A series of experiments fans been car ried on at -the Maiue station to deter mine tbe relative value of three formi of pbosphatio material! to eight com tnoq crops, aud also at the same time to determine the Varying ability of differ ent crops to appropriate phosphoric aofd from the same source. The phoapbatei used were: ......... 1. Acidulated Florida rock tbat,ia, a rock phosphate that had been treated with sulphurio acid, a large part of iti phosphates being thereby converted into tbe available form. S. Crude, finely ground Florida rook (floats), containing 83.88 per cent to tal pliosphorlo acid, none of which was J soluble, with only 9.46 per cent aolnble iu ammonium citrate. 8. A phosphate of iron and alumina (redonda), containing 40.68 per oent phosphoric acid, a large part of which was soluble in ammouintn citrate. . Tbe plants grown were peas, clover, turnips, rata bagas, barley, corn, pota toes and tomatoes. - In theso experiments tbe effect of tbe acid rock was very marked with all tne plants grown, those receiving it in nearly all cases at once taking the lead and keeping it to the. end. The plants were dark green in oolor, and tbe tu bercles, which were developed on the roots of nearly all' tbe leguminous plants, were larger aud much more nu merous. It was noticeable. However, that in some cases, especially with the clover, tnrnips and rnta bagas. the good effects of tbe acid rook were more marked daring the first few weeks of growth than at a later stage, when the roots bad become more -tally developed and bad begun to forage for themselves. It would appear that the yonug- plants feed but little upon the insoluble phos phates, bat that the organic acids pres ent in tbe sap of tbe roots exert a sol vent-action npon-tbelnsolnjjle-pnos-phates in tbe soil, gradually converting tbem into available forma In this work only the immediate ef fect of the phosphates has been taken into consideration, no mention being made of the unusual phosporio acid re maining in the soil at thetiloseof tbe ex periment. In actual field work tbe good effect of -tbe ground rook would of coarse be far more lasting tban that of tbe acid rock. Box experiments were- made at the New Hainpshlie station in 1893 with winter rye, the phospborio acid being largely supplied by roasted redonda, ground bone and basio slag. The result showed that the rye gave nearly as good results with the roasted redonda as with tbe other phosphates. This result con firms the Maine report that the ooro and barley, plants closely related . to rye, gave better rssults with the redonda phosphate than with tbe finely ground Florida rock. , . A Troablesomo Weed. Among weeds '.increasingly com plained of is the field bindweed or small flowered morning glory. . This is men tioned in tne Ohio experiment station's weed manual as a somewhat recently imparted pest of tbe most serious sort from Europe. Its small flowers, an inch or less in diameter at tbe top, ara cer tain characters of recognition. It grows with stems several feet in length, twin ing about themselves or about any other plants which may happen to be near. Underground it has extensive stems, any piece of whicb may start a new 7IKLD BIHDWIIO. plant, and by this means it spreads year by year or is scattered by cultivating through tbe infested patches. Tbe eradication of tbe field bindweed is a very difficult task, yot at with Can ada thistle nothing short of eradication when found in small area will serve tbe purpose oi ibe landowner. A liberal use of hoe and salt would seem tbe best means of destroying it True, other vegetation will chiefly be destroyed, but this may be endured for a time if the bindweed is also exterminated, Tbe work should begin on tbe outer fringes of tbe patches and let nothing escape there. Tbe infested spots should not be cultivated with tbe surrounding land because of dragging the roots on tbe plow and tools. Mews ana Rotes. The United Etatea baa been invited by the Buarian government to take part in an International horticultural expo sition at SL Petersburg in May, 1809, by aanding exhibits and special oommis. doners to prepare tbe American section.

