THE ROAD QUESTION.

When politics has lost its SAVIOR,
when weather conditions afford
no topic for discussion, when
delinquent subscribers cease to be
delinquent and when the country
seems to be running along
smoothly, requiring no attention
from the country editor-then it
is that the country editor can
,Mrn his attention tc the eternal
road question.
The Enterprise intends to ham
mer away at the road question
until Weakley county can boast
as good roads as any section un-
der the canopy Of heaven.
II Judge Maiden, Judge Jones,
Senator Elkins, Bob Suddath,
Hannings and Bowden, Adams
and Rowlett and all the other
spell-binders who have been spell
binding in behalf Of democracy
during the past two weeks were
to make up their minds to devote
the same amount of time and
money to a system Of decent roads
for Weakley county, why, bless
your sweet soul, this county
would have roads that next
summer and fall would attract
to this section some OF the
thousands Of automobile tourists
who will travel the universe.
In the first place, we need q
modern road law, one that will
accomplish more than the present
one, which, in fact, has proven a
miserable failure. In the next
place we need some wise, iudiclous,
honest administration OF a good
road law. We need the co-opera-
ton of these men mentioned
above and of all the men OF all the
county. We want more than sim
ply a few miles of good roads
around Martin or Sharon or
Greenfield we must have good
roads throughout the entire coun-
ty.
The Enterprise wants to enlist
the cooperation Of a dozen good
men in this community who will
agree to lend some of their time
and attention to a scheme or plan
for better roads in this particular
S.mmunity. This paper has q
Bian for improving our roads and
1T will require considerable time
to develop the plan and then
to put it into execution, but we
do not propose going into it'un,

DAIRY an0
CREAMERY
DANISH THE "BOARDERS."

Success In DairyIne Depends Largely
on Testing the Cows.
Success In milking cows comes by
the same route as does success in any
other line Of work-first by under
standing the job and then staying
with 1t, says the Kansas Farmer. But
it is not enough to understand how to
obtain a result without thought as to
the cost Of the operation.
The dairyman whose whole object is
to swell the amount of the cream check
without taking into consideration what
it has cost him to produce the cream
will find his profits fast slipping away.
1t is the man who obtains heavy pro-
duction through those feeds most eco
nomical to use who makes the real
gains
Another source of loss often over
looked in the milking operations is the
"boarders" in the herd. These cows
are good eaters, but do not turn their
feed into profit for their owner.
The sure way of checking on both
these matters is by keeping records.
1t requires certain per cent Of pro-
tein, carbohydrates and fat to produce
a pound Of milk The richer the milk
the more Of each will be required.
Different feeds contain these digesti-
BILE nutrients in different quantities,
and the dairyman should determine
which feed supplies them most eco
nomically and in the best form for the
COW to handle.
BY keeping a record Of the feed Civ
en- each COW and the returns made by
her in milk production 1t will be an
easy matter to pick out those COWS
that are "boarders" or that are being
cared for at a loss. This will make
possible wedding out" process and
will enable the mixer to build up a
herd Of profit making COWS only.
