LIVE STOCK ON RECLAMATION PROJECTS
IRRIGATED PASTURE BOISE RECLAMATION PASTURE

results are secured with q mixture Of
one or more grasses and at least one
variety Of clover. Sweet clover alone
is used to some extent on a number Of
projects, but no information has been
secured which appears to warrant any
general recommendation OF this crop
in preference to mixed grasses for n
rigated pastures. Some cases OF
sweet-clover bloat have been reported,
and 1T has not been possible to secure
any reliable data showing that sweet
clover has a high carrying capacity.
The use OF alfalfa as a pasture crop
Tor cattle or sheep cannot be recon-
mended for the northern projects, be
cause alfalfa so frequently causes loss
from blOat- On one OF the projects,
90 per cent OF the cattle lost during
the year 1915 are known to have died
from alfalfa bloat. Losses sustained
by farmers and in the experiments of
the office OF western irrigation agricuI-
ture Of the bureau Of plant industry
indicate that it is not safe to use even
a small quantity OF alfalfa seed in
pasture mixture. From the informa-
ton at present available there seems
to be no doubt that it is advisable to
conf1ne the selection OF pasture crops
to the grasses and clovers.
There is little uniformity at present
as to the kinds OF grasses and clovers
used. Some pastures contain only q
single grass and no clover, while 9th
ers have as many as seven or eight
grasses and two or three clOvers. The
use OF a single grass or several grasses
without clover is considered inadvis-
able, largely because Of low carrying
capacity. The use Of several grasses
which have different habits of growth
and different temperature requirements
assures more nearly continuous growth
throughout the season For exam
pie, some grasses will grow better dur
ing cool weather or in times Of water
shortage than other grasses which, on
the other hand, may make rapid
growth when the temperature is high
or when water is abundant.
'@The two cloYers most commonly
used with the grasses are white and al
sike, sometimes one and sometimes
both being used. Difficulty occasion
ally results from clover bloat where
the clover has been seeded too heavily
or where the conditions are especially
favorable to its growth, as they are on
some Of the projects. Where the pas
ture crops include several grasses and
where not to exceed two pounds per
acre of either clover seed is used, the
danger OF blOat is not likely TO be Sc
rious. In the selection of corps for
irrigated pastures, provision should al
ways be made for variety and high
carrying capacity and this necessi-
tates the use of at least one clover
and preferably more than one grass"
The bulletin then devotes several
pages to pasture mixtures for various
soils, method OF seeding, irrigation,
and management.

DAIRY BULLS VALUE
SHOWN BY OFFSPRING
Farmers Are Advised Not TO Sell
Sire Until His Daughters
Have Been Tested.

G. c. Hayden Of the Ohio experiment
station is authority for a statement
that the dairy bull may be worth more
than $1,000 in one year to q dairy herd.
He shows that in the station herd one
bull produced daughters averaging 153
pounds more butterfat than their dams.
If ten daughters produced milk for six
years, the total production of this sire
would be worth S2,T5O more than that
Of a bull that produced no increase,
if butterfat is worth 80 cents q pound.
Since the value Of the bull can be
determined only by the milk and but
ter yields Of his daughters, farmers
are advised not to sell the dairy sire
until his daughters have been tested
Buyers should not discriminate against
an old bull if he has some high pFo-
ducing daughters. for his value cannot
be determined until he is at least four
years old.

KENTUCKY FIRST TO IMPROVE
Spent Money for Construction of
Roads Over Half Century Ago
Had Highway Engineer.

It is often said that the use of state
money for the construction of roads is
of quite recent origin. The New Jer-
sey state aid law of 1891 is sometimes
referred to as the first instance of
such use of state funds in this coun-
try. As matter of fact, state money
was spent for such purposes more
than IS years ago. Kentucky paid
out over 100000 for road improve
ments between 1920 and 1910, under
the direction of a state highway en-
gineer, who drew a salary of $1,000
year, a very large sum for those
days. The roads built then were "a
to 80 feet wide between the bitches.
The surfaces were constructed of bro
ken stone, and the bottoms were of
large stones wedged together to make
what road builders call telford foun-
dalton. About 1850 business condi-
lions in the country became bad and
this work stopped. When it was re-
sumed in 1908 such long period had
elapsed since the earlier state-aid
work that 1908 is usually fixed as the
beginning Of state roadwork in Ken
lucky.

AMBITIONS OF THE GOODS
Only One Girl at State University Ad-
mits Aspirations to Matrimony-
Many to Be Teachers.

''MatrImony IS my intended voca+
tion," wrote one young woman stu
dent in the University of Kansas in
giving information required in enroll
ing. Of the 1908 women students in
the university she was the only one
even to hint she expected to be mar
ried. Seven hundred and nine of her
university sisters expressed ambition
to be teachers.
While IS per cent of the university
women say they expect to become
teachers, Kansas women are refusing
to stick to the one profession dedi-
Gated to women and are reaching out
into other work. One woman entered
the school Of engineering this year;
another the school of law. One wom-
an hopes for a motion picture career,
another says she's going to be mere
ly a plain business woman, four are
specializing in dramatic art and one
prospective missionary is enrolled
with two medical missionaries among
the fifteen women who are studying
medicine.
Three women are to be druggists,
four wish to be nurses, one bankers to
do entomologist illustrating, another
Graves photography. Two women will
strive to Guido man in scientific re-
search, three hope to be expert tech
nicians. one is preparing to be a Ii
brarian. twenty-seven are acquiring a

while two are cultivating the ''gift OF

work.
An assayist, bacteriologist and an
interior decorator will intrude into

to want to- keep for themselves, four
will become physical instructors; two,
social service workers, and two play
ground workers. OF the remaining 312

lines of travel in the early days were

MILLIONS FOR BETTER ROADS
Sum of $s5, ooo, 900 of Federal Funds
Made Available for Construction
of Country Highways.

By the passage of the federal aid
road bill the government of the United
States has put itself in the way to
reap great benefits. According to the
new law, the sum of $S5, 100000 of fed
eraI funds is made available for the
construction of country roads. OF
this amount $75,OOOOOO is to be ex-
pended for the construction of rural
