SUGGESTIONS ON GOOD ROADS
Special Thought Should Be Given BY
Builders to Road Crossings to
Avoid Accidents.

While highway engineers. commits
sioners and others are planning good
roads and strong. durable bridges.
they ought to give special thought and
work to the road crossings and the
sewers or culverts placed at sucn cross
ings, says writer in Farmers Review.
Such crossings are generally about
II to 16 feet long, and it requires an
abrupt turn of a vehicle to take them
at right angle. These are danger
points on account of the short turn
and narrow space to make the turn.
The remedy for such places is TO
make sewer or culvert as long as the
width of the road will permit, say not
less than 40 feet, and more if possible.

Make Sweet Potato Flour.

Sweet potatoes, dried and ground
into a flour in an ordinary kitchen
coffee grinder, can be used in variety
of ways in cooking. Specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture believe that in many localities
where sweet potatoes are abundant
the making of sweet potato flour in
the home may furnish a practical way
to save the sweet potatoes from spoil
ing. The flour will keep well in dry
containers.
To make the flour the potatoes
should first be cut into small length
wise pieces and thoroughly dried. A
small drier that fits on top of the
oven or warming closet of a range or
gas stove can be used. If an electric
fan is available it will serve admir-
ably. The nut knife of a meat grinder
also can be used for this purpose
Flour made by such process can be
kept for some time if put into a dry
container, or the flour may be made
from the dry potatoes as it is needed.
A quart of the dry potatoes makes a
cup of flour.
The use of sweet potato flour in
cake or bread making will materially
reduce the amount of other flour used.
The proportions may be half and half.
When used in cakes the sugar could
also be reduced a little. Sweet potato
flour is useful as a thickening agent,
having the same value in this respect
as cornstarch. Recipes for the use
of sweet potato flour have been tested
and found to be excellent by food spe-
cfalists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or in Barn-Keep Toes
Properly Trimmed.

Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whether on the pasture or in
the barn, and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
round. If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and of the proper length,
the tendency to split and crack will be
reduced to minimum. In the stable
the feet should be frequently cleaned
and trimmed and the frog kept in its
proper shape.

The good roads campaign is always

for economy and extent of gains when
used with Oat straw as when fed with
clover hay. AS such a ration is extern
sively used in various parts of the
United States its practical value can
readily be seen. Straw and slower are
especially valuable for the wintering
of breeding herds of beef cattle, and
should form a large part of their feed.
Rations suitable for different classes
of beef cattle are as follows:
Rations for Breeding Cows.
Ration 1:
Straw, 10 pounds.
Cottonseed or 1inseed meal, 1 pound,
Ration 2:
straw. 20 pounds
Cottonseed or oil cake, 2 pounds.
Ration 8:
Straw, 10 pounds.
Shock corn, 10 pounds.
Cottonseed meal or linseed meal,
pound.
Ration 4:

Rations for Feeding 1,ooo-Pound Fat.
tenins Steers.
Ration 1:
Straw, pounds.
Silage, Is pounds.
Corn, Il pounds.
Ration 2:
Straw, 8 pounds
Legume hay, pounds.
Cottonseed cake or 1inseed cake 8
pounds.
Ration 8:
Slower, 10 pounds.
Silage, Is pounds.
Corn, II pounds.
Ration 4:
Straw, pounds
Slower, 15 pounds.
Corn, 6 pounds.
Cottonseed meal, 8 pounds.
In these rations various other feeds
may be substituted. In the rations
given for wintering breeding cows def
mite quantities of straw and slower
are given. In actual feeding such fig
ures should be somewhat disregarded
and the cattle given as much roughage
as they will consume.
Yearlings may be fed three-fourths
the ration for breeding cows and may
be expected to come through the win
ter in fair to good condition.
For fattening animals straw should
always be within reach so that the ami
NAL may eat at will. They will usually
eat from three to five pounds daily.

SOUND RoUGHAeE FOR SHEEP
II Carefully Fed and Pastured Alfalfa
Is Excellent for All Glasses
of Live Stock.

Alfalfa, if carefully fed and pas
tured. is one of the best roughages
for sheep. The rapid increase in the
production Of alfalfa in the United
States during recent years has resulted
in a more careful study of it's posi-
bilities as a food for all classes of live
stock. Formerly it was used primarily
as a cattle feed. but now 1t is used as
a feed for horses, swine and sheep.

Country-Guesswork in Ship

The station agent at Highland wired
his division superintendent -four cars
strawberries to Chicago" The super
intendent added these four cars to fig
ures received from other station
agents, and wired the total to the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
Strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points in producing sec
lions showing that total of 40 cars of
Strawberries were on the way to Chi
cago, and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
markets.
Shipment Diverted.
"Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said a strawberry
man, who received the wire from
Washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars of strawberries instead of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
bureau of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 10, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received checks
that gave them a profit on their ship
mentS.
Helping the Uncle Henrys.
Guesswork in marketing of fruits
and vegetables has gone. The market
news service is working for many
Uncle Henrys" and also for dealers
and consumers. No one profits when
a city receives more Of any fruit or
vegetable than it can consume, and
as a means of correcting such a condi-
! ton it is necessary to know how much
produce is en- route to that city.
The market news service for fruits
| and vegetables, with its many agents
Gals, gives daily a picture of market
conditions throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places
this picture in the form of a typed re
port in the hands of all persons inter
