It is very probable that some of the
foregoing’ roads’ were lipened
actually used for some ‘time before
they were legally declared to be public
roads by decree of court. While on the
other hand, some of them were not ac-
tuall% opened for public use for a con-
siderable period after they were or-
dered by the court. It may be stated
also that some of the earlier roads
were opened and accepted as public
roads by common consent without any
action of the court ever being taken.
Some Early Settlers in Present
Village of Dallas
Christian Rice settled in Dallas about
the time the new township was set off
from Kngston and Plymouth. He
pought part of lot number four certi-
fied Bedford, and built on it near the
graveyard on road between Dallas and
Huntsville. This farm is nou (1886)
owned by his son, Jacob Christian
Rice and his son Jacob Rice have been
closely identified with ‘the growth and]
progress of Dallas. While the present
village of Dallas was not honored with
having’ built in it the first house that
was erected in Dallas township, it be-
came evident at a very early day that
a, village would be built there, largely
due, perhaps, to the willingness of
Jonah MecLellon to sell lots of small
size to anyone who wanted to buy and
improve.
The Ephraim Moss house stood in
the field, on a little knoll just ovtr the
spring run, about twenty or thirty rods
northwest of the present public school
house in Dallas borough. There are a
few pear trees or apple trees
standing (1886) ntar the spot.
ruins. of the old chimney were
standing twenty or twenty-five years
ago.
I am told.
Jonah McLellon’s house stood on the
Raub’s hotel now stands and was prob-
ably the first house built in the pres-
ent village of Dallas.

‘GENTLE BULL IS
EVER DANGEROUS
Animals With Bad Reputa-|
tions Closely Watched.
“All bulls must be regarded as dan:
gerous,” says H. A. Hopper of the New
York State College of Agriculture. “It
ig.the gentle bull, not the vicious one,
that most certainly kills or maims his
victim, Those with bad reputations
are more closely watched.” \
Since improvement in dairy herds
comes slowly,” promising bulls should
be kept in service long enough to. de-
termine the worth of their daughters.
With proper care, bulls may give sat-
isfactory service until fourteen or’ six-
teen years old.
The chief reasons for frequent
changes of bulls as indicated by own-
ers, are: Sold for beef, changed to
another breed, his calves were mostly
bulls, his daughters lacked type and
were poorly marked, sold for beef to
avoid inbreeding, lacked arrangements
for exercise and safety, he was often
‘neglected, became useless as a breeder
and was killed, he killed his keeper.
The first four reasons are, in part,
valid; under certain circumstances
they might: justify. the disposal of a
bull, Professor Hopper says. The last
four causes turn upon inadequate fa-
cilities for housing, for controlling,
and for maintaining the health of the
bull and a more serious cause.
Professor Hopper is the author of a
bulletin. just issued by the New York
State College of Agriculture on “The
Housing and Handling of Bulls,” B
177. In it he says that bulls respond
to care and training. The author de-
scribes the bull stall, the safety bull
pen, handling the bull, trimming the
feet, ringing, and dehorning. The pub-
lication will be sent free upon request
made to the office of publication, Rob-
erts Hall, Ithaca, N. Y.
Excellent Plan to Keep
Calf Little Bit Hungry
A calf fed three times daily can as-
similate more food than when it is fed
after it has finished drinking its milk.
Milk fed to young calves should be at
about body temperature. Cool milk
should be warmed to a temperature of
05 degrees Fahrenheit by setting the
pail in a vessel of hot water before |
being fed. One cannot depend upon
guesswork—be sure to use a thermom-
eter! Cold milk will almost always
cause digestive troubles, resulting in
scours which tend to stop the calf’s
growth and hinder its getting a good
start.
No one can accurately estimate with
the eye the quantity of milk in a pail.
Milk scales are very convenient for
this’ purpose.
Clean feeding pails are absolutely
to successful calf raising.
They should be washed after each
feeding as carefully as milk utensils
and sterilized if possible. Dirty pails
invariably cause digestive troubles.
All mangers and feed boxes should be
kept scrupulously clean. Plenty of
bedding, straw, corn stover or shav-
ings should be used, especially in the
winter, to insure the calves always be-
ing on dry litter and not on the cold
stall floor.
Contamination of Water
Will Lead to Disorders
The water supply of dairy farms
should be carefully examined and its
purity established. The farmer owes
‘this protection to his own family, to
his business interests, and to those
who use milk that comes from his
dairy. Contamination of water may
lead to typhoid fever. All water on
the farm, even that to which only the
cattle have access, should be above
suspicion as to its purity. If cows
wade in polluted water, disease bac-
teria may adhere to their bodies and
later fall into the milk pails. Especial
| attention should be paid to the purity
| of the
water in which milk pails
and other utensils are washed.
Dairy Stable Equipment
Makes Much Difference
The equipment of a dairy barn
makes a great deal of difference in
the labor of caring for the cows.
Good concrete floors with gutters and
drainage makes it possible to keep
the cows clean and minimizes the la-
bor of caring for the stable. Swing-
ing stanchions which allow the cows
considerable freedom have met with
approval. When cows are confined
by stanchions they require less space,
less bedding and may be handled with
less labor than by either leaving the
cows loose or in box stalls. Dirt floors
are not good in a dairy stable as they
cannot be kept clean.
Cows for Cream
The number of cows that can profit-
ably be kept for cream production on
any farm is dependent upon the quan-
tity of pasture, roughage and labor
However, on most farms
: | this number should range from fiv
spot uhere rear end or kitchen part of | : eS ive to
ten head. The income from these
cows will usually take care of the op-
McI.ellon bought |

erating expense of the average farm
and make it possible for the farmer
to bank the returns from his cash
crops rather than pay old debts with
theni.

Education
“The purpose-of education is not to
install knowledge, ‘but to create atti-
tudes. Its primary object should not
be to obtain a fat pay envelope, but
“to. open the mind to the composite wis-
dom and culture of the world.”—Dean
Nes.

question
363 days long!
J
VERY day, for twenty-four hours, Goodyear’s'
tire-testing cars race along the roadways of
America.
Overloaded, steaming, crowding the speedometer
from dawn to dusk, they cover concrete and gravel,
hill and dale. Each car often piles up as much as
800 miles a day.
Some of them are big cars, some small; some cruise
in Ohio, some in Florida, some in Arizona and New,
Mexico, some on the Pacific Coast.
Altogether they comprise the largest tire-testing fleet
in the world, and they’re kept on the run in sun-
shine and storm the whole year through. 5
THIS ceaseless and unmerciful testing, this question |
365 days long, is the kind of scrutiny Goodyear |
Tires must survive before they are offered to the
public.

Every improvement in compound, every advance
in construction, must run this gauntlet successfully
before it is incorporated in production.
Inspection to insure uniformity of quality in itself]
is not enough; even this inspection is subject to 7
check in the harsh laboratory of the road. 3
As a consequence Goodyear quality is a definite and
dependable thing — so outstanding as to support
the largest tire business in the world.
