GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands of Miles of Improvement
Arranged and More Will
Surely Follow.
From the passage of the federal
aid road act to December 15, 1918,
755 projects were approved by the
secretary of agriculture. These
projects Involve the Improvement of ,
7,807 miles of public roads at a totnl
estimated cost of $57,032,000, of which
the federal government hat been re
quested to contribute $21,002,000.
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects, involving u
total of fifty-one miles of road, cost
ing approximately $017,548, and on
which federal aid In the amount of
$200,000.10 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
7,500 miles of road, for which most
of the steps preliminary to construc
tion have been taken so far as the
burenu of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re
ported to tho department hnvo boon
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total of the road
work now in progress under federal
aid is greater than appears In this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North to the Pnclflc coast and down
to Mexico road building work Is go
ing on. EveYy state has accepted its
contribution from the government,
nnd wlrile no organized effort has
been niadq along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to tho system of national
highways.
Coupled with plans nlready out
lined for expenditures on the roads
is the legislative program now before
congress, which provides for $500,
000,000 to be expended over n period
of seven years by federal aid. It is
estimated that in the event of the
passnge of this bill, which would
Well-Drained Road.
make available Immediately $75,000,
000 for use in federal aid, It would
bo possible for the government and
the states to build 34,000 miles of
highways this year If labor could be
obtained.
VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Increased Supply of Fresb Vegetables
May Be Obtained By Applying
to Garden Soli.
The droppings from fowls, , if care
fully saved and applied to ilie gurden
soil, will increase the supply of fresh
vegetables, poultry manure Is rich in
nitrogen and Is well worth the effort
it requires to save and apply. Tho
droppings from an nverago farm flock
will amount to considerable fertility
during the year.
AUTO TAXES TO GO TO ROADS
Committee Appointed In Alabama to
Request License Fees Be Applied
to Highways.
The Birmingham (Ala.) Automobllo
club hns appointed a legislative com
mittee which is to appear before tho
state legislature with the request that
all automobllo license fees and taxes
be applied on the cost of improved
roads in the state. The" funds thus
diverted would amount to $1,500,000
annually.
Slow In Road. Building.
With ull her development, Amcrlcn
has always been slow In tho matter
,of road building.
Phosphorus Needed.
It Is now generally agreed by ex
periment station professors and prac
tical farmers In our eastern states
that the greatest fertilizer needed by
our soils Is phosphorus, and that tho
best method of supplying It is Jn tho
form of acid phosphate.
Great Need of Farmer.
If there is any one thing that tho
farmer needs moro than another, it
is good highways. Every other busi
ness Is on the line of progress, so
why not tbe road business?

OON'T FEED ROUGHAGE ALONE
Leguminous Hays, Such as Alfalfa,
Clover, Soy Bean or Cowpea Hay
Are Fvored.
(I'nuared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Tlif host kind of dry roughage to bo
fed to the dairy cow, In connection with
corn sihigo or roots, nre leguminous
hays, such ns alfalfa, red, crimson, or
alsllip clover and soy bean or cowpea
hay While corn silage Is an excellent
feed, it is not n balanced one, ns It
doo not contain xulllclcnt protein and
n.lneinl matter to meet, fully the re
qulreiiu'nts of the cow. The legumi
nous hays, In addition to being very
palatable, have a tendency to correct
this deficiency. They are also one of
tho best and cheapest sources of pro
tein. One or more of these hays can
be grown on any farm, nnd In addition
lo ihflr vnlue for feeding purposes,
they Improve the soil In which they
are grown. Hay from Canada field
peas, sown with oats to prevent tho
peas from lodging, nlso makes an ex
cellent roughage.
Corn stover, course hay, etc., also
find a good market through the dnlry
cow. This class of roughage Is low
In protein, however, and .when It Is
used the grain must be richer In pro
tein. "No positive rule can be laid down
as to the quantity of dry roughago
that should be fed, but about 0 to 12
pounds a day for each cow, In addition
t' slluge. will be found to be satisfac
tory In most cases. When the dry
roimlingt' Is of poor quality, such as
coarse, weedy hay or a poor grade of
corns. alks, a large portion can often
be given to advantage, allowing tho
cow to pick out tho best nnd using tho
rejected pnrt' for bedding. With this
quantity of dry roughage the cow will
take, according to her size, from 25 to
HO pounds of silage. This may be con
sidered nt. a guide for feeding to npply
when the roughage Is grown on tho
farm. When everything hns to be pur
chased. It Is often moro economical to
limit the quantity of roughage fed nnd
increase the grain ration.
While a cow's stomach Is large and
her whole digestive system Is especial
ly designed to utilize coarse feeds,
there Is u limit to tho bulk that she enn
take. This limit Is below the quantity
of roughago that It would require to

for maximum production ; that Is, u ra

and still be so bulky that she cannot,

FIRST-GRADE MILK 5
The live essentials for produc
tion of llrst-grade milk are:
(1) Healthy cows and men,
(2) clean cows and men, (3)
clean cans nnd palls, (4) covered
milking palls, (C) cooling milk
to 55 degrees Fahrenheit or
below within an hour after pro
duction and holding it ns low as
possible until delivered.
LACK OF ICE AT CREAMERIES
One Concern Turned Back to Farmers
42,700 Worth of Food Products
.Many Other Losses.
(From the Urma Stntes Department of
Agriculture.)
One large creuiH.ry wlilcli buys
about 350,000 gallons of sweet milk
and cream per year, returned to farm
ers last year nearly $2,700 worth of
these food products on nccount of lack
of proper- care which caused souring
cnurning unu oit unvors.
The recordsjof another plant show
that neurly 50,000 gallons of sour milk
were received In one year.
Insufficient cooling caused most of
these losses, which are duplicated
many times nil over tho country during
the heated season.
TREATING COWS FOR GARGET
Afflicted Animals Should Be Milked
Regularly Hands of Milker
Should Be Washed.
Cows that are subject to garget
should bo milked regularly and cleun.
In some cases It may bo advisable to
milk oftener than twtco a duy. Tho
hitnds of the milker should bo washed
after milking a cow that Is affected
with garget before milking another
cow, to prevent cnrrylng the germs.
Tho practice of milking out an af
fected cow on the ground Is a hud one
for the germs nre spread in this way
to other cows.
