RIGHT PASTURE FOR CALVES
Most Young Animals Better Of In the
Barn Than Fighting Flies In
the Hot Fields.
Ry r. NJ. MAsHBURN.l

While 1t is very important that heif.
ers should have free access to pasture
during the second summer, to develop
strong bodies, the calf need not have
pasture the first summer. In fact, for
calves born after the first of the year,
pasturing may be a disadvantage.
Most young calves in this country are
better off chewing tender hay in the
quiet and half-dark stable than fight
ing flies, painting from the heat, and
cropping tough grass in the pasture.

repairs, such as patching, cleaning
culverts, ETC., and from $500 to $425
per year was the necessary annual
charge in order to resurface at pc
RODS varying from six to seven years.
The sum OF 1925 per mile, on an aver
age. should therefore maintain mac
adam roads If changes and increases
Of traffic are not excessive. 1t must
be understood, however that in many
instances where macadam sufiiced for
the volume and character of traffic
prior to 1906, it will not Withstand the
action of the motor vehicle traffic
which has developed since that time
Many miles OF ordinary or water
bound macadam road have been re
surfaced with bituminous materials,
and many miles of new bituminous
macadam have been constructed. The
logical maintenance of such highways
Is surface treatment with bitumi-
nous material and rock screenings,
clean gravel, or sharp sand. The cost
Of such surface treatment is from
to IL cents per square yard, and it
may be expected to last from one to
three years, according to the density
Of traffic and the success of the appli-
cation. theoretically, perfect surface
treatment would constitute absolute
maintenance for a bituminous-mac-
adam road. Such maintenance ia
seldom or never realized and bitumi-
nous-macadam roads doubtless require
resurfacing at intervals. The cost of
such resurfacing is not yet known.
Repair and Maintenance.
The average cost for repair and
maintenance of 1900 miles of highway
in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey and Rhode Island,
for the year 1912, was about $500 per
mile. A large part of this money was
expended for bituminous resurfacing
and bituminous surface treatment.
There is some question whether the
expenditure correctly measures the
average cost of repairing and main-
tanning bituminous-macadam roads.
In the state of New York, however,
for the years 1911 and 1912 the aver
age cost for repair and maintenance
was 1924 per mile upon total aver
age of 1851 miles. The annual cost
OF repair and maintenance on Massa-
chusetts state roads for the years
1910, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively,
$642, $647 and $676 per mile for about
$50 miles. For the most part these
figures for New York and Massachu.
sets represent the cost per mile of
resurfacing with bituminous material
and Of maintaining bituminous-macad-
am and water-bound macadam roads
by surface treatment with bituminous
material. 1t is clear, therefore, that
for heavy traffic trunk line roads 500
per mile Is not an excessive estimate
at present for the annual cost of all
repair and maintenance on bitumi-
nous-macadam roads.

When you wake up with backache

authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to filter IT from the blood and they be-
come sort OF paralyzed and loggy.

body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have

en- get sore, water scalds and you are
OBLIGED to seek relief two or three

Either consult a good, reliable physi.

take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com.

The problem of maintaining high
ways constructed with borrowed
money should be given as much con-
sideration as is devoted to the more
permanent features of the roadbed.
1t has not been customary for Off
Gals to face frankly the cost Of the
maintenance and repair of bond-built
issued and before construction begins.
AS a matter of fact, Investigations
made by the department show that in
the majority of cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method of building highways by
issuing bonds.
Maintenance is necessary in order
to insure to the community the maxi.
mum economic service by the road,
and also to preserve the investment
The cost of maintenance and repairs
must, therefore, be studied at the
outset. In the absence Of general
data, the reports on maintenance from
states which have highway depart
ments should be Of interest to county
officers preparing to issue road-build.
ing bonds.
Cost Of Maintenance.
The following opinions as to main.
tenance cost represent the results of
carafnl apalvaaa of ufata hi0h1yay no
ports, as well as much first-hand in
formation gathered by the depart
ment's specialists:
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
farm traffic without showing marked
been no maintenance. Such roads
sometimes actually improve during
the second season; more frequently,
however, they show ruts or chuck
holes. It cannot be expected that the
average life Of a gravel surface will
be greater than that Of macadam
surface, which in the New England
and eastern states is between six and
seven years. If a sum equal to two
thirds of the original cost of the
gravel surface itself is provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, it
should be estimated at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per mile per year. II $50 is then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs, the total annual cost Of re-
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $3.50 to $3.50 per mile.
The annual cost OF maintenance alone
is sometimes below $50. In Ben
nington county, VT, during 1912, ITS
miles of gravel roads we're maintained
at cost of 5000 per mile. The an
nual cost of maintenance and repair
on sand-clay roads, including all nee
essary resurfacing at periodic inter.
walls, should not be fixed at less than
10 per cent of the original cost.
What Figures Show.
The cost of repair and maintenance
for water-bound macadam roads has
been determined with considerable ex-
actness from Massachusetts figures
and checked by resurfacing charges in
other states and in Germany. Prior
to 1913, from 500 to $125 per year
