get to quarreling.
One Of the best methods of feeding is
large pan or floor made Of cement
and rough logs; this may be Of any
dimensions desired, although it is best
made just wide enough SO that the ami
mails can feed from both sides, which
will accomplish much in the way of
keeping them out Of it with their feet.
Make the frame of rough lumber or Of
logs cut in half and some six or eight
inches high.
Fasten this frame securely at the
corners and also fasten securely to the
floor so that the swine will not root it
up. Then make a floor inside of &C.
ment, not making it very thick, but Of
about the same grain as would be
used for a stable floor. If desired the
frame may include a board floor over
which the cement floor is laid The
edge will prevent the corn from being
pushed aside and trampled upon. 1t is
not intended to use this feeding floor

WinterinE Fall Calves.

If the calf is worth carrying through
the winter it is certainly worth caring
for properly and by properly is meant
good food and water and proper care.
If the calf is strong and healthy it
ought to pay we'll for the best atten-
ton that can be given it; first Of all it
needs a dry, clean place, not warmed
by artificial heat, but as warm as lack
Of draughts in comfortable stable
will make it. The early days Of the
calf, just after weaving, are Of great
Importance to it and too much care
cannot be taken to see that the milk
given it is absolutely fresh and pure
and fed in proper quantities.
AS rule, the calf will properly take
care Of eight pounds Of milk per day,
which amount can be gradually in
creased until at month old it is con-
Stunning twelve pounds daily. About
this time it ought also to become in
terested in hay and after a while will
begin chewing it's cud A calf built I'D
in this manner during the winter will
be in excellent shape to turn out to
pasture In the spring and get most of
it's living until fall, when you will have
a splendid animal, one you will be
proud to add to your herd.

Proper Storage of Apples


To decide properly to which kind of
storage the grower or buyer shall send
his fruit requires the best Of judgment,
for many factors must be considered in
making the choice and upon their just
balancing will depend, to quite an eX-
tent, the profit or loss in handling the
crop. Growers, generally, are more in
terested in storage this year, probably
than usual. To all growers, to those
who usually hold more or less of their
fruit for winter sale or home use, and
to the buyers who must plan for the
best keeping Of the purchased fruit,
the bulletins Of the agricultural expert
ment stations will be Of interest and
value. One Of these discusses critically
the factors which influence the keep
ing quality Of apples, as ascertained
through many years experience at the
station or by correspondence and in
terviews with the leading apple hand
lers of the country. 1t also gives de-
tailed results of the storage Of 165 va
r1etieS Of apples, in the ordinary tenn
perature room Of the station fruit stOr-
age house, or in a cold storage build
ing, with notes upon most Of the varie-
ties as handled by practical storage

DYNAMITE IS
REVENGE'S TOOL.
DELTON (WIS.) MANS PLACE is
BLOWN UP AS A CLIMAX TO
RUMOR.
Not a Glass Window in the Place Left
Intact and Postofice Front
Is Demolished.

! BARABOO, Wis, Nov. pa Special. !
There is not whole glass window in
the no-license town of Delton, near here,
this morning.
A terrific explosion of dynamite last
night blew up Jerry Bresnahan's build
ing in that village 1t is said the act
was one of revenge, and to punish the
alleged operation of blind pig" in
Delton.
Little Evidence Is Left.
1t is stated in a telephone message
from Delton today that Bresnahan was
accused by villagers of running blind
pig" The truth or opposite of this allie
cation had not been determined. Bres-
nahan denies it and there is nothing left
now that would conclusively show evil
dence for or against him.
No One Is Injured
While the building in which Bresna-
han was keeping store was almost COM
pletely wrecked, and while the postoffice
front across the street was demolished
and windows in every part Of the place
shlvered to bits by the impact of the
explosion, it is said that no one was in
jured.
Many we're seyerly shaken up, how
ever, and other buildings besides those
named suffered more or less damage
Delton established no-license by cleo
ton some time ago and the village folks
have guarded their cause as we'll as
possible. Not a licensed saloon has
been running in the place for a long
time, comparatively.
Ru1Dors Have a Climax.
Rumors stirred the town within the
past week or more, that a blind pig was
being operated within its limits The
explosion last night was the stirring
climax.
The full amount of the damage done
has as yet not been determined. 1t may
be some days before this is done, and
meanwhile telephone messages and ru-
mors are the only information obtainable
as to the exact nature of the startling
occurrence.
Delton is a little village on the Dell
river in Sank county, ten miles north Of
BarabOO, and three miles from KilbOurn
City. 1t has a population of about $50
inhabitants. 1t is noted as summer
resort and hundreds Of wealthy Chica-
goans make their homes there

Comfort in the Hog House.

In repairing our hog houses we
found that roll Of building paper and
one Of tarred paper were the best in
vestments we had made in some time;
the one was used on the walls and the
other on the roof so that much more
expensive repairs were saved. Then
we found 1t was policy to arrange the
sleeping corner in such a way that it
was impossible for it to get any Of the
filth or the wet which the swine gath
cred during the day. It was placed SO
that none Of the slop got into it and
about the only way it got soiled was
when the swine trampled through it
with their muddy feet. Even then by
taking it out into the sun each day it
made a good bed for a number Of
nights. A hog is a strange animal,
stubborn, Of course, but it will not long
muss it's bed if the latter is clean and
comfortable. Much Of the nastiness Of
hogs is due to the neglect of their
owners. We also arrange the sleeping
corner SO that it is out Of the draft,
although the house is properly venti-
lated; as result there are few If any
cases of chills and colds among our
swine. All this extra good care means
healthy swine. It is not we'll to work
On the plan that if the hogs escape
cholera they are doing well.-Ex-
