Good roads promote self-respect In
community. They make possible
social Intercourse. Tbey bring the
benefits of churches and schools with

the boys on the form. They cheapen
the cost of transportation or rami
products to the markets and thus add
to tbe farm profits. They add to the

iROWS GARDEN TO BUY CALF
Washington Boy Raises Prize-Winning

(Prepared by the United States Depart- .

Alfred Olson of Klickitat county.
Wash., ls a member of one of the calf
clubs organized by tne unuea oiuira
department of agriculture and the state
college of Washington. With his pure
bred Jersey heifer cair, Arena oa,
he won the state championship prize
last year: In 1917 Alfred became in
terested in the cair ciuo worn. uu.
purebred calf costs money, and he did
not have funds to buy that requisite
for membership. To enroll in a gar
den club as the first step toward en
tering the calf club may seem unusual,
but that was what the Klickitat county,
boy did, and he reached the desired
goal. The-weeds in nis ciuu b""
kept him busy all summer, but he gave
It such faithful care that hla vege
tables were prize winners. He exhibit
ed a collection of them at the state
fair and took $60 worth of prizes.
Meanwhile he had been -writing 11
Jersey breeders for prices and descrip
tions of calves. He decided on Jer
seys because that was the breed his
father had. With $40 of his garden
prize money he bought a month-old
Jersey heifer calf In October. He kept
her ln the barn all winter, but in the
spring she was turned out on the
range. When brought in In September
n . mniA ready for exhibition pur
poses she was larger at eleven months
than his father's grade calves of fif
teen months.' ' At the state fair Al

championship prize lit the boys and

SMALL-TOP MILK PAIL BEST
Prevents Entrance of Dust or Dirt and
Greatly Reduces Number of
Bacteria In Milk. '
In modern dairies where clean milk
is produced the small-top milk pail
is a necessity, as it presents only a
small opening Into which dust and dirt
may fall from the air or -from tho
cow's body. It has been found by
experience that the use of a pail of
this kind greatly reduces the number
of bacteria In milk from dairies where
