GOOD ROADS SOON If
Each State Spends 100000 For the
improvement of Highways.

Each State Spends 100000 For the
improvement of Highways.
Between half a billion and billion
dollars would be saved annually In the
United States If every state would I'M
prove its main highways to the highest
point Of efficiency.
Calculations just made by the Unit
ed States Office of public roads show
that to effect this enormous saving
throughout the country it will be nee
essary to improve only about 20 per
cent of the roads.
There are now about 2.150.000 miles
Of road In the United States. Two
hundred thousand miles, or about 8
per cent, are improved in some man
ner. To bring the number of miles up
TO 20 per cent 1t win be necessary to
improve $4,000 more miles. While
this task may seem stupendous, it is
estimated that it can be accomplished
by a probable average expenditure of
$1,000 a mile, or $1,T50.0oo,O00 for a
fairly complete system. Were each
state to put S4,000,000 into the Inn
provement of its roads the work could
be accomplished in a very short time.

corroNsERD MEAL AGAIN

EDITOR CENsOR:-A few weeks ago,
in an article in your columns, | stated
that this meal kills pigs and calves. The
article read to the contrary. | hope
none have fed this meal to hogs. IT
any are doing it, stop it. They will
die in a month. We went through
Gainesville, Texas, one evening, and a
gentleman came on board and said:
There are ten thousand cattle being
fattened in a pen along side the track
here. Heretofore they have fed cattle
cottonseed meal and hulls and nothing
else, and the cattle have all gone blind
in ninety days. This year 20 round
silos have been filled with cut sorghum
and this win be fed with the meal and
bulls. They hope the keep the cattle
longer without their going blind.
Farm, Stock and Home, has recent
article on cost of protein in different
foo Is. At $50 per ton. the car-lot price
of cottonseed meal, the protein costs a
cents per pound; in linseed meal nearly
z cents: corn fodder at five dollars a
ton, 10 cents; bran 10 cents; oats IL
cents; corn meal nearly IA cents; and
timothy hay at Sis ton, rs cents.
Alfalfa hay at SIC gives protein at z
cents.
The manurial value Of cottonseed
meal is the highest Of any vegetable
feed. Here is a hint for the tobacco
raiser. IL he will feed this meal and
use a pint of rock phosphate every day
in the manure Of each COW or steer he
will double the value of the manure.
am feeding from two to three or
more poVpds of eottonseed meal every
morning on ensilage, to each COW. They
eat much less hay since have fed it.
Grain Is cheaper than hay this year,
and may be short Of hay. Horses cat
the meal well and | may give small
handful 20 the calves, but will be very
careful, They fed the calves handful
daily on the 4. d. Beck farm, without
injury. aud may b.we can do the same
thing safely Meanwhile, the cotton
seed meal is going out Of town every
dey and second carload has been or
deTed. Five hundred creamery patrons
ought TO feed 500 tons of it You don't
get anything out of the bank unless you
put something in it, and II is so with

trial at Columbia mo.-Fhty Farm
ers Attend First Day.
At Columbia, Mo, p S. Quinn, high
way engineer of Boone county. has or
ganized class in road building. AT
the first meeting of the class more
than fifty farmers, all dressed In their
working clothes, assembled in the cir
cult court room in the county court
house and sat in a semicircle around
the judges desk. On the bench was
Mr.. Quinn, acting as professor in the
new branch of school instruction. The
pupils We're the newly elected road
overseers.
"Roone county is going to have bet
ter roads in the future" was Mr..
Quinn's first announcement, land If
you men are to be responsible for the
condition of these roads then you must
know something about road building
yourselves. That's why I have organ
lied this class. and If you show your
selves apt pupils there should be no
more complaint about the condition of
the highways here"
Quinn believes that such school is
necessary if the county is to have
good roads. Much of the time of the
first session of the class was devoted
to acquainting the overseers with the
provisions of the road laws Prompt
ness" was the keynote of his instruc-
tons.
Ditch your roads right away" he
said. Remove everything from the
roads and bitches in spite of what the
landowners say; also make the land
owners keep their hedges trimmed"
He made it plain to the overseers
that they had authority and that he
wanted them to make use Of It, The
men were interested too. Some of
them had had trouble with the land.
owners, and they wanted to know
what to do.
"Tell me how to make a single man
work on the roads," one suggested.
make him do It; make him do it."
| Quinn replied. Its like getting blood
from turnip, but make him do it."
what would you do when you get
your roads in good condition and all Of
your neighbors travel on 1t in prefer
ence to some other and cut 1t all to
pieces?' was the question of another.
"How can you make the rich man do
any work." came from a third man.
Hundreds of similar questions were
discussed by the overseers and Quinn.
all with view Of solving the question
of how to improve the country roads.
There were instructions as to the use
Of teams and when to do the work.
Other sessions of the class In road
| building have been held since the first

lmnortanes Of Good Roads.

The salvation and uplift OF rural
America depend more upon the build
ing of good roads than upon any one
other thing. The farmer and the peo-
pie of the small towns and villages do
not understand this now, wherefore
they need to be educated to the fact
that money spent for GOOD rN"Hs is not
money thrown away. where.-a money
spent for -nakeshift improvements is
worse than thrown away. They must
be taught that good roads are not .
luxury. but a necessity, and that the
cost Of their building is not extrava-
gance begotten OF the automobile, but
simply wise investment, on the part
Of every community everywhere, with
out regard to what sort of vehicle Is
favored by those who travel over the
roads.--Motor Print.

The average advance on many farm
products is twenty-five per cent. over
about Q year ago, and yet some people
charge the high cost of living to the
tariff. Good times and high prices
always go together. Ten cent corn and
fifty cent wheat mean low wages and
idleness. The observing man has known
this condition for decades.
