What I lift I'rnlllHhlff Cow Muni Io. It Is claimed Unit in the sale of milk under present conditions, bill little plollt is derived from n cow that does not produce nt least ."iiMid pounds of milk during the course of the year; and in butter making the cow, to turn 111 n decent profit, should give sutllclent milk to make L'iki pounds of hutter an nually, and the correctness of this lias been tested time and again. There is no better argument needed to tench farmers the necessity of testing their animals ami thus b arn their vulue. I'lHlit Nil nn tu Sum Fertility. Ill speaking at n New Jersey Insti tute a gentleman said Unit If a farmer cultivated corn many times during the season to liberate plant food, and let the laud lie bare through the fall and winter, the plant food made avail able by tillage would leach down and get nwny. I. nml left bare in Mimmer fast loses its humus, or decaycii veg etable matter; it is burned out. Now, In .1 nutshell, this Is the Idea: Krow a heavy clover sod regularly once In three or four years. Plow under the clover or feed il out on cement lloors, so as to save all manure, anil rciurn this to the land. Thin follow with plenty of proper tillage to liberate plant food that with ordinary iiumage inelit you would never get. lu this way you can increase tlie fertility of the soil greatly. Tim Vulue or Cluvrr Soil. Willi t Is clover sod worth? The an swer to this ueslloii depends almost wholly on the local Ion of the laud and lis nearness to n good market. If the hind be nearly barren so thai nothing can lie grown upon it, a clover sod once secured will be the begin ning toward making It a paying piece of property. In such circumstances a clover sod is worth much more than on land where il can be easily secured. H is worth more and is usually harder to gel on soils that ale ilelieient ill vegetable mailer, whether they be sand or clay. Hut of tlie two. :i clay soil is much more hopeful of perma nent Improve!! i, for all clay soils contain some mineral fertiliser ami may be made rich when a few clove:' crops are grown upon them without manure. On sandy soil the mineral fertility Is lacking, ami lias to be sup plied lu commercial fertilisers which are always expensive. Hence the i:cs Hon whether wasie laud can be prof itably brought uuder cultivation de pends lu part on lis composition. If it Is mainly clay soil it probably can. If It Is sandy soil without vegetation it will probably retpiire too expensive fertilization to be prolilalile In most localities. America u Cultivator. 'i Mnrw hci;.

The large storage concerns propose to have as little loss as possible, anil utilize a tlie eggs in the case, whether fresh, cracked, or dirly-cvcn rotten are util ized. This is how they do 11: All of tlie small, dirty ami cracked eggs that are fresh anil of good final ity are canned. They are put up lie: same as canned incuts. The yolks and whites of the eggs go Into separale cans, and (his product is a great con venience in hot climates. When a baker has use for the whiles of eggs he can buy Just what he needs put up In these cans, which saves him the loss resulting from buying eggs as they lire ordinarily sold. The ipuility of this canned product Is tine. Then the rotten and cloudy eggs are put up in cans ami sold to tanners and used in putting tlie gloss on tine leath er. The "rots" serve I he purpose of tlie tanners and can lie bought cheaper. Tlie shells are used lu making fertil izers, etc., so that the loss is Indeed small. When It Is remembered that the small things count up fast in mak ing losses or profits, the value of the economy here practiced becomes ap parent. Elgin Hairy Heport. Making rianU llaneriil to Iiiaect. A fact which may have Immense possibilities in scleutlllc agriculture has been advanced by Professor tiul loway, who finds that plants may be so cultivated as to change their chem ical const il ut lou, rendering them eith er agreeable or baneful to Insect pests, yet without Injury to the plants i-ni-selves. A tobacco grower lias demon strated that this Idea is perfectly prac tical. He analyzes his plants and finds which are nutritious ami which are not so to tho insects, anil he cultivates those that will starve out the Insects. Professor Galloway suggests the ex tension of similar methods to starve out those other pests iiow so destruc tive; t lit Hessian fly lu wheat, the pea plant Insect, which for lack of a bet ter name has been called the green pea louse, and which lias almost mined the crop in Maryland for two years.

It is best to avoid handling them until they become strong on their legs, then remove them with tin mother hen to the coop nml pen which should be nil ready for the occupants. Proper coops ami pens for the young turkeys until they are fully feathered are absolutely necessary to protect tiieni from rains and heavy dews.

There is nothing which by Its absence, Its presence, Its goodness, or Its bad ness, may so make or mar the com munity which uses it or would like to use it, as the road by which its people may come together for the dis cussion of matters of public good or for that trallie In product which stamps man ns the trailing animal. Therefore, the man who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before has bis counterpart as a public benefactor In the person who iuts flown a good, solid, horse-saving, wago.n-ecoiioinlzlng roadbed where nt llrst only rocks nnd mud or dust nnd sand hehl full sway, llouds, like peo ple, are prone to wear Into ruts, nnd many of the ruts In which the farm er's half-lad"n wagon Jolts nre pri marily caused by the ruts in which the farmer has jolted his representative In legislative assemblages. The farm er has always wanted good roads, but he knows that the farmer has always had to pay for them, consequently he has generally looked upon any movement in their direction as a raid upon his own pocket. If required, then, some new force to Join hands ami voice with him both in tlie de mand and lu the suggestion of ways ami means. This new force has arrived in (he bicycler. Handed under the banner of the League of American Wheelmen, the riders or the tireless tire have since I hell- organization, in lS.su, raised the cry of "good roads," ami have kept it up with woumlroiis energy. They have through their engineers devised or selected the best methods of milking the cheapest durable thoroughfares, but they have conquered many obsta cles that have stood between thciu ami other groups of persons who are to be bclielited equally with them lu securing smooth roads, though these very groups hesitated to Join the wheelmen's movement, for fear It was selfish and was designed to saddle the costs up on them. The horsemen who drive tine road stock and the farmers have been the two classes which have required the warmest efforts of the "good roads cranks." as some of the Wheelmen are called, to wipe nwny suspicion. !ut the suspicion has now evaporated. The I'a liners' National Congress has passeil strong resolutions In favor of H'e wl Ilium's way of getting good roads. The Stale aid system, as shown In the resolution, recites that the cost of construction of first-class roads con necting farms with market towns Is too considerable to be borne by farm properly alone; that ns the entire pop ulation Is bcnotlted directly ami In directly by good roads, all properly ought to contribute through the me dium of ii Stale tax. The Illgbee-Arui-strong law, by which State aid has been Introduced in New York, pro vides for a division of the cost of road construction among the State, the county, and the local township, and, It Is said, many of Hie towns avail ing themselves of It will secure from outside sources four or five times the sum they raise themselves, while In the large cities, which will pay most of the funds, the lax will not fall more heavily than one ceni per thousand dollars of the assessed valuation. It Is by making such calculations that the League of American Wheelmen has fought lis way to the farmers' sympathy. It Is no wonder that the farmer feared tlie cycled at first. The man on wheels was at first looktwl mmn as n tlude In knee breeches, out for an airing with bis best girl, who demand ed that others should, without cost to him, smooth the roads that he alone might have more pleasure. Then the Wheelmen's League spent vast sums of money nrllil lliir Illustrated mint books, thousands of which have been distributed, free of cost, ami other inousamis hardy nt cost. In various quarters they have raised large sums to build cycle paths between sections of country, on which the cyclers pass to ami fro on business am) pleasure. Money has I u spent by them, ns In Mr. Horner's case, to be represented nt conventions and to snread what they love to call the gospel of good roads, ami now in Baltimore Chief Consul .Sains, of .Maryland Hlvlslon.
