HOW TO PAY FOR GOOD ROADS.
n. n. Gross, Secretary of Good Roads
League, Makes Suggestions.

The one great thing needed in road
building is to prevent a waste of
money and make every dollar count
for all it will The general plan that
prevails in the middle west, except in
two or three states, is to each year
levy tax sufficient to build say half
a mile of road and do this from year
to year. To get good roads upon the
main highways would require % to
40 years. 1t costs 20 per cent. at
least more to build short stretches of
roads than it does to build ten to
twenty miles at time If this is
done the people have the use of the
roads at once and pay for them in in
stallments instead of building them
piecemeal
Roads are permanent improvements
and should be built by a bond issue
and thus put the paying over a pc
riod of ten to twenty years. That
means interest has to be paid, but it
also means the people have the roads
to use. If the use of the roads is not
worth more than the interest on the
bonds it would not pay to build the
roads at all.
To get good roads cheaply for the
farmers get a state aid law so every.
body will have to pay road taxes;
then issue bonds and build the largest
mileage possible. Under state aid an
experienced engineer watches the con.
struction of the road and with a big
job to be doone competition is very
sharp and prices are usually low in
such cases. With this plan of build
ing and with state aid the tax on
farms is about half what it other
wise would be.

Raising the heifer calves Of good
high-producing cows, is a great funda-
mental requisite for the best and
easiest Improvement of the dairy
herd. But those calves will take their
qualities from both parents, and 1t is
equally important that the calf shall
have good parentage on the male side.
An inspection of dairy herds will
show that many times comparatively
little attention is paid to the quality
of the sire. In a recent visit to the
dairy region of northern Illinois, the
writer noted six herds in which the
heifer calves were raised for future
were miserable little scrubs, veritable
runts and weaklings, obtained by sim
ply saving a grade calf from a poor
herd. OF many other sires fairly good
as individuals, nothing is known of the
actual milk production of their female
ancestors.
With herd of 40 cows, as here IL.
Illustrated, each COW represents one.
eightieth of the future herd each year,
AID the whole number of 40 cows rep
resent forty eightieths of the herd, and
the good well-bred sire represents one
half or forty-eightieths of all the quail
ity and qualities, character and char
acteristics, the capacity for milk pro-
duction, and everything else, transmit
ted to the calves which are to consti-
tute the succeeding herd.
fine dairy sire can be bought for
$3.50, and with 40 grade COWS at $50
per head, the herd comes to $4,000
The bull costs only one-seventeenth of
the investment, yet he will improve
the future herd as much as the other
siXteen-seventeenths. The extra 500
put into a good sire is the best invest
ment in the herd.
Forty-one animals are purchased;
one animal will influence the future
herd as much as the other 40. 1t is
worth while, then, to give much extra
time and study to the selection of that
one, the sire.
From generation to generation the
succession of well-selected sires goes
on increasing and intensifying the i'm
provement of the herd In this way
the sire becomes three-fourths. seven
eighths, tifteen-siXteenths, etc, of the
herd In fact in a few years the sire
is practically the whole thing"
So the sire may be much more than
half the herd whether judged by the
quantity, strength, quality or accumu-
lated effect of the characteristics he
transmits. 1t is literally true that the
sire may thus, within a few years, at
slight expense, completely transform a
dairy herd and double its profit.
Every man who has had any ex-
tended experience or observation in
the use of a good pure-bred sire from
producing dams at the head of a
dairy herd, will agree that this sire
was of peculiar value and great econ
omy in building up the herd. The rec
ords of dairy breeding have proved
it conclusively a thousand times over
No man who studies the facts can
doubt it, The evidence is to be seen
in the heifers of every such sire. and
in their contrast with heifers lacking
such parentage

ter milk producers with their first
calves than are the average mature
cows we can buy" Several of our
most progressive dairymen have said
practically the same thing.
Yet in the face of all this, hundreds
of dairymen make no effort to save
their best heifer calves, and they
think they have reason. They say
1t takes too much milk. This question
was carefully Investigated with 4S
calves by the Illinois experiment sta
ton Twelve calves at a time were
tested at four different times. 1t was
found they could be successfully raised
on $50 pounds of whole milk and 400
pounds of skimmilk. This milk was
fed at the rate of ten pounds per day
until the calves were so days old,
when it was gradually lessened one
pound per day for ten days and then
no more was fed. No substitutes for
milk were used Only ordinary grains
which the farmer produces, and a
good quality of legume hay were fed.
showing that the dairyman can raise
calf in this way with almost no ex-
ira trouble. Several of these calves
are now COWS in milk and good pro-
ducers. indicating that they were not
injured by this method of raising.
The sale value of the milk fed these
calves was as follows:
$50 10, whole milk a 81 per lOO........a.6o
400 10 skim milk a 5000 per 100 ..... 10
And these prices of milk are liberal.
especially as they are paid at the farm,
and no money or labor is expended In
hauling the milk TO market. 1t is not
so expensive to raise calf as the
daiIymen have thought The grain
and hay consumed by the heifers OF
high quality will give much better re-
turns than the same feed fed to cowA

this was impossible, owing to an
