The Improvement In Beeves'.
A lew years ago there was a notion
lhat good beeves coukl not be maile
before tiiey were at least fotiv years
olcl. What a difference now, and all
because of the introduction of better
blood, breeding and management,
combined with scientific feeding. All
these have reduced the age of market
ing to about half.
Sug'gektionfi For Kiliins Wcril,
' The easiest way to get rid of lmvs is
to sow oats or wheat in the fields where
the weed is found, and after the grain
Las been removed to mow the burs be
fore they can ripen. Ragweed, too,
can be destroyed in this way by moiv
iug the pasture or grain field in which
it is found. Burdock i:t hard to kill,
but by cutting it deep in the grcuud
just before it ripens for a year or two
it can always be gotten rid of. By
cutting several times dnriug the sea
son all the larger and oklev weeds can
be killed and the smaller ones reduced
in growth or their roots grubbed out.
One of the worst weeds that can be
found in the pasture is tho thistle.
The best time to mt or grub tuenx is
just before they bloom. It ill be
necessary to go over the field more
than once for the late maturing
thistles. If the field is carefully
searched each time it ought not to be
: difficult matter to rid it entirely of
this troublesome weed.
Mauusias- the Inritljatur.
We have an incubator that will hold
150 tgg-. It is heated by water. The
tank that holds the water will hold
forty-live gallons. We heat the water,
put it iuto the tank and let it get
warm enough to run the thermometer
up to 110 degrees. Then we put the
eggs iu the trays. In six hours we
look at them. The temperature by
that time nearly always has run down
to 103, where we desire to keep it as
nearly as possible. After the egg
have been iu ten days wo test them,
fating oat all that are not fertile, as
ueh eggs have a tendency to lower
the he?.t. We think the chickens that
are hatched iu an incubator are just as
healthy as any if they are kept out of
the cold and rain. We put the little
chicks with hens and they are less
care. We have the Plymouth liocks,
and think they are as good a breed as
the farmer can get. They are large
aud easily fattened and with proper
care in winter are good layers.
We believe that there is as much
profit in ducks as from any other line
of poultry breeding, providing one has
the right breed. The Pekin is the
best geueral purpose duck. It is the
best table fowl of the duck family,
having large, full, deep breast. The
nice yellow skin of the Pekin makes
it easy to dress; its pure white plum
age makes it the most beautiful of
birds. The standard weight of the
adult duck is eight pounds, but it cau
very easily be made to weigh more.
We have had them weigh eleven
pounds. The duck can be raised suc
cessfully without water to swim in,
but it mu3t have plenty of drinkiug
water. We would not advise more
than four ducks to one drake. Ducks
commence laying in February, and
with good cave will not miss many
mornings iu laying until July. Ducks
are not susceptible to disease and lice,
and after they are three or lour weeks
old will not need half the attention
that is required to raise young chicks.

behind one of the rear wheels of the
wagon. The driver stops to rest his
team, and instead of applying the
brake the team is allowed to slacken
its traces so the weight of the load
will rest on the self-acting chock
block. When the team starts again
the team merely has to start the load
instead of having to pull agaiust the
brake until it can be loosened.
Points on Making Clieece.
The first thing which I observe in
the manufacture of cheese is cleanli
ness, not only in the factory, but
among the different cows and their
keepers as well. All the animal heat
should pass, from the morning's milk
before it is mixed with the evening
milk, and then it is transported xtlih
out being jarred or jostled very much.
In the factory I receive no milk from
cans which are not cleaned and
steamed daily. It must be sweet and
pure.
Add enough coloring to give a rich,
creamy tint, and then heat the milk
slowly to eighty-five degrees and add
diluted rennet. I dilute it to prevent
curd before the rennet is thoroughly
rhixed. It takes about five minutes
to mix. I require from twenty-live
to thirty minutes for a good curd. If
I ever have a floating curd I draw off
the greater part of the whey aud add
some moderately warm water. This
is to weaken the lactic acid and re
duce the acid to the proper amount.
Then heat as before, not heating above
ninety-five degrees iu cooking. In
cooking, the maker has the curd un
der his control, if he bf.s not added
too much rennet. Eeunet doe not
aid in ripeaiug cheese, aud I use as
little as I eau. It simply chauges the
milk to a gelatinous mass. When the
whey is drawn off, the curd should be
soft and retain moisture. It must
then cool slowly to eighty-five degree,
when salt is? added, but not too much.
The salting should be in proportion to
the amount of rennet.
The enrd is then iu condition to oe
cured. It should be entirely free
from all taints and odors. Allow it
to remain in the press from four to six
hours, then remove, dress and place
in press again until next morning.
The curing room should always be
darkened and the same moderate tem
perature maintained with good ventila
tion, not allowing gases and foreign
substances to enter the room. Tho
cheese should be greased, well and
turned at six in the morning and again
at sis in the evening of each day.
Ten to twelve days are required for
my cheese to cure. W. L. McCain,

