Freaks Of Storm Cause Much
Damage In Day County

Bristol, May "a cyclone pass
ed across Day county last week and
did considerable damage to farm
buildings.
Ole Tinquist, who resides six miles
south Of Bristol. was the heaviest
loser. His large barn 3Ox6O feet in
size, was literally torn to pieces, and
all the small buildings about the
farm were destroyed. His loss is
reported to be nearly $1,000.
The Norwegian Lutheran church
in Valley township was carried about
a rod from its foundation, but the
building was not injured to any ex-
tent.
At the John: Hassinger farm the
cyclone twisted the windmill tower
of at the ground. moved his barn
from its foundation, and demolished
his smoke house.
F. w. Harms reports that the
storm performed a queer stunt at
his place. 1t tore the east side
the side opposite from which the
storm approximation the barn,

damaged.
MANY other farmers report losses,
and the damage done will amount
to several thousand dollars.

GOOD ROADS
OF MUCH GOOD?
Movement Slowly Growing to
Improve the Highways

Minneapolis Journal:-Hennepin
countv's roads leading from all cor
ners of the county converge in Min
neapolis. connecting with the city
limits with municipal highways lead
ing to the center of the city. All
the principal avenues of Minneapol-
is have extensions into the rural sec
tons Of the county and these extern
sions are the main Travelled roads
which will feel the first benefits
from the million dollar good roads
fund authorized by the legislature.
The county commissioners have
not designated the highways upon
which to begin the work of perman-
ent road building, but there are
twelve or fourteen roads that might
be called main trunk roads and of
these the county commissioners will
select from three to five upon which
to conduct their work this year.
They will spend at least 500, 900 and
il the first work is nicely started and
proves satisfactory to the general
public another 800, 900 will be used,
as the plan is to expent 5000. 900 an
nually for five years.
Sioux Fall Argus:-It is hard to
interest the farmers in the question
Of good roads, because they figure
that it is a movement begun in the
interest Of the city chaps who run
autos, The fact is that there is no
class of men in the country who are
more directly interested in a finan-
cial way in good roads than are the
farmers who have to haul their crops
by wagon to market.
1t is figured BY the department of
agriculture that it costs So million
dollars more to haul crops to market
over bad roads in the United States
than it does to haul the same ton
age to market over the improved
roads Of France. 1t costs in this
country 26 cents a mile for wagon
transportation, while it only costs
Is cents a mile in France.
It seems odd that farmers who are
constantly pressing for cheaper
transportation over the railroads,
should utterly ignore the big item of
wagon transportation over country
roads. II the roads are put and
kept in good condition. bigger loads
can be hauled and better time can
be made. This means a smaller cost
for transportation to the railroad
station. The trouble is that the
American farmer has become accus-
toned to bad roads and he has got
to think that these bad roads are
necessary, when the fact that a COM
p~aratively small expenditure would
put the roads in good condition and
make 1t possible to save millions of
dollars each year in bigger loads,
decreased breakage, and saving of
time.

FEEpINe CORN FODDER.

Corn fodder is essentially q fall and win
ter feed. Stock OF all kinds begin to tire
Of 1t along toward spring. This may pc
because 1t Is made a too exclusive feed
during the winter months.
Since the blades of fodder are the nacst
palatable part, 1t should be so handled
and stored that these will not be broken
off or spoiled. The handling should be
done In damp weather when the blades are
tough and there is little breaking. The
fodder should be placed in good mangers
or racks where 1t can not easily be pulled
out and trampled under foot. Horses, cat
tie and sheep will eat a large part of each
stalk if the fodder is clean, well cured,
and presented to them in clean recep-
tacles.
One reason why animals tire OF fodder Is
that it is fed by itself for SO long a time.
II 1t were alternated or supplemented with
other rough feeds the animals would rel
ish 1t for a longer period. Unless cut at
just the right time and cured perfectly,
fodder. is not a very nourishing feed, yet
it is a good rough feed for winter and can
be used to good account for several
months to save better feeds for
more needy times. Do not try to feed the
entire crop to one class OF stock, but give
them all a chance at it. Save all the rough
stalks and use them for bedding. They are
difficult to pitch in the manure, yet the
are good absorbents Of liquids and soon
decompose into humus when applied to the
land.
