Dustless Road in View.

Prospects of a dustless roadbed
without the use of oil or cut stone is
pleasing officers of the Illinois Cen.
trail road. Though gravel is con.
coded to make the easiest riding
roadbed, its dust feature has made it
a nuisance, General Manager Rawn,
of the Illinois Central, and his as
sistant, MI. Fritch, have made a find
in the way of dustless gravel. Re
Gently the company began taking
gravel out of the Mississippi River at
the Memphis bars. The gravel, being
washed for centuries, is free from
soil, the only thing Oh it is sand and
all but twenty-five per cent. OF this
is washed off after it is taken from
the river. The first of this new q
last is being used on the Yazoo &
Valley line. It is clear and clean as
a crystal, and must ever be dust
less. The Illinois Central will ex.
tend the new-found ballast over all
lines of the system, giving it an cas-
riding, and at the same time a dust
less roadbed:-Buffalo Courier.

Concentrates For Cows.

T. D. H, Glade Spring, Va, writes:
I have two Jersey cows, two years
old, and have been feeding them clo-
yer hay and top fodder for rough
ness AT night I have been cutting
up a portion of this feed and mixing
with it one-half gallon of chop with
shorts left in) per head. AS a morn
ing feed / wish to use wheat bran
and cottonseed meal, and would like
to know the best proportions and the
quantity to use. These cows will
calve in May, and are now giving
about one and a half gallons of milk
per head per day. Is there any dam
ger of producing abortion by over
feeding above? Would also like to
know the best food to give a sig
months'-old standard bred colt to Sc
cure best development, regardless of
cost.
Answer-Good clover hay and top
fodder will furnish suitable forms of
roughness for dairy cows. Give them
all they will eat of this mixture, and
you can thereby save a little on the
concentrates, particularly as clover
hay contains quite a high per cent.
of digestible protein, and supplies
the cow with one of the necessary
elements of nutrition, in a cheaper
form than you a. purchase it
through concentrates.
You speak Of the meal you are
now giving as one-half gallon of chop
with the shorts left in. I am at a
loss to know what you mean by this.
Chop may be made up of a great va
rfety of things. If you mean bran
and middlings, for instance, you are
only giving the COW a little over one
and a half pounds of grain at a feed.
This is a very little ration for cows
giving the amount of milk men
toned. It is much better to feed
animals by weight, or at least to
have a measure with marks along
the sides 81 you can tell at a glance
when o are giving a pound OF a
given foodstuf. A measure of this
kind can be purchased for a few
cents and some streaks OF red paint

Making siIage.

II any of you have had doubts
about the use Of ensilage in Florida,
you can have them put to rest by
mer as published in the Rural New
Yorker:
I have been feeding silage for the
I past eighteen years, and have had
no trouble in preserving it. I am
now using two underground silos,
with a combined capacity of 165
tons. I have tried several different:
crops for filling, such as cow peas,
velvet beans, and kaf1r-corn. They
all kept we'll and made a fair quality
of silage, but 1 think that IL point
of economy and quality of feed,
there is nothing to compare with
| fodder corn. The corn should be
cut when the grain begins to glaze,
or al Southern farmers will un-,
derstand best, when the fodder is
ready to pull, which Should be about
the last of July or the first of Au-
gust. However, it is seldom that we
can wait quite this late, as the corn
begins to fire, and unless there is
sufficient rain to keep the lower
leaves green there will be more loss
than gain by waiting. Sometimes in
a very dry season we have to cut
before the corn quite reaches the
roasting ear stage. There is but n
| special precaution necessary to keep
silage in this or any other climate,
and that is to pack thoroughly, and
if your silo be square, special care
must be taken in packing the sides,
ends and corners. .
/ have never fed silage later than
July 15, though I see no reason why
it should not keep all summer. How
ever, we do not need silage here
after June /, as there are 81 many
green crops that can be fed direct
from the field. I do not consider
that there is any DON for compare
son between silage and dry fodder
for this locality, as owing to our IN
certain climate it is impractical to
shock III corn.-R. f. McBradfordy

Public Roads in Alabama.

In 1904 there were 5O,OSo miles OF
nublic road in the State Of Alabama.
Of this mileage, 1261.5 miles were
surfaced with gravel, 1929 miles with
stone, fifty miles with shells, twelve
miles with sandclay mixtures, and foul
miles with ebert and Stag, making in
ALI 1920 miles of improved road. Il
will be e from these figures that "a
Der cent. of the roads has been i'm:
proved. By comparing the total road
mileage with the area Of the State, II
appear that there was OF OF a mile
of public road per square mile OF area.

