GOOD ROADS REDUCE PRICES
Poor Transportation Facilities Help
Keep Up High Cost Of Liv-
ing in Big Cities.

One of the solutions Of the high
cost Of living problem lies in good
roads. Poor transportation facilities
form a strong factor in keeping prices
up. With system Of well paved ma
tional highways transportation condi-
lions would be improved to such an
extent that the cost and time of bring.
ing food and merchandise to the con-
sumner would be materially cut.

"We are cutting our timber probably

generous use which American indus
try has made of our forests. It has
contributed powerfully to the indus
trial development and commercial su-
premacy Of the United States. The
forestry problem does not result from
the liberal use Of our forests, but
from our failure to use our forest
growing land. There is an ample
area of land in this country, which is
not tillable, to support all Of our tim
Der requirements, all of our wood

ing and agricultural use Of lumber,

LEeuMINous HAYS FOR COWS
Corn Stage 10 Excellent FEED, but
Not q Balanced ,0ne-Leoumes
Furnish Protein.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture) Il
The best kinds Of dry r0ughAge for
feeding dairy cows in connection with
corn silage or roots are leguminOus
hays, such as alfalfa, red, crimson, or
alsike clover, and soy bean or cow
pea hay, in the opinion Of experts Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. While corn silage Is an ex-
cellent feed, 1t is not a balanced one,
as 1t does not contain sufficient pro
tein and mineral matter to meet fully
the requirements Of the COW. The
leguminous hays, in addition to be-
ing very palatable, tend to correct
this deficiency. They are also among
the best and cheapest sources Of
protein. !;
One or more Of these hays can be
grown on practically any farm. III
addition to their value for feeding
purposes, they improve the soil in
which they grow. Hay from Canada
field peas, sown with oats to prevent
the peas from lodging, also makes
an excellent roughage.
Corn slower, sorghum, ETC., also
find good market through the dairy
COW. This class Of roughage Is low
IN protein, however, and when. It is
used the grain ration must be richer
In this element.
No positive rule can be laid down
as to the quantity Of dry roughage
that should be fed, but from 6 to ~
pounds day for each cow, In addition
to silage, will be found satisfactory
In most cases.
When the dry roughage is Of poor
quality, such as coarse, woody hay or
i poor grade Of cornstalks, large por-
ton can often be given to advantage,
allowing the COW to pick out the best
and using the rejected part for bed
ding. With this quantity Of dry rough
age the COW will take, according to

PROBLEM IN N. D,

Bismarck, N. d.. April 22-(Spec-
iaD How to get them down on the
farm" continues to be a problem,
according to representatives of the
state-federal employment service for
North Dakota.
While there is q surplus Of skilled
workers IN the state at present, there
is demand for experienced farm
workers. There were untitled or
ders for between $50 and 200 farm
hands yesterday. the employment Of
fices reported.
A large number Of workers who
left the farm to go into factories in
largo cities during the last four years
have asked for farm jobs this spring,
according to the employment repre-
sentatiyes.
An experienced farm worker is
one who has three to five years ex-
perience on q farm, in the eyes OF
the employment men. While there
are plenty of laborers willing to take
farm jobs there is need Of exper-
fenced farm help.

Provides New Bureau
The bill provides for a bureau of

ment to prepare the estimates Of ap-
preparations needed by the various
departments.
The original bill provided for the
appointment Of comptroller gener-
al to hold Office during good behav-
tor and to be removed only by con-
current resolution of congress. The
provision formed the objection voic-
ed by President Wilson who held
that 1t would take from the president
the power to remove executive of
ficials.
The offices of comptroller and as
sistant comptroller of the treasury
would be abolished under the revis-
ed bill, and in their stead offices Of
comptroller general and assistant
