MILK HELPS YOUNG ANIMAL s
Skim Milk and Other Creamery By. Products Are Useful Feeds for
 Pigs and Calves.

While whole milk Is natures bal anced food and is valuable for young animals, skim milk and other creamery by-productS, such as butternflk and whey, are also useful feeds, say spe- cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Skim milk is fed to young pigs in the proportion of about three pounds to one of cOncen- trates, such as cornmeal or shorts. Buttermilk, which has not been dt- lHted too much with water. has nearly the same feeding value as skim milk. It is a better food for swine than for calves because 1t Is apt to cause df- gestive disturbances when fed to the latter, unless considerable care is used. Whey Is used almost exclusive ly in feeding swine. It is about two thirds as valuable as skim milk as a food. Accordingly from ten to twelve pounds of whey are equivalent to one pound of grain. Sweet skim milk, when supplemented with other feed such as corn meal or wheat shorts. Is very good for young calves. If beef calves are to be fed skim milk, they should be fed in practically the same manner as dairy calves.

MATHEMATICS OF BAD ROADS
Farmer Solves Problem of Hours Lost in Making Trip Over Road That
 is Deep in Mud.

If it takes a farmer, making u trip through the mud one hour and a half longer than when the roads are firm, how many hours are lost in a year if 1000 farmers make an average of 12 trips a month? What would be the monetary loss If each IF hours lost be estimated at 75 cents per hour for each man and his team? This two in-One" proposition gave our old cat considerable trouble, but he finally worked it out thus: One farmer mul- tiplied by 113 hours multiplied by 12 trips, multiplied by 1000 farmers, multiplied by 12 months equals 216,- 900 hours lost; going a step further. and multiplying 216,OOO by 75 cents, you have S162OO0 per annum lost to the farmers. Our old cat is now pon- dering how many road bonds this annual loss would float at 5 per cent Times.

HIGHER PRICES FOR HORSES
Farmers Are Advised to Breed Moro Heavy Draft Animals Wanted
 for City Hauling.

Heavy draft horses are in greater demand and commanding higher prices than at any time in the last 20 years, according to the proprietor of a Bos- ton trucking concern which maintains 100 horses and 2S auto trucks. In a letter received at University farm he says: For the short haul the horse has no competitor. We buy at any time and have paid as high as $500 each, but are not getting as good horses as we would like to use. We believe the peak stage of motortruck sales and use has been reached. Farmers should be encouraged to breed better horses"

GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice as Much Fuel on Dirt HI0hfays as on One
 Built of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost of gasoline more than 50 per cent is stated by Freight Transportation Di-
 gest." A loaded two-ton truck was used in a test and in running 100
 miles on an earth road consumed IFS
 gallons Of gasoline, making an aver age Of 5.7S miles a gallon. The cost figured at 25 cents a gallon was $4.3S. The same truck was used on a con- crete road and travelled the same dis tance on S.49 gallons of gasoline, mak- ing HTS miles per gallon. The cost
 in this case. figured on the same basis, was $2.12. The net savings in cost Of gasoline on the improved high way was therefore S2.21, or more than 100 per cent.
 Statisticians could step in here and conjure a colossal sum to represent the savings in gasoline cost if all the highways of the United States were paved, remarks the Columbus (O.) Dispatch. They could for instance, assume that all Of the one-half million motortrucks in the country were two ton trucks and on this basis figure out saving in gasoline costs equal to a couple of Liberty loan issues.
 This enormous reduction in gasoline costs, coupled with the ability to handle loads with less fractional ef- fort, has become one of the strongest arguments for good roads. The two tests cited in this instance show con clusively that poor roads are expen- sive to the farmer and merchant alike. The farmer who hauls with a motor truck is getting only one-eighth of the profit he could get and the merchant and inter-city freight truck operator are paying out twice what they should for gasoline and are getting only one eighth of the profit they could get.

 And the truth was that Cranston had reasoned out the situation almost perfectly. When Dan awakened ia the morning, and the snow lay already a foot deep over the wilderness world, he knew that he would have no chance to act upon the Cranston case until the snows melted in the spring. So he pushed all thought of 1t out of his mind and turned his attention to more pleasant subjects. It was true that he read the documents over twice as he lay in bed.

They were not only enough to break up the ring and send it's members to prison: with the aid Of the empty shell and other cfrcumstantial evidence. they could in all probability convict Bert Cranston of murder.
 For long time he stood with the shadows of the pines lengthening about him. his gray eyes in curious shadow. For the moment a glimpse was given him into the deep wells of the human soul; and understanding came to him. Was there no balm for hatred even in the moment of death7 Were men unable to forget the themes and motives of their lives, even when the shadows closed down upon them Hildreth. had known what hand had struck him down. And even on the frontier Of death, his first thought was to hide his evidence where Cranston could not find it when he searched the body, but where later it might be found by the detectives that were sure to come. It was the old creed of a life for a life. He wanted his evidence to be preserved-not that right should be wronged, but so that Cranston would be prosecuted and convicted and made to suffer. His hatred of Cranston that had made him turn states evidence in the first place had been carried with him down into death

 The snow began to fall in earnest at lw~g n-r most in an instant covered the leaves. It was the real beginning of winter, and all living creatures knew it. The wolf pack sang to it from the ridge a wild and plaIntive song that made Bert Cranston, sleeping in a lean-to on the Umpqua side of the Divide, swear and mutter in his sleep. But he didn't really waken until Jim Gibbs, enc of his gang, returned from his secret mission.
 They wasted no words. Bert flung aside the blankets, lighted a candle and placed 1t out of the reach of the night wind. His face looked swarthy and deep-lined in its light
