ESSENTIALS OF

an Up to Data Thoroughfare.
According to Austin tl. Fletcher,
tnte highway engineer of Callforntn.
the essentials of a modern rural high
way are as follows:
A readjustment of the road locations
or rights of way bo as to secure iwoper
alignment and to obviate the necessity
for traveling around o uiaujr sccllou
comers.
The elimination of all crossings of
highways at tirade with ft earn and
electric rail run da.

preferahly not less than sixty feet.
Maximum gradients In the mountain

mum radii on the center lines of such
roads of tifty feet, with all curves open
ed out us. much as possible by flutteu
1 tin slocs and removing brush and
such trees as Interfere with the view
A clear sight of at least l.V feet should
be secured wherever It Is practicable.
The construction of eruianent cul
verts, gutters aud ditches wherever
they are needed to prevent water from
standing on the roadsides uud on
grades to prevent gullying due to the
water being carried too far In the gut

The construction of bridges of n per
nianent character, preferably of te
Arifitr.'nil rtiniTiln. such bridges to be
at least twenty-four feel wide iu the j

carry sixteen tou traction engines with
a reasonable factor of safety.
A minimum width of roadway of six
teen feet, which may be traveled safe
ly, such width to apply only to those
places In the mountains where there
Is so much rock as to make a greater
width prohibitive on account of Its cost

No ewe should be bred nntll
she has reached maturity.
You cannot Iwgln to feed and
train a colt too early.
Many farmers make a practice
of turning land's Into the corn
field lu the early fall to gather
up all the weeds.
Skimp your sheep on Rood pas
ture and they will skimp you on
mutton. Works both ways.
It la conducive to health to
feed hogs when they can hate
the range of the pasture field.
In breaking a colt remember
that It la a u easy matter to over
load and ruin blm by canning
him to balk.
It costs a good deal of money
to buy a satisfactory team. In
most cases this can be avoided
by the farmer raising his own.

CORN THE BEST SILAGE.
Produce Larger Amount of Feed Par
Acre Than Any Other Plant.
The chemical processes tbat occur In
the silo during fermentation make the
material more digestible. This process
la supposed to be almost Identical with
the change that takes plnce In the first
stomach of the cow. says the American
Agriculturist. The effect Is to break
down the fibrous substance and rendet
It more soluble. The effect of feeding
sllnge to milk cows Is the sanio as that
of turning them Into a green pasture.
The silo provides n cheap feed that can
be used with good results at any time
of the year. It prevents the sacrifice
of young stock because of a shortage
of feed It utilizes the cornstalks,
takes drudgery out of winter feeding,
and one has only to inuke a little In
vestlgatlon to tlnd the silo owners well
satisfied with the plan.
Corn Is the great silage plant of
America. It l adapted to a wldo range
of latitude and longitude and will pro
duce the largest amount of nutritive
ullage per acre of any crop we can
grow KiTt ceil to twenty tons of green
fodder can he grown on one acre with
out dilllcnlty In nearly any part of the
corn belt
Many experiment have shown that
corn for silage contains tho most nu
trinient when the kernels begin to
glaze or when denting Is established
and before the lower leaves of tin
plant begin to dry If cut before till
period too large a percentage of watei
Is harvested with the crop, while the
greatest development of food substance
has not been reached by the plant
If silage Is to ls fsl with greatest
satisfaction It must le sweet and In
perfect condition. It Is spoiled by
coming In contact with air There
fore the silo should not t of too
great diameter. Not more than eight
square fi-ot should be allowed for eiu h
cow to be fed In winter. When feed
lug forty pounds of silage per cow a
layer almut one and a half Inches deep
will be foil off dally When feeding
In summer It Is advisable that the ex
posed area be not over half this size,
so that n layer three Inches deep may
be used daily. No silo should lie
larger than twenty to twenty two feet
In diameter, because distance from
the door Increases labor of removal.
To be well proportioned the height of
a silo should not he more than twice
the diameter. No silo should ho less
than thirty feet deep, and to get suitl
clent deptfl for a silo not over twelve
feet In ilia meter It may be placed four
or (he fret In the ground.
Silage will usually be needed alKiilt
oHi days, or from about ' t. "jn to
May 10 If we have a herd of thirty
cows to which we wish to feed silage
for 'Jin days It will not. in a rule, be
well to feed over forty mhiimIs of si
lage dally per head. If this quantity
be feil loo tons of silage will ls re
quired, for w hich 110 tons of corn fod
der must be placed In the silo. Tak
ing forty pounds as the average
weight of a cubic foot of corn silage,
each ton of silage will therefore take
up lifly cubic feet and loo tons 5.000
cubic feet.
Shelter For Hcgs.
When hogs are tiy ued out to pasture
lu the spring or fall they need some
kind of protection from the weather
und a shed, such as Is shown In the
accompanying Illustration, Is very con
venient, therefore, to have, suys the
American Cultivator It can be made
any size desired, but If only about six
feet wide, five feet long and four fet
high It can be more easily handled
than If larger. It Is composed of one
Inch roofing boards spiked to 2 by t
studding at the comb and eaves, with
a HANDY HOG HOUbC

front out left with an opening as la

A shed like this Is verv nice to have
