The Road Drag.

In going about the state this sum
mer the editor has had men say that
he was right in advocating the use OF
the road drag on Vermont roads, A
very strong endorsement of the road
drag was made at the annual meeting
of the White mountain board of trade
held at Tarelton Lake club house last
week. Col Il. Il. Pike, the president
and promoter Of the club after calling
the banqueters to order called attention
to the splendid condition of the road
of four and half miles from Pike to
the club grounds, which had been prac-
tically impossible for automobiles after
the rains of last week, but which had
been made better than the state roads
for such travel by the use of a King
drag drawn by four horses the day be-
fore. The drag cost 81 to construct.
To prove its efficiency his automobile
brought six guests safely over this road
in nine minutes Tuesday night to take
the outgoing trains. He cited this in
stance of maintenance to show, he said,
that good roads can be maintained
at small cost here under intelligent di-
rection"
The value of this simple and mex
pensive device has been demonstrated so
often that one wonders why the road
builders of Vermont are so afraid Of
using it. The proper use Of it during
the fall months before the ground freezes
would save thousands of dollars for
highway repairs next spring. 1t should
be used and people should make such
a demand for it that road commissioners
could not refuse to use t.-St. Johns

cream. This should not be done before
the cream is COOL as it would if warm,
tend to raise the temperature OF the
whole can and encourage conditions I'M
der which germs are formed.
If the cellar or cave in which the
cream is kept is very cool, IL will be
necessary to place il in the can or jar
and set il there till ready for market,
but so many caves become hot during
the warmer portion Of the day, that
it will be found advisable to adopt some
plan for keeping the cream cooler if
best possible results are to be secured.
While our cellar Is moderately cool, we
set our cream jar in tub OF cold water
and keep both in the cellar. We use
stone jars to put the cream in, as we
consider them easier to keep clean and
more sanitary than tin cans The tub
used is lard tub, as its height will
admit of the water reaching higher up

with the care of cream that we must
give the closest attention.
II cream is kept in tin pals or cans,
make sure that there is no rust in them,
and do not allow cream to remain in
them over as hours at the most. II
should be remembered that cream is
quick to absorb any odor that may be
near it, and for this reason we must
keep all rotten or decaying fruits and
vegetables well cleaned out of the place
in which cream is stored, as the odors
arising from these would sour and de-
teriorate it, If any cream or milk is
spilled ON the floor where cream is kept.
it should be Immediately cleaned up.
as it quickly sours, taints the air, and
thus starts the cream to deteriorating.
After can of cream has been mar
keted, the vessel in which it has been
kept should be thoroughly scalded out,
rinsed with cold water, and set in the
sun for several hours, at least.

feed for working horses The expert
ment stations oil America and Europe
have long been at this work of testing
feeds, according TO the Indiana Farmer
recent test abroad has been made that
seems to promise good results in the use
of oats, corn, beets and other root crops.
II was found that by using corn in lieu
of oats in the ration, two pounds Of
corn was found equal to two pounds Of
oats with the roots fed as part of the
ration.
When about four pounds of oats was
replaced by roots in ration of from
20 to "a pounds Of oats, two pounds OF
dry matter in the roots proved equal to
two pounds of dry matter in the oats
Such change in the ration did not APP
parently produce any injurious effects on
the health or working capacity of the
horses. Whole straw and cut straw
were found to be of equal feeding value,
weight for weight, in rations for horses
at work.
In recent test Of feeding horses at
the Michigan station, the feed was
weighed out and each horse was given
20 pounds of hay per day and II pounds
of oats. Three Heams OF farm horses
were given variety of feeds consisting
of clover hay, corn stalks, oat straw,
beet pulp, ear corn, oats, wheat bran,
carrots and small percentage of oil
cake.
Each set of teams had practically the
same amount Of work to perform and all
kept in about the same condition that
they were in when the experiment was
begun. At the end of 10 weeks, the cost
of feeds for each set of horses was fig
ured up, and it was found that the feed
given the horses, oats and timothy hay.
had cost 291a cents each per day, max
ing difference of u cents in cost for
feet of each Of the horses. In view Of
short crops this season, these feeding
tests are well worth considering for the
winters feeding.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter Prices Soaring and Eggs Are Ris-
ing in Prire.

