The Auto Question.
I have received several letters from
parties asking as to my plan to con
trol automobiles, control of roads,
tc. My plnn Is to form civic leagues
and enforce the present laws, patrol
all roads and compel all parties to
comply with our existing laws. I
mean all travelers, be they autolsts
or farmers, and I mean all travel. If
you or any other man In Indiana can
suggest anything better or more just
write me. This has been my reply to
all private letterB. J. J. New.
If the people are satisfied with the
present laws, and if they can be in
duced to organize, as you suggest,
your plan may work, but these are
big ifs. We don't believe either of
them can be compassed. But let us
hear from others on this subject.
Indiana Farmer.
Husliel of Corn and nutter. -Cows
of fair quality only, such as
will make 250 to 300 pounds of but
ter per year, when properly fed make
three pounds of butter each bushel
of corn or oats, when the two grains
are ground together and fed. Surely
that is a better market for corn than
when sold as grain Is sold on the
market. Referring to this matter
Hoards' Dairyman says:
"There never was a time when it
paid as good a profit as it does to-day
to feed a cow well. Think of it.
Three pounds of butter In a bushel of
corn. That Is nearly $1 worth of
butter. What kind of a farmer muBt
a man be that will not turn grain into
butter at that price? One great trou
ble is that these farmers have not
taken pains to breed good towi that
It will pay a big profit to feed well.
If ever a farmer fed well he should
do it now,"
The Sow In Farrow.
Nothing is so certain to produce a
small and unprofitable litter of pigs
as to have the bow In farrow to share
her lot or bed with a pen of hnlf
grown shoats or with other sows. In
summer she will go off to some se
cluded spot to make her bed and thus
escape the danger of crowding. In
winter or early Bprlng, however, she
cannot overcome the habit of hud
dling up with the lot even up to her
time and thus endangering her off
spring. The thrifty farmer will provide
separate pens, or lots, and plenty
not too much of Btraw and shelter
from rain. After the pigs are a week
old two or three sows may bo run to
gether. Of course, it takes more time
to water and feed the sows separated
this way, but it pays to do it.
It Is a great disappointment and
a real loss of time and feed to have
your promising brood sow turn up
with only one or two pigs. If it is
your fault you cannot make it up
this season, and by another the
golden opportunity may have passed.

Prevention of Disease.
One of the greatest causes of dis
ease among fowls Is from lice and not
disinfecting the poultry houses prop
erly. , I have never had a contagious
disease among my fowls. Eighteen
years ago I lost quite a number from
limber neck. I did not know the
cause then, but by sad experience
learned a lesson that has been worth
a great deal to me. I never allow
any dead chickens or any other kind
of flesh to lay about where the chick
ens go. It is sure death to them if
they get maggots from any kind of
flesh.
For destroying lice and mites I fu
migate my poultry houses with to
bacco and sulphur, usually do this on
damp days, and is better if done once
a week. We not only believe it is
good for the fowls, but for people.
We have not had a spell of fever
since we have been fumigating with
tobacco, while so many of our neigh
bors have fever every year. This
promises to be the greatest year in
poultry business, yet in my exper
ience have never known eggs as high
as they were last winter. I have nev
er had such a demand for eggs and
chickens; can't near supply the orders
for the last five or six weeks, if you
want every mail to bring in orders
and inquiries advertise In Farmers'
Home Journal and you will Nave all
the work you are looking for. Mrs.
Emily Gibson, in the Farmers' Home
Journal.
Cleanliness in Hog Feeding.
The hog responds as readily to
cleanliness and care as any other ani
mal on the farm. Not long since I
was greatly impressed with the lack
of sanitary conditions around the
yards and houses of a man who has
been growing hogs more or less suc
cessfully for ten years. His feeding
troughs were foul with decayed food,
the floors were damp and full of mud
holes that good drainage would have
prevented.
All fixtures in a hog house should
be movable. It is advantageous to
have the troughs where they may be
washed or scalded out twice each
week at least. It should be borne in
mind that foul troughs are good
breeding places for parasites that may
be taken into the stomach and con
verted into worms. Damp floors may
be overcome if the house is well aired
and windows enough are in it to let
the Bnnshlne In on the floors.
It Is never best to allow dust to ac
cumulate on the partitions and In
pens used for feed. It Is always inju
rious to the health of the hogs.
Those who are In the habit of feed
ing their hogs grain scattered In the
mud or dust of a dry yard should
build a feeding floor and use it. Go
Into any herd that is fed in the dust
from thrown-down grain and much
wheezing and coughing will be heard.
This is bad on all hogs, and especially
those kept for breeding purposes.
In building a feeding floor it should
be set off the. ground four to six
Inches and built solidly of good tim
ber. A two by four piece should be
nailed around the whole edge, which
will prevent lots of shelled or ear
corn being pushed off into the dirt
and dust. The floor should be swept
off each time before feeding. W. H.
Underwood, in the Indiana Farmer.
Scrub Cows Don't Pay.
If any of the great throng of farm
ers who are blindly adhering to scrub
cow breeding were asked why be does
not keep pure -breds he would reply
that it cost too much to start, and
that the purchase of a new bull every
two years would eat up a good share
of the profits. Here are two fallacies
that require some attention. There
are many farmers who wllj not allow
themselves to think beyond the first
cost of a pair of registered calvas.
They can not "see" $100 In a heifer
calf, and wonder how any one can be
so foolish as to "throw away" so
much money on a calf that the hutch,
er would think dear at $10. But the
buyer of such a calf is not viewing
the question fromthebutcher's stand
point. He does not propose to malto
meat of a registered heifer, but he
looks ahead to the time when he will
have a whole herd of registcred
cows, any one of which will be worth
more than double as much as the
scrub, whether for dairy purposes or
to sell.
This question of beginning right Is
a very Important one In all walks of
life, but especially to. the breeder of
live stock, as the Increase in the herd
soon grows by leaps and bounds and
the first outlay Is as nothing compared
to the increased returns In the not
distant future. The writer know-s a
dairy farmer who figured out a dead
loss from scrub cows practical ex
perience and no guess work. He
made a study of the official butter
records of the different dafry breeds,
and on the strength of that knowl
edge he Invested $700 in three heif
ers that were closely related to the
best cows of the breed, and that aver
aged less than thirteen months old.
That was less than five years ago, and
he now has a nice little herd of pure
bred cows. His cream checks are
opening the eyes of his neighbors,
and he has sold more than $800
worth of registered stock at prices
very much lower than he paid to get
his start. He Is booking orders for
heifer calves before they are born at
$75 each, and future prospects are
bright tor nice profits from cream and
calves.
He reminds his friends that the
man who pays $150 for an Ideal ear
of corn is not expecting to feed it to
the pigs, but that he coolly computes
Its worth as a breeder of high-class
corn, and he is far-sighted enough to
see its influence on future crops.
Doubtless there are many farmers
who take a similar view of the grain
and live stock problem. They are
thoroughly convinced that it pays to
have the best, but they are just too
timid to make the start. They may
be brave soldiers, they may be heroes
in many places of danger; but they
have yet to learn that there is such a
thing as cool, business bravery.
There are places for brave men be
sides upon battle fields. This is not
a plea for the reckless expenditure of
money with one's eyes shut, but for a
judicious expenditure after carefully
considering the probable retarns, not
within six months but within a rea
sonable time.
Regarding the outlay for bulls,
there are some wrong views enter
tained. It is not always necessary to
buy a new one every two years. If
he is of good vitality and free from
undesirable qualities, his choice
heifers may be bred back to him with
no fear of bad results. When the
time comes to dispose of him, he will
bring enough from the butcher, if
in proper condition, to pay for a bull
calf; so that the total cost of bulls
may be figured in advance to the
price paid for the first one plus the
cost of feed thereafter. This may
be reduced by the service fees from
the neighbors who are willing to pay
fof the use ef a good bull.
This cost of bulls may be alto
gether eliminated by breeding to a
neighbor's bull if there should be nns
of the right breed and tmlae
within convenient reach. Community
breeding, that is, all. the people in
one region deciding upon oue breed,
will very materially lessen expenses;
but this is too large a problem to con
sider here. W. H. Underwood, In the
Indiana Farmer.

