The Drovers'-Vournal, in re ferring to this work in iltjnois. says: As a means of educating the peo ple to the advantages of good roads and of the ways and methods to pro duce them; the State highways com mission of Illinois is pushing as rap idly as possible the construction of a number of experimental roads in var ious sections of the State. One stretch of road has been com pleted at Salem. 111. This road is just outside the limits or the city of Salem. The highway commissioners of Salem township applied for bro- ken stone, which was furnished them, and a piece of road built by the local commissioners; owing to the lack of proper methods the road thus laid was poorly made. The State high way commission completed about 2, 200 feet of the work with the aid of a steam roller and modern methods of construction, making as smooth and fine appearing a piece of road as can be found anywhere. The width of the macadam is about fourteen feet and put on eight inches deep; part of the work was resurfacing the road laid by the local commissioners, at the end of which was abeut 600 feet of newly con structed road. The exact cost of this work cannot be ascertained ow ing to the lack of records on the work done prior to that undercharge of the State highway commission. The estimated cost of this work per mile, including grading and shaping the subgrade, hauling the stone a distance of about a mile and a quar ter, spreading and rolling, is about $2500. The material was furnished free" by the State from the State rock crusher at the Southern Illinois" penitentiary at Menard. The freight on the stone over the Illinois South ern railroad was paid in ballast. The contrast between the portion of road built with the steam roller and that upon which the roller was not used furnishes a most striking illustration of the importance of proper equipment and technical ex perience in highway construction. Good Roads and Mails. It is a severe commentary on the state of civilization of this republic that no first-class wagon or carriage road has as yet been built between Washington, the capital, and the nearest large city, Baltimore. Such a road is about to be built, and it will be constructed by the State of Maryland. The impulse to perform this belated service has sprung from the good roads movement, which owes much of its vitality to the auto xnobilists. Under the influence of this movement, the vicinity of the na tional capital of the United States may within a dozen years or so be as well equipped with roads as Dalmatla or the mountainous districts of Wales now are. A In order not to leave the active work of stimulating the construction of good roads entirely to the motor ists, the Government is going into it in some degree In connection with i the rural free mall delivery. State highway .officials have been addressed on the subject of road improvement by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Postoffice De partment, and the construction of roads is discreetly stimulated along the line of more rapid raail delivery. It is to be hoped that the farmers will see the point of this argument. They certainly ought to. It takes less than one-half the time, and probably costs less than one-half the money, to deliver the mail over a good road than over a bad. If the roads throughout the country were as good as they are in some parts of this State and of Massachusetts and Connecticut', the free delivery could be extended everywhere, for the car riers would be able to cover so much more ground that the cost of the ser vice would be greatly reduced. The people of the United States never paid higher for, any other extrava gance than for its indifference to the matter of good highways. New York Mail. Active in Road Improvement. Autoists from all parts of the Key stone State have learned with inter est that the York (Pa.) Automobile Club is taking an active hand in the good roads problem, and is doing all in its power to have the thorough fares improved. This latest real work has been started on the famous Get tysburg pike, which runs from York to Gettysburg, twenty-eight miles distant. This pike is traveled by thousands of autoists every summer and the improvements are badly needed at certain places. It is the direct run between New York and the National battlefield, and hundreds ) of the metropolitan tourists use it annually. The pike between York and Wrightsville, east to the Susque hanna River, is also receiving Its share of Improvements. This Is part of the same thoroughfare which goes through to Philadelphia. Could Eat, But Not See. A farmer who went to a large city to see the -sight engaged a room at a hotel, and before retiring asked the clerk about the hours for dining. "We have breakfast from 6 to 11, dinner from 11 to 3, and supper from 3 to 8," explained the clerk. "Wa-al, say," Inquired the farmer. In, surprise, "what time air' I goln ter git ter see the town?" Ladies' Home Journal. 