They will spend 7.e009 for hprwewsalg Township Reads. Abingtofi township. Montgomery county, Pa., at the eleetion, held N'eb roary 81, 1898, decided to borrow $79. 000 at a rate of interest not exceeding five per cent., all of which is to be spent for the permanent improvement of the highways of that district. The fight wasvery hot, the. progree aslve citizens having organized a Road Improvement league which did a good deal of missionary work in convincing the electors of the value that would result to their farms from good roads. The opponents comprise mostly the old-line farmers who thought the roads VIEw OF IMPOBTANT COUNTRY ROAD IN smflxo of 1893. of their fathers were good enough for them. Quite a considerable influence in favor of the improvement was ex erted by the two supervisors. Daniel Webster,whose addres is Abington, and Joshua Longstreth, whose post office is Fox Chase, Philadelphia. These supervisors are progressive and enter prising. and may be relied upon to ju diciously expend the fund about to be placed at their disposal. Abington is one of the townships of. Montgomery county which border up on Philadelphia. and contains the country seats of many Philadelphians. The supervisors have it in their power to make the new road system a mon ument to themselves, and it is sug gested that a little money might be very judiciously expended in a pre liminary examination of approved specimens of good roads in other parts of Pennsylvania or neighboring states and in the employment of a competent engineer to lay out a regular system before the laborof improvement actual ly begins. CRUELTY TO COWS. They Need Exercise in Winter as Well as in Summer. Are men to allow greed to so dom inate them as to obliterate thought of the comfort and the health of the brutes under their charge? Men may regard cattle as mere machines, but the fact remains that they are of a sen sitive organization, capable of suffer ing and enjoyment, and that to a de gree too often lost sight of. The idea that it is just as well for a cow, either in point of comfort or health, to be tied up six months with no exercise, is contrary to all physiological teach ing, that nutritious food, light and ex ercise are necessary to the maintenance of health and a full development. Give cows chance to go out in the sunlight of the warm days in winter and see how quickly they go, and see the real enjoyment depicted on their expressive faces. Even though the milktlow may be somewhat lessened, will not what is lost in quantity be made up in quality? At any rate, I am sure 1 would much rather eat dairy products of strong, healthy cows than that of those weakened and enervated by close confinement and unnatural food, such as would be an exclusive dict of cornmeal. It is not necessary, in order to give them a little exercise and sun light, to range over an extensive area; let them out in an ordinary-sized yard and they will not do traveling suffi cient to waste any great amount of energy.-Farm, Stock and Home. DAIRYING FOR PROFIT. Ihow to Get at the Beal Source of Income in the Industry. Dairying for glory has never been a popular pastime, and it is not likely to be engaged in to any great extent. Hope of profit is the alluring influence in this, as iu arly other productive in dustry. The objective point of every dairyman should be to produce the most possible of the best possible arti cle, at the least practicable cost., to be sold at the highest obtainable prices. There is nd poetry in this view of the business, but there is a vast deal of common sense in it. This being the end in view, that dairyman who pays no attention to the productive capacity of his stock, whose cows are bought with an eye to what they cost and with no reference to what they can do, who ignores the whole subject of what and how much he markets, who shuts his eyes to all sorts of information re specting his business-whose manage ment, in short, is slipshod and in evoiy essential uncertain-fails to get at the real source of profit in his industry. Every point needs to be carefully stud led, everything which can be made to contribute to success utilized. It is better to abandon the business than conduct it on any other plan.-1-'armers' Voice. . The Management of Unives. The young calves will be very thank ful for a small allowance of mixed meal and bran, given once a day. If this is given by hand, in a dish, it will tame the young things and make thnem so docile that there will be no trouble when the calves grow up to cow's es tate, and must be milked and handled. A heifer coining in should never need to be broken. This training, not breaking, should be done early and in the winter when the opportunities are plenty, and if well done there will be no bad habits to be broken. The care should be tolead the young animal by degrees from one stage to another to perfect famiiiarity with its keeper. There will be no vicious or refractory cows in a dairy managed in this way. -American Agriculturist. success in Tomato Culture. Important in tomato culture is it that the plants be kept growing vigor ously, a condition involving rich soil and frequent tillage. Frequent trans planting makes stocky plants. Other things being equal, the earliness and productiveness of tomatoes are in di rect proportion to the earliness of set ting in the field Trimming the plants after a part of the fruit had set in creased the yield by more than one third.

