For you to smear on bread.

ROADS FOR MIDDLE WEST.
Principle Of National Aid Has Many
Friends in Illinois and Neigh
boring States.

In many parts Of the middle west there
Is as great need Of road Improvement as
anywhere else In the world, and It is no
wonder that the people of this section
have gone into the good roads move
ment with enthusiasm.
A state good roads convention has
just beer held ,t Springfield, ILL.,, and,
although 1t Is the busy season with the
farmers, there was an attendance OF
about 200 delegates besides many Wis
itors. Senator Latimer, of South Caro-
lima, was the principal speaker, and he
delivered an able and eloquent address
Naturally he devoted considerable at
tention to the principle of national aid
as embodied in the bills introduced into
congress by himself and Col Brownlow,
OF Tennessee. The senator is strongly
Of the opinion that the government
should contribute some of its surplus
revenues to aid the states In building
good roads, and he has many cogent rea-
sons to offer In support Of that PROPOSE
ton. At the close of his address, Sena-
tor Latimer asked all present who
agreed with him to stand up, and all but
three or four sprang to their feet. There
was some opposition, however, led by
Prof. Baker, Of the State university, and
protracted discussion followed in
which the professor came off decidedly
second best.
One of the great obstacles to road i'm
provement in some parts of the Missis-
sippi valley is the scarcity of material
for building roads. In large portions of
Illinois, Iowa. Arkansas and several
other states, there is neither stone nor
gravel. All the material used in surfac-
ing hard roads has to be shipped in
which adds considerably to the expense.
But the bottomless mud roads of these
sections are such a burden that people
are willing to tax themselves heavily to
secure relief. II the national aid plan
should be adopted, the next few years
will see an enormous Improvement in
the roads of the middle west.
Where there is good local material
considerable progress has already been
made In Missouri there are hundreds
of miles of fine hard roads. The same
may be said OF Minnesota. In some To-
calities excellent roads have been built
Of mining Stag, Gravel is employed
where available. and In southern I'LL
nois deposits of novaculite are drawn
upon and some very fine roads have been
constructed from this material. On the
whole, however. it must be said that
only beginning has been made, and the
agricultural industries of this section
are greatly hampered by the expense
and difficulty of getting farm products
to market.

Grain for Cows on Pasture.

1t will pay to feed some grain to the
cows on pasture unless conditions are
exceptional. The amount fed in the
winter should be cut In half in the
summer, except In the dryest months.
when the grain ration may be tenn
porarily Increased. Some of the best
dairymen in the country are doing
this, though they are not getting their
money back for it in the summer time.
But their cows go into winter with
more vigor and are healthier as a rule
for the good summer treatment they
have received. 1t Is simply one way
of investing money for the future, Its
results are not seen so much In the
milk pail as experienced in various

born later and In the ability of the
mother to make the most of the food
that is given her in the winter.-Farm-

In tepid water and will not absorb mois-

they absorb water readily. Nurserymeu

the cutting, yet many men consider
only the weight obtained, regardless
of the amount of nutriment It contains.
There is little profit in feeding saw
dust to cow, whether 1t comes from
a sawmill or a field full Of ripe grass,
but because the hay does not show
it's poverty as milk producer, many
men keep on feeding the cow good,

wonder that there are no returns in

The motion is that of a walking beam.
First the weight draws up the bucket.
Water running into the bucket fills 1t,
and It's weight carries 1t down, lifting
the weighted end. When 1t strikes the
ground, the valve is forced up, letting
the water out. Relieved Of its weight,
the bucket rises, only to fill and descend
again.
The valve in the cut shows the loose

a Merino. This sheep came from
the native sheep of Spain. They are
noted for their large quantity of fine
delaine wool. The mutton of this
sheep is very good, but not so good
as that of some the special mutton
breeds. These sheep are heavily
covered with a fine fleece, excepting
on the ears, nose and feet, slightly
dark on account of the wool being
so oily and dusty. These sheep are
of a good size and well proportion
ed. Their necks are well fitted to
their bodies. They have a soft skin,
a neat head with clear eyes and a
white face. The ewes shear from
seventeen to twenty-three pounds of
wool and the rams from twenty to
thirty pounds each. Of this bunch
there were twenty-three. Four of the
two-year-old ewes, last year sheared

of wool. These four took the first
prize here last year, and the first
this year.. At the last New York
State Fair eight of this herd in COM
petition with three other herds, took
six first, three second, two third
prizes and two championships; and
at our last Fair this herd took all
the prizes given on sheep of this
class.
We believe, from the number of
animals exhibited and the interest
taken in these by the people, that
live stock raising will soon become
a profitable and popular vocation to
the farmers of our State.
