Good Roads Are Necessary to Efficient
Operation of Automobiles.

Of good roads to any one individual.
Therefore, the farmer is now back OF
road Improvement.
Does the city man feel any interest
in good roads? Ask your neighbor.
If he doesn't own an automobile ne ex-
poets to own one, and he knows all
about where the good roads are and
what they mean. But when his infiu-
ence counts big. the greatest impetus
has naturally sprung from the numer-
Gus army of motOrcar owners to whom
mOtorcar ownership has made the ter
ritOry for miles around his neighbor-
hood.
Counties and states where good
roads have become steady part of a
progressive program of legislation have
seen values shoot up in the most sur
prising fashion, and this again, has
brought home the fact that good roads
pay for themselves. Thus it is natu-
raj that the years 1919 and 1920 will
see the most stupendous good roads pro-
grams inaugurated in America that the
world has ever known. This will
result in the wider utility of motor
cars and motortrucks and, of course,
prove big aid to the solution Of the
freight traffic problem.

INTEREST in ROADS GROWS
More Attention Now Given to I'M
proVement in Highways Than
Ever Before in History.

The good roads movement is seeing
a big revival now that business is
becoming normal. The most impOr-
tant program that has recently come
to our attention is that of the state
OF Michigan, which has just voted in
favor of a $5O,OOOOOO program that,
when carried out, will place Michigan
on the map big so far as good roads
are concerned, writes Birkett l.. VIII
iams, truck sales manager for a large
mOtOrcar corporation.
Everywhere else you see also more
interest In good roads than in any
period in our history. 1t is true to say
that the war and its needs taught us
the value of good roads. Perhaps it
did. Perhaps it brought home to those
dull ears of higher ups the supreme
Importance of an intelligent system of
navigable highways. But more and
more it comes home to the man who
studies the situation that back of the
good roads movement must be the or
binary man, the average man who
pays taxes and votes and thinks as he
votes.
The farmer or rural dwe11er in GER
tain sections for a long time stood in
the wayne wanted the roads, but he
didn't want to pay for them. He did
not realize that in the long run good
roads pay for themselves out of saw
ings made to the community in haul
age Of people and merchandise. But
the farmer today Is reckoning in units
of time.
Yes, he realizes the value of min
utes throughout the season-and he is
just as keen in conserving time as the
city-bred man who operates a big fac
tory; if anything, he is a bit keener,
for seasons do not wait and crops must
be sowed and cultivated, reaped and
marketed at the right time. He has
convinced himself that time is money.
And he knows that good roads save
time and that they save time largely
because they make it possible to get
satisfactory services from motorcars
and mOtOrtrucks. And he is not one
bit blind to the fact that operating cost

tiOns-that good roads make gasoline

DO NOT NEGLECT HERD BOAR
Management is important Part in
Raising Strong, Healthy Pigs
Deserves Best Care.

1Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment Of AgricHlture.)
Inc management of the boar is
very important part in the raising of
strong, healthy pigs, and one which is
sometimes neglected. He should be
the most valuable animal in the whole
herd, and as such deserves the best of
attention. The boar should be pur-
chased from a breeder of pure-bred
hogs when between eight months and
one year of age. Many breeders, how
ever, purchase a boar when a wean-
ling pig, but to be successful in this
choice requires a wide experience and
sound judgment. Aged boars which
have proved their worth can some
times be purchased at q reasonable
price. It is much safer for an mex
perienced breeder to buy an old, ac-
tive boar than a young untried boar.
If possible, the farmer should visit
the herd where the boar was raised
and note the conditions under which
he was bred. At any rate, it is always
possible to obtain from the breeder
notes on the health and kind and
amount OF feeds used, so as to serve
as an index to his subsequent treat
ment.
Upon arriving at the farm the boar
should be unlOaded as soon as pos
sible and placed in quarantine to
guard against the Introduction of dis
ease into the herd. If ne is lousy it is
well to treat this condition at once
His feed should be a continuation of
that to which he has been accustomed,
feeding rather lightly the first few
days until he RECEIVERS from the strain
of shipping and becomes accustomed
to his new surroundings. If it is not
feasible to continue feeding as pre-
viously indicated, the change to
more convenient ration should be
made very gradually in order not to
disturb the appetite or health of the

Very simple frocks of fine cotton
goods in gay cOlOrs or of handkerchief

batiste, lawn and Organdie usually fur

poplin and pique, while these and

Between the two extremes of very
dainty and sheer things, for special oc-
casionS, and heavy cottOns, come the
durable printed voiIes. They make
very practical frocks that are more
dressy than ginghams. A good many
of these initiate ginghams in plaids

animal. AS a rule, a pig 8 to 10
months old will be in proper breed
ing condition when received unless he
has been very heavily overfed. In
purchasing an older boar, particularly
one which has been In the show cir
cult, it is often necessary to reduce
his condition before attempting to
breed. With some animals the breed
ing power is permanently impaired
by too high condition at some time in
their life. The boar should be well
fed but not fat, as a too high condi-
ton makes him inactive, slow breed
er, and a rather uncertain sire.
After the breeding season the boar
should not be fed so heavily, and
should have a wider ration, that is,
one containing less of the protein
concentrates and relatively more corn.
The ration at this time is practically
the same as that fed the brood SOW
when she is not producing a litter Of
pigs. He should have the run of a
pasture a quarter of an acre in area
In connection with his paddock. Here
he can exercise and obtain much OF
his feed from the forage, or in the
winter when the forage is consumed
he may be fed on alfalfa or clover Lay
In connection with the grain ration.
Keep the boar healthy, give him ex-
ercise, plenty of rough feeds, and
keep him in condition by varying his
supply of grain. Under such condi-
tons little trouble will be expert
enced in getting a normal boar to pro-
duce large filters of strong, healthy
pigs.

the two styles of garments, with rare

BREED DAIRY HEIFER EARLY
Purpose Should Be to Get System Of
Animal Into Milk Producing Habit
Before Maturity.

Ry R. ". CLARK, Colorado AgricuI-
tural College, Fort Collins. CoIo.)
In order that heifers may be bred
young and begin milking at an early
date, they should be well developed.
This is important. Cows that acquire
considerable age and become mature
before beginning to milk will not
usually make as deep and persistent
mixers as cows that are bred at
comparatively early age and begin to
milk before they are mature. The
aim is to get the system Of the ami
NAL into the habit OF producing, milk
at as early an age as possible There
fore the heifer should be well fed and
cared for from birth.
If the heifer is well developed she
should be bred at Is to IS months of
age, otherwise she should not be bred
until Is to 20 months Of age.
