s;,uuuug. a, present w1icn aus pivsr
sion at all is made for this purpose II
consists usually in merely running IN
on top cornstalks from which the ears
have been removed. BY this method
some of the corn grain is saved. The
heavy green cornstalks pack much bet
ter than straw does and so exclude the
air more effectually. The top is thor
oughly tramped and then wet down.
Sometimes oats are sown on the top be-
fore wetting. The heat generated by
the fermenting mass will cause the oats
to sprout quickly and form dense
sod, which serves to shut off the air
from the silaga beneath. and in con
sequence only a very shallow layer
spells. Whenever possible, it is better
to begin feeding from the silo as soon
as it is filled; by doing this no cover
ing is necessary and there should be no
loss on account of spelling.

GOOD CARE OF WORK HORSE
Practice of Turning Animals on Pas

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Grass is not desirable material
to serve as the basis of the work
horse ration. The practice of turn
ing work animals out on Sundays to
eat grass, to which they are unaccus-
toned, is prolific source of collie
and other digestive disorders. Cen
orally the animals would be better off
in a cool, darkened stable. where they
could be carried on half rations Of
grain during idleness.
Where work horses which are fed a
full allowance of grain are turned out
to Craze each night they usually are
in poor condition for work next day.
as the extra feed they have consumed
merely tends to increase the tax on
their digestive capacity. However.
where the stables are hot and lilly ven
tilated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1920-05-21

The feet o. the work animals
should he examined frequently during
the summer. in order that accumula-
tons of dirt may he removed. A few
moments devoted TO scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening VIII
add to the comfort of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole of
the foot or are collected in the clefts
of the frog or between the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split. they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
It is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat of winter hair with perspiration.
Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be
blanketed at night.

CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Concrete Highway Is Composed OF
Mixture of Sand, Stone, Portland
Cement and Water.

The concrete road is composed of
a carefully proportional mixture of
clean, hard well-graded sand. peb-
bles or broken stone, portland cement
ofd water This mixture is laid upon
the subgrade to a depth of inches
or more for the entire width of the
road, and soon hardens into mass
as hard as rock. The materials are
bonded together by the cement so firm
ly that it is impossible for traffic to
loosen or separate the particles. For
this reason no expensive maintenance
is required.
The foundation or subgrade is COM
pacted where the concrete is to be
laid and the roadbed is drained 50
that no water will remain under the
slab, writes A. L. Pettibone in Dakota
Farmer Upon the foundation con-
crete is laid in one or two courses.
A one-course concrete road consists of
relatively rich concrete mixture
throughout. A two-course road con-
sists of somewhat leaner mixture for
base with a richer top or wearing
course, applied before the concrete in
the base has begun to harden. FIRE.
quently reinforcement in the form of
wire fabric or steel rods is embedded
in the concrete. This assists to pre-
vent cracks in the slab and aids in
keeping cracks which may form from
opening to any appreciate extent.
The high wearing quality of the con-
crete road results from using properly
graded, clean, hard sand and pebbles
or crushed rock. These must be COM
bined with portland cement in care
fully measured proportions, mixed with
power-operated batch mixer to pro-
duce a stiff plastic consistency, then
placed upon the foundation and struck
off with template or strike board,
so shaped that the surface of the pave
ment will have the desired crown. At

crete is finished by seesawing Sec

You have children to educate. You

In the bis city have If you live on Il

to haul your products to market. You
may say that you pay your share of

houses are built and the roads con-
structed. Maybe you do pay your share.
In proportion to the value of your
worlds goods. but where is the other
fellow TO get the money to pay his
share of the taxes if, after you pay
your taxes, you send the remainder of
your money to some other community
to help build their schools and con-
struct their roads. The merchants OF

able part of the taxes collected in that
community Go to the tax books and
you will find this tG be the case. When
the business of the merchant falls off
and he carries smaller stocks and has
less money in the bank, he pays small
er taxes, ana as the amount ne pays
in raxes decreases, the amount you
pay must increase If the schools are
to be maintained and the roads kept
up. 1t may be mans own business if
he wants to send his money to help

ly hardened to prevent pftting or
marking, the surface is sprnkled with
water. then covered with inches or
more of moist sand or earth. which
is kept wet by sprinkling for from ten
days to two weeks to prevent the con-
crete from drying out too rapidly. IN
