IMPORTANT QDESTKW." tVhaa Da Swla Hah tha Cat past Ctaiaa, la aha rtaat tummum mw m Malar Asrof lb la now pretty generally wader tood that sheep and cattle make gains the most' cheaply near tha birth period, and alsd tha moat rap idly. This Is owing to the greater activity of the secretions when an imals are young. But thla explana tion docs not ao well apply to the case f swine. After several years of experimenting at the Minnesota ex periment station, it has bean ascer tained that pigs do not gain nearly so raplilly when they are young aa when of more mature age. When they were nn the aow it waa found difficult to make them gain a pound a dny. After weaning for two or j three months they seldom made more than one-half pound per day, but aft er say five or six months for the next two or three months they gained well on to two pounds per dny. Thus it has been shown In several instances, that between the ages of five and eight months pigs have made the most rapid increase in weight. The exper iments referred to were not made with a view to test thivquestlon, but these results came out incidentally In a large number of tests. As a re sult of the casual manner in which these conclusions were reached, the relative cost of the gains cannot be given, but it is probable those made near the birth period were the least costly, owing to the small amount relatively of the food consumed. Tills is a great question. It ought to be further investigated. The ex perience referred to calls up the thought that it may be possible to market pork too young to bring the grower the greatest profit, even when swine are sold as young as six or seven months, the popular age at which to sell. These results in swine growing, so different from those ob tained In growing cattle and sheep, are well worthy of the closest study. Northwestern Farmer.

When to slaughter a pig must de pend on what we have to feed him, and the price at which feed is selling in the market. The price of pork also cuts some figure, but not so much as the price of feed. For instance, this vear in some localities pig feed is soliigh in price that every pound of additional weight put on costs ten cents, which is far above the highest market price possible. Where the hog raiser lives nenr a creamery and can get skim milk at a low figure, or near a cheese factory and can get whey for prac tically nothing, it often pays to keep the pigs till they are of good size, even when other feeds are high. This year a good many pigs are being got rid of ns soon as thej' attain a. weight of 150 pounds. Farmers' Review. Treat Inn II I on t In Sheep, The trouble of hooven or bloat in sheep, caused by various gnseous foods being taken into the stomnch, such as green clover, alfalfa, etc., Is easily re lieved by tying n round stick back in the mouth. 'This is done by taking a piece of an old broom handle or ot her round stick of about thut si.e. The stick should be eight or ten inches long, cut grooves around the stick near each end and tie at these places n string which can be tied back of the head, when .the stick is put in the mouth. This arrangement forces the mouth to remain open. The gas will quickly escape and the animal will be relieved. This treatment is as ap plicable for the cow as for the sheep, but a larger stick is required for the cow. Nebraska Farmer. tin Sonroa of Revenue. The poultry Industry is fast becom ing a most important one in this coun try, and its future development will depend largely upon the attitude of the average farmer towards ia.

What might be called a school on wheels is being sent by the govern ment through the southern states, with a corps of teachers on board, and a quantity of material to help illus trate with object lessons the instruc tion given to the people along the route. This traveling educational enterprise occupies a train of a dozen cars, two it which are fitted up in hotel fashion for the accommodation of the staff of Instructors and their assistants, while the other vehicles are flat cars loaded with an extraordinary variety of pon derous machinery. In fact, such a weighty and elaborate outfit for school purposes was never seen be fore in the world; nnd ns the caravan moves along through the sunny south land the inhabitants may well be as tonished. It Is like a circus without the animals a comparison by no means intended to be disrespectful, in tsmuch as the affair is in reality of very serious importance and practical ralue, being designed for the purpose of encouraging the movement in be half of good roads. This peripatetic school is organized lomewhat on the model of a kinder garten. All the people along the route who will come and be taught are its pupils, and classes run from 500 to 5,000 in number. At each stopping place lessons are given in the art of building roads, from half a mile to a mile and a half of first-class dirt road, jravel road or stone road being con structed. The kind chosen depends on the material at hand; if the stuff is avniluble, a sample of each is built. There could be no more simple nnd ef fective means for conveying substan tial and practical information. The "good roads train," as the trav eling school is called, is