CALF REARING.
[ ing i practical Straffordshire farmer, writ¬
to the British Agricultural Gazette,
fcjsthat jhe after thirty years’ experience in
rearing of calves on a large scale he
las If found it the most profitable branch

■hat is to say, gone about it in a sensible

Conditions of success, and neglecting

Ind he has set a good example worthy
Bf imitation in freely giving the public

P eD put to the severe test of a long

p' Is been the least unfortunate result of this
particular, a prejudice against gravel roads
and a scarcely less pro
nera j-uced ^’ distrust Lack of of drainage permanent roads the real in
was
ase of the failure,

-- u be graded, crowning it twelve to
-• een feet wide, and twelve to eight
l fc llj ches 4 e higher Along in the middie than at
s. each edge should be
, a shallow
’ ditch. This is a correct
e * a i statement, which, of
“ u -d be modified course,
to suit peculiar cir
-tances. Thus, in a very hilly
. tue es Pitches P ec ially if the soil washes
" ’ should not be
E s " cut at
-• es, as they are not necessary, and
i )ec °me serious gullies. In a billy
^ fitted tr J it is not necessary to crown the
50 high, but the crowning must
always be sufficient to insure ready sur¬
face drainage.. Twelve to fourteen feet
in width is sufficient. Making the road,
wider has been found a needless expense.
With those soils and subsoils specially
well adapted to drainage, crowning the'
roadbed and cutting the ditches at 1 the
sides will secure the drainage; but where
the soil and subsoil are not favorable to
drainage, additional nssasures must be
taken. In the country in which I re¬
side, a gravel road has been made for
twenty miles, near the Mississippi River
bluffs. This road is on a soil and a
subsoil decidedly gravelly r giving splen¬
did drainage. This graver road is now
eighteen years old, and has proved satis¬
factory. The only means taken .to se¬
cure drainage was to crown the roadbed
a littledn low places. To make a gi'avel
•roaiff\?n this way over the greater part
.of thq.same country would be a waste of
money, for in most places the soil is a
prairie loam, and the subspil a
fAhatuous clay. <
It has been found quite satisfactory
in most localities, having a black surface
soil and clay subsoil, to lay a drain of
tile along each side, near the edge of
the roadbed. This has been found a
better location than near the middle of
the roadway. The office of the tile is
to carry off water brought up from be¬
low rather Than water sinking in from
above. ' In so the localities it is necessary
to use three drains—oqe ,fine of tile be¬
neath the center of the roadway, and
one under each ditch at the side., It
seems unnatutal to put the tile under the
side dftehes, but this location has been
proved best. " '
.
When the roidbed is to be graveled
or macadamized,, the crowning earth
foundation should be nicely smoothed
and then rolled until quite solid. It, is
well, also, in this case to put the clay
subsoil from the ditches on to the Sur¬
face. When rolled, it makes a hard,
smooth surface, almost impervious to
water, and over which will flow, off to
the ditches at the sides, the rainwater
that may sink through the gravel oi
macadam. When the surface is to be of
earth only, the clay subsoil should be
kept underneath, and the natural soil be.'
placed on top. The surface soil will
usually afford much better drainage than
the subsoils, and make a better road
surface. —American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A hen wants quiet while setting.
It is good economy to feed milk to
Stone drinking vessels are cooler than
tin ones.
Brain3 without industry won’t pay the
mortgage off the farm.
Wheat is rich in material for growth
and stimulates egg-laying.
Young chickens especially are in¬
clined to crowd on the l'oosts; prevent
this.
The best remedy for the ravages of the
asparagus beetle .is a hen with a brood oi
young chicks.
Breed in June if you wish to have the
colt foaled so that both it and the darn
can be ready for new grass in the
spring.
If a change is to be made in the
rations of a chicken it should be done
gradually, so that the system may have
time to adap: itself to the change.
It will be mo~e comfortable for the
fowls during the warm weather if the
heavy wooden door be taken off its
hinges and one of fine netting substi¬
tuted.
A few extra dollars ipvested now in
tho service of a first-class stallion will
come back to you with interest within a
few months, in the much greater value
of the colt.
Awhile ducks will remain all day on
the water, they should not be made to
sleep on damp floors, Plenty of straw
should be used and cold drafts should
be guarded against.
Much of the profit of the farm musl
come from saving little things, In this
the chickens are a good aid. They pick
up and turn to accouDt many items that
would otherwise be wasted.
Eggs that have not been fertilized
keep the be 3 t, and for this reason if the
eggs are to be stored away it is a good
plan to take away the roosters ten days
belore commencing to save up the eggs.
The new crop of wheat will come up¬
on a market more nearly bare than for a
long time before. Tnis would appear to
indTcate a better price for the crop, but
prophesying in such matters is uncertain
work.
While, if properly managed, the stor
ing away of eggs at this season for sell
ing in the winter can readily be made
profitable, there is always some risk. Tne
eggs do not bring as good prices as fresh
ones.
The business of poultry-raising should
never be spoken of slightly, Those who
have tried it know that business ability,
svstem and industry are essential to suc
cess. These are just the qualities de¬
manded for success in other lines.
