FIND OUT
Tho Kind Of Food that will Keep You
Well.

The true way is to find out what Ii
best to eat and drink, and then cult
vate taste for those things instead
Of poisoning ourselves with improper,
indigestible food, etc.
A conservative Mass. woman writes:

the young and for the aged; in sick

directions carefully, later In variety
of ways as my taste and judgment
suggested.

and served dry with cream when rheu-

me to change diet.

to produce a liberal yield of milk
daily as it is for horse to work at
hard labor all day. When this is fully
understood the necessity for a few
weeks rest on the part of the cow
becomes evident.
Furthermore, the cow during seven
or eight months of the milking Pc
riod is carrying and developing a calf.
which Is a further drain on her sys-
tenn. If she is given a few weeks
to repair her WORKOUT body tissues
and to store up little excess fat she
will give more in the entire year,
than she would milking continuously.
If not given a rest before calying,
she begins new lactation period at
lower level of production, and will
maintain lower level through the
entire time. Six weeks is none too
long for any cow and if she is badly
run down ten or twelve weeks will be
better.

EXPENSE OF BUILDING ROADS
Over $2oo,0oo,0o0 Spent on Highways
Up to January I, 1915-31,oo0

More than 100000, 900 of state ap-

total of $1,000 miles of surface high

the Good Roads Year Book for 1915,
issued by the American Highway as
ISOLATION from its Washington Office.
Only seven states. Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Mississippi, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas, have no form
of state highway department what

the counties for road improvement by
lending the services of the entire male
state convict force.

SPINACH REQUIRES
A GOOD, RICH SOIL
Sow in Drills If Possible, as
Ground Can Be Kept Loose
and Free of Weeds.

Spinach is a gross feeder and for
best results requires rich soil. If a
small area is only available, it will
be sown broadcast in beds; but by all
means SOW in drills if possible, as
the ground can be kept loose and
free from weeds during the summer.
For all regions north of the Ohio
river the winter protection should be
given, and this may consist of coarse
litter of any kind. In general, mulch
Ing is not required south Of that line.
In the North the covering serves two
purposes; not only protection from
freezing, but 1t IL also more easily
gathered when thus protected from
the snow.
As to varieties for autumn sowing,
the Prickly Winter and the Long
are the best OF the former
variety the term "prickly" applies only
to tho SEEDS: not to the foliage or sdi-
bic part.

CREAM OF HIGHEST QUALITY
Dor or Expense-PrincipIes In
volved Are Simple.

One of the most common causes OF
poor quality butter is the lack of i'm
mediate, thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The dairy di-
vision of the United States depart
ment of agriculture has made a care
full investigation of conditions on a
large number of dairy farms, and the
data obtained show that, if properly
cooled, cream of the best grade can be
produced with but little extra labor or
expense. The principles involved are
very simple and are easily under
stood. "a
A liberal use of ice which has been
stored in winter to be used the follow
ing summer is one of the requirements
for the solution of the poor butter
problem. Farmers who already are
delivering good products to the cream
cry usually have provided for them
selves convenient source of supply
for the ice, suitable houses for storing
the ice and ice water tanks for the
cooling of the milk and
cream.
In parts of New England, although
the dairymen often hold cream on the
farm four days in the summer and
seven days in the winter, they deliver
all their product while
sweet. After it reaches the creamery
it is pasteerized and shipped a dis
lance of from SO to 300 miles, and may
still be sold in these remote localities
In the form of sweet cream.

Mirrors Protect Bank Vaults.

In constructing vault in the base
ment of one of the Los Angeles banks.
a plan has been followed which makes
the six sides of the chamber visible to
Waterman and eliminates all chances
of its being entered by tunneling be-
meath it. 1t is set on concrete columns
in the middle of white-tiled pit
which is brightly illuminated. To
make it possible to command a view
of the space beneath the vault, from
the level above, mirrors have been
arranged on the floor at such an angle
that every part of the space is re-
flected in them. Light is reflected by

soon the horses were ready to eat
them with a relish.
The hogs, too, will eat them but not
with any avidity if otherwise we'll fed.
For the hogs / prefer to cook them If
possible and mix them with shorts and

We also stir them, cooked soft, in

Last year our turnips were raised
along fence row which was formerly

mild, these little ones continued to

to continue this, with a few days
skipped, for over six weeks.

ments will result North Carolina will
probably establish an Independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways Massachusetts and Con-
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er, but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in eff
feet on a considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, so that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
in all construction work; a proper
classification of highway to insure in
telligent distribution of improve
inents; an adequate provision for
maintenance of highways from the
day of their completion-these are
among the objects for which the
American Highway association is wag-
ing a vigorous campaign.

Dog Hero Saves Little Girl.

Little Elsie Perry, daughter of c. L.
Perry of Wilson. N c.. was saved
from the fangs of a rabid dog by the
bravery of a nondescript dog, the
property Of Mr.. Perry, and the con-
slant playmate Of little Elsie.
While playing in front of her home
the little girl was attacked by large
dog, which came running down the
street. Her playmate, much smaller
than the attacking dog, threw himself
on it, and battled grimly, until the
little girl escaped into he house. The
canine hero was terribly bitten in the
encounter, and when it was learned
that the strange dog had rabies, the
hero had to be shot, as physicians
said 1t was certain he WOULD go mad.
He was buried with the highest hon
ors.

OVERLOOK VALUE OF
HOMEGROWN FOODS
Unless Foundation Is Well Laid
Business Will Be Failure
Practice Rotation.

By following along the line of 'sci-
entific'' feeding, many dairymen have
overlooked the value of homegrown
dairy foods, and formed a habit of go
ing to the mill and exchanging their
milk check for protein foods.
On the dairy farms short system
of crop rotation renews old fields,
puts all crops nearer to the manure
and fertilizer used, increases the va
riety of feeds, adds to their value
through an increase in their protein
content, and to their palatability and
ease of digestion.
Food and food production for the
dairy lies at the foundation of sue
cessful dairying. Unless the founda-
ton is well laid the business will be a
failure.
Dairying today is the leading branch
of farming, bringing to the farmer the
most money and leaving the land in
the best possible condition to continue
its production.

PRACTICAL GOOD ROADS TEXT
Probably Three-Fourths of Difficulties
Experienced in Season Could
Be Eliminated.

How much better to drag the roads
in early spring than to let the roads
themselves become a drag" next sum-
mer, when heavy teams loaded with
produce must be hauled to market.
Probably three-fourths of the dirt
road difficulties experienced during
the season could be eliminated by
little industry right now.
The pleasure later on of hauling
over roads free from ruts and gigan-
tic mud puddles after the summer
shower, will make up for any extra
work this spring.
Here is practical good roads text
that will be carried out by many pro-
gressive communities this year.

can be reasonably expected. 1t is
