Cost of oiling Roads.

A recently published report OF the
Boston park commission is interest
ing. In 1906 twelve miles of road
were treated with oil to keep down
the dust, and the result was so salts
factory that in 1907 the whole extent
of more than forty miles was treated
in this way. Mr. Putnam, the engi-
neer, has carefully calculated the
cost, and he says that the annual
cost of sDrinkling a thirty-foot road
way was S4S9 mile, whereas the
cost of oiling the same roadway thir-
ty feet wide was S375. In addition
to laying the dust the asphaltum in
the oil had a binding effect on the
surface of the road, and very mater
tally lessened the cost for repairs.
The oil is put on in an emulsion IN
which fifteen gallons of water is
mixed with 100 gallons of crude oil,
the whole being agitated to the prop
er point of emulsion, and then $50
gallons mixed with $50 gallons of
water and sprinkled on the. roads.
The plan has given the very best OF
satisfaction in Boston, and might be
tried elsewhere with corresponding!y
satisfactory results.-Utica Press.

in the tube has risen higher than the
general surface in the vessel. Sim
ilarly, If a piece of loaf sugar is
placed upon a saucer containing a
small quantity of water, SO that only
fraction of the sugar is immersed,
the liquid will be observed to mount
rapidly through the substance of the
sugar, until the whole piece Is satu-
rated. The ascent of the water Is
also due to the working of capillary
force, and water in the soil rises to
the surface in the same way. The
following notes are extracted from an
article on this subject, which Is one
Of great Importance to the practical
cultivator. that lately appeared In the
American Journal of Agriculture.
Water deep down in the soil is at
tracted and drawn to the surface Of
the soil grains there, the soil particles
above them attract and draw the wat
er to themselves and up till 1t reaches
the surface. Once at the surface, the
air claims the water and 1t is taken
away from the soil by evaporation.
Soil particles not only have the
power of drawing water to them
selves, but of holding it as we'll. By
simple mathematical law, the small
er the particle the greater proper
tional surface 1t has, hence the finer
the particles are, the more water a
given soil is capable of holding. Also.
the closer together the soil grains are
the more retentive Is the soil of mois-
ture. For this last reason deep plow-
ing for breaking up large masses into
fine grains, and heavy packing to
bring these grains into close contact,
are employed in dry farming opera
tions, and may be adopted in any re-
gion,. in dry times, to make deep soil
hold large amounts of water.
The practical application Of the
principles of soil capillarity consists
in first loosening the soil to as great
depths as possible for creating large
surfaces of exposure, allowing the
soil to catch and imbibe as much wat
er as possible, If it be not already sat-
urated, and then stirring the surface
frequently to prevent loss from above.
The farmer who understands fully
the laws of capillary action and so
handles his soil as to receive and re-
tain large amounts of moisture has
mastered one of the greatest points Of
successful farming. - Agricultural

orchard Cover Crops.

The tests made at the Experiment
Station during the past five years and
reported, show conclusively that
young, rapidly growing peach trees
are made harder in wood and fruit
buds by the use of cover crop that
will, by drying the ground somewhat
in late summer, check the growth of
the trees and cause them to mature
their wood properly before the ad-
vent of freezing weather.
. Cover crops that survive the win
ter, rye, for instance, are detrimental
to orchards, as they dry the ground
excessively in spring when the trees
need abundant moisture. Cover crops
that are killed by the early frosts
are better than those that live later,
because, as soon as killed, they stop
drying the soil. catch fall rains, and
check evaporation. For the past
seven years, at the time winter has
set in, the the ground in the Expert
ment Station orchards has been as
moist in the plats that grew FROST
killed cover crops as in the plats that
received thorough cultivation
throughout the fall Cover crops
that live until killed by severe freez-
ing weather, oats, for instance,
sometimes keep the ground so dry
that there is danger OF serious injury
to tender roots should the following
winter be very cold.
Vegetation that stands erect does
not furnish as good direct protection
against severe freezing Of the ground
as crops that mat down like litter
mulch. Cornstalks, for instance, af-
ford little protection against freez-
ing when there is no snow, while a
cover of oats furnishes considerable
protection under similar conditions.
Cornstal..s and other vegetation that
stands fairly erect hold drifting snow
very well, thereby furnishing excel
lent indirect protection.
Millet, cane and corn were the best
of the cover crops tried at the Expert
ment Station. Millet is the best of
all, except for the fact that, when
sown the latter part of July, it some
times ripens seed enough to cause
trouble the following summer. R.

Lawns For the EARNS.

