can be milked, and the milk brought
home instead of the cows! The shed
may have a box stall built in it for a
cow that has a calf while at pasture,
and also a couple of stanchions where
nervous cows oan be confined while
milking. The roof and two aides af
ford protection from rains, either by
night or by day when at pasture. One
can ride to and from a distant pasture,
carrying the milk in big milkmen's
cans, to keep It from slopping. The
plan will save Work for the farmer and
will increase the profit from the cows.

FEEDING THE CALVES.
Whr It Is Better to Teach Them to
Drink Cold Milk.
Patience is one of the virtues in teach
ing little calves to drink, but this is not
all. Calves should be allowed to run
with their mothers for two or three
days. This teaches them to eatandgivet
them an appetite that will help the
feeder along in his work. About 19
hours after taking them away from
their mothers ofTer them a little milk.
If they are not inclined to drink very
much let them go 12 hours longer. By
this time they will have an appetite.
Never get the calf's neck between your
limbs and force its head Into the pail
telling It to "drink or drown," but stand
In front of the calf with pail in hand,
and when it lowers its head raise the
pail up so as to dip Its nose In the milk.
This will give the calf a taste of the
milk, and in a very short time the milk
will disappear and with it the calf's
appetite. -
Always teach the calves to drink new
milk. This can be gradually diluted
with skimmed milk, and before the
calves are a week old clear skimmed
milk may take the place of the new.
The same principle holds true In chang
ing from warm milk to cold, liegin
by warming about seven-eighths of the
allotted quantity and continue warm
ing one-eighth less each day until only
an eighth is wanned. The change Is so
gradual that the calves do not notice
the difference. When the milk is too
hot one day and too cold the next, and
seldom just right, which Is 00 degrees
under such circuiiiHtanccs, calves will
do much better if taught to drink cold
milk at once. Agricultural Epitomist.
Resrularlty la Milking;.
Regularity in time of milking is nec
essary. The dairy cow is a good time
keeper, and knows very well when milk
ing time cornea. If she is neglected and
Allowed to go far beyond the regular
time, she begins to worry and loss fol
lows. There are some cows that cer
tain milkers can never get clean. They
milk out all that flows readily, strip
around once or twice, and call her fin
ished. With some cows this will do,
but with others the milker must reach
well up on the udder, and work it with
a sort of kneading process. A little
manipulation of this sort will cause
the whole quantity to flow In to the
teats, whereas without it there will be
from a gill to a pint of the richest milk
left In the udder every time, which
means a prematurely dry cow.
Dalrr Cows Require Salt.
Borne cowa have a depraved appetite
which leads them to eat greedily the
soiled straw that has been thrown out
from the horse stable, and to prefer it
to good hay, and also to prefer to drink
from a stagnant puddle in the barn
yard, instead of from the trough of
water. Our first inquiry In such a ease
would be to aak if the cows receive salt
regularly and freely. If they do not,
it may arise simply from a desire for
salt, but if they do have salt, and still
keep up the habit, physio them two or
three times at intervals of about three
days, and In the meantime see that they
have no opportunity to indulge In their
filthy habit, and give plenty of good
food . American Cultivator.

as Nr. Edwards suggests, only we

paratlvely speaking, has been ivcoin
pllshed. We believe this Is largely due
to lack of concerted movement. We are
convinced that If the states through
which an air line road from, say, Huff a
lo, N. to the Pacific roast were to
unite in the construction of such a high
way, and would employ no other than
convict labor, each state's prisoners to
work upon the roadwav of that state.
tbe result would be sudh an era of good
road making as would soon lift the ag
ricultural sections of the United States
out of the mire, transform travel and
life in the country as much aa the paved
streets In the cities have added to the
comfort and pleasure of those who
dwell in them, and remove the heaviest
tax now resting upon agricultural pro
duction. This may be said to be a sentl
mental way of going about It. But we
do many things from sentiment, and
more interest can be aroused in some
such Interstate roadway than by all the
states la tne union working single
handed and without purpose.
Boob a road would bring to Its sup
port tbe wheelmen of tbe nation, and
they have shown s commendable spirit
of helpfulness and s willingness to bear
their share of the burdens attending
good roads. It would lead to tbe con
struction of tbe states through which
this interstate highway pnssed of

sections Into connection with the main

The negroes of the south had the
best of training ia varied fields of labor
under skilled and tatelUgeat man
agers. In those' regions where a di
versity of crops was planted they be
came expert farmers. It Is a gross
error into which many of our north
ern friend have fallen lu thinking
that the negroes are poor laborers.
They may be wanting) in skill, but It
is to be doubted whether any other la
boring population on earth ever pro
duced results from agrteultureso large,
so constant, ao magnificent and ao re
munerative. And this is true of the
negroes In the south to-day. When we
reflect that upon their labor in tbe cot
ton fields millions of operatives in tbe
old world are absolutely dependent for
employment and-eusteoaace, their value
as laborers becomes at once apparent
and decisive. Destroy the negro labor
of the south and the cotton supply
would be reduced ao low that tbe 00,
000.000 spindles of New England and
Europe would rust in their sockets and
the clank of a million looms would
cease. There would be a dearth In the
goods that practically clothe the world,
and a blow would be given to the busi
ness world that would shake, it from

death was stnring him lit the face, he
could not repress his dJsposition to be
funny. He iK-came ill at his home lu
Greenville with what was supposed to
be heart disease, and a physician wns
hastily summoned. When he arrived
John was ganplng for breath, and his
friends expected him to die at any
minute. When the iVoctor asked him
what wns the matter, he coolly replied:
"Doc, I have an Intimation that my
case Is about to be culled, njwl. if pos
sible, I want to get n continuance." The
doctor went to work with him. and,
contrary to everybody's expectation,
did get John a continuance, and he is