JJaeli Cliansed to Crank Chum.
There are a large number of butter
makers who will use only the old
fashioned dash churn, believing that
it gives the best results, quality and
quantity of butter considered. The
great fault of the dash churn is the la
bor of operating it, so much of the
exerted force of the operator being,
lost on account of no machinery to
utilize it as in the crank churn. In
Figs. 1 aud '2, dash churns are con
verted into crauk churns. In the de
vice shown in Fig. 1 an old buggy
wheel can be used for the fly-wheel.
All the iron work, such as the crank
shaft, bearings, pitman, etc., can be
made by any blacksmith at a small ex
pense. The framework any farmer
will be able to make himself. The

two posts used in the first device need
not be very large or heavy, but just
wide enough to permit the wheel to
turn inside of the two supports on
which the bearings rest. In the sec
ond figure an iron fly-wheel such as
is found on an old cider press is used.
It is adapted to a small churn.
" Exhausted" Soil.
Aceordiug to the modern idea, au
exhausted soil is one which will not
produce a paying crop. The term
''exhausted" is in reality only u rela
tive one, because any soil which cau
be at all' utilized for farming purposes
must evidently possess some of tho
elements which go to make up plant
growth. An analysis made of many
lands now producing only scrubby
growth would reveal the presence of
sufficient plaut nourishment to grow
bouutiful crops for hundreds of years
to come.
The question then naturally sug
gests itself: Why is it that a soil con
taining plenty of plant food may yet
fail to produce an average yield? The
answer to this question is a compara
tively simple one. The soils were
formed long ages ago, and during all
of the intervening time the xlaut-food
locked tip beneath the surface has
bseu combining aud rocombiniug uu
til it has come to be au almost insolu
ble condition. The average plant lacks
the power to nulock this plant-food
while in .snch a state, and is, there
fore, in much the sam position as a
tnau iu tlie middle of the ocean with
out any suitable drinking water. He
dies of thirst while surrounded by the
very substance he is seeking, because
of his inability to convert it to his own
use.
The agencies which assist in making
plant-food more available are water,
sunlight, and thorough cultivation of
the soil.- Through these a portion at
least of the plant-food can be made
available and the productive capacity
of the laud greatly increased. Vege
table matter, or humus, as it is called,
is another factor which plays an im
portant part in making inert plant
food available to growing crops. It a
soil is destitute of humus, it is much
more difficult for plauts to get their
food from it. On the other hand, if
a soil contains plenty of humus, the
decomposition of this vegetable mat
ter helps to dissolve the more insolu
ble substanees, thus converting them
into available plant-food.
Every farmer should see that- his
land is well supplied with humus or
vegetable matter, which can be done
most cheaply by growing cow-peas or
clover and turning them under. Too
much of this, however, would sour the
land. Therefore, as an offset, a dose
of slaked lime, say about forty bushels
per acre, should be applied once in
about every five years. The lime will
not only hasten the decomposition of
the organic matter, but will also' uu
lock some of the latent plant food in
the soil, notably potash. By a thorough
system of cultivation the physical con
dition of the soil can bo greatly im
proved, enabling the air to havefreer
access, thus facilitating oxidation, and
causing the soil-water to percolate more
freely. This will dissolve the plant
food and move it about in the soil so
a3 to be. readily available to the roots.
It must "be remembered, .however,
that the soil is like a bank. If con
tinually drawn upon without replen
ishing, it will soou become bankrupt;
hence the wise farmer will see that he
at least maintains au equilibrium by
depositing annually what is drawn
out. This guards against the gradual
removal of plant-food, aad it is Avell
to remark here, that after a soil has
once become run down, it is a very
difiicultmatter to build it up again.
A far more economical plan, therefore,
would be to gradually increase the
productive capacity of the, laud.--Farm,

