Ho Food For All Pnrpoie.
There Is no perfect food for all pur
poses. Everything depends upon what
Is to be .accomplished. If the - object
Is to fatten an o1mtl the food should
contain a larger proportion of corn
than If the desire Is to promote growth.
Of tbe 'various foods, grass Is equal,
to any, as It Is rich In mineral matter
and Is also an assistant In fattening
because It promotes digestion and Is
eaten slowly. For milk production
grass may be assisted by the concen
trated foods and also by bay, but only
a variety of feod Is perfect for any
purpose. ... -"
Have Reg-nlar Feeding Honra.
The Oregon station made a test of
tbe Importance of regular hours for
feeding and milking cows. They took
six cows and divided them into two
lots as near alike as to ago and length
of time In milk as they could. One
lot was fed and milked regularly at 5.30
a. m. and 2.30 p. m., while the other
lot was fed and milked at hours rang
ing from 5 to 7 a. m. and from 4 to 0
p. m. This was kept up lor three
weeks, the amount of feed being the
same for each lot. As a result those
fed and milked regularly Increased
their milk production 6.0 per cent,
while the other lot shrank 4.4 per cent.
This difference of about' ten per cent,
in three weeks emphasizes what we
have said so often: Feed aud milk
regularly.

can be nsed In nearly every cow sta

Root Grafting- Apple Trees.
The apple Is propsgnted by root
grafting by large growers of nursery
stock, but not so much by those who
grow only small quantities of trees.
The value of trees grown from root
grafts, as compared with budded trees,
is much discussed, and root-grafted
trees are much praised by some and
condemned by others, and probably
both sides ore right under certain con
dltloiis. A .good strong root In a per
fectly healthy condition, skillfully
grafted early In the winter, carefully
packed, kept ln a cool, moist place and
carefully planted 1n the spring will no
doubt make as good a tree as can be
produced by the same stock planted
In the nursery in the spring and
budded ln tha fall. As a correspondent
asks how to make root grafts, I will
briefly outline the work as it is done
In many nurseries.
The work of root grafting requires
a strong, healthy stock or seedling, a
sharp, tbln-bladed knife, always kept
sharp, and skill to raako a clean cut
witb no twists or turns to it, but flat
and smooth. To one not skilled in the
use of the knife, considerable practice
Is needed lu cutting upon shoots of
the apple or pear, or other bard woods,
before making the grafts. The root or
seedling, Fig. 1, Is held ln the left
hand, and an upward cut made at the
point, a, where the root and top come
together, called the collar. A tongue
is then cut about midway of this, a.
Fig. 2, which Is to fit Into a similar
cut on tbe scion.
Tbo scion, Fig. S, a piece of last
year's growth, about six Inches long,
of tbe variety desired, is then taken,
and the same kind of a cut made on its
lower end. The two cut surfaces are
then placed together and the tongues
pressed firmly against each other, tak
ing care that the inner bark, called
tbe cambium layer, comes ln contact
with as many points as possible. If
the scion is the same size of the stock
this may take place on both edges,
but if It Is smaller than the stock, con
tact can only be made on one side.
After pressing as firmly as possible,
the union Is made more complete by
tying tbe parts together with raffia
fiber, soft twine or waxed thread, as
at Fig. 4. The success of this work
depends upon how carefully the cut
has been mode, how much of the
cambium layers come in contact, and
how firmly the parts are bound to
gether. After tho grafts have been mndo
they ore to bo packed In moist sand
or light soil and kept In one position
until taken out for planting in spring.
A very good way of packing Is to take
a soap box or other box of the right
size and place It on ono cud, Fig. 5.
Tlie.i put in a layer of grafts and cover
with soil, pressing it firmly about the
grafts, putting In layers of sand and
gravel, Fig. S, b, until all are ln or the
box Is filled. The box should be kept
In a cool, moist place, as nearly freez
ing as possible, yet not actually frozen,
until spring.
As early as the land will work up
fine and mollow, the grafts should be
planted in tbe nursery rows about five
Inches opart, and In rows four to five
feet from each other. As tbe grafts
are taken from the box they, should
be put into a pall of water, that they
may not be exposed to drying, and
planted with a spade or dlbbler, taking
care not to start the union of the
scion and root. During the first year
in the nursery little care Is needed, but
to keep the land well cultivated, and
allowing only ono shoot to grow. Pro

