airs. jubu8 was paying no heed to
the negro now. She looked dreamily
out through the window at the mellow
sunlight of spring. A longing came
over her for her old home. She had en
dured the long and cruel winter with
a stoical patience, but the reluctant
spring made the sap of yearning rise in
her veins. Suddenly she burled her
face in her handkerchief, and like a
faithful dog George began to whine:
"Dar, little mistlss; les' to' wait ail

"Oh, go away, you worthless nigger!"
Mrs. Custls exclaimed, putting down
her handkerchief, and be jumped ex

"But, George," Mrs. Custls resumed.
with renewed dignity, "it is true that
your master and I are seriously think
ing of seeking public assistance." Her
delicate cheek flushed at the admission;
but, seeing his look of childish horror,
she proceeded firmly:
'As simple as our living expenses are.
we cannot longer meet them, and we
must ask. for help."
She threw up her little figure and
proudly left the room, but she stumbled
on the threshold, and the negro, with
Intuitive devotion, knew that her eyes
were blinded with tears.
He stared with a dropped jaw at the
open door through which she had gone.
Then, with a volatile grin, he jumped
to his feet and, performing a skillful
clog dance, seized his disreputable hat
and bolted from the house.
About a year before this Mr. Custls
and his wife had drifted to the great
city of New York. They came from
Georgia, leaving their home desolate In
order to be near their daughter, who
had married a clever young artist It
did not take the parents long to discov
er that their son-in-law bad difficulty In
supporting his little family, so they,
protesting grandly that they had an
ample Income, moved to a cheap little
flat on the east side and In the fright
ful closeness of a few narrow rooms
began an existence that was slow tor-
tare to their pride.
One day George Harries, one of the
most unregenerate negroes In all New
York, sidled up on their front steps and
polled the belL A negro is not natu

The negro's face broke Into sudden
smiles. Like so many of his race, he
had a childish smile and beautiful

it was a pleasure to watch the postur

and yet dramatic.
The magistrate watched him intent

panting against the desk, his honor

UaUasj Brla-Sit, Swaet Clavar Hay.
In regard to making clover bay a
correspondent writes to Country Gen
tleman: Here is my pla,n for practical use:
Cut the clover when It shows perhaps
two-thirds of Its blossoms. Do not
start the machine until 10 a. m or un
til tbe dew has mostly dried out from
the clover, and cut only so much as
can be raked and cocked before 4 p.m.
Tbe first thing after noon turn while
the clover Is hot with tbe sun's rays.
rake and cock in small sixed cocks. If
the crop is very heavy, of a large
growth, I do not use the Dorse rake, but
go in with a fork and pick it up and
cock It up in this way; then. If you
wish, run the bone rake over tbe
ground and gather np any scatterings
that may be left If tbe weather bids
fair, leave it In tbe cock for a day at
least; then, about 11 a. m open out
enough for a toad to be draws the first
thing after noontime, opening enough
for the second load just at the time of
loading tbe load opened before noon.
keeping only a load opened ahead of
the team. If tbe sun Is very warm 1
do- not spread out thin, but simply
break the cocks apart Into two or three
parts.
When drawing In put as much, as
possible at one drawing Into tbe same
mow. The less air to reach tbe mow
tbe better.' Keep the barn closed so as
to avoid the rushing of air through the
mow. Should rain come on after tbe
clover is -cocked up I go out each day
and cock It all Over, taking the top and
using that for the bsse. This airs it
and prevents coloring or mold and does
not allow the rain and sun to cause tbe
leaves to drop off or tbe stem to be
come bard and brittle. -
To commence the handling of clover,
as I nave practiced, is very much
like the beginning of tbe use of a
smoothing harrow or weeder. It takes
lots of fsith In other men's practices
and considerable "sand;" but like
many other of tbe modern methods, tt
works like a charm.

Here joa must depend on the sugar

sccompllshed by mixing - together the

establishment of central factories,
where tbe cane grown In the neighbor

these great Industries, sugar and starch

FOE GOOD HIGHWAYS
THE BROWNLOW BILL FOR IMPROV
ING OUR ROADS.

