We sincerely hope Judge Brown
and Mayor Sage will be induced to
buy one or more Of the road graders,
some of the work Of which we we're
able to see last week. In our
opinion this grader will do more
work in one day than a dozen
teams and scrapers will do in ten
days. If we can get one mile Of
good road in the county it will be
more than we have had with twenty
years free labor and taxes. Let's
start out right and show the world
that Randolph county is not a
back number.

Let's Have A Road

"Where there is a will there Is a
way"
When the people want 1t they can
surely have a good road. On
Thursday and Friday, September
18th and 18th, about 60 men with
10 teams aud wagons started out to
work the road between Rayenden
Springs aud Ravenden. All bust
ness houses were closed and almost
all the male citizens turned out to
work the road. 1t was a busy scene
and erybody pronounced it one Of
the best enterprises that the people
of this county had ever undertaken.
In Just those two days some of the
worst aud, in the winter time, some
of the almost impossible places were
not only repaired but permanently
repaired with a solid rock founda-
tiou and then thickly covered with
gravel. "Many hands make light
work" and the pleasant association
of citizens in an effort that appeals
to all alike is in itself calculated
not only to benefit the whole com
munity IN the way of traffic, but to
unite the people IN a closer bond of
fellowship, aud opens up the way
for greater achievements in the fu-
ture.
Hence a petition has been circu.
lated and readily responded to by a
goodly number of the citizens of
Ravenden Springs, that the first
Wednesday and Thursday in the
months of October, November and
December be set apart for a like
purpose. 1t Is weak to be scared at
difficulties, seeing that they gener-
ally demonish as tney are approach
ed, and oftentimes entirely vanish.
No man and no set of men can tell
what they can do until they try.
1t is impossible to calculate the
extent of hnman powers: II can only
be ascertained 10y experiment. The
reason why men oftener succeed IN
overcoming uncommon difficulties
than ordinary ones is, that in the
first case they call into action the
whole of their resources, and that
IN the last they act upon calcula.
tion, and almost always undercal-
culate.
Where there is no retreat, and
the whole energy Is forward, the
chances are always IN favor of sue.
cess, but backward looks never ac
complish anything. There is some
thing in resolution which has an
influence beyond itself, and 1t
marches on like a mighty lord
among its slaves; all is prostration
where 1t appears. 1t is by habI.
tual resolution that men succeed to
any great extent; impulses are not
sufficient.
So let everybody turn out on the
appointed days and business all
round will pick up. Lawyers, doc
tors, preachers, merchants, farmers
and mechanics are all interested in
a good road to the railway. Bring

and a smell. / would like to have it
tested or have you advise me what
would be best to do in case of this
kind. S. NJ, Adrian, Wash.
Answer: The peculiar taste which
you notice in the milk as described
in your letter of the 3rd inst. is no
doubt due to the presence of organ
isms which probably gain entrance at
the time the COW is MIXED or when
the milk is being strained Certain
bacteria which are more prevalent in
the winter time than in the summer
time, turn the milk decidedly bitter,
and in order to prevent this it will
be necessary to take special precau-
lions in keeping out all contamlna-
ton, and thorouhgly sterilizing the
utensils. If the milk is bitter as
soon as it is produced, it might be
due to an advanced stage of lactation.
Perhaps the COW has not been fresh
in long time, and again she might
not be getting the proper ration.
If you wish to have a ration balanced
fonyour COW, I shall be pleased to
have statement of the feeds that are
available with prices for same, and in
addition such other information re-
garding the handling of the COW as
it seems desirable to give.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-01

little different handling and little
different feeding in the case of the
two types. When we feed for milk
production we give large amount of
protein in comparison to the fat
produced and when we are feeding
for beef the reverse is true. This
makes it almost impossible to feed
the two types in the same animal.
Another drawback to the dual pur-
pose COW is that at the present time
we have no distinctly dual purpose
sire. Our efforts along dairy lines
are to breed UP to a high production
of milk and butter; our efforts along
beef lines are to build up toward the
production OF a carcass that Will
dress out a larger percentage of beef.
We choose bull with either Of these
two factors in mind, but when we are
choosing bull for the dual purpose
breed, we do not have such an OPP
portunity for selection because we
have so few strictly dual purpose
bulls. I believe in getting a large
dairy COW, one whose calves will veal
easily, and in addition get the best
bull of the same breed that l am able
to purchase, having in mind princi-
pally the production of milk and fat,
and secondly large frame. l do
not believe it is impossible to get
breed that will produce good veal
calves as we'll as the high milk pro-
duction, but [ do believe that it is
impossible to get a breed Of COWS
which would be classed both as beef
and dairy COWS and be handled econ
omically. There IS no best breed.
You will make no mistake if you Sc
lect COWS from anyone of the follow
ing breeds: Jersey, Guernsey, Ayr.
shire and Holstein, considering the
nature and size as stated above.

DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE.

Question: Kindly give me informa-
tion concerning the advantages and
disadvantages of dual purpose cattle
and their adaptation to my climate,
and logged-of land. VIM. s., Sui
tan, Wash.
Answer: With the present prices
of beef and milk it sometimes seems
that a COW capable of producing both
would be a good Investment. If we
can get COW to produce calf that
will make good veal and at the same
time will give a large flow of milk for
ten months out of the twelve, we
would have a good combination. The
difficulty, however, is that it requires
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-01

dlings, oil meal, etc., makes one of
the best milk producing feeds to be
had, and we are persuaded our dairy
men will not be slow to take advan-
tage of these new feeds.
Just recently one OF the largest
milling concerns in Seattle COM
menced the manufacture of molasses
exclusively and buying it by the ship
load and offering molasses feeds to
our dairymen and feeders for much
less money than these feeds have ever
been sold at before.

CANE MOLASSES AS A STOCK FEED

The feeding value of cane molasses
has been we'll known for the last
fifteen years. 1t was not until recent
years, however, that it came into
universal use. AS high an authority
as Professor w. A. Henry makes the
statement that cane molasses is equal
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-01
to corn in feeding value.


There are large quantities of molas-
ses being fed in the United States,
most particularly in the South and
East and adjacent to beet sugar fac
tories. Beet molasses, however, must
be fed with greater caution and in
limited quantities.
On the other hand there is no dan
ger whatever from feeding cane mo-
Iasses. From the reports of the
different feed experts and experiment
stations it is bland. extremely pala-
table and much relished by farm ami
mails.
Professor w. A. Henry in his ia
nous book "Feeds and Feeding" has
a great deal to say in regard to cane
molasses and we quote from his book,
page 274, paragraph 425. ovation
reports the successful feeding of over
1000 horses on a sugar plantation in
the Fiji Islands on a ration of Is
pounds cane molasses, three pounds
wheat bran, and four pounds corn,
with green cane tops for roughage.
The health of the horses was greatly
improved by the molasses. There
was no undue softness of flesh and no
injury to the wind. DaIrymple of
the Louisiana Station, collecting data
from At Louisiana sugar plantations,
found that anaver age of 10 pounds
of cane molasses was fed daily to
each horse, effecting a saving of from
10 to 80 per cent in the cost of the
ration and reducing the number of
digestive ailments.
Cane molasses furnishes the cheap
est form of carbohydrates that can
be had on the Coast. due to our close
proximity to the Hawaiian Islands
and the development of the sugar
cane plantations in the Islands.
1t is a we'll known fact that cane
molasses mixed with high protein
feeds, like alfalfa meal, oat mid