Oyiter Shell Roads.
Driving, cycling and automoblllng
tourists who return from their out
ings on .the South Jersey, pikes this
summer are unusually enthusiastic lo
:helr praises of these sbcll roads, writes
the Fbiladelphla Press.
The process of constructing these
roads Is of special Interest because of
Its simplicity. There is no expense of
digging out the roadbed and filling It
first with largo stones and then with
a smoother top dressing as In tbe con
struction of a macadamized road. Tho
shells ore simply unloaded from the
boats (which bring them ln great quan
tities from nearby oyster fields to
Buena Vista wharf), and .are then
carted out along tbe roads until a hol
low is found, or any spot that needs
repairing, and are then unceremon
iously dumped and left without any
process of pounding or smoothing, until
broken up aud leveled off by tho pass
ing carriages and farm wagons.
In constructing a shell road from the
beginning, load after load of the oyster
shells are dumped In an Irregular bonk
nil along the centre of the roadway;
then with a road scraper a bank of
earth Is thrown up along the edge to
keep tbe shells from scattering. This
leaves a narrow, smooth space over
which the scraper has passed along
the edge of the bank of shells; and as
this Is used for driving as long as the
weather is dry, it would seem that tho
bank of sharp shells would never be
driven Into smooth, white firmness. But
wait until there Is a heavy storm, and
the smooth rood at the side becomes a
moss of heavy mud and sand, then
tho rough shell bank is gladly mounted,
and although it is decidedly rough at
first, the heavy country driving' and
carting of farming produce soon
crushes the shells and forces them into
the rain soaked soil beneath. A second
or third banking of tbe shells, scatter
ing them further over the sides of the
roadbed each time, with this process
repeated, forms a roadbed that is hard
aud firm to the depth of a foot or more,
and beautifully smooth and white.
When these shell roads extend along
great stretches of pines, with even
rows of cedar and fir trees lining the
roadway (as they do tbroughout many
parts of New Jersey), one Is reminded
of the palm lined drives so alluringly
pictured in views of "our new posses
sions." Solving tho l'roblem. 1
Cost Is now the principal obstacle to
the building of good roads in New
York State, according to State Engi
neer Bond. The farmers, who have
the most to gain from Improved high
ways, but who have been slow to ap
preciate this fact, are now represented
to be generally In favor of the move
ment. Applications under the Arm-strong-HIgbie
law for road Improve
ment are piling up in tho State Engl
neer's office. With a reduction ln the
cost of road building, the State appro
priation could cover more ground, and
to this problem of a reduced cost Mr.
Bond has been devoting his attention.
He thinks he has found tbe solution
in the proposed establishment of a
State rock-crushing plant, near Rock
land Lake, across the Hudson from
Sing Sing, where the convicts could
be employed, In converting tho trap
rock, abundant there, Into road metal.
He regards the location as excellent
for the purpose, and would expect tbe
returning canal boats to cany loads of
broken stone up Into the State at cheap
rates, rather than to go back light. An
other suggested merit In the Idea Is
that it would solve the convict-labor
problem, so far as Sing Slug Is con
cerned. New York Post.

ANOTHER CRANIO REPORT FROM HIS
MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD. AT
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND.
Where) Upward! el 10,000 Mea Arc Cos

Sometime ago the Portsmouth Timet
and Naval Gatette pnbliehrd most thrill
ing and remarkable experience of the wife
of Mr. Frederick Payne, himself connected
with tha Portsmouth Dockyard for men;
years. The report produced a great hum
tion, not only in Portsmouth, but through
out the country, being considered of suffi
cient importance for reproduction sod ed
itorial comment by the leading Metropoli
tan and Provincial Press of England, as
showing the marvelous powers which St.
Jacobs Oil possesses as a. curs for Rheuma
tism, its application having effected a per
fect cure in the case of Mrs. Payne, after
having been a helpless eripplo and given
up by several physicians.
We have now further evidence of its in
trinsic value as Pain Conqueror. Our
readers will do well to follow the intelli
gent and highly interesting details as given
in Mrs. Rabbets' own words:
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil:
Gentlemen My husband, who is a ship
'wright in His Majesty's Dockyard, met
with an accident to his ankle and leg,
spraining both so badly that his leg turned
black from his knee to his toes. The Dr.
said it would be months before he could
put bis foot to the ground, and it was
doubtful whether he would ever get propet
use of his leg again.
A few days ..after the accident I had
ft book left at tho door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, so I procured a bottle from out
chemist, Mr. Arthur Creswell, 370 Com
mercial Road. I began to use St
Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my
surprise, when, in about another week
from that date, my husband could not
only stand, but could even walk about
and In three weeks from the time I first
used the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about hit
wonderful recovery. This is not all. See
ing what St, Jacobs Oil could do gave mc
faith in your Vogcler's Curative Compound.

She has taken two bottles of Vogeler'i
Curative Compound, and one would now

skin, .has got such a nice healthy colour

The above honest, straightforward state
ment of Mrs. Rabbets' evidence is strong
er and far more convincing than pages of
paid advertisements, which, though in
themselves attractive, yet lack that con
vincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets' descrip
tion of her own experieucc supplier. St
Jacobs Oil has a larger sale throughout
the world than that of all other remedies
for outward application combined, and
this can only be accounted for from the
fact of its superiority over all others.

agony, and often death.
"I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundred,
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using LydiaE. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com
pound. I did so as a last resort ; used it faithfully with the Sana
tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
would occur." Mrs. L. A. Harris, 278 East 81st St., Chicago, 111.

lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
" all-gone " and " want-to-be-left-alone " feelings, blues, and hopelessness,

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.
