estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear of the result. l can assure you
that no use will be made of your let

Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing 30, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca

doubt about that Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
I have thousands OF them in my files.

BEL WILL BE PRESENTED TO
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
NOW IN SESSION.
Counties May Use Prisoners on the
Rosds-New Road to Connect
state Institutions - Original
plan Will Include Use
of Convicts.

Topeka. KAMA rock road that VIII
cover nearly every section OF Kansas
built in a network of paved highways
from one state institution to another
is the plan that will be explained soon
m the state senate. A bill will be IN
troducedi calling for convict labor on
this road, and an authority for couh-
ties and townships donating money
and iail labor in the interest of con-
aecting highways. If the legislature
,pproyes the Milton plan as outlined,
It will give Kansas the greatest sys-
fem of permanent roads of any state
In the west.
It is furthermore proposed that the
counties in other sections of the state
be encouraged in the proposition by
legislated power to place their prison
ers On the highways. He believes that
within five or six years the state VIII
be covered by solid stone ribbed mud
less thoreughfares.
The state built road-a Highway cor
structed by convicts from the per-
Tertiary would cover from 800 TO 4OO
miles of territory. No preliminary es-
innate of the cost has been made.
Here is the proposed route for the
rock roads through Kansas from one
state institution to another:
Lansing to Kansas City, Kansas
thence to Kansas University at Law
renee, west to Topeka ard horthwesi
10 Manhattan. From Manhattan il
would lead straight west 20 Hays City
in Ellis county and northeast to BE
loit with a probable connection again
with Manhattan.
Another route would lead from Kan
sas City. Kansas, to the state hospital
at Rosedale, thence to Olathe, Osawat
omie, and south to Parsons and Pitts
burg.
From Topeka would start still an
other highway southwest to Enporia
on to Newton into Hutchinson, straight
west to Larned. southwest to Dodge
City A connection either at Larnec
or Hutchinson would bring the road in
to Ellsworth with a possible SECOND
link at Hays City.
Wichita would be given line from
Newton directly south and on down t.
Winfield. A road from Winfield II
Pittsburg through the larger towns
of the southern tier of counties would
serve this part of the state. A striI
from Lansing to Atchison would han
die this territory.
The main road mentioned would bt
built by three hundred state convct'
with modern road building machinery
It would be supervised by state drain
age and road experts. The counties
through which the road ran wollt
pay for the material and the own
ships would pay for the cost of haul
ing this material to the ground. The
construction work or the greatest par

done by the state.

towns could build connecting road!

Answer: 1t will be impossible to
give you a balanced ration to fit your
nditions until we learn of the feeds
including both roughage and concent-
rates which you have or can obtain.
If your land is of good quality So that
the whole ten acres are tillable you
can raise enough roughage for ten
COWS at least, making it necessary to
buy grain only, and by the selection
of the proper COW you can make a
good living according to your scheme.
Be sure to get high producing COWS,
being satisfied with none producing
less than 300 pounds fat in a year.
Keep a record of what your COWS are
doing and weed out your lowest prod
ucers as soon as you have another bet
ter one to take their places. Dairying
on small scale brings larger net 1e-
turns than when it is attempted on a
large farm where one man cannot be
in personal touch with each operation.

this year. The weather was perfect
and the manageGe nt claims to have

especially pleasing as the state had
withdrawn it's support, but donated
the grounds and buildings. The fair
was very efficiently managed and the
people of the southwest showed their
interest by paronizing both in attend
ance and exhibits.
