YIELDS ON SMALL FARMS.
They Average Better Than Upon the
Large Section.

The man who spoke was an old.
time thresher. It was at Columbus.
in Ward county, N. D., that he gave
his opinion. The size for the farms
was being discussed at the time. He
said: Il have noticed this, that when
I am threshing on a quarter section
farm / get more bushels to thresh per
acre than when l thresh on q half
section farm. In fact" he said, 1.-The
larger the farm the less the bushels
per acre." Doubtless this man was
right. The more acres the average
grain grower has the more he wants.
He skins over his work, he has so
many acres to cover. He does that
work so poorly that low yields result.
The season is blamed, when the
fault lies with the farmer, declares
the Orange Judd Farmer. He says
the seasons are changing, when the
change is with himself. 1t is a change
from reasonably good to inferior farm
ing. Such is the story of farming in
several of the states beyond the Mis-
sissipi. Man in his reaching out for
acres let's slip from his grasp the idea
Of good farming. The country suffers
In consequence.

ment already laid, thus giving
long stretch Of the paving instead OF
scattered patches over the country.
The paving Is of vitrified paving brick.
and is retained in place by rectangular
concrete curbing five inches wide by
16 inches deep, set with its top flush
with the brick. In this state, the max
imum width of brick highway allowed
by state law 10 16 feet, with a mini
mum width of ten feet. This county
applied for the maximum width, and
two roads have been constructed In
accordance with this 16-foot width.
Outside of each curbing is an earth
en- BERNIE three feet wide, also flush
with the curb, SO that vehicle may
drive from the brick pavement out
owe; the curbing to the earth II occa-
sion requires, as 1t seldom does. Drain.
age is provided by means Of ditch on
either side Of the road, with mini
mum depth of Is inches below the
crown Of the pavement. The paving
between curbing has a crown Of five
inches, and is constructed on an arc
Of circle or on parabola az occa-
sion requires.
The accurate cross section here
given shows these figures in plan. The
excavation for the subgrade Of the paw
ing is first made with a true crown
parallel to the finished surface of the
road; this is then thoroughly rolled
and compacted with not less than
six-ton steam roller. On this sub.
grade bed or foundation of gravel is
placed to depth Of seven inches, and
the surface of this Is constructed to
true crown and thoroughly rolled.
On this is placed an inch Of sand for
a cushion on which the brick are laid.
The brick are then rolled AMI sanded,
after which the pavement is ready for
use. The specifications for this class
Of work are very rigid and the work
when completed is not only durable
but pleasing to the eye. On the work
done In this county, all horizontal an
giles are turned with regular degree
curves and all vertical angles are re-
placed by vertical curves.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS.
How u 10 Being Worked Out In Ohio,
Especially In Musklnsum County.

There has been considerable. agita-
ton throughout Ohio over the good
roads question for number OF years,
writes ID. Y. Geddes to Country Gentle
man. The result was that few years
ago the state legislature authorized the
organization OF state highway depart
ment principally for educational pur-
poses, but the work soon became 80
great and the demands 30 insistent
that the educational view has largely
been lost sight of in the practical side
of the question. This department Is
still in its infancy and is composed OF
Q state highway commissioner and two
assistants, together with resident en-
gineers In various sections OF the
state. The state legislature. at It's
last session, authorized an appropria-
ton of $4,000 per county. or q total OF
$4,000 for the IS counties OF the
state. This amount is distributed pro
rata to the counties, the state paying
for 30 per cent. Of the work done, the
county for rs per cent, the township
for Is per cent, and the property own
ers along the line Of the improved high.

the work in the given township.
These conditions have been taken

the past two years toward obtaining a

writer having had charge Of all such
work as resident engineer. One OF
the primary conditions in the applica-
ton for a brick road is that the road

ALFALFA BEST FARM CROP.
Western Farmer Who Has Made the
Crop Pay Well.

I farmed 100 acres for three years.
since then have added some 100
acres to the original ranch. and usu-
ally winter 100 head Of stock on dry
raised alfalfa. This crop is one of
the best for the dry farmer, and sup
plies a large amount Of feed for lit
tie more than the cutting, writes q
Colorado farmer In the Orange Judd
Farmer.
The fall OF 1908 was the driest In
rs years, and this winter finds us
with q foot OF snow all over the pas
lures, but with plenty Of hay and
grain to carry all our stock through
in good condition. I thoroughly be-
lieve in combination farming. A farm
er may just as well feed his own pro-
duce and secure the profits as allow
some other man to do It, But 1t Is
more sensible in every way to get your
feed first, then buy the stock.
Alfalfa will grow almost anywhere.
The failures come from shallow
blowing and planting other crops
with 1t, which. of course, use up the
moisture and kill It out. Ten pounds
to the acre is sufficient. April Is the
best month. Harrow after cutting;

falfa, fall rye, winter wheat and corn

For spring grain the land should al

er. Where the precipitation falls be.

been adopted by the foremost dry
