No fencing is used except for a few Hocks during tho breeding sea son.

The seven two by four rafters arc eleven feet long, and are nallril at 1 lie bottom directly 0:1 to the sills. Which are four by four and raised a foot or so above the ground, on stones. The roof is double, sloping cast and west, and is covered first with rough hemlock boards, over which arc laid two thicknesses of tarred paper, well battened down, and finally a liberal coat of coal tar over ali. The ends of the houses arc made in different ways, and some are boarded and shingled, others battened only. Ft ill others arc treated like tlie roof. In the south end on the right side is a door swinging outward, which is left open every day unless Hie weather is very stormy. A slat door lit fide is found useful to keep the liens from going out in ini’lemo’it weather. At the left of the door is the only window in tile house. It consists of two saslics of ordinary size, which arc ser w,*d fast in their places and never opened. For ventilation a hole six to eight indies square is cm high up in each gable. During summer both of these ire left open, while iu winter the hack one only is dosed. The soil being nat urally rather light, no special prepara tion for floors is required, furttier than to tiil up each house with sand to about the lop of the sills. Tiie roost plat forms are in the Intel; side about four feet from the ground, and arc four feet wide. The roosts, three or four in number, are about one loin above the platforms, which latter arc cl ne *1 weekly, and the roosts as often smeared with kerosene. Chose boxes for nests are placed on a platform at the side as one enters. From thirty to forty fowls occupy one of these houses. F. \V. Mossman, in American Agriculturist. Humus iu Soil*. The farmer can increase the amount j of humus and nitrogen by growing * U’gtnpiuotis plants in soils of good I average fertility. There are from fi.itm to 5000 pounds of nitrogen. 5500 to 11.000 pounds of potash and ”500 to 6000 pounds of phosphoric acid per acre in Hie sliri tee soil. These pro portions vary, of course, according to ! the character of the soils. When a I clover crop is grown and harvested the ! soil is left in bettor condition than : before, especially in nitrogen, while j considerable amounts of potash, phos phoric acid anil lime are. during the growth of the clover, absorbed and! built up into its tissue, which are ol>-: taincil by the roots of the clover at i depths not reached by the roots of | some other farm crops, hence the j clover crop, when plowed under? also j adds mineral substances to the soil. Experiments at the Canadian station show that the estimates for*a crop of clover, of one year’s growth, produced 20,070 pounds of green leaves and stems, 11.475 pounds of roots (depth of four feet!, and ”075 pounds of semi -1 decayed material on the surface of ; Ute ground per acre, which contained : about 101 pounds of nitrogen in the j stems and leaves. 48 pounds in the roots and 22 pounds in the decaying mater*!, making a total of 171 pounds of nitrogen added to the soil by a clover crop. If the clover is mowed and fed THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. to stock a portion is returned as man ure, blit in the roots that are turned under remains 48 pounds, as well as j 22 pounds in the decaying material. When the entire crop is plowed under the value of the nitrogen per acre, at fifteen cents per pound, is $25.65, ac cording to the above yield. Clover can 1 therefore be profitably grown as a j green manurlal crop outside of its \ value as liav. Dividing a Hound Silo. A reader from Canada asks for the i best method of dividing a round silo j which recently came into his posses- ; sion. Should the partition be put in crossways of the openings or extend j from the openings? If the partition ! O©(D n&> ri&2 a ® H f{fl fjg- $ METHODS OF DIVIDING A SILO. ——_ extends from the opening, shall it oi tend from Ihe centre of the opening or from ore edge? Figs. 3, 2 and 6 show the three plans. By putting the parti tion, as in Figs. 1 and 2, the silage from one-half must be thrown across the other, which means much extra work in emptying a silo. The partition should be placed as in Fig. 3 and good doors made to tit the op nlng in each side, is:* paper, or what is better, l’elt lo make the joints air-tight. The reader also asks if it would not * be till right to have the boards cut and put iti the partition as the silo is filled, j It would be impossible to make a parti- ' lion air-tight when put in in such a ; manner. Too much care cannot be ' taken in putting in such a partition, j The ends will have to have much work • where joined to the walls or air will get through wh’.’U one side is empty. The work should be done in a good and substantial manner, as there is great : pressure. Both sides should be filled simultaneously and well compacted at till times. It would break down th-' best-made partition if one side was put in at a time. After it is well settled if one side is taken out the pressure is not so great. W!:,*n taking out the first side, have a large number of braces ready the proper length, and as fast as the silage is used, put in the braces. Fig. 4 shows the braces in position from the , sides of the siio to the partition. These j braces should have some pieces at the ends running the opposite direction to tlie material against which the brace is to support. That is, if the silo is i stave and the partition horizontal to the brace, the end pieces should lie as in Fig. 5. If the timber of the outside of tiu> silo is horizontal, the brace should he as in Fig. 6. When one side of til* silo is empty, there is no danger of tlie wall giving way if these precau tions are taken. Next year, when till ing. tin* braces as well as the end pieces should be taken out and laid away for another year. By tills method tiie mail with a small herd can build a moderate sized siio nnd have sliage through tiro dry time ns well as winter at a very small outlay of money.