THE ANNUAL BLOCKADE.

It Has a Wonderfully Far-Reaching Effect on Commercinl as Well as Social Life,

~The season has come again when business in a large part of the United States, especially in small towns where the merchants depend largely upon the distribution of their wares among the agricultural population within a radius of ten or fifteen miles, is greatly interfered with by bad roads. The extent of this drawback to prosperity is seldom understood. even by those who suffer most by reason of it. Of course the farmers of all sections have abundant opportunities, during the season when the roads are fairly comfortable and good, to, get all their crops to market and buy all the merchandise which they can gfford to purchase. Therefore, it sometimes seems as if the effect of bad toads were merely to change the distribution of.trade, with little or no effect upon its total volume. That is partly true; but in a large degree it is not so. Business put off beyond the natural time for transacting it is often never Y . o B o RN | < N oy N 7 & ’r‘}g‘\'\ o~ = S e o 2 = & e (R el Sl o —_ @;; - e ——— - :-:%;:‘3%72/ s o= e - := - - ! NO BLOCKADES HERE. (Bryant Avenue, an Ideal Road Near - Princeton, Il1.) done at all. People get along without merchandise ‘which they would use if it could be obtained when it is wanted, without excessive trouble and discomfort. On -the other hand. farm products which cannot be marketed for weeks at a stretch. on account of the bad roads, often lose much of their value. IZven when there is no such inJjury done to the producers by enforced delays in getting to market, the waste of time, the extra wear and tear of farm wagons and the strain to which horses are subjected by drawing heavy loads over bad roads count so much reductien of the natural profits of agriculture, Thus the farmer’s means of buying are doubly reduced, and the merchant suffers the loss of trade which he might otherwise have. _

A similar unfortunate effect of the bad roads which are nearly universalin the greater part of the country is the constant uncertainty whjc'h is caused in all business dealings dependent upon the trade of farmers and rural districts. Merchants may be too busy one week and practically idle the next, instead of having their work reasonably distributed. And farmers who would do their shopping at convenient times, often returning home after dark and making the best of the daylight hours of late winter and early spring in preparing for field work, are compelled to put off nec¢essary business as long as possible, and then take some day for it which they do not like to spare for such use. Many country roads at this time of the year are really dangerous to drive through in the dark., with almost any sort of vehiclé, They are not much better by davlight. "The effect of unfit highways upon the distribution of wealth and the massing of populatien in cities and large towns is another important phase of the roads questicn. The badness of the highways in the country tends powerfully to spoil rural life for social purposes and drive young people into the cities, who might otherwise lead happier and mhore wholesome lives where they were born. It cuts down the value of farm property and artificially increases the congestion of the crowded centers of trade and industry. If the roads were better there would be a far more uniform and satisfactory distribution of wealth and popwlation, and more Americans would enjoyv thé restfulness and health-giving suburban and country life: which is already fast growing in favoriin spite of bad roads. ‘ It seems hardly neeessary to enlarga upon the subject, because thewase is $0 plain, but every spring and every autumn the old curse of unfit highways is forced upon the attention of the American people, and every year it is inposgible to resist the conclusion that if the benefits of good roads were better understood they would not be so scarce as they are in every part of the country. In the vast field of highway improvement lies the most pressing need of local government effort.—Cleveland Leader. - ' ¥

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

- Plow “shallow” in your orchard. - Plant a few shrubs and fruit trees about vour house. S

Wood ashes are good for a lawn, especially on sandy soil. If selecting a fruit orchard spot, be sure that it is located high. = - Plan your gardens so that you can stir them with a cultivator. ' - Dig up around your trees and mix into the soil coal or wood ashes.

Heavy land should be well drained before an orchard is plantedonit. Serape thé bark lice from your fruit trees and give the trunks a coat of whitewash. : - Mix brains with your soil; cultivate with judgment; harvest with care; and market with intelligence. : Do you grow your fruit, reader, or do you buy it? If you buy it, we will venture to say that you don’t have much. Plant sweet corn in the garden for family use. We always plant Stowell’s evergreen. It is late but its yield and quality are excellent.—Western Plow-

COST OF HAY SHEDS.

It Is Absclutely Insignificant When Compared with the Saving They Always Effect.

