How you hated them, how You fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of

der and neatness, but failed to appre-
ciate the value of time. He saw that
his hogs were no different than others
and were crowding each other at the
trough. He straightway went to his
shop, brought out his square, saw,
hammer, some nails, and few other
things, and spent an hour carefully
fitting some cross-pieces to the
trough. 1t served the purpose and in
addition was Incorporating OBJ. All
the time, however, his team had been
standing idle and most important
work in the field had been neglected.
A third man saw the same trouble in
his hog lot as he went to work in the
morning, and made mental note that
it would be given attention when he
did his evening chores. At night he
grabbed the hammer, some nails,
picked up few short pieces of board,
and in few minutes had some strips
nailed across the trough. This work
served its purpose just as well as that
so carefully and painstakingly done
by the other man, and the more inn

A very valuable part of any dairy
herd is the COW that is usually termed
the persistent mixer. IL any cow
repays the cost of her keep with a
generous per cent of profit added to
thereto, this is certainly the one. Ev-
cry dairyman who has any desire to
add to the productive value of his
herd should be on the lookout for any
such cows that may be in his locality
and, when it is possible, add them to
his herd. What the progressive
dairyman is looking for and what he
must have, if he is to secure full
measure of success, is animals cap
able of taking his valuable feed and
converting it into commodity that
has a greater value. To secure such
results is an impossibility when the
herd contains cows that insist upon
being dry three or four months in the
year.
In speaking of the persistent milk
er we have reference to the COW that
does NOT seem inclined to go dry as
the time for calving draws near To
be sure, she should not be MIXED dur
ing the entire year, but it is far from
being to her discredit if she is willing
to be, for that ample proof that she

milk.
There are a great many dairymen
who, when they once secure one of
these valuable cows are almost GER
tain to lessen her value by milking
her too steadily. The demands of
nature require that any cow shall be
dry for from four to six weeks before
calving so that she has ample oppor-
tunity to regain her strength so that
she is able to properly nourish her
offspring. If this is not done the calf
is almost sure to be small and not
overly vigorous and not at all likely
to develop into frst-class onimal. In
fact, it is almost an impossibility to
develop such calves into profitable
dairy cows.
Loss is almost certain to develop
from another source, for when a COW
is not allowed a suitable period of
time, before freshening, in which her
system may rest up, she is not at all
likely to regain her old-time flow of
milk. Should this occur but once her
value may not be seriously impaired.

POULTRY
CONSUL TING DEPARTMENT
The Flock From Which to Secure
Breeding Stock

Foundation stock for flock should
be secured from a flock where for
several years most of the hens have
been good layers and for generation
after generation have maintained
vigor, health and activity. The longer
this high-laying quality has been
maintained with most of the hens in
the flock the more certain are birds
to transmit this quality to their off
spring.
The beginners who undertake trap
nesting for the first time with a flock
of moderate layers may find one or a
few hens that make high records. The
pullets from these few exceptional
hens are likely to be fair or even
poor layers and the cockerels a dis
appointment. The general charac-
teristics of the strain are stronger
than the newly developed qualities of
few members Of the flock. FIRE.
quently, if not usually, these few ex-
ceptional high-laying hens from an
ordinary flock are so exhausted after
heavy years laying that they are
never vigorous again and the chicks
Matched from their eggs are weak.
The first thing to be done with the
average farm flock is to Gull out all
undesirable birds. Severe culling
should be done in August and the
procedure should be kept up through
the other eleven months. The farm
fiocks through the country average
60 eggs a hen a year. Gull out the
old hens that have passed their use
fulness, the runty, late-hatched> pull
lets that eat but do not lay, and the
young hens that are poor layers. The
flock will then average 120 eggs a
hen a year if it is moderately we'll
bred. The egg yield per hen is
doubled and the cost of the feed re-
duced.
The highest egg producers that
have vigorous constitutions should be
mated every year with males from
mothers that have each laid 200 or
more eggs a year. Mature hens only
should be used for breeders. Hatch
no chicks for breeding stock from
pullets. 1t is easy in this way to
breed up flock that will average IL
dozen eggs a hen yearly, and per-
sistent work in this line with vigor-
Gus stock will develop flock with an

