profit, and from the rest one class of products after another must be elim- mated because of the prohibitiye cost of hauling, and beyond lie vast terri tories that cannot be cultivated with out the building and constant main tenance of roads suited to whatever traffic there may be developed.
 Tt has been demonstrated that as the roads from the market towns have been improved there has been great increase of their business and core spending improvement in the condi- tion and opportunities of the rural population, larger prosperity of the individual farmer, greater traffic for the railroads, better supplies and low CT prices for the consumer. It does not pay to raise crops that cannot be marketed readily and eheaply. Mill lions of dollars worth of field and or chard crops have been utterly wasted because of expensive and inadequate facilities for marketing. This is one of the hard problems with which the United States department of agricul- ture is trying to deal through the greatest experts in the land, and they have found that the building of good roads is essential to the success of their plans.

CARING FOR YEARLING COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change In Spring From Grain to Grass
 Furnish Some Shelter.

In the spring, when all the work horses must be put to work, it is often problem just what to do with the yearling colt. It goes without say ing that they are, in most cases, sadly neglected. If there are few green spots showing in the pasture they are turned in there to make their living, and all the attention they receive Is an occasional handful of salt.
 This change from their ration of grain and hay to one of grass is pretty likely to cause q considerable setback to the young horse. There should al- ways be a gradual change from grain to grass, leaving the grain off entirely by the time the grass has reached it's best.
 The young stock always become un- easy when the grass begins to look green and the spring days begin to warm up mother earth. They should be turned out only for an hour or two at first, and as they become moro ae- customed to the grass they can be kept out longer
 During this time their grain and hay ration should be cut down some, if they get enough grass to keep them interested while they are out In this way their digestive organs will gradu- ally become accustomed to the grass, and there will be no disorders of the lntestines when they are turned on n ct Ir handled in this manner for a week or two it will be safe to turn them out.
 The colts should have some kind of shelter for the first few nights they are in the pasture They have been used 10 the barn all winter, and it will be just little trying on them to re- main out in the open on cool, dewy nights. If there is no shelter in tine pasture they should be driven to the barn at nights for the first two or three weeks after being turned out.

GOOD ROADS
LOWER EXPENSE TO FARMERS
Good Roads Reduce Greatly Trouble of Transporting Crops to Market
 Cause of Distress.

Before the war in Europe affected the rates at sea it cost the American farmer more to haul bushel of wheat nine and a half miles to the railroad station for shipment than it cost the buyer to ship the same bushel of wheat from New York to Liverpool a distance of 5000 miles, according to l bulletin issued by the American Highway association. The average cost of hauling a ton of farm produce, or a ton of anything else, over the ay- craze country road is about twenty three cents mile; 70 years ago the cost of the same service was r cents
 The cost of hauling over the railroads is less than one-ninth as much as it was 60 years ago. The cost of hauling by railroad has almost reached the vanishing point the cost of hauling on the country roads has gone up as the roads have gone down.
 By careful calculation, Logan Wal Ter Page, director of the United States office of public roads, has reached the conclusion that with wise and equita- blc road laws and good business man. agemen, it would be entirely practica- ble for the people to save themselves on the two items of hauling and ad- ministration the enormous sum of s290 100000 yearly. The railroads in the United States carry about 900,000- GOO tons of freight annually. and of this vast tonnage at least 200, ,000, GOO tons are hauled over the country roads to the railroad station or to the canals for shipment The immense volume of mining products aggregating mil- lions of tons is not included in this estimate, but only the agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products hauled by wagon over the public roads, nor is the cost of hauling back and forth between the farms and the mills
 The main cause of agricultural dis tress," says the bulletin, a subject of perennial alarm to popular fayorites, is not so much the wages of the work CTS or the infertility of the soil or the prices of the products. but the enor- nous drain of getting the stuff to market, the waste of the roads in the wear and tear of machinery. the sacri- flee of teams, the ineffieieney of sery- ice compelled by impossible highways. Tributary to every market town or railroad station there are what MT. Page calls .zenes of production From the first of these zones all prod aets can be delivered to market at 8

GOOD ROADS AROUND A FARM
Driveways Are Frequently of Sufficient Importance to Warrant Some Sur

Grom Weekly News Letter, United States

 Roads and drives immediately around the farm yards and barns which are used very frequently are usually of sufficient importance to warrant some surface improvement. Very light CT extremely sandy soils cut up badly in dry weather. while cer- tain heavy and absorbent soils become very sticky and soft during the rainy season. Where any considerable amount of hauling is necessary. roads over soils of this character may re- quire to be surfaced.
 Many of the materials ordinarily em- ployed in road construction will be

TREATMENT FOR HOG WORMS
Best Preventive Is to Give Animals Clean Trouehs-keep Away From
 Stagnant Water Pools.

To keep hogs free from worms they should at all times have a drink from clean troughs, feed from clean floor and keep away from yards. wallows manure piles, pastures and stagnant waters.
 For worms, give eight grains of san tonine and five grains of calomel for every 100 pounds of body weight.
 Give the medicines in a little slop after starving the pigs for Is hours. Repeat in two weeks if thought neces- sary.

the land will easily pay all the costs of a flock for the years feeding, and. in general, this service to the owner of 0 flock from the years feeding. and a field has been known to add so much to the next seasons crop as to repay the whole amount of money cost of the sheep. but it is a mistake to start with too many.
 Three sheep to the acre are sutf1- eient for the land that can be appro- priated for the feeding of them Thus, if one has ten acres of land that can be used for flock each year, 30 sheep only should be procured. It is an easy matter to add to the num- Der if desired. But it is to be con- sidered that the flock will grow very fast. doubling almost, under favorable conditions, every year, if well cared for, and the ewes are not more than three or four years old. It is great mistake to make a start with a flock of old ewes, and is money and care wasted