GOOD ROADS NOTES,
In Behalf of Better Roads.
The convention iu Milwaukee for
the purpose of discussing the problem
of better roads in Wisconsin empha
sizes afresh the vital relations which
public highways sustain to national
prosperity and national development.
Every year our farmers lose thou
sands of dollars on account of the end
less delays and mishaps to which they
ara subjected in hauliug produce to
market over bad roads; aud if only
one-half of the money which is spent
annually iu repairing wagons and ve
hicles prematurely broken down be
cause of bad roads could be spent in
repairing public highways, much of
the trouble which now exists would
be overcome. Under present condi
tions, the evils arising from bad roads
in many parts of the country are such,
that in rainy weather it is wholly im
possible to use them, while even in
good weather they are so defective
that travel over them is attended with
manifold disadvantages.
There are many things which can be
neglected with greater impunity than
public highways and wise statesmau
ship can employ itself to no better ad
vantage than iu devising ways and
meaus for improving public highways.
Indeed, it is not extravagant to say
that public highways sustain the same
relation to tho community at large
that blood vessels aud arteries sustain
to the humau body; and if defects in
the latter are accompanied with seri
ous results, it is no more than is true
of the former. Other things being
equal, national prosperity and national
devolopmeut depend largely upon
good roads.
One reason why Home enjoyed such
worldwide power during the days of
the Caesars was that she devoted her
self with such diligence to the build
iug of those magnificent highways
which remain to-day the marvel of th
whole earth. She recognized the fact
that her roads were the great channel
through which her commercial life
blood was to circulate aud that her na
tional prosperity depeuded largely
upon her roads. Perhaps if she had
devoted herself with equal diligence
to needed reforms in other directions
she might be to-day where sho was
eighteen centuries ago.
Far-sighted it en in every part or
the country are at length waking up
to the importance of good roads aud
are doing everything in their power io
convince the country that good roads
must be constructed before national
progress can be marked. Hence, in
justice to the interests of the whole
country as well as in justice to the in
terests of the farmers who are direct
ly and immediately affected, it is of
the utmost importance that good roads
should be made the burden of thought
ful consideration iu every State in the
Union.
Much interest will be felt iu the 'Je
suit cf the convention iu Milwaukee,
Wis.-, not only because of the good
which it promises to accomplish in
that State, but also because of the
good effects which it will likely pro
duce iu other States. Atlanta Con
stitution. Tet Weather Bonds Xeciltul.
Perhaps never does the need of
good roads manifest itselt so strongly
in a community of farmers as where
they attempt to carry on a co-operative
enterprise, such as a creamery or
a cheese factory. So long as the
farmer remains at home ou his own
laud, it makes no difference to him
whether his roads be smooth as asphalt
or rough and stony as a mountain
pass; or whether they be hard aud
level like tho English highways of
macadam, or soft aud sticky like the
ground about the pig's pen.
It is only when it comes to going to
town, especially if it is with a load of
crops, that the condition of the high
ways cuts any figure. Aud it be
comes more important than ever
where farmers are obliged to drive to
a creamery each day in the year with
their milk. In most of the States
dairying has only of late become a
great industry, but its continued
growth calls more loudly than ever
for the construction of roads which
will enable the creamery patrons to
deliver their milk without wearing
out their horses, whenever the weather
takes an unfavorable turn. Wet
weather reads are needed, aud dairy
ing cau never be a complete success
without them.
Lab ova lory For ltoart Materials.
Under a recent act of the Maryland
General Assembly, the Highway Di
vision of the Maryland Geological
Survey is collecting information con
cerning the present condition and
methods of maintenances of the State
highways, and are testing in their lab-oratoi-y
the rocks from atl portions of
the State in order to learn their rela
tive values for road purposes.
The Anti-But Agitation.
A good load makes a light load.
Liquid asphalt is being employed to
sprinkle the highways of Kern County,
Cal., near Bakers field. The indica
iions are that the experiment wil be
successful.
Every commissioner of highways
and every pathmaster is auswerable if
he fails to perform his duties proper
ly, and all who are guilty of criminal
neglect should be punished.
Better means of communication are
becoming more and more essential,
not alone to dairymen, but to all far
mers alike. Farmers should be made
less dependent upon the weather.
With earth alone a very passable
road can be made, provided the prin
ciples of location, drainage and shap.o
of surface, together with that of keep
iug the surface as smooth and fiue a?
possible, by rolling, be strictly ad
hered to. v
Miss Harber, Secretary of the In
terstate Association, deplored the poor
returns which Illinois is getting from
the $4,000,000 raised every year for
road purposes, a larger' fund" than is
raised by almost any State. She
urged the farmers to study the ques
tion and organize.

