The hog growers of that section have decided 1t is most profitable for them to produce feeder hogs because the high price and limited quantity of corn in their vicinity available for feeding purposes make the fattening of hogs q hazardous undertaking.

SPECIALIZE IN FEEDER HOGS
One Hundred Carloads of Cholera Free Animals Shipped Annually
 From South Dakota.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of AEriculture)
 Feeder hogs. perfect as to specifca- ton and designed to satisfy the most discriminating purchaser, are exported annually from the Belle Fourche reclamation project South Dakota. Approximately 100 carloads of cholera free and alfalfa-rased porkerS are shipped each season. The output for the last few years has been purchased by Nebraska farmers who fHtten and condition the hogs for the central mar ketS. A special advantage about snch shipments Is that the animals need not be held In quarantine while vacci- mated to satisfy the requirements of interstate shipment. and the purchaser does not have to bear added expenses. such as yardage and feed costs, which he would have to pay if he bought his stock hogs on the central market.

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
nomical Types in Disrepute, Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. F. E. House of the Colorado Agricultural College is firm believer in the importance of maintaining a road after il Is built. He supplies the following, taken from The Engineer ing News-Reeord, and says of it "it is so true and hits the nail so Squarely that l quote il direct:
 The tendency in road improvement k to select types of roads which re- quire very little annual maintenance. The general feeling among lnymen seems to he that when road surface requires some annual maintenance to keep if in good shape, it k an cNpen- siye type and should he avoided. Yet, if the interest on investment and the repairs are taken into consideration, the cheaper wearing surface may in many eases prove to he the more sat i>faetary and economical.

MILK STEAMERS COMPARED
Absorbent Cotton and Filter Cloth More Effective Than Wire Gauge
 or Cheesecioth.

Prepared by tho United States Depart
 ment ot Agriculture)
 Clean milk depends primarily on sanitary methods of production. hut milk Straners as commonly used also have direct bearing on the quality of commercial milk. Certain kinds ef straners cause milk to appear elean but fail to remove all impurities. of all the milk filters in common uSe only tw0-ab>orhent cotton and filter cloth are reasonably efficient in actually improving the commercial quality ef milk. Even these Alters must be kept clean and changed frequently 10 tuz sure satisfactory results.
 According to reports rom about forty thousand farmers wire SaHzr stralnerS are in mere general Use tiaa any other kind. but studies with tHn microscope show plainly that the meShes are much teo large te hold Lack any but the very coarSe impart- Ucs. one thickness of chse~eeloth ar other cotton cloth k only sHcmlH more effective than n wire ean1e strainer. but when the cloth k fatziea to about eight thicIlnesSeS it's ahHEfy to remove dirt in milk increases some what. but Is still inefficient as com pared to absorbent cotton or filter cloth.
 Filter cloth. specially made cot ton cloth, smooth on one side and "Cu2zy" on the other. was found rt8- souably effective. This cloth ean he obtained from leading dairy supply houses. The milk should be poured on the fuzzy side, the fbers of which stand up like the nap of q carpet, and remove all but small percentage ef the solid impurities. The most e0eea tive strainer of all however. accord ing to the experiments was layer af absorbent cotton placed between t"o thickneSSes of cheesecloth.
 At best Straining milk is practice that makes milk appear clean and therefore more easily salable, but 10 strainer removes either the bacteria and objectionable tiayorS or the very fine dirt. AS q consequence strainiRG milk fails to improve it's wholesome. ness to any noticeable degree. Glenn milk is best obtained by sanitary methods which prevent, SO far as peS- sible, the entrance of dirt into the milk. This can be done best by haH- ing clean cows in clean stable and milking with clean hands into ster- llized small-top pails.
