lie Romans In Road building.

1t is a blind people which fixes it's
eyes on the railroad and considers it
the sum OF all transportation, says the
Pacific Monthly. Only second to it are
the wagon roads, and intelligent farm
ing communities ought to appreciate
the tremendous yearly loss to the
whole community in bad roads. Not
only that smaller loads must be hauled,
more trips made, more time taken on
trip and greater wear and tear and
breakage; not only this, but the COM
murity with good solid roads the year
round will Outstrip its rivals in settle
ment and increased values. The Ro-
mans. for military purposes, built
through sparsely settled districts roads
which endure today, and the ever ac-
c0mpanying result was the rapid set
Element of those districts. The railroad
is not the whole thing. Get together,
my countrymen. and mend your ways.
Be Romans; make your roads everlast-
ingly good.

Arc Of brood SOxyS.

The length of time that brood SOW
may be pro1tably kept is determined
by her capacity and power of giving
q regular supply of milk for her young.
Shortly. it may be said that she should
be kept as long as she breeds and milks
well. says American Cultivator. Con-
tinucd selection and retention Of the
best young sows for breeding purposes
is one Of the most effective methods Of
improving herd Of pigs. The opinion
held by many that pigs from the first
litter Of young SOW are inferior to
chose from subsequent filters is not
we'll founded. Quite us good pigs can
be obtained from young SOW, pro-
vided she is well grown before produc-
ing her litter, as from the same SOW at
later date. The keeping of sows for
the production of pigs intended for
sale at an carly age is Il system prac-
ticed by many. Coarse boned, heavy
cared, i'll shaped pigs look larger at the
age Of eight weeks than well shaped
ones. Such animals do not, however,
meet tic requirements Of the trade and
are therefore not SO profitable to the
breeder. Many persons who feed pigs
are of the opinion that animals which
are plump and nicely shaped at an
early age do not grow to good size.
No more mistaken view could possibly
be held.

Truth About NOrmans.

The use of the word Norman as ap-
piled to the draft horse has been COM
mon in the United States for over half
century. This is due largely to the
fact that early importers gave that
name to draft horses brought over
from Normandy, France. However,
there is no such breed in France, and
the use of the word is incorrect. The
PercherOn is a distinct breed and is
so regarded by the French government
and is protected by the government
and stud book association. There are
several other distinct draft breeds In
France, as the Boulonnais, Breton, Pi-
cardy and Potion, but there is no Nor
man breed. Most Of the horses brought
to America from France of the draft
sort are PercherOns, but they are very
often carelessly referred to as Nor
mans OF PcrcherOh- Normans. Horses
Of the draft sort that are from France,
but are not PercherOns, may be regis
tered in the French draft stud book OF
this country, but not in the Percherop
stud book.-Profess0 Plumb, Ohio Sta

Rural Delivery Notes

England has rural mail delivery
daily except TO very distant farm
houses. which are served triweekiy.
The states in the northern part of the
Mississippi valley are the ones in
which the rural free delivery business
has been extended the most. Illinois
leads all other states with 2G0S routes
in operation. Ohio is second with 1892
"Rural free delivery has made a
considerable difference in the amount
of memCrizing that postal ,i3i&s on
Indiana routes have to do" said one
of the number. according to the In
dianapOlis News. Five years ago
there were 2,2J2 poStofices in Indiana
whose names we had to remember.
and now there arc only 1,G94. The re-
duction Of over 800 Offices is due to
the rural free delivery"
Miss Susie NJ. StOltz is the only wo-
man rural mail carrier in Illinois or in
Wabash county, says the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. Miss Stoltz is nineteen
years old. Her home is ct Cards
Point, ten miles northwest of Mount
Carmel. in Wabash county. She has
had route out of Mount Carmel
for the past eighteen months and
in all that time has only missed one
day. That was when she went to a
convention OF rural carriers at Olney.
Miss StoltZ'S route is tWCnty-Siy miles
long. She drives that distance in a
buggy every weekday Of the year. in
sunshine and rain, through flood ana
mud and snow and ice.

Weight of the Ram.

The weight Of n ram is not very
sure guide as to his real worth, writes
a correspondent of Rural New Yorker.
l have seen many good sires so fat as
to be almost worthless. A mature
sheep in good stock condition should
weigh from 175 to $50 pounds. He
should have good, strong, not very
heavy legs; be square on the rump and
shoulders, with good breast, head
not over large, bright eye and, above
all, he active. A little oats and linseed
meal fed daily to him during the time
he is in service will improve beth him
and his offspring. ~

Gaze of Laying Hens.