The American Highway association
reads the states a lecture on their
neglect of good roads. There are q
100000 miles of public road in the
United States. The annual expendi-
ture for construction and mainten-
ance amounts TO 100000. Yet
inadequate results are found every
where. This is due to the lack OF
continuity OF purpose, the lack of CO.
ordination in management, and the
general lack of control. OF the q
100000 miles of roadway, less than
10 per cent is really improved. I'm
provement is most instances means
a plowed furrow for drain and a
wagon load of gravel in chuck hole.
In fact there are only about 10000
miles of really good road in all the
AZ states. The trouble with highway
construction is that often waste and
graft get together.
The association has been doing
some market figuring, and it finds that
100000 miles of real highway, around
the centers of population, would re-
duce the cost of living as well as add
to the enjoyment of living. A system
is proposed whereby each of the
states could undertake the construc-
ton of 500 or 600 miles of highway
each year. Thus in twelve years or
so, with the 10000 miles of road al
ready improved, the nation would pos
sess the nucleus of fine market sys-
tenn. These roads, radiating from
the centers of consumption, could
easily be connected with the trunk
highways that are now being con-
structed in all parts of the country,
largely as result of the activity of
motor clubs.
Concentration in Washington might
mean unity and coordination, but it
would also mean increased appropria-
tions. The work belongs to the states.
1t was not, says the highway associa-
ton, until 1891, that the state of New
Jeresy took the initiative, and three
years later established a department
of public roads. Since then other
states have followed in form, but
hardly in spirit The association
places Indiana in the list of lazy
commonwealth. For all the fine
gravel roads it possessed few years
ago, Indian can, apparently, no long
er be regarded as a leader in highway
improvement. If this is true, it is
time that something were done.-In-

The Best Breed

The Best Breed
The ladeing egg breeds are the
Leghorns' the Minorcas, Hamburgs,
Anconas, and Houdans. The most
largely raised general purpose breeds
are the Rocks, the Wyandottes
Rhode Island Reds and the Orping
tons. The first three have yellow
skin and shank, the Orpingtons white
skin and shank. The chief meat
breeds are the Brahmas, the Lang
shans and the Cochins.
The general-purpose breeds are
generally preferred on the farms be-
cause both gigs and meat are largely
used on farm tables and there is an
equal interest in selling both eggs
and fowls.
The choice of varieties among the
general-purpose breeds is largely a
matter Of personal fancy. Well-bred
birds of any strain will give satisfac-
tory results under good management.
There are seven varieties of the Rock
barred, white, silver-penciled, part
ridge, Columbian and buff; eight va
rieties of the Wyandotte-white, buff.
black, golden, silver, partridge, silver
penciled and Columbian; two varieties
of the Rhode Islend Red-single-
comb and rose-comb; and three var
rieties of the Orpington-white, buff
and black.
The standard weights of mature
fowls of the leading general-purpose
breeds are:
Rhode Island Red - Cock, 8k
pounds; hens, 612 pounds.
Wyandotte-Cock, 81 pounds; hen,
6h pounds.
Rocks-Cock, 91a pounds; hen, 7h
pounds.
Orpington, Cock, 10 pounds; hen,
8 pounds.
The securing of well-bred, high
laying strain having strong vitality is
of much greater Importance than the
selection of breed or variety. Many
breeders go to extremes in breeding
for fancy points, and overlook the
characteristics that secure profits
from the markets. In the national
egg-laying contest in Missouri in 1914
the average eggs laid per hen in IL
months was, for all Wyandottes 100,
all Barred Rocks 176, all Single
Comb White Leghorns 172. and all
Single-Comb Rhode Island Reds Ill.
The several pens of each of these
breeds in the contest were sent in by
breeders. The egg records show that
some of the Leghorn breeders must
have been paying too much attention
to fancy points of plumage and comb
and too little to egg yield. Similar
conditions exist in the other breeds.

