pense for road improvement, even II
such investment entailed an annual
$1,00O,0O0 to the community of cotton
states"
There are certain direct economic
or money advantages which follow the
improvement of public roads in every
I, community" says Acting Director Sar-
gent of the department in the bulletin.
''These advantages are probably most
| apparent in the reduced cost of haul
ing.
Certain dependent or reflex econom-
ic advantages also arise in commu-
| nifty where roads have been improved.
The increase in the value of farm
lands is an example of the indirect
| economic advantages Of improved road
conditions. 1t should not be consid-
cred, however. that in presenting the
advantages of improved roads the di'
| rect decrease in the cost of hauling
| and the increase in farm values are
| entirely separate and independent. The
farm increases In value partly because
the cost Of hauling is decreased.
Whatever methods are used to i'm
prove a road, the improvement fol-
hauling purposes is due to three causes
the betterment of the road surface
| the reduction Of the grade and the
shortening of the length. On such an
improved road the time required to
haul a given quantity of material a
| given distance is reduced. The reduc'
ton may be largely due to increased
speed Of hauling, to increased load OF
to both. 1t is important to recognize
that for transportation purposes reduc
ton Of time is equivalent to decrease
Of the distance from the market cen.
ters. 1t is easy to see, then. why the
increase of farm values must follow
improved roads. for their effect is to
bring the farms In sense nearer the
towns. The fact that on roads with
improved surfaces hauling becomes
largely independent Of the season OF
the year or weather conditions means
another very considerable reduction in
hauling costs. 1t also means that many
of the limitations of the number and
kind Of farm operations are immediate
ly removed"

WILL LOWER THE
COST OF LIVING
Great Economies Effected

BIG SAVING IN HAULAGE.

Sl,UuU,uUO year on Highways, Ac-
cording to Government Bulletin-Poor
Roads Cost Them Twice That.
Good roads are an important factor
in the reduction of the cost of living.
At least that is the theme of the latest
farmers bulletin of the department of
agriculture, which shows that the
benefit from improved highways does
not accrue only to automobilists, but
also to the farmer and the shipper of
produce of all kinds. For instance.
there are parts of the south. according
to the bulletin, in which the time re-
quired for hauling goods to market
has been reduced from twelve to two
days by the improvement of the high
ways and saving of So day in driv-
er's pay alone thus has been effected.
ton states of the south approximately
100000 annually in hauling charges,
according to the department. which
gives these figures to prove its conten-
ton:
"In the cotton states of the south
the average haul of cotton from the
farm to the shipping point is lis
miles. The average load is about 1.10O
pounds-a little more than three bales
and the average cost is so cents per
bale. The cost of marketing the 191 I
crop of 16.250276 bales was $13,0O0.

To each bale of cotton there is about
half a ton of cottonseed. which was
hauled from the farm to the gin. and
then a large percentage of it hauled
again to the shipping point. The aver.
age cost of hauling cottonseed in the
United States is So a ton. The 1911
seed crop therefore cost S24.375.4 .414 to
haul.
'The total cost of hauling the cotton
crop in 1911. including the seed. was
therefore S37,375,G34. Any system OF
road improvement throughout this zone
which would reduce the annual haul

saving of $1,S6S,7S1 a year. From
these figures it would appear that il

TESTING DAIRY cows.

Value of Milk Producer Can Be AS
eertained In No Other Way.
The dairy farmer who is not testing
his cows and who does not know what
they have done for him in actual dol,
lars and cents is guessing, and guesses
at the best are inaccurate.
The methods Of weighing, sampling
and testing the milk Of the individual
dairy herd has been explained time
and again, says the Kansas Farmer.
AS a matter Of fact it does require q
good deal of time to do this, state
ments to the contrary Notwithstanding.
However, the time expended in arriv-
ing at the relative merits of each COW
and of the herd as compared with 9th
er herds will well repay for the time
expended. 1t is absolutely impossible
for any man to guess at the profit of
the individual COW. All signs of eco
nomical milk production fail in the
case Of the dairy COW.
If a farmer does not feel disposed to
do this testing himself he can afford
to organize his neighbors with himself
into COW testing association. Under
the testing association plan 81 year
will pay for the testing Of each COW.
and this is money well expended. The
testing of dairy cows, viewed from
this standpoint, is inexpensive

animal lies down very carefully and
slowly, or makes attempts to lie down,
but sometimes may throw himself
recklessly on the ground. He may lie

During the onset of an attack of