— American Agriculturist. I.arc** I*rotit* in Sivlm*. While a good many farmers may be slow in raising hogs lo convert corn iuto profitable pork when this grain is as high as at present, it is neverthe less iru ■ that more money can be made iu the aggregate in feeding the corn to he. ; than in selling it iu the mar ket. Tli>rt* is no easier way of making money on the farm than to raise swltte in s 'iison anil out of season, sticking to the business year after year, and profit: g by the improvements which come through continuous efforts direct ed towards one purpose. In fact, large fortunes have been made in swine breeding and feeding on a large scale, where the clover and corn were raised for i.o other purpose Ilian to feed the animals at home. With the full crop raised to feed the hogs one will be sure to fmtl a fair market for it each year. There, of eours*. is an occa sional over production of hogs when prices prop, but the business must be consult red in the aggregate of years, and not by a single year. There is no other live stock which can be mad*.' to turn out the same amount of live weight within a given time as young pigs which are fed liberally from the day of their birth until ready for market. It is possible to raise them so that the farming of the fields will improve year by year iiu -1 iler tiie process. Every ton of corn j taken from the farm and sold in the | market takes about six dollars' worth |of fertility from the fichus. Now the ; question is how to save this fertility ! 'ey v-’inruiitg part or all of it to the : soil. By a system of clover ami corn 1 raising for feeding swine we can. in | fact, return at least three-fourths of j this utility to the hunt. In this way ; we do not rob the soil to make money | to-day. which to-morrow we must ! spend to purchase more fertility. The j farmer who raises his clover and corn i for tho swine is in a fair way to im : *#we his land indefinitely, and at the j same time to make a good profit. Hog I raising is thus more profitable than | grain growing, or almost any other j distinct line of agricultural work.—S. I T. Launeman. in American Cultivator.

An Enterprise representative lest evening enjoyed a drive over East Eighth street, lowa avenue, Indianapo lis avenue and Blaine street, all of which have been late!} treated to a liberal application of oil. East Eighth slreet had a hard compact surface when the oil was first put on. The dust nt the sides was first scraped towards the centre and then one application of oil spread over it. A thin layer of coarse sand or tine gravel was tuen scattered over the oiled surface, and the road was immediately available for driving. This excellent combina tion lias produced a spongy, smooth road, easy on it horse's feet, without a particle of dust, and of first-class wear ing qualities. All of the stre.’is above mentioned have been treated in Hie same way e.x cept one strip which was so sandy as to need no surface coating of sand. To make the road permanent another ap plication of oil will lie necessary before the '.’.•inter rains commence in order that the water may be shed toward the sides and not permeate to tho ground underneath. Foltou avenue, one of the most traveled s reeks in til" c '.y or county, lias been treated to a liberal supply of oil, and is now one of tlie best roads in this part of the country. One of the results of oiling tlie roads will lie to make one side of the street oiled as suitable for dwelling houses as the other. There is absolutely no dtiift to arise from an oiled street and houses and trees are greatly benefited thereby Some orelinrdists are contem plating having the roads around tlieir orchards oiird to keep the dust from the trees, one orange grower having already given instructions to have the work done as soon as some streets in Higbgrove, where the oiler is now working, arc completed. Every one who carts for good roads unit s in saying. "Let the good work go on." and may tin* next year see many more roads in Riverside county oiled than it lias been possible to take care of during the present season. Special Koatls For Automobiles, One outgrowth of the use of automo biles on the public roads of England, wiih the obvious disadvantages of their speeding, is the proposal to build n special highway for motor cars. The proposition is for a road with broad, smooth wooden pavements To extend 111” full b'lig!lt of ihe Island by such a route as motor tourists would prefer. It is also proposed to have side paths for rl ils r. This would bo an expan sive undertaking, and only partially successful in freeing tli n ordinary roads from the dreaded machines. But it is cl ar that something will have to lip done for the protection of the public. Automobiles traveling the common mails also used by horse carriages, at the terrible rate of from forty to sixty miles an hour, nr,* nearly us intolerable as would be the locomotives front the steam roads doing she same thing. The common use of highways by vehicles having such different rates of speed will, in time, it* condemned. The* risks are too great. Either a way will be discovered for restricting the speed of the machines. or special roads for them will need to be provided. The trolley cars are a sufficiently perilous acquisi tion to the highways, but they keep on their iron trucks, and drivers of slow in’ carriages can keep out of their way. But tile automobile driver claims the whole road. -Boston Herald. What They Cost. How much bad roads cost and. how much good roads increase valuations and enrich ilie people is shown in tliest few statements that are given out by authoritative persons. New Jersey, perhaps, is tlie best example of good road work. In ten years it has expend ed $2,500,000 on its roads. The in creased valuation of its property in that period of time is $27,500,000. with out increasing the tax rate. The aver age cost of transportation from til** farms to the nearest market or railroad over had roads is not less than twenty five cents p .* mile, nr, good romls about' one-third of this, or eight cents per mile. It is estimated that one-half of the farm products of Pennsylvania, amounting to ,2.250,000 tons annually, are hauled five miles. Assuming that a two-horse team makes two trips a day. the cost of hauling on clay reads Vi’ouldjhe. at $1.25 a load. ?5.7ii::.7r.*i whereas, if the same tonnage was car ried over macadam tlie cost would he $1,077,500 loss, or $3,720,250. This dif ference is enough to build a gnu,! mac adam road across the entire Keystone Vlate. Suffolk County.

