That the present interest In the con-
.structi0n Of new highways should not
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved il
q point which the bureau of public
roads, United States department Of az
riculture. has had occasion to elnpha-
many times In recent months. par
ticularly In view Of the enormous In
crease IN motor vehicle traffic which IL
taking place. The bureau recently
completed a compilation OF statistics
from all the states of the Union show
ing that there were a total Of 1868. 446
registered motor cars (including motor
cycles and trucks) in the United
States IN 1919. This Is an increase Of
% ner cent, or 1.41S,829 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, 1t Is pointed
out, and in consequence added atten-
ton must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase In the number OF
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more ears than the
total number registered In the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use Of roads and streets
has. Of course. been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments In the form OF IL
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license e for auto
mobiles. trucks. and motor cycles In
use in 1919 totaled $64. 697 255.5S-an
Increase of 20 per cen Over 1918. The

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Cnwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results.

"That he is all through paying fam
cy prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising SOME of
the best hogs on the market" was the
statement made recently By E. H.
Beckstead, well known hog raiser and
authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what lie can
make himself. He states that what
the hogs need are minerals, and tells
the secret Of his wonderful success
by explaining that he takes about five
pounds of ordinary m%ineraline (which
is pure concentrated minerals and cost
only a couple of dollars) and mixes
same with enough bran OF filler to
make q hundred pounds. All hogs
and especially brood sows require min
erals as they keep them free from
worms, and in the pink Of condition,
and are ESSENTIAL to the hogs growth
and a well balanced ration. This in
expensive mixture placed in a shelf
cred box where the hogs can &c: at
it as they need it, will produce far
better results thar any high priced
! so.called stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co, 1858 North Wells St.
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. -2-18-4w. ADV

canal. The participation Of the ma
tional government in highway improve
ment marked a departure from a policy
which had been followed for nearly
a century. Federal cooperation with
the states on approximately a 5000"
basis has counted more than any other
factor, says Mr.. Macdonald. in initi-
ating highway construction that is be-
ing carried on under adequate super
vision. and in accord with a program
co-ordinating local, state and national
needs.
Second only in importance to the
size Of the present BODYBUILDING pro-
gram Is the excellence Of the char
acter of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent of the total allotment Of fed
eral funds which has been approved
10 date will be spent for roads of
such durable types as bituminous con-
crete. Portland cement concrete. and
vitrifed brick. These roads, when
built. will increase by 1900 miles the
total Of l4.4OO miles Of roads Of this
class which existed in the United
States before the federal-aid road law
was passed. But these figures by no
means represent the total mileage af-
fected.
In 1915 the total expenditure for
roads and bridges by all the states and
local governments was $267 100000.
while this year the estimated funds
available for main road construction
or $685., 100000. In all. federal funds
to the amount Of $266. 10000 have
been apportioned among IS states
without a suggestion of favoritism-
70 adequate are the provisions for .
just appOrtiOnlnent.
One Of the early and most far-reach-
Ing results directly attributable to the
adoption of the federal-aid program
was the creation Of adequate state
highway departments In II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment, or departments insuficiently
equipped. Within M year after the
passage of the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis-
lation was placed upon the statute
books than had v been enacted In
a similar period in the history Of the
country.
The insistence of the government
upon the construction of federal-aid
roads under the supervision Of engi.
neers Of the state departments has re-
suited In placing a much larger pro-
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1915, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed. only
81 per cent OF the money for roads
ard bridges built in the United States
was expended under the supervision
Of state highway departments. This
year these departments will exercise
control over fully so per cent of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.

ALL RECEIVE SOME Benefit
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads of the great pro-
ducing zones Of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers. but 10 consumers. When
marketing IL distributed throughout
the year, storage charges must decline.
This country Is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstulfs. The dis
advantages Of freight congestion in the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated in
many places. but good roads will GER
tainly have a marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
It 10 reasonable to say. therefore,
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged. the area
Of profitable production Increased. the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform distribu-
tion OF farm products secured.
