CUSHLA
By John
Y the banks of Shannon I wooed thee, dear Mary,
ouuiiner line winter is cheerless to me;
I heed not If snow falls or flow'rets are springing,
For my heart's light Is darkened, my cuslila mil chree.
Oh, bright shone the morning when first as my bride, love.
Thy foot like a sunbeam my threshold crossed o'er.
And blest on our hearth fell thut soft eventide, dove.
When first on my bosom thy heart lay, asthore!
Restlessly now. on my lone pillow turning,
Wear the night watches, hi ill tUhiklng on tbee.
And darker than night breaks the light of the morning.
For my aching eyes find thee riot, ruslila ma chree.
Oh, my loved one, my lost one, why didst thou leave me
To linger on earth with my heart In the grave?
Oh, would tby cold arms, love, might ope to receive me
To my rest 'neath the dark boughs that over thee wave!
Still from our once happy dwelling I roam, love,
Evermore seeking, my own bride, for thee;
Oh, Mary, wherever thou art Is my home, love,
And I'll soon lie beside theo, my cushla ma chree!
A COMBINATION ROAD
ADVANTAGES OF A DIRT AND STONE
HIGHWAY.
Lea. Ezaea.lve to Keep ta Repair
Thaa Oae Built Entirely of Either
Material Cheapest and Holt Con
Tealeat Read For Many Section..
"There are not a few people who de
cry the, dirt road as being utterly
worthless under any and all circum
stances," says William E. Voorhees in
the Good Roads Magazine. "Accord
tag to these numerous critics no road
worthy ef the name can be made of
dirt It Is a wasteful and extravagant
creation; a thing that swallows taxes,
mires horses and wagons, 'fills the trav
eler with dust, and, in short, is an evil
from any standpoint that it may be
viewed.' The opponents of the dirt
road naturally look upon the stone
highway as an ideal thoroughfare.
They point to its excellent tractive
qualities; they call attention to the
fact that It is dry in winter as well as
In summer, and they argue that It Is
the consummation to be desired by
every progressive community.
"Now, the fact of the matter is-as
any unprejudiced student of the road
Question will admit neither of these
views is wholly correct The dirt road
a ordinarily built and maintained Is
a very poor affair, especially in the
winter and early spring months, but
there are seasons when a dirt road Is
preferable to a stone highway for light
driving. The stone road, If well built,
la so far In advance of the dirt high
way that many people have reached
the conclusion that as a matter of con
venience and . economy the former
should supplant the latter in every
case. "3ot the stone road has Its lim
itations. .In dry weather It is not
pleasant to travel over on account of
the noise that la caused by the horses'
hoofs and the wagon .tires ' coming In
contact with the hard material. The
Ideal highway would therefore appear
to be one which comDines uw oes
features of the two most pronounced
types of roadway nameiy. wo um
an4 the stone.. The beet method to
economise in stone road construction
Is to decrease the width of the track.
A stone road eight feet in width neces
rii costs but one-half as much as a
highway sixteen feet wide, and In the
large majority of cases w win muwh
tha nnrnoaa lust as well as the wider
thoroughfare. It will therefore be seen
that the first advantage In favor of the
combination road is that of cheapness
on account of the narrow atone track
which la possible with this type of
highway. --
Tha mtt disadvantage of a dirt
read la that It will bold water and Is
euily cut Into ruts and Holes, wruy
ou winter months of alternate frees-
tag and thawing It Is practically Im
possible to keep a wateriofged dirt
road la passable conditio, for travel.
Oa the othar hand, the stone road, hav-t-
. that ia practically mv
perrloos to waler, will remain bard
and arm even In bad weather. The
stone read la therefore etrong at the
point where the dirt road la weak, but

