DISTRIBUTION NOT UNIFORM
Average Of 2.5 Motorcars for Every
Mile Of Public Road In the
United States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The total rond mileage OF the
United States outside Incorporated
towns and cities is about 2,456,000
miles. With total registration Of
B146,617 motor vehicles there was,
therefore, an average OF 2.5 motor
cars for every mile OF public road In
the United States The distribution
of cars among the several states, how
ever, Is far from uniform. Thus, Ne.
vada has but two cars to every three
miles Of road, while Rhode Island has
10 cars to each mile of rural road.
Furthermore, while there was an aver
age Of one motorcar registration for
every 10 persons in the United States,
In the states Of California and Ne
braska there was one car for every
seven persons, and one car for every
eight persons In Iowa and South Da-
kota, but only one car for every 81
persons In Alabama, every 40 In Louis
lana, or every ~ persons In Arkansas.

FEED AND SALT REGULARLY
Cow Becomes Accustomed to Getting
Meals at Certain Time-DeVi-
alton Causes Worry.

A COW is pretty much creature OF
habit. She becomes accustomed to
getting her feed at a certain time each
day and if that time arrives without
the feed she worries about 1t and this
affects her milk production. For this
reason regularity in feeding is very
important. Also watering and sailing
should be attended to punctually, Ana
the water should be good. 1t is mis-
take to require cows to drink tainted
water, for it certainly impairs the
health if it does not affect the quality
of the milk. The man who provides
properly for the wants of his cows
has right to expect that they will re.
pay him in a more abundant milk flow

Blondes Dying
Out In America

emerges from each world struggle
stronger in number than before.
Up to the middle of the nineteenth
century the native American, Mr. Grant
points out, was the almost purely Nor
die. The Civil war destroyed large
part Of the breeding stock of the
blonde races, and the immigration
since then has been largely from the
Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.
Mr.. Grant believes that the destruc-
ton of life Of the blondes in the pres
ent war has been so immensely great
er than that of the brunette that a
great step has been taken In wiping
out the blonde type.
'1The world war will leave Europe
much poorer In Nordic blood" he says.
He points out how the blonde race
has been absorbed by the brunette all
over the world, and cites the Aryan
conquerors Of northern India, who i'm
posed their language and customs on
the natives but were swallowed up

SWAT THE ROOSTER.

BOOSTERS not needed as breeders
should be put in the same class as
flies when it comes to swatting. 1t
is estimated by the United States de-
partment of agriculture that $15,000,-
900 worth of eggs spoil yearly simply
because they are fertile. Fertile eggs,
when subjected to high summer tenn
perature, begin to hatch just as when
placed in an incubator or under a hen,
and even though the process continues
but a short time the egg becomes I'M
fit for food. This spoilage of eggs
can be entirely prevented by swatting
or disposing of the rooster after the
breeding season is over. The campaign
for the production of infertile eggs
has been waged several years by
United States department of agricul-
ture poultry specialists, and is being
taken UP with renewed vigor in states
where summer temperatures are high
est and losses are greatest. Weeks
have been designated "Swat the
Rooster" for the sale of surplus male
birds. Enormous quantities of roost-
ers. not needed and being fed needless
