There is no reason why this can't
be done. Small grain is generally
abundant which is far superior TO the

addition OF a little timothy is but IA

WASTE FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS.

The Kansas City Times says: The
repor, of the only government inves-
tigati0n ever made into the cost of
haulagt over wagon roads III this
country shows that the average cost
IS 2t.h cents per ton per mile, rang
ing from b cents in the eastern states
to - cents in the Pacific states. In
England and Frace, where first class
roads are constructed and constantly
maintained, the cost is reduced to 10
cents per ton per mile. The cost of
hauling by horses in the United
states is more than 900 million dol
lars per year, at least half Of which,
could be saved by a complete system
OF internal roads Of the first class.
Against the enormous waste Incl
dent to bad roads, the cost of con-
strur'ing good roads should be con-
sidered only incidentally, for this
cost may he distributed over num-
Der OF years. Or, even if paid at
once, it would soon be absorbed by
tie added profits accruing FROM gooi
roads. Since the foundation Of "A
good highway is practically indestruc-
tible. the long run calculation should
be mainly as the cost OF maintenance.
and this cost is SO low, as compared
with the value of good roads that it
is a negligible factor.

In localities where pure bred live

term thoroughbred" applied to differ.
ent breeds of live stock. They say
that they have for sale thorough
bred Hereford bull or a thoroughbred
ClydesdalG horse. This word has re-
ceived great deal Of space in nearly
all Of our agricultural papers. There
is only one breed of animals properly
called thoroughbreds aud that is the
English running horse. The term
thoroughbred" does not apply in any
way to any of the other breeds of
live stock. A bull is either Here.
ford CT a horse is either Clydesdale
or they are not. and no explanation is
necessary to denote that their ances-
tors are pure bred. If their pedigrees
are not pure they are not HerefOrds
or Clydesdales. but grade Herefords
or grade Clydesdales. If their pedi-
grees are pure it is customary to call
them pure bred or to say that they
are pure bred animals
The serious objection to the use Of
the word thoroughbred" III this con

used in connection with any of our
