PROGRESSIVE TEXANS. What Travis County Has Done to Improve . Its Public Roads. ) About two years ago we furnished Travis county, Tex., with a complete outfit for stone road-making—crusher, engine and roller. They had previously been using. our read-grading machines, and we present herewith an illustration showing the kind of roads that county 18 now building. -An article by John C. Edgar, of Duval, Travis county, Tex., may no doubt be of interest to our. readers, as it shows how it was possible for Travis county to secure a better condition of public high‘ways. KO E M. Edgar, in commenting upon the road situation in Travis county, says; “While it is true that our road and bridge funds will not permit of any extensive system of road-making, itis possible to do~a great deal more than is attempted. Many have been deterred from doing anything by not knowing anything about road-making and through fear of ‘bankrupting the county.” That feeling seems to have prevailed in this (Travis) county from time immmemorjal until the election of our present judge And board of commissioners about a year ago. { “The majority of that body happened to be broad-gauged, progressive men, who recognized their responsibilities and determined to give the people all -the relief within' their power. What they did may be a useful guide for others, They are making- steady progress i . 'ﬂv‘w’ v, .

and laying the foundation of a grand system of county roads. T may smtel that this county is ‘about two-thirds black prairie and the balance mountain land. The black land furnishes a good dry weather road, but a bad and often impassable- one in wet weather. The mountain roads are rough but never closed ta travel, and do not give the travelers much trouble. Road improvement is, therefore, contfined to our blaek mud lanes.. For some years the county has owned a number of scrapers, mule teams. plows, ete., which were used for road purposes, but the controlling power scemed content to do small repairs and had no plan of road-making. = - *Now, we have a good grading machine,.drawn by twelve mules, which . lexcavates the soil on -the sides and “'dumps it in the middle of the road, leaving good ditches ® * % We have also got a stone crushing machine, driven by steam power, for converting: rock into road metal. e “Our mountain formation is limestone, well adapted for road material ' in this climate, where we never have {frost to swell and h:ave as in more northern “climates * * ¥ There is plenty of good material being used, indeed more than plenty, in fact more than double the amount neccessary. | Our roads are being covered with . crushed stone to a depth of twelve td" eighteen inchies, according to the vary- | ing formation of the surface. This is | : not thoroughness, but waste. Macadam rarely put down a coat of material thicker than six or eight inches, the - exception being the near approach to large cites, where the traffic was con- " tinuous and heavy * ¥ ¥ If six’ _inches of road metal ever made a good and durable roaf, it would do so where | - they —are "now depositing eighteen inches: | “That is where the waste comes. By this management we are now getting but one mile of road where we should bhave two and a half, and that of a better quality * * * The chief itemiofi cost where convict labor and steam crushers are used is for hauling. Our farmers are arranging to do this volun- © tarily by weekly turns. * ¥ * [t seems to me if the farmers in our * black land eounties would unite in this matter and press it upon their county representatives, instead of clamoring and demanding impossible concessions from a paternal government, they would be doing more to improve their “w condition an¢d advance the prosperity | of their class.” _ Any comment on the foregoing seems to us to be unnecessary. 1t shows conclusively that the work of, improving American roads is much . ‘harder in contemplation than in realization; and, aithough necessarily a work of considerable magnitude, it must be apparent to’ the thoughtful . -mind that the same character of energy, persistence and intelligence which . has produced such stupendous results in the development of other branches of our internal improgementé, must eventually give to this country a condition of public highways which will - more Afittingly represent its advanced civilization.—Good Roads. - ‘DAIRY SUGGESTIONS. ) ‘ AX uneven distribution of salt makes streaked butter. - - ‘ Ir you make good butter you can al- ~ ways get a good price for-it.

It is true ~ that good cheese and good butter cannot be made at the same factory.—-

SPRAYING SAVED HALF. ln:teresting Expcrlménts Carried on .at the Ohio Station.

