The Utah .Experiment station at Lo gan has isi. ued bulletin 57, which is an excellent account of experiments in feeding the by-products of the dairy. Skim-milk and whey, fed to hogs and calves, gaveexcellent results and proved very satisfactory. These experiments seem to prove that calves may be raised on skim-milk when it is properly fed. Whole milk is, of course, the best feed for calves, but it costs too much to feed it. On the whole, calves gave as good returns for the skim-milk as did hogs, ond it was demonstrated that : t pays well to feed a certain amount of grain with the skim-milk, when pork is sold at four cents a pound live weight.

Ilogs fed on milk alone gained very slowly, and did not keep in good health. Our readers will get an idea of the extent of hog-feeding at western cream eries, when «e say that the feeding pens are so arranged that one man handles from 400 to 600 hogs. At one creamery, one man was able to feed 1,000 hogs, clean all the pens eaoli day, and draw the grain feed two miles. Ilogs at tl.ese creameries are purchased when weighing from 50 to 100 pounds. They are crowded hard so that in 100 clays they gain from 100 to 125 pounds. The picture gives an idea of the in terior of one of these creamery pig geries. In the center aisle is a tank into which the skim-milk and whey run by gravity from the factory. (>'"ain is mixed in this tank with the milk and whey. Directly underneath it is a large trough running the whole length of the building. In feeding the hogs, plugs which are shown in the engraving are pulled r.p, leaving open ings through which the milk and gra'n run into the trough where the hogs may eat it. A stream of water runs close to and on both sides of this trough, and by means of a rubber mop the manure in the pens is scraped to this water, which thus carries it away. During the growing season, this wa ter is used to irrigate the land on which a c. - op of hog feed is grown.

Nothing Can He Expected of n Mfc adain Koadway That I* With out Solid Foundation. The requisites of macadam road con struction—perfect drainage, careful building, ample rolling and no clay for binding, have been frequently pointed out. One result of not securing them is told by a Greenville, N. J., man in the Jersey City Journal, in describing a street in his town. He says: "To prepare this road for the mac adam nothing further was done than to scrape the upper crust so as to make it level. Then crushed stone was scat tered until a layer of stone nine inches deep was laid. The laborers then spread a tliiu layer of earth over the stone and steam rollers were put tc work. When the mass became fairly compact the so-called macadam pavement was com pleted. "T predicil d at the time that after the first winter's frost the level of the road would not only be destroyed, but that the earth tilling would either be washed away or settle between the Crushed stone, thus exposing the top layer. .\Jy prediction was verified during the spring following. At the places wh-re the filling settled the roadway sank and formed deep holes, and great stretches of the roadway where the filling washed away were as rough as a nut meg grater. "Traffic added to the destruction, and in order to maintain the semblance of K pavement the street and water com -1 inissioners were compelled to spend $3,- ' QOO for repairs. A new layer of crushed stone and screenings restored the pave «.ent to a smooth condition, but last spring (lie road was in even worse con 1 dition than before.

In Europe, wagon roads were con structed long before the introduction of steam and conditions there have made it necessary to maintain and de velop them.

At present the condition of Cuba la attracting much attention. We al ready see the losses that have been en tailed there by the absence ot anything that can be called a road, and we will realize much more fully in a short time what decent highways mean to a coun try when they begin to be opened up in the long dormant ex-Spanish islands and their nianv resources are developed.

At this season of the year, when cat tle are allowed to ruu in the barnyards together, it is ofteu a question whether it is advisable to allow spring calves to run in the same yards with their dams, still giving milk.

HAD FUN WITH HIM. An Artistic l.n nil.siimn Gets Some Pointers from the Jolly Sen Hovers. The sailor man, when in deep water, can not conceal the feeling of superiority with which he regards the untarred landlubber. Some of the noneombatants who sailed the gulf and the Caribbean during the war learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and others gained painful experience before they got their sea legs. An artist who boarded a grimy tugboat clad in white linen found his coat covered with coal dust when he was a day from port end decided to wash it. lie filled a bucket with sea water and fell to work. When he had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes lie was satisfied. Then it occurred to him to starch the coat pockets. lie did so, and pulled out —his gold watch. TTt was perturbed. The crew laughed and he rebuked them. They bided their time. Then one of them told the artist that the proper way to restore the coat to its normal color was to tie a line to it, heave it over hoard and tow it for a few hours. The artist did so. When he went below a deck hand hauled the coat aboard, untied the line and hiding the coat made fast a ragged piece of white duck and threw it overboard. When the owner of the coat pulled in his line he was the angriest man on the tug. And he didn't know just how to accept a deck hand's glibly made explanation, which was that a shark had seized the coat, until the garment was restored to him.—N. Y. Ilerald.