lnS III flhcs
Boston. Oct. l0.-The cost of butter
is still soaring, not only here, but in
all markets the country over. There
has been full cent advance here since
last week and the Indications are that
still higher prices will be reached. The
make of butter this year has fallen far
below that of last year, but as result
of a large carry-over from last year
the price has not begun to reflect the
shortage until the last week or two. In
deed, butter has been so reasonable all
summer that consumption has been un-
usually heavy and substitutes like oleo-
margarine have been almost entirely
passed up. Whatever surplus there was
from last year has been used up and
with the fresh make way below that
of last year it begins to look like 40
cent butter to the consumer. The cheese
market also tends higher under much
the same causes that are sending but
ter higher. And with the hens off the
Job there is constant decrease in the
receipts Of fresh eggs and consequent
rise in the cost.

CARE OF CREAM.
Treatment From Time of Separation Un-
til 1t Is Marketed

In order to receive high test from
cream, and consequent high price for
it, we must give it the best of care
from the time of separation till the day
it is marketed, says NJ. Coverdell in
the Indiana Farmer. Cream secured by
running the milk through the hand cream
separator is more convenient to handle
easier to keep fresh, and commands a
higher price on the market than cream
SKINNED by hand or the water separa-
tor.
After pouring in water with which to
flush out the cream separator bowl, we
give the separator handle exactly the
same number of turns after each separa-
ton before turning off the milk feed or
faucet; then catch the last of the thin,
watery product coming from the cream
spout in another vessel as the water
would thin the cream and lower the
test.
AS soon as the cream is separated
we salt it at the rate of a teaspoonful
to the half gallon. 1t takes salt much
better while still warm, and will keep
better if thus kept fresh. The cream
then is cooled by placing the vessel in
cold WITHDRAWING water if possible.
This should be done quickly to prevent

KEEPING APPLES,
How to Prevent the "Scald' to Which
Greetings Are Liable.

The greening is one of the most diff
cult apples to keep because of its tend
ency to "scald" or turn brown when
held over winter, writes Edward Van
Alstyne in the Rural New Yorker This
is as true of cold storage as of that
in cellars The ice houses usually" have
more difficulty of this sort than the
chemical ones However, know of one
ice house near my own home where
the owner makes a speciality of green
ings. He uses pipes filled with salt
and ice, and his house is dry. One
can set fire to a paper which has been
in there for weeks, almost as readily
as one could II 1t had beer kept in an
ordinary dry room.
Hence, conclude that O cold, dry air
is best to prevent scald. Baldwins are
rarely troubled this way. Most cellars
are too warm to keep applies The
nearer they can be kept just above
the freezing point the better. Often a
cellar can have the windows open dur
ing the day, and thus take in lot Of
cold air which is retained for some time
after they are closed during the colder
night. The writer has a cellar under
his corn house built to store apples
In zero weather it will freeze, but at
such a time q covering of fine hay will
save the fruit. We have saved Spitz-
enburgs there until April. Apples TO
save in any kind of storage should be
pretty we'll matured on the trees-not
dead ripe, of course. They should
not be allowed to lie around to be heat
ed by the sun, or to sweat in piles. but
If possible go from the tree with as
little handling as possible direct to the
storage. | would emphasize the fact
that in any event they would better be
cool before they go in. That is,
would not pick apples in the middle of
a warm day and carry them Immediate
ly into storage. Rather leave them un-
til the morning after, holding a cold
place during the night. Whether to
store in tight packages like barrel or
In crates through which the air can pen
citrate is a question on which there is
quite a difference of opinion The west
ern New York cold storage men use
the barrel tightly headed, and they are
very successful. The party to whom
referred, who keeps greetings so well,
uses the bushel SLATED crate Many
of our Hudson valley storage men do
the same. My own preference is for
a tight package. / was taught by my
father 40 years ago to use such, and /
have always found my apples kept bet
ter that way, not exposed to the air,