twenty-four feet In width
the stone
track can be constructed on one side.
On a road over twenty-four feet In
width the stone track can be placed
In the middle, with a dirt drive
on either side. The stone portion
should be constructed exactly in
the manner that a macadam or tcl
ford highway Is usually built. The
trench should first "be excavated to the
required depth and proper width. The
stone Is then placed in this trench 'In
courses and thoroughly rolled. Care
should be exercised In the matter of
the drainage of the entire roadbed. It
may be argued that as the stone will
not wear as fast as the dirt some diffi
culty will be experienced In keeping
the dirt portion of the roadway on a
level with the stone track. This ob
jection, however, is more fanciful than
real, as experience has demonstrated
that the teams using the highways are
constantly pulling from one side to
the other, and this serves the doublo
purpose of keeping the dirt well joined
to the atone track and of maintaining
the level of the roadwav."
CANADIAN ROCK ROAD.
Ob. That Wit a. Good a. New After
Tvrentr-flve Year.' Wear.
"Speaking about rock rouds," said
Thomas Jobson of Macon, Mo., to a
Kansas City 8tar reporter, "I remem
ber an old Canadian road built by my
fnthcr In I&jG. lie took the contract
from the municipality of Ht. Catherines
to build a three mile rond through a
town that would outlast anything
hitherto constructed In that country.
He began by grading an oval base
about as they do now. Then he took
cobblestones averaging six inches long
and three or four inches wide and set
them on end on the roadbed, very close
together. Then a man would go over
the stones with a hammer and knock
off the sharp points that extended too
high.
"The next course was what they
called metal. This was fine pieces of
stone which would g9 through a ring
an Inch and a half In diameter. An In
spector went over the work with such
a ring and threw out all pieces which
would not pass through. This metal
was evenly distributed over the cob
blestones and rolled with a 700 pound
rDllcr. The final course was gravel.
This was much finer than the metal
and filled every crack. It was then
well rolled. When so treated the sur
face of the road was as smooth sad
hard ns could be. The road was some
thing of a novelty up In Canada In
those days. There was a great dMl
of heavy hauling through Bt CatherlSJi,
and many previous attempts bad ben
made to secure a permanent roadway
through town.
"I was up there twenty-five year
sfter father's old rond wss built and
found It In almost ss good condition
as It was when I first saw It The
people said thry had made a number
of attempts to construct similar roads,
bat had never succeeded In building
one that wotikl stand the test of time

SUGAR CANE" SIRUP.
,: Bmnlt. of Two Years' Bxpcrlm.ata
! I Georgia.
I Dr. H. JV Wiley of the bureau of
' chemistry at Washington has made a
report on the Investigations that have,
been under way in the culture of sugar
cauo and its manufacture Into table
sirup at Waycross and Cairo, Ga, of
the principal problems presented for
solution. . l)r, Wiley notes, first the
agricultural problem. This relates to
the character of the soil on which the
canes are grown In the regions of the
south Atlantic and tbo gulf, where the
climate Is favorable to the production
Of sugar cane. vThe soil of these locali
ties, as is well known, Is composed
largely of sand, und the native forest
which once covered tbem was almost
exclusively of pine. The pine tree Is
one which grows with perhaps less
i drain upon the elements of the soil
than almost any other forest growth.
The quantity of organic material, how
ever; which the pine tree deposits upon
the soil is perhaps less than that of al
most liny other, forest growth; hence
it happens that the virgin sol of these
regions is not only deficient In the
mineral elements of the plant food,
owing to the fact that they are com
posed chiefly of siliceous material," but
also In material of organic origin
namely, humus. The natural fertility
which these soils have when first culti
vated is therefore rapidly exhausted
by the ordinary system of cropping
which has been practiced. It Is a fact
which has been established by observa
tion and experiment that soils which
are somewhat deficient In fertility pro
duce crops of exceptionally fine. tex.
ture and character. This Is due prob
ably to the fact that an overabundance
of plant food forces a plant to a some
what coarse as well as vigorous
growth, thus modifying to a certain
extent the quality and flavor of the
food products which grow upon It It
is probable therefore that soil of lim
ited fertility, such as the sandy soils
of the regions mentioned, while pro
ducing a smaller crop of sugar cans
will give one of greater purity and
therefore of greater suitability for the
manufacture of table sirup than could
be grown on rich alluvial soils. The
high purity of the Juices of many of
the canes grown In this region attest
the accuracy of this theory.
What Fertlllsatloa WUI Do,
According to Dr. Wiley, the results
of the experimental work show that
without judicious fertilization the ton
nage of sugar cane produced per acre
is very small, falling sometimes to five
tons and even less per acre. On the
other band, by Judicious fertilisation,
by proper rotation of crops and by the
growth of cowpeas and other legum
Inous plants which help to furnish ni
trogen for succeeding crops it Is pot;
Bible on the sandy soils above describ
ed to secure very fair yields of sugar,
thirty-nine tons per acre having been
harvested in One instance.
The results Of the agricultural ex
periments show that It Is comparative
ly easy on the snndy soils mentioned to
produce crops of from fifteen to twen
ty-flve tons per acre.
The experiments in question were
carried out in co-operation with prac
tical Georgia cane growers snd sirup
makers, and further details of them

