DAIRY NOTES

Proper feeding determines the
amount of gain in the dairy business.
The longer the milk remains in the
udder the more it is impoverished by
absorption.
There is only one time to churn,
these warm days, and that is early in
the morning.
A lick of meal in the manger will
always bring the cows home promptly
at milking time.
To be sure, the COWS understand and
appreciate a few gentle pats and kind.
ly words at milking time.
There is nothing gained and much
lost, by selling the heifer calf from
the best butter-making COW.
Don't let anyone move the COWS fast

way to or from the pasture.

SCREEN OF GOOD APPEARANCE
Has Durability and ls Distinguished
Looking, Is Claim Made for New
Idea on Market

The attitude of the average person
toward screens is expressed by the
epigram, Screens is Screens" When
the fly fooler is In need of repairs,
the man who is doing the work gets
a few yards of screen with no regard
to it's nonrusting and wearing abilities.
A western concern has invented a
rust-proof which, according to the man
ufacturers, is finished with ten coats
composed Of three different materials.
The copper coats are put on first; then
the zinc coats are applied, and lastly
a finishing material of lacquer is put
on, which protects the zinc and also
adds to the rust-resisting qualities Of
the screen.
All these coats are applied to the
wire cloth after weaving by an cleo
tro-galvanizing process.
The color after finishing is a dull
aluminium, making a handsome, dis.
tinguished looking screen.

GOOD USE FOR A ROAD DRAG
implement ls Light, Easily Handled
and Should Be Worked Soon as
Possible After Each Rain.

There exists a prevailing opinion
in the minds of those who have used
the King road drag that the persistent
use Of this simple drag will do the
ordinary earth roads more good for
the amount of time and labor required
than any other method of working
ever proposed. Some of the best
earth roads have been made good by
the use Of this simple implement In
fact, some advocates Of the drag claim
that the trustees of many townships
could well afford to sell the heavy
road machines to a junk man and in

BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS
america Now Has 5000 Miles More Of
Improved Highways Than France
Total Now $1,000 Miles.

According to the Good Roads Year
Book of the American Highways asso-
citation, recently issued, America now
has 5000 miles more of good roads
than France, the total for this country
now amounting to $1,000 miles.
OF this 5000 miles were built in 1912
and about 5000 in 1914, making total
of over one-third of the entire mileage
of the good roads of the country.
New Jersey was the pioneer state to
provide state aid for public highways
in 1891, and Massachusetts and Con
necticut soon followed, but it is only
during the last ten years that the state
aid policy has been in effect to any
considerable extent.

The job was quickly finished and the

Tree.
1t now stands. Upon finding that the
tree had lost all signs of life, the gar
dener in this park devised the novel
idea of turning the dead trunk into
this artistic seat rather than dig 1t
out bodily.
Suiting the action to the decision he
cut the main limbs off about six feet
from the ground and to the top Of
these he fastened a pretty roof, which
is made Of palm branches. This done,
the seat, which runs all around the
trunk at distance Of about foot
and half from the ground, was made
out of sections of palm branches. In
addition to being inexpensive, this seat
is one of the most attractive in this
very elaborate park.
This suggestion might well be fol-
lowed by others. 1t is not an uncom-
mon sight to see unsightly dead trees
in public parks, which might be con-
verted into useful and ornamental OBJ
jects instead.-World's Advance.
