POINTS A3 TO MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT. Maeh Caa Be Accomplished r IateU llgraat Supervision Bond Guards Sua-aeeted-fJ.ele Renal Maaarl. ai Hoed Machine. ) mere Is no question that so vexes the minds of the executive officers of our country towns as that of how to Best care for the public roads, says 0. ir. Augur or Connecticut In New Eng. land Homestead. They know that only a certain amount of money will be ap propriated for the purpose, and they are well aware that they will be hell to a strict account for Its expenditure. Except In a few instances, whet Iso lated patches of improved roads are laid down with the help or the state appropriation, the work is very imper fectly done, and the material used Is worthless for the purpose. Often the men In charge of road repairs know that the slipshod methods employed are poor economy, but the fear of ad rerse criticism, perhaps loss of office, it this year's expenditure exceeds that A TIL1A0K HWHWAT. of last year causes them to do that l : which makes a show of repairing, but wolch In the end leaves the roads in worse condition than before repairs were attempted. ' ; My idea of what should be done is to elect at the annual town meeting on al ternate years a road supervisor whose term of office shall be for two years unless sooner terminated. Give him the entire charge of the roads, bridges and sluices and pay him a liberal per diem for time necessarily expended. The first duty of the supervisor Should be to appoint a resident road guardian for each section of road, such section not to exceed three miles in extent. The duty of this road guardian hall be not to repair damage, but to prevent It. He should Inspect the road under his charge frequently, especially during heavy rains, and see that gut ters and sluices are kept open and wa ter bars unbroken. Often ten minutes' work with boe or shovel at the right moment will save ten hours' work with -teams and men. I have recently driv en over hundreds of miles of coun try roads and have observed the great damage done by the spring rains. In nearly every case a little work at the right time could have saved the roads. Iw the event of any unusual damage the guardian should report promptly to bis superior. The material usually used In repair ing country roads is road wash or turf that has grown upon It and is in no ens suitable. - The worn pebbles have no power of coherency. They will not bind, and the organic matter of turf Is productive only of mud or dust. .. There is no toad so pleasant to ride upon as a well made, well drained, well graded dirt road. Once settled into place It will last in good condition for year If frequently looked after. On heavy soils It will, of course, be muddy wnen the frost Is coming out, but that Isj onjy for a short period, and the pleas ure of riding on It free from noise and dust at other seasons compensates for a good deal of springtime annoyance. It' is not practicable to harden all country roads, and If the road Is well drained and the gutters and sluices kenr onen It is not desirable. A clat tering stone toad takes away much of the charm of a country drive, to say nAthinff of the annoyance to oweuers thereon. Sometimes, If gravel Is readily anibirile. it Is economy to 'Surface a damp dirt road with four inch coat Thin win keen all ilgnt Tenuaea wuv wi th. mnri even In SDrlnctime, ana an- leaf very heavy teams pass over it Will last for yean, i Wet places that cannot ba successfully drained should be filled with a telford pavement ana rrom u A miwht inehea of navel placed over K.

May Ilntcbrd Chick.. Tears ago. when I used to buy a good many eggs for hatching in the north and east. I was Imbued with that old fogy Idea that still clings to some that May hatched chickens were inferior to those hatched earlier In the season. Hence I used to place my orders In March, with Instructions to ship as early as possible; that I wanted April hatched chickens. One man that I dis tinctly remember, a breeder at Water- vllet, Mich., wrote me In reply that. they still had winter up there, that his chickens were all housed and that he could not guarantee his eggs to hatch satisfactorily so early In the season. I told him to hold the order and to ship When he thought I would get licot re sults from the eggs. He did so. The eggs were set the latter part of April, and 1 got the liCNl hatch 1 ever had from shipped eggs and raised every one of the chickens loo. On two or three oilier occasions I bought eggs from a leading breeder of White Leghorns in New York stale and urged early slilpmcur. and In eurh case 1 was advised to wait until later before the eggs should lie sliipix'd- Hut I wanted the eggs, and so tlicy were for warded against the judgment of the shipper and with Indifferent hatches too. So after a time I came to know by experience that for a Hire hatch and thrifty, quick growing chickeh the May sitter and the May chicken were the surest. . . - ' May Is the natural hutching month of the birds and the wild fowl. Tlicy nest and hatch after the trees hare leafed out aud the surface of the earth has been aaruicd up generally by )u sun's genial rays and the lusect life awakened as well. Without the latter the mother bird could not provide food for her young: therefore, animated by natural instincts, she awaits the call of nature before nesting. : She knows that the leafless 1 n cs and tbe barreu. brown earth would nITord her do subsistence for her young. Be Kind to Biddy. It Is doubtful which feels himself more a pgr le red, the mail whose bens won't sit when be wants tbeni to ov the man whose heus persist In sitting when he doesn't want them to sit. Whichever is worse a word, of caution may well be spoken to the way the birds are bandied. If persons would stop o think that for heus to sit Is quite as natural as for tbem to lay and Indeed ll oftentimes seems more natural they would hardly, a reanon able beings, subject the birds to such Inhuman treatment as Is bf ted resorted to in tbe effort to stop their desire to sit A iperauti who deliberately ase barsb and cruel means or roughly han dles such hens Is not fit 10 bsve the care of 0 ay thing and rightly should be breaking ateaes for th state..