~ The opinion has been held by a few ‘that unfavorable weather is not, in all cases, the direct cause of failure. and some experiments carried on by the. Ohio experiment station strengthen this opinion. An orchard of Newtown pippins, of nearly two hundred trees, was divided off into plots, none of the plots containing less than one row, and some as many as four. The dilute Bordeaux mixture, which was found to be best in '92, occupied the same place last season. The ingredients used in the mixture were sulphate of copper, 4 pounds; lime, 4 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Comparing the two plots where this compound was used with the two unsprayed plots the astonishing fact was observed that no marketable fruit could be found on the unsprayed plots, nor was there much fruit of any kind, while on the sprayed plots, which had been subjected to the same unfavorable climatic conditions, there .was about half a crop. ; - Itis well known that scab attacks apples in all stages of growth, and that if it appears very early it may cause the young fruit to drop preématurely. -When it attacks the blossoms it, of course, destroys them. The first spraying was done before the trees had bloomed, and the supposition is that many of the fungus spores were thus destroyed and the apples were thus given a chance to develop. - Early spraying is essential to the b est-success in preventing, the apple scab. The spores, from which -the scab funicus develops, live over winter on the trees, and begin growth in the spring at the same time as the leaves start to grow. How rapidly the fungus develops depends upon the weather. Nodates can be named for spraying, but a good plan is to make the first application just before the leaves -open, and the second soon after the bl ossoms fall, at which time four cunces of paris green should be added to each fifty gallons of the mixture, in order to kill the apple worm. - A third spraying with the combined mixture is to be given about ten days later, and still another after the same length of time, in case of tontinued wet weather.—Farm and Home. . . PROTECT THE TREES. A Good Device the l?atenf on Which Has g Just Expired. ) Among the expired patents is one for the protection of “fruit-bearing trees against insect pests, which has never received the attention it deserves. The device can be made of any thin metal; tin would be preferable on account of cheapness, but copper would be the most enduring. The metal is so cut and formed that when applied to a tree it resembles the frustrum of a cone, as at B, Fig. 1. In the original it\ was

held in place by an elastic band, which is not as suitable as a small spiral spring, as shown by our drawing {(c), which passes over hooks or projections on its opposite ends,and draws them together, making it fit snug around the tree. If the tree is uneven, or has cav= ities in its bark, the clasping edge of th‘projector can be forced or bent into them, so that a correct fit is made. These projectors are made at a very light cost, and can be of the largest size by seaming together several pieces of tin. The lower edge can be turned up slightly, to hold some repulsive compound or liquid, as shown in I'ig. 2 (B), but this is not necessary for protection against the canker worm, for which the device is mainly intended to be used.—American Ga}'dening‘.

C Babcock Butter ¥Fat Test. The Babcock butter fat test does not show the number of pounds of butter in the-milk. The test is designed to show the butter fat only, and as butter contains from 15 to 20 per cent. of other matter such. as water,” curd and salt, it is of course likely that the yield of butter will be considerably more than the test shows. This excess may be from 10 to as much as 25 per cent. more than the test in accordance with the method used and -the manner in which the butter is worked. Of course the more water and salt that is incorporated with the butter the greater excess can be obtained. ‘When a separation is used and the cream is handled in an intelligent way the loss of fat should be very slight. = On the average 1 think the yield of butter exceeds the test by about 15 per cent.” It could not exceed it as much as 25 per cent. without making a butter that was very. low in. fat.—S.- M. Babcock, Chemist Wisconsin Experiment Station. Bitter ¥lavor of Milk. Milk may have a bitter flavor and become stringy when the cow is suffering from disorder of the liver. This is due to the presence of bilein the blood, and this affects the milk. Give the cow one pound of epsom salts, and repeat in four days. Be sure there is no ragweed in the hay. Give the cow some roots of some kind, except turnips. If these are fed, give them immediately before the cow is milked. Carrots are the best roots for a cow.. If the cow is in calf, this trouble with the milk may be due to that, or it may be caused by weeds in the hay.

