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 1t 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 flaring, 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 APE 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
traction engine cuts into the surface
and spreads the earth uniformly over
the Travelled way-Bulletin Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Guard for Neck Yoke.

tapering, while the end in front of the
neck yoke should have shoulder one
inch long so the neck yoke ring can
pass under in case of the tugs becom-
ing unfastened.
This safety iron will catch the ring
every time, yet the neck yoke can be
put on or taken off over it in ordinary
cases where rings are of the usual
size. We consider this a better ar
rangement, says the Prairie Farmer,
than springs or a loose bolt through
the tongue that will get bent and
make trouble.

Treat smutty Seed Wheat.

If it is necessary to SOW seed wheat
from a crop which has been attacked
by sinking smut the seed should first
be treated with formalin. One pint
of formalin in 40 gallons water will
treat 80 bushels of wheat Spread it
out on a clean, tight floor previously
sterilized with the formalin solution.
Sprinkle thoroughly until every ker-
mel is wet. SpriRyling should be re.
peated until at least three quarts of
solution per bushel of grain have been
absorbed. Cover the pile with cloth
or canvas for two hours, then shovel
the grain over at intervals to dry 1t
and SOW at once. All bags and shovels
used In handling the grain must be
carefully disinfeoted.

pinion on the other Two strong posts
were set in the ground and the barrel
hung over two pieces of round iron
driven into the posts, says Farm and
Home. A square hole was cut on side
of barrel and covered with a piece of
sheet iron hinged and button to
fasten.
The sand and cement were damp
ened, shoveled into the barrel and a
boy turned the crank. The mixing
was done as fast as two men could
mold, with a boy to sprinkle the
brick to prevent drying too fast.
Enough brick were made in two days
to build shed 1Gx16 feet. The cost
was not half that of lumber. The
bricklayer who laid the brick said
they were the best he ever laid.

Proving One of the Best Means oi
Producing a bustless Highway.

The application of crude oil to dirt
roads has been experimental with In
several states and 1t is now agreed
that it affords one of the best means
of producing solid, dustless highway
that will not break through in wet
weather. Where the roads are very
sandy, an application of heavy loan
or clay is necessary.
The road is graded and we'll firmed,
being first plowed and pulverized to a
depth of four or five inches Oil Is
applied with sprinkler and harrow
follows the sprinkler to mix the soil
and oil. In tests in Kansas, says the
Farm and Home, heavy oiling was
given about October 1 to the amount
of about one gallon for each square
yard. The road was narrowed after
the sprinkler and week later 12-ton
steam roller was run over the road
several times, making 1t thoroughly
firm.
After being closed one week, the
road was opened to all kinds of heavy
traffic and proved to be firm but not
dusty. Fast horses did not tear up
the soil with their shoes. This road
was not affected by winter freezing,
the coating of oil keeping the road dry
and preventing heaving by frost.
The following June the surface, on
becoming dry, carried light coat OF
dust which required cne-half gallon Of
oil per square yard to thoroughly set,
tie. The road stood heavy traffic dur.
ing the entire season and was prac.
tically free from dust. Light applica'
tions of oil after merely grading up a
road with the scraper and later roll.
ing it down heavily have given ex,
cellent results, the most satisfactory
features being that these roads were
almost entirely dustless.
The oil used on the tests in Kansas
cost one and one-half cents per gallon
at the refinery or three cents when ap.
piled. The cost of grading and oiling
the road varied from $500 to $1,000
per mile, according to distance from
shipping point, cost Of labor, etc.

At half-past nine the crew of the
iMerman were buried in slumber, at
932 three of the members were awake
with heads protruding out of their
hunks, trying to peer through the
gloom, while the fourth dreamt that a
tea-tray was falling down a never
ending staircase. On the floor of the
forecastle something was cursing pret-
tily and rubbing itself.
Bill struck tandsticker match, and
carefully nursing the tiny sulphurous
flame with his hand, saw dimly some
highcolored object on the floor. He
got out of his bunk and lit the lamp,
and an angry and very drunken men,

intruder's head met the boards with
a loud crash, and then there was ST.

ly, as he turned to depart.
1--WE couldn't 'elp you coming

man said, but e ses we can 'elp giving

"Well, have 1 got to starve?" de-
manded the horror-striclen Mr.. Bliss.
Look ere" said Bill, frankly, Ego
and speak to the old man. It's no good
talking to us. Go and have it out with
him."
Private Bliss thanked him and went
ON deck.
GO away" bawled the skipper
pausing with his knife in his fist as
he caught sight of him.
Private Bliss took his head away
and holding it very erect took in his
belt little and walked slowly up and
down the deck. Then he went to the
water cask and took a long drink
and an hour later a generous message
was received from the skipper that he
might have as many biscuits as he
liked.
By the third day nobody took any
notice of him, and his presence on
board was almost forgotten, until Bob,
going down to the forecastle, created
stir by asking somewhat excitedly
what had become of him.
Hes on deck l s'pose," said the
cook, who was having pipe.
He's not" said Bob, solemnly.
Hes not gone overheard, / s'pose?"
said Bill, starting up.
Touched by this morbid suggestion
they went up on deck and looked
round; Private Bliss was nowhere to
be seen, and Ted, who was steering,
had heard no splash. He seemed to
have disappeared by magic, and the
cook, after a hurried search, ventured
aft, and, descending to the cabin, men
toned his fears to the skipper.
Then an idea, horrid idea, oc-
Cured to the cook. The color left
his cheeks and he gazed helplessly at

his knife and fork as though loath to
put them down. A half-emptied sauce

his side, and a bone, with small
fragment of meat adhering, was be-
tween his legs on a saucepan lid which
served as a dish.

HandIino 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 all
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-
verted into feed and manure with no
extra labor.

Saving Choice Seed.

l have found it good plan to save
my own vegetable seed. One not only
saves many pennies, but knows just
what he is planting. The finest choice
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, are saved
for seed. Seed cucumbers growing
near the roots produce better and shed
less of their blossoms. | never pick
bean to use off of hills kept for
seed and those beans growing farthest
from the main vines are rejected. The
result is beans from the roots to the tip
ends of the vines. Cabbage, beets,
radishes, turnips, ETC., are planted out
early in spring to produce seed and
the tops are staked to prevent falling
to the ground.