A fact yet to be generally appreciated is that better roads tend toward the greater prosperity of the whole commu nity and are for the benefit of the pub lic in general, aa is now held by the courts of Pennsylvania, says Engineer ing News. This means that the cost of their construction should be equitably distributed among all the people bene fited. - A decided state interest in snob development also favors what is quite as essential, the intelligent planning and supervision of new construction and repairs, for the state can better provide the necessary machinery for this work than any county or isolated community. Bat whut the people want, and what is needed to encourage development in road construction and to provide tbe ob ject lesson in actual benefits to be de rived wbloh will ledd to further de velopment, is a type of ordinary high way that is intelligently designed and yet cheap to construct. A country road costing f 5,000 or more per mile is sim ply prohibitory in price any whore ex cept in the immediate vicinity of largo oities and in wealthy communities. A road nine feet wtde, covered with a well rolled four inch layer of good hard rock and dirt from along the road, costs only from 000 to (1,000 per mile and is sufficient for tbo massed country travel. Roods of this type can be built by the public without imposing andae taxes. THE TELFORD ROADBED. It Shoald Be Bhaped and Boiled Before the Metal la Laid. The telford road differs materially from the macadam, for it has a founda tion of stonos laid down singly, with the broad side down and the spaces be tween tho stones flllod with smaller rough, wedge shaped stones driven in solid. . r Originally tbe telford foundation was "convexed" by laying the largest stones to form the crown in the oenter of tho roadway and thou grading down to tho gutters with smaller stones, but thin practice is no longer followed, for tho earth is graded to form the crown as it is done iu a macadam road. The earth foundation is well rolled, and then tbe subpavement is laid on with the long side of the stone set trans versely. ..Between these stones stono chips are packed firmly, and then broken stone is pluocd over the subpavement in two layers, the first layer being rolled and packed before tbe second is laid on. Thia layer of broken stone forms tho Intermediate course, for the surface is made of stone broken in smaller pieces and packed under a light roller. Sand is swept over tbe surface, and another rolling with a heavier roller completes tbe pavement. The sand is moistened, and the rolling is continued until tho soud can no longer be driven in between tbe broken stone. Drains are laid, as they are for macadam roads, before the subpavement is built. POINT FOR GOOD ROADS. When the Weather Is Bad, the Parmer May Go to Market. That good roads will bring prosperity Is no idle dream. Through all the panic and depression of the' last three years the farmers in the few good roads district of tbe coun try have gone on making money and .improving their farms, and they have not troubled themselves much about politics or finance. ' It is enforced idleness that makes farmers poor, and no farmer need be Idle a day on account of bad weather or wet fields if only bis roads are good. On a good road there is always paying work of some kind, and wet weather is just the time to go on the road. Tbe French farmer never loses a good day in bis fields, for he can do all bis mar keting in rainy times. What prosperity would burst upon the country if every farmer and farm er's boy not at school and every farm band and team could earn a full day's wages every day in the year, rain or shine. General Boy Stone. - Width of Headways. The cost of building road in thinly settled districts can be materially less ened by using only a narrow width of hardened surface. ' Tbe roadbed should be protected by shoulders at a width of IS feet, so that in case of need the ex pense of changing over to the full width of hardened surface would not be very great Then are some parts of our conn try where the chief thing is to get length of way, and it would be waste of money to build in such districts a maoadsm road of the usual dimensions.

Definite Purpose In Poultry Culture end Effort XowaM Perfection. . Every poultry breeder shoald have a definite purpose iu view. If is not enough to breed for tbe best which may come from present' niatings. There should be an outlook toward the future. It is something to be able to keep one's tock -np to the quality it possessed when it came into tbe bands of the ..ase j riUZB BAIUtBD PLYMOUTH BOCK. breeder, but it is not what any good breeder should be satisfied to do. Ha should strive to improve. Eaoh year be should expect bis birds to be a little nearer perfection than they wore the year before, and If his expectations are not realized be should not be dis couraged and should not abate one jot or tittle from them. Be should work for results. To work successfully for results one should have