' ir Hard Milkers. ei : We are requested by some of our ai readers to re-publish the following, I by Dr. David Roberts, the State Vet- fl , ! erinarian, of Madison, Wisconsin, w i who is good authority on the subject, pi i He says: p; 1 This trouble is due to an abnormal tl I contraction of the sphincter muscles si j at the tea* and oftentimes reduces g I the value of what might have other- w , ; wise been a valuable cow, as no one ' j wishes to purchase or own what is i termed as a hard milker; but if stock I owners knew how easily this trouble j could be overcome they would never 0i think of disposing of a hard milker j at a sacrifice, as is now being done tl by many. tl The mere fact that a cow is a hard milker does not indicate that she is tl ! not a good milker, but owing to the tc j fact that she is a hard milker she is ti : oftentimes neglected at milking time by a disgusted milker, who leaves a jE i large quantity of the mijk in her g i udder that should have been drawn ^ out. a, } Stockmen who know how to handle 0j such cases oftentimes buy valuable <5, cows, owing to the fact that they are hard milkers, and by the use of a | teat plug and a few treatments for ^ hard milking, cause them to become a? : splendid, easy milkers, thereby in- ^ ; 1 creasing their value many more times ft than the cost of the treatment. A tc ' : milking tube should never be used in Vi ! 1 such cases as there is too much dan- ^ [ ; ger of infection and the results are w 1 not as good as from the use of the ^ ' j teat plug. ir , i w j ! Staking Tomatoes. si The nicest way I have found to c< I raise tomatoes is to tie them up to a | ' strong stakes. Drive in the stakes e' , I solidly and set the plants beside ni I them. /Keep them tied up as they c< ! j grow, and keep a good part of the tl | side shoots trimmed off. I leave four h > i or five of the lower branches and alio ti- thorn trv Ho r?r> tho p-rv^nnH This S] ! I 0 ! is some work, but it pays; it gives a si , i chance to go among the vines to hoe ' and water, and you can have your tc garden as neat in the time of r^pe e tomatoes as any other time in the tl summer. And when you want the c< ripe tomatoes you can see at a glance P ' where they are, and every tired wo- h j man knows what a convenience that h 1 is. I seldom see a rotten tomato on I the vines' that are tied up. The n ! stakes, however, must be strong and n: ! j firmly set, for you will often see a ^ peck of tomatoes on the vines. One S day a lady friend said: "I'll never tie s* up tomatoes again; it don't pay, for tl whenever the tops get heavy over b ; they go." When I walked into her A | garden, behold,^ she had procured a 1 lot of elder branches to tie her car- a | : nations up to, and the largest of these 6 j 6he used for hei tomatoes. Another tj friend decided to use the banana cl j crates which were discarded, at the b j nearest grocery. The result was very ii unsatisfactory, as the tomatoes were c enclosed and the pieces were so close- ^ ly fitted that you could hardly get si the hand between the latter to pick E the tomatoes. E 5 A good kind of early tomato is the b ' j "Matchless." Early plants are best fi 1 i raised in tin cans that have been 0 1 mel ad apart: bend them in shape, t set them closely together in the hot c . : bed, fill with good soil and plant three I - or four seeds in each one. Thin the s plants out as they grow until you a , I have jnly one plant in each can.

