Motor Transport Brings
Changes in Road Plans

Evidences are constantly growing
more numerous of the rapid develop
ment of highway transportation and
some expert observers are predicting
the construction, in the near future,
of broad trunk line highways for the
exclusive use of trains of motor trucks,
running on regular schedule time. The
amount of freight carried over the Lin
coin highway between New York and
Philadelphia is so large in volume that
on many days in the year passenger
traffic is rendered actually uncomfort-
able.
This condition exists in other 10
calities and it is interesting to note
that Massachusetts is working on a
plan to give information to motorists
of secondary routes that may be used
with greater ease and comfort than
the more congested main thorough
fares One of the heavily Travelled
routes in that state, which carries a
large amount of merchandise between
Boston and Providence. is the Provid-
enee turnpike and an alternative route
has just been suggested, with good
road surface and insuring passenger
car tourists greater comfort. Another
important factor in the problems of
road transportation is the increasing
use of the motor bus which shows
every indication of rapid development
within the Hext few years.

Investigators for the bureau of mines
report that electric lamps for miners

while the use oflelectric lamps has in
creased in inverse ratio. In early min

Good Pasture Helps Out
Cost of Producing Milk

Lower prices for dairy products now
prevailing makes it all the more nee
essary to reduce the cost of produc
ton.
Feed cost in most cases is the big
gest single factor influencing cost of
milk production, and one problem be-
fore the dairyman at this season of
the year is how best to keep his cows
producing heavily throughout the sum-
mer months at the lowest cost.
A pasture which is both luxuriant in
growth and also of value during the
late summer and early fall months is
the logical solution of this problem.
Good pasture during the spring,
summer and fall months prevents the
necessity of feeding hay in the lot. and
the hauling of that hay. 1t eliminates
the problem of hauling manure at q
time of the year when most dairymen
are busiest and It provides, with the
addition of a small grain ration. sue
culent balanced food resulting in
heavy production at very low cost.
Pasture mixtures, such as are sug-
gested by the Colorado state dairy
commissioner. based on his IA years of
experimental work will. when perma.
nently established. cut down the cost
of summer feeding and labor expense
and keep the cows producing well dur
ing the hot months.
A letter asking for this information
may save many dollar otherwise
spent for feed.-H. r. Lascelles, Field
man. State Dairy Commissioner.

The leaves of melon vines are Occa-

greenish lice. These lice feed by suck
ing the juices from the plant.
The young are born alive. A ma
ture female usually gives birth to sew
eral young a day. In case of this
aphid no true sexual forms or eggs
are known. Reproduction from infer
tilted females seems to take place
throughout the year.
Control: Usually this aphid is kept
under control to large extent by par
asites and predators. However. under
favorable conditions the aphids may
become sufficiently abundant to re-
quire an artificial remedy. The most
satisfactory remedy known is a
thorough spraying of the vines with
nicotine sulphate, two tablespoonfuls
to four gallons Of water. with about
one-half bar of good laundry soap
added. The soap should be shaved and
dissolved in small portion of the
water before being added. Nicotine
sulphate dust is also an effective rem
edy. The dust may be prepared by
thoroughly mixing s ounces of nicotine

Number of Times Alfalfa
Should Be Cut for Hay

The number Of times alfalfa should
be cut for hay in northern ATTITUDES
has not been settled. Professor L. F..
GRADER of the Wisconsin College of Ag-
ricultureN is a firm believer in cutting
alfalfa twice He holds that the two
cutting plan saves labor, that the al
falfa is less likely to winterkill, and
that more favorable weather for hay
ing can be depended upon. Further.
when the two-cutting system Is en-
ployed, hay making comes when there
is no interference with corn cultiva-
ton OrNharvest.
Mr.. GRADER found that alfalfa which
was cut in the bud stage three times a
season yielded 1.9 tons per acre, that
cut In the tenth-bloom stage three
times a season yielded 2.7 tons per
acre, land that cut only twice per year
in the full bloom stage yielded 3.4
tons per acre.
When only two cuttings of alfalfa
are made, the hay. while the yield is
larger, is also much coarser. So far
as we know, experiments have not been
conducted to determine the relative
feeding value Of alfalfa hay cut two
and three times during the season. 1t
would be well If such experiments
were made, to determine the relative
feeding value of hay cut by these two
plans and the amount of waste. 1t is
quite possible that by grinding alfalfa
the coarser hay would serve nearly
as well and that, owing to the larger
yield, it would produce as much or
more milk.