, The Brown low good roads bill which
was Introduced st tbe present session
of congress has attracted attention
throughout tbe country and Is of In
terest to sll communities. It Is s step
in the right direction, as It has recently
been estimated that our poor highways
are costing us $fl&0,000,0007 early in re
pairs. The Brownlow measure provides
for the organisation of a new bureau
in the department of agricultuac to be
known as tbe bureau of public roads
and also for a system of national, state
and local co-operation In tbe perma
nent Improvement of highways. The
object of tbe proposed bureau is to In
struct assist and co-operate In the
building and Improvement of the pub
lic roads at the discretion of Its direc
tor and under the supervision of bis
assistants. One-half of the expense of
the work Is to be paid from the nation
al .treasury and the balance by tbe
state or political subdivision thereof,
the apportionment being according to
population. To carry out tbe proposed
measure an appropriation of $20,000.
000 It aaked for.
The fact that the United 8tates gov
ernment has taken no substantial part
In building or maintaining public high
ways In this country, for tne last two
generations is accepted by many peo
ple as final proof that the general gov
ernment Is forbidden, either by consti
tutional limitations or by sound public
policy, from engaging In any such In
ternal Improvement On the other
hand. It should be noted that no system
of public highways was ever built up
or maintained In any. country without
the substantial aid of the general gov
ernment of that country. Tbe almost
universal nick of Improvement in re
gard to our public road system Is di
rectly referable, to the fact that there
has been no well eetabllabed system
or policy pertaining to tbe question.
Those who have done most to agitate
for . permanent improvements have
found that tbe fanners of the country
nave almost invariably been opposed
to any general plan heretofore suggest
ed for the building up of permanent
and durable roads, although It Is gen
erally conceded that tbe farmers would
be benefited as much as. If not more
than, any other class of people by sucb
roads.
Tbe real reason for tbe fanner's ob
jection is found in tbe fact that ac
cording to tbe ordinary scheme of im
provement he would be called upon to
pay the entire burden of cost, which
he Intuitively feels to be greater than
he ought to.Jear,. If not greater than
be la able to bear.. Considering this
long continued' opposition by the peo
ple in the rural diatricta and tbe lack
of policy on the part of tbe general
government and especially considering
that- roedbulldlng Is undoubtedly a
public duty wbicb rests upon the gov
ernment In some form, it seems likely
that the farmers are entitled to some
assistance in bearing the- necessary
burden, of cost to Improve tbe public
highways and that the United States
government should Jitep forward with
some definite policy snd sseume some
share of the burden and responsibility
which is necessary to produce a cred
itable system of public highways snd
which has, as stated above, never been
effected in any country at any time
without tbe substantial aid aad en
couragement of the general govern
ment of tbe country.
The Brownlow hill seeks to establish
such a policy to be followed by the
United States. It Is a policy of co-operation
and seeks to bring In tbe general
government as a co-operating factor to
work in connection with any state or
political subdivision thereof, so thst
the United States should furnish one
hslf the cost of Improvement and tbe
state or political subdivision thereof co
operating abould furnish tbe other half.
The eettstJtuties) ef tbe United States
puts ne each limitation upon tha gov
ernment as to prevent the co-operation
provided for in this bill, snd so far as
public policy Is concerned that remains
to ha settled by the eonsensus ef opin
ion of the people of the United States.

OIL IN R0ADMAKING

In California tbe use of oif Is past
the experimental stage, and Its success
Is attested by the thousands of miles of
roads and streets In the state that are
either already oiled or for whose treat
ment plnns are being made. Nearly
every municipality In California is en
gaged in Improving its residence
streets with oil, and every county is
letting contracts for the oiling of coun
try roads.
The recent Boston experiment with
I'ennsylranin oil In roadmaklng waa
doomed to failure. The Pennsylvania
oil, with Its pa ratlin base, is not suited
for roads, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. It will lay the dust tem
porarily and on a macadam road may
be effective for this purpose for "a
period of three months." But tbe east
ern oil evaporates rapidly, emitting the
disagreeable odor complained of, and
soon leaves only a dry, brittle re
siduum, which Is quickly pulverised
and added to the dust of the rood. Tbe
California oil has an asphalt base that
need on roads containing from 40 to CO
per cent of asphaltum and when prop
erly uilxed with the soil, forms s bitu
men. The. oil has been used on tbe macad
am roads of Golden Gate park In San
Franciwco with satisfactory results.
Only for four or live dsys after its ap
plication was the odor offenslvc'and
no word of complaint Is ever beard on
account of tbe smell. With one sprin
kling a year these roads have sustain
ed sn enormous travel, being among
the most opular driveways In the
park. But It is in the making of a
road metal by saturation of a layer of
soli with oil thut the great amount of

