Street Contract Let

At a special meeting Tuesday evening
the Town Board awarded the contract
for the construction of new streets on
Main and Broad, to G. W. Lowe & Co..
of Philadelphia, who were the lowest
bidders. The contractors will begin
work at once and agree to complete
their contract in go working days. The
new streets will be of concrete and 9
inches in thickness and the specifica.
tions will be the same as those now be-
ing used by the State Highway Dept.
That section leading from Green to An
derson streets including the square will
be built its entire width as we'll as a
short stretch on East NJ ain street, ex-
tending east of the Peoples Bank, but
the remainder of the contract will only
be 18 feet wide. Owing to the high
cost of street construction at the pres
ent time the commissioners found them
selves without sufficient funds to build
the streets from curb to curb as they
had first contemplated. ard the reduc-
tion in width in the residential sections
will reduce the cost nearly *20, 1000.

FEEDING THE DAIRY COW

| Feed prices have been soaring in tn,
last few weeks and many dairymen ar
wondering how they are going to MAKE
out this winter. Many of the old stand
by feeds have advanced in price above
their worth as feed while others such al
gluten, !inseed oil and cottonseed meals
are very difficult to secure. The time
was never more opportune for farmers
! to comparatively purchase their winter
feeds in carload lots.
Many dairymen are mixing cheaper
feeds with some commercial dairy feeds
; without any very definite plan to such
an extent that they increase the cost
OF digestible food although they may
lower the cost per pound of feed. The
addition of any grain to the prepared
dairy feeds should not be made without
first considering the analysis of the
feed and the requirements of the cows.
A Hing progein to a ration already high
in protein is not only wasteful, but also
injurious to the animal to which il is
fed.
There are number of dairy feeds
on the market which are balanced to
meet the general herd requirements.
The addition of anything to these is no
Improvement. There are other feeds
containing high per centage of pro-
tein for use with carbohydrate feeds
such as corn meal. 1t is difficult to give
any hard and fast rules for feeding cows.
The amount of milk produced and the
condition of the herd as we'll as that Of
the individual cows in the herd is the
guide as to the mixture to use and the
amount to feed. If the cows are thin
they should have more carbohydrate
feed such as corn meal. If the feed be-
ing used is high in protein the addition
of cornmeal or some other fat producing
feed would greatly improve it for that
particular herd. If, on the other hand,
the cows are getting to fleshy, the ad-
dition of some high protein feed would
Le necessary, such as cottonseed, linseed
and gluten meals. Simple experiments
with the herd is the practical way to
determine which mixture is the right !
one.
In conclusion, it is ge ,erally cheaper
for the farmer to buy the ingredients !
and mix his own feeds. However, if i
labor and time is limited, especially in
the summer season when only a small /.
OF the grain ration is fed, it is
often practical to buy commercial feed
from one of the established firms. Due
to the scarcity and high price of feeds
farmers can render themselves a dis
.inct service and save money by Coop
.ratlve buying of feed in car load lots.