E. E., In | the Indiana Farmer. r When to Market Lambs. i 5 I Many farmers who are beginning t s the sheep business have lambs com- c !ng in March and April, and it is well c - to consider just how to handle these ^ - lambs in order to make the greatest c 2 profit. ( s j The ewe lambs will, for the most ? - i part, be kept over for breeding pur- ? i poses. The wether tembs will all be 1 > sold within twelve months. The prob- * lem is whether to push these forward t - and sell them on the early market, t - say June, July or August, or to keep s [ them through till Christmas. Janu- I ry or February, and sell them for bout the same number of dol'.'ars er head that can be secured in midummer. Which of these methods should be dopted will depend on the possibility f selling them in carload lots, or to ell them to men wh' make up carsad lots. In a community where there are a reat many sheep breeders, and 'here it is possible for shippers to uy carloads of lambs as they do of ogs, I have no hesitation in saying hat the best way is to have the imbs eat oats and corn as early as ossible, give them free access to it t all times in clean troughs, allow tiem the milk of their dams, and ell them at seventy to ninety pounds efore weaning. Where one is so largely engaged in iie sheep business that he can handle carload of wethers at any time, this i certainly the way to make quick nd easy money. My experience has been that by aving the lambs come in March and pril and pushing them forward in lis way, I could get as many dollars jr them in July and August as I juld in January and February. In le meantime they have consumed ir less grain, the risk of disease has een reduced to a minimum and roney is quickly turned. Where, however, one must depend a the local butcher for his market >r lambs, it is quite is well to finish lem off at about 100 pounds at nine, >n or eleven months. If anyone will jmpare the weights and prices of imh? nn the citv market, say Chica o, in July and August with the eights and prices in January and ebruary, he will find that the lamb ilia for about as many dollars in ie first mentioned months as in the LSt. One of the main advantages in selllg early is that the risks from disise, especially the stomach worm, re reduced to the minimum. Lambs fed generously from the rst are seldom injured by theie orms, even when kept on infected astures; but when kept on infected astures and given only the milk of leir dams they are very likely to lccumb to the diseare along in Auust and September.?W. H. Underood, in the Indiana Farmer. A Rhode Tsland Red Talk. A friend said to tne writer ine tber day: "Geer, what do 3'ou know about le Rhode Island Reds, where did ley come from anyhow, and where Id they get the drag they have on le poultry fraternity?" Our reply > one section of his compound queson was prompt: "Rhode Island, of course, up there t Yankeeland where they made the arred Plymouth Rocks, dressed Dwn the Leghorns, Brown, White tid Black, and struck out of a piece I marble the beautiful White Wyanotte." In general, however, his question erplesed us, for we do not know as luch about the Rhode Island Reds 3 we should like to know. But we 0 know that in the matter of color is necessary to breed very closely ) the standard in order to make advancement in a fixed red color for le breed. It will not do, if one ants to raise clear red birds, to reed from fowls with white or smut 1 their plumage, nor from hens hich in their second and third yeai now too much of the light creamy >lor. And, our observation is, that pullet that is really a good, dark ven shade of red, with no'white, and o smut, will not fade to the lighter >lor as she advances in aee. like one lat is less clearly red, or one thai as defects in the way of smut, etc. In fact, in breeding Reds, we lould select the pullet that shows no aaut adown the back in the under jathers, and which has no tendency ) light blotches in the heavier feathrs. One thart is a good, clear red to le skin, with a glowing, clear red ist in the sunshine. This kind of a ullet will, when she gets older, still ave a well defined reddish cast tc er plumage, and will not run to a ghter creamy color, with darkei eckhackle. And such a female., lated with a cock bird that is likeise free of smut and white, with ood red undercolor and a good trong ,red In His suriace coior, win irow chickens that will take the reeding line away up, in the way ol xing a truly red breed. In points of utility the Rhode Isl? nd Reds are all right. The hens dd et broody to an aggravation someimes if we are not looking for that haracteristic; but they may be easilj roken up by simply dropping them 1 a small bare pen with an active ockerel for a few days. They lay -ell, and keep it up in the cold seaan, too. A friend of ours who has ieds, Rocky and White Plymouth iocks, let the two latter breeds go ecause he always got more eggs rom his Reds than from either of th?' ther breeds. The Reds are hearty, and the hicks grow fast and mature early t's a good breed and one that will tay with us, settling down eventually long the line of utility with the Jarred Plymouth Rocks, the S. C irown and White Leghorns, and the Vyandottes.?H. B. Geer, in the In iana Farmer. Glasgow a Soberer City.

O QMtoisetHeaecesMeiniei Dr. W. R. C. Latson has something very interesting to say in The Outing Magazine regarding exercise. He divides the people ii? general into three classes: trained athlete, those who exercise at random, and those who neglect exercise altogether. In one place Dr. Latson says:# "The ordinary 'professor' knows no more about the principles of bodily development than he does about I ancient Coptic. And the poor layman, groping to find some guide to a correct method of physical training, must necessarily fail to obtain from his desultory experiments any real , or lasting benefit. "In the fiirst place, current methods of physical culture aim at factitious results. The man is trained, not to develop a fine physique, powers of endurance, grace, and general bodijy efficiency, but to win at tome particular event. "Of course the poor little people who exercise at random or who fall into the net of the wily 'professor,' get little or nothing for their time and money. The men and women who write the articles or who prepar/ the material for the 'courses' as a rule know but little, if anything, more about the majfce* than those I who are held up for the price of the | Instruction. The result is failure to j realize any great or lasting benefit j from the time and effort put forth." In conclusion, Dr. Latson describes ' a system of ten simple exercises which will result in an increase of health, strength, endurance, and bodily efficiency which will be a surprise and delight to the student.

