HIGH TEST OF CIVILIZATION
Man Is Road Maker and Progressive

A man driving in the country came
to Il stone which had rolled into the
road. He could have gone around the
stone, but, instead of doing that, he
stopped and got out and rolled the
stone away; not for his own sake, for
he never expected to pass along that
road again, but for the sake of others
who would come after him.

ages do not make roads; their paths
follow the lines of least resistance
and go around distractions. Civilized
man is a road maker, and the progress

gagged by its roads. The higher the
state of civilization the better the

A man may be judged, too, by his
attitude toward roads.

ESTIMATE OF AVERAGE Lead
In This Country 1t Is About 1,40o
Pounds, While over European
Roads It is $500 Pounds.

1t is estimated that over our dirt
roads, when level, the average load
drawn by one horse is about 1,400
pounds and, when the roads are hilly,
about 1000 pounds. In France and
Germany, with improved roads, the av.
erage load is about 1900 pounds. Other
estimates show that 5,0OO,00O,O00 tons
Of freight pass Over the highways every
year, with an average haul of less than
ten miles. The average cost is % cents
a ton a mile. On good roads the cost
would not exceed eight cents a ton a
mile.
The greater part of such freight con.
slsts Of farm products and the un.
necessary cost of transportation is not
only lost to the farmer but added to
the cost paid by the consumers.

KEEPING UP COUNTRY ROADS
Road Drag, Applied at Right Time and
in Proper Manner Will Do the
Trick Every Time.

That country roads can be kept dur
ing most of the year equal to or bet
ter than piked or macadam roads has
been proved time and again. The road
drag applied at the right time and in
the right way will do the trick every
time. OF course, the road must be
properly drained and rounded up first.
But demonstrations all over the cOun-
try have shown that In most instances
this Fan be done at a comparatively
small cost.
The great need today is for the
farmer to realize the value of good
roads. The cost of poor roads to the
farmer in dollars and cents has been
figured out. Every rut and mud hole
uses so much strength of the team
and wears out the wagon so much
sooner than If the road was good.
The size of the load is limited by the
piece of bad road or the hill which
uses the strength of the team to the
limit. A ten-mile haul may be limited
by an eighth of a mile of bad road.
A twO-ton load may have to be re.
duced to one ton because of n single
hill.

z or 8 per cent and the total loss to
the country from the practice is esti-
mated at nearly $15,OO0,OOO a year.
To obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding of farm rOughages such as
straw and slower, they must be COM
blned with some form of concentrated
feed. At the present time large guam
titles Of such feed, In the form of cot
tonseed meal and cake, corn, mOlasses,
peanuts and beans are exported for
the use of European feeders. If the
straw and stover that are now wasted
were employed to feed more cattle,
these concentrates could be consumed
at home. The result would be a ire
mendous saving not only in the cost
of producing beef, but in the cost of
enriching the soil as well. In 1914,
for example, about 100000 tons of
|cottOnseed meal-half the total pro-
duction-were applied directly to the
soil as fertilizer. If this had been fed
to cattle instead, three-quarters Of the
fertilizing value would have been re-
turned to the soil as manure. The loss
of the other fourth would have been
far more than counterbalanced by the
profit OF the meat produced economic
cally by the meal and the necessary
roughages. Much the same thing is
true Of the other Oil meals.
The value of these meals is far bet
ter appreciated in Europe than here.
Denmark, for example, feeds annually
AIS pounds of oil cake to each of her
mature cattle, the United States ap-
proximately "a pounds. Furthermore,
the European feeder is aware of the
fact that. the high protein meal, while
more expensive to buy, is more eco
nomical to use. Meal of this quality
is seldom sold on the domestic mar
kets because the American farmer has
not yet learned its value. CottOnseeh
and linseed are perhaps the best
known of the oil meals, but there are
others the use of which as feed could
be profitably extended. Roth peanut
and soy bean meal and cake, for in
stance, are in good demand in Europe.
The efficient s of these and other
feeds discussed in the report is of the
utmost Importance to the American
farmer, it is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation in feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability,
past. Hereafter it is likely that sue
cess will depend upon ability to put to
the best use all available products. A
greater knowledge Of what these pro-
ducts are and Of the ways in which
they can be fed will result in the elm
ination Of enormous waste.

MAKE HIGH-CoLoRED BUTTER
Any other Dairy Feed-Breed
Has Influence on Color.

Green grass is probably richer in car
otin than any other dairy feed. Cows
fed on 1t will therefore produce the
highest colOred butter. A ration of
bleached clover hay and yellow corn
is practically devoid of yellow pigments
and the milk from cows fed upon it
will gradually lose its color. 1t is, of
course, indisputably true that the breed
does influence the color Of the milk
fat but vary the ration and there will
be a corresponding variation in the
color Of the milkfat in each breed.
In the cows of the Jersey and Guern-
sey breeds, the bOdyfat is frequently
of such a deep yellow color that some
butchers and consumers look with dis.
favor upon beef from these breeds. For
this prejudice there is absolutely no
justification. The yellOwness of the
fat springs from the same causes as
the yellowness of the Bilkf9t, and
there is no reason for ~objecting in one
case to the very thing that is priced
in the other.

cost no more to raise than a horse that

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment Of Agriculture)
The waste in the United States of a
vast quantity of feed available for cat
tie is n of the important factors in
causing high meat prices, according to
Part ~ Of a comprehensive survey of
the meat situation in this country, re-
Gently completed by the department of
agriculture. The failure to make use
of this wasted material, SAYS the re-
port, has diminished profits from cat
tie feeding, has unnecessarily in
creased the cost of meat production,
and has discouraged many farmers
from properly rounding out their agri-
cultural activities In carrying on cat
tie raising.
According to the report the loss in
grain straw and corn stover amounts
to more than 500, OOO, 1000 annually.
Both Of these products are disposed
Of most economically when fed to
cattle in connection with some form
of concentrated feed. Straw is espe-
cially valuable in carrying the breed
ing herd through the winter, in win
tering stOckers, and as q supplement
tary rOughage for fattening cattle.
Slower, too, is an excellent feed for
wintering cattle, especially mature
breeding cows. Nevertheless, in many
sections of the country where these
products are abundant, little attempt
is made to take advantage of their
value for these purposes.
OF an annual straw crop of approx
mately 120,OO0,000 tons, it is estimated
that only twO-thirds is put to its best
use-live-stock production. OF the re-
mainder a little more than one-half is
sold or turned under and the rest-15
per cent of the total CROPS burned.
Burning is practically an absolute
waste and although blowing under
does contribute something to soil fer
tility, the benefit to the land is less
than that which would be derived from
the use of the straw to produce ma
nure. "Of all systems of obtaining
permanent soil fertility" says the re-
port, none is so practical or as easily
available as that of feeding live stock"
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about So a ton. In
many sections, of course, no such price
car be realized for it, and as a matter
of fact only about s per cent of the
crop actually is sold. The figure men
toned, however, may be taken as rep
resenting the value to the farmer Of
straw if he will use it properly in his
farming operations as feed or bedding.
In order to illustrate how this may be
done the report gives three sample ra-
tons for wintering a breeding herd Of
beef cattle on straw combined with
silage, shock corn, and cOttOnseed or
linseed meal. Any one of these ra-
tons, it is said, will prove economical.
They are as follows:
