RAISE FUNDS FOR HIGHWAYS
Important Savings Effected by Issu
anee of Bonds on Deferred Serial
Retirement Plan.

People of a county intending 10 raise
funds for highway improvement would
do well to consider the advantages to
them of the deferred serial plan over
the ordinary sinking-fund plan Of re-
firing Iong-term bonds. Under the Sc
rial plan, a certain amount Of bonds
is retired each year and the bonds so
retired cease to be an interest charge
on the community. Under the sink
ing-fund plan none OF the bonds is re-
tirabIe until the end Of a definite
period, and the entire sum raised bears
interest for the entire life OF the bond.
The county, therefore, pays interest
on the money so borrowed and in adj
tlition sets aside each year as a sink

and unable to rise. This condition may
result from paralysis, from azoturia,
from forage poisoning, from Iockjaw,
or from painful conditions of the
bones or feet, such as bighead or
founder. Lying down at unusual times
or in unusual positions may indicate
disease. The first symptom of collie
may be a desire on the part of the
horse to lie down at an unusual or
inappropriate time or place. Some
times disinclinatiOn to lie down is an
indication of disease. When there is
difficulty in breathing, the horse
knows that he can manage himself bet
ter upon his feet than upon his breast
or his side. In nearly all serious dis
eases of the respiratory tract he stands
persistently, day and night, until re-
covery has commenced and breathing
is easier, or until the animal falls
from sheer exhaustion. If there is
stiffness and soreness of the muscles,
as in rheumatism, Inflammation of the
muscles from Overwork, or OF the
bones in bighead, or of the feet in
founder, or if the muscles are stiff
and beyond control of the animal, as
in Iockjaw, a standing position is main
tanned, because the horse seems to
realize that when he lies down he will
be unable to rise. a horse with collie
may sit upon his launches, like dog,
or may stand upon his hind feet and
rest upon his knees in front, or he
may endeavOr to balance himself upon
his back, with all four feet in the air.
These positions are assumed because
they give relief from pain by lessen
ing pressure or tension upon the SEN
sitive structures.
By observing the condition of nutri-
ton one may be able to determine to
a certain extent the effect that the dis
ease has already had upon the animal
and to estimate the amount Of strength
that remains and that will be available
for the repair Of the diseased tissues.
A good condition is shown by rotun-
dity OF the body, pliability and soft
ness of the skin, and the tone Of the
hair. When the bony prominences
stand out, the skin is tight and inelas-
tic, and the coat dry and harsh, low
state of nutrition is indicated. This
may have resulted from a severe and
long-continued disease or from lack Of
proper feed and care. When an ami
NAL becomes thin, there is first q loss
of fat and later the muscles shrink.
The amount of shrinkage in the mus
cles is an indication of the duration Of
the unfavorable conditions under which
the animal has lived.

treatment is continued for long time
the animal may become permanently
Stunted.
Stunning an animal as the result of
insufficient food may be only tempo
rary condition. An animal does not
lose it's capacity to grow as the result
of stunning. F. B. Mumford, dean of
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
cites a feeding test at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station in which an animal
that had been stunted by poor feeding
to such an extent that it weighed only
200 pounds at twelve months of age,
gained 81 pounds during the second
year. Only So pounds of grain for
each pound of gain made were re-
Quired on this steer stunted during the
first twelve months. A steer that had
been generously fed during the first
twelve months of his life gained only
800 pounds during the second twelve
months, and this gain was more expen-
sive than the gain made on the stunted
steer. The amount of grain required
to make a pound of gain on the we'll
fed steer was 9.S pounds.
It is certain that stunning an animal
even for so long a period as twelve
months does not destroy it's capacity
to grow.

GAINS MADE FEEDING LAMBS
Result Of Test at South Dakota Station
to Determine Value Of Alfalfa
and Prairie Hay.

