USE OF FULL-BL00D
SIRES ON THE RANGE
Striking Argument in Favor of
Registered Bulls Reported
From State of Utah.

A communication from Washington,
D. c., gives striking illustration of
the value of the use of full-blood sires
on the range.
Two Utah ranchmen shipped their
steers to the same market on the
same day Both grazed their stock
on the national forest range under
grazing permits, controlling the same
amount of range per head, and paid
the same grazing fee. There was this
difference: One had used registered
bulls, the other had not. The owner
Of the steers by registered bulls &C
tually received $40 per head more for
his steers on the market than the 9TH
er one received for the steers sired
by the nonregistered bulls.
There is more sound argument in
favor Of the use of registered bulls In
this one fact than could be written
into Q volume.

(By l.. A. WEAVER, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
Forage crops furnish the best pos
sible way of cheapening the cost of
pork production, if we can trust the
experience of the Missouri agricultural
experiment station and of numerous
hog feeders. High-priced grain must
be used to certain extent, but cheap
er crops may be substituted for a part
of it. The Missouri station expert
ments show that the five pounds OF
grain required to produce a pound OF
pork in dry lots may be reduced to
three pounds if the hogs are running
on alfalfa, rape, clover, sorghum or
blue grass. The average return per
bushel of corn fed was &C cents a
bushel in case of dry-lot feeding, as
compared with $1.10 when the hogs
fed were running on pasture.
Economy Of work and better effect
on the fertility of the soil are also
secured by hogging down, so the 40
per cent saving in grain feed does not
tell the whole story. Hogs on pas
ture nearly always drop the manure
where it will do some good, but this
is rarely the case IL dry-lot feeding is
practiced. The grain feed keeps the
animal in better health and free range

GIVE YOUNG COLTS
VERY BEST OF CARE
Dry Bed and Protection From
Cold Winds and Rain Is of
Utmost Importance.

By PROF. DONALD J. Rays, Ohio
State University
With the demand for good draft
horses advancing, the young colts
should receive the best of care to in.
sure rapid and complete development.
Many may be ruined by heavy feeding
in the stalls where they cannot take
exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is a
tightly built shed open to the south
where the animals may go in or out al
their own pleasure and where they
may have the run of lot for exercise.
A dry bed and protection from cold
winds and rain is all that is needed.
Clover and alfalfa make good rough
age for colts with grain ration OF
two parts oats and one bran added.
There is little danger Of overfeed-
ing colt if room for proper exercise
is given. Growth can be made more
cheaply during the first year than at
any other time and feed should not be
spared.

HORSE REALLY HAS
VERY LITTLE SENSE
Not Nearly So Intelligent as He
Is often Pictured-"Ji bbler"
Not Stupid.

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins, ColoD
Those who have had the least to do
with horses ascribe to them an intel
ligence which they really do not pos
sess. A horse knows about as much
when 1t is born as it ever does.
The majority of horses have very
little will power, they can be rendered
docile and tractable, they will work
at high pressure until exhausted.
never apparently learning the obvious
lesson that 1t is the willing horse"
which suffers and that the more they
work the more they will get to do.
The so-called stupidity Of the ass
and the provoking obstinacy of the
mule are not indications of lack OF
intelligence. On the contrary they
manifest a determination Of purpose
which IL they could combine against
man would secure for them complete
freedom from civilization.
A horse that "jibs" is one that has
learned to disobey; he has learned his
own strength and the comparative
powerlessness of his master and he
has learned this through an exercise
Of reason. The ''jibbler" is an intel
ligent and not stupid horse.

INCREASE IN VIG0R
MADE BY CROSSING
After First Generation There Is
Decrease in Yielding Power
Of Hybrid Strains.

It has been the common belief OF
feeders that a first cross between two
pure breeds produces an animal that
makes more rapid gains and natures
earlier than would an animal of either
OF the pure breeds that entered into
the cross. The blue-gray steer (Short-
horn-Galloway CROSSE has been famous
as a feeder for many years. Like
wise farmers that are raising hogs for
the butchers block usually prefer
Berkshire-P GLAND China, Duroc-Tam-
worth, or Duroc-Berkshire first crosses
to pure bred stock of any of these
breeds. There is an increase of vigor
in the first generation cross.
1t has also been known for many
years that first generation crosses
among plants that have been bred
pure for some time will give an in
crease of yield over their parent
stock.
Later experiments have brought out
a point that the earlier experiment.
ers failed to fully appreciate-that
the increase in vigor from crossing
is only temporary. After the first
generation there is a decrease in the
yielding power Of hybrid strains. I'm

have made cross with good results,

INCREASING VALUE or LANDS
Immense urcultivated Area Cannot

There are over 400.000,000 acres Of

1t has been shown that the value OF
land is increased evenly with the i'm

the roads are improved, there is a

In twenty-five counties, taken at ran

Among the forage crops tested for
pork production, alfalfa stands at the

which q bushel of oats per acre can

per cent of improved roads, the IN
crease of population In each county
was $1,000. The back-to-the-farm'
movement will progress just in pro-
portion to the improvement of the
highways, and the improvement Of
the highways is dependent upon adj
ministration not less than upon con-
struction.
There must be skill in the super
vision as well as in the building of
the roads. Heretofore at least nine
tenths OF the work on the roads has
been done under the direction of men
without any knowledge Of roadbuild-
Ing, which is an art based upon SCI
ence. There are today more than 1907
900 petty road officials in the United
States who have no practical knowl-
edge of the simplest engineering prob
lens that must be solved In the locar
ton of the roads, In their relation to
general systsem, or to related sys-
TENS; but who are supposed to have
great influence in neighborhood poll
tics and are mighty at the polls. 1t is
from this incubus that the problem
must be relieved If the country is to
enjoy the benefits of well ordered
system of highways.
Good roads not only cost great
deal Of money in their construction,
but also in their maintenance or adj
ministration. 1t has been the habit in
this country to work on the roads
when all other work was done, and
this has meant that the roads have
had attention only once or twice q
year. Macadam roads do not take
care of themselves, concrete roads
should have constant attention, sand
clay roads require daily supervision IL
they are to give service for which
they were designed and built. In
France every mile Of road is inspected
daily, and it is the constant vigilance
Of trained supervision that enables the
railroads of the country to take care
of the business of the country. There
ought to be the same sort and degree
OF supervision of the roads of the
United States If they are to give the
service for which they are built. To
make mile of macadam road eight
feet wide and eight inches thick, 1,750
tons of stone are required, and to
build mile of gravel road eight feet
wide and eight inches thick, 1,142.93
cubic yards of compacted, or, 1854 Gu
bic yards of loose gravel are required,
and in order that the best results may
be obtained, there must be competent
supervision not only in the mixing Of
the materials employed in the build
ing of the roads of the several types,
but in the placing of materials.
There are 100000 miles of what
are commonly called "dirt roads, in
the United States, and to make them
effective there must be proper drain
age, such grading and alignment
as will make them fit for the traffic
and constant surface betterment, and
1t is nothing short of criminal waste
to build roads of macadam and ex-
pect them to take care of themselves.
Undoubtedly the best system of main
tenance for all roads is that which pro-
yides for the permanent and some
times continuous employment of
skilled laborers who have charge of
particular sections of road, or who
may be assigned to any part of the
county or other road unit where there
is work most needed.
