ROADS AT ST. LOUIS.
Fres1dent of Exposition Outlines
Plans for Exhibits and n Great
international Convention.

President D. R. Francis, of the St
Louis Exposition committee, is an en-
thusiastic advocate CT improving the
common roads of the country. He is
planning to give good roads a prom
iAent feature of the exposition. In a
recent interview he said:
1T is the desire of. the MANAGEMENT
to discover the best material from
which roads can be made. We shall
permit these il crested in different

-iElcrent designers Of plans for country
r2SGs to display their materials and
D.ans in order that The people OF all sec
tons may determine which are the best
materials and methods for making high
ways.
We hope, also, by having great in
teTIl@lonal Sood roads convention in
connection with the exposition to in
crease the iaterest which is felt in this
country and throughout the world in
nc mailing OF good roads. Anyone who
- been in countries where there are
GLoa roads Knows how much easier life
is there. | can remember when l was

FALL CARE OF COWS.
"neA Pastures Are Getting Bare II
xoys to Haul q Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding of dairy cows two sea-
sons are recognized by the average
oairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season. In
tne former case the animals are entire-
~ dependent upon what grain and fod-
Ger are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. The
very opposite OF this is true during the
summer season, the animals being ex-
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes falling off in the
milk supply This is particularly true
IN the fall when the animals are left to
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold The fact is lost sight of
that dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account cam
not withstand the hardships which the
beef animal can bear.
1t is an exceedingly good plan to al
low COWS to have shelter at night after
the first Of October. If thev are put

the days remain warm they are just

no food better adapted for milI- pro-

should endeavor to extend the grazing
season just as long as possible If pas
lures are getting little bare. it will
generally pay to haul little fodder to

Poor Cream Closed E.,.o-

Poor cream caused the closing of a
new creamery in Minnesota recently
The buildings had been erected and
equipped at considerable expense and
everything was tirst-class. A larpe
supply Of cream was received, but tho
cream itself was very poor. The
farmers said they had too much wor,,
to do to bring their cream in more
than once wee... and the consequence
was that the cream received was of ex
cepttonally poor quality. The butter
made was OF course correspondence
poor and the money received for it was
not sufficient to pay expenses and weld
