The Strawpile
FEEDING the Cow for Milk.

Prof c. Larsen Of the South Dakota
State College says that as long as a
COW Will return two pounds OF milk Tor
each pound increase IN the grain, the
additional grain is economically FED.
because the two pounds of milk are
worth more than the one pound OF
grain. With the average COW COW
should have about one pound OF grain
for each four pounds Of milk that she
gives Another good rule is TO feed as
many pounds of grain a day as COW
gives butter fat per week To make
use Of this latter rule il would be nee
essary to have a tester and test the
milk while 10 make use of the form
er rule a person could easily weigh the
milk. A dairy COW should have all the
rouehage she will eat. Good. sweet.
we'll cured and good roushage. S!lage
is. Of course, good roughage. 1t is a
succulent feed and keeps the dairy CO"
in good condition during the winter
months All farmers. however. do not
have Stage. Corn fodder is a good
feed. but is dry and large percentage
of i, is wasted, and il is unhandy TO
feed.
1t is bad mistake to permit dairy
COW TO run thru high snoNdrifts in the
corn-stal TX field when the thermometer
register below zero. 1t is much better
TO haul the corn fodder home and feeo
1t on the leeward or sunny side OF
barn in a clean place. or else teed the
fodder in the barn. Shred it and feed
It during the winter.
In addition. the dairyman should
not forget that the dairy COW should
at all times have free access to salt.
Many COWS are lost every fall which
might have been saved if they had had
plenty of salt before them.

Good Roads and Cost Of Living.

Good roads are an important factor
in the reduction of the cost of living AL
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 auron:ooilists. but
also 10 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-
CURED for hauling goods to market has
been reduced from twelve 10 two days
by the improvement of the highways
and a saving OF 50 a daN in drivers
pay alone thus. has been enected.
Really good roads would save the cot
ton states of the south approximately
$1,000 900 annually in hauling charges,
according to the department, wnlcn
gives these figures 10 prove its con-
teption:
in the cotton states of the south the
average haul OF cotton from the farm
to the shipping point is lis miles. Inc
average load is about 100 pounds
little more than three bales-and the
average cost is 80 cents per bale. The
cos, Of marketing the 1911 crop Of 49,
250.276 bales was &13.000.22o, II COM
puted on the above basis. 10 each
bale of cotton there is about half a ton
Of cotton seed. which was hauled from
the farm TO the gin. and then again
hauled 10 the shipping point The av-
erage cost Of hauling cotton seed in the
United States is SO ton. The 1911
crop. therefore, cost s24,375,4l4 to haul.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1913-04-24

senting the advantages OF Improved
roads the direct increase in the cost
OF hauling and the increase in farm
values are entirely separate and inde-
pendent. The farm increases in value
partly because the cost Of hauling Is
decreased.

Saving on Cotton.

1.-The total cost of hauling the cot
ton crop in 1911. including the seed,
was therefore. s31,373,034 Any sys-
tenn OF road Improvement turnout this
zone which would reduce the annual
hauling charge per cent would ef-
feet a saving of s1.s6s.7S1 a year. From
these figures it would appear that it
would be good business TO incur an ex-

such investment entailed an annual

As she went bllndly toward the door
young man. somewhat hook-nosed
and very red-lipped, came from the
inner office. started at sight of her.
then hurried up to her, asking sauvely
how he might serve her Inside of a
minute he knew everything. and stood
looking down and pulling his mustache
thoughtfully, buts almost Instantly

ture to meet Miss Observation-Disclosures
to serve relative OF his old friend
Hedding-between sentences he had
been hurrying Peggy out ard away
and at the last OF them he was hud-
ding her into a waiting cab.
Something happened then, just how
Peggy never understood. A plain
faced young man. who had glanced at
her pitylngly as she passed into the
private office, somehow rose up from
the pavement and sent the red-lipped
gentleman away in something of panic.
He's not fit to speak to any decent
girl" the deliverer explained, as he
took Peggy back to her place of wait
ing. The deliverer said no more to
her. Instead there was lively buzz
ing of telephones and some guarded
talk over wires AS a result of it,
Peggy was sent in charge of the office
boy up to her Uncle Johns house. She
stayed there week, and went home
with all the money she would take-a
deal more than she had thought of
asking for.
Even that was not all She knew
the fairy prince was coming to see
her in her own rural surroundings
before very long. She knew further
that he was as rich as he was modest
and clean-minded, the sort of real
fairy prince that every girl longs for.
OF course he came, and equally of
course, next year they were married.
Johnny Magee was mighty upset that
all things turned out so we'll, until he
married the faithful Sally Job-then
he thought of his escape from Peggy
as a mereiful deliveranee.