The Guernsey cow Dolly's Ada, 0289, and her bull calf.Hufu of Homesteads, 0003, whose portraits are reprinted from Hoard's Dairyman, are members of Old Homestead herd, property of IV V. Axtell, Perry. O. Dolly's Ada dropped the bull calf by her sldo April 20, 1900. One day lit May she gave 40 pounds of milk test ing 5 2-10 per cent fat-2 86-100 pounds butter and In one week gave 10 34-100 pounds butter on grass alone. From present Indication Dolly's Ada will make about GOO pounds of butter for the year. She would undoubted- OCEBN8ZT OOW AND CALV. ly hare considerably exceeded this amount had she been kept at home on the farm under natural conditions. But a campaign of nearly ten weeks at the state fairs considerably reduced her flow of milk. This campaign was not without prof It, however, as Dolly's Ada won two first and three second state fair prizes In the aged cow competition In 1900. Her bull calf won one first and two sec onds. After Mowlasr Graaa. Proper treatment Is very Important after mowing grass. Some grass Is cut too closely, and then the hayrake is so set as -to dig. into the turf, dis lodging sets or stools that may not re cover if a dry spell comes. If the horserake teeth do not scratch the ground, It will not injure the sod. As to cutting or feeding the after math, Colonel James Ward of New l'ork state says: " "Mowing Is worse than graslng. However, It is possible to have too much of a good thing. There may be such a heavy aftergrowth that It la In the way. Sometimes a too heavy after growth will cause a field to be smoth ered by the Ice In winter. The grass under the heavy matting or aftermath keeps alive all winter and requires some air. If there Is a coating of Ice over It, it seems to be killed to some extent by suffocation. Usually, how ever, in the spring grass starts much earlier when thus protected and Is In better condition than that wblcb Is left unprotected." Cornstalks should be cut Into about Inch lengths. The finer the cut the more compact tbe silage, says Breed er's Gazette. As the silo fills with the fresh cut corn, ears and all, the mate rial should be spread evenly and care fully tramped next the walls. One may fill tbe silo In three or four days or be two or three weeks . conducting the operation. Tbe slower It U filled the more material can be got Into It A practical silo should not be less than 18 feet In diameter and should be from 24 to 30 feet deep. As silo filling nears completion let tbe material settle and add more so as to hare It well filled. The covering may consist of the rat corn forage material Itself, or of nu merous other substances about the farm. Marsh grass, weeds , or 'other waste green material can be run through tbe feed cutter and placed one or two feet deep on top of the silage mass. Chaffed straw or oat chaff Is also excellent. These materials should bo thoroughly wet so as to render tbem heavy and causa them to pack well. -,i,,ri -ii'W 1 1 t ' aila aad Baetiasro. ; i f People are fast learning that good ensilage can only be secured In a first class silo and that a silo made of poor material or from lumber that warps or twists will always prove disappointing to Its owner, says a writer In National Stockman. This Is Illustrated by tbe method of canning fruit If tbe can Is sealed airtight, the fruit can be pre served all through the winter. But If tbe rubber packing is poor or tbe top Is not screwed on tight admitting tbe air, the contents 'work" and are spoil ed. Tbe same thine holds tru with a silo. Unless the walll are Impervlotis to both air and moisture ooe most not expect to keep bla ensilage sweet Tbe cheap struct urea made of old fence boards should not be called alios. Tea sels of this kind bare also led many men to reject silage and probably ac counts for tbe nnjnst and sweeping condemnation of it by milk condense rtea.

