PREPARE STOCK FOR MARKET
Experience Has Shown That There ls
More Growth the First Year Than
second-keep Pushing.

In preparing stock for the market,
too much stress cannot be laid upon
rapid development of the animal. Ex.
perience has shown that in proportion
to the food consumed by young ami.
mails, there is more growth the first
year than the second. and more the
second year than the third, and with
each increasing year the increase in
weight gets smaller in proportion tc
the amount of food consumed. conse-
quently IL Is very essential that all
young animals be kept thrifty and
growing; especially is this true with
all animals intended for market. This
is seen in the production of baby beef,
which is one of the most profitable
businesses to engage in. A quick
growth, and an early maturity, returns
the best profit among cattle. swine,
sheep and poultry. The intelligent
farmer, in preparing his stock for
market. should always bear In mind
the importance of pushing his stock
from the time they are born until
placed on the market. Every day
should see a gain in weight along the
lines of profit, yet at the same time
this crowding should pot be overdone
There is danger of injuring animals by
overfeeding. especially when young. If
however, the feed rations are properly
made. looking toward just enough and
not too little. or to much, good results
may be expected in the end.

FEW VALUES IN GOOD ROADS
Added Freedcm and Pleasures Are
Amcng Some Of the Real Benefits
Of Lower Cost Of Hauling.

Five miles to the picnic ground
does that mean for you an hours hard
work guiding your team over "chugs"
and ruts and around and through mud
holes, with tired horses and soiled
clothes when you get there. or does
Il raean a rlessant drive of thirty
minutes or less with no exertion on
your part and little on the part OF
your team?
In the wirter when the plays and
lectures cone to your town. can you
drive in and arrive as neat and calm
as any townsman or do you think OF
all the long stretches OF bad roads
between you and the town hall. and
decide TO. stay at home rather than
face them?
Good roads are needed not only be-
cause they save the farmer money
and increase land values. but because
in a very real sense they bring him
nearer TO all the rest of the world,
and enable him and his family TO
share in pleasures and privileges
often out Of his reach when roads are
bad, says tie Progressive Farmer.
When you go to figure on the cost
and the yal;ia Of improved highways,
do not forget that they have real
and a great value in the added enjoy
ment and the added freedom they
bring; and that this Is benefit not
less real than a reduction in the cost
of the hauling you do.