The best gains ever secured at the
South Dakota experiment station in
feeding lambs was in an experiment
Ito determine the comparative value
OF alfalfa and prairie hay with the
same kind Of grain ration.
The grain ration consisted of a mix
ture Of 100 pounds of oats, 100 pounds
OF shelled corn and % pounds of oil
meal.
Each lot was started on one pound
per head Of the mixture daily, and in
creased until they were receiving two
and one-tenths pounds per head of
grain daily, and what hay they would
eat.
The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay
was 81 of pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the aver
age daily gain per head was 80 of a
pound.

ing fund an amount sufficient to retire
all the bonds when they become due.
The sinking fund is deposited with
banks and earns some interest. This
interest ordinarily is only per cent
whereas the county has to pay or
per cent to its bondhOIderS. The serial
plan is a much cheaper method of rails
ing money for road improvement, even
when the sinking fund earns interest
as high as per cent, and in the Opin-
ion Of the road specialists Of the de
partment of agriculture, should be
utilized whenever it is possible to

WEIGHT AND QUALITY
ARE BIG ESSENTIALS
Heavy Demand, but Small Sup
ply of Large, Sound Animals,
Says Kansas Expert.

Weight combined with quality Is
the prime essential in determining the
value Of a work horse, in the opinion
of DR.. G. W. McCampbeIl, associate
professor of animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
To-day the demand is the greatest
and the supply the smallest for. the big,
sound, smooth, well made, easy-going
horse with substance and quality said
Doctor McCampbell. ''Such horses can
be produced only by breeding the best
farm mares to the best purebred draft
stations. Then the colt FROM this
mating must be literally fed from the
time he begins to eat until maturity"
Prices for work horses of different
weights have ranged on the Chicago
market during the last year approx
mately as follows: ], 800 to LOO pound
horses, $50 to S1S5; 1,4O0 to 1,5O0
pound horses, $1S5 to $215; 1,500 to
LOGO pound horses, S215 to $3.50; 800
pounds or more, $3.50 to $500.

MOST PROFITABLE SIDE LINE
Cost of Raising Turkeys Is Small
Where Free Range Can Be Given
Some Important Factors.

For those who are favorably stu
ated for raising turkeys, more profit
able side line can hardly be found.
Given plenty of range where the tur-
keys can find grasshOppers and other
insects, green vegetation, the seeds Of
weeds and grasses, waste grain, acorns
and nuts of various kinds, the cost of
raising them is very small and the
profits large. Grain and stock farms
are particularly well adapted to turkey
raising, and it is on such farms that
most of the turkeys are found. Little
has ever been done in the way of rails
ing turkeys in confinement, and where
it has been tried the results have been
discouraging. Plenty of range is es-
sential to success in turkey raising.
In selecting turkeys for breeding,
the most important factors to be con-
sidered are vigor, size, shape, bone,
early maturity and color of plumage.
The body should be deep and wide, the
back broad and the breast round and
full. The head should be of good size
and of clean. healthy appearance. A
strong, well-made skeleton is shown
by thick, sturdy shanks and straight,
strong toes. It should be the aim of
every turkey raiser to have a flock of
purebred turkeys, even though they

EVerybody's Son but Mine.

are sold at market prices. The male
at the head of the flock should by all
means be a purebred of the best type
Obtainable. The male is one-ha1f the
entire flock, and by continually select
ing the best females of a similar type
and mating these with a purebred
male, one can soon have a flock of uni
formly large, early-maturing, strong
boned, long and deep-bodied turkeys of
the same color.
Fifteen turkey hens can safely be
mated to a vigorous tom. II % or 30
hens are kept, two toms should not be
allowed to run with them at the same
time, but one should be confined one
day and the other the next. When
two toms are allowed to run together
during the mating season they fight
badly and the stronger does practically
all OF the mating.

DISPOSE OF DEAD CHICKENS
Practice of Permitting carcasses to
Lie About Premises is Poor One
Burning Is Best.

The practice of allowing dead
chickens to lie about the premises or
in the brooders and of throwing them
over the fence for the hogs to eat, are
decidedly bad, and directly responsible
for large losses each year by causing
and distributing disease, writes n. h.
Becker in Farm and Home.
Burning is the safest and easiest
method for disposing OF dead fowls.
The coal-burning brOOder stoves will
take care OF any losses among small
flocks and where considerable num-
bers Of fowls are kept small laundry
stove or alright heater set up in the
