[ 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 his business. It hardly needs to be tided that he has made a business of it, ■hat is to say, gone about it in a sensible ■rid business-like manner, studying the Conditions of success, and neglecting ■othing likely to conduce to it. Some ■f his experience may be useful to others, Ind he has set a good example worthy Bf imitation in freely giving the public ■he benefit of it. Calves, this gentleman lays, k should never be allowed to lie out open pastures during the first year of Bieir Ito existence, but should be brought yards or sheds every night and Blowed as much good old hay as they pill bucket eat. the They first thing should also the be morning given be¬ the in fore they go out. For this latter pur¬ pose he mixes them a gruel made of best scotch oatmeal, at the - rate of about a lenny-worth pjer day, mixed with half a Billon of wathr, and given in Y-shaped roughs jsn in the open yard, not more than or twelve calves being allowed to feed jigether. themselves This with prevents them ditch from water fill-' P? stagnant fd |Mch a lot they of unsuitable green food, by get distended and liable to pious liter, and ailments, other such things. as quarter The ill, liquid red fixture is continued up to the middle p lorn November, when they are brought in the pastures and put on cake, a due liowance of which during the first win pis pdwell indispensable doing to the future growth I of every calf, whatever nay be intended for. These few hints |ay Iccessful, seem simple, practical but coming they from thor- a man are fohly padian. worthy of attention.—Rural ROAD DRAINAGE. |The one thing necessary to a good N—earth, thorough gravel, macadam or paved Hs drainage of the founda declares John M.

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. r*' POLITICAL CALENDAR FOR 1892. Election Day, Tuesday, NoTember 8th. New States and What They Bring 1 .
