ben kept. This isto be accomplished
by selecting pullets from the best lay-
ing mothers and by breeding up with
fullblooded males.
If the cows in a dairy herd are pay-
ing an average of $100` a year, make
an effort to raise it to $200. Perhaps
the quickest way to gain this end .is
by discarding all animals that fail to
give five gallons of milk per day for
the greater part of the year. The stock
may be graduallyimproved by selec-
tion and breeding. It may be possible
also to sell a part of the milk or cream
to private customers who will pay
double the wholesale rate.
It is not necessary that the farmer
should replace all of his grade cows
with high priced, pure bred Holsteins,
Jerseys, , Guernseys or Ayrshires•
However,' for successful and profitable
dairying itis absolutely' necessary. that
he realizethe remarkable difference In
productive capacity of the individual
cows in the same herd, though these
cows are cared for by the same man
and, are consuming practically the
same amount of teed.
Recently a herd of hogs from : the
northwest was sold in one of the cen•
tral markets, foe •e8.50 -pet 100 pounds.
A herd.ot:atmilar size'frbm a so called
corn belt state sold..in, the same mar-
ket
arket on the same day for $7.96. The
nqrthwestera bogs, were fed a variety,
inelbding barley, • a liberal amount of
alfalfa') a little ground; wheat, some
corn and some sugar- beet sirup. The
other herd of hogs was fattened al-
most exclusively on corn.
Not only did, the northwestern hogs
bring a higherprice per 100 pounds,
but they put on flesh more rapidly and
economically than theothers and were
In every way more satisfactory. With
the present knowledge of alfalfa grow-
ing no farmer, even in the strictly
corn states, can find a reasonable ex-
cuse for not having some of this to
feed his hogs.
Bogs need to run at large in a field
where there is forage. This may be
clover, alfalfa, rape or artichokes. In
this way they attain growthand put
on flesh better than they will if pen-
ned up. If they can have whey or
skimmed milk once a day this will as-
sist the economical production of meat.
The aim must be •to 'bring the hog up
to 200 or 300 pounds at such a mod-
erate cost that there will be a liberal
profit when it is marketed.
With an abundance of hay and corn
there ought to be a good profit 111 fat-
teningbeef animals, few or many, ac-
cording to the size of the farm. It
would appear that with the judicious
selection of feeders, with the careful
handling of the animals while in the
feed lot and with an even break on
other conditions, cattle feeding ought
to be fairly profitable.
Farmers have come to realize the
value of maintaining soil fertility and

BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE.
State and Federal Help Urged In This
Direction.
Resolutions providing' for changes in
the conditions of rural life in Able
country. which it was stated would
decrease the burdens and increase the
opportunities of the farmer and his
family, were adopted at the third an-
nual meeting or the committee of agri-
cultural
gricultural development and education of
the American Bankers' association.
Vocational training in the public
schools, plans to make the marketing
of farm products easier and " more
profitable add federal aid tomake
farm demonstration work more gen-
eral throughout 'the country were
among the things urged.
The resolutions in part follow:
"Our committee, being especially con-
cerned
oncerned with agriculture and instrue•
tion in that line in'the country schools,
realizes that it needs and must have
the largest measure of aid to the end
that the country boys and girls may
be placed •on an equal footing with
those in town. Therefore we urge both
state' and federal aid in this direction.
"As farm demonstration Work
through local or country demonstrators
has proved to be the most practical
and effective menus of improving
framing methods and es the govern-
ment, has ,. contributed thousands of
dollars toward such work in certain
states and little or nothing in others,
we indorse and earnestly urge legis-
lation on the part of congress that will'
provide generous federal aid in all
the states for such work."

This achievement with the hen 1s of

production Is a matter of less than a

controlled and therapidity with which
generations may be produced have. of
course, made this quick improvement
possible. Yet we know so little of

to fowls that the optimist 1a justified
in predicting some startling records

AYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, WHERE
nearly one hundred miles of Concrete
Roads have been built in the past six years,
during which time nearly every method of .
road construction has been tested, now comes
out flat-footed and adopts concrete as the road
standard.
The story is best told in the following para-
graph which has been taken from the latest
report of the Board of County Road Com-
missioners -of Wayne County, Michigan.
"With the completion of Plymouth, `Road,
we have abandoned every other form of coli_•
stru.ctioll and have adopted concrete as our
gt:ndard. We feel that our experience of the
past six years warrants us in arriving at this
determination,' based on its general satisfactor-
iness and its annual cost ascompared with other forms of
construction. In addition to the economy in hauling, the
pleasure in driving and touring, and the increase in land
valuation, the concrete roads of Wayne County have been
the means of bringing tens of thousands of dollars to
this locality".
Concrete roads will benefit any locality proportionatelyas
they have benefited Wayne County, Michigan, - '
