O ur observation convinces us that
one can take large liberties in balanc
ing the ration for brood sows if they
Hu* kept on the go an 1 m ade to hustle
• • irliig the day. says the Iowa lioiue-
i lead. We are not in favor of the
I»:.'n of filling up th e troughs in the
morning, allow ing the sow s to walk
i bout tw o rods from their nice, warm
beds, consum e their ration and Imme
diately go back to their sleeping quar
ter«. *3lli h a life of ease is not a 111011 -
py m aking proposition. It Is much bet
ter to scatter the feed around the yard
so th at when the sow turns «nit In the
m orning she has practically her fore
noon« work :»hend of her. Make if
L.erally a questiou of “root. hog. or
die" and you will contribute iu the
largest degree tb strong litters.
We are not advocating a starvation
policy by any m eans, because, as a
m atter of fact, it pays to keep the sow
gaining until she farrow s, but the iu
Civusc lu w eight should be put on
right, and this cannot lie done if sows
are allow ed to loaf around their sleep
ing q u arters all day. Not only should
their feed be scattered so th at tim e
will be spent in ton inning it. but the
sows should actually Lu» turned aw ay
from the yards every day vdien the
w eather is at all suitable. T hen turn
them out in a field where there Is no
straw and no conveniences so that
they can m ake them selves com forta
ble. and the result will la* th at they
will l oop them selves on the move con
tinually. So much the b etter if there
is a corncrib located a considerable
dlstan e from the barns, so th a t a few
ears could be fed there once or tw ice
dally.
T he practical effect of-thls will be to
keep the sows going backw ard and
forw ard, ami they will possibly m ake
the trip ns m any as six or seven tim es
a day. T hey are under con tau t suspi
cion th at there m ight be som e grain
available a t the other end of the line,
and their lioggl h natu re asserts itself
to th e extent th a t they are not going
to tak e It for grunted, but m ake, as
It were, a personal Investigation. This
accom plishes exactly w hat Is desired,
because it develops the sows in the
ri-h t direction, and under this kind of
treatm ent they usually farrow strong,
hearty litters.

The Old Turnpikes.
T he first great Am erican highw ay,
that betw een New York and Philadel
phia. was lung known as “the old York
road." Its construction In 1711 w as an
exam ple which led the colonists at
other points along the A tlam ic sea
board to construct sim ilar m ads where
there were no w ater m utes. They were
usually built by chartered com panies
and w ere called turnpike* or loll roads
Pennsylvania. Connecticut^ and New
Jersey had many m ads of t .e kind
The first m acadam m ad in America
was built in 17! 12 betw een Philadelphia
and L ancaster In 1811 there were
said to be 4.500 miles of chartered turn
pikes in New I n land and New York.
D uring the next tw eiP years the na
tioual governm ent spent rnanv m ’lllons
of dollars in constructing great lii#ti
ways, but the panic of 18117 and the
building of railroads and canals put an
end to that branch of governm ent
work

Much curiosity has been arous
ed lately by the actions of several
of Estacada’s well known citi
zens of both sexes. These people
have been seen wandering about
the pastures, meadows and va
cant lots in and adjoining the
city, with down cast eyes, ai d
actions closely resembling an es
caped inmate or a poet in com
munion with the Muses.
Occasionally the wanderer will
drop onto hands and knees and
begin an eager plucking of some
minute particle fiom among the
grass blades, weeds and other
hereditaments ot the average
pasture.
A closer examination will show
that the supposed escapeu innia e
is in reality an epic re gatherii g
the minute collar button appear
ing mushrooms, This exiling
sport requires intentness of pur
pose, coup ed with keen eyesight
and a fearless disposition and the
result ot an afternoon’s hunting
may, when the mushroom is pre
pared for the table, amount to
four tablespoons!ul of this dain
ty, which closely resembles in
taste, a fallen dough dumpling.
Tne reai enjoyment occurs af
ter eating, vyhen U»« epicure may
let his or her mind dwell upon
the chance of their have eaten a
toadstool by mistake.
