W. Turner, a teacher in the dairy department of the York city. Long strides have been made in Missouri College of Agriculture. This conclusion was reached only out. The value of this Information lies In knowing what production may be expected of a cow at a certain age. For example, if a farmer knows the prescow ent production of a and wishes to estimate what she will be worth to him in five years, he will have an authoritative table which he may consult. A yearling produces 64.6 per cent compared to a cow at maturity ; a 73.6 per cent; a 90 84 per cent; a 95 per cent, per cent; a 99 per cent. After and a seven years the decline In production is gradual.

Building of good automobile roads will not hurt railroads but will help them. Statistics In hand will disprove the contention held by some that states expending funds for motor roads are spending money for the benefit of the d, three-year-ol- four-year-ol- d, country at large rather than for the states themselves. Most of the traffic is local, that Is within the state. Take the case of There the Connecticut, for Instance. traffic on the highways is 70 per cent local That la, It Is traffic confined within the states borders, giving the state the largest benefit of Its road Improvement In general, we have found that 35 per cent of the road traffic on automobile highways Is truck or short-hatraffic and that 65 per cent is pleasure. But the bulk of traffic remains within state boundaries. x 5,-1- Increase of Butterfat la Not Made by Feeding ul According to experimental work that has been done, the percentage of fat In milk cannot be Increased by feed Ing. The milk of each Individual cow seems to have a fixed composition that Is natural to her. True, the richness of the milk may bo Increased or decreased for a short time If the cows digestive system Is disturbed by sick ness or improper feeding, but will return to the normal test In a short time. The quantity of milk may easily vary with feeding, consequently the total pounds of butterfat would be increased without a variation In the test.

The hard roads movement is gather lng power as It moves. T. C. Powell, vice president of the Erie Railroad Co., Is reported to have said, The time has come when the nations railroad facilities are so heavily taxed by the enormous tonnage offered that there Is only one way In which we may get freight hauled. And that Is by asking business men to employ motor trucks for the short hauls, say, up to thirty miles or so, thus releasing railroad facilities and equipment for the longer haul which can go by no other means Pointers for Selection of Improved Dairy Cow should be plenty of daylight between the udder and the tall. One of the best ways to tell what kind of a cow you have Is by her temperament. A good dairy type has a sharp spine, nd shar hip bones.

Crops Farm woodlots offer a splendid opportunity for growing timber crops, according to statements from the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture. It Is estimated that there are 150,000,000 acres now In farm woodlots which If placed under sound forestry methods would yield substantial revenues to their owners, as well as lumber to help relieve the timber shortage which has already begun to be felt. Tankage Will Satisfy Appetite of Hungry Hog John Evans an Illinois farmer, writes to the Farm Journal that he was working In the hog lot one day recently, and every little while would bear a pig squeal loudly. He watched and noticed that one of his gilts would go up behind another pig and bite off its tall. John began to look around and saw that nearly the whole herd was detailed. Moral ; Feed your hogs tankage, to satisfy their meat appetite. Horses and Mules May Be Safely Fed Silage Teams of horses and mules used around dairy barns In hauling feed may be safely fed silage, but never moldy silage, because they are particularly susceptible to mold. Some molds that develop In silage which is not properly cnt and packed are deadly poison to horses and mules. Frozen silage In winter causes colic.
