HandIinu the Straw Stack.

Have the stacking yard as near the
barn as possible and fence it off from
the barnyard. Clean up around the
bottom of the straw stack so the stock
will begin to eat there. Do not allow
any stock to sleep in the stack yard
at night By keeping it clean around
the stack the cattle will lick up ali
the chaff and grain and at night you
will have about enough loose straw
to bed down the stock, which will
leave the stack yard clean for the
next morning. There is no waste of
straw by this method and it is con-
verified into feed and manure with no
extra labor.

ROADS ON HILLS.
How They May Be Protected from
Outlying.

Where the road is built on a steep
grade some provision should be made
to prevent the washing of the cutters
into deep gullies This can be done
by paving the bottoms and sides of
the cutters with brick or field stones.
In order to make the flow as small as
possible in side bitches it is often ad-
visable to construct frequent outlets
into the adjacent fields or streams, or,
if possible, to lay underground pipes
or blind drains with screened open
ings into side bitches at frequent in
tervals. The size of side bitches
should depend upon the amount of
water they are expected to carry. If
possible they should be located at
least three feet from the edge of the
travelled roadway.
All side bitches should have a grad
ual fall of at least half a foot in
every 100 feet. Their sides, particu-
larly those sloping toward the road
way, should be broad and faring, so as
to prevent accidents as well as the
caving in of their banks. Their bot
toms should be wide enough to carry
the largest amount of water that is
likel to flow through them at any one
time. Sometimes the only bitches
necessary to carry off the surface
water are those made with the road
machine. The blade of the machine
may be set at any desired angle, and
when drawn along by horses or by a
traction engine cuts into the, surface
and spreads the earth uniformly over
the Travelled way.-Bulletin Depart

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
Its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing 1t to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonlc
acid gas this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form 1t is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins 1t down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad.
dition of more lnseed oil.
The above refers, Of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" Of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort Of composition
containing only percentage Of white
lead sometimes no White Lead at all:
in such stun, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance OF pure White Lead.
There is, however. a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed. be-
fore painting with II.
The blowpipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving residue, 1t is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.

RUSTIC WANTS FILIPINO BRIDE.

Brown Girl in Manila Paper.

Utica, N. Y.-A paper published in

and just received here, contains the
following:
Wanted,-An orphan girl for wife,
between the ages of IA and "a. Send
with dowry of $3.50 to Little Falls, N.
Y, freight paid"
This is the gist of the wants OF Ar
thur Congdon of Little Falls. n. Y, in
n communication written to the sec
retary of the interior simultaneously
with his inserting the above 'ad." in
Manila newspaper. Congdon said
in his letter TO the secretary that he
had read of the offer of the govern
ment to provide for the care of FIJI
pino girls and the payment TO those
of marriageable age, who married. a
sum equivalent to the cost of two
years maintenance, about $3.50.
He said that his work on the farm.
where, among other duties, he cared
for 40 cows, precluded his going to
Manila for an orphan girl, but that
he would make one of the maidens
his bride II the government would
ship him one, freight prepaid. and
send along with her the $3.50 dowry.
Congdon, who evidently misinterpreted
the cable news regarding the gov
ernments plan for marrying of its
eligible wards in the Philippines. is n
goodlooking, husky young farmer.
and insisted that he is sincere in his
desire to get a Filipino bride.
