Value of Good Roads.

Governor Warfield of Maryland has
during his administration stood firmly
for road improvement and is one of
the most ardent advocates of adopting
measures to carry on the work in his
state. The governor recently said:
"Good roads cost money, but they
are far less expensive to the public
than bad roads. The roads which the
state geological survey commission are
constructing cost no more than similar
roads north and south and will prove
a permanent investment for the people
of the state. 1t is far more econom-
ical in the long run to build highways
that require but a small amount Of
maintenance than to construct cheap
temporary structures that will con-
stantly require repair, to say nothing
of the comfort and pleasure to be de-
rived from smooth, dry roads"

SHORTHORN SPLENDOR.
Breeders Round Out a Great Year or
Both Sides of the Atlantic.

Breeders Round Out a Great Year on
Both Sides of the Atlantic.
A progressive policy is being pursued
by the American Shorthorn Breeders
association to procure the extension Of
the market for our Shorthorn cattle.
Last fall, it will be remembered, the
officers of the society undertook a per-
sonally conducted expectation of bulls
and heifers into Mexico, and, while
the financial results showed little or
no gain, a fine lot of cattle were sold
to influential breeders, whose example
in purchasing will doubtless be follow
ed by others.
During the trip it was borne in OH
the officials that if the Afort should
be followed up intelligently many more
Shorthorns could be sold south of the
Rio Grande, and to that end arrange
ments have been completed for the
proper representation of the trade. L.
Fillareal Madero, San Antonio, Tex,
has been appointed agent of the asso-
citation and has been conducting nego-
tiations with the Mexican officials.
1t is made plain that the officials of
the American Shorthorn association
made a most excellent move when they
invaded Mexico with lot of Short
horn cattle. They have secured the
active cooperation of the Mexican de-
partment OF agriculture and also Of
the various state departments, which
must in time succeed in opening up Il
fruitful demand for our cattle. 1t is
work of this kind that counts
At SmithfeId.
Shorthorn breeders have rounded out
a great year on both sides of the At
lantic. A calf of that breed was cham
pion at the International. and now the
returns from Smithfield bring news of

FEEDING For Milk.

We consider silage the most eco
nomical of all food stuffs as well as
the least trouble to feed. Bran we find
the most expensive, but this far along
anything to take the place of bran
seems to be in the experimental stage
in Indiana, and we find that to dis
pense with it even when the cows are
on pasture generally results in a loss
of butter Of more value than the cost
of the bran.
We began on Jan. last to keep ac-
count by weight of all the feed our
ten cows ate in seven days, with these
results: The average daily ration, fed
in two feeds, was forty pounds of 81
lage, five pounds of bran, five pounds
of clover hay and six pounds of corn
stover or all the stover they would
eat up clean. The bran was fed ac-
cording to quantity of milk, six pounds
being the most fed to any one COW.
The cost Of one weeks feed for all
was: Silage, $3.50; bran, $2.S5; clover
hay, $1.47; stover, AZ cents; total, 1924.

NEW POSTAL LAW.

The United States Postal De-
partment has made new regula-
tons in regard to,carrying second
class mail matter { such as news
papers, magazines, periodicals.
etc., the same going into effect
January I, 1908, and allowing
publishers to April I, 1908, 20
prepare their subscription lists in
accordance with the new order of
things. The effect OF the change
practically compels the establish
ment OF new relations between
the publisher and subscribers of
county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions entitled to the
second class postage rate shall
not be delinquent longer than the
following periods of time:
Dailies within three months.
Tri-weeklies within six months.
Semi : weeklies within nine
months.
Weeklies within one year
The mails are not forbidden to
subscribers who are in arrears S
longer than the time provided in
the new ruling, but these subscri-
bers placed in separate class
i6cation, requiring a higher rate
of postage the rate being so high
that publishers could not afford
to send papers at the price OF sub
scription.
The reason given by the gov
ernment tor making this order is
that second class mail matter is
being carried through the mails
at a rate OF postage thereon
which is less than the cost of car
rage.
The GAZETTE has heretofore
been liberal in giving to its SUBJ
scribers time to pay for their sub
scriptions, by paying 5000 per
year for those past due and 81. so
per annum when the same was
paid in advance. Having made
the difference in the past-due and
advance rate has resulted in Civ
Ding the GAZETTE larger portion
of paid up subscribers. This rule
must now be changed according
to Uncle Sans order, as the
newspaper has no voice In the
matter. The GAZETTE invites its
patrons to settle their dues soon.

It is asserted that one Of the princf-

it comes to building roads or paving

Much has lately been said in regard to

are changed competent officials should

quarry getting out stone, 40 cents;

course more money would make a still
better road, but the major part Of our
stone roads are made still cheaper than
this, being made of three loads of rub

Of $1,12O. There is not one farmer
that kicks on account of the cost Of
these roads. The kick is on the other

of them.
The north part of our township
(south Of RockforO is very sandy, and
I doubt If the road drag would do
any good there. Here the soil is diff
ferent, and the drag works all right.
I am not saying anything against the
use of the road drag, as think it
fine thing, but where stone and gravel
are plentiful say use them and make
a hard road that will be good at all
times of the year.

The Cattle Market.

Several things have happened that
could not be foreseen. The corn crop
did not mature and had to be fed, the
panic cut the consumption of beef
squarely in two, and the price of hides
took a grand tumble. Result, very bad
rattle market, totally unlike what
might have been anticipated early last
fall Then. however, we suggested
that late winter markets would prob
ably prove best because of the early
cleanup of stock on account of high
corn. And 1t seems that this is very
likely to be true. Cattle have been
selling entirely too low because people
have sold them regardless of price or
condition, and this sacrifice will be
felt later on. There has been nothing
to induce people to feed cattle, but
much to discourage them, and If con-
sumption Of beef returns to its normal
volume 1t Is likely to do SO at time

had Of late, remarks the National Stock

LESSONS ON ROAD BUILDING.
Campaign of Education Begins In
Louisiana,


At a meeting of the parish superin-
tendents of education held about a
year ago at Baton Rouge, La, the SEN
timent was in favor of consolidating
several of the small rural schools into
one large one.
A meeting of the superintendent
was held Dec. IA, 1907, at which the
subject of road improvement was ear
nestly discussed. The result of the
discussion was the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution, says the Good Roads
Magazine: ~
Recognizing the improvement of
our schools depends upon the building
and maintenance of good roads and
further recognizing that it is the func-
ton Of the public school to promote the
social well being Of its people, it is the
sense of this conference that those
who are directly responsible for the
management of our schools should give
more serious attention to the problem
Of road building, and in accordance with
this belief we recommend that the sub
ject receive more prominent considera-
ton in our institutes, Teachers asso-
citation and School Improvement asso-
citation. that our schools regularly of
fer to their students carefully arrang-
ed series of lessons on the subject and
that superintendent and teachers def
nitely undertake to create among the
people a livelier appreciation Of the
Importance of better highways and dis
seminate better understanding of the
improved methods of road construc-
ton"