Today pigs readily mature at eight
to ten months. Tbe corn belt type Is
compact, blocky and short legged, with
well developed shoulders, back, loin
and hams, has a quiet disposition, a
marked tendency to obesity and early
maturity and la frequently deficient In
bone and In reproductive power. This
type Is largely the outgrowth of feed,
especially the use of corn, and environ
ment Another factor In the develop
ment of this type has been the market
demand for young bogs weighing from
200 to 300 pounds.
It Is fortunate for farmers that tbe

rHE MOLTING PERIOD.
Method at Aldlaa- r.wt. to Get Raw
Coat of Feather.
The intent "of any assistance offered
fowls In casting off the old and don
ning the new feathers I to put the fe
males In condition to take up the work
of producing eggs through the winter
j mouths, and by means of forcing the
molt this reason Is obtained,' says Ne
braska Farmr.
The method employed Is simple hi
the extreme and slong the lines adopt,
ed by nature, as seen when one comes
to study tbe matter. Tears ago a well
known breeder In New York conduct
ed some valuable experiments along
this line, and all succeeding experi
ments have employed tbe principles laid
down in that exprlment Food Is with'
held from the fowls for a period of
about two weeks, causing tbe surplus
fat on tbe frame to be consumed. Fol
lowing this a system of heavy feeding
rich In feather forming qualities is em
ployed, and the results have proved
very satisfactory,
Tbe West Virginia station gave the
system a. test with results that were
highly gratifying, using a pen each of
Rhode Island Reds and White Leg
horns, which were placed In a yard 15
by 100 feet, no feed except such as they
were able to pick up In tbe run being
given them. At tbe end of thirteen
days they were fed a liberal ration of
mash, beef scraps, corn, wheat snd
oats. The hens ceased laying on the
seventh day after the test began. At
the end of thirty days they had practi
cally a new coat of feathers. At the
end of five weeks nearly half the flock
were laying regularly. Other pens of
bens allowed to forage and fed regu
larly throughout the time of the test
were only beginning to molt and egg
production bad fallen to only a few
eggs from the entire number dally.'
On tbe farm' hens are seen In all
stages of tbe molt from August until
December. In fact hens are sometimes
destitute of feathers in tbe coldest
weather.
Hens that do not molt early seldom
lay before spring, so It behooves us to
try some methods of Inducing an early

profitable hen for the farmer to keep.
We doubt If there could be found 100
barnyard or mongrel bens that could

MAKING A NEW BREED.
How the Sllrer Penciled Wyandotte
Waa Produced.
The first' step in the production of
the Silver Penciled Wyandotte consist
ed of mating a dark Brahma ben to a
partridge Wyandotte male; which re
sulted in silver females and In silver
males with red wings, says American
Agriculturist Simultaneously dark
Brahma and Silver Penciled Hamburg
females were mated to a Silver Laced
Wyandotte male. .These matlugs pro
duced Wyandotte Brabmas and Wyan
dotte Ham burgs; therefore thcoffsprlng
of the mating of the latter contained
one-half Wyandotte, one-quarter Brah
ms and one-quarter Hamburg blood.
While the object was the production of
a specimen well defined In tbo minds of
the originators, there appeared at in
tervals in the process a Variety of col

selection then became a oerlous one.
The ordeal of beginning again fre
quently called Into play a high quality
of judgment and a vast fund of pa
tience.
Tbe staudard calls for yellow shanks
snd skin. These are oftentimes difficult
to obtain, together with the desired
white in tbo feather. The two colors
are really somewhat Inconsistent con.
sideling the natural plumage, of the
Silver Penciled Wyandotte, as tbo yel
low pigment Is. likely to run Into the
feather and deaden the bright, clean
white necessary to make up tbe desired
contrast with the black. Tbe male birds
seem to hold tbo yellow shanks tnoro
naturally than the females. If there
fore tbe breeder finds a dusky yellow
appearing on the female shanks, ho
must hot bo discouraged; it Is nature
and bardly truly objectionable. Pos
sessed of an unusunl share of beauty,
they are likewise a. general utility fowl.
They are full, round and plump and
reach maturity quickly. The standard
weights are: Cock, eight and a half
pounds; tbe hen six and a half pounds
snd tbe pullet five and a half pounds.
Larger birds are often exhibited, and
tbe Increase in weight seems not to
have interfered with a high score. Tbe
utility bird may be bred to weight,
but tbe exhibition bird ought not to
run above tbo standard weights.

The pen should consist of as many
