NEED OF COOPERATION
I'M THE BATTLE FOR
CLEAN, PURE MILK
By Vi. VI. CARRICK. NJ. ID.
Sanitation Expert.

SO many dramatic disclosures have
been made in regard to the relation
between dirty milk and the excessive
death rate among infants that farm
erS are beginning TO realize as never

with the municipal authorities in their
fight for pure milk.

dietary. and il is also the most con-

babies born in the United States die
ia their infancy from preVentable dis
ease. and that 60 per cent of these are
Que to gastro-intestinal diseases, due
To improper feeding or impure milk.
we naturally begin to look into the
cause.
I realize. of course. that not every
farmer can have his milking done
scientifically. but it is possible for him
10 produce safe milk Tor his own use,
and that of the public by very simple
and inexpensive means.
He may not have an elaborate dairy

Stock Raising

concrete silOs have been caused by
poor and insufficient foundation.
The concrete siIo should be built
reinforced with steel rods or woven
wire fencing. The joints in each course
Of the wire fencing should overlap
and the ends tied.
II is sometimes stated that the ST.
lage next 20 the wall Will spoil for a
distance Of six miles. If the silage
is not well packed and If the inside
walls are left rough. it will spoil at
the edges, but this may happen in
any type Of silo If the inside walls
are comparatively smooth and coated
with raw coal tar thinned 10 the con-
sistency of paint. and the silO is prop
erly filled, the silage will keep in good
condition for several years.
The impOssibility of moving is an
other argument which has been used
against concrete silos. but Il man who
builds for permanence and has a live
stock business definitely established
has no occasion for moving the silo.
Some concrete and tile silOs have
been poorly constructed and improp-
eriy filled. but these are not sufficient
reasons for condemning these types of
silOs. The unqualified assertion that
tile. concrete, cement block and brick
silOs are not durable is not based on
facts.
Details for constructing wooden
and concrete silos may be obtained by
applying to the department of agri-
culture.

FOREST FIRE LOSS IN
1914 IS S677,816
Production of 1914 is Greater
Than Previous Year, But
Farm Value Less.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 81
Fire in the national forests of the
west in 1914 caused a loss 10 the
government of not quite $4,000, 600
board feet of merchantable timber,
valued at $3O7,3O3, and Of reproduc-
ton, or young growth Of trees, valued
at $192,4OS, according to statistics
just compiled by the forest service.
There were 6,605 fires, of which only
1,545 burned over an area of ten
acres or more. About II per cent of
all the fires did damage Of less than
500 each. In addition to the losses
suffered 10y the government, timber
on state and private lands within the
forests, totaled 22S,00S,000 board feet
and valued at S175,3 was lost. The
total area burned over was 69O,240
acres, of which 31O,5S3 acres were
state and private lands.
notwithstanding that 1T was an ex-
ceptionally bad year for fires, on &C
count of high temperatures, heavy
winds and prolonged drought, the av-
erage loss per fire was $103, as
against $131 in 1911, when there were
only about half as many fires. Eigh-
ty-five per cent of the total loss was
caused by fires in Idaho. Montana,
oregon and Washington, where more
imam halt the llInDeT III All tie ma =
tiOnal forests stands. Less than one
tenth of one per cent of this timber
was affected. OF the 6,605 fires re-
ported, 1851, or 500 per cent oc-
Cured in these states, and Of the 90
fires causing losses of more than
$1,000 each, 81 were in this region.
Lightning was the chief cause,
starting 2,032 fires; campers came
next with 1,126, followed closely by
railroad locomotives, with LILO. In
cendiaries lighted 40 and the rest
were attributed TO brush burning,
sawmills, etc, or their origin was I'M

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
By HOMER ID. WADE.
Chairman Good Roads Committee,
National Farmers Union.

No other citizen realizes the value
of good roads as does the farmer.
A community can safely be judged
by the kind of highways it maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the consumer is the mud
hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the profits.
There is something radically wrong
with the farmer who is opposed 10
good roads.
Without good roads, there can be
no development that will be per-
manent and enduring.
Bad roads keep children from
school and impair the efficiency Of
church work in a community.
The elementary principles involved
in improved highways are social and
domestic happiness and business
economies

No FOOD SHORTAGE
DUE To EXPORTS
Enough Wheat Alone to Permit
Shipping One Million Bushels
a Day Until JuIy-COrn and
Meat Supply Big.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The de-
partment Of agriculture has just is
sued the following statement
The 1914 wheat crop Of the United
States was estimated TO be $4,000, 600
bushels. The estimated surplus car
ried over from the 1913 crops was
about 100000 bushels There was
therefore, a total available supply of
90 100000. As the normal annual
per capita consumption of wheat in
the United States is about So bushels
10000, 600 bushels should meet our
normal domestic requirements for
food; in addition, 10000, 900 bushels
are required annually for seeding:
10000. 600 bushels. therefore, should
supply the normal domestic demand
This would leave a surplus of 357,-
100000 bushels. OF this surplus about
210,O0O.0O0 bushels were exported by
Jan. so. This left 147.OOO,OOO bu-
shells, or 10000, 600 bushels more than
our average annual export for the past
five years, for export between Feb. I
and the appearance Of the new crop
or for carrying over into the next
crop year. The amount is sufficient
20 permit the export of nearly 1000
600 bushels day until July /, before
which time the new crop will begin
20 be available. This is about the
average recent expectation.
Worlds Crop Short
The large demand for our wheat
arises from the fact that there was
an estimated worlds shortage Of
over 400.OOO.U0O bushels outside Of
the United States; from the fact that
the Russian eXpOrtable surplus Of
tO0,0OO.000 bushels is not availa BILE
generally. and from the fact that the
bClliserent nations are eager To Sc
cure food supplies. If it were not for
these things we should be discussing
ways and means Of diSpOsing Of our
tremendous surplus of food products.
As has been stated the new Ameri-
can crop Will begin 10 appear before
july. The Argentine crop is now
coming ON the market. IT is esti-
mated that from that source there
viii be available 100, 100000 bushels.
A surplus of 100000 bushels or
more from india will be available
i'm MaN and June. The increase in
The fan sown wheat acreage of the
United States i'm 1914 was III per

many years the one sentenced should
serve for the crime committed. In
