TURNIPS IN THE CORN.
Tat Uo*d 4'rapa tirowa Tagtlher.
Saw Abanl (he Middle at Jaljr.
I bave (teen rowing turnip seed in
my cornfield for nearly 50 yearn. One
year I Mowed 30 pounds of teed on 30
acre* and barvexted about 10,000 bushel*
of turnipa and a good crop of corn,
Hay* a writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
Plant the corn in straight row? and
keep tbe cultivator going until about
the middle of July, tben bow the turnip
aeed directly after tbe last cultivation.
If two or three dashing showers
fall in a week or so, no covering is
needed' If my ground is ready and
showers are in prospect, I hasten to
sow my beed. If no rain come*, tbe
aeed must be lightly covered, much as
you would clover seed. Two or three
boards fastened together and drawn
between tbe rows ol corn cover the
need very nicely.
A strap leaved turnip of the best variety
will grow almost anywhere provided
tbe plant can get a start. I
want my turnips for reeding all the
way from September to February, and
I want a lot ofthem. Bushel for bushel
they are worth more than mangels
durlug this time. (Jive the cattle aud
sheep plenty of turnips, and no medicine
will be needed.
Turnips should be stored as near the
stock as possible, so they cau be easily
fed. Auy place where ventilatiou cau
be controlled and where froets ran be
kept out will auswer. 'I have a cellar
under the driveway of my barn 10 by
32 to 10 feet, which I have tilled with
roots more than once. He careful however,
not to put any turnips into your
cellar after they have been out on the
ground on a frosty night. A few bushels
injured by freezing will start a heat
that will destroy all of them. Cotton
Plant.
People lay up flre-wood in the summer
when there is no need of lire, to
burn in the winter, when bitter winds
blow and tlieair is keen and cold. So

A vast number fail from lack of mor- i

use of that mighty monosyllable "no;"
it has been the pivot on which innum>

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
TIm Employment of Free Labor Give* th?
IScst KctulU.
Commenting on the employment ol j
convicts on the public highways, thf
New Orleans Times-Democrat point*
out that the best results have been obtained
in road building when the best
free labor only baa been employed. It
toys:
Road construction is a science requiring
a more careful study of the rob
ject than is generally imagined. Thf
prevalent idea that any one can build a
good road will not bold good. The
matter requires study, core and a thorough
knowledge of tbe soil and country
through which tbe rood is to be built.
The department of agriculture baa late
ly been doing good work by laying Defore
tbe people exactly wbat id necessary
in road construction.
Tbe employment of convicts in road
construction is very popular jast now.
as offering simultaneously a solution of
tbe two troublesome problems of wbat
to do witb our prison population and
bow to improve our highways. In view
of tbo fact that tbe convicta in New
York, Indiana and other states are kept
idle, as the law makes no provision for
their support, it ia well that Louisiana
should take some steps to utilize hers
when it has tbcm on its bands, and
road construction seems an ideal employment
for tbcm.
On the other hand, the experience of
those states which have been most successful
with their roads ia that only
the best labor (and convict labor ia not
the beat) should be employed In tneir
construction and maintenance. No state

It baa been estimated that 600,000,
000 tooa of farm produce are haded to
market annually in the United States
and that the cost of marketing it it S3
per ton, or juit about 11,000,000,000.
Tbii ia not money paid out, but is the
Talne of the time spent by farmers with
their teams in marketing crops or what
these men and teama would have earned
if they had been hired for cash to do
thia amount of hanlibg. The secretary
of the farm era' national congreaa and
the United Statea department of agriculture
agree in eatimating that about
60 per cent of thia vaat amount, or
9600,000,000, would be aaved each yeai
if farm era were able to do this hauling
over good roada
Thia, then, is the amount of the annual

ubmitting, says the Cedar Rapids (la.)

steamboat lines hate been assisted by
the etatea and subsidized by the government,
but nothing has been done for

wealthy corporations or from the state.

