Tlie federal highway act in a general
way n s- tubles the federal-aid act of
1010. hut contains several new features.
\duiinistration i f the act by the secre
tary of agriculture, and under him the
bureau of public roads, remains un
changed.
Apportionment of the fund to the
states is almost the same as in the pre
vious act, the fund lining divided into
three parts, one part apportioned ac
cording to population, one according to
area, and one part according to mileage
if rdi nl and star mail routes, a
new feature is the stipulation that no
state shall receive less than one-half
of 1 per cent of the total fund which,
in 1 his i iivi', amounts to $3(io.(»2.>. This
• stipulation will increase tlie amount
i received hv four of the smaller states,
i. (>., Delaware. New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
Change in use of btaie Allotments.
Then’ is considerable change, how
ever, in the manner in which a state
1 may use its allotment. Each state
must select a connected road system
not exceeding 7 i>er cent of its road
: mileage for improvement with federal
I aid. This system will he divided into
i two classes, one of which will bo known
' as interstate highways and the other
as intercounty highways. The inter
state highways must not exceed three
sevenths of the system selected; on
them not more than 00 per cent of the
state's allotment can be spent with
out the joint approval of the secretary
of agriculture and the slate highway
department. The inten oimty high
; ways, which consist of the remainder
of the system selected, will receive
. tlie remainder of the state's allotment.
Except In states whore more than !>
per rent of tin- area is unappropriated
public land, tin- amount of federal aid
oived on any project must not ex
ceed r. i per i i nt of the estimated cost.
In states where nmri titan 5 per cent
of tin* urea i unappropriated public
land tlie r.O i*i-i- rent allotment is in
i '.'cased by an amount equal to one
half the percentage (.f unappropriated
■ uli'i ■ l;.i ii in the tale. I’efore any
r ""I - ran he j■;...] to a state, the state
most appropriate money, under the
direct control of iln* state highway de
partment, tn match the federal allot
ment, and for the maintenance of
federal aid highways.
Ail highways in the interstate system
must have t surfaced width of at least
1H feet, unless a narrower width is
deemed permissible by tlie secretary of
agriculture. In case a federal-aid
highway is not properly maintained by
a state, the state will be given 1H> days'
notice by the department; at the end
of that time If tlie highway is riot in
good condition of maintenance the sec
retary of agriculture will maintain it
i .mt oi .in siate‘3 allot::..anti re*as*
to approve any new projKis mm
reimbursement is made by the state
Wljat the new appropriation wii
meai^to the country can be judged b;
tin* use to which the $21 o,000,000 pie
viously appropriated has been put, ac
curding to officials of the United State
Iiepartment of Agriculture. I’racticall
$21)0,000,000 of that money lias been pu
to work in projects which arc eitbe
entirely completed or now under con
i struction. Tfic exact amount was 8100
S23.42T i'll October 31. To match tfii
! amount the states have appropriate*
! $205.529,OCX 1, making a total of $10..*
| 552.517.
Mileage Sufficient to Encircle Eartf
| The roads to be paid for l*y t hi
money, if placed end to end, would ei
circle the earth and extend from No'
York to San Francisco on the socon
lap. the total mileage of the road

ing reported by the bureau of pubil
roads us 27.000 miles on October ."*
(if tics mib age, 9.555 miles is in pro
orts which are entirely completed an
the contractors discharged. The fia
at ce of 17,445 miles is in prnje*'
which are still under construction, hi
which were (iff per cent complete ■
October Ml. In these projects there
tiler* -fore the equivalent of 12,0'
miles of completed paid. so that tl
completed road to date totals over 21
j oil) miles.
The average cost per mile of tl
rends built with federal aid has be
between $17,000 and Sis.ooo. Mi
than half tin* money lias been spei
for roads with tie* liighest types *
surface, such as concrete, brick, to
j bituminous concrete, but a very lari,
j mileage of roa'ls of the cheaper typ
i stub as gravel and sand-day, has be<
built where such types would vvitbsian
the wear of tin* traffic.
Prior to five years ago the federi
go\eriiment took no ttdive part In tl.
road construction of the country. T>
day about one-half of till the roads tin
are being built are being aided fi
the government financially, and tli
Construction is subject to the inspei
lion tind approval of federal engineer'
Work for Quarter Million Men.
It is estimated by engineers of th
T'nitcd States Department of Agrb u
ture that tlit* federal-aid roads unde

i ing employment to about 250.000 met
! either directly on the actual road cot

tion and transportation of the ins

IF YOU CARE FOR CALVES
Don't slaughter or sell a
heifer calf from a profitable cow.
Raise it.
Don’t keep your cows in a
dark, damp, dirty pen.
1 >oii’t overfeed them.
Don't feed milk tit 100 degrees
temperature one time and 80 de
grees the next time.
Don't feed sweet milk one
time and sour milk the next
time.
Don't feed from dirty buckets
and never from a trough.
Doing tiny of the last five
things is apt to cause “scours”
and “stunted calves.”
Don’t feed the grain in the
milk; feed it dry. (.'hewing it
aids digestion. Mixing it in milk
means more scours.
Don't feed the foam that
forms on milk as it comes from
the separator, nor that on whole
fresh milk. Foam is bubbles—•
bubbles are full of gas and gas
causes colic and sometimes
scours.
Don’t expose young stock to
cold, bleak weather, nor allow
them t" drink very cold water in
winter.
DAILY REQUIREMENTS OF CO'
Food Used for Milk Production Mu
Be in Addition to That Neces
sary for Body.
A cow weighing 1,000 pounds nee
every day. for the maintenance of li
l ody, an amount of food equivalent