Chase, of Indians, in his recent message to the legislature of that state. G strikes the key-note of the roads quea. a tion in the following language: r! "It is gratifyingto notice the interest v now being taken in the discussion as to f whether Indiana shall become a lead- t1 ing state in the betterment of publio roads. The press almost unanimonsly ii is advocating a better law. The late h convention held in this city for the par- 1 pose of making recommendations to the e legislature was one of the most intel- t ligent ever convened here. No law con- t templated by this hoserable body cant compare with one that shall give the " farmer an open market all the year a round so far as material prosperity is I concerned. t "'Let there be no mistake as to the r make-up of the committee who shall 0 have so much responsibility placed r upon it as this one, as le who supports e legislation with this object in view can n subserve the best interests of his con- t stituents in no other way so thorough- i ly. I doubt if further taxation is nec* t essary for the redemption of our high- u ways. The revenue now used is enor- c mous when we consider the results ob- v tained. The trouble is our system is d wrong. We need more brains and less t muscle in the cause, and until this is v brought about we shall remain in the t slough of despondency. There is no L comparison between our roads and t those of foreign countries, nor of a those in our many sister states. We E are woefully behind them in all thrs t matter. The railroads that eross our ' state like a network have greatly en- r hanced the value of property, but with a first-class public highways the increase in our material wealth will be difficulnt T to estimate. The farmer will be the greatest beneficiary In this matter and yet good roads concern di rectly every citizen. For several E months in each year the farmer is un able to do anything because of impass able roads. His teams are idle, and a the profits of the months be has toiled are used up in doing nothing. This condition of business economy must be changed, and no matter will require your thoughtful attention more than t legislation for the betterment of our - highways." 3 The one phrase in the governor's message that has a world of meaning is "We need more brains and less mus cle." t THE PEACH ORCHARD. t I It Must Have Every Advantage to Senure a Good Crop. In planting peach trees care should i be taken to give the orchard every ad-t vantage to secure a crop and to make the fruit of the best quality and ap pearance, for the reach is a paying c op when it hits the market just 3 right. The best situation is an ele- r vated one, as there is less danger of frost. The best soil is one of a warm, 3 quick nature; it should be naturally n ri ;:h or made so by manure. The peachl tree requires richer soil than the apple, I think; a soil with a large share of potash in it is one of the best. I no tice orchards on hillsides do best, even though the soil may not be so good. t The land should slope to the north rather than south, the blrow of the hill being a better location than a steep northern or southern slope. When on a southern exposure a few warm days may bring out the fruit buds, and they b be killed by a cold snap. I have ob served that orchards on high northern I slopes seldom fail. Some may claim to have a richer fruit from southern aspects, tut the orchards on the north do not fail to have fruit of good quality also. The culture of the peach is quite simple, but it must be thorough and constant; neither grass nor grains should be allowed to grow among them. Garden crops, 1 find, may be I I grown in the orchard even with a ben-2 efit, as they are heavily manured and well worked. The finest peach orchard and the finest fruit I ever saw was planted on a rich, warm soil, culti vated and manured every year the same as the corn crop, and kept well ' pruned. In selecting trees, I much L prefer a small tree to a large one. I have known some growers to select the largest, thinking thereby to get 1 fruit earlier; but I believe such per Ssons malke a serious mistake in so do Sing. A tree should be kept headed in, thinned and well balanced over the Strunk.