Cow Rations.

4 correspondent from Edgar Coun-
ty, Illinois, says that he has plenty
OF clover hay. corn meal. wheat bran
and middlings, and wants a daily
COW ration for his twelve cows. A
good daily ration feeding three times
day would be in quantity for each
COW, all the clover hay it will eat
up clean, and by weight equal parts
OF middlings and bran mixed with
two pounds of corn meal. feeding a
pound of this to each COW in the pro-
portion of a pound for three pounds
of milk each gives. 1t is always best
to apportion concentrates in proper
ton to the amount of milk, and there
fore different COWS require different
amounts of these concentrated feeds,
though each should have all the
clover hay it will eat.-Indiana

, ODD FACTS
ABOUT TURTLES.
paaaaeeaeaeoese aaaeaaeoeas

1t has been said that the turtle,
like the whale, has no other enemy
than man, inasmuch as both the little
creature and the big pursue their va
rious ways in practical immunity
from harm and the fear of sudden
death.
In many ways the turtle is one of
the strangest of living things. Whales
must come to the surface frequently
to breathe, and it is pretty well
known what they feed upon.
The seal cannot remain beneath
the sea nearly so long as the whale,
and his food is very we'll known, but
the turtle, in all his varieties, in all
his ways, is most mysterious ami
NAL. 1t does not, indeed, seem to
matter to him whether he stays be-
meath the surface for an hour or for
week, nor does it trouble him to
spend an equal time on land if the
need arises.
Your turtle is neither fish, flesh nor
fowl, yet his flesh partakes of the
characteristics of all three. Eating
seems a mere superiority with him,
since for weeks at time he may be
headed up in barrel, with the bung
out, and emerge, after his long fast,
forced abstinence from food, from
light and almost from air.
In the whole category of animal
organisms there is none so tenacious
of life as the turtle. Injuries that
would instantly be fatal even to fish
leave the turtle apparently undis-
turbed, and his power of staving off
death is nothing short of marvellous.
Just so soon as baby turtle
emerges from the egg off he scuttles
down to the sea. He has no one to
teach him, no one to guide him. In
his curious little brain there is i'm
planted a streak of caution based
upon the fact that until a certain Pc
Rod in his life his armor is soft and
no defense against hungry fish, and
he at once seeks shelter in the tropi-
cal profusion of the gulf-weed, which
holds within its branching fronds an
astonishing abundance of marine life.
Here the young turtle feeds unmo-
Tested while his armor undergoes the
hardening process.
Whatever the young sea turtle eats
and wherever he eats it-facts not
generally ascertained-one thing is
certain, it agrees with him immense
ly. He leads pleasant sort of life,
basking in the tropical sun and cruis-
ing leisurely in the cool depths.
Once he has attained the weight Of
twenty-five pounds, which usually &C.
ours within the first year, the turtle
is free from all danger. After that
no fish or mammal, however raven
Gus, however well armed with teeth,
interferes with the turtle
When once he has withdrawn his
head from its position of outlook into
the folds of his neck between the two
shells, intending devourers may
struggle in vain to make an impress
sion upon him. - From Harre-'s

Feeding For Butter Making.

i good English dairy authority says
thc to a small extent rich fatty foods
adj to the butter fat content of the
mix. but only by supplying material
wi ich the COW is ready to make
cream of, as COWS naturally giving
poor milk will lay this fat on their
backs. and it is probably useless to
try to make a bad COW give richer
milk. If it were not for this, it would
seem somewhat meaningless to de-
scribe certain foods as butter-produc-
ers or less suitable for butter making
than for milk-producing though the
foods are all useful for the latter
purpose also. Peas and rye, for in
stance, are apt to make the butter
hard, and so we find them classed as
third-rate butter foods in Denmark,
though both of them are useful as
milk foods.
Butter making is so we'll under
stood in Denmark that it is interest
ing TO see in what estimation differ
ent foods are held for this purpose.
Rape cake, oats, and wheat bran are
held in the highest estimation; cotton
cake, barley, and palm nut cake come
next. peas and rye ranking last. 1t
will be noticed that the best foods
are highly heterogeneous, excepting
rape cake, and not particularly rich
in fat, the second-class foods being
superior in this respect.
Richness of milk being, however,
dependent on the individual COW or
particular breed, the question may
well be asked whether it pays to use
these foods in any quantity for all
COWS alike in a milk herd. Those that
give the richest milk should have a

Repairs to Macadam.

Attention is called to the EXPERT
ments made by the Office of Plblic
Roads, wherein it was shown bv in
Simultaneous photography that the
damage to the roads was produced
by the rear or traction wheels of mo-
tor cars, and particularly at a speed
above twenty-five miles an hour. The
force with which they were propelled
was sufficient to cause a marked slim
upon the surface of the hard road
bed, such as is often seenrin an exag-
gerated manner on frozen surface.
The question is raised, Mr.. Rich
ardson states, as to the policy of con-
structing so large an extent of maca-
dam roads as has been done in the
last few years, and as is proposed for
the future, without considering a sur
face of bitumen, which, he says, at a
reasonable additional cost, may avoid
the existing conditions.
Several authorities are quoted as
to cost of repairs of macadam roads
under present conditions. A road
near Lynn, in Massachusetts, of al
most perfect macadam construction.
exposed to wind, sun and high-speed
automobiles, had to be resurfaced
after single years service. w. c.
Carpenter, County Surveyor in York
shire, Eng, reported at the Paris
Congress that the maintenance of
roads in his district was S4S2 rer
mile in 1890, and $3.50 il 1908. Mr..
Hooley. holding the same position in
Nottinghamshire, states that the
maintenance cost was formerly $3.50
per mile; now it is $3.50, and he ad-
vises resurfacing with bituminous
macadam.-GoodR Roads Magazine.
Recent Experiments in Road Making.
In Missouri the earth of about half
mile of road was taken out to a
depth of twenty to twenty-four
inches, and a width of twenty feet,
and was heaped beside the wide and
shallow trench thus made. A very
heavy steam roller then rolled the
bottom of this exposed soil founda-
ton until it was deemed to be as COM
pact as it could be made by this
means
A little at a time the earth which
had been taken from the roadway was
spread evenly over the bottom of the
trench, and rolled as thoroughly as
the foundation had been. This loose
earth was we'll sprinkled as the roklI
ing went on. In this way all the soil
that had been so removed from the
highway was returned and packed
down. Then soil was taken from the
sides of the roadway, put upon the
driveway and sprinkled and rolled as
thoroughly as the rest had been. By
the time the road had been built up
to the required grade ample bitches
had been made by so taking the soil
from the roadsides.
They who designed and executed
this work believe that this road will
shed water, and be hard and smooth
under traffic, if care be used to keep
its foundation we'll drained, and its
surface properly dressed by frequent
and timely use of the road drag.
The cost of making such road was
comparatively small.-Good Roads
