ROAD
BUILDING
IMPROVE ROADS IN ILLINOIS
Expected That State VIII Spend
Nearly $2Oo,oOo,oOO for Better High
ways in Next Few Years.
By II. A. JEFFRIES. Member of Illinois
Good Roads AssocIation.)

By II. A. JEFFRIES, Member of Illinois
Good Roads Assoclation)
Illinois has been one of the last
states to take up seriously the prob
lem Of improving Its roads, but now it
is going into it with 8 determination
to make big advancement in a short
time. A commission of Illinois road
enthusiasts has been touring the
states, inspecting roads and investi.
eating the methods Of road building.
1t is expected that the state will spend
in the next few years nearly $200,O00,'
900 for good roads, and necessarily
our people want to get the best roads
possible.
The question of whether there shall
be macadam roads, brick reads or con-
crete roads is one to be determined.
Many of the new roads are of mac
adam construction, and there has been
q lot of sentiment for the brick high
ways. Concrete roads have been OBJ
jected to largely because of the great
cost of construction. 1t costs $4,000
a mile for an 18-foot concrete road
and this initial outlay is so great that
it ordinarily scares any community
The advantage of the concrete road
however, lies in the small cost Of
maintenance.
The expense of keeping up con
crete road, it is said, is less than $50
a year per mile, with the experience
of New York, Massachusetts,, New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania shows that II
costs $500 mile to maintain mac
adam and brick roads.
1t makes no difference what kind Of
construction, so long as we get i'm
proved roads, and we can well AFFORD
later on to change the style of roat
If we get a first-class highway across
the continent, which, l believe, will
be accomplished in the next ter
years.

|. WHERE FAT PAYS
(By c. d. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee.)

In beef production, if fat is sold at
fat (tallow) prices, it is costing to pro-
duce from three to four times what ia
received for it.
The deposits Of fat in cattle about
the intestines and kidneys, also that
existing as patches" or "gobs" direct
ly under the skin, Is always stripped
off and sold as tallow. The problem
then is to secure carcass wherein the
minimum amount of fat is sold as
such,
Fat that is intermingled with the
muscle fibers, forming the "narbled"
appearance so desirable in a steak or
roast, and that spread in a uniform
covering beneath the skin, sells at the
highest price obtainable for the choic-
est cuts Of the carcass.
The quality of steaks and roasts de-
ponds upon the proper admixture OF
fat between the lean fibers, this gov
erning its juiciness, tenderness, and
flavor
Dairy bred and scrub steers have
the tendency to place relatively more
fat within the body cavity than do the
beef breeds, and while their gross
gains may at times equal those of the
latter class, such increases usually DC
not pay cost of production. The rem
edy then for this proposition Of pro
ducing fat at loss, is to handle only
that class of cattle that by nature tenC
to deposit their fat where it can BIZ
sold at a price in excess Of that of pro
duction; then by studying the foot
needs of such animal and applying
them to its feeding, we will be enabled
to produce the maximum amount o
the highest class of beef at the loves
cost.
A combination Of intelligent breed
ing and careful feeding will solve thu
question of profitable beef production
on Tennessee farms.

A GREAT TENNESSEE ORCHARD

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Elk
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
AT Lansing, Morgan county, there
has been planted during the past three
years an orchard covering 400 acres Of
land, and the planting is only begun.
Thousands of peach trees came into
bearing this year, the owners estimat-
ing the crop at one-half bushel per
tree.
The trees are vigorous, with rich,
dark green foliage and an abundance
of new wood for next years crop. The
young apple trees could not look more
promising. The whole orchard shows
intelligent care: good pruning has
been done, giving to each tree strong
skeleton. Part of the orchard is in
cowpeas, to be plowed under as fer
tilizer; and hundred acres is in
strawberries which have been well
cultivated. This is a commercial or
chard in which no shares are for sale;
and there is not an enterprise of great
er promise in the South.

NEW YoRK's IMPROVED ROADS
State Spending One Hundred Million
Dollars on High-CIass Thorough
fares-Money Well Spent.

The state of New York is spending
one hundred millions of dollars in
building good roads That seems like
an enormous sum of money, but there
was demand for good roads, and the
results so far secured are worth all
the effort
Over fifty million dollars have al
ready been spent and about as much
more is now available, and in few
years almost every portion of the state
will be reached by high-class finished
roads. They are like boulevards, we'll
constructed, well cared for and ought
to be very permanent.

