Cement ON the Farm.

Cement is growing fast in favor and
displacing wooden structures of all de-
scriptions. Even on the farm cement
floors for stables, pens, walks, cellars,
dairy rooms, ETC., are coming to be rec
pgnlzed us essentials where cleanliness
and the best sanitary conditions are
desired. They are far more lasting,
cleaner, and therefore more desirable

Fairy Rings.

that circle called the fairy ring. Be

II ones owls are confined during the
summer some plan should be devised
so that they may have an hour or Two
OH grass at night, even though it re.
quires the time of one person to keep
them from getting into mischief. II
this can not be arranged, then have IT
part of some ones business to see that
an abundance Of freshly cut grass is
thrown to the fowls each night. The
grass from the work of the lawn
mower is best for this purpose, for II
is short enough for the fowls to swal
low. Before this grass is thrown into
the yard space should be cleared so
that the grass will not be solled. The
importance Of this daily green food for
fowls In confinement can not be ig-
nored, for 1t is almost impossible to
keep the fowls in good laying condi-
ton and especially expect them to be
good layers in the fall without a con-
siderable quantity of green food dur
ing the summer. To furnish a little
variety in this line save the vegetable
tops and chop them fine, all mixed to-
gether, and feed them while fresh and
green, each day.

that forty seven million, or two-ffths Ct

about fifty-two million; In 1901, fifty

The Hessian Fly-Our Oldest Pest.
Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the Oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that its
name was given 1t as a result of the
fact that 1t was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the
impedimenta of the Hessian troops
sent over against the American revo-
iutionists by George III. In 1778. 1t
was first noticed on Long Islaad,
about one hundred and twenty-five
years ago, and since has spread co-ex-
tenslvely with the progress of civiliza-
ton and wheat growing West, North
and South. Sometimes 1t completely
destroys the growing wheat in certain
sections, and the average loss 1t causes
is about forty million bushels annually,
or about six or seven per cent Of tlle
total crop. The chronological Bureau
has studied 1t long and closely, and the
recommendations made to wheat grow
ers have undoubtedly kept the damage
far below what 1t would otherwise
have been; and yet, in spite of the best
efforts of the scientists and the farm.

This new profession was first recog-

Rhode Island College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, when, In the au-
tumn Of 1904, 1t adopted full four
years. course In highway engineering,
for the completion of which the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science is given.
Two of the senior class of the present
year have taken the course and have
qualified as highway engineers. The
course is attracting considerable at
tention and has the cordial endorse
ment of the best highway experts Of
the country. There can be no doubt
of the need of good highways and of
the future demand for men who are
thoroughly trained as highway enS-
ncers. The course offered by the Rhode
Island College is practical as well as
theoretical, and graduates will be pre-
pared to fill satisfactorily the positions
which are sure to open.-American
