PERUNA Champion (Prepared by the ment of The brood sow select in laying Shell Road, In expending money sale of highway bonds, missioners should distinguish carefully between the permanent and the perishable features of the road. structures, Foundations, drainage alignment and grades are in general features which fairly permanent should be looked upon in the light of an investment. If these features do not comply with a certain standard, it will be poor economy to spend money on transitory improvements such as hard surfaces, which must, at com slderable expense, be renewed from year to year. In the same way, it is manifestly poor policy to build an expensive surface on defective grades with poor alignments and short-livedrainage features. Even when much of the money expended upon a highway has gone into the permanent features, there is still danger that the cost of repairs and maintenance will be overlooked, or at least slighted, in the calculations of raised by tbfe highway com- New Orleans. per cent of the total cost of a well-buimacadam road may be considered as spent for permanent features, and with bituminous macadam roads, about 56 per cent. This method of estimating cannot be applied to any gravel or natural soil road in which no part of the surfacing can advantageously be considered permanent, for under most systems of maintenance It steadily deteriorates. Roads built with surfaces entirely of concrete, or with brick pavements resting on a concrete foundation, are sometimes regarded as permanent, but this Is hardly safe. It is not yet definitely known how long the best concrete surface will last. The best vitrified brick surfaces may last a number of years, but even with them repairs will be required. It should be borne in mind by those charged with the expenditure of highway funds that the initial cost of a road is never the final one; that no surface is permanent, and that repairs of about 62 a foundation for a herd. The better she is the greater the chances for success. A good brood sow must possess depth and length of body, a good heart girth, smooth ribs, and long, shoulders, hams. Her sides deep, should be long, deep, and straight. A slightly arched, or straight, broad back is much desired, as it is much stronger than a low back. The back should carry its width and the side lines should be straight. She should stand up well on her toes and have smooth, straight Joints with hard but not coarse bone, and must have feminine characteristics, which are indicated by a rather small head and ear, a fully developed, even udder, and absence of shields in the shoulders. A brood sow should show early maturing qualities and have sufficient capacity to do the work for which she is intended. A smooth coat of fine hair and a broad head with sufficient When roads are built with borrowed money it is, of course, especially important to avoid this error. On the other hand, however, it is not necessary to regard the total cost of surfacing a road as a temporary improvement. Much of the surfacing may be classed as a permanent investment, for it is becoming more and more common to have surfaces built in two courses, the lower of which is as much a permanent feature of construction as the grading itself. This is particularly true of those types of road that are built with concrete foundations for bituminous macadam, brick or asphalt surfaces. It Is probably conservative to regard 40 per cent of the cost of macadam or more enduring pavements as a permanent investment. It is seldom nowadays that hard roads are permitted to wear into the foundation course of the surfacing. Where proper maintenance is assured it is safe to say that an. average and maintenance charges will always be necessary. On the other hand, many features of a good road are to be regarded as permanent investments. When roads are built with borrowed money, the distinction between the permanent and the temporary improvement must be carefully observed in order that the county may have something in exchange when the time comes to repay the loan.

To test the value of this for yourself select an equal number of uniformly developed turkeys, feed them meal, oats and boiled potatoes, give them milk (sweet or sour), but give one group charcoal; then notice the difference in weight and quality at killing time. This is the kind of way to know what is good practice. d - Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cau,se all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe lieadches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uninary irritation. . The moment your back hurts or kidneys arent acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent Hthia-watdrink which millions of mA and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

If the oats are worth less than middlings, it will be well to make them a part of the ration. Rye is as harmless as any other grain to a pregnant animal when not affected with ergot. If it is worth no more per pound than corn it may well be used in part. Cottonseed meal at the present time is a much cheaper Bource of protein than linseed meal, and with oats and rye or a wheat product in the ration also it may be used to supply the deficit of protein. However, if any cows appear to need a more laxative ration, better substitute linseed, at least in part, for the cottonseed meal. It matters little to the cow whether the corn is shelled before being ground, or even whether it is ground, so long as the cobs are soft enough to enable her to eat them readily. But to compound a ration from the list submitted: Using the corn in the form of meal and grinding both oats and rye, use one part by weight of each of these and two of cottonseed 4 FOR SWINE HERD A FOUNDATION d il SKINNERS Macaroni or Spaghetti The Quality Food the tastiest, most healthful and most economical food that can grace your table.