Once upon a time there was a roach ived in a hole in the wall next door to 1 wise old ant. Now it happened Fuat :I? ant did not like the roach and would gladly have murdered him but ’or the roach's size and great strength, which made the ant no match for him n a contest of strength. The ant placed poison at the roach's ioor. but the roach was wary and ate t not. On*? evening, when the lady of lie house came into the room to look lor roaches, the ant called upon the roach to come out of his hole, hoping the lady would kill him, but the roach h ard her footsteps and kept close. Next the ant tried to compass the de <truction of the roach by daring him to climb up the side of the wall, hoping * ihat the roach would fall from a great height and bleak his neck. The roach, however refused to climb. New it happened that the roach was a grear sprinter and was very proud of his ability to get orer'the ground in a hurry. Tile ant chanced to think of this, and, going to the roach, chal lenged him to a footrace. The roach accepted the challenge at once nnd stated thai he could run faster with his front feet tied than any bandy legged ant in the whole house. The ant selected the spot where the foot - e was to be run. which was across ■ yellow sheet of paper on the window -ill. Hither both the ant and the roach went and halted at the edge of the sheet of paper. "Are you ready?” cried the roach. "I am!” shouted the am. “Goi” yelled tile roach, and with that started across the sheet of paper at a and. ndful pace, only to fall down and stick fast in a nauseous mire ere he had gone two inches. The ant did not start at all. for well he knew that the race course was across a .-.k.-et of fly paper. Moral—There is a weak spot in every man’s armor if you can but find it.— jhio State Journal. A Remarkable Mousey. From Baroila, India, comes a Won derful story of a monkey's sagacity, says the London Express. A wild lan gur monkey in the cantonment had been mauled by a dog." After it had got free this intelligent simian made its way to tile hospital grounds, a quarter >f a mile distant. Here it rested iu a tree until evening. At 7 p. 111., seeing tin* coast clear, t came quietly down and want straight iuto the hospital, where, without any further hesitation, it took possession j£ a vacant bed. The hospital assistant tried to turn it out, but ii was of 110 use, and lie met the case by having the bed with the monkey on it removed out to the vor liida. The following morning the med ical officer, on his visit to the hospital found that Die poor animal had been very badly bitten. Ke ordered some laudanum to be placed in iis drinking water in order to relieve its suffering, i’he animal drank it readily. i .1 the evening the doctor took a lady mil gentleman to see the monkey, and they were simply astonished at the manlier in which it was making ges iures with Its hands as if beckoning :o the medical officer. Tho monkey seemed to realize it was being cared for. as whenever food or water was given to it. it quotly lifted itp one of its hands and placed it gently on the giver's, with a look as much os to say: "Well, ii is so good of you.” The bearing of the animal in all its actions was that of a very old sick man. Fnfortunately it died. Can a Monkey Throw Stones? An explanationol' the origin 0- .-tones which attribute to monkeys the power of throwing stones may be found 1:1 tho account of their habits given by trained and coinpciru: observers, says the London Chronicle. Fir James Brooke says with reference to Die orangs that he never observed the slightest attempt at defense, and that the wood which sometimes rattled about his cars was broken by their weight, "and not thrown, as some persons represent.” Mr. Wallace, also talking of the orang, declares that he has seen him throw down branches when pursued, "it is true he does not throw them at a person, but casts them down vertically, for it is evident that a bough cannot be thrown to any distance from the top of a lofty tree. In one ease a female mias, 011 a durian free. kcp. up for at least ten minutes i continuous sliowcr o Z hrauclios nnd of iiie heavy spined fruits, as large as .thirty-two-pounders, which most effec tively kept us cl: ar of the tree she was 011.
