ly In other ways. The opinion OF the

dications were that 1t would pass the

question under consideration.
Hardly had the Plymouth county
solon finished than Smith OF Mitchell
moved to lay the bill on the table. 1t

tion, but Smith having the floor, beat
him to 1t and he moved to reconsid-
er and lay the reconsideration on the

Cost OF Raising Stock.

The cost of raising calves and pigs
from birth to maturity is discussed
briefly by the Office of experiment sta
tion, In Farmers Bulletin No. 202,
along with a number of other short
government farm experiments.
Some dozen instances are recorded of
raising animals along the varied lines
advocated by different growers. of
which accurate account has been kept.
At the Storrs Connecticut station)
eight calves gained on an average of
I.31 pounds per day. On the basis of
the recorded data OF various tents the
estimated cost of raising a calf until
two years old Is $500, with the pre-
vailing prices of feeding stuff in Con-
necticut.
In some extensive experiments with
pig feeding It was calculated that on
an average It took Att pounds OF di.
gestible nutrient at cost OF 3.12
cents to produce a pound of gain with
pigs from birth to maturity.

The mixing OF sand and clay az a
form OF road construction has receiy-
ed careful study and is of great i'm.
portance. especially TO the Atlantic
and Gulf states. where throughout
large areas sand and clay are prac-
tically the only materials available for
road building.
II may safely be said that the con-
struotion of sand-clay roads had pass
ed the experimental stage. IL has
been proved that they are well adapt
ed for light traffic, and are less noisy.
less dusty. and more resilient than
the average macadam road. Even un-
der heavy traffic they have proved to
a great extent satisfactory. There
are sand-clay roads in the South At.
lantic and Gulf states over which
heavy loads OF cotton and other farm
products are hauled throughout the
year with but little resulting dam
