partments supervised the maintenance
of nearly $1,000 miles of main and
trunk-line roads.
The increase in expenditures for
road and bridge work in the United
States has been from approximately
S80,000,000 per year in 1904 to about
$282, 100000 in 1915, an increase of
more than 250 per cent. The expendi-
ture of state funds during this same
period increased from about $2,550OO0
to more than S53OOO,OOO. In addition,
more than SGT 100000 of local funds
was spent under state supervision in
1915, bringing the total road and
bridge expenditures managed by the
states to $SO,415,699. This amount is
greater than the total expenditures for
roads and bridges from all sources in
1904.
An increase in the uses of better and
more expensive types of roads also Is
shown by the recently compiled statis-
tics. This development has been due,
in large part, to the great increase in
automobile traffic. 1t is estimated
that there are now approximately two
and one-half million automobiles in
use of the roads of the country, or
one car for every mile of road. This
present motor traffic is in excess Of
traffic of all sorts u years ago.
The cash road and bridge expendi-
lures of the United States averaged
only $2S per mile of rural roads in
1904. In 1915 this average had grown
to 500 per mile. New Jersey led all
other states, both in 1904 and in 1915,
with $221 and $475 per mile, respec-
lively. Nevada made the least eXpendi-
ture in both years-$3.72 per mile in
1904 and SIT per mile in 1915.

CALVES GROWN ON SKIM MILK
Cost Is Less Than Where Whole Milk
Is Fed-Animals Make Better
Gains in the Feed Lot.

The cost Of growing calves on skim
milk was less than where whole milk
was fed, or where the calves ran with
their dams, and the skim-milk calves
made better gains when put into the
feed lot than the others did, accord
ing to some experimental work at the
Kansas station.
1t cost 1925 per 100 pounds gain on
the calves fed on skim milk, $3.50 per
100 pounds gain on whole milk, and
SAL per 100 pounds gain where the
calves ran with their dams. When
these same calves were put into the
feed lot the skim-milk calves made the
fastest gains and the whole-milk calves
next.

"GENTLEw BULL DOES INJURY
Few "Don'ts" Given by Expert Of Mis-
souri, College to Be Followed
In Handling Bulls.

BY w. W. SWEET. Missouri College OF
Agricuture)
Following are few "don'ts" which
can be followed to advantage in han
ding a bull:
Don't underfeed him when young or
keep him overfat when mature.
Don't use him too heavily before he
is mature.
Don't abuse him. You can get bet
ter results by gentle but firm handling.
Don't tease him or allow children to
play with him.
Don't let him get the upper hand at
any time.
Don't let him realize his enormous
strength.
Don't keep him confined. Give him
plenty of exercise.
Don't trust any bull at any time.
1t is the gentle" bull that does the
damage.

COUNTY is BUYING TROUBLE
Road That Will Not outIast Its Cost
Is INTELLECTUALLY Becomes
a Total Loss.

When a county or township builds
n road that will not outlast its cost,
that county or township is buying
trouble and paying cash for it. 1t
borrows money to buy a liability
creates a debt to buy something that
will be continual expense until it
finally becomes n total loss through
being worn out. And borrowing
money to build road that will not
last under modern traffic conditions is
unsOund finance.

LIVING ON NEGLECTED. ROAD
No Man Can Be Cheerful and Neigh
borly, Nor Can He Be a Really
Good Citizen.

The man who wrote the famous line
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road" had in mind, of course,
a good road. No man can be cheer
full and neighborly, no man can be
a really good citizen, if he lives in
house by the side of a neglected road.
Then men who pass his place can't
be cheerful. How is the road at your
farm, Mr.. Farmer? - Reclamation
