XH.0RAD0 D0U3LES MILEAGE
.lore Than 60 Per Cent of Roads Have
Been Improved During Past
Seven Years.
Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
Colorado has more than doubled its
mileage of improved road in the last
seven years, according to the bureau
of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture, which has
made an extensive investigation as to
the highway mileage and revenue of
rhe state.
In 1914 the:? was 13.298 miles of
improved road and a total of ."9,780
?Mies, while in 1921 the improved
mileage had increased to 29,540 miles
and a total of 4S.143 miles.
The Improved road at the present
lime is classified as follows: Graded
and drained, 24,941 miles; sand, clay
and gravel, 4,897 miles; macadam, 131
miles; other types of ' surfacing, 71
miles. !
While most of tiie improved road In
this stute is what Is known as low
type road, the fact that more than GO

I per cent of the total mileage has been
| improved constitutes a record that will
-be envied by manv.
I
For each square mile of area the
rojui, /evenue amounts to $S3.5G, and
there Is one-half mile of road. The
total road revenue amounts to $9..'5f?
, per capita, $182.07 per miIe?of road,
j and totals $8,705,443.
GIRT ROADS WASTE GASOLINE
; Gallon of Fuel Nccessary to Drive Car
Six Miles on Earth and Twelve
? on Hard.
An investigation carried on by an
I automobile manufacturer showed that
Ute consumption of a gallon of gaso
( line was necessary to dr^ve a machine
six miles on the average earth roads
i as against twelve miles on the hard
surfaced roads, according to Automo
bile Topics. These figures would in
dicate a saving in gasoline, on the
basis of 400 vehicles per mile a day,
000.000' gallons on 10.000 miles of
Improved roads. At 24 cents a gallon
this amounts to $12,000,000; ?r more
than enough to pay 5 per cent interest
on the Investment.
One billion, seven hundred million,
dollars per year will pay $15,500,000,000
of 5 per cent bonds (principal and In
terest) in a little less than twelve
years. In other words, If we could
immediately lay down 2,500,000 miles
of public highway at a cost of $15,500,
000,000, borrowing the money to do it
with at 5 per cent interest, the $1,700,
000,000 saved to the producers of farm
products In the one Item of reduced
] cost of moving their annual crops to
I market would pay the debt, princl
i pal and interest, in less than twelve
[ years. <r -
ANCIENT PAVING MATERIALS
Romans Used Brick as Early as 44 A.
D. ? Sumarians Were First to
Use Asphalt.
As early as 44 A. D. the Romans
used bricks in England. Actual scien
tific and quantity production did not
begtfc. however, until 8S6, when Alfred
the fireat directed that brirks be pro
duced under government supervision.
The earliest recorded use of asphalt
was by the Sumarians, a people In
habiting the Euphrates valley prior to
the ascendancy of the Babylonians.
An asphalt cast excavated at Logash,
near the mouth of the Euphrates, dates
back to 2850 B. O. As a mortar for
brick, similar to the filler now used In
brick streets, asphalt w as uned In the
construction of the Tower of Babel.

SUCCESS IN WEANING COLTS
Important T>at Young Animals Bo
come Accustomed to Various
Feeds of Motl.er.
On my farm from three to alx colts
ure raised every year, and I never at
tempt to wean them until they are at
least live months old. I prefer more to
less age. The three-month-old colt will
live, of course, when weaned at that
age and properly cared for; but when
live months have passed by the opera
tion is performed with less danger and
worry to both the colt and its mother.
It is the most convenient age to bring
about the separation. I always prepare
>ny colts for the critical time of wean
.ng by getting thein acquainted with
reeds that will be proper when the
nother is taken away.
In vogue there are two methoda of
weaning where the separation may be
either sudden or prolonged. In the lat
ter case the mother is brought back
three times daily apd rhe colt al
lowed to nurse. This operation Is soon i
lessened to twice dally and then to
once a day, which soon culminates In
complete separation. When the wean- j
Ing Is done suddenly it is very im- ?
portant to milk the mare by hand as !
often as required.
During the time of weaning the colt
should be co.-ifined In a comfortable, i
roomy box stall, containing no manger |
or boxes with which the youngster
may become entangled. Low walls are
particularly dangerous, as the colt
may rear up and in an attempt to get
over become caught in so**?e way and
injure itself. When a few days have
passed a run outdoors at night in a
high-fenced yard will be helpful.
Sudden < .inges of diet are detrimen
tal to any class of live stock, and no
less so for the colt. All colts ought to

be taught to eat bran, chop and hay,
and these habits will come naturally
if they are running with grain-fed
mother, for a colt is nibbling at Its
mother's feed long before weaning time
arrives.
Finely chopped oats are good and
should make up a large portion of the
nition. ^fhe oats are better if
steamed. At first bran should be fed
two or three times a week. One or
two carrots a day will also afford the
colt something to nibble at and be
beneficial., Along with this the young- -
ster should be given all the well-cured
clover hay It will eat, and for this
purpose second-growth clover is good
If not improperly cured. Good results
;can be obtained by feeding cow's milk
to the colt, starting with two or three
quarts' per day, and increasing slightly
after the first week; taking care never
to overfeed. This article of diet is not
usually available for the feeding of
colts, however, and does not often fig
ure In the ration.
MAKING PROFIT FROM SHEEP
_ (
Farmers Feeding Alfalfa Hay and
Paying Attention to Lamb Crop
Make Most Money.
It is what goes into the sheep's
stomach that determines how ihe own
er wilt close his books at the end of
the year. During the past year 27
owners of fine wooled flocks kept
strict accounts of their herds. From
these accounts it was shown that
farmers feeding a limited amount of
good alfalfa hay and giving attention
to the lamb crop, received profits, even
with wool and mutton prices at the level
they have been this past year.
The five farms where wool was pro
duced most economically showed an
average cost of 19.4 cents per pound.
The remaining 22 farms required 37.5
cents to produce each pound. The
best farms raised 41 lambs per 100
head of sheep, while the flocks that
lost money raised an average of 30
lambs per 100 sheep. These records
were taken In Morgan and Noble coun
ties, Ohio.