1 : -. ." .- ".--:? - TOPICS f INTEREST TOTHtTPLAMTERtSTQCX&ANAN!) TRUCK Value of a Cow. K . ' In undertaking to place an esti mate on the value of a cow the exact amount '-'of milkand butter' fat pro duced should be determined. : : iost people when estimating the value of a cow will be: largely, In fluenced by the statements made, by the owner of the number of gallons of milk , she .will produce. This in formation is usually very misleading, as most persons do not take into con sideration the foam in milk, and again., the party , wishing, to sell a eow will sometimes exaggerate as to her production as well. The milk from a cow, as usually measured, should not be given any consideration, but to know the eiact amount of milk a cow gives It should be weighed with an accurate scale; foam adds nothing to the weight of milk. When the milk from a cow is weighed "morning and evening, then her daily production can be esti mated, but it is better to know the weight of milk produced for a num ber of consecutive milklngs and to take an average of these for deter mining her daily production. After determining the amount of milk produced per day in pounds and ounces, then one should know the av erage butter fat contained therein. This can Je determined by taking a sample from each milking, and from about five Consecutive milkings, put ting these samples together and de termining the per cent, of butter fat in this composite sample. This will be an average per cent, of fat for the time during which the samples were taken. From the average daily pro duction of milk and the average per cent, of fat the average amount of fat produced dally can be ascertained. As six pounds of butter fat thus de termined will make about seven pounds of "butter, the value of the milk for butter-making purposes can be determined. As butter fat is the foundation of cream, the value of the milk put into cream can be estimated. While this" method does not give any idea of the amount of milk and but ter fat a cow will produce during her milking period, It does show how much she is producing in butter or cream for the time being. No dairyman should be without this record of each one of his cows at any time. It will enable him to know when a cow is not producing an amount which justifies her keep, and she can then be replaced with a bet ter cow. Where records are kept as has been suggested at the end of the. milking period the amount of milk and the amount of butter fat from each cow can be estimated and her value for that period pretty closely determined. Wm. D. Saunders, Dairyman Virginia Agricultural Ex periment Station, Blacksburg. The Berry Crop. If you live near a city, nothing is so profitable as a berry crop. If you live away from a market, nothing is nicer for your own table. We cannot understand how our farjners can do without strawberries, and raspberries. The blackberry also deserves consid eration everywhere, except where wild ones are plentiful and near at hand. It is time to begin to prepare for your patch of a row or two, or an acre of two, according to your means. You ladies who want some pin money of your own, and have little children to help, gather them. If you cannot do this have a little berry patch. We always think strawberries the best fruit that grows, until raspberries come in, and then we think they are the best. Eoth are worthy a place in every garden in our South. They al ways help out a supper and round out a dinner; and we never object to them for breakfast. No one has ever been able to reach the maximum yield of our berry crop of either va riety. Wonderful yields have been made. We saw a blackberry bush at our near neighbor's that yielded ten quarts and brought him in the hand some return of $1.00. Putting Jje plants at four by six feet, this would give us 1185 plants per acre, and a revenue of $1185.00 per acre. No one can say this is an impossibility, since one bush has made the propor tionate yield. This amount of straw berries has been made. As to rasp berries we are not so well informed, but as they sell at double the price of either of the other berries, we cannot see why a like return can not be ob tained. There is a good living for the small, farmer who will take wife and children into co-partnership and get down to business and learn bow to grow the many things our market now demands. Don't let's talk cotton until we know of nothing else; but let us give our garden crops due con sideration, and don't forget the berry. -Southern Cultivator. The Apple Aphis.

The campaign on the liquor ques tion at Suffork closed, and the election will be held. . v :" The annual convention of the "Unit ed Irish League of America opened in Philadeplhia. " Judge Alton B.

