A number of orders on the treasurer were on motion signed by the reeve. On monion the council adjourned to meet; Saturday, Nov. 25th, at one o'clock p.m. The oil, it is said, “is run in furrows made by a little hoe, and is covered by other hoes following. This is to prevent the oil from seeking a level in any law place and be- coming unevenly dietrlbuted on the road. After all the oil has been applied, the same machine is used to Incorporate the oil and earth. Two horses are attached to the anparatus, and by the means of numerous other friction teeth, and by going over the road the rest of the day for the purpose of incorporating the earth and oil, the road is made ready 'for use. The oil 'used is a; L hemy quality at aSphaltum oil, dhd is Recent reports from California. indicate‘ that the use of oil on roadways has been pretty thoroughly tested during the past year, and with very satisfactory results. Some 75 or 80 miles have been made dust- less in this way and seem to have turned out well enough to lead to a continuance of the practice. The method employed to distribute the oil is by means of a portable tank running on two wheels which are attached to the rear of an oil-tank wagon. ‘The small tank receives its oil from the wagon and discharges it through tubes on its under sides. These tubes are about six inches apart and are operated by a. lever. Improving the Highways applied hot. The affinity of the earth for the oil when both are hot is very great.” The quantity of oil required is between 50 and 60 barrels for each mile of? a road 18 ‘ feet wide, for the first application. and after that about 20 barrels per mile. Three applications are required yearly. When the oil is thoroughly incorporated with the surface. an elastic roof or covering for the road is produced, which prevents grinding, cutting or the formation of ruts, and com- pletely destroys all dust. If the road is properly graded and rounded, it isssid to shed water perfectly, and no mud is formed. It has been feared that road- ‘oiling would prove disastrous to the tires iof rubber-tired vehicles, but those who have tried it say that such is not the case- Detailed information can doubtless be had by addressing Mr. L.

If they are not thoroughly underdrained, they will break up and become worthless. If rightly underdrained, they may be easilv kept in repair. _. 7A: “yr-v -â€" â€"‘r Even with so many miles of improved roads being built in different states, there is not yet sumcient attention paid to the subject of maintenance. Nothing remains long without change, and highways are no exception. When completed and brought into perfect shape they reach their maxi. mum condition of efficiency, but they do not retain it long unless they are constantly watched and cared for. Theresults obtained resemble what would occur if a railway company should neglect its roadbed and discharge its trackwalkers and inspectors- In France the national roads are cared. for on just the same system that railroads use tokeep their roadbeds in order, and the result is that the French roads are the finest in the world. Mr. Geo. Rice of Oxford county, writing to the Farmers' Advocate of Oct. 2, says: I am inclined to think that the aroma of butter is mostly affected by feed, at least primarily. The aroma-of June or grass butter is the highest, other things being equal. Of course, if cows eat weeds or drink foul water it will not be, but as our work in the butter line comes in winter, the problem is to have an equal flavor then, and we are able to do so by feeding good wholesale food. Roots, ensilage, bran and clover hay are our mainstay. As milk bears so close a relation to the blood, if not derived from it, whatsoever contri- butes to keep the blood and system ini high tone must necessarily have an influ- ence upon the milk production, both quantity and flavor. I take issue here with those who are forever belittling one 1of our very best foods; that is, roots. I [know from my own experience that feed. ing turnips. when done at the proper time, does not injure the flavor of butter, but I believe, on the other hand, by purifying the blood, is a benefit. I feed roots twice every day from November to May. mostly turnips, and see the records our cows make! I have a private creamery plant. and sell our own butter at top market prices of Toronto market, which is the best of proof that our system of feeding is all right; in fact, the aroma and flavor are pronounced verv flue. Of course. turnips can be abused by feeding before milking, but there are many other things that need attending to. I should say the most general bad prac- l tice is in caring for the milk. Some seem to think milk in winter does not need aeration. A too general practice is to put the milk in a large can in a cold place, and 1 let it alone. The result is a scum formSI over the milk as well as cream, and the animal odor has no chance to escape. The milk gets cold, mostlikely freezes some. and to thaw it out the next mess of warm milk is poured right into same can, which makes a double bad practice. Milk should not be frozen, and warm milk should not be added to cold milk until aerated and cooled to 60°. I consider the simplest-way to aerate milk is to keep it in pails, and stir or pour occasionally to keep the cream from pouring over the top, as even in nails afllm will soon form that retains heat and odors. I consider the care of cows and their milk as of first importance. No one can make a fine- flavored butter out of a poor-flavored milk. iThouzh milk not aerated may have no particular bad flavor, yet it is “dead" or “flat.” Texture of butter is largely under con- trol of the buttermaker. Cream must be at the right temperature for at least an hour before churning, as too warm cream willproduce too soft butter. Butter. no matter how nice the grain when churned. can be spoiled by overworkinq. and espe- cially in a warm room. To make’ nlee butter I churn at 58° to 62°, wash water 5:0 to 58°, salt and let stand for awhile, and U work, keeping the temperature of room at 58° to'60°. -At’;bending to temperature is, I consider, the b9st. way to make a uniform article. As to keeping quality, I know nothing about it, as I want to make butter so good it will not need to be kept, but consider a really fine article will have the best keep- inquuality. An attractive appearance is very important. Not only does it please the eye, but we are wont to associate tidiness with cleanliness all the way through. I! placed in tubs, they should be neat and clean outside. It wrapped in butter papers (pound prints), pains should be taken to have the paper tight and ends falded neatly.

