ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
Minnesota Dairy Expert Makes Start
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That Is Wasted.

Three and one-half billion pounds of
milk are practically wasted in the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21O0O,O00 pounds every day. The fore
going is a startling statement, but r.
M. WaShburn of the division of dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri
culture, says it is true. The farmer
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk, fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent of its energy value in edi-
bic pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy value is lost. Mr.. Washburn says,
though, that some milk is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more Of the energy value of
the skim milk will be saved if it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds Of skim milk, says Mr.. Wash
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
binary meat, and will make 10 pounds
of cottage cheese. The cheese con-
tains about One-third more protein
and one-third less energy than meat,
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.

IMPROVING TIE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Are Usually
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Garry.

The worst holes in the road always
market. No stretch Of roadway is uni
formly good, because every road has
certain small spots that are usually
soft and wet. These spots cause more
trouble than the rest of the road COM
bined. How these spots are to be i'm
proved depends on the character of
the soil, and the nature of the cOun-
try. Many sGch spots owe their char
acter to soft subsoil, due to springs.
Before these roads can be permanent
ly improved they must be under
drained. II tile is laid in these
places there will usually be no trouble
in the future The surface of the road
should then be filed with dirt and
crowned, so any surface water may
run off. If this is done there will be
no trouble from subSurface water.
Many rOadWays that are closed in
with shade trees are bad. If a goOdly
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed, the ground will dry
out and no trouble result. If the char
acter of the soil is soft and pliable, so
+ that it will not pack and remain firm,
new material should be applied to the
surface. The best and cheapest mate
rial for improving roads is gravel.
Where gravel beds are accessible a
days work with team and wagon
will improve any rCadbcd permanent
ly. If the soil is very sandy an 8-inch
application of clay to the surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend considerable portion of its
time in remedying the bad spots in the
road.