a crust Is formed almost as good as
bituminous pavement, and this wheth

Tbe elasticity of a well prepared road
Is all that can be desired. It yields
agreeably under foot and vehicle. It
la free from dust in summer and from
mud In winter and can be kept as clean
as an asphalt pavement. After driving
over it for several boars there is no
trace of dust or speck of oil on buggy
or clothing of driver.
While the odor from a California
oiled rood may be detected for several
days after treatment. It Is not objec
tionable. Only liuiuiHll.itely following
application Is it at all dixugreesble. The
people of California find no objection
on account of tiie smell, and the exten
sion of oiled rouds Is welcomed every
where. They are no longer an experi
ment and no one would lie willing to
dispense with them. Householders and
travelers are no longer troubled with
dust, the rain water is quickly shed to
tbe gutter, the roads are always clean,
snd tbe oil does not pack to tbe feet of
tha pedestrians.
The cost of treatment of a uille of
road for three years st tbo present
Dricc of oil will not exceed (300, of
which one-half will be expended tbe
first year. Tbe best results have been
obtained where two applications were
made the first yesr, one the second and
one tbe third. After that It Is only nec
essary to keep tbe road In repair. At a
recent convention of California's munic
ipal officers tbe city engineer of V
no. where streets and country roads
are being oiled extensively, gave an
tlmate of the cost at that place. Tbe
price of oil averaged 75 cents a barrel,
125 barrels being required for the first
application and fifty to seventy-five
barrels for tbe second, making a total
cost of about $200 a mile. Tbe cost of
water sprinkling per mile in Fresno,
where the summer Is long and dry. bad
been 9700 annually. One of the more
recent projects In tbe Interior of the
state te the oiling of tbe stage road
from Raymond to tbe Tosemlte valley.
Experiments In sprinkling with Cali
fornia oil began In southern California
seven years ago, and since then much
has been learned of Its use. It bas been
determined that tbe gravity of the oil

ity to varlotta soils. For sandy aad al
luvial soils the heavy quality of oil pro
duces tbe best results, while tbe lighter
alls are better for clay snd adobe tolls.
Before oiling tbe roadbed t boo id be
carefully prepared, well graded and
shaped and the surf see smoothed jnd
packed as firmly as possible. Tbe oil
should be applied In such quantity ss

It Is not much use to put corn Into

some warm days, but warm nights ss
well. When planted too early, even if
the seed germinates Instead of rotting
hi tbe ground. It cornea forward slowly,
looks pale or yellow and la overtaken
before tbe ears are filled out by that
which la planted later. It may be well
to try a few rows of sweet corn to tbe
garden early, to be followed later by
another and yet ether plantings, to
keep up a succession, and If the first
falls tbe hlllo caa be replanted.

A dairy with thirty to forty cows
should net tbe owner a pretty fair liv

complish this a silo is almost essential'
for storing up winter food, aays 8. I
Waisting In American Cultivator:
silo built for about thla number of
cows should cost from $100 to $200 to
build, a good deal depending upon
whether you build one square or round.
A square silo 10 feet by 10 by 80 feet
should approximately hold 145 to 150
tons of ensilage. If an this Is kept in
fine condition, It will supply ample food
for winter, and tbe cows will give
milk than If fed simply bay and grain.
Tbe succulent nature of the ensilage
tends to satisfy tbe cows and te in
crease tbe milk supply. -
Tbe question of bow much ensilage
should be fed s day to cattle in winter
bas been varioualy estimated, but prob
ably forty pounds per bead per day
comes about as near to tbe average of
good feeding as we can make. One
may easily figure out on this basis how
many cows can be supported on the en
silage put away. One large silo will
give better results than two or three
email ones. If tbe cows number only
thirty, the slxe mentioned above should
answer tbe purpose, and for every ad
ditional ten cows Increase tbe dimen
sions by about two feet In each direc
tion. A alio much larger than SO feet

Cornmeal Is relatively expensive, bat
its good effects on tbe quality of batter

gested: The grain should be mixed in

100 pounds.
This may be fed by measure after
weighing four quarts to determine tha
weight of a given bulk. The gsala
feeds should be fed twice dally on tbe
silage, and tbe bay should be fed after
nil other feeding night and morning.
No noon feed Is necessary, provided aa