Then by pulling on the bar shown near the bottom of the pole the load is swung over the stack and dropped Where it is wanted. The rake slides on the ground. A good horse with a smart boy on his back is hitched at each end. They drive along the swath and push or pull the hay into hunches at the side of the stack, ” says The Rural New Yorker. D an». ouu g...â€" ._-..._.V_ , In the article alluded to Mr. Jami- son advises in part as follows: As clover hay in stacks or ricks, to be kept from spoiling, must be covered with some other material, the stacks should be as large as possible. or the cost of the covering will approximate in cost the value of the bay. The risk in allowing the bay to cure in the cock makes it necessary to put in the rick from swath or windrow, or, if from the cock, before it has thoroughly settled. v -__, By the use of a derrick, with arm swinging 85 feet high, a haysling in- stead of horse fork and the hay brought to the rick with a large rake, it can be put up very rapidly. This plan will save the cocking, but it should be drier to put in rick from the swath than if put in cock. The material for the der- rick illustrated is as follows: If the pole can be secured in the nearby woods, only the labor in securing it stands against it. The base is 8 feet square, built on runners; frame, 10: feet high. The pole for sling use should 1 be 30 feet long; long boom, 17 feet; short end, 4 feet: long end, 13 feet; short brace, 7 feet long; brace, 14 feet. Top of frame should be 5 feet square. The whole should be bolted together, so that it can be taken to pieces and stored in shelter when not in use. If built to use a sling, the long end of the arm should be 35 feet high. The long rake shown is 18 feet long, with 12 teeth 6 feet long. The head- piece is 2 by 8 inch hard pine. The teeth are heart hickory, 135 by 3 inches and 6 feet long. The teeth should he set in the headpiece: an inch in front and one-half an inch at back and the teeth sloped for about a foot back from the point on the lower side. Set in headpiece as directed. This will cause them to follow the ground close- ly. Over the teeth where set in the headpiece should be placed a plank 1 by 8 inch by 18 feet and bolted through teeth, plank and headpiece. The teeth should not be set too rigid. as they will work 'better with some play. The rake should have three stand- ards in the headpiece about ‘3 feet high. A bolt is put through each end of the headpiece. Two small holes are ____â€"_' HANDLING CLOVER HAY.

As the hay crop of the New England states promises not to be large this sed- son. the following by an American Cul- tivator correspondent is quite apropos: “As there are many fields of grass that will not ‘make prime timothy hay. it is a question sometimes what to do with it.- If there are indications of a good market. it will pay to give as much attention to curing this hay as the best timothy. for the grades ap- proximating prime timothy sell only for a few cents a hundredweight less. A good deal of the final valuation of this hay will depend upon the cutting. curing and packing for market. This more often determines the selling price of hay than the actual condition of the grass before cutting. But if the hay is indifferent and bad in the field it will pay best to use the land for something else. Arun down hayfield is of little real value in these days of competition.