Brockton's prosperity 13 so closoly allied
to the prosperity of the shco industry that it
will, no doubt, prove a matter of interest to a
large number of people to learn the actual
average earniog capacity of each individual
employed in the making of the world-famed
Brockton shoe. Tor illustration: Attho fac
tory of the W. L. Douglass Shoe company the
pay roll for the week ceding Sept. 0, exclud
ing superintendent, foreman, ealesmau and
all clerical heip, shows the average earnings
of the employes, large and small, to be flS.C
per week. This was net an extraordinary
week. It was the customary pny roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not alsvnys tell the story of prosperity.
The number of weeks employed each year is
the determining factor iu the wage earn or'
prosperity. The Douglass factory has been
closed but one week this year, and that for
the usual summer stock taking, and it will be
closed but three days the latter part of De
cember. This would in alio but nine- days out
of the year that the. factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work as tbe most industri
ous shoemaker could desire.
Owing to increased business, another addi
tion is to be made to the Doughiss factorv.
It will be 100 feet long, 40 feet wide, and live
stories hih. It will be ready for occupancy
early in December. This addition increases
the capacity 25 per cent. The V. L. Douglass
Shoo eampany has the largest factory iu the
world, producing an advertised lice $3.50

Tonuny Atkins Discipline.
Tommy Atkius, more especially the
Irishmen, of that namc manages often
to work in a little humor In conjunc
tion with discipline. The Royal Innls
killen Fusiliers were marching to their
irmskfirv eamn and halted for the 1
night, at the littte town of Kesh. The
surgeon captain attached to the regl
nient for the march preferred to sleep
in the' hotel, and his tent was- not
pitched. Four men were told off next
morning, however, according to cus
tom, to strike the doctor's tent, -and,
inarching to Ihe spot where it should
be, found a vacancy.- "Where docs
the doctor stay, anyway?" asked the
old soldier of the party, and he was
told that the doctor had slept at the
hotel. "When the surgeon captain came
out of the hotel he fomid the old soldier
and the three other men waiting out
side, and asked them what they want--ed.
Tarty to strike the doctor's
tent," replied the old soldier, laconi
cally. Whether the four gallant Fusili
ers had Intended to pull down the ho
tel as sooii as the doctor was out of it
did not transpire, for they were sent off
at once to their company. London

We again" offer the cleanest seed wheat on
the market, and from probably the largest
crop yield In the State, if not the United
States.
We had 355 acres in wheat this yenr, and
the crop averaged 20 bushels per ucre.
Where we had a good 6tand, not winter
killed, we had over 40 bushels per acre. One
hundred bushels ot our T?heat will contain
less cocklo seed than one bushel of ordinary
eeed wheat.

Bags hold two bushels and aro new, no
charge for bags. Terms: Gash with order.

Death3 from Foot Binding.
The Chinese saying is, "For each pair
of bound feet there has been a whole
kang, or big path, full of tears," and
they say that one girl out ten dies of
foot binding or of its after effects.
When I quoted this to the Italirn
mother superior at Hankow, who has
for years been head of the Girl School
and Foundling Establishment there,
she said, with tears in her eyes: "Oh!
no. no, that may be true of tho coast
towns." I thought she was going to

in Central China; but to my horror she
