The 1921 year book of the Department of Agriculture shows just to what extent the 800,000,000,000-bushel crop forms the basis of the live-stock Industry.

The reason for this is that the farmer's income is distributed throughout the year more evenly than is the case in many other sections, and because the direct Investment in the crop consists more of the farmer's own labor and leas of puftfcated material and qulpmant than la the case in many other crops.

Aggregate Coat UtOOOiOOOyOOO. Official* of the bureau place the aggregate cost of the federal-aid program alone at about $8,000,000,000, spread over the twenty-year period. They base this estimate on an average cost of $17,000 per mile. The a verage cost, In turn, takes into consideration all classes of Improved roadways from the cheapest to the most expensive types. Approximately one-third of the proposed system, or 09^000 railea of improved highways, already are either built or building. The program la a new one.

Truth In Statement That Wortt an Animate^ Kidney*--; Proved by Tests. For feeding cows, 2.5 tons of pump- Una, with seeds In, are the equal of one ton of corn silage. Some folks aay that pumpkin seeds will cause cows to gp dry, or that they will work on animals' kidneys, and hence the pumpkin seeds should not be fed. There is no truth in such statements, aa has been proved by feeding tests. On the other hand, pumpkin seeds are beneficial. When fed to pigs they free the pigs of worms and put the digestive apparatus in tip-top shape. An excess of seeds causae an upset of the digestive organs for a day or ao, because the seeds are very rich. There Is no danger, though, if fed In the amounts In which they occur naturally. For feeding pigs pumpkins are sometimes cooked, but this extra work is not warranted. Squashes can be fed to cows, pigs and horaes the same aa pumpkina. Some Colorado stockmen make a practice of fattening pigs exclusively on squashes, and get good return per acre from the crop, but the pofk baa an objectionable yellow color.

It dlfplays in a convincing manner the results that come from giving JMl foad fo different herds. ' * The results show that: If you sell feeds to dairy cows' you have a constant market. If you sell feeds to high-producing dairy cows you hare at «»od and constant market. If you sell feeds to purebred, highproducing dairy cows you have a double market--a market for caivee and a market for milk. That it pays to know whether a cow is a good, poor, or high producer la showp by records of cow-testing associatmift. In one association the poorest cow produced in a year only enough income over coat of feed to buy a 2-cent stamp. To pay for labor and overhead expenses her owner had only the manure, skim milk, and calf. To get rid of such cows is one of the principal objects of cow-testing clatlons. \ Springfield.--Reports WOOL PRODUCED III INDIANA One Is Justified in getting tired of mHh excuses for himself to himself. • jf?
