COLUMBIA SUPPLY COMPANY, <23 G?r^ St, UNRAVEL ROAD LEGISLATION 'V Joint Committee Working to Bring About 8lmpllclty, Efficiency end Uniformity of Laws. To bring about revision of state road laws along lines that will insure simplicity, efficient management, and, where desirable, uniformity, is the task undertaken by a special Joint committee appointed at the third American road congress and repre senting the American Bar association aud the American Highway associa tion. The magnitude, intricacy and political and technical difficulties of the undertaking are discussed In an article prepared for the Engineering Record by J. E. Pennybacker, chief of the division of road economics of the United States office of public roads. Between three and four million words comprise existing road leglsla tion in the several states, according to the estimate of official* in the office of public roads. This great wilderness of words would make up an edition of 30 fair-sized volumes. In view of the comparative simplicity of the sub ject, this vast accumulation of statr utes, according to Mr. Pehnybad^, is a scathing commentary on ttaflfcon structive statesmanship of ouMBfcis lators for m%ny generations. There is scarcely a doubt that at' least 86 per cent of the legislation Is superfluous, and that, entirely aside ?rom the mat ter of reforfn, exactly the same pur poses contemplated In the existing leg islation could be accomplished with greater ^effectiveness with one-eighth of the existing statute laws. The compilers have found legisla tion still in effect almost Identical as to. fbrm and substance with the old colonial road laws, which were in turn based upon English precedent, extend ing back to the time of Queen Eliza beth; they have found statutes so hopelessly In conflict as to make effi cient and responsible administration utterly impossible. As an example of the bewildering confusion of existing legislation, the compilers came across in the statutes of one of our most pro* gressive. states a recent enactment amending a road law which was re pealed two years before the amend ment was passed, and yet apparently none of the legislators have thus far become acquainted with the situation. MAKING ROADS IN THE FALL Every Township Should Own Gravel Pits From Which Material Can Be Cheaply Obtained. There Is a growing demand for more and better roadmaking during the au tumn months. In many localities the roads become flUed with deep ruts and the wheel tracks so depressed during the summer that they collect rains which soon wash them Into gutters and ruin the roada for heavy loads and comfortable travel. ' There Is no reason why a portion of 1 the road tax should not be used for putting the highways in a better con dition for tiravel. The split-log drag and other road making implements should be put to work before the ground freezes. The outside , of the roads should be brought Into the cen ter of the track, whftoh will establish a crifst that will shed water, rather than retain rains, which are sure to oocur during the late fall and early spring months. ; Roads having a full high center are quite sure to remain in a good condi tion during the rainy season of fall and spring. Steep hills, where water is apt to collect in wheel tracks, should be provided yith open gutters on each side into which rains may be diverted, with an occasional crest which water cannot pass. Approaches to bridge and culverts should be so Oiled with earth that vehicles of all kinds may pass over them without serious Jolts and Jars. Roads are much Improved when covered with graVel. This fb a sea son of the year when such work can be accomplished at a minimum ex pense. ' v Every township should own gravel pits, from which roadmaking material can be cheaply obtained. Concrete roads, will soon become popular. The same material should be used in mak ing brtdgea and culverts. A good qual I fty of sand and gravel ia necessary to make serviceable concrete.

The DAIRY DAIRY COW REQUIRES REST Animal la Enabled Not Only to Do Hor Boot While Being Milked, But Yielda Greater Returns. (Hy M. COVKHDKI.L) Moat farmers aoein to breed the cow with 110 concern aa to her resourceful* nobK or enduring qualities. Hhe la bred at an early age; bred again Just ua aoon aa possible after hor first calving; bold right to hor milk aa nearly aa poaelble to her next calving time and handled thus until aho la worn out aud no longer uaeful. With such management her unborn calf will have much of lta sustenance taken from It, on account of the nour iahment going toward keeping up the cow, which reaulta In a weakened off spring and gradually wleldB a most de teriorating effect On the grade of the herd in general, atneo each succeeding calf will be still more undesirable than the one before it, ' We have Been cows whoso nature re belled against such treatment And In variably theae animals positively re Splendid Milk Type. fused to come in sufficient heat to be gotten with calf. This shows conclu sively that the cow requires and de serves a short period of rest from her labors every season. We aim to give the cdw about a three or four months' rest out of every season, feeding and caring for her with a view to intensive dairying the remainder of the year. This not only enables the cow to do her best while being milked, but yields us greater re turns for the time and labor expended In bundling her and her diUry prod ucts. Of course the same rule will not apply to each individual member of the herd as some can be dried up with very little effort while some will milk right up to the time they drop their calf. . In either ca*e We dlscont'nue feed ing those rations which are conducive to a profuee milk flow for from two to four months before calving time, and so far, we have always been suc cessful in drying up any cow in time to allow her a good rest before it was necessary to begin milking her again. TWO GREAT DAIRY PROBLEMS 8ucceaa of Dairyman Depends on His Ability to Cope With Labor and Feeding Questions. The dairy farmer has two great problems confronting him at all times; namely, the labor and the feeding problems. His success depends largely on his ability to cope with them, and especially with the feeding problem. His cows are, In a measure, machines through which raw material^ pass and are turned out as finished products, the quality of which are determined by the individual cow. If the raw material is not "balanced" the result may be fat on the cow's back instead of milk in the pail; , it. may mean flesh from the cow's, body to make milk, or a waste of ma terial altogether. If not supplied In sufficient quantities the maqfrlae dlsv continues Its work and the cow goes dry. Far too many dairymen work on the assumption that if their cows are fed all they will eat or clean up nicely of feede affording variety they are doing their best. The. question of feed com position should receive more thought A man may easily feed unbalanced rar tions that will waste enough material for which he has to pay high prices to make his business unprofitable, even under otherwise favorable conditions. j 8I?? a* Mlo. The silo must not be too larg4. The size should always be determined by the number of cattle or sheep to be fed. As silage Is a moist feed that soon decays when exposed to the air, It must be taken off systematically from the top. At least two inches should be removed dally, hence the silo should not be built out of propor tion to the number of animals to be fed. Cow Test Association. ?