During the spring' and early summer one'Ioften; finds the leaves and tender twigs of apple cov ered with small green lice or aphides. These are the. Apple. Aphis. ..They In jure the trees by sucking . the sap through their tiny beaks. So far as we know It, the life history of these insects '! -s ::' follows: The lice hatch from eggs in spring as ' soon as the leaf buds begin to expand, and in crease with marvelous rapidity, ; so that almost as fast as the leaves de velop there are colonies of the plant lice to occupy them. They continue breeding on apple until July, xwhen they largely, leave the trees, and mi grate we know not where, but'prob ably to some annual plant that i sue culent in mid-summer. Herer appar ently, they continue breeding until autumn, when they return ta apple, and the winged females may he found establisning colonies of the wingless egg-laying forme upon the leaves., The males' are apparently developed on the same plant that the winged fe males are. The 'small, oval eggs are now laid on the twig3 and buds, amd tne cycla for the year is complete. . Remedies. These lice have"varfi ous natural enemies that destroy them especially the lady-bird bee tles -but it is often necessary to spray infested trees with kerosene emulsion, or a strong tobacco decoc tion : to get rid of them. The .latter may be made by soaking refuse to bacco stems in hot water, and thea draining the liquid' off. The Soutlfr-; em Fruit Grower. , About Nitrate of Soda. As you are probably aware, nitrate of soda supplies only one constituent of plant-food to the soli and that one is nitrogen or ammonia. If it is per sistently used on. the same land it will, by stimulating increased growth. cause, the supply of phosphorie acid and potash in the soil to be more heavily ' drawn upon, than, if only small or moderate yields were pro duced; hence it might be found such circumstances that the yields on a soil thus treated would materially de cline. It might be found, too, that under such treatment, unless the store of vegetable mattervof the, soil, were kept up, that the 'mechanical condition of the soil would probably become worse, especially if the soil were fine grained, and would be no ticed by the soil running together and tending to work hard after each rain. It is not believed, however, that nitrate . of soda used properly, and in reasonable quantitfes per acre would injure land. Neither do we think it would be at all necessary to materially increase the application per year, unless the yield be much in creased. To secure the best results from the use of nitrate of soda, it will usually be necessary to use with fertilizing materials containing phos phoric acid and potash and in some cases lime. The amount and propor tion of these constituents will de pend upon the crop to be grown and the soil in which it is to be, planted. The normal plant-food supply of a soil is being kept up when as much is added to it in the fertilizer or fer tilizing material as is removed by the growing crop and by leaching. C. B. Williams, 'North Carolina De partment of Agriculture, Raleigh. Mixed and Unmixed Fertilizers. it armers should now be planning for their small grain crop. Will it be better to buy mixed or unmixed fertilize: j : The syndicate controlling commercial fertilizers and the prices will not sell by the car-load to farm ers. All has to be bought through agents. If the farmers should com bine in an effort to secure goods at first hands, they could do it. The one who wants a few sacks has to buy at retail. Let. the farmer buy fourteen per cent, acid phosphate and muriate r ! potash of kainit, and do his own mixing. On a good floor, or a hard place In the lot, a hand with a shovel can mix a ton thoroughly in two hours. - , 2 000 'pounds of acid phosphate;' 200 pounds of muriate of potash. That will give 12.75 4.50. .That Is a high grade. If ammonia is desired, make it this way: ' - . 2000 pounds acid phosate; 200 pounds of muriate of potash; 1000 pounds cpttenseed meal. That would give a fertilizer an alyzing 9 32. That is first class for wheat or oats, and will not cost more than $20 a ton. The agents would charge about $24.

NO DAWDLING A Man of TO After Finding Coffee Hurt Him, Stopped Short. When a man has lived to be 70 years old with a 4 0-year-old habit grown to him like a knot on a tree, chances are he'll stick to the habit till he dies. But occasionally the spirit of youth and determination remains in some men to the last day of their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them, harm, they surprise the Oslerites by a degree of will power that is supposed to belong to men under 40, only. "I had been a user of coffee until three years ago a period of 40 years and am now 70," writes a N. Dak. man. "I was extremely nervous and debilitated, and saw plainly that I must make a change. "I am thankful to say I had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Postum without any dawdling, and experienced no ill effects. On the contrary, I commenced to gain,' losing my nervousness within two months, also , gaining strength and health otherwise. ' - " ' ' "For . a man of my age, I am very well and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not ' made their Postum right and don't like it.' But I tell them to boil it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now; and before I used it, that seems convincing.
