State Roads Under WAY.

The State Highway Department
finds that the processes necessary
to obtain federal aid in the con-
struction OF state roads move more
slowly than was anticipated. State
and federal aid projects for road
construction 10 Cole and Jasper
counties we're completed by the de-
partment and submitted to the
United States Office of Public
Roads in July. State Highway En-
eineer Graham was notified that
the projects were in proper form,
but final approval has been DELAYED
because of the amount of red tape"
necessary to be unwound in pass
ing the projects through various
hands before they reach the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, who must ap.
prove all federal aid projects sub
mitted by the various states. Owing
to this delay, arrangements were
completed during the past three
weeks to use state road funds, with
out combining with federal money
to match dollars with counties
which are now ready to begin the
construction of state roads.
Under this arrangement actual
construction of state road in
Taney county. between Branson
and the Arkansas line, is now un-
der way, while the surveys have
been completed and work will be-
gin this week on state road project
in Montgomery county, Arrange
ments have also Deen made TO be-
gin this week the survey of the
state road which will connect JEFF
ferson City and Columbia,
The State Highway Department
has practically finished its task of
checking up the 300 miles of in
ter county seat highways in Mis-
souri,, making proper appOrtionment
of 100000 road drag fund, and ex-
aminine the plans and specifica-
tions submitted by the ia coun-
ties to obtain their proportionate
share of the 1917 appropriation of
100000 to assist in the perma-
nent improvement of county roads.
All counties are urged to prepare
and submit surveys of officially
designated state roads as soon as
possible, so that there may be no
delay in the construction of these
roads.
The State Highway Department
takes the position. in which it is
supported by government authori-
ties, that federal funds can be used
to best advantage on projects in
volvine large expenditure, as this
will provide for inspection on
the 3 per cent basis allowed by the
federal aid road act State aid,
without federal funds, can be bet
ter applied on smaller projects, thus
eliminating the necessity of elabo-
rate and expensive surveys requir-
ed by the government, and enabling
counties to proceed with the con-
struction of state roads under the
direct supervision Of the State
Highway Engineer without delay.

Ely Road Selected.

A TELEGRAM was received last
week from the State Highway de-
partment. stating that the Hannibal.
West Ely road had been selected as
one through Marion county to re-
ceive state and national aid. As
the road now stands it runs from
Hannibal twelve miles through
Marion county to the Rails county
line, but an effort is being made to
have the Ocean to Ocean Highway
changed so that it will 90 through
Warren township to within a dis
tance of two miles from Monroe
City. and in that case the distance
through Marion county would be
about twenty-five miles The
Hannibal.West Ely road is now
being rebuilt by the county at a
cost of $4,000 per mile, and even if
no change in the route is made
Highway Engineer Ely tells us the
county will received from the

of the transportation facilities of
the country, need no longer exists
for the IS per cent advance the rail-

to be such a good thing il would
be as equal good if the government

SPREAD THE MANURE
DIRECT FROM WAGON
Several Good and Substantial
Reasons for CONCERNING
Practice of Pilinq It.

(By H. T. FRENCH. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins, Colo.)
A common practice in farming Sec
lions is still followed. that Of hauling
manure from the yards and stables to
the field, and instead Of scattering the
manure. placing it in piles. There are
several reasons why this should not be
done; first, it offers a breeding place
for flies and insects, and a harbor for
mice and other vermIn. Second, and
more important, there is a consider
able loss In the effect Of the manure
by teaching and unequal distribution
Of its fertilizing Ingredients.
Wherever the piles are made the
ground will receive more than Its share
Of the fertilizer and other portions will
not get fair show. 1t Is a mistaken
notion that much of the fertilizing
value will escape In the air II the ma
nure is spread at once. The soil will
catch the valuable constituents from
the melting snow and rain, and even
dew will cnrry some Of them into the
soil. The third reason is important
also, and that is in the economy Of
spreading the manure direct from the
wagon as soon as hauled to the field,
rather than to handle 1t again in
spreading from the piles.

MINERAL MATTER IS
ESSENTIAL FOR cows
Ordinary Rations Do Not Contain
Sufficient Amount Of Mate
rial for Milk.

Dairy cows ordinarily cannot digest
from rations Of the usual character
sufficient mineral matter to meet the
demands made by heavy milk produc-
ton. This conclusion has been reach
ed by nutrition experts at the Ohio ex-
pertinent station after two years in
vestigations with cows yielding large
quantities Of milk.
These specialists also say that even
when the common practical rations
are supplemented with large amounts
Of calcium carbonate and bone flour,
the cows still give of more lime than
they can digest from their rations. To
meet this demand for heavy milk pro-
duction the cows must draw upon the
mineral substances Of their skeletons.
Further attempt is being made, by
the use Of more readily soluble lime
salts, to learn whether a COW can alb
sorb as much lime as she gives OF
during heavy milk production.
The results obtained thus far en-
phasise the value Of leguminous rough
ages in milk production. Without lib
eral allowance Of such feeds the loss
Of minerals from the bones becomes
excessive, and predisposes to disorders
Of nutrition.
