One Of the most successful produc.

dered Nancy. His lordship's jurisdic.

called the minor theaters, SO the

dish at the vic" and thrilled the gal
leryites with fierce emotions, no mat
ter how many times they had seen It,
Nancy was always dragged round the
stage by her hair" writes John Hol-
lingshead, "and after this effort, Skies
always looked up defiantly at the gal
lery. He was always answered by one
loud and fearful curse, yelled by the
whole mass like Handel festival cho
rus When Skies seemed to dash
Nancy's brains out on the stage a
thousand outraged voices, which
sounded like ten thousand, filled the
theater and deafenod the audience be-
low."-London Chronicle

HOW TO AVOID HOG CHOLERA

Pigs from immune sows are not al
ways immune to cholera. Some filters
may be narrowed In infected pens and

ing infected, while others get cholera
within two or three weeks after far.
rowing 4 safe method is to give these
pigs serum alone at about three weeks.
which will usually carry them we'll
past weaving time, when they can be
given the simultaneous treatment.
There are some herds where the pigs
seem to be very susceptible to cholera.
In this 1t will be necessary to give Sc
rum alone more than once in order
to carry them several weeks past
weaving Pigs given the simultane-
Gus method soon after weaving some
times lose this protection within a
few months. To acquire a longtime
immunity, pigs should weigh at least
30 or 50 pounds at the time Of re-
ceiving Simultaneous treatment. At
this weight the immunity usually last
through the ordinary lifetime OF the
hog, although in some Instances hogs
that have been proved positively i'm
mune at l75 pounds have later de-
veloped cholera.

Make mush of graham or whole

three weeks old, when you can feed
all skim milk and mush.
Calves fed In this way are not so
liable to have scours as when they
are fed on cornmeal, as the cooked
wheat is good for troubles OF that
kind In calves
Care should be taken to not over
feed calves, as that sometimes
causes trouble with handled calves.

sweet hay to pick at. as they soon

GOOD
ROADS
MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROAD
To Prevent Water From Standing on
Travelled Way Surface Should 30
Raised In Center.

II you look at the ordinary country
road after a shower, you will see small
puddles along the wheel ruts and some
times larger pools. This water stays
ON the road surface because 1t cannot
drain away into the side bitches.
you look closely you will see said
bitches which have grown up Win
bushes and weeds in many cases, and
which are SO far from the Travelled
part Of the road that the rain water
does not drain into them. That part
OF the roadway where the wagons
travel Is called the Travelled way To
prevent water from standing on the
travelled way, the road should be raised
In the center and should slope gently
into broad, shallow bitches. 1t is then
said to have crown. If 1t is ten feet
from the center Of the road to the side
ditch, the surface at the side often
should be at least ten inches lower than
It Is at the center where the horses
travel The road then has ten-inch
crown. The rain that falls on road
properly crowned will run quickly to
the side and not soak into the surface
or form pools. The side bitches for
surface watsr should run parallel to
d. the right of way, and should be open
at every low point so that the water
can run out of them into neighboring
brooks or streams. II the bitches
mere ly collect the water from the road
surface and it cannot run away, large
pools will be formed along the road
eide. which will gradually soak into
the soil beneath The road and make 1t
so soft that the wht Is Of wagons viii
cut through the road surface and soon
destroy It,
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road, and
forms a little stream down the wheel
tracks or in the middle, where the
horses travel. When driveways into
farm yards are built across the side
bitches they frequently form channels
for water from the farm yard to run
into the road The pipes under drive.
ways become filled with leaves or rub
bish and the water can no longer run
away. If the driveways that stop the
ditch water We're rebuilt SO that no
pipes were necessary and the ditch
could be left open, much trouble from
surface water would be stopped
To keep a road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag 1t with
road drag. road drag Is made easily
with two halves OF log which has
been split. The log should be about
six or eight inches in thickness and
about six or eight feet long. The two
halves OF the log are set three feet

Limestone Macadam Road In Virginia.
apart with the smooth faces forward
and upright They are then fastened
together with braces set In holes bored
through the log, A pair of horses may
be used to drag the road, and are
hitched to a chain fastened to the front
half Of the log. The road drag should
move forward 80 that 1t slants across
the road In such way that small
amount OF earth will slide past the
smooth face of the log toward the cen
ter OF the road, thus forming the
crown. The edges Of the logs will
smooth out the ruts The best way to
drag is to begin at the side ditch and
go up one side Of the road and then
down the other. In the next trip the
drag should be started little nearer
the center, and the last trip over the
road the drag may work close to the
center itself Small ridges OF earth
will be thrown in the horse track and
smeared by the round side Of the log
smoothly over the road. Smearipg the
earth by the drag Is called pudding"
and it tends to make the surface OF the
road smooth and water tight after the
sun comes out. The road is always
dragged after 1t has rained, and not
when it Is dry. A good, strong pair OF
horses with a well-built drag can drag
three or four miles of road In day,
and It Is the best way to maintain good
roads. In every county some farmer
along each four miles of road should
own drag and drag the road when 1t
rains, and he would always find the
road in good condition when he goes
to market.