--Thomas D. IBaird, in Farm and Fireside. GOOD COW STALLS. f A IAlht for Dairyme froem Prince Ed wardI Island,. s The best thing I have yet seen in the way of floors and gutter-s is something -on the principle of "Stewart's stall a grating." The gdtter as here pictured is 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep, i and is sunk so that the top is on a level with the floor; and the back plank of the gnitter has a slope of 6 inches, the top of which is beveled to the plank on whIch the cows stand. Over the edge of the gutter is a wooden grating of hard-wood ribs 2 by 1)( inches, 14 - inches in width, so placed that the - cow's hind feet rest upon it. SWith this floor your cows are always t dry, no manure on their legs or skin; a in fact, it has all the advantagesof a Stewart's grating, with the exception o that instead of standing on cold steel a the cows stand on wood. The manure, y however, is taken out daily, and this o is an advantage if it is desired, as it should be, to keep the stable clean and r sweet.--Country Gentleman. DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

"The people out in Fresno eounty, Caliafornia are getting ready fi their annual round-up and slaughter of jack rabbits,". said P athan Levy, a leading vineyardist of Freano. "If it wasn't for this early spring systematic raid on those destructive pests we would have hearcely a vineyard or an orchard left in southern California On one day in March, generally between the 10th and 15th. the grape and small fruit growers collect together in their respective dis tricts and beat the country thoroughly to drive the swarming jack rabbits from their hiding places into immense wire enclosed corrals, where they are at the mercy of their pursuers, and are knocked in the head with clubs by the thousand. I have known 15,000 jack rabbits to be slaughtered in this way in a few honras. More than that these rabbits are such prolific breeders that every one killed in March or April means that there will be twenty-five or thirty less than there would have been if the rabbits knocked is the head in the spring .had been permitted to live until falL These round-ups are the only means we have ever discovered by which the jack rabbit pest has been kept down. The rabbits are unduly fond of the young shoots of the grapevines, when they make their appearance in the spring, and of the tender bark of prune, plum and other fruit trees, when the sap starts. I have known twenty acres of vineyard ruined in a single night by the cropping of the shoots by these animals, and whole orchards of valuable bearing trees killed by the rabbits girdling them. Poison, traps and guns failed to kill off the rabbits fast enough, and fruit growing in that part of California would necessarily have been to a great extent abandoned if a Fresno county genius hadn't evolved the corralling idea five years ago. The rabbits are driven into the great wire inclosed pound by hundreds of people -men, women and children-closing in around them and preventing them from going in any other direction, except the one that leads them into the corral. Different districts have different days for setting out on the round-up, and the slaughter goes on through March and April. It is safe to say that 100,000 jack rabbits are thus killed every spring in that part of the state. As at that season of the year this big rabbit's flesh is in in excellent condition and the animal is highly esteemed as food, a twofold benefit is derived from this great yearly slaughter. The Cali fornia jack rabbit is the biggest rabbit in existence, one five feet long being not uncommon. They are as fleet as the wind, but will sit still on their forms or by the roadside until you have almost grabbed them by their mule like ears, but before you have closed your fingers on them there will be no rabbit there, but if you look thirty or forty yards ahead you will see. what you think is another one humped up in a fluffy bunch, waiting for you in the same way. But it won't be another rabbit. It will be the same one. They ,are as swift and sudden as the fleas that swarm on them as soon as the summer comes. These fleas are so thick upon the jack rabbit, and are so ravenous, that they have actually reduced the long-eared, four-footed jumper to a skeleton by the time the fall rains set in. If it wasn't for those regular fall rains the fleas would be of great service to us in destroying the rabbit pest, for the rabbits could not stand out many days longer against the assaults of the lively parasites. BIt the fall rains are fatal to the fleas. The water kills them and washes them off of the rabbits and the latter pitch in on our vineyards and orchards and grain with sharpened ap petite...-N. Y.