Motor Road in Mexico

What is said to be the first high
way for the exclusive use of automo-
biles ever built in Mexico was recently
finished between Tampico and Panuco,
a distance of about thirty-five miles.
1t is for the use of motor trucks and
automobiles in extensive oil opera
tons at Panuco. The highway was
constructed by the oil companies.
Heretofore transportation between
Panuco and Tampico had been by
boats on the Panuco river, compelling
oil companies to maintain expensive
gasoline launches for their officials
and other employees. Now regular
service of automobiles will be estab-
lished between the two terminals.
The county districts around Tam
pico are sadly lacking in good roads,
but it is expected that this condition

T.. Cogrovc, President of the Michigan

will be remedied rapidly. Many Of
the larger oil companies are already
spending considerable money i'm the
construction Of roads for their private
use, and later many of these high
ways probably will be connected and
made into a general system and
thrown open to the public
Plans are also on foot for a modern
highway between Tampico and Mon
terey, more than 1926 miles, and also
one between Monterey and Matamor-
as, on the Rio Grande border, about
315 miles. The states of Tamaulipas
and Neuvo Leon will aid these pro-
jects, and the federal government is
expected to aid.
Drainage i'm Road Making
One of the most important prob
lens connected with road construction
is that of securing good drainage,
says Professor III. c. Solberg of the
Wisconsin State College. bitches must
be provided on both sides of the road
way for the water to run in, with all
pockets eliminated, else the roadbed
is subject to undermining by the wa
ter. Wherever there is a natural
drain across the road culverts of suf-
ficient size should be constructed I'M
less there is ample slope to drain the
water langthwise to the next culvert
or bridge. Experience shows that the
most durable culverts are those con-
structed of concrete, provided the
work is properly done.

On most farms il is necessary to
start with chickens of mixed breed
ing. None but pure-bred males from
high-laying strain should be used.
and a pure-bred flock can soon be Sc
cured by the purchase of two or
three pure-bred yearling hens for
breeders.

but a repetition is certain to injure
her milking qualities permanently.
Quite often, when a cav has not had
the opportunity for renewing her
strength before calving, the dairyman
becomes discouraged thinking that
her best days have passed. Often
times valuable animals are sacrificed
when they could yet be made the most
valuable animals in the herd.
When, through carelessness or
oversight, COW has been allowed to
get into this sort of condition she
should not be disposed of, but steps
taken to get her back into her old
time form. This task should be COM
menced at the feed box by placing IL
beral quantities of the best ration
that can be devised before her. Give
her the best of care and then, next
year before she is to freshen, put her
dry long enough that she may rest
up well. This will, usually, if the
COW is not too far along in years,
bring her back to the old-time useful
ness. 1t is best, however, to avoid
all of this work and loss by giving
the cows such attention as will al
ways insure their being in first-class
condition for production of milk.
Watching the Corners
In farming, as in other occupations,
it is possible to spend entirely too
much time on jobs of minor impor-
lance. A man cannot afford to neg
lect the little things that need to be
done, but he can do them so well that
there will be little profit in the work.
Not long since we heard story which
will serve as a splendid illustration:
In a certain hog lot cared for by a
very busy man was long trough. In
feeding the hogs he saw that the big
ones were crowding the others away
so that they were not getting their
proper share of the feed. He kept
saying to himself, "When | get time
I'll nail some strips across that
trough" but the time never came. The
hogs, went on with their crowding,
and when finished and marketed the
bunch had cost 10 to Is cents more
for each 100 pounds of pork made
than if the trough had been so ar
ranged that each hog could have had
a fair chance. In another hog lot the
man in charge had high sense of or

New Variety Of Cotton.

variety now in use.
Sufficient seed of the type which is
known as the pima, has been raised to
plant a relatively large area and will