Four or fire years ago the town of
Hempstead, Qneensoounty, N. Y., voted
to spend $400,000 in road improvements.
Farms at the time were Worth from $30
to $50 an acre. They are now worth
several hundred dollars an acre and return
good interest for those who purchased
them at that price. This has
been such an object lesson to their
neighbors that I understand something
like $1,000,000 will be spent this year
In other pans of Queens county and
neighborhood in building good roads.

Fifty Xllaa to Market.
It is not an uncommon thing in
France to see a farmer 40 or 60 miles
from home in wet weather with a heavy
load. If he aeea a prospect of a three
days' rain, he puts hia tarpaulin over
hie load, a cover over hia horses and a
waterproof coat on and starts off to market
He may go 60 miles before he finds
a market that suits him, or he may
know in advanoe just where be ia going.
Ton do not often aee anybody driving 60
milee through a rainstorm in the United
States to find a market for a load of
hay, but it ia not at all uncommon to
see farmers' wagons 40 or 60 milea from
home in France. They choose the wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just aa good then as at any time.?

GOVERNMENT ROADMAKING.
Work ml Construction Supplement** by
Lectures by an Expert.
Several weeks ago the department of
agriculture began its tint experiment
in roadbuilding at New Brunswick,
N. J., under the direction of E. B.
Harrisoo, special agent of the offioe of
load inquiry.
The model road being considered Is
the first of several which the government
is to boild at the various experiment
stations throughout the country.
The government furnishes a rock crusher,
screen, engine to drive Ktoam roller,
spreading wagon and rood grading machine
and two skilled operators. The
city furnishes the material, carta and
laborera.
Tbe road will be of macadam pattern.
An inferior grade of traprock is found
in abundance near New Brunswick and
this is being used in the substructure
of the road. The superstructure is obtained
from the traprock deposits in
the neighborhood of Plainfield and the
Oranges.
The model parement will have a
depth of about nine inches and the foundation
be made of small, wedge shaped,
broken stones of as nearly the same dimensions
as possible. The roadbed will
be prepared bj thoroughly rolling with
a steam roller weighing about ten tons.
Every bole will be carefully filled with
the same material that composes the
rest of the roadbed, and the finished
cross section will be formed by two
grade* of one foot in 30 feet from the
ides, uniting it the center, with the
apex slightly roaudcd. Foar inches of
crashed stone will be ipread on the
carefully prepared roadbed to form the
foundation of the substructure. The
largest of these stones will be crushed
so fine as to be able to easily pass
through a two inch ring, and the small*
eat will be about half an inch in diameter.
This foundation will then be sprinkled,
making the stone as wet as possible
without softening the roadbed, and
the roller passed over it a few timea
until the stone isonlj slightly disturbed
by the teams returning with the empty
carta The first foundation is not made
deeper'than fdur inches, because it has
been found that a greater thickness
causes the stones to "elbow" together,
wealing off their sharp corners, making
the "bonding;" which is the great desideratum,
a very slow process if not
an impossibility.
When the first foundation has been

similar atone three inchea in thickness
will be applied. After the atone hai
been well" bonded" to thia extent it will
gain be sprinkled, and while very wet
a thin coating of traprock screeningi
will be moat carefully spread over the
surfaoe, just thick enough to fill the
small spaces between the stones. The
size of the stones of this last application,
which is called in the parlance ol
roadbuilding the "binder," will be
from half an inch in diameter to the
finest dust When the work bos reached
thia stage, it will be left untouched in
the dry state as long aa practicable tc
harden and bind. The application d
water and the passage of vehicles will
be prevented as long as practicable.
Aa the work progresses Mr. E. B.
Harrison, who is directing the work foi
the department of agriculture, will deliver
lectures explaining the process d
laying the road. Rutgers college atudents
in the agricultural department
and farmera will be invited to attend
the lectures and witnesa the work.