i IN- AN "UPROAR." An Exciting Session of the House—Crisp . and Reed in & Wrangle. ~ WASHINGTON, March 31L.—An interpretation of the rules which brought forth the remarks from Mr. Reed and, Mr. Crisp led to an exciting scene Thursday in the house. After the reception of the president’s message a vote on the pending motion, the JoyO’Neill contested election case was had, and resulted 154 to 711, fourteen short of a quorum. Of the eleven who voted against the motion (in effect against giving O’Neill the-seat) .ten were democrats. . : * Then came more filibustering, and Mr. Patterson offered a resolution to revoke the leave of absence and instruct the sergeant-at-arms to take the absentees into custody. Mr: Reed took the floor and in a brief speech scored the democratic side, dwelling particularly upon the absurdity of a proceeding which aimed at procuring a quorum by duress and after one was secured left the house powerless to record its presence. Something in what Mr. Reed said evidently stung Speaker Crisp, who was on the floor at the time, and when the ex-speaker sat down Speaker Crisp arose. The speaker said he only wanted to call attention to the persistence with whi¢ch the leader of the minority (Mr. Reed) had called attention to the absolute iniquity of . the practice of members in refusing to vote when their names were called. Mr. Reed, Speaker Crisp went on, had placed his party in a position when hg¢ made his quorum counting ruling wheve it either had to sustain that ruling or renounce him. But, continued Mr. Crisp, when Mr. Reed had once made tHe ruling his party was forced to sustain him. The speaker proceeded to picture the absolute. power of the ex-speaker over his side of the house. - Mr. Reed expressed a desire to reply to the spealier but his time had expired and he was not permitted to do so. He then asked for a division of the resolution, but DMr. Stone (Ky.) in the chair ruled that the _proposition was not divisible. Party feeling had béen aroused by, the remarks of Mr. Reed and Speaker Crisp and the republicans. began filibustering with redoubled vigor, in the course of which Mr. lLacey appealed from a decision of the chair. The speaker refused to. entain the appeal Mr. Reed,. standing in the center aisle, insisted on knowing the grounds upon which the speaker declined to sustain the appeal, but the speaker only rapped with his gavel and declined emphatically to state. the grounds. Mr. Payne moved to adjourn, and the spealker declined to entertain this motion. By this time the members on both sides were 'wildly excited. Partisan blood was at fevéer heat, and for several minutes pandemonium reigned. Irom all parts of the floor members were shouting their defiance, gnd several per‘sonal collisions were narrowly averted. “I rise to a question of order,” shout“ed Mr. Payne. ' “And the chair refuses to recognize the gentleman for that purpose,” returned the speaker. ‘‘l'he question is on the adoption of the resolution instructing the sergeant-at-arms to arrest absentees; as many as favor it will say

aye, contrary, no.” In the midst of the chorus of voices that followed Messrs. Payne, Boutelle and Reed were on their feet clamoring for recognition. The speaker refused to recognize them. - “Tellers!” shouted Mr. Payne. Pending that motion he moved to adjourn. The speaker declined to entertain the motion. = Mr. Reed loudly insisted on his right to know why, but the speaker replied by ordering him to take his seat. . " Mr. Patterson called for the ayes and noes, and Mr. Payne demanded tellers on the motion. The:speaker appointed Mr. Patterson and Mr. Payne. The latter was still clamoring to be recognized on his point of order. The speaker ordered Mr. Payne to take his place as teller. DMr. Payne declined to serve. . . ‘““The chair then appoints the gentleman ~ from Maine,” said the speaker. Mr. Reed was wild with rage. “I decline to serve,” said he. :

‘“The gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. , Patterson) will act alone.” The dcm-‘ ocrats raised a cheer as the speakerl said this, and moved rapidly past him | in sm%e file to be counted. - . [ Whén a sufficient number had been ! counted by Mr. Patterson to order the ' ayes and noes the announcement was | made. In a chorus the republicans s were protesting against this irregular- | ity and Mr. Reed in a loud voice de- | clared that the chair knew the rules re- k quired two, tellers. é . {‘The house understands the cireum- 5 stances,” replied Speaker Crisp, firmly. | ‘The chair takes all the consequences.” | ‘The scene reminded the old members | of the Fifty-first ‘congress. Mr. Payne | was still talking loudly in the aisle as | the clerk began calling the roll. He | was ordered to take his seat and re- i plied that he would de so when he got | ready. "The speaker met this retort by s declaring that he was ready to enter- | tain a motion to bring the gentleman | to the bar of the house for contumely. i . Mr. Outhwaite and Mr. Boutelle, inj the general confusion that followed, | were engaged in a wordy duel, and ! Mr. Outhwaite threatened tp move that | Mr. Boutelle be called tothe bar for | contempt. The speaker decided that | such proceedings could not interrupt a | roll call, but upon its completion they I were not renewed. The resolntion was | adopted — 164 to 3.