run by the National Good Roads association, with the help of Uncle Sam. Director Dodge, of the government roftd Inquiry office, is head tencher, and his chief as listant Is Mr. M. O. Eldrldge. Several engineers, specially trained in the business, accompany the expedition, and there are about a dozen expert workmen to perform the actual labor in the construction of the sample bits of road. The amount and variety of machin ery taken along is surprising. On the flat cars are carried road grading ma chines, rock crushing outfits (includ ing elevators, separating screens and bins); steam rollers, horse rollers, traction engines, wheel scrapers and plows. The plowa and wheel scrapers ire used in the preparation of grades, for reducing hills and filling hollows. The traction engines are for running the crushers, hauling stone and draw 'g the plows and road machines. The oad machines are for rounding up the earth foundation, and the rollers are imployed to consolidate the material. -Pearson's Msgazine. KdaeateTeer Bawels With Csasarrta. Caauf Cathartic, ears eeaatlpaUoa for ram mm. mm, u v. v. v, wu, trv-,i- mm v Osm paragraph ia that part of tha ' feaf-aera Baaaaage which relates ta good rosvda la of especial consideration because at its vary general intereat id application. It ia estimated, he says, that ia 40 eouatiea la Indiana (a good broad baala far computation, aa that la eary tha whole number of eouatiea in' South Carolina) tha average Increase ia tha "selling price" of land, due to existing Improved roads, ia almost IS. SO an acre ($a.M to be exact). ' The eetimated av erage cost of converting common pub lie roads into' improved roads is 91,148 a mile.. The estimated average annual loaa a hundred acrea from poor roads due to added expense of hauling only half loads over them,' breakage and wear and tear of vehicles, loaa of time, etc. is $78, or 78 cents an acre. "It it seen that the loss from poor roads would soon pay for the building of good roads, and after replacing the amount paid for their construction the good roads will continue to pay." The calculation may be varied a lit tle. A good road will steadily jnd ef fectively serve a tract of country for a mile on each side of It, and, as there are 640 acres to the square mile, it fol lows that one mile of good road wjll serve 1.2S0 acres on each side, within the mile limit. It follows, again, that an expenditure of one dollar an acre for each acre so to be benefited will more than pay the cost ($1,146) of Im proving a bad road into so expensive a good one as the kind constructed in Indiana. It is also to be noted that 75 cents of the dollar so expended is offset by the saving of the "loss" for one year on account of bad rond condi tions, leaving the net cost of the im provement to the land owners only 2S cents an acre in fact. This expendi ture Is practically made but once, the actual cost of maintenance being rela tively very small. Wherefore, the im proved rond will nearly pay the whole cost of its construction in one year, and thereafter will continue to return 73 cents an acre annually in the single item of saving the loss resulting from bad roads. To which gain is to be added nil the conveniences of good road service, and the Increase of $6.50 in the value of every acre tributary to the road, as determined by its Inerensed selling price. Four per cent. Interest for one year on the "Inerensed value" alone of the two square miles, or one per cent, a year for the four years, would pay the whole cost of the Im provement. The calculation Is subject to some modifications to adapt it to this state, and to different parts of the state. It will apply closely in districts where roads are Improved on the system and nt the high rate of cost observed in Indiana; but may be greatly changed In the cose of other districts, especial ly, for example, those lying south and east of Columbia. Cood .roa.V to turnpikes have been constructed In Darlington, Rich land and Orangeburg counties, by over laying sand with cloy at a cost ranging down to $50 a mile, and perhaps aver aging less than $300 n mile. Darling ton alone has constructed over 700 miles of such roads in the last five years, and Kichland several hundred more at a cost, we believe, higher than that average. IMacing the average at $300 a mile, however, for such con struction, it follows that every mile of bnd road in more than half the state can be improved into a permanent thoroughly good road at a cost of $300 for the 1,280 acres within a mile on either side of it, or of 23 cents an acre against which single expenditure would be charged nearly the whole an nual saving of loss on account of bad road conditions and whatever increase in land values would result from such improvement. And even the whole 23 cents an acre would represent a tax of only two and a half cents per acre for ten years not a very heavy bur den. Extending the area to be taxed would, of course, reduce the tax rate proportionately. It really appears that lnndowners. farmers and the public generally could well afford to submit to such a tax for the soke of the great and valuable public benefits to be derived from it J at once and for all time to come.