"Castle and City llulldcrs Road
Makers." In his recent address upon "The
World Movement," at the University
of Berlin, Theodore Roosevelt an
alyzed in the following striking
phrase the activities of those early
rulers upon whom devolved the task
of laying the foundation for the clvil
fention of Germany as well as West
ern Europe:
"They were castle-builders, city
founders road-makers."
To-day the first two qualifications
have been modified Into commercial
and Industrial variants.
The last Is absolutely unchanged.
Road-making underlies the sheer
existence, In an Intensified degree the
progress, of the entire social fabric of
our day, as decisively as it did the
first faint stirrings of civilization In
Western Europe or the splendid struc
tures reared by the Greeks and the
Romans still further back, the
Egyptians.
At every stage wherein humanity
has recorded an advancement, wheth
er in the stone-age or In the twentieth
century, rond-mnklng has walked
hand In hand with the trail-blazers,
hand In hand with those that followed
In their steps and amplified the work
begun by their endeavors.
Europe has not been slow In realiz
ing and materializing the principle.
The highways of practically every
old-world country are tlio delight and
the envy of the American tourist,
who watches the swift touring car
glide by the wagon In which the
peasant Is transporting his product
to the city market.
That Is one radical respect In which
Europe takes precedence of the lusty
and Intelligent new world.
The small and large farmer of the
old. countries pays no ruinous tire tax,
no exorbitant tribute to mud aud the
god of delay.
His products, measure for measure,
are worth often twice as much as
those of the American farmer, be
cause lie can get them to tho buyer, or
to the railroad, at expense beside
which the similar Item in America Is
mountainous.
In nnother direction, also, tho good
roads wisdom of Europo has given Its
people superiority over America.
With negligible exceptions, the old
world is thickly Bottled. There are
few waste places. Every arable Inch,
ftlguratively speaking, Is occupied.
Thero are few wide, vacant, fertile
areas clamoring vainly for the hoe
and the plow and the reaper.
The reason Is elemental. Good
roads Is a paramount Issue in Europe.
They take it as a matter of course,
ns they do tha government, or the
coming of Sunday, or the necessity of
buying coal and clothing and food.
Trunk lines bisect kingdom and
empire, republic and duchy.
Good roads and their building is a
fine science in Europe.
It has been so since civilization un
furled its pennants. War, pestilence,
famine, panic havo not been allowed
to Interfere with its steady main
tenance, for the reason that the peo
ple and their leaders knew that the
issue was the lifcblood of any people,
any country, any system.
The ripened wisdom of Europe re
proaches the Bhort-slghted neglect of
Amorica, and calls to us for revolu
tionary change.
In America, our forefathers built
staunchly the foundations of civiliza
tion. Since then we have strength"

Until recently we have ignored
