HEAVY PASTURiNG Is
FAVORED BY EXPERTS
Best Results Are Obtained by
Continuous Grazing.
Experiments Conducted at Different
Stations Show That Pastures Are
Being Utilized to One-HaIf
Their Capacity.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
For every 100 acres of other crops
on farms in the United States, say ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture. there are 91.5 acres of
pasture, of which about one-third is
listed as improved pasture" Cora
is the only crop that exceeds in acre
age improved pasture.
Some years ago an ample series of
experiments on typical bluegrass pas
ture was conducted by the department
comparatively with the Virginia ex-
pertinent station. These experiments
showed clearly that heavy pasturing
resulted In twice the returns that light
pasturing as generally practiced gives.
Furthermore, after heavy pasturing
the pastures were in much better con-
dition. Alternate grazing showed no
advantage over continuous grazing.
The results show clearly that pastures
in general are being utilized only to
one-half their productivity, and that
tniS nght pasturing is TO their detri-
ment. Comparable results were later
obtained in North Dakota and in Utah.
The prejudice against heavy pastur-
ing Is due partly to the desire of the
farmer to avoid the possibility of a
shortage Of pasture and partly to the
idea that heavy pasturing is injurious
to the grass. Sacrificing half the
value OF the pastures is a much more
costly insurance than a reserve of hay
or silage, and besides the old grass
In humid regions is eaten by animals
only to prevent starvation. Over
grazing Of a creeping grass that will
injure the stand is not possible as
long as there Is sufficient to fill the
animals stomachs; on bunch grasses
1t is quite otherwise, as these can be
destroyed by over-grazing.

II the road is dangerously narrow
now, as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will 1t be
In twenty years?
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
travelled roads a greater width will
seem narrow In twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear to the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the road and fence. Every foot is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
Is as much a part of the. European
highways as is the case with our city
paved streets.
We are at the beginning of motor
transport Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, we will find
the highways crowded and our pos
sible relief from railway congestion
annulled. A few dollars saved now
In narrowing our paved highways will
prove short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly OF
constructing our canals too. narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes
boats needed in Atlantic transport dur
ing the war had to be cut in two and
taken through the canals In pieces.
Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports
until the canals and locks are en-
larged. This is highway lesson to
US. Look to the future.

RIGHT TIME TO CUT TIMBER
Disease and Insects Do Not Attack
Wood Out of Doors During
Winter Weather.

Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage or
handling is impracticable, winter cut
ting is best. Fungi and insects do not
attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the time warm wealth.
er arrives the wood is partly seasoned
and somewhat less susceptible TO at
tack. 1t is for these reasons that WIN
ter cutting is advantageous, and not
on account of smaller amount of mois-
ture or sap in the wood In winter, as
the popular belief has it. There is
practically no difference in moisture
content of green wood in winter and
summer

~, the hens to Gull are those that are
sick, weak. inactive. lacking in vigor,
poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull,
or whitish-colored combs; with thick,
stiff pelvic bones that are close to-
gether; small spread or distance be-
tween rear end Of keel and pelvic
bones; full, firm, or hard abdomen;
and those that have molted or started
to mott in August or September. In
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow
beaks, and yellow skin around the
vent.
The hens to be kept should be
healthy. vigorous, active. good eat
ers, with plump. bright-red combs;
large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic
bones spread well apart; wide
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel; large, soft. pliable abdO-
men; and neither molted nor mott
ing In August or September In
breeds with yellow legs and skin
the hens you keep should also show
pale or white legs and pale or white
beaks and vents.
AS soon as the culling Is finished
all the hens you have discarded should
be marketed at once. 1t doesn't pay
to keep one. Cock birds not wanted
as breeders should he canned. eaten,
or marketed Immediately. Cockerels
saved for breeding should be vigorous.
strong, active, and alert, and should
be those that have grown most rapid
ly and developed the best. No bird
lacking these qualities will be a good
breeder.
Pullets that are weak, understood,
and poorly developed also should be
eaten, canned, or marketed, as they
will not be profitable producers; but
no thrifty, well-developed pullets
should ever be disposed of In this
way, because it Is these pullets when
kept for layers and breeders that will
net the greatest profits.
Late MoIters Best for Breeders.
The mott probably is the best and
most easily applied test Of production.
Hens cease laying completely or al
most entirely during this period. The
better producers lay late in the fall,
and therefore mott late. Late molters
also mott rapidly as rule, while early
molters mott slowly. Therefore the
advice is to save hens which have not
molted by August or are only just be-
ginning late In September or in Oc-
tober, and discard those that have fin
ished melting or are well into the
mott. Hens that molt latest, provided
they are otherwise desirable are the
best to save for breeders.

ROAD LEGISLATION OPPOSED
Engineers, Dairy Farmers, Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Making vigor-
Gus Protests.

All industry and great portion of
the agricultural interests of the cOun-
try are up in arms against the hasty
and ill-advised legislation already en-
acted by few states and pending in
others which threatens to strangle one
of the nations most essential indus
tries, motortruck transportation, says
writer in an exchange.
The protests come from highway
engineers, dairy farmers, fruit and
vegetable growers, grain belt shippers,
all lines of industry and commerce and
other operators of motorrucks and
their patrons.
They say increased license fees and
restrictive legislation have been eff.
fected without sufficient investigation
and without conclusive evidence.
4 sensible solution is being worked
out by the state of Illinois. The state
highway department has under con-
struction an experimental road con-
tanning GA test sections, each section
differing from the others in design.

best time to emphasize the operation.
perhaps. is during August and Septem-
Der, according to the teachings of ex-
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture. That is to say, If you
intend to make Just one culling in the
year then August or September should
be your date.
1t Is easier then to make close
estimate of the relative value of hen
as an egg producer and to weed out
the poor producers. Hens which show
indications of laying or are laying and
have not molted usually are the ones
that have been the better layers dur
ing the entire season, and the hen that
lays best during her first year usually
will lay well during the second and
third years. She is the hen to keep.
1t is not advisable. though, to keep
hens Of the heavier breeds. such as
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds,
and Brahmas, beyond their second
year. or of the smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns and Anconas. beyond
their third year, as they seldom prove
profitable.
In addition to culllng the entire
flock in August and September, you
should always watch for hens that are
sick or very thin in flesh, or that show
signs of weakness or low vitality.
When discovered Gull them out at
once. 1t will pay.
Keep Only Healthy Hens.
Culling properly means using sew
eral tests, all fairly accurate If intel
ligently and carefully applied. For
this reason it is wise to send for De-
partment Circular 81, which may be

IMPROVED

Eighteen Feet Should Be the Mini.

Travelled Roads.

Through all the years we have been
trying to maintain from forty to sixty
foot roads in a large percentage OF
our public highways when such
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this lack of care has made them
spreaders of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway. well kept. would
In most cases serve all the purposes
required. drainage and safety, says
the Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are to be hard
surfaced the tendency is to go to the
other extreme in order to save taxes
for paving. We must look ahead. If
we put down a paving that will last
fifteen or twenty years, we must esti-
mate If possible the amount and kind
of traffic 1t will bear at that time.
