NEW AND GOOD ROADS BUILT
Needs of Commercial Intcressa, o
Tourists az Well az Farmer,
Have Been Considered.

Wonderful progress is being made
in constructing a great network of
good roads throughout the country.
The needs of commercial interests, Of
tourist, as well as the farmer, have
been consulted in designing this sys-
tenn. 1t has long been q reproach
that American roads were inferior to
those Of most European countries but
this condition of affairs is now being
corrected. In 1915 the government
appropriated s75,OOO,OO0 to be spent
in FIVE installments, the last Of which,
amounting to s25.O00.0OO, was to be
released July 4, 1919, and this has
since been increased by a additional
$2OO,OOO.OO0. Up to HAY 1 plans had
been approved for building 27,970
miles OF road or nine times the dis
lance from New York to San Fran
cisco and OF this 1880 were actually
under construction.-Boys' Life.

There is a worthy movement on foot
for better roads. Every business man,
every home provider and every motor

eft all classes Of people in their every
day life.
This vast country has grown. so
enormously and so fast that it's rail-
roads cannot deliver the goods nor

the country and present demands re-
quire.
With good roads the farmer can de-
liver all his products direct to towns
within a radius Of fifty or more miles
and though making more profit him.
self, he is reducing the high cost OF
living.
The merchant is able to take ad-
vantage of new sources Of supply, to
buy his stock under favorable condi-
tons, and give it on sale to his Gus
toners in less time than he could have
secured delivery by the slower and.
c0Stlier railway express and freight
service. With motortrucks he can then
re-deliver to his customers and give
better service yer a larger territory.
Automobile delivery will increase his
business, lessen his costs and increase
his profits.
Millions Of dollars are lost every
year through p%erishable goods spoil
ing on tine railroads, because Of freight
delays and complications. .Intereity
m%otorexpress over distances Of 100 or,
more miles has already become a prof

saved over 100000 yearly by using mo-

contribute largely to organized i'm
provement of roads.
Good roads are a paying investment.

COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER
That Which Is Not Too Pale is Gen.
orally Favored-ouality Not
Always Affected.

/. The color of good butter should be
clear and even throughout. Although
the shade Of the color does not always
affect the quality Of the butter, pref
erence is generally given to that which
is not too pale in color. When the
cream is churned at too high a tenn
perature, the butter comes quickly,
but loses much Of Its natural color.
Churning at too low a temperature,
and consequently for too long a time,
also destroys the color Of the butter
produced. Color in butter is often
spoiled through overwashing or over
working 1t. Butter is Of a paler color
from sweet cream than from ripened,
as. in tine former case there is more
buttermilk in the finished product.

CARE FOR BREEDING CATTLE
Have Both Cows and Herd Bull In
Good Physical Condition to Insure
Uniform Calf Crop.

II it is desired to have calves
dropped In the fall or early winter
months-November-the cows should
be bred in February and March. One
way to insure a uniform calf crop Is
to have both the breeding cows and
herd bull, in good physical condition
at. this time. A herd bull that has
been left with the wintering herd to
shift for himself is, as a rule. in poor
condition when the breeding season
arrives, and the chances are that he
will not be a sure, vigorous sire.
The ration for the herd bull should
consist Of a liberal amount Of rough
ages, such as corn silage, legume hay,
slower, or straw, and in most In
stances, unless in good condition, a
small allowance of grain. The breed
Ing cows should be healthy and vigor-
Gus at time of calving, otherwise they
should receive in addition to q lib
eral supply of silage, legume hay, or
other roughage, and a small amount Of
grain, In order that they may give suf-
fclent milk to nourish the calves prop
erly and at the same time maintain
their own condition.

OIL is the only agency yet found to

Oil is carried from the storage tank

Washington, July 21.-Just what
Senator Tom Watson thinks of the
Federal Reserve Board is best shown
in the following resolutions which ne

"Whereas, the said reserve board

Poultry House Renovation.

The poultry houses are not neglect
ed because it is a long job, but be-
cause the work is placed second to
everything else on the farm. The the
ory seems to be that the poultry
house will be given a thorough reno
walton as soon as there is no other
work to do. Of course that condition
never occurs on a farm and the hens
may live for a long time in an I'M
clean house.
Poultry house cleaning has been
made difficult because of poor floors
and built-in equipment. The old earth
floor became contaminated to a depth
of several inches. The dirt had to be
removed and new sand substituted.
This was a long job and time costs
money on a farm. The new type of
cement floor is easier to clean and is
a good investment for any owner.
Poultry equipment should be port
able. All nests must be taken outside
the house and summed and sprayed.
This cuts down the chances of the
vcrmin living through the spray bath.
1t prevents a lot of cracks and crew
ices which are formed when large
sections of nests are nailed to the
walls.
The commercial coal tar sprays
are fine for washing the inside of the
poultry house. Lice paint gives the in
terror a rather neat cheerful appear
ance. Lime-sulphur spray is a great
destroyer of poultry pests and the
orchard sprayer can sometimes be
used for washing down the walls. and
floor of the house.-Successful Farm

Cured Sweet Potatoes Bring
Better Prices.

Curing of sweet potatoes to.pre-
vent spoilage is giving good results
in Hampstead County, Ark, under
the instruction of the county agent
of the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College, who reports a price
of S1.50 per bushel on the first car
of sweet potatoes shipped from the
new curing plant of the Farmers
Potato Curing Company which was
built last fall. At digging time the
farmers could have sold these pota-
toes on the local market for fifty or
sixty cents per bushel. In loading the
car it was found that the potatoes
were keeping in good shape Less
than two per cent of them were found
to be damaged.
In jefferson County, Ca, the coun-
ty agent says 500 bushels of sweet
potatoes were shipped from the cur
ing house at S1.3Th per crate, f. o.
b. Louisville, and less than n per
cent were damaged The Lenoir

to two potato storage houses. One
contained 500 bushels and the other
a 500 bushel house. Both storage
men said they had less than n per
cent of bad potatoes. In Louisiana,
st. Landry County, LOO barrels OF
kiln dried potatoes sold at $3.50 per
barrel. Another man in the same dis
trict was unable to sell his potatoes,
which were not %kiln-dried, for $500
per barrel. The first man remarked,
after he had made the sale, "No more
cotton for me-" In Allendale county,
S. c., the county agent stated that
cured potatoes were furnished to a
large hotel all through the fall and
gave entire satisfaction.-Farm &

FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES
Cold or Lukewarm Water Prevents
Hardening and Sticking Of Albu'

When milk bottles are allowed to
stand, the casein hardens on them and
II is almost as difficult to remove as
when it is burned on by the use of hot
water. If 1t is necessary to let your
milk bottles stand for any length OF
time. 1t Is best to pour cold. or luke

vant the hardening and sticking OF the

water can be used followed by hot

BY t;;l,.s method, the bottles will be