in the .first place a oloarly defined Ideal. If bis ideal is hazy, it will lead bim a long journey before its attainment because, not knowing just what be wishes to accomplish, be will be drawn sometimes in Jne direction ana sometimes in anotner. n one starts for a given place, the best way to got there is to keep going in one direction. If one travels five miles one duy and re traces his steps the next day, be will not progress very far in a year. Not only should tho ideal be well de fined, bat it should be a worthy one. A breeder of my acquaintance, whose specialty is Barred Plymouth Rocks al one time determined to produoe birds with good red eyes. Every bird with a pale eye, no matter bow good it was otherwise, was to be rejected. Good eyes were the one consideration. He succeeded. But as the point was of trivial value the result was not worth the effort The character of the ideal will determine the value of the result. It becomes, then, very necessary to cure a worthy ideal in. order that tbe labor may be well rewarded. If a breeder has a well defined and worthy ideal, be next asks himself the question, "How is this ideal to bo made real?" And this is a very important query. We can only generalise upon the answer because eaoh separate Ideal re quires separate treatment but every ideal has this in common with other ideals, that its attainment requires a careful study -of tbe material with which one baa to deal. One needs to know the exact results already attained, and then be knows tbe distance between what is and what is desired. He needs to know tbe breeding tendency of bis birds, for then be can prognosticate the direction in wbiob variation will ap pear. Every breeder therefore should make a careful study of his birds, learn not only what they are, but bow they were produced, and be keen to notice very small things. With snob knowledge be will be able to mate them more suc cessfully to produoe favorable varia tions that is, variations in tbe direc tion of the improvement sought H. 8. Baboock in American Poultry Journal. Early MolUaf Desirable,.., It la a very Important point at thia time of tbe year to have stock molt early, says Country Gentleman.' Of course it if well understood that tbe younger the bird tbe earlier she molts. This pertains to last year's pullets, and they will, if properly fed during tbe winter and spring, be inclined to molt during July. Still, valuable assistance can be given tbem to compel them to shed their feathers early. Tbe new feathers cannot grow until tbe old ones are off, therefore a systematic feeding Is necessary to compel an early molt Tbe soft morning mash become useful here, and. it can be safely fed every other morning, and a portion of linseed meal Introduced, making the component parts as follows t On quarter bran, one quarter gr-omuToorn and oats, one-quarter oornnieal and one-quarter linseed meaL About twice a week add a small portion of ground beef scrap ' to this mash, and it WTJ1 be found to form good balanced ration.

There la a growing impression that American poultry raisers have beeni neglecting tbe goose. Of the seven standard breeds tbe gray wild variety is extensively raised. These geese have a rather small bead, small bill, sharp at the point and long, slender neck, snaky in appearance. Tho back Is long and rather narrow, and is arched from neck to tail; breast, full and deep, and body long and somewhat slender. Tbe wings are long, large and powerful, and tbe thighs are rather short. Tho bead of tbe wild goose is black with a white stujpe nearly covering the aide of tbe face. The breast is light gray, which grows darker aa it approaches tho legs ; tbe plumage of tho underparts of tne body from tbe legs to tbe tail is white.- The wings are dark gray ; primaries dusky black, showing only a dark gray color when the wing is folded; secondaries are brown, bat of a lighter shade than tho primuries. The toil feathers are glossy black, and the thighs are gray. The shanks, roes and webs are black. The eyes are blaok. A goose farm of unusual interest is that of Sol Bouaker of Cynthia, Ey., on tbe Licking river, says a correspondent of tbe Mew York Sun. Mr. Beuakor bar oreoted a large wooden building about 80 foet wide and 160 fact long. It is two stories high. Tbe floors slant grad ually to the centor so that they can be flooded and thus kept olcnii. There arc troughs placed at oouvenibnt points to bold tbe food for the geese. At present there are 6,200 geese in this building iu different stages of the fattening process.: Tbey are gathered from all parts of tbe state, and when thuy arrive tboir aver age weight is from four to eiglitpouuds. They are first placed in tho largo yard Oil AY WILO OOOSK. In which tho building is situated, and there they (iudabundanceetwaterto that tbey cab clean themselves. After a fow days tbey are placed in the house iu the fattening pens. It requires four or five weeks of careful foeding to fatten the geese. The establishment has n steam corn