INTEREST IN ROAD BUILDING
Until Farmer Becomes Owner Of Mo-
tor Car He Is Apt to Be conserVa-
tive on Highway Question.

Never, perhaps, has there been so
much interest taken in road building
as is being taken now. This is
caused largely by the automobile. Just
in proportion as the number of auto
mobiles increases the interest in road
building increases.
Until he becomes TIE owner of an
automobile the farmer is apt to be
mighty conservative on the question
of roads, says the Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Often he objects on the
ground that making good roads in
creases his taxes and only affords
pleasure way for the automobile JOY
riders. AS soon, however, as he be-
comes the Cwner of an automobile, he
becomes a good ROADS booster and
has little patience with the man who
talks against good roads.
We are, however, learning a lot
about building roads and still have a
good deal to learn. 1t looks now as
if the concrete road might be the last
word in road building and prove in
the long run to be the cheapest road
that can be built. Finally, however,
it is quite possible that the flying ma
chine will reach such state of perfec-
tion that flying machines will be as
common as automobiles are now, and
the need for roads Tor pleasure riding
will be greatly lessened.
Middletown transcript., 1916-05-27

and pour some oil on the roads the
thing would be done and our trouble
would be over. While we are of the
opinion that, if rightly done, oiling
would be a great help, we are equally
of the opinion that if not rightly done
it will simply be waste of money,
writes T. T. Smith of Montgomery
county, Illinois, in Farmers Review.
To begin with, the road must be
so shaped that water cannot stay on
it; it must be so graded up in the
center and the bitches so opened at
the sides that the water will run off
quickly, and it must be kept in this
shape. or oiling will be Of very little
use. In fact, if we would only do thS
work necessary to fit the roads for
oiling, we would have fairly good
roads-such roads as could be used
by an automobile most of the time.
We haven't read of or heard of an
expert on the oiling question but who
says that before oiling the roadbed
must be put in proper shape and after
oiling it must be kept in shape. If
this is not done we will be disap-
pointed in the job. While we yield to
no one in the desire for better roads,
we are not very sanguine about oiling
under present conditions. Judging by
the work done by the majority OF COM
missiOners of highways, We have grave
doubt about its advisability and we
wish to repeat if we will only put the
roads i'll proper condition and keep
them in that condition. we will have
good roads without oiling.

SUGGESTIONS MADE
FOR TESTING MILK
Sample Should Be Taken Quickly
in Order to Get Correct Test
Plan Outlined.

(By G. P CNWIN, Oklahoma Expert.
ment Station.)
Testing milk is the process of find
ing the amount of butterfat it con"
tains. In order to make an accurate
test a correct sample must be taken
in this manner: The milk should be
poured from one vessel to another and
the sample quickly taken, for if the
sample is not taken at once, more or
less cream will rise, and sample
would not be correct.
After getting the sample for testing
the next step would be to measure 17.5
&C with the milk pipette into the milk
bottle, and then add about the same
amount of sulphuric acid, depending
on the strength of the acid. The spe-
cffic gravity Of the acid should be 1872
to 1888 for the best results.
The acid should be added with the
acid cylinder, revolving the bottle
while adding the acid Mix acid and
milk by rotary motion. Place them in
tester so that the machine is balanced.
Run the machine for about five min
utes. Then add hot water until the fat
rises into the neck of bottles. Then
run the tester about two minutes and
add enough water so the fat has risen
above the zero mark on the neck of
the bottle. The bottle may then be
read by using a pair of dividers to
measure the fat column.

ARSENATE OF LEAD
KILLS CHERRY SLUG
When Cherries Are Half Grown
Use Either White HeIIebore
or "BIaCk Leaf 40."
(By c. P. GILLETTE. Agricultural Col
Iege, Fort Collins, Colo.)

(By c. P. GILLETTE. Agricultural Col
Iege, Fort Collins, Colo)
Whether or not the cherry trees
bear a crop, they should be protected
against the loss of foliage from the
attacks of the pear and cherry tree
slug. When the cherries are very
small. the trees may be sprayed with
arsenate of lead in the proportion OF
one pound of the paste to each 50 gal
Ions of water.
Instead of using the arsenate of
lead, after the cherries are half grown
or more, use either white hellebore
in the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons of water, or BLACK Leaf 40'
in the proportion of one part to 800
parts of water. and make a thorough
spraying for the purpose of covering
the upper surfaces of the leaves.
The BLACK Leaf 4O'' will only kill
the slugs with which it comes in con-
tact, while the hellebore will kill all
slugs that eat it for several days after
the application is made.
The advantage of using the helle-
bore or "Black Leaf 40" after the fruit
is well grown is that they do not en-
danger the people who eat the cher
ries after they are ripe.
If one has only few small cherry
trees, the slugs may be quite easily
removed by thoroughly busting the
foliage in the heat of the day with
air-slaked lime or fine road dust.

POINTS IN SEEDING
ALFALFA FOR STAND
Soil Is PIOWed in Spring or Fall
and Lined if Necessary
Keep Weeds Down.

For the beginner seeding the alfalfa
alone gives the best results The soil
is plowed in the fall or early spring
and lined if necessary. Then the field
is disked and narrowed often enough
up to the 1st of June or July to clean
the land of weeds.
On average fields this weed killing
process need not be continued later
than the first week in June. but with
a weedy soil it is well to harrow and
disk until July or August. The field
is then ifloculated and the alfalfa
seeded at not less than 20 pounds per
acre.
With a favorable season one crop
or two crops of hay are sometimes
secured before September I, but this
is entirely dependent on the rainfall
and soil conditions.

They cannot be constructed accord
ing to the above plan where the soil
is so sandy that it will not stand up.
In such cases it is necessary to put in
a retaining wall of masonry, the eX-
pense of which will usually be as
much as the construction of a silo
above ground.
These pit silos are not only very
economical to build, but they can be
filed very cheaply, as only light en-
gines and cutters are necessary for
this purpose. They are particularly to
be recommended for the small isolated
farmer of the great plains region, who
wishes to own his siIo-filling machin-
cry. and whose available capital is linn

ing apparatus. either a swinging crane
or an overhead track is used, lifting the
silage in a container with hinged
bottom. so that the feed may be dump
ed into a wagon box or silage distrib-
TtOr as desired In cases where an
overhead track is used, the feed may
be taken directly from the container
and placed before the animals. The
experience of farmers who have been
using the pit also is very satisfactory,
and this will undoubtedly be the prin-
cipal type of silo built in the future
in the semiarid sections.
