suBssstions Which Indiana faswer
Makes as to Their coustuetiea

Makes as t9 neif Iou6t'uctl5H
Here are few suggestions as II
building roads about farm premises.
Under no circumstances throw up any
grade Stake of your road and place
your road material on the surface;
do not disturb the edges. If drain
age is absolutely necessary, use tile;
place from six to eight feet beyond
your road bed. "A yards Of good
gravel or broken stone; this viii make
one rod OF good enough farm road.
Use no powders or other coarse ma
terial, as coarse stun win be worked
to the top by freeze and jar. The
road should be i've or six inches
higher in the center than at the edges.
/ would use fine gravel or very coarse
sand; If sand is used, it should be OF
sharp grit, and free from dirt; It will
require More attention to keep in
place for awhile than gravel, but will
in time make the finest driveway, and,
unless you have considerable heavy
hauling, it is to be preferred to all
other roads. Rocks of any size will
be always shufiing about, and
source Of annoyance; especially is
this the case where you wish to use
a lawn mower. A road of this kind is
easily kept clean, and the edges soon
set to grass. | have seen a line Of
powders laid for edges; to my mind
this is great mistake; it makes a
place for weeds, and cannot be kept
clean only by hand wedding. Every
winter the freeze loosens the rocks,
and It Is tedious job to replace your
sand and gravel every spring.
Another objection to this form Of
road is that you cannot readily drive
on or of. Cinders make fairly good
barn lot road, but has this objection,
the cinders cut up and stick to your
feet, and vehicle tires, and the last
ing qualities are not so great as good
sand, gravel, or broken stone. Brick
bats, broken tile, and other coarse
material should never be used.
The best time to build roads, as
spoken Of here, is in, the spring or
early summer; they set more readily
to grass, and are not exposed to freeze
until they have time to settle. will
say again, never make grade. If it
is possible to prevent doing so, and Ia
cases where grades cannot be avoided
recollect that as a rule, 1t is cheaper
to build a hill than 1t is to cut one
down; it is harder to keep a cut in
order than 1t is to keep up a fill. A
hll set once in grass is practically
done for all time to come. whilst a
cut is a continued source OF annoy
ance by sliding in and filing in side
bitches and washing your grade.

There are few stables so con-

1t would not have been carried on
from the beginning Of the world. But
It does not pay with all men, and the
number that do not make 1t pay Is

the conditions must be favorable, just
as they must be for any other enter

that will pay If badly handled. Some
Of the greatest money-making enter

The me1tai equipment counts for
aueh these days. If the man that
owns farm does not know how to
take advantage Of all the conditions
that arise he is more than likely to
make a good many moves that will
return him no profit. The question OF
brains Is great one on the modern
farm Of to-day. Fortunately the facil-
tiles for acquiring brain force we're

that does not increase this eommod-

NOTES ON FEEDING.
Values of Different Foods and What
Should Be Fed.

Twenty-Five COWS require rs tons Of
silage to carry them through the sea
son. II fed during the summer, an
added ton to the COW is necessary.
While sorghum fodder is much rel
ished by cows still 1t will not COM
pare with clover hay. The former
contains but 1.5 pounds of protein to
100 pounds, the latter 6.S.
Skim milk, when not diluted with
water, has a very narrow nutritive
ratio. 1t should not be used as an
exclusive diet for the brood sows, or,
as for that matter. swine of any
kind.
Oats at say, 35 cents per bushel,
cost more after grinding than bran
at $2S per ton, though they are not
worth more for feeding purposes.
They would, however. be a good com
bination with one-third peas.
Mixing corn and oats In equal parts,
feeding fresh cows about eight pounds
per day, with all the hay each can
eat. and mess Of roots two or
three times week make a good ra-
ton.
No one would expect to keep up a
hardworking horse on cornstalks or
oat straw. The milking COW expends
energy just as certainly as q horse
that is working. Wherefore though
she may relish little straw and the
like now and then, she should not
be compelled TO seek such material
for maintenance or for the production
Of milk and butter.

FEEDING TIE DAIRY COW
10 Secure Profit She Must Have More
Than Maintenance Ration.

It should be remembered that It re.
qulres something more than a main
tenanee ration to secure a profit. The
COW looks out for herself first OF all
md a cold stable or exposure to cold
winds or storms lessons the amount
Of milk bx increasing the demands of
nature in keeping up animal heat. In
other words the COW which is exposed
to severe cold. uses up more Of her
food in fuel for her body than she
would if kept in a comfortable stable.
Hence the Importance Of keeping the
mich COW warm.
Good clover hay is excellent for
this purpose, while timothy is almost
worthless. Corn stalks possess a value
i'm this direction often underestimated.
Good, bright stalks housed before they
become weather beaten are about
equal to clover hay. while the many
virtues Of silage it is needless to
enumerate.
%NNAet ~ TIC clAO to AHC0AS " -
curing best results with the corn plant
comes shredding or putting through
an ordinary feed cutter dry. Either
is better than feeding whole stalks
which means so much waste. Some
thing Of a concentrated nature must
be fed with any kind Of roughage to
secure profitable milk flow in win
ter.
After experimenting with nearly
every known food of this nature, says
a correspondent Of Orange Judd
Farmer, have found this to be one Of
the best: Wheat bran two parts by
measure, corn and cob meal one part,
gluten meal one part. Mix and give
four to five quarts twice a day to each
COW giving full flow of milk; less to
those partially dry. Plan to feed ac-
cording to the individual and not by
any set rule.
Since SO large a proportion Of all
milk is water. provide an adequate
supply, and see that it is pure and
wholesome. A COW should never be
required to drink water that human
being would refuse. Salt is essential
but should be given by itself, allowing
each animal to be its own Judge of the
quantity to be consumed.

II was during Christmas dinner.

sation. Why shouldn't he engage her

no one else to talk to her.
He helped her plate He was do

COOP LAUGH BEST MEDICINE.
More Of 1t Would Make World Health.
ier and Happier.

If we laughed more we should all
be happier and healthier. True, we
are busy and very practical peo-
pie, and most of u.s. probably find
more in this life to bring the frown
than the smile; but, nevertheless, it
is a pity that we do not laugh more
that we do not bring ourselves to the
laugh If need be. For we all agree
that a good laugh is the best medicine
in the world
Physicians have said that no other
feeling works so much good to the
entire human body as that Of merri-
ment. As a digestive it is unexcelled;
as a means of expanding the lungs
there is nothing better
1t keeps the heart and face young.
It is the best Of all tonics to the
spirits It is, too, the most enjoyable
Of all sensations.
A good laugh makes us better
friends with ourselves and everybody
around us, and puts us into closer
touch with what is best and brightest
In our lot In life. II is to be regret
ted, then. that such potent agency
for personal good is not more often
used. It costs nothing. All other
medicines are more or less expen-
sive.
Why said an old doctor, not long
ago, IF people fully realized what it
meant to themselves to laugh. and
they laughed as they should, 30 per
cent. of the doctors would have to go
out Of business"
Probably when we get a little less
busy we shall laugh more. For, after
all, the difference between gloom and
laughter is but a step. And If more
of us took q step aside oftener than
We do, and rested more, we would
laugh more.
The laughing that Is needed is not
the foolish giggle iudulged in by GER
tain misguided feminInes There IS
no outward mark which demonstrates
the woman Of shallow mind so unmis-
tahably % that of giggling. There is
no sense in the glggle. no benefit to
be derived from It.
