This - che Season When Highways

tributer to Farm Progress. Highways
worked over late in the fall are likely
to become quagmires when the deep
freezes and sudden thaws Of winter
and late spring come. 1t may seem
impossible to work the roads In winter,
but there are days in nearly every
week when the drag or some similar
device can be used.
A split log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface Of road after suitable ditch
es and cross section have once been
secured This drag can also be used
to advantage on gravel road as well

involved in dragging is that ciays and

WEED OUT LOAFERS

The work Of testing the dairy herd Is
most interesting and produces many
surprises. Many of the finest appear
ing cattle will be found to be the poor
est producers, while some OF the ami
mails thought to be scrubs will be
worthy Of place in the constructed
herd No time should be lost In dis
posing Of the unproductive cows A
market can readily be had for those
in good condition, while the money
received for their sale can be most
wisely expended by purchasing sire
and two or more dams of a dairy
breed. These new animals should not
be purchased without first knowing
their record of production.
II the time. labor and expense OF car
ing for the poor cows in the dairy herd

The pure bred cow carries a
great possibility Of reproduction
OF the qualities of her ancestors.
In her the power OF heredity pre-
dominates because she Is bred
for that Particular line.
Every 5ne who is interested tn
dairying is not necessarily
dairymsn.
The folly Of keeping low pro-
ducfng cows should be so APP
parent that such COWS would be
Stunned as thieves and robbers.
The way to secure good dairy
herd Is to breed 1t and produce
1t on the farm rather than to de-
pend upon purchases every sea-
son.

rightly used. will help to make
the cows more profitable.
