SAVE COST OF MAINTENANCE
Highways Which Cost Most at First
Are Always Cheapest to Keep
In Good Condition.

(By r. ". GAY, Mississippi Experiment
Station.)
With the recently awakened interest
in the cause Of good roads the ques-
ton Of financing road building is Of
first Importance. How road building
can be paid for is not the only serious
question, however, but which one Of
several possible methods of construc-
ton will best suit the needs of the
community and give the people the
best roads at as small cost as possible
within the limit of the available funds.
The first cost may be only a small
part of the total. Roads must be
maintained in good condition, and the
cheapest road is the one that costs
least per year to build and keep in
shape for travel. In New York state
1t was found cheaper to expend $685. 600
a mile in the construction of brick
highways than to pay from $500 to
$4,000 a mile for macadam because
of the difference in cost of upkeep.
To save maintenance expense the
idea of present economy must not be
allowed to %overshadow the Importance
OF building permanent highways. As
a rule the roads which cost the most
at first will be the cheapest to MAIN
tain.

RATION FOR GROWING COLTS:
Two Parts Oats and One Part Bran
Makes Suitable Feed-Add Little
Corn In Winter.

Two parts of oats preferably
crushed) and n part of bran make
a very suitable feed for growing colts!
In cold weather a little corn may bel
added not to exceed 25 per cent of the
ration. IF clover or alfalfa is used AS
half of the roughage ration, no oil
meal will be needed, but If the rough
age consists Of wild hay or corn stoverl
about 8 per cent of oil meal should be-
added to the grain ration. Where oats
is high in price and barley is plenti!
full, a ration Of crushed barley go per-
cent, bran 80 per cent, and oil meal 10
per cent should give good results.
There Is a little danger of overfeed5
ing a colt if 1t is properly exercised. A.
colt should receive at least one pound,
daily for each 100 pounds Of live
weight, and If out In the cold a little
more may be used to advantage. !
Growth can be made more rapidly
and cheaply during the first year than
at any other time, and feed should not
be spared at this time.

FARM
ANIMALS
CHANGE TYPE OF LIVE STOCK:
Except In Improvement Of Dairy Herd
II Is Tedious Process-Strive
for Uniformity.

If one wishes to change the type of
his live stock he will find various
roads open to him and he may bel
confused as to which to take. First
and most common, a sire of the de-
sired type may be bought for the
herd and year after year improve
ments may 60 on in this manner.
But it is at best a tedious process
and, except in the Improvement of
the dairy herd, it had better be avoid
ed. Life at best is not long enough
to observe very marked results by!
this method. ;
A much better method in the case Of
beef cattle, sheep and swine, If many
are kept, is to provide a few femalesj
of the desired type and also a male for,
them, the progeny Of which shall bel
kept while the old type are gradually
disposed Of. It Is surprising how qsick-|
ly the type Of the herd will be changed
Then again 1t Is possible to sell Off
the entire lot Of cattle or other live(
stock on the farm and to procure|
those Of the desired type at n time.I
This is the ideal method If it is fnanI
cially practicable. f..
The n great thing to be desired inI
a herd Is uniform excellence and thes
easiest and least expensive method Of
bringing this about is the one to be
adopted.

LONG ROADWAY OF CONCRETE
Remarkable Example Of Uses Of That
Material In CaIifornia-Cost
Almost $395,000.

Under supervision Of the California
state highway commission there has
just been completed the longest con-
crete roadway in the world, a remark
able example of the uses Of that ma
terial. It is a little more than three
miles long, a trestie construction, and
cost almost $395,O0O. The trestle Is 20
feet high and was built in units with
a roadway 81 feet wide. 1t is sup
ported on reinforced concrete piles,
each Weighing from three to five tons,
and the floor is made Of "pre-cast"
slabs. All the parts were put togeth-
er so carefully that the completed
structure is practically a monolith.

RATION IN iowa
BY Reducing Corn and ~IncreasIno|
silaoe Rapid Gains Were Made
With Less Expense.

