FEED GRAIN TO THE CALVES
Suitable Mixture Can Be Made of Two
Parts of Cracked Corn ana One
Part of Wheat Bran.

A little grain should be fed as soon
as skim milk feeding begins, in order
to replace the butterfat removed in
the cream.
Two parts, by weight of cracked
corn and one OF wheat bran make a
good grain mixture, which every
farmer can readily secure, and re
quires no especial preparation.
The calf should be taught to eat this
grain by sprinkfng little of it in the
feed box right after feeding the milk

TAZEWELL'S FINE ROADS.

Tazewell's fine roads call fo,tb
much favorable comment from visit
ors from other parts of the state.
From Richmond visitor we are in
formed that the capitol city and sur
roundings furnish no such roads for
pleasure or business as the road from
Tazewell to the Cove and from Taze-
well to Burke's Garden. Our visitors
express surprise ut the wonderful
highways and wonder where the
money came from, but it is no secret
the taxpayers adopted the only
modern method of accomplishing any
great undertaking, that of issuing
bonds, and after the bond issue money
had been spent they went down in
their pockets and put up more money
to complete the connecting roads, un
TIL Tazewel is known all over the
State as county with fine roads.
The econiums and praise bestowed
upon us is all very nice, and is justly
bestowed, but to use street express
sion, "That gets us nothing" "a
good name won't pay for break
fast" can be well applied to the
opinion others have of us and our
roads. The roads cost money and a
whole lot of it, but if we simply join
IN with the visitors and express our
admiration for the fine thoroughfares
and take no steps to protect our in
vestment it will not long be an i'm
piovement, but an circumference.
Start the ball to rolling towards
some organized effort in maintaining
these monuments, that posterity NAV
look upon us as a generation of fore
sightedness and common sense.
