Better Than WhiteUash

A serviceable paint for farm build
ings can be made by thickening sour
milk or buttermilk with Portland ce-
ment and metallic Venetian red, or
bright red paint powder to the ordi-
nary paint consistency. l painted
the outside Of ny barn trough lum-
ber) with this mixture and also
painted a few boards with ordinary
oil paint as check, and six years
after the milk paint had preserved
the wood better than the oil paint. 1t
has kept its color and shows no sign
OF age. This paint will not rub or
wash off like whitewash. The grease
in the milk seems to have the fixing
quality, as | treid using water with
the cement and paint and found it
rubbed of readily. For this reason
1t is judged that sour milk is better
than butter milk as it contains more
grease. This sort of paint costs but
little and can be mixed up instantly.
It is very valuable for doing little odd
painting Jobs around the farm which
might not otherwise get done. II is
necessary to keep agitating the paint
as the cement settles quickly.-G. E.

Producing Lean Pork.

The production of fat or lean pork
is question of both breed and food.
Some breeds run to fat and Others to
leanness, both of which natural ten
denotes may be greatly modified, if
not entirely overcome, by feeding for
desired results, but it takes more feed
to fatten a naturally lean hog than
for naturally fat hog. If the brood
SOW belongs to family naturally
fat her pigs will tend in the same d.
rection; but If they are fed lightly af-
ter weaving and compelled to forage
in the fields for most of their feed,
the active life will prevent them ac-
cumulating much fat and turn a large
share OF their food into lean meat,
the natural product of constant exer-
else.
II this is kept up for few genera
tions, the characteristics of the breed,
so far as these special animals are
concerned, will be completely
changed. Nature will come to their
assistance and gradually fit them for
their environment. The scrub hog
and the razor-back produce lean meat
naturally, but they can be changed
into lard hogs by confinement and
heavy feeding in few generations.
The less active the animal, the softer
the bone and the greater tendency to
fatten In all lines of breeding the
question of feeding has much to do
with the results attained. The
smooth, broad backed, short legged
hog will soon degenerate into scrub
in the hands of poor feeder.
In breeding for lean hogs, there
fore, all these points should be con-
sidered and while the breed should be
selected which has tendency in this
direction, the management and food
should be of nature to develop this
tendency still further. In doing this
it will not be necessary to go to the
razor-back, or some big. coarse ami
NAL, with an abnormal appetite and
big bone. The improved breeds can
be made to answer the purpose with
careful feeding and will produce lean
meat at much less cost than the COM
mon breeds.-Epitomist.

No matter how humble your work

The quality of your work will have
a great deal to do with the quality
OF your life. II your quality is down.
your character will be down; your
standard down, your ideals down.
The habit OF insisting upon the best
OF which YOU are capable. and Of al
ways demanding OF yourself the high
est, never accepting the lowest, will
make all the difference between ma
diocrity. or failure, and q successful
career.
II you bring 10 your work the spirit

If You bring burning zeal, an all
absorbing euthusiasm-if you de.e--

It is. ycu will not long be troubled
with & sense OF drudgery. Everything
depends on the spirit we bring to the
task. The right spirit makes an
artist il the humblest task, while the
wrong spirit makes an artisan in any
calling, no matter how high.
There is dignity, an indescriba-
Bile quality Of superiority. in every
thing we do which we thoroughly and
honestly respect. There is nothing
belittling or mental which has TO be
done for the welfare of the race.
You cannot afford to give the mere
dregs, the mere leavings OF your en-

is none too good for it.
1t is only when we do our best,
when we put Joy. energy, enthusiasm

grow; and this is the only way We
can keep our highest salf-respect.
We cannot think much of our
selves when We are not honest in
our work-whea we are not doing
our level best. There is nothing
which will compensate you for loss
of faith in yourself. for the knowledge
Of your capacity for doing bungling,
dishonest work.
You have something infinitely
higher in YOU to satisfy than to make
a mere living, to get through your
days work as easily as possible That
is, your sense Of the right, the de-
mand in you to do your level best,
to call out the best thing in you, to
be man, to do the square thing.
This should speak so loudly in you

Feeding Molasses.

