pnsture Weeds.

The cheapest way to rid the pas
ture of weeds, as we'll as other parts
of the farm where sheep can be al
lowed to run, is to keep some sheep
grazing upon it. We believe it is also
the best way to keep down weeds, as
the sheep wander over the same land
day after day and keep the weeds
closely picked down all the time, while
If you depend on moving the weeds
it can only be done occasionally and
not very often at best A good sized
bunch of sheep will do more weed
killing than man, and do it at a
profit to the owner, while the man
would be quite an item of expense,
besides fertilizer is thus evenly dis
tributed and the soil benefited

| have two or three small hog houses
scattered over the farm in small pas
lures, varying from one to five acres
each, with from fifteen to twenty-five
hogs to the pasture.
Hogs raised in this way are more
healthy and thrifty and are less sub
ject to disease. In case of an out
break of cholera in one pen, the 9TH
ers can be kept away from the sick
ones or sold, thus preventing the
spread of the disease through the en-
tire herd.
These hog houses are made just
large enough for one sow to farrow
in, seven by six feet and five and one
half feet high is good size; such a
house will cost between four and five
dollars. They should be built on run
ners, so that they can be moved about
when desired.
Last spring we had sows to farrow
about the middle of March in some
of these colony houses. The weather
was cold, but by using plenty of good
bedding and hanging lantern from
the peak we were able to save a high
er percentage of our pigs than we
usually do.
In the early spring as soon as the
rye or other forage crops have start
ed, fasten rope or chain to the front
sill (throwing the door open), hitch
horse to this chain or rope and move
the hog house to green pasture. Later,
when clover is ready to be turned
into, it can be moved again. In this
way the pigs can have the best of
pasture all through the summer, with
good shelter at hand in Lad wealth
er. AS fall approaches, after the corn
has been husked, they can be moved
to the corn field, and IL cowpeas or
soy beans have been planted in the
corn, they will fatten rapidly and
pick up all the down corn and clean
up the field.-A Reader, in the In
diana Farmer.

Concerning French Roads.

An interesting example of improved
rapid road construction has just been
carried out in France with view of
uniting the three industrial cities of
the department of the Nord.. This
takes the form Of great boulevard
and has been constructed in three
years. 1t has length of 14.5 kilo-
meters and has two branches, one
starting from Roubaix and the other
from Tourcoing. The two branches
unite in common thoroughfare
which ends in the centre of Lille.
The boulevard is fifty meters wide.
On each side, bordered by footways
three and one-half meters wide, there
is provided roadway five and one
half meters wide reserved for heavy
traffic. In the centre is n roadway
of nine meters allocated to light We
hicles and motor cars. Between this
central roadway and the other road
ways are two raised roads eleven and
one-half meters wide for foot passen-
gers, cyclists, horse riders and an
electric tramway. On the lines of
the boulevard the necessity for great
speed has led to the adoption for this
of the overhead trolley system, a
double catenary suspension keeping
the line perfectly horizontal.
The permanent way consists of Wig
noles rails screwed to the sleepers, on
which they are supported by metallic
chairs. The ballast consists of Stag.
Joints are placed on specially large
sleepers and are made with fish plates
with six bolts The cars have been
built to pass round curves of fifteen
meters radius and to attain speed
of fifty-eight kilometers an hour.
The maintenance of the French ma
tional roads in view of the rapid in
crease in automobile traffic of recent
years, is giving rise to serious con-
cern, as appears clearly in the report
made by M. j. Chailley on the public
works budget for 1910.
NJ. Chailley relates the efforts made
by the engineers of the roads and
bridges department to diminish the
wear of the roads. AT first there were
attempts, of an hygienic character, to
suppress the dust by means of tar.
But tarring gives only temporary re-
suits; it does not constitute facing
sufficiently solid to protect the sur
face of the road effectively, and after
a short time it has to be done over
again, without having really sup
pressed the dust.
NJ. Chailley describes the method
which consists in constituting the
road of small materials enveloped
preferably in bituminous medium so
as to ensure the elasticity of the
whole. He mentions a number of
compositions based on this principle,
and patented as quarrite, tarvia, etc.,
which have been tried with some sue
cess, 1t appears, in Germany; and he
disapproves of the plan which was
suggested at one time by the engi-
neers, and which consists of forming
the roads with small paving stones
well joined.--Good Roads Magazine.

Plan in Breeding.

II one is breeding with a special
object in view, say to produce strain
Of phenomenal layers, it is rot good
plan to introduce strange blood every
year, as, by doing so, the advantage
gained one year may be lost the next,
unless cockerel cAS be obtained
from a known flock being bred with
the same purpose as your own. If
this cannot be done, it is best to in
breed. And there is right way and
a wrong way to do that. The right
way requires several breeding pens.
First year, begin with one-year-old
cockerel and two-year hens; second
year, breed best pullets to same male,
and mate best cockerel of previous
year with the hens of the first year.
If you know the hen that laid the egg
from which he was Matched, put her
out of the pen. Third year, discard
the first-year pen entirely, both male
and females, and mate best cockerel
in pen produced by breeding the orig
inal mothers to cockerel offspring Of
first year, to hens which were Matched
from first years pen and were mated
as pullets with their father (they are
now two years old) and the cockerel,
now grown to be two-year-old roos-
ter, to the pullets produced by the
first years pullets bred back to the
father.
Now you have two pens, and may
have more if you like of fowls of the
same strain, but little or no relation.
Keep breeding one-year-old cockerels
from one pen to two-year-old hens
from the others. This is better than
constantly introducing new and
strange blood. = Colman's Rural
World.

Hay For Sheen.

Glover hay is most excellent feed
for sheep, but alfalfa is Just as good
as clover. Alfalfa is not only higher
in protein, but is more relished. In
the way of forage plant there is
nothing better than good alfalfa hay
for sheep, as pasture clover is safer
than alfalfa. In the fall of the year,
however, sheep may be pastured on
alfalfa with little or no loss from
bloat. Any one who can grow alfalfa
successfully can make sheep raising
very profitable. - Farmers Home

How to Set a Hen.

This subject looks very simple, as
most everybody thinks they know how
to set a hen, and perhaps they do,
but | have tried the following way
and have found it to be all right.
take a cracker box, that can be pur-
chased at your grocer's for five cents,
or if he is one of the generous kind
he will give it to you. The dimensions
of a cracker box are, twenty-four
inches long and eighteen wide and the
same high. First l remove the bot
tom of the box, then take out one end,
and saw a strip two inches wide and
nail this across the end at the top,
then nail one the same size just in
side of this one and leave half inch
space between them. Then saw an
other two inch strip and nail it across
the bottom so that it will be edge
ways, and put this one eighteen
inches from the back, thus making a
square that will be eighteen inches.
This will be for the nest. AS l said

Sfanle Food.

Make staple food of the grain
that is cheapest in your locality,
whether corn, oats, wheat, barley,
millet or anything else. Then study
its composition, and make up its de-
ficiencies with something else. All
grains have certain food value, and
to speak broadly, all are good for the
fowls, but none are perfect, and
while any would make good basis
for a paying ration, none make ra-
