ARE STEEL ROADS PRAcTlcABLEl
Doubts as To Their Utility To the Farmer
Difficulties OF the Plan.

Difficulties OF the Plan.
An experiment in road reform is TO
be tried in Ohio which Will be watched
with interest by the entire country. The
electric roads in the cities Of two coun-
ties are to be extended into the sur
rounding country and the tracks so con-
structed that horse vehicles can run on
them The farmers of those counties
will thus have the benefit Of steel roads
instead of dirt roads The theoretical
gain will be enormous, for, according to
a European writer who has investigated
the subject, horse can draw just ten
times as much over steel track as
over an ordinary road. The ordinary
European road be it remembered, is con-
siderably better than the ordinary Amer
lean road. Whether the actual gain will
be as great as this, or indeed anything
at all, is another question.
If the electric roads are employed TO
carry freight as well as passengers, and
that seems to bo part of the plan, the
road will be moderately well filled with
electric cars. The horse will be contin-
ually compelled TO turn out for the moro
swiftly moving cars and will not get
much benefit from the track. Then too,
an electric road which is blocked with
horse vehicles will be less advantageous
70 the promoters, and if the enterprise
should prove successful in the vicinity
Of large towns 1t would hardly be prac-
ticable in purely rural districts, for it
could not be profitable to eXtend electric
roads 90 or 100 miles into the country
These are some If the difficulties in the
way Of the success OF the proposed plan
In spite Of them it may succeed, and it
will at least be advantageous to the rest
Of the country to have Ohio experiment
with the steel roads in rural districts -

Try, say, that for growing animals corn

From 'luai"ll analysis Of foods u
mlXturo II corn and wheat should prove
a better ration for fattoning animals
than either grain alone. When wheat
and corn are the same price, he says il
pays better 10 feed the wheat and sell
the corn. Wheat weights per cent
heavier than corn When it is fed alone,
it is just as good for fattcning animals
as corn fed alone, and il is better for
growing animals, and the manurial
value Of wheat j. much greater than
that Of corn.
When you begin 10 feed wheat, how
quantities, gradually increasing. Fed
in large quantity suddenly, it will pro-
duce indigestion. Mix it with other

The circular Of information issued by
the bureau Of animal industry gives sew

grains which are recommended for feed

Salmon says i'm additions

From the Canadian experiments it
would appear that the feeding value Of
an equal weight of wheat is slightly in
excess Of that of corn The South Dako-

years old and almost as handsome as he
was when he was young He is clean

A Morgan mare is the incarnation Of

are particularly potent in stamping
their characteristics on their progeny,
whatever the blood Of the sire may be.
For this reason they are among the
most valuable known to cross with sires
