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.

A very handy manure box and how
to make it is shown herewith. The

It is very easily constructed, is eight
feet long, 10 inches wide, 16 iuuiies

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

milk at a low figure, or near a cheese

the pigs till they are of good size, even
when other feeds are high. This year

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.

GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
I'nlque Travrllnar Ednealloaail En
terprise. Managed h? Gotcm
ment Hoad laenlry Ontec.
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.

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.
