BEEF-PRODUcING FOODS.
Important Conclusions Reached By
Prof. Mumford Of the Illinois
Experiment station.

Having already referred to an I'm
portant cattle feeding experiment re-
Gently conducted at the Illinois station
by Prof. H. W. Mumford. we present
some OF the chief conclusions reached,
taken from bulletin No. SO:
l. This experiment indicates that corn
may be supplemented with clover hay, a
heterogeneous roughage, In such a way
that its influence will be practically as
beneficial as the experimenting Of corn
with a heterogeneous concentrate, such as
gluten meal.
2. That where clover hay OF some
other heterogeneous roughage is not avail
able for supplementing the corn crop
in fattening steers, q heterogeneous con-
eentrate like gluten meal is highly ad-
vantageous.
3. That neither the corn ration sup
plemented by the use Of a heterogeneous
roughage on the one hand nor Of a nj
trogenous concentrate on the other,
proved to be an ideal ration. II is be-
lieved that some judicious combination
Of the two yet to be determined will be
found more satisfactory and profitable
than either
4. A ration Of corn. timothy hay and
corn stover has little TO recommend It
for beef production. II is not favorable
for the production Of large, rapid or
economical gains; nor is the beef
produced by such a ration desirable. II
required Is pounds more grain and 4
pounds more roughage 10 produce each
pound Of grain where timothy hay sup
plemented corn than where clover hay
was used.

Bean strarr "a RntIon.

Whether bean straw is a fit food for
farm animals depends upon the degree
Of maturity reached by the plant when
harvested. In this It is like all forage
crops. Usually the vines are allowed to
become too ripe to make good feed, in
order that the beans will fall out easily.
II the vines are pulled before all the sap
and life have left them they make for
age similar to cowpea hay in character.
AS in other cases. the farmer wants to
eat his cake and have It, too. He wants
to catch 'em comm and gwine." With
corn and oats It is possible to cut before
maturity and have fairly good roughage
and ripened grain also. With white
beans it is not so easy, but discrimnat-
ing judgment applied at the critical mo-
msnt will doubtless be rewarded by a
crop Of beans and roughage more OF less
nutritious.-Rural World.

NOTES ON THE MULE.

A mule will pine away and die wher
rheumatism attacks his hind feet.
In kodaking a mule don't focus It's
rear, unless you have a wheelbarrow
escapement handy.
A mule is a vegetarian by nature and
training. and although he will kill he
will not eat his prey.
A mule never discriminates between a
tramp and a preacher. He is like the
rain-gets the drop on bad and good
alike.
A mule has one great advantage over
less favored creatures; he has no de-
scendants to leave a good name and
fame-so leaves neither.
A mule standing motionless with both
eyes half closed is not dreaming sweet
dreams. Scientists say he is either
thinking Of the man he kicked last or
the one he will kick first.-Rural World.

COST OF BAD ROADS.
IL IL without Any Doubt the Greatest
Money Loss Sustained by
American Farmers.

The waste of power and CONNER
cial loss occasioned by bad roads wa
torcefully put by Mr. c. A. Denham Il
an address delivered at the Kentuck
Commercial convention. He said: II
order to form some opinion Of tn
cost Of bad roads to community
and to the individuals Of that com
munity, let us assume some railroaI
station as a starting point for a mail
public highway which, for the pur
pose of illustration, We assume will
run through a good agricultural com
munity In some sections of our state
Let us further assume that the top
ography Of the section will give III
average grades. and the soil will aver
I age in fertility with the remaining
part Of the state The farmer on eacf
side Of such a highway for a distance
of, say. two and one-half miles would
probably come TO II to travel over
IL to the market, the railway station
at its terminus.
Let us further assume that main
highway is ten miles long and that II
therefore forms the outlet to market
for a section Of country five miles
broad by ten miles long, embracing
fifty square miles Of farming terri
tory; counting four farms to the
square mile, such territory would
embrace 200 farms OF 100 acres each.
The average distance Travelled by each
Of these farmers in going from home
TO the railroad station and return
would certainly not fall under 12l5
miles. An average OF two round trips
per day would give 25 miles as a days
journey. which is certainly more than
loaded team can perform over a bad
road. Let us further suppose that the
farmers OF this territory will produce
surplus for market, averaging each
farmer to have 100 bushels OF wheat,
so barrels OF corn, five tons OF hay,
and five tons OF miscellaneous prod
ucts. Counting that the average team
can draw over the average bad roads
a load OF 1000 pounds. we will find
that this territory will produce for
market 1,2OO wagon loads OF wheat.
1850 wagon loads OF corn. 1000 wagon
loads Of hay. 1000 wagon loads Of mis-
cellaneous products, making in all
1850 wagon loads. Then, II II is pos
sible to make two round trips per day
as an average for this territory, it will
require a driver with a span OF horses
and a wagon 2.475 days to move these
surplus products TO the railroad sta
ton. Counting the cost OF the driver,
wagon and team at $3.50 per day, the
cost OF transporting these products
will amount in the aggregate to
s6.1s715.
It is a well-known fact that a team
can draw twice as much freight over
a good road as the same team can
draw over bad road II this be true
and this same road should be made
into a good road with easy grades,
with smooth. hard surface, this same
work could be done for Just one-half,
or for S3.O9375. Just think OF III A
joint stock community paying out
more than $4,000 per year for the lux
ury Of bad roads; an annual tax on
each Of them of more than sl5. In
four years this annual tax would pay
for building ten miles Of good roads.

City hoy on a Farm.

A Missouri farmer hired a city boy
to help him around the farm during
the summer. One morning he told the
boy to 60 and salt the calf. The boy
took a quart Of salt and rubbed It all
over the calf. working It into the hair.
A lot Of colts scented the salt, and
hunted the calf up. They licked all
the hair of the calf's back. The farm
er tried to catch the calf to wash IT,
but the calf. thinking he wanted to
lick It. too. ran through a hole in the
fence and disappeared down the road.
The boy now stands up when he eats
his pie. Moral: Never be afraid to
ask questions
