A prominent speaker will be invited

Breeding For Sho,O
Ring Not Certain to
Bring Permanent Profit

| Manila, Sept. 29.--C. A. Saunders Of
| c. A. Saunders & Sons, breeders of the
| famous Cumberland's type shorthorn.
| on the Cumberland stock farm, two
and one half miles southwest of this
| place, has great confidence in the
future of the thousand dollar COW, hui
declares that she will never prove a
| good investment for the man who is
\ not good stock man.
The beginning of my success in the
| thoroughbred business was with a COW
| which cost me $3.50" declared Mr.
Saunders while talking with the Non
pareil farm department field man the
| other day.
The COW gave me one good calf and
then became worthless. This calf was
the foundation of the Cumberland herd
but had 1t not been for this one ami
| NAL my investment would have been q
| total loss. The risk connected with the
handling OF this high grade stock is
enormous and the man who starts out
With the idea that all he needs to do
is to purchase some top price animals
and then await the profits is bound to
fail.
During fhe years that | have been
developing the type which has recently
reached the top I have seen many men
fail in the business. I have seen ami
mails that had every promise taken
away from the sale ring to 90 to mar
ket within year. II takes more than
good animal 10 make good herd
In answer to a question Of whether
81 000 was not paid for COW with the
idea that a good portion of the money
spent would go into advertising for the
purchaser and his herd, Mr.. Saunders
admitted that this was really the case
too often for the good of the business.
Unless breeder is in the business
with an eye upon the actual profit TO
be made thru the development OF
high grade animals for the market his
string will soon run out. The breeding
of show animals alone never will be
profitable. Unless man is able by
the purchase of one or two good ami
mails TO improve the strain so that the
market value of his product is in
creased 10 cover the additional ex-
pense of the original thoroushbreds

his activities are not upon suhstan-
tial foundation. If some of the results
of his careful breeding develop show
material. we'll and good. let him show
them and win prizes, but il has been
my experience that it is much better
to breed with my eyes upon the market
rather than the show ring
while there has been wonderful de-
velopment in the thoroughbred bust
ness within the past twenty or thirty
years. there is still great field for
Improvement, believe. and l shall
continue my efforts to secure the better
animal, though I realize that there is
certainly a limit to what an animal is
worth in the sale ring or any place
else. How we'll I realize this may be
shown by the fact that / do not pre-
pare my sale animals with the expec-
tation of $1,000 average, though my

TAXPAYERS GETTING MUCH MORE

IOWA HIGHWAYS.
HIGHWAY ENGINEERS
SATISFYING FIGURES

pecial 10 Times Republican.

| Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines. Sept. e9.-Thomas II.
Macdonald. of Ames, highway engineer
for the state highway commission, says
/ that fully nifty per cent OF the money
spent on the highways now goes to
bridges. These bridges are being built
TO last and are all in the nature of per-
manent improvements.
The state auditors report for 1916
shows that in the past two years high
way taxes have decreased to the amount
of sSl4.OS0.63 in SPITE OF the fact that
more permanent bridge building and 4
greater amount Of work on the roads
has been done than ever before. In
fact in the past year alone there has
been saving of about 100000 in the
highway tax. In 1914 the total high
way tax was s11.l6o,26s.5e. while in
1916 it amounted to slo.346,osSl7.
In 1915. according to Mr.. Macdonald,
there was expended Sl3,500,0 00 on high
ways and bridges in Iowa. OF this
amount s3,S00.000 was spent on coun-
ty roads and s3.500.00o went to town
ship roads. This makes s6.s00.000 out
of the s13.50o0o0 which was expended
on roads. The remainder or $500. 600
in round numbers. was spent on bridges.
And in fact s250,0o0 of this money
spent on county roads was in reality
spent on bridges for it went to pay for
filing in bridges and culverts but it Is
charged to the road fund.
Actual Cost Less.
Considerable satisfaction is express
ed by those who have been watching
the progress of the state highway COM
mission over the fact that while more
permanent bridges and better bridges
are being built than ever before in the
history of the state and that while the
highways in general are in better con-
dition the actual cost to the taxpayers
has been less. due to the business like
supervision OF the state highway COM
mission.
1t is recognized that the maintenance
cost Of the highways in Iowa is increas-
ing all of the time. Road dragging is
required and grading and drainage. In
fact a higher standard OF dirt road is
demanded and is being secured. There
are over 100000 miles of roads in Iowa.
Added to the cost of permanent bridge
building is this increased cost of main
tenance. To have highway taxes de-
crease over 100000 in the past two
years in the face of the increased cost
of maintenance and of the permanent
bridge building is a showing which re-
fleets credit on the highway commits
sion. in the opinion of those who are
watching the work now being done.

oats for Iowa, resistant to rust. bu,

strains now grown in the state.
They will first determine which OF
the ninety or more oat varieties grown
in the country are resistant to rust,
both crown and black stem. AS it hap
pens, every oat variety grown in Iowa
is susceptible to rust. Crosses will then
be made between the resistant varie-
ties and the susceptible ones to get the
desirable qualities on the resistant
oats.
The work is being done in cooper
alton with the federal department Of
flee of cereal disease investigation.
This is the only work of its kind on
oat rust being done in the United
States.
Attic il may take FIVE years or more

NUMBER ALL COUNTY HOMES.
Highway Commission Suggests They
Be Designated Like City Houses.

Numbering OF country roads and
residences so that every road and
country home may be Instantly located,
is advocated by the service bulletin OF
the Iowa state highway commission,
which is just off the press. The sys-
tenn advocated was originally sug-
gested last June.
In the system suggested, the section
upon which the state capitol is located
is considered the central point and all
roads are numbered north, east, south
and west from this Using the base
map appearing in the bulletin, one can
easily locate the number of his road
and house.
The system is so arranged that prac-
tically every road bears the same
designation across the state. The
numbering system does not in any way
interfere with the use of the names
OF organized tourists routes such as
Lincoln Highway and others.

Raising Hogs on Alfalfa.

Robert Hairsine. living nine mile!

a stones throw Of the Missouri river
has accomplished something in hos
raising that would be remarkable even

Mr. Hairsine has. successfully dem
onstrated the remarkable value Of al
falfa in hog feeding.
There are nineteen acres of alfalfa
on the Hairsine place and on May
the spring pigs were turned out into
this field. There were sixty pigs in. the
lot but Mr.. HaTsine declares that the
alfalfa, grown in the very sandy soil
was ample for twice that many as he
made cutting over great portion ID
the field.
These pigs were permitted to run
about over the field and no other feed
was given them until Sept. % They
are large boneG, we'll developed Duroc
Jerseys. In prime shape for feeding
now and Mr.. Hairsine declares. and
bases his assertion upon experience.
that these fellows will put on mea!
faster and in better proportion than
animals raised by any other process OF
feeding. Green corn, Just about an
ear apiece at a feeding. is now, being
given them.
Mr.. Hairsine handles nothing but
thoroughbre hogs and good ones at
that. as any man in the bu:dness can
tell you, His sales are we'll, attended

man. He attributes his success in re :