Keep the bone mill busy all winter,
SAYS Country Gentleman. Grind up
every scrap of meat, bone, dry bread
and provisions Of all kinds that poul-
try will eat into small pieces and feed
TO them. This helps to provide the
animal food so prevalent in summer
and so scarce in winter. This is the
nrotein that aids so greatly in tho
winter egg production. 1t is always
profitable TO save all such waste and
food it TO the fowls after passing it
through the bone cutter. Nothing will

After mating the SOW should have
more heterogeneous ration than the fat

clover hay daily, and it is surprising
how much OF this hog will eat. Keep

Hog Pointers.

The hog is a thrifty animal when fed
on the dairy wastes with a little grain
added.
Unless SOW is unusually well fed,
she will hardly come in heat while
sucking her pigs.
Usually the hog will thrive best that
will squeal for his feed at the regular
feeding times.
The thrift and condition of the moth
er determine to great extent what
the pig will be.
Beauty in form and appearance is
not safe Indication of the value of
SOW as breeder: .,
The quality of a sOw's pigs when she
is old determines when her days Of
usefulness are over

am sure he has only to interest himself
and the good roads will come very
quickly. 1t is not only for automobilists

The tires were one and fve-eighths
ana three and onc-eighth inches wide.
On Il Wei drained earth road of good
grade the traction with wide tires was
& little higher with Slushy SNOW, and
while the frost WAS coming out and ut
Other times II ranged twenty pounds
less to the same figure as with mar
row tires. ON Il badly drained earth
road with poor grades, subjected to
heavy travel, thc wide tires required
less traction than the others in dry
weather and more when there was
mud.
On well built, we'll drained gravel
'OaI the narrow tires required less
.rGct.Jn except when lie surface was
u,ct or covered with loose gravel. On
n road Of fine sand with its surface
fiat with the ground the wide tires re-
quircd less pull i'll every case. On
well Grained gravel road with clay
binder the traction with narrow tires
was lower than that with wide tires
only when the surface was smooth and
dry. and about the same facts were
observed with experiments on a well
drained cinler road under heavy
travel.

United States Consul Horton is re-
SponSiblc for the statement made in q
recent report TO the bureau of COM
merc2 and labor that newly discov-
cred substance, which boasts of an
Gent Greece as its place Of origin and
is known by the name of "akOnia,' Is
quite as effective as oil as dust pre-
vcntive on roads and has the addition
a. advantage of being much cheaper
rs well as not possessing the objection
able characteristic of the latter, says
the Chicago News. The new material
viii be used extensively il the auto
raciIS same, experts say.
Writing from Piraeus, Greece, Mr..
Horton says that the mayor of that
city is authority for the statement that
one ton of akona dissolved in 800 gal
Ions of water will sprinkle thirty foot
roadway for half mile so effectively
that no dust whatever will arise
from it. either through the wind or
travel AS employed there, a second
coat is administered fifteen days after
the first. the composition of this dose
being Onc-fOurth of q ton of ak0nia dis
solved in 400 gallons of water.
The solution is said to form an inn
ncrviouS coating over the surface Of
the roadway.

Value of Coed Roads to Property.

The question do good roads pay"
is being continually demonstrated by
such facts as this, taken from a FlOri-
da paper: j. c. Sloth. the real estate
broker. could have bought a certain
tract of LAID few months ago at 5000.
An object lesson" road was built in
the locality. and he was authorized by
a client to pay 5000 for it, but found
when he made his tender that it had
just been sold for $1,000 The value
had been enhanced by an amount sufil-
cient to pay for half 4 mile of i'm
proved road. and the gain on value of
half Il mile of abUtt;nG property at the
same rate would pay for ten miles Of
good roads at the same cost.

IItteninr Fowls.

In fattening fowls for market much
Is gained through combining them In
small yards, with house to live in.
If confined in this way for two weeks,
fed heavily on rich fatteniDg food and
furnished plenty Of water and grit,
they will gain surprisingly in weight
and condition of flesh. All this is to
the advantage of the seller, as the
plumper and more attractive the car
cases the higher price they will bring
in the market.-Country Gentleman