mill and corn slielier. Ibo corn Is purchased from tbe farmers Iu the neigh borhood and is shelled and ground into meal. Tbe cobs run down a shoot to tho furnaoe and make enough fuel to run tbe machinery. Tbe meal is mixed into a dough and in tbat form fed to Ibo geese. A goope is the cleanest fowl alivo," says Mr. Benaker. "I have been in tho poultry business since 1871, bave han dled all kinds of domestio fowl aud bave studied tbeir habits closely and bave never sen anything which equals the goose in cleanlinosa. Tbey are constant ly at work keeping tbeir feathers clean, and if tliey have plenty of wator tlley are never seen except wben fit for dress parade. Tbey are equally careful re gardiug tbeir fond. Ou one occasion we bougbta lot of corn which bad masted. and tb geese would not eat the dongb made front . nor will they eat dough after it bas soured. On this account we have to be very cureful to mix up no more dough than tho geese will eat iu a day. "Another peculiar thing about geese I tbat they eat a great deal more some days tban tbey do on others. For In stance, it frequently requires 80 or 40 buckets of dough a day to a given pen of geese. Then for a few days tbey will probably not eat more than a down buckets. Wben they bave plenty of wa ter and wholesome food, get-so fatten rapidly and bave no disease, but unless tbey bave an opportunity to keep clean and bave pure food tbey die rapidly. "Tbey ara sold by tbe brace and aver age wben fat from 14 to pound a brace. We sail our geese In only one market New York city. Tbey are shipped In pouftry cafs and are furni.b ed .with an abundance of water and eorameal dough while tbey are on the way. Tbe reason they are shipped alive la tbat Hebrews may not purchase tbem after tbey are killed. Last year we ship ped about 11,000 gees to New York city, and this year w will handle !, 000, . Tb capacity of our bouse Is be tween 6,000 and 0,000. It IvqflTrcs three men to ettend tbe corn sbelltrand the mill aud to feed the geese.

Baeeesarally Withstand Proste of Winter and Thaws of Spring Smooth, Hard Roads TaKe the Flaee of Mndheles. Method of Construction. The members of tbe board of oonnty supervisors are taking a deep interest In tbe publio road work that was done last summer on several of the main oonnty highways and have started a systematic inquiry with a view of as oertainhig bow the roudbods bavo with stood the spring thaw, says tho Omaha Bee. Colonel liuker bos porbaps taken more Interest In this Work than almost any other member of tbe board. He says: "We have every reason tooongratu latoourselvet-and -tbpoople-of -tho county who uso the roads that the effort to oonstraot modern highways was ba gun last summer. Of the 21 miles of roadway wo oonstruotod lust summer our roports do not show n mile that it not in good passable condition. Iu muuy pluaos whore at this time lost year the mud was axle deep to tbe ve hides that attempted to traverse tb publio highways immediately after tbe frost left tbe earth we now have firm, dry roadbeds over which heavy loads can be hauled. There bas been more rain this season tbuu last Tbe work we did hns certainly demonstrated tbe wisdom of the board in investing a con siderable sum of money in the road making machinery we purchased and put into operation. We were considera bly handicapped during a portion of the season ou account of the excessive dry ness of the soil, which could not be per fectly compacted by our system of bar rowing and rolling. "At all points where the new road- kavays are not up to tbe standard it will be found tbat the work was done wben the ground was powder dry. Wherever we bad moist earth to work upon we gave a firm and solid basis for the road that bas not been affected -by tbe weather. The old Chautauqua road, where we did a coKXKcricuT nuiiiwAr. some good work early in the season, Is In a high stntn of ofllclency, and tbe farmers are pulling the bnuvlosl loads over It , This road was almost impassa ble for heavily laden wagon until this year. We are ful'7 entlxfled with tbo work we did and thall continue on the same line tbis season and reconstruct many miles of the principal highways in the county." The new method calls for the use of a 13 horsepower grader which is used for removing tbe earth from tbe sides of tbe roadway and piling it up In tbe oenter. As fast as it Is deposited there it Is spread out and thoroughly pulver. lied by a slender . toothed barrow, wbicb is followed by a roller weighing several tons Tbe loose eartb la put ou la layers of only about an Inch in thick ness, each subjected to repeated rolling. In tbis way a roadway, often severs! feet in thickness. Is built up, firmly compacted from top to bottom. The sur face bas en oval form which sheds the water readily. Formerly In tbe publio highways a snort distance from tbe city there was only one narrow roadway where all of tbe vehicles traveled, turn ing out only to pas eaob other. Ou tb new roadway a surface of from SO to 40 feet I need.