( feisS Hcmfts Importance of Good Roads. 1 We have received a copy of the report by the Senate Committee on 7 Agriculture recommending the enact- ? ment of Senate Bill No. 6931, providing for an appropriation of $500,000 a for the extension of the work of the 13 U. S. Office of Public Roads in aid- 11 ing in the improvement of the public ^ highways. Senator J. H. Bankhead, of Alabama, in his speech on the bill said: 1 The national Governments of all J the principal nations of the world rt:cept the United States actively aid ^ and encourage the building and maintenance of public roads. France has J the most superb system of roads in the world, completed at a total cost I of $612,775,000. The effect of these j roads upon the material prosperity of the French people is indicated in the following extract from a report by r Francis R. Loomis, commercial agent ^ at fit. Etienne. France, dated AdHI I 23, 1891: "The road system of France has been of far greater value to the cciun- | try as a means of raising the value of * lands and of putting the small peas- ? ant proprietors in easy communica- 1 tion with their markets than have the railways. It is the opinion of wellinformed Frenchmen who have made a practical study of economic problems that the superb roads of France have been one of the mo3t steady and potent contributions to the material development and marvelous financial elasticity of the country. The farreaching and splendidly maintained road Bystem has distinctly favored the success of the small landed proprietors, and in tSeir prosperity and in the ensuing distribution of wealth lies the key to the secret of the wonderful vitality and solid prosperity Df the French nation." As a result of the improved condition of the roads in these countries, their farmers haul produce to market at an average cost of only ten cents per ton per mile, and In some cases it is as low as seven cents; while, as a result of the bad conditions of American roads, our farmers are forced to pay an average expense of' twenty-three cents per ton per mile on every ton of produce hauled to market or shipping point. ?Indiana Farmer. Improving the Roads. Of New York State's 80,000 miles of public highways, running through her 30,476,800 acres, 3000 are State roads, maintained by the State. The remainder are under the care of county or town. On January 1, 1909, when the new State Highway Commission was created, there were practically 2000 miles of highway macad- j amized; now 2400 miles are improved. This year the commission hopes to in- j crease the miles improved by perhaps i 500, and to increase each year until the total per year will amount to 800 Dr 1000 miles. Thus far this year 120 contracts for improved roads have been let by the commission, and more contracts fl will be awarded. This will be the last g until fall or winter, enabling the sue- | cessful bidders to get ready for work | early nest spring. ~ Under the law some work must be i done in all counties whose road* are j to be improved at the same. time. The I si 1?0 contracts awarded this year call j s< for the building of 430 miles of'hAgh- If way, at a total cost of f5,600,000. Of o; this total the State will pay about n 54,500,000 and the counties and ti towns the remainder. p Of the work contracted for 158 t( miles are Stata trunk lines and about tl 272 miles county roads. The State n pays the entire cost of the trunk o: lines, while the State, county and tl towns share the cost of the county tl roads. The contracts to be awarded tl will amount to about $504,000, tl bringing the total outlay for the sea- o: son 10 more man ^o,uuu,uuu. u The trunk lines will traverse the a State from east to west and from a south to north. One trunk line will run from New York City to Plattsburg, on Lake Champlain. From Plattsburg the trunk line will pro- j, :eed westerly through Ogdensburg, Q, Watertown and Oswego to Syracuse, tt where it will join the main artery, ex- _ t#nding through the centre of the ^ State from Albany to Buffalo. This p( central artery will pass through Am- p 3t?riam, Utica, Syracuse and Roches- g ter. tc A third east and west trunk line will run through the southern tier of ^ counties, and will pass through the y( lities of Binghamton, Elmira, Corning, Olean and Jamestown. There pj will be several trunks extending north g) ind south, which will connect the j, trunks along the southern tier with _ :bat from Albany to Buffalo.?New Fork Times. Deacons Stick Together.
