now TO ACCUMULATE MONEY.

Almost every individual makes
money. We are all money makers.
Some people make money much faster
than others. One reason why we are
not rich is that though we make
money we do not accumulate it.
Money accumulated and invested in
creases at marvellous speed. If you do
not realize this fact you would learn
It II you should mortgage your farm
and then be continually surprised at
the frequency Of tho payments of
semi-annual interest on your mort
gage.
The Individual who IL saving some

NOTES OF THE SHEEP FOLD.

Why are pure bred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep Of the medium grade lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Purely bred sheep as rule have
long loosely coupled bodies with little
spring Of rib and rough outline and
are coarse and often paunchy. This
class of animals are not desirable and
market buyers make the most Of their
bad points.
A good thing to remember when
lambing time comes on. A lamb that
Is so badly chilled it appears to be
dead may be revived by pouring down
its throat a half pint of warm milk
into which a tablespoonful Of gin has
been poured.
II there is no gin IN the house dip
the lamb in tubful Of warm water,
dry y off with a rough cloth and place
1T near the stove. Get some warm
milk into its stomach If possible and
In few minutes he will be as risky
as ever.

Maintaining the
Improved Roads

ITO much stress can not be laid
upon the Importance Of maintenance
in connection with the work Of i'm
proving the roads. The people in
nearly all the states are filled with
enthusiasm for road Improvement and
are spending enormous sums of money
in the construction of superb roads;
and yet almost without exception they
are making little provision to care for
the roads after they are built This
is true not only in the various counties,
but under many of our state highway
departments.
ITO maintain the roads in good con-
dition year after year+1 equires con-
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay is infinitely less than the loss which
must fall upon the people eventually
If they allow their roads to go to utter
ruin. The thing for all advocates OF
good roads to do is to urge continuous,
systematic maintenance and the set
ting aside every year of an amount per
mile estimated by the engineer in
charge to be sufficient for the proper
maintenance of the road "a course
which must make for economy and
efficiency"

there can be no doubt a. to the re-
sponsibility OF the milkmen, and will
full negligence should be made a Grim
inal offense. Nearly every physician
Of experience in our cities has met
with epidemics which can be traced
directly to contaminated milk
supply.
No person should handle milk who
comes in any way, into contact with
a contagious disease. 1t IL hardly nee
essary to say that the mixer should
be clean at all times. Wet hands while
milking drip dirty water into the pail,
introducing an innumerable number
Of germs
Water which 10 known to be con-
taminated should never be used in q
dairy; or 1t should be boiled before
using. This is a very simple precau-
ton, the necessity of which cannot
be doubted. To knowingly use con-
taminated water in dairy should BE-
classed as q criminal offense.
Dairy utensils are . very common
source Of contamination IN milk.
Choose utensils which are we'll SOL
dered, In which there are no moro
joints than are essential and in which
all joints are 30 filled with solder that
there are no cracks. sterilizs all
utensils.

ALFALFA.

Alfalfa Is rising In its legumino BUS
glory until it is reaching the position
where 1t is regarded as the king OF
forage crops And well may this be
SO Its first appearance in this coun-
try was in New York state, about
1921, but it was discarded because its
cultural needs were not understood
It was passed and forgotten for about
thirty years. when 1t again came into
the United States from Mexico by way
Of Chill. This time the seeds were
planted In the fertile soil Of sunny
California where it found conditions
to its liking. Alfalfa was rapidly
adopted in the irrigated sections OF
the west as the staple hay crop, since
it produced a greater tonnage Of nutri-
tious hay than did the grasses then
grown, and because of its popularity
in the west, spasmodic attempts were
made in the east to establish 1t.
Many tried but few succeeded. Its
requirements were almost unknown,
and where a stand was obtained 1t
was without effort on the part of the
planter. But the value Of alfalfa was
too great to be kept In a restricted
locality. Investigators sought and dis
covered it's cultural needs, and once
these became known. alfalfa spread
over the country from coast to coast
and established Itself - the king OF
forage crops.
