HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS
Substantial Reasons Why Farmers
Should Get Together and Save
Cost OF Poor Highways.

The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has more to do
with the cost of living, doubtless, than
you realize. Have you ever thought
that every product you sell and every
article you buy must be hauled over
the road; that your teams and vehicles
or your automobile must bear the
swear and tear" caused by a rough
road to sell farm products or to bring
the necessities from the town?
The fact that your neighbor must
also pay the high cost of bad roads is
all the better reason why you, he and
the rest of the neighborhood should
get together and improve the road to
save some of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose in hauling
farm products over bad roads would
soon build good road and give you
quick and satisfactory service.

is done correctly it will last for q num-
Der of years. The maintenance of an
earth road, however, is a reverend
ing job. 1t is like milking the COWS
and doing other chores, for the builder
knows that the work of maintenance
will have to be done over and over
again and can never feel that il Is in
any sense permanent.
"For this reason the earth road has
q bad reputation. The trouble is not

the road is composed as with our sys-
TEN OF lack of system of management.

more expensive and serve the travelling

improvement that can be made on our
present earth roads by intelligent d.
rectiOn in their construction and main

SPRING PASTURE FOR STOCK
Expensive Feed Bills Will Be Saved
and Milk Flow Kept Up-Rye
and Glover Favored.
By J. G. wATsoN.)

Are you preparing for early spring
pasture? Early spring almost inyari-
ably finds us short of feed. How are
you planning for that shortage? Early
pasture will save expensive feed bills
and help keep up the milk yield. A
good fall and early spring pasture is
rye or a mixture Of rye and crimson
clover. Early-sown rye gives con-
siderable feed in the fall but should
not be grazed too closely or the plants
may be winter-killed.
The clover crop makes about half
its growth during the last 80 days of
its grazing period, that is under nor
NAL conditions, so that it can be heav-
lily grazed during that time. This
should allow the permanent pasture
to get a good start before turning on
it and it will be stronger and provide
more pasture than If grazed early.
Late fall and early spring pasture
means cheaper production and larger
yields.

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
Don't Wait Until Animals Commence
to Die of BIackleg Before Ad-
ministering Treatment.

tBy g. H. GLOVER, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins)
Calves should be vacclnated for
blackleg twice a year, making 1t a
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most of the vaccine
on the market is reliable and the IN
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on the part of the
farmer in not following directions in
using it.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not be filled promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that he has vaccinating outfit, which
very necessary to administer vac
cine in this form. A pellet injector
will not do, neither will hypodernic
syringe, without the remainder of the
outfit, for placing the vaccine in solu-
ton.

HIGHER QUALITY OF BUTTER
Article Made by Farmer Should Top
the Market-creamery Has Lit
tie Control of Cream.

There is no reason in the world why
the farmer cannot make butter of high
err quality than that made at the
creamery, according to N. e. Olson, in
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas safe agricultural college.
"The farmer can keep his cream in
excellent condition." says Mr.. Olson,
"while the creamery man has little
control over the cream he buys-hence
the farmers butter should top the
market.
"The first step In the making Of good
butter is the production of clean milk.
If milk contains no putrefactive and
gas-forming bacteria, butter can be
produced which will be free from odors
and which will not putrefy, II proper
precautions are taken with the cream
and with the butter after it is churned
and packed"

ter feeding by the inexperienced
feeder:
1. Under most circumstances the
cow should be fed all the roughage
that she will eat UP clean, adjusting
the grain ration to the milk produc-
ton. Only when the COW tends to be-
come overfat should the quantity of
roughage be restricted.
2. A grain mixture should be fed
in the proportion of 1 pound to each
3 pints or pounds Of milk pro-
duced by the COW, except in the
case of the COW producing a flow Of
40 pounds or more, when the ration
can be 1 pound to each 31a
or 4 pounds of milk. An even
better rule is pound of grain each
day for every pound of butterfat pro-
duced by the COW during the week.
3. Feed all the COW will respond to
in milk production. When she begins
to put on flesh, cut down the grain.