The Autumn season is coming
more and more to be recognized as a
most suitable time for house-paint-
ing.
There is no frost deep In the wood
to make trouble for even the best JOB
of painting. and the general season
ing OF the Summer has put the wood
irto good condition in every way.
The weather.. moreover. Is more like
ly to be settled for the necessary
length OF time TO allow all the coats
to thoroughly dry-a very Important
precaution.
An old and successful painter said
to the writer the other day:
House owners would get more
for their money II they would allow
their painters tQstake more time, es-
pecially between coats. Instead of
allowing barely time for the surface
to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,'
several days tweeks would not be
too muehl should be allowed SO that
the coat might set through and
through. It is announcement, of
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight Inconvenience. it would add
two or three years to the life Of the
paint.
"All this is assuming, Of course.
that the paint used is the very best
to be had-thea purest OF white lead
and the p~urestSof linsead oil, un-
mixed with any cheapener. If the
cheap mixtures, often known as
White Lead and oil which has been
doctored with fish oil, benztne, corn
oil. or other of the adulterants
known to the trade, are usedS all the
precautions of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peelingawhfchmake houses Hnsightly
in a year OF. 50 and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.
THE house owner should have his
painter bring the Ingredients to the
premises separately-white lead OF
some well-known, reliable brand and
linseed oil Of equal quality and
mix1the paint Just before applying
it."
Painting need not be expensive and
unsatisfactory If the old painters
suggestions are followed.

WinterEeedingvs VS.. Enishing,on Grass

WinterEeeding VS.. Finishing on Grass
B. =. j. Carlisle. writes: I have a
bunch OF t~wenty-nine calves averag-
ing forty pounds. I have plenty Of
cowpea hay and 1000 bushels of corn
for the wintering and will have plen-
ty of blue grass andr clover pasture

table Ito put these calves on full
feed or keep them over and grass

Eten? sEsssa a. .E
Answer-It is quite Impossible to
advise what is the best policy to pur-
u with regard to feeding a bunch
of calves or holding them over dur
ing the winter and finishing on grass.
There are so many cattle going on
the market in the fall of grass that
it seems sometimes that the better.
policy would be to feed them during
the winter so as to keep them grow
ing and in good condition and put
them on grass for two or th1ee
months and finish them in June or
july while the pastures are still.
good and the cattle can be fattened
with a minimum amount of grain.
This saves the pastures during the
hot, dry weather of summer, which
Is a matter worth considering. OF
course, cattle can generally be
finished cheaper on grass than in the
stall. The season hassa material In
1uence and the price: of land is also
an important factor. In sections of
the country where hay is high priced
meadows car often be used for hay
production to advantage. One &C
Qsainted with local conditions can
figure out these matters and deter
mine the best policy to pursue.
Blue grass and clover make an
ideal pasture. If the land is rich one
shoufdTmake as much as 30Q>to 400
pounds OF gain on good, growthy
heifers during the grazing season.
To do this you need to reserve one
to three acres of land for each ami
NAL. When you figure up the rent
or taxes on this land and it's value if
allowed to produce hay 1t will not be
hard to tell whether it is better to
finish the heifers with the feed you
hoN al CAOA1 ONCI LIZ 6uul11SI.
If you feed them this winter you
should be able to make them grow
right along with plenty Of cowpea
hay and corn and cob meal mixed
with cottonseed meal, gluten meal or
linseed meal. Mix the feeds in equal
parts. If you have some shredded
stoVer or other dry roughness, feed
as much of it as they will consume
along with ten to fifteen pounds of
cowpea hay. Cattle fed on dry foods
should take to grass kindly, and 1t
will not be necessary to feed them
much If any grain when the early
sap gets out of the grass. Cattle fed
as suggested should put on a good
deal of flesh and not so much fat,
and should be in ideal condition to
take on sap" as the saying is, when

quart of wheat bran weighs about
one-half pound, and a,quart of cot

still, If you can get some corn and
cob meal make a mixture of equal
parts. This ration may be fed to
your cows at the rate of one to one

A standard bred colt should be fed

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force For the Day.

Everything goes wrong IL the
breakfast lies in your stomach like a
mud pie. What you eat does harm
if you can't digest tit turns to poi
son.
A bright lady teacher found this
to be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast Of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago I contracted a
very annoying form of indigestion.
My stomach was in such condition
that a simplebreakfast of fruit, toast
and egg gave me great distress.
81 was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up and
found a great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year I have held to this
course, and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
81 have been a teacher for several
years and find hat my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving of ner-
roQs force for the entire day. My
gain of ten pounds in weight also
uses me to want to testify to the
value of Grape-Nuts.

Oil in Making Roads.

The use of oil in road making was
tried with some success in experiments
at Jackson. Tenn. The best results
were obtained with heavy, natural oils,
which were applied while hot, peins
heated on the cart by steam, using
about one-third gallon per square yard.
The road material and the oil formed
a mixture something like concrete,
which produced little dust, and proved
quite desirable, also reducing the noise
of traffic. The coating is about one
eighth thick. The experiments, Delng
very recent, are not yet regarded as
complete with regard to the lsstiDs
effects Of the oil