FACTS TO Be KEPT IN MIND
WHEN FILLING THE SILO
(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Extern
sion, University of TENNESSEE


sion, University of TENNESSEE
The best stage for cutting corn for
sllage is when the bottom blades have
turned brown and the grain is we'll
glazed. At this stage the shuck VIII
begin to show a slight brown color.
About fodder pulling time," or just q
little later, is good time for putting
corn into the silo. 1t is a good plan
to let the corn get as ripe as possible
in order to preserve well, as the plant
contains more dry matter and a great
or feeding value as 1t nears maturity.
Fairly good silage may be made from
dry corn stalks, provided an abundant
supply of water is run into the silo
along with the corn. Much better sill
age Is had If the corn is cut at the
proper stage. It is important to have
Just the right amount of succulence, or
juice, in the corn, and If this Is not
there use plenty Of water in filling BY
turning stream from hose directly
into the blower pipe of the cutter. Do
not be afraid of using too much water
If the corn is very dry. II sorghum
is grown with the corn for silage It
will be ready when the corn is in the
proper condition for cutting.
The corn may be cut either by hand
or with corn harvester. Where the
amount to be harvested is small it
will be found to. be to the best inter
ests of all for a number of farmers to
club in together and purchase a har'
vester. Corn should not be cut long
before it is to be placed in the silo
as it dries out very rapidly
The best types of cutters are equip
ped with blower attachment for ele
waiting the cut corn into the silo. The
power required is about one horsepoW
or for every one-inch length in the
cutting cylinder. A 12-inch cutter will
require a 12-horsepower engine, and
15-inch cutter about 15-horsepoWel
engine if gasoline engine is used

have at least two-thirds the ratet
horsepower as that indicated for thu
gasoline engine.
The silage should be cut in lengths
from one-half to one inch. Cutting IL
short lengths, filing slowly and thor
oughly packing the silage gives bes
results. Put the best, heaviest ant
most energetic men in the silo to keel
the silage evenly distributed and wei
packed. Keep the silage at least
foot higher around the wall than Il
the center, and see that It is espe
cially well tramped around the wall.
When the silo has been filed 1t is
good idea to run on good amount Q
water. This helps to settle the silag
and exclude the air. This Is espt
cially important If the crop Is too DRY

Important Duty to People.

The making of good roads is one
of the most important duties Of the
people and their prompt repair and
careful maintenance is essential.
There is probably no subject in which
the progressive farmer is more deep
ly interested than that of having
roads connecting him with his mar
Rets over which he must be able to
haul the greatest possible load. Good
roads, like all other good things, are
too expensive to build and Of too
much value to be neglected.

Observation-Disclosures
ESQ Are Reported Dead.

New Orleans, La, Oct. l.-Con-
,servative estimates tonight are that
the death toll of the great storm
that ravaged the louisiana and
Mississippi coasts will go to 5OO.
To date there have been more
than 25O listed dead. Fifty OF these
are along the Mississippi coast
Twenty-one are in New Orleans
From other places named dead
have been tabulated as follows:
Premier, La, %; LaBanch La,
So; Shell Beach, La, Is; Lower
Coast, La, 90; DeLacroix, La, ";
Rigolets, La, 81; Lake Catherine,
La, %.
From a score of different points
have come reports of from one to
half a dozen deaths. These are
not verified, but generally are
credited. A number of sections,
which were the most exposed and
for which the gravest fears are
entertained, have not reported.
They mostly are sparsely popu-
lated, but it is believed the in
habitants had little chance to get
away.
At Manila Village, the famous
shrimp settlement, 80 miles be-
low the city, the life loss is
estimated at so. 1t may run to
twice that figure.
In New Orleans little attempt
has been made to estimate the
damage, S1O,0O0,O00 is given as
conservative figure. Every
person who owned property sui
tered, There is no distress here,
nor help from outside is wanted
or would be accepted, and the city
and its people are cheerful. Re-
building and repair work is linn
tied only by the number o.
available workman.

We have had very little snow here
SO far this Winter. but the weather
has been cold. 1t seems that now
that the weather is m~oderating the
snowfall is increasing.
Since last Fall several mine owners
here have been putting in gigine
machines and they are working ovet
the dumps. The recent cold weather
has put a stop to this work. but as
soon as Spring comes it will continue.
There are now four machines in use.
One is used on the Jennie A, where
over 80 tons have been worked with
good success. Alex Muir also has
one, and Charles Minoletti has two.
Mining here is being kept up DUR
ing this Winter and more men are
working than for the last eight years.
On the McEllin mine Mr.. Harwood
is keeping on with his work under q
lease and he is still shipping. He
has renewed his lease for another
year. On the Grand Prize mine they
are taking out ore. but will wait till
Spring before they commence to
ship. On the Ne Plus Ultra Supt.
Shields has found the ledge he lost
three years ago. and he is again in
ore. On the Rocco-H omestake
Charles Minoletti is working five
men and he hopes to open up a body
of ore before Spring. 1t is too bad
that the prices of ore are Sc low, but
we hope they will be better when
Spring comes.
This is at present a dry town. The
saloon is closed and no liquor is sold
in the stores. If times do not get
better we may send the town to the
