PHASES OF DAIRYING.

1t is not my intention to discuss the
various points in diversified farming,
but to touch on certain phases Of dairy
ing; not because it is the work in which
am engaged, but because of the i'm
portant and almost indispensable part
that dairying forms in well arranged
plans for diversified farming. Only IN
a few scattered instances throughout
the country do we find dairying on the
farm given the place it should have.
This is largely due to intensifying the
disagreeable sides of dairy work, by
making it a side-line, taken onto an
otherwise crowded day of labor. where
the facilities for doing the work are by
no means inviting. This is one OF the
problems that should receive most care
ful attention.
How to make dairy work on the farm
more agreeable is a very important
question. a.,
Dairying can not replace all other
lines of farming, although in some places
it is carried on almost to the exclusion
of all others, but there is a certain limit
it should reach on every farm, IN order
to attain the highest perfection: In
diversified should be made to build up
the dairy conditions on such lines as Will
make it attractive as any other line OF
farm work.
Dairy work cannot attract young or
old to the industry, when it is added to
the beginning and ending of an other
wise hard day work, and with mongrel
bred cows which cannot give the best
results, where feeding receives no at
tention, or where the cream and milk
are handled carelessly, and consequently
the returns are not encouraging. Such
conditions not only make the work dis
agreeable on the farm, but they have
an effect on other essential parts OF the
dairy industry, which is most disastrous.
During the past summer an Inspector
in a Minnesota department condemned
81, 600 worth of cream; yet this direct
loss is only part Of the loss that re-
suits from careless methods which re-
suit in unwholesome cream, and has a
bad influence on the trade in general,
and strikes at a vital part of the dairy
industry; for it is the value that the
consumer places upon the product that
is the foundation of the whole industry.
When the consumer likes the product
the business grows; when the consumer
dislikes the product it dwindles in many
cases to less than half the normal de-
mand.
Make business of dairying, and 1t
will pay well in Delaware.

Taft to Accent Yale Chair.

ar 10 accept fdle OHdlI'
President Taft has made up his
mind to accept the proffer Of the
Kent professorship of law at Yale and
probably will take up his duties al
New Haven early in the spring.
The president was said to have de-
termined upon accepting the Yale pro
fessorship for several reasons. He VIII
not be restricted merely to lectures TO
Yale students, but will be permitted
to lecture if he desires in other law
schools or upon the platform, or to en-
gage in any other occupation which
he sees fit.
If the president had returned to
Cincinnati to resume law practice he
felt that he would have but little op-
portunity for practice. He felt that ne
could not appear in cases before the
United States supreme court because
he has appointed a majority OF its
membership. He remembered when he
thought of the law that he had named
many federal judges in Ohio before
whom he might have to argue cases,
and he believed that about the only
sort of practice which he could take
up would be International, and that ne
regarded as uncertain.

GOOD ROADS.
A WAY TO GET THEM.

In order that our roads may be put in
the best condition in the least possible
time, it is of vital Importance that all
twO-horse wagons have at least four
inch tires.
Other States are enjoying the bles-
sings of the good roads have found that
the widening of their wagon tires, was
their best investment for the mainten-
ance of their permanent roads.
All are agreed that the money for
road improvement as now expended is
practically wasted and that if this
money now wasted was applied in the
widening of tires, immediate and per-
manent good would result.
1t costs the Jersey farmer cents per
ton per mile for his hauling, the Della
ware farmer pays 26 cents. This IS
loss of S100 per year for each Delaware
farmer, to say nothing of the extra
on his hauling equipment, and his loss
from waste from being unable to move
his crop quickly at the height OF the
season.
If no money is available for this tried
and needed improvement, 1t would be
better to use the money now approprla-
ted for maintence (allOwing for emer-
gencies) the money so spent would be
saved to the State in three years in cost
of upkeep.
The material for building dirt roads
in Delaware is excellent, and properly
drained and graded with wide tires, we
will have roads to be proud Of
If wide tires have served other States
so well, why should Delaware wait.
If they make and help maintain good
roads, let US have them.