Silage has cheapened the ~fattenine
ration for steers in Iowa. One lot, re-
ceiving each per day II pounds sheIled
orr, ~ pounds silage, 2 pounds oil
meal and IN pounds alfalfa, made
gains at a cost Of $9.57 while another
lot, receiving 81 pounds corn, 51|
pounds silage, 2 pounds oil meal and
IN pounds alfalfa, made gains at al
cost Of $7!67. The first lot averaged
2.94 pounds gain per day while the
second lot averaged 3.O4 pounds.
Reducing the corn and increasing the|
ensilage increased the gains and cut
down the cost of making gains.-North|

from meat stocks. Vegetable soups
or purees are made by boiling po-
~tatoes, beans, peas or other vege-
tables until soft, MASKING thru a
sieve and then heating with a little
liquid, and fiavoring. They furnish
also an excellent mean of using up
skim milk. Those who wish to
bring down the cost of food should
remember that skim milk, a cup of
which contains as much protein as
a cup of whole milk, is far too valu-
able a food to be overlooked. Since
soups offer an excellent way of utiliz-
ing odds and ends of vegetables and
especially left overs and parts which
otherwise would be wasted, the use
OF vegetable soup is often a real
economy.
Scotch Broth
Three pounds mutton, Q table
spoons pearl barley, 2 tablespoons
minced onion, 2 tablespoon minced
turnip, 2 tablespoons minced carrot,
2 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons
minced celery, l teaspoon pepper, l
tablespoon minced parsley, 8 quarts
cold water.
Remove the bones and all the fat
from the mutton, cut the meat into
small pieces, and put it into a stew
pan with the water, chopped vege-
tables, barley, and all the seasoning
excepting the parsley. 1t will be
found convenient to tie the bones
in a piece of thin white cloth before
adding them to the other ingredients.
Bring the stew to a boil, quickly
skim it, and allow it to simmer for
three hours, thicken with the flour,
and add the chopped parsley.
Dried Fish Chowder
One-half pound salt fish, 4 cups
potatoes, cut in small pieces, 2
ounces salt pork, 1 small onion,
chopped, 4 cups skinned milk, 4
ounces crackers.
Salt Goldfish, smoked halibut, or
other dried fish may be used in this
chowder. Pick Owe and shred the
fish, holding it in luke warm water.
Let it soak while the other ingredi-
ents of the fish are being prepared.
Cut the pork in small pieces and fry
it with the onion until both are a
delicate brown, add the potatoes,
cover with water, and cook until the
potatoes are soft. Add the milk and
fish and reheat. Salt, if necessary.
1t is we'll to allow the crackers TO
soak in the milk while the potatoes
are being cooked, then remove them
and finally add to the chowder just
before serving.
Milk and Cheese Soup
Three cups milk, or part milk and
part stock, n and a half table,
spoons flour, / cup grated cheese,
salt and paprika.
Thicken the milk with the -four,
cooking thoroly. This is best done
n a double boiler. with frequent
strings. When ready to serve, add
he cheese and the seasoning.
The protein in this soup is equal
amount to that in five-sixths of
! pound of beef of average compost
ion; it's fuel value is higher than
hat of a pound of beef.

BRITISH ADVANCE
ON TEN-MILE FRONT
English Troops Capture Village

Turn Line.
LOSSES OF TEUToNs HEAVY
(By Associated Press.)

British troops, in desperate at
tempt to turn the northern wing of
the Drecourt-Queant line, have ad-
vanced on front of nearly ten miles
and captured the village of Arleux-
En-Gohe.le, nine mile west of Douai.
The most violent fighting marked the
battle and successive German counter
attacks made at heavy sacrifices failed
to check the British.
To the Canadians, conquerors of
Vimy ridge, fell the work OF capturing
Arleux, two miles from the Drecourt-
Queant line and cas- of the Vimy
ridge.
German counter attacks failed to
move them and in hand-to-hand fight
ing, the attacking forces were driven
back.
Germans Lose 500.
Fierce encounters in which the
bayonet and rifle butt were used freely
mar the fighting from east of the
Vimy ridge south across the Sea.

Field Marshal Haig's men also
gained ground northeast of Gavrelle,
between Gavrelle and Roeux and
north OF Monchy-Le-Preux. In addi-
ton to their heavy sacrifices in killed
and wounded the Germans lost 500
prisoners.
The capture Of Arleux widens con-
sidcrably the British salient in the
German positions directly east of
Douai, the objective in this fighting.
1t threatens, too, the southern de-
lenses of Lens, aG well as the village
of Drecourt, the northern end of the
line on which military experts say the
Germans have pinned their hopes for
the safety of Douai and the region

that the British losses were great. 1t
adds that the attempt to break
