road funds to know what is available
for any particular project, where funds
have been or where existing balances
are to be expended.
8. Lack Of any systematic practice
in handling funds among most coun-
ties makes it very difficult to carry out
over even single year any persistent
maintenance policy, because funds Of
ticially obligated for maintenance pur-
poses are not protected against spo-
radio and irregular drafts for miscel-
laneous purposes. The greatest like
lihood consequently exists everywhere
that there will be no balance in the
maintenance fund in the last half or
third of the year, although only part
of the fund allotted may have been
spent.
4. Local labor available for mainte-
nance work is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unintelligent and unfa-
vorable criticism of those using the
road.
5. Maintenance continuing over a
period OF yearS-the ultimate indi6-
pensable condition of effective main
tenance-is jeopardized by lack of ac-
counting control that will prevent
spending next years current income
In this year.
6. The lack Of skilled supervision
in construction and the effect of this in
increasing the cost or in making ef-
fective maintenance impossibly expen-
sive is everywhere seen.
z. The county authorities are COM
monty opposed to following sugges-
tions for maintenance that involve ty-
ing up road funds in any way, such
as purchasing materials in advance to
store along the road for making re-
pairs or maintaining the road surface.

COUPLE OF REASONS
FOR GROWING SEED
From SIPS to $3.50 Per Pound
Sayed-ChanCe to Cultivate
Own Variety.

There are a couple of reasons for
raising your own onion seed. Onion
seed costs from $1.25 to $3.50 Per
pound. It could be saved with very
little trouble. One has chance to
cultivate variety of his own and es-
tablish a reputation as a seed producer.
which, in years to come, may bring
more ready money than the onions he
raised.
At screening time in the fall, pick
out the most solid, globe-shaped, deep
ly colored onions of whatever varieties
you want for your next crop. Large
or medium-sized ones are best. Esti-
mate the seed required to SOW your
crop. It takes Az to pounds to the
acre and one bushel of onions will pro-
duce three pounds Of seed on an aver
age. Always SOW a few more for
safety.

should be light, dry and bulky, SO as
not to tax the digestive apparatus. The

After the calf is taken away, put
the COW on dry feed, about five pounds

STRAW VALUABLE AS
A SOIL fertilizer
Farmers Are Urged to Make
More Extensive Use of It as
Bedding and Feed.

A large amount of straw is shipped
from a county in Missouri to a near.
by paper and strawboard factory. This
straw brings the farmer about so
cents per ton.
A county agent recently found a
pile of about 1000 tons at Sikeston
ready for shipment. He computes that
as fertilizer this straw is worth $3.50
per ton, in addition to it's value as
means Of adding organic matter to the
soil.
He is making a campaign Of the
county in an attempt to show the in
advisability of the farmers selling
their straw and urging it's more extern
sive use as bedding in stables and feed
lots.
Straw used as a top dressing on fall
wheat has been found to practically
insure good stand of clover on lands
where clover is otherwise grown with
great difficulty.

APPLY INSECTICIDE

List of Efficient and Dangerous
Combinations Prepared by
New York Station.

Now that one has to fight the cod
ling moth, the San Jose scale, canker
worms, plant lice and other insects
besides the apple scab and other fun
gous diseases, it is advisable to apply
two or three materials at the same
time. Certain materials can be mixed
together with safety, while others in
combination either lose their efficiency
due to chemical changes, or they may
prove injurious to the tree. It is i'm
portant, therefore, to know what ones
can be mixed safely. The following
list has been prepared at the New
York experiment station:
Better results are obtained by mix
Ing paris green or arsenate of lead
with bordeaux mixture than by apply
ing them separately.
Properties are not changed by mix
ing lead with tobacco or bordeaux,
lime sulphur with tobacco, soap with
tobacco or emulsions.
Efficient and noninjurious are lead
with lime sulphur, soap with tobacco.
Inefficient, but noninjurious are lime
sulphur with soap, acids or emulsions.
Safe and efficient triple combina.
tions are lime sulphur, lead and to-
bacco; bordeaux, lead and tobacco.
Dangerous combinations are paris
green with lime sulphur, soaps or
emulsions; arsenate of lead with
soaps, emulsions, or alkalies; emul-
sions with lime sulphur, zinc arsenite,
or arsenite of lime with lime sulphur,
soaps or emulsions; arsenate Of lead
or paris green, with soda or potash
sulphides, soaps or emulsions.

A Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

After a series OF careful experiments
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, covering
many years-Dr Pierce, the medical di
rector of that hospital, made announcement
that he could prove that medicine which
he called "ANURIC' was the best uric
acid solvent now to be had. As a rem
edy for those easily recognized symptoms
of inhammation-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bagO, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder
full how quickly "Anuric" acts; causing
the pains and stiffness rapidly to disap-
pear.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
Middletown transcript., 1916-05-20

kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
under the eyes in bag-ike formations.
1t is just as necessary to keep the kid
neys acting properly as to keep the bow
els active.
The very best possible way to take care
of yourself is to take glass of hot water
before meals and an "Anuric" tablet. In
this way it is readily dissolved with the
food, picked up by the blood and finally
reaches the kidneys, where it has tonio
effect in rebuilding those organs.
Step into the drug store and ask for
5O-cent package of "Anuric," or send DR..
Pierce lOe for trial pckg. "Anuric" many
times more potent than lithia, eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial will convince .roN.-Adv.

There are yet many who wholly mis-
understand the question as to what
effect feed fed to cows has on the
quality Of milk produced. By quality
we mean the amount of butterfat,
says a writer in an exchange. Some
feeds affect the flavor of milk and
possibly to a slight extent its col
or. Feeds rich in protein, it is long
known, have tendency to increase
the percentage Of fat in some animals
but not in others.
The milk-producing function of the
COW is to large extent under the con-
troll Of the nervous system. Anything

dition of the animal, whether it be

rough usage, extremes Of temperature,
or aught else, will have its effect upon
the quality.
On the other hand, plenty of the
right kind of feed increases the guam
tity of milk until the animal reaches
the maximum production. We have
yet to hear of any feed or system Of
feeding that so improves the quality of
milk as to make a given quantity Of
milk produce more butterfat at one
time than another. OF course, the
greater the quantity of milk, the more
cream there will be.

which cows are profitable. Testing is