One of the common leaks upon the farm is in stacking hay, as often a large part of the crop is left out for months. If the work is poorly done great loss and damage is the result, however good the quality of the hay may have been when stacked. The cost of building suitable hay sheds in addition to the mow room of the barn need noet be great. A shed 20 by 30 feet and 14 feet to the eaves can be erected at slight cost. - Several years ago I built such a one, setting the posts on rock and spiking stringers and plates to the posts, using six-inch bolts which- I bought and had a blacksmith sharpen. Holes should be bored in the stringers and plates; then drive the bolts into the posts solid. Such a plan is much better than to use spike nails. Any rough lumber will do for siding, and the shed should be covered with clapboards or ‘shingles. Have an opening at one end for unloading hay. By building the shed larger and higher one could put in a carrier and hay fork. Place the lower stringers two feet from the ground and a scantling 18 inches above it; then after your siding is on go round and saw holes out of it two feet wide, which™will make them 18 inches high; saw holes every three feet. This makes a capital place to feed cattle, and they will waste scarcely any hay. A low shed built around three sides of the hay shed will make a good protection for cattle, siding up the west and north sides. Cattle will do in such quarters almost as 'well as in expensive barns. By building the cornerib near the shed and feeding corn once a day cattle will winter finely, and.for quite a while can reach hay for themselv%s. and when it gets beyond them push it down from the top all round and you have a good manger. This way is not perfect, of course, but it has the merit of cheapness and efficiency, and isa very satisfactory way to feed hay, as I have tried it for years. This plan of feeding is intended for cattle from two to three Yyears old.—Prairie Farmer. )

MILK COWS CLEAN.

By No Other Method Can All the Butter FFat Comtained in the Milk ; Be Obtained. ’

It is a well-known fact that cows not milked clean will tend to dry up in short order. Another important reason for milked clean will tend to dry up in short fat, which is containeé in a much largen per cent. in the last than in the first milk drawn, as is shown by the following experiment:

The Kansas state college dairy has conducted an experiment showing the importance of clean milking. Five cows that were giving a fair quantity of milk were selected, and their milk collected in half-pint bottles, each teat contributing its share to every bottle. Thege samples were tested with the Babcock test, with the following results: Cow No. 6 varied from .6 of 1 per cent. to 7.% per cent. R

Cow No. 10 varied from .2 of 1 per cent to 6.6 per cent.

Cow No. 14 varied from 1.6 per cent to 5.8 per cent. '

Cow No. 15 varied from 1.5 per cent to 6.8 per cent.

Cow No. 20 varied from Bof 1 per cent to 7.8 pér cent. S

. The results show a gradual, although not entirely uniform, increase in the per cent. of fat from the beginning to the last of the milking, except with the last two samples drawn from each cow. Here the per cent. of fat would take a sudden leap, amounting ofterf’ to a third or a half of the total variation. This shows very clearly how important it is to get all the milk. By averaging the results it was found that the last quarter of a pint was worth from threefourths to one and a half pints of milk first ‘drawn from the udder. Moral: Milk clean and get fat.—D. H. Otis, in Western Rural. ' USEFUL IMPLEMENT. }

fiow the Churning Pin Is Used in the Creameries and Home Dairies of Denmarl,

A churning pin is a combination of a long, narrow spoon and a spatula. When the ehurning approaches its closing stage it serves well for taking out sam- = e e e e A CHURNING PIN, £ ples of butter, the hollow side of the pin being run down along the side of one of the dashers. After the butter has been taken out of the churn, during the working, the flat end of the pin may be employed in removing small grains of dirt, in breaking the bulk for trial, ete. In Danish ereameries and home dairies this pin is of considerable importance, and succeeds the thermometer when the churning is at an end.— J. Christian Bay, in Farm and Fireside. Taberculin Test Successful. The tuberculin test was employed by the Ohio station with satisfactory results. Thirty-one cows and bulls were subjected to the test and 14 of those responded. These latter were re-treated about two months later, and the results then confirmed the first test. Finally the entire herd of the station wastested,with the result of adding sev‘eral more to the list of suspected cases. About ten months from the first test the animals were re-tested and 15 head killed. The tuberculin test. was confirmed in every particular, most of the animals being so diseased as to be condemned as unfit for feod; yet they had .£hown no external symptoms of the disease and were in good flesh and apparently perfectly healthy. Test Each and Every Cow. What we dairymen should aim at is to secure the best cows we can, and try testing each cow’s milk separately and ascertain for sure whether they pay for their keeping and give us a little profit. ‘We can be satisfied with a small profit, but cannot afford to keep cows at a loss for the benevolent purpose of supplying dairy products to consumers at ‘a low cost. Excelsior should be the ~watchword, and the poorer cows kept ~only until their places can be filled by

The way to be well is to pay attention to your kidneys.

They are the most important organs of the body—the blood filters. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys.once every three minutes.- %

The kidneys strain or filter out the impurities in the blood—that is their work. !

Purifying your blood is not a question of taking a laxative of physie. - Does your blood run threugh your bowels? - : What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw out the poisons confined in your bowels ready for absorption into your blood, but the poisons which are already in your blood, causing your present sickness, it leaves there.

There is no other way of purifying your blood except by means of your kidneys. That is why bowel-cleaners fail todo their work—they fail to help the kidneys. A ' :

In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to nature, for SwampRoot is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that.is known to medical science. ’ ‘ Dr. Kilmer, the eminent physician,
