CHINA HAS POOR

Pekin. July l6.-President HaG Sh.h-chang, discussing railways in his book recently issued. China Aft CT the War" recites that China has PA railway lines, with a total mile age of about 700U, whereas the United States with an area about the same as China. and with only one fourth the population. has 266'Ooo miles of railway, or so times as much. Many of our lines" he con tiEues, were at first built with for e!gn capital. The diversity Of for eign interests has made it impossi hle to lay out our lines according 70 some comprehensive plan for the whole country, Such being the ease, part of the capital seems to have been in~ vested in unimportant routes. while many more important regions are without modern means of commuai- cation.
 Since the first construction of railways in China, 40 years lgo. TO less than S400,0O0, GOO has been ex- pended; yet trunk lines are found only north of the Yangtsze river and east of the Honan province. leaving the great plains to the south and WtSA Hi aNNANaiiN u4li q Nl Nch | his not only hirders the proper indus trial development of the country, but 1t also sows the seeds of future ln- ternational complications Therefore, in the interest of all concerned. ar engagements should be modified so as to preclude undesirable possibilities.

 In ancient China, well constructed courier roads used to radiate from the metropolis to the provincial cap | itals. and from these to other cities of the country. There were more than 60, 900 miles of roads but now adays few of them are fit for trav- cling.
 The United States alone has more than 2,ooo,000 miles of highways some time ago. the minister Of | interior promulgate a set of regu- lations for construction of high ways, The programme was an ann bilious one. Although 1t is not easy to carry it out a good beginning will have been made if the ole courier roads are reconstructed sc that there will be 10000 miles oi good roads radlating mrom the na- tional capital, and another 50.00( miles radiating from the proviacia capitals The mileage of rivers nav igable by Chinese junks is over 20, 900 miles and waterways navigablt by steamers and steam launches an other 5000 or 5000.

Good bright all falfa or other legume hay should also be supplied daily because it gives the necessary bulk to the ration and also supplies much mineral matter which is essential for bone building and frame development,
 "A good pasture with plenty of shade is an excellent place for the calves during the day, and also at night, because it not only furnishes some cheap feed but also gives the animals a chance to take exercise which is necessary for the proper growth and development.
 Older Steers
 "The older steers are also allowed to suck twice daily which is followed | by their grain which is composed ot equal parts of cracked corn oats ane wheat bran A steer on full feed should consume around pound of grain per hundred pounds live weight and this may be increased slightly if he Is given three feeds day.

The special car detailed to arrive failed to show up at the camp because of the heavy rains at Rockford and the. surrounding sections.

RAINS INCREASE CROP PROSPECTS All Crops Helped Except Early Corn, Says Weekly
 Summary
By FRED II. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Herald 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, July 16.-( Especial )- Prospects for good crop this year have been materially increased by the good rains which have fallen throughout the state during the week, according to the weekly sum- mary of conditions issued today by F. w. Gist, agricultural statistician for the state and federal govern ment. All crops have been helped except the early corn, which received little help from the moisture.
 Boil weevils have shown up in practically all counties, including those in the extreme northern tier The first crop of eggs was unusually large and the propagation of the pest has been advanced by the rains. MT. Gist said the plant Is very small and that the blooms are suspiciously near the top.
 Food and feed crops produced last year arc now placed on the market, particular attention being paid to the local markets because of the high freight rates MT. Gist said the cotton crop this year Is only 1i.G per cent of the total and that these who have been dealing with the far mers in the past must readjust their methods of doing business to meet 1 the new methods of those producing crops
 Crop summory for week ending July 16, follows:
 With possibly a few local excep- tions good rains have fallen over the entire state during the week. and all crops except cotton have been 1 benefited. In fact, with the excep- ton of early planted corn. the pros poets of production have materially l <+.r.x Dar knxt cn nl n- didly freshened and hay has taken on new life in all sections
 Weevil damage is being reported from all parts of the state, even in most northernly counties. The first crop of eggs was unusually large | this year. and the rains of the week
 heve been favorable for their de- velopment. Cotton is still very small in weed, and blooms are being no- ticed suspiciously near the top.
 Considerable activity is noted all | ready toward the marketing or sur pluses of food and feed commodities. i Efforts are being made to interest local markets in the consumption or | home raised products, saving long freight hauls and way profits. as well as resulting in exchange for ! goods which the farmer is going to need this fall If the farmer nas to sell away from home he will buy away from home. Alabama consum-
 CTS of hay cannot expect to use Nebraska hay and sell their goods to Alabama farmers. So long as cotton I was the only medium or excnanse the grower was compelled to trade ! on the traders own term. cotton this year occupies only 14o per cent 1 of the crop acreage or the state and the men who do business With
 the farmer this year will nave to adjust methods to other things. Those who get ready for 1t now l will get the business; those wno
 wait to see what cotton Is going to
 do will find themselves left at sell ling time.

Auburn, July 6,-(SpeciaI.) At the first Alabama statewide fat steer show. which was conducted at the State Fair at Birmingham last fall, the animal husbandry department al Auburn was one of the biggest prize winners. coming out with the grand champion of all beef breeds and the champion Hereford and Angus, And since a second show will be held at the State Fair this fall the methods used by the animal husbandry de- partment in preparing the steers for show purposes will doubtless be of much interest. Many requests have reached Auburn for information along this line, and Prof. F. w. Burns, assistant animal husbandman, explains the Auburn method as fol- lows:
 "In the first place we divide our steers into two groups, according to age, placing all calves under months in one group and the larger steers in second group This is al most necessary to get the best re- suits because different rations and care must be given each class. The older steers must be given feeds ot such nature as to fatten them, while the young calves must have a ra- tion that will build muscle and bon' as well as fatten,
 MiIk Essential
 l Milk is absolutely essential for al show steers, but care must be uset in giving the steers the proper amount, particularly during the sum mer months. Each calf is allowed t' suck twice daily, and at the first in dcation of SCOUTS the amount O. milk is reduced and a purgativ' given. It is usually necessary to re sort to nurse cows for the olde steers. because they require nor milk than the COW can supply ant for this reason it Is well to teaci the young calves to nurse other cows because it is often difficult to ge older salves started on nurse cows
 Tn addition to milk. the calf shoul' be given grain ration. "A standar' ration that we find very satisfactor! here is two parts of oats, one 0
