new LEESBURG ROUTE
CUTS OFF TEN MILES
Distance Can Soon Be Covered in
Hours Spin.

From the Washington Headquarters OF
| the American Automobile Association
comes the cheering news for motorists.
that there will soon be a good direct auto
mobile road to Leesburg. a distance Of
thirty-fiye miles. This new route will
eliminate the necessity of travelling via
Rockville, Darnstown, Dawsonvtlle and
Whites Ferry. which is not only ten miles
longer but includes six miles of unfinished
road; also the Inconvenience of crossing
| Whites Ferry adds to the discomfort of
\ this particular route. However Il has
been necessary to follow the ferry route
because OF the miserable condition of the
! road on the shorter trip via Tysons, Va.
Conditions are rapidly changing and n
| will be only matter of a few weeks be-
fore the bad stretch between Tyson's
! Cross Roads and Dranesville will be
eliminated and Leesburg will be but an
hours spin from Washington This poor
section Is passable at nearly all times
OF the year, but the rough winding course
Is great hindrance to speed; however,
this condition now exists for only one and
half miles beyond Tysons, where one
enters on the new dragged portion, which
continues to improve on to Leesburg.
A detailed survey has Just been made
by the A. A. A. and will soon be pub,
lished in map form for distribution to
members. The log OF the route is as

INCREASE IN DAIRY PROFITS
Have Cows Freshen In Fall
More Milk Produced.

Because more milk would be pro-
duced In the year and calves would be
raised cheaper, farmers find II most
profitable to have their cows freshen
in the fall months. Cows bred now will
drop calves by early fall.
The cow gives large flow Of milk
at the beginning of the period Of lac
tation. In the spring the milk yield,
which gradually falls off, is suddenly
increased when the cow is turned on
fresh pasture.
Calves born in the fall need mainly
milk and eat little grain during the
period of winter feeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high
priced feeds during the following win
ter, when they are older and thus eat
more. The fall-born calf at the same
age needs only pasture.
AT the Ohio experiment station
some calves born in the fall were
raised for about $5 less than others
born in the spring. Under average
farm conditions this difference would
be fed to fall-born calves on pasture,
while those at the station were given
grain because Of shortage Of pasture.

was given two gallons of milk day.
The whole milk calves made the best
gains the first three months but during
the next three months the skim milk
calves nearly caught up, the four lack
ing but Is pounds of weighing as much
as the whole milk calves, and several
expert cattlemen who examined the
two lots pronounced the calves in lot
b in as thrifty a condition as those In
lot A. The saving in using skim milk
and flax in place of the whole milk
amounted to $40 per calf for the six
month period. The grain and hay cost
the same for both lots.

SKIM MILK FOR DAIRY CALVES
Found to Be Nearly Equal in Value to
Whole Milk in Experiment at
North Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is
to cut down the period of whole milk
feeding. At the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station, two lots of four
calves each were fed as follows: Whole
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and One-half skim milk till six
months old. Lot B, after three weeks
old, was fed skim milk with flaxseed.
Just enough fax was added to supply
as much fat as was given the calves in
lot A in their whole milk. Each calf