A correspondent Of the Practical
Dairyman says:
In reference to ny experience in
feeding molasses to ny dairy COWS,
will say that I found it to be much
better as miIk-producing feed than
I expected.
I commenced using it b. mixing
II with the brewers grains, one pint
to each COW, and, after feeding fifty
COWS two weeks on said feed,
stopped feeding the molasses two
days, and the cows fell of sixty
quarts per day, when we began feed
ing it again, the cows came up again,
which demonstrated to ny satisfac-
ton that it is a good and cheap feed.
II it was not for the fact that l am
having a surplus Of milk just now,
! should feed it TO my full herd and
increase the amount by giving them
two feeds Of it each day, instead of
one, as l am confident the results
would more than pay the extra cost.

A Good Reads Method.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer in speaking of the Good
Roads Convention held in Port HUI
ron, commends highly the address OF
Hon. a. w. Campbell, of Toronto,
who explained the system in vogue
in Toronto. He said they used to have
the statute labor law by which each
township had great number of
oVerseers and in that township there
was generally new one in each dis
trict. One of them would build the
road eighteen feet wide, another
twenty-five feet wide and some forty
feet, and the next year a new one
would reduce the width where the
one made 1t wide and another would
widen the narrow road, so it was
always being changed and share of
the work lost each year. So they
never had any good roads until they
adopted their present system, which
Is the payment of road tax in money
and they have one commissioner t..
each township to oversee all of the
roads and expend the money. He
advocated the establishment OF gravel
pits where good gravel could be
gotten to put on the roads and said
his experience had been that good.
clean gravel would outlast most of
the broken stone. He was in favor
OF cement culverts-said they had
molds, four different sizes = and
they put gangs Of men in gravel pits
and made up the blocks and left
them in pit all winter to season, then
next season got them as they wanted
them. For very large culverts-
they arched them over = even

even to the width of twenty and
thirty feet. He said do not be afraid
to use plenty of cement. This author
ity claims there can be no progress
made on our roads under a statute
labor law. He claimed any coed

and he advocated about twenty

surface with gradual slope each

Stick to One Breed.

other class of cattle, stick to your
text, and once having made I'D your
mind what you want, keep on in that

The South Awake.

The seed sovn in the interest OF
good roads in the South is beginning
to grow and there is evidence on
every hand that harvest will soon
mature OF which all who have in any
way aided in this work will be Justly
proud.
The South Carolina State Good
Roads Association held a meeting in
Columbia last month that endorsed
the appointment OF a State Highway
Commissioner whose duties should
be 10 have a general supervision of
the roads of the State and inaugu-
rate systematic methods and plans
for their Improvement and mainter-
aace.
Road supervisors are to be appoint
ed for term OF four years and a
general movement in the matter OF
improving the roads of the State Is
to be given life and yigor.
The meeting of the Commercial
Secretaries of Texas and Louisiana,
held at Fort Worth on February Is,
gave much attention TO the plans for
improving the roads Of those States.
while more than usual discussion has
taken place in the columns Of the
press of Alabama on this important
subject. In fact, there is something
doing for the cause Of good roads
in all the States of the South, and
there is every reason to believe that
the interest in this line OF develop
ment for the South will not relax
until there shall exist in each and
every State carefully arranged sys.
TENS for improving their roads and
keeping them in good repair there.
after.
Il is scarcely conceivable to imag.
inc any investment which a State can
make that will prove Of greater value
TO all its citizens than what may be
put into road Improvements. This
investment first yields return in an
enhanced value of all lands that ara
served by good roads, and the State
finds its immediate return for its
outlay in that direction, while the

variety of crops as they can the more
readily place their products in local
markets.
And then the residents of the
towns and cities can be more easily
and more economically supplied with
food products from nearby farms.
and so there is an endless chain of
benefits resulting from good roads
that brings compromising return to
all classes in the State. and so all are
interested in this movement and
should help It along.
The South is waking up to these
facts and it only requires proper per-
sistency on the part of those who
most clearly recognize the need of
good roads in order to secure what
is desired in this direction.-Chat-

How Glaciers Move.

1t has been proven that a glacier
moves very much like a river, the
middle and upper parts faster than
the sides and the bottom, the sides
snd bottom being retarded by fric-
ton. The movement of a glacier is
quite similar to that of a mass of
thick mortar. or a quantity of pitch,
flowing down an inclined trough.
Like the piece of shoemaker's wax,
which, like ice, is extremely brittle,
the glacier, subjected to experiment.
reveals considerable Elasticity, and is
much more like viscous liquid than
it was once supposed to be.-New