Why should not farm houses be
surrounded by we'll kept lawns? OF
late years farmers are taking more
interest in their home surroundings
than they did decade or two ago.
Many a farm house nowadays is
adorned by neatly kept lawn and
the only fault that can be found is
that there are not more attractive
farm homes. 1t was, until recently,
the practice to have barns for the
care of live stock much more COM
Portable and attractive than the
dwelling house Of the family. IN Or
der, to have a nice lawn it is not
necessary to attempt extensive land
scape gardening. The life of a lawn
Is the mower, and the lawn must be
moved because it kills out the weeds
and stimulates the growth Of the
grass. If there are not already old
forest trees on the home place, some
variety of trees should be set out.
the kind depending upon the lati-
tude and climatic conditions. Fruit
trees may be advantageously raised
on the country lawn. and they will
serve two purposes, as they furnish
both shade and fruit The lawn
should have few walks with flower
beds and shrubs to make it more at
tractive. There are many kinds of
roses and shrubs that can be grown
almost anywhere. During the win
ter months plans may be made for
the laying out of the lawn and for
the planting of the flowers.

Without doubt, the dry method Is
the easiest, safest and most economi-
cal method Of feeding small chicks.
1t Is always risk to the health of
young birds to feed moist mashes.
Experienced poultrymen have OBJ
tained very good results from feeding
raw or cooked mashes, but it will be
wisest course for the beginner to con-
fine himself to the dry method, using
sound, sweet grain.
The chicks should be kept confined
close to the mother hen for the first
two or three days. For the first two
or three weeks the hen should be
kept shut up in the coop, letting the
chicks run free. Keep fresh watet
in clean drinking fountain where
the hen and chicks can reach it, also
keep before the chicks at all times
supply Of chick-size grit, granulated
bone and charcoal. Scatter little
commercial chick food in some fine
litter, and let them scratch for 1t.
Feed four or five times daily, but do
not feed so much at one time that
they are not willing to scratch when
the next feeding time comes.
After ten or fifteen days the chicks
may be gradually weaned from the
chick food, and cracked corn and
wheat fed in its place.. If possible,
always have grass run, Of, if that is
not obtainable, give substitute such
as cut clover, alfalfa, sprouted oats,
or cabbage.
It is very natural that chicks as
well as human beings should tire of
one bill Of fare day after day, so it is
necessary to supply some supplement
tary feed to stimulate the appetite
and to prevent the chicks from get
ting off their feed. For this there Is
nothing better than cooked wheat or
cracked rice. The grain should be
boiled thoroughly, first seasoning the
water slightly with salt. Boil until
the grains are very soft and almost
all the water has evaporated. Do
not stir any more than necessary
while cooking, as it is desired to have
the grains as whole as possible. This
food should be allowed to cool before
feeding. When ready to feed remove
the amount you intend to give the
chicks and sprinkle little bone or
beef meal over it, bone meal prefer
ably. Feed on clean boards and
spread sufficiently to give all chicks
free access to it without having to
trample all over the food. Give as
much Of this food as they will clean
up in from fifteen to twenty minutes.
Remember to keep fresh water be-
fore the chicks all the time, and keep
the drinking fountains clean.-R. r.

Practical Road Making.

One of the most popular and prof
table courses given by the University
Extension Division Of the UniVe:..:y
of Wisconsin is thai in highway con-
struction. The purpose of this course
is to give highway officials, and 9TH
ers who have the responsibility of
building and maintaining public
roads in the State, an opportunity to
acquire thorough and up-to-date
knowledge Of the best material and
best methods to be. employed in their.
work. Heretofore many Of the OFF,
ciais charged with road construction
and road maintenance have been
obliged to depend largely upon the
experience of the people in their own
town. These practices and expert
ences are naturally limited. The To-
cal knowledge has not been broad and
complete enough, and enormous sums
of public money have been wasted.
While this course was not given
until January, 1908, the results have
already become apparent in many
parts of the State in the better use OF
the money given for highway con-
struction. Citizens and public OIL
cials of Wisconsin who have charge
of the work Of making roads in the
State are taught without fee, and are
charged only the bare cost of the ma
terials which are used in correspon-
dence, amounting to but seventy-iVe
cents. The course consists of sixteen
lessons.
/ After discussing the primary con-
sideration Of proper road location,
road building is taken up. Under this
head are considered three elements
which enter into the making of road
foundation, drainage and surface.
These three things are very thor
oughly studied. Road maintenance
Is also very. carefully studied. A
searching study is made Of the vari-
or3 kinds of road machinery-points
of efficiency and economy, in general
as we'll as the merits and demerits
Of any particular machine. When
enc consideres the enormous sum of
money that has been wasted in Wis
consin in the building of roads and
the other wastages which have re-
suited from bad roads, it seems diff
cult to estimate the value of this di-
rect and practical method of aiding
the people of the State. 1t is but an
other illustration, however, OF the di-
rect and efficient ways in which the
university is endeavoring to help the
people of the State, upon whom it has
relied and must rely for its support.
