Highway Travel Is
Given Recognition
OF Equal Importance and Deserves
Equal Protection, Says State
Railroad Commission

Gravel on the highway is be-
coming, if it is not already, of
equal Importance with travel on
the railway, and is entitled to equal
protection.
This statement was made in a re-
cent order of the State Railroad
and Warehouse commission. The
order, affecting grade crossing at
GAINESVILLE, is of interest because it
contains statements which will be
applicable all over the state. =
Residents of the village petition
ed for crossing gates where trunk
highway No. Z crosses the Chicago
& Northwestern tracks in the vii
lage. The company proposed to in
stall automatic wig-wag signals if
additions protection was found
necessary. The commission order
ed automatic signals of a type
which will show "stop" both when
trains are approaching and when
the device is out of order.
Crossing gates were mainly de-
signed for protection at crossings
when the traffic was principally
horse-drawn," says the commits
sion. 'For such vehicle traffic they
served their purpose well. They
do not however, meet the require
ments of the rapid motor transport
tation on our present greatly i'm
proved highways. The automatic
wig-wag type of highway signal
proposed by the railroad company
does not fully protect travel on
the highway inasmuch aas the fail
ure of any part controlling the OPP
Grafton of the signal, leaves it at it's
restrictive position, a practice di-
rectly in conflict with the Ameri-
can railway association requisites
of installation for automatic signal
systems for the purpose of safe
guarding train operation.
"No signal should be installed
which indicates to public travel
approaching the crossing, that no
train is approaching within the
danger zone when the contrary
may be true. The use of the APP
proven SIOp sigh III COuDlIldIloIl
with red light or other flashing or
automatic warning signals at a
highway crossing, installed in full
accord with the American Railway
association and the railway COM
pany's requisites of installation, is
as highly important to the best in
terests of safety for the operation
of trains as it is for public travel
on the highway. The trains APP

Confidence Restored
to Butter Market
Chicago Egg Prices Fl Cents Per
Dozen Tuesday-Heavy Poul-.
try Movement

More confidence has been evil
denced in the butter markets this
week. Conditions are becoming
more settled, and quotations have
not fuctuated as much as in the
past few weeks. Current consump-
ton of butter is considered good !.
With the increasing production
more butter is being placed in
storage. Receipts now are very
liberal and indications are that
production will continue good
through the flush spring season.
The butter market in Chicago to-
day on 80 score Standards is
40 "a cents; Monday this week
401a cents. The New York market
today on 90 score Extras is 43 u
cents compared with 42h cents
Monday.
Receipts of eggs continue heavy
remarkably SO considering the adj
vancing season. Egg receipts in
Chicago, New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia for this week are
heavier than for the same time last
week and considerably heavier
than the sam time last year. Mar
kets continue irregular with gen.
eral weakness in evidence. The in
to-storage movement continues
heavy, taking care of surplus not
needed for current consumption.
Dealers are somewhat reluctant to
add to already heavy storage hold
ings, working to move more eggs
through current channels, and SELL
ing prices are working lower. This
situation is being reflected in coun-
try buying prices.
The Chicago egg market today
on Firsts is quoted at 80 to 81
cents, which is 1 cent per dozen
lower than Monday and 1 u cents
lower than the same day last week.
The same decline he's taken place
in New York quotations.
The movement of live poultry
continues heavy. With a fairly ac-
tive buying demand, receipts are
considered liberal. This situation
is true on both fowls and spring

Agricultural Notes
1t Pays to Feed Grain
to Good Cows on Grass

Grass is a great spring tonic-but
not always a complete and profit
able ration without grain. Grass
is half water. So is lettuce. For. a
while, green, juicy grass stimulates
milk production. "No human being
at hard work would want to stop
eating meat and cereals simply to
because he was eating lettucep
says the Blue Valley Creamery In
stitute in advising farmers to keep
on feeding solid, substantial feeds
to dairy cows even though they are
on pasture.
Four out of five dairymen do not
believe their cows need grain, sim
ply because they have grass to
Craze. Actual tests have shown
that every dollars worth of grain
fed returned from $500 to $500
worth of product, particularly dur
ing spring and early summer. A
typical example is summarized
from cow test association reports
of records kept in Minnesota. These
reports show that 1921 cows, re-
ceiving no grain on pastures, av-
eraged 228 pounds of butterfat per
year with a feed cost of $41.87.
Compared with the above, 572
cows, fed grain while they We're on
pasture, yielded an average of 296
pounds of butterfat and had a feed
cost of $40. 35.
Good Feeding Pays
The difference between the two
groups show an added feed cost of
$7.48 spent for grain during the
! pasture season, also an added re-
turn of, SO pounds of butterfat
from each COW. At 40 cents per
pound this fat was worth $27.2O
-or a profit of $19.72 over the
added cost of the feed for an in
vestment Of $7.48 worth of grain.
In other words, each dollars
worth of grain fed during the sum
mer pasture season returned 1898
worth of product. Surely this is
good interest on the investment !.
Good feeding pays, regardless of
whether it is winter or summer.
Feed According to Production. s
Grain fed when cows are on
grass, the same as grain fed when
they are off pasture, should al
ways be fed according to the
amount of milk the COW produces.
Ayrshire, Holstein and Shorthorn
cows producing from Is to 40
pounds of milk day need one
pound of grain for each 5 to 8
pounds of milk they produce. Jer-
seys producing from 20 to 35
pounds of milk daily need one
pound of grain for each A to

for the rural weekies of the state to issue Greater
Minnesota editions the last week in May Some
thing over 200 newspapers fell in line. Many of
these specials have reached the Herald exchange
table, the most elaborate coming to our attention
being President Webber's paper and the Mapleton
Enterprise published by Herb Hotaling and edited
by Mrs Hotaling
The advertising carried in most instances
WAY under the SO per cent necessary to permit the
publication to pay its way In some of the papers
the advertising was as low as Is per cent.
Special articles depicting the advantages Of
Minnesota had been written by experts. These ran
simultaneously in all of the papers. The editions
should do Minnesota world of good and the coun-
try publisher has paid the bill.
When Mr.. Webber first preached the plan the
