INCREASE OF BETTER SIRES
During Last Quarter of Year Many
Persons Have Done Away With
Scrubs and Grades.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AgricuIture.1
The Better Sires-Better Stock
campaign, inaugurated by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the autumn of 1919 TO stimulate the
replacement of low-claSs breeding ami
mails with purebred sires and improved
females. has gone ahead with in
creased impetus in recent months in
spite of depression in the farming and
livestock business. During the last
quarter year ending September 30, S94
persons were enrolled as having done
away with all scrub and grade or
croSsbred sires and having determined
to use only purebred sires henceforth
for all classes of stock raised This
shows a promising increase over the
two preceding quarters in which IA
and 333 persons. respectively, were
enrolled. There was a corresponding
gain in both animals and poultry re-
ported by these owners. the com
bined total for the three months
reaching 10S906. O
one Of the encouraging develop
ments of the campaign is the spread
OF this improvement idea throughout
the country. Farmers and breeders
of all kinds in nearly all the states
are signing the pledge to eliminate
poor blood i'm their herds and f1ocks.
The leading state in the number of
new members for the last three
months was Virginia, with 2S7. Ohio
was good second, with 80, and ex-
ceeded Virginia by a considerable
margin in the number of animals and
poultry pledged to be bred only TO
purebred sires. Nebraska was third.
with 153, and Kentucky fourth. with
though having Comparatively few
signers, showed a widespread interest,
with 10 new counties Joining the
ranks.
Belmont county, Ohio, led the cOun-
ties in the country in the progress
made during the last quarter, with "a
new signers. Hardin, another Ohio
had 40. and Licking county 80
Six counties I'm Virginia had more than
20 each. Three counties in Kentucky
had more than - each, and three in
Nebraska each exceeded 20.
In the two years that the campaign
has been In progress 1O2,437 cattle

pledge also II 800 horses. 493 asses,
1887 swine, 1921 sheep, 2789 goats,

Early Matching is of more Importance
according TO the comments of poultry
men, than the figures in the table in
1icate. 1t appears that relatively few
flock owners are familiar with the ad-
santages of early Matching. but those
Who do their Matching early find 1t a
distinct benefit. For instance, one
farmer says, Last year all of my
chickens Matched after the first of June
we're runts. Those before that were
normal and were laying in October.
The same care and feed were given to
Ill of them" Another observes. "When
get my chicks Matched in April and
hay I do not have runts in my flock"
Still another estimates that one-third
IF late matches are runty. Hatch no
hicks later than May L" he says.
OF equal interest are the warnings
against inbreeding. I'VE have no runts
n our poultry is the statement of
Virginia farmer. who adds. I'VE buy
Iurebred cocks from a different strain
very year" Keep purebred fowls ano
,hange the sire every year" is the in
JUNCTION of another pOultryman, and
iis experience is typical of many others
Farmers experiences with early
latching tally with the results of ex-
)eriments by the bureau of animal
industry of the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture. In these expert
nents the early Matched chicks showed
marked superiority over those pur-
losely Matched late There was a
Oticeably steady degradation in size
nd type of the late chicks compared
nth those Matched early.
From these side lights il is easily
cen that the questions of runtiness
nd good livestock management are
loosely related and are tied up with
economic factors OF great importance.

| TO approve any new projects until
reimbursement is made by the state.
What the new appropriation will
mean to the country can be judged by
the use to which the $275,0OO.OO0 pre-
viously appropriated has been put, &C
cording TO officials of the United States
Department of Agriculture Practically
$2O0,0 100000 of that money has been put
to work i'm projects which are either
entirely completed or now under con-
Struction. The exact amount was $780,
S23, 427 on October 81 To match this
amount the states have appropriated
$265. 500, 900. making a total of $465,-
80, 517.
Mileage Sufficient to EncircIe Earth.
The roads to be paid for by this
money, if placed end to end. would en-
circle the earth and extend from New
York To San Francisco on the second
lap, the total mileage of the roads
under construction and completed be
ing reported by the bureau of public
roads as 27.000 miles on October 81
OF this mileage, 9.555 miles is in prof
ectS which are entirely completed and
the contractors discharged The bal
ance of 17,445 miles is in projects
which are still under construction, but
which were 80 per cent complete on
October 81. In these projects there is
therefore the equivalent of 1900
miles of completed road. so that the
completed road to date totals over 21.-
600 miles.
The average cost per mile Of the
roads built with federal aid has been
between $1,000 and $4,000. More
than half the money has been spent
for roads with the highest types OF
surface. such as concrete. brick. and
bituminous concrete. but a very large
mileage OF roads of the cheaper type,
such as gravel and sand-clay. has been
buiit where such types would withstand
the wear of the traffic.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no active part in the
road construction of the country. To
day about one-half of all the roads that
are being built are being aided by
the government financially. and the
construction is subject to the inspec-
ton and approval of federal engineers.
Work for Quarter Million Men.
1t is estimated by engineers of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture that the federal-aid roads under
on October 81 were CIV
ing employment to about 100000 men,
either directly on the actual road con-
structiOn or indirectly in the produc-
ton and transportation of the ma
terials which enter into the construc-
ton.

Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The information was obtained from
nearly 1000 farmers To whom ques>
uonnaireS were sent. Although these
farmers were considered to be better
than the average, they reported that
Z per cent Of their animals were under
sized to such degree as to be called
runty. This means. If the percentage
holds true for all farms of the country,
that more than $4,000 900 animals, not
Including feathered stock. are runts.
In addition 611 per cent OF the poultry
on these farms was understood. which
means that there is. perhaps, even a
higher percentage for the total farms
of the United States.
Inbreeding and poor matings, as a
cause, are the principal factors dis
tinguishing runtiness in feathered
stock from that in other farm animals.
Il is the consensus of opinion of All
poultry owners, in all parts Of the
country, that the following causes are
chiefly responsible for the runts found

IF you CARE FOR CALVES

Don't slaughter or sell
heifer calf from a profitable COW.
Raise it.
Don't keep your cows in a
dark. damp, dirty pen.
Don't Ovs: feed them.
Don't feed milk at 100 degrees
temperature one time and so de
grees the next time.
Don't feed sweet milk one
time and sour milk the next
time.
Don't feed from dirty buckets
and never from a trough.
Doing any of the last five
things is apt to cause ''scours"
and "Stunted calves"
Don't feed the grain in the
milk {; feed it dry. Chewing it
aids digestion. Mixing it in milk
means more scours.
Don't feed the foam that
forms on milk as it comes from
the separator. nor that on whole
fresh milk. Foam is bubbles
bubbles are full of gas and gas
causes collie and sometimes
scourS.
Don't expose young stock TO
cold, bleak weather, nor allow
them TO drink very cold water in
winter.

The federal highway act in a general
way resembles the federal-aid act of
1916. but contains several new features.
Administration of the act by the secre-
tarv Of agriculture, and under him the
bureau of public roads, remains I'M
changed.
Apportionment Of the fund TO the
states is almost the same as in the pre-
Gus act, the fund being divided into
rec parts. one part appOrtiOned &C
ording to population, one according to
area, and one part according to mileage
Of rural and star mail routes. A
new feature is the stipulation that no
slate shall receive less than One-half
of l per cent of the total fund which.
in this case. amounts to 1865. 625. This
stipulation will increase the amount
received by four of the smaller states,
1. e.. Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Change in Use Of State AIotments.
There is considerable change how
ever, in the manner in which state
NAV use its allotment. Each state
must select a connected road system
not exceeding per cent of its road
mileage for Improvement with federal
aid. This system will be divided into
TWO classes. one of which will be known
III nd no or
as intercounty highways. The inter
state highways must not exceed three
seventies of the system selected; on
them not more than 90 per cent of the
state's allotment can be spent with
out the joint approval of the secretary
at agriculture and the state highway
department. The intercounty high
ways, which consist of the remainder
Of the system selected, Will receive
the remainder of the states allotment.
Except in states where more than
per cent of the area is unappropriated
public land, the amount of federal aid
received on any project must not ex-
coed 80 per cent of the estimated cost. |
In states where more than per cent |
Of the area is unappropriated public |
land the % per cent allOt1nent Is IN |
creased by an amount equal TO one |
half the percentage of unappropriated |
public land in the state. Before any |

Dartment, to match the federal allot-
ment. and for the maintenance of
