HIGHWAY WORK is RESUMED
Federal Aid Undertakings Actively
Taken Up After Armistice, Says
Secretary Houston.

Delayed in its program of good
roads construction by the war and
confronted at the end of shat period
by condition of badly run down
highways, the federal government, co
operating with the highway depart
mCntS of the several states. has re-
Sumcd the vigorous prosecution of the
work, and, says David +. Houston,
secretary Of agriculture, there is now
no special obstacle to the conStruc-
ton, In the different states of the
Union, of those roads which serve the
greatest economic needs. In his an
nual report. Secretary Houston says:
Good reads are essential to the
prosperity and well-bcing of urban and
rural communities alike They are
prerequisite for the orderly and sys-
tcmatic marketing of farm products,
for the establishment Of satisfactory
rural schools, and for the develop
ment of a richer and more attractive
rural life. Recognizing these facts,
the federal government, through the
passage of the federal aid road act in
financial participation in rOad-building
operations in the various states. This
act appropriated $T5,000O0O, to be
matched by an equal amount from the
states, for the construction of rural
post roads over Il period of five years,
and $1OOOO,O O0O-Sl 900 900 year for
10 ycarS-for roads within or partly
within the national forests. II re-
quired each state to have responsible
central highway commission with the
requisite powers and funds. All the
states have complied with the terms
of the act although it was necessary
for them to enact additional legiSla-
ton, or to amend their constitutions
TO provide sufficient funds to match
the federal appOrtionment: and to
strengthen existing central highway
bodies or to create new agencies.
"Whcn these preliminary steps had
been practically completed and the Dc
partment and the states were about
ready to proceed vigorously with the
actual construction of roads, the

REMEDY DEFECTS IN BUTTER
Use of Churn Numbers Would Enable
inspectors to Sort Out Various
Cummings.

Some of the defects noted by butter
inspectors of the United States depart
ment of agriculture are: Ola cream
flavor, wavy or notified appearance,
too much salt, and icaliincss in the
butter. These defects are reported To
the shipper when the inspection GER
tiiicatc is sent him, so that he may
know why his butter scores low and
may remedy the defects.
The use of churn numbers. so that
the receivers can more readily sort out
separate churnings, is urged by food
product inspectors of the bureau OF
markets, United States department of
agriculture. In one lot of butter, for
example, the score varied from IS to
92. AS no churn numbers were shown,
the only way the receiver could sep
arate the butter was by examining ev-
cry tub. If churn numbers had been
Shown 1t would have been simple
matter to separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according to score.
1t is not possible to take time to eX
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according to the samples taken. and mt
a discount if the samples vary much.
If there should happen to be just one
poor tub in the shipment ana the sam
pier found 1t, the whole shipment
would suffer; while II clurn numbers
ing would receive the lower score.

WITTY WlTCA'S SONGS.

'T want to tell you" said Daddy,
"about the songs that Witty Witch
sang at Peter Gnome's party the 9th
er day. He gave party where he
told a story he had made up himself,
but he said he had merely made up
the way the words should be written.
He hadn't made up the facts or things
which happened, which of course made
the greater part of the story
"Do tell us about Witty Witch's
songs" said Nancy.
"Ycs," said Nick. I'D like to hear
them, too"
"rll tell them TO you," said Daddy,
"for / know that Witty Witch would
like me 10. She likes all children who
like her. She doesn't like to think
that children think she's an awful old
thing who would chase them with a
broom, for such n thing she would
never do.
"She says she was riding on broom
once and someone took her photograph
and ever since then it has been so
hard for her to tell people and make
them understand that that broom was
for sweeping or for taking rides upon
as she did quite often, but it was not
for beating children as someone said
who didn't know anything about her,
really. There are no bad witches
these days.
"For that reason, as You know, Wit
ty Witch hates gossip rs much as any
one, if not more. For she knows the
harm il can do, what wrong stories
go about and how folks believe them
| II they don't watch ont and find out
| the truth for themselves.
"WelI, after Peter GnOmcs supper
was over and they had all had Il de-
licious meal old Witty Witch took out
a banjo which she had brought along
with her and she sang this song first
of all.

| But I'm not a wild thing, no. no, indeed!

became necessary greatly TO curtain
highway building because Of the diff
ticulty OF securing transportation, con-
struction materials. and the requisite
services. After the armistice was
signed, arrangements promptly were
made for the active resumption ana
vigorous prosecution of road work in
all sections OF the country, not only
with view to repair the damage
wrought by the heavy traffic forced
upon our highways during the war,
when maintenance operations were
seriously interfercd with, but also to
provide adequate transportation facili-
ties TO serve the increased needs OF
agriculture and industry. Recognizing
also thar road building activities

cepting the recommendation Of the
department OF agriculture, appropriate

for the extension of road construction
in cooperation with the states. and
also made some important amend
ments to the act. The definition of
the kind of roads that can be con-
structed was greatly broadened and
the Limitation on the federal contribu-
tion for any one road was increased
from $4,000 to 100000 a mile. These
amendments have greatly facilitated

SHIP CATTLE FROM MONTANA
Estimated That Between 100000 and
100000 Head Have Been Shipped
Out of State.

prepared by the United States Depart
nent Of AgricultureD
An unusually large movement of cat
u" out of Montana has taken place in
1919, according to the bureau of ami
mai Industry. Normally, the move
ment of cattle from this state is be-
tween 100000 and 100000 head an
nually. 1t is estimated that between
100000 and 100000 have been shipped
out Tor all purposes Figures are not
available for u similar comparison in
regard To sheep, but reports from rep
rescntativcS of the department in the
field indicate that between 100000 and
"oD,UOO sheep of all classes Of range
stock were moved out Of the North
west for feeding and grazing in sec
tions east and west of the drought
area.
These animals went first into the
available nearby pasture lands in the
Dak0tas and Nebraska. Later they
were moved into the middle cornbelt
states, into Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
the upper peninsula of Michigan, and
still later into Texas and New Mex
leo. The movement into the two lat
ter states continued on into November.
The heavy snowfall that occurred
early in the season overlook some
ranchmcn who were taking chances en-
the weather and they found it neces-
saTy to move their herds quickly. IT
is thought that enough railroad cars
were made available to fill all orders
Stock cars moving west were given
preference over dead freight.
Information that has reached the
department indicates that the move
mcnt of cattle into New Mexico and
Texas has been satisfactory, and with
certain exceptions, the same holds
true with respect to Minnesota. Wis