I am asked a number of questions re garding millet, says L. W. Llghty of Pennsylvania In The National Stock man and Fanner. When shall I sow I Millet can be sown any time after corn planting up to August in our latitude. Last sea sou we were In the rainless district, and the ground was as dry as powder for a few months until the be ginning of August, when we had a shower. I then seeded two and one half acres, and In about 43 or 00 days It cut over seven tons of excellent hay, and- It made the growth with the aid of only two very light showers. - With plenty of heat and moisture it grows very rapidly. What variety? I tried a number of varieties, but the Oerman or Golden millet gave me the most satisfactory results. How much seed to tbe acre? If seeded rather thick, It makes a finer growth and better quality of hay. - It also Is more likely to smother the weeds. But the weeds often make us trouble In the early sown millet. The ideal method to get ahead of the weeds Is to prepare the land In the spring and then allow the weeds to ger minate and harrow It thoroughly, allow another germination and then, about the middle of July, make a very fine seed bed and sow, aud very few weeds will grow. But many times we want to use the land for other purposes or tbe weather will not allow. I often grow 4 crop of Canada peas or oats before millet, and when that Is off disk the ground thoroughly and seed to millet, thus taking two crops in one season. I sow the seed broadcast. Sow only clean seed. Is It hnrd on the land? Should I use stable manure or fertilizer? Yes, it is hard on the land. Like timothy, It takes all Its food from near the sur face. Being a quick grower, It needs plenty of readily available plant food, so I prefer to plow or Work in well rot ted stsble manure and use a quick act ing fertilizer. A good fertilizer on my soil I found to be 130 pounds of S. O. rock phosphate, 60 pounds nitrate of soda and 50 pounds muriate of potash. It makes a good soiling crop. For hay I like to cut It when the earliest heads have made seed, but tbe average beads are Just In blossom. If properly cured, this makes a very palatable nay. TWIN 8ILOS. Of Larsro Caaaeltr aad Ballt to Last a Lifetime. I am moved to send yon a little sketch of twin silos recently put np by a lorge dairy company In New Jersey.

The plan Is that given by Professor Klug In the Wisconsin bulletin on silos, wltb one notable exception.

There la thus no woodwork to decay that cannot be easily replaced. These silos cost about $800 each and are calculated to last a lifetime, writes a correspondent to Barol New Yorker. What a Da With Bones. This question of bow to use bones la asked vary often. Rural New Yorker answers: Yon cannot make fine bone meal on tba farm without a steamer and powerful grinder. Yon can soften the bone by packing then In layers wltb wood ashes. Put aa eight inch layer of broken bone at tba bottom of a box or barrel. Then put a layer of vnleacbed " wood ashes, then morr bono, and so on to tba top. Keep tba wool mass wail wetted wltb liquid manure at aria.

I havo been breeding standard bred poultry for about ten years. Previous to this I thought anything that wore feathers and resembled a hen would answer the purpose, but experience has taught mc better. I have been breeding Buff Plymouth Rocks almost from their Introduction and have vound tbem very profitable both for fancy and market purposes. I want to tell your readers the results I obtained from an Investment of $12 in Buff Hock eggs a year ago. this spring, ss I have kept a strict account of the chicks raised and the profit de rived from tbuin separate from the rest of my flock. I sent a noted west ern breeder $12 for 40 Buff Itock eggs, and he was to send me eggs from his best birds. These 43 eggs were set the 20tb of April, 1000, under some game hens which I borrowed from a neigh bor. These hens were the worst things to break eggs I ever had any experi ence with, for when hatching day came (May 11) there only remained 83 eggs In the nests. Krom the 83 eggs 80 strong, healthy chicks were hatched. Not satisfied with breaking eggs, these pesky game hens trampled two chicks to death In the nest, which left mo with only 28 chicks, and I raised the whole 28 to maturity, Now, to show tho profit I have made on these 28 chicks to date (April 20, 1001), I quote from ray poultry account book. After culling ont and selling surplus birds I bad left nine females and two cockerels, which were kept for breed ing purposes. Following Is the ac count as it appears In my account book: Sold live cockerels at $1, $2.50, 75 cents, $5 and $3 respectively; one pair, $."! 100 Incubator eggs, $3; eggs for hatching to date (April 20), $11; sold eggs to stores during winter, $3.15; used in the house four dozen, $1; totnl, $80.40. My expenses were: Eggs for batch ing, $12; express, 00 cents; feed aud other expenses, $11.80; total, $23.00; profit $13.44, or an average of a trifle over $1.44 per bead, Including male and females, with the original nine females and two male yet on hand, which, figuring from tbe average price by which the other stock waa sold ($2.15), would be worth about $23.03, or a total profit of $30.00. There Is a prevailing Idea among a very largo class that a hen Is a ben and one Is just ns good as another, so I quote the above for the benefit of this class. Poultrymen who have and are making tbe business a success will tell you that standard bred poultry I the most profitable In every way, and this decision conies from knowledge snd ex perience In their business.
