Z. Barnard or phone Main 393 YOUR BUSINESS SOLICITED. BETTER ROADS II MORROW COUNTY I', INCREASE PULLING POWER OF IRE HORSE iy Ira Osborn Baker, C. E. Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Illinoise. The horizontal pull which a horse can exert depends upon its weight, its form or build, the method of hitch ing, the foot hold afforded by the sur face, the speed, the length of duration of the effort, the rest-time between efforts, and the tax upon the future efficiency of the horse. The chief of these are the weight, the speed,- and the length of the effort. Horses vary in weight from 800 to 1,800 pounds. The larger horses do not usually travel more than two and a half or three miles per hour. With reasonably good footing a horsb -an exert a pull equal to one tenth f his weight at a speed of two and half miles per hour (3 2-3 feet per second) for ten hours per day for six iays per week and keep in condition. Phis Is a common rate of exertion by farm horses In pulling plows, mowers and other agricultural implements. In this basis a 1650 pound horse would develop 550 foot-pounds per second the conventional horse-power) and 16,500,000 foot-pounds per day. lighter horse will exert a propor ionally less force. This may be con sidered about the limit of endurance. Tf the time of the effort is decreased, '.he draft must be proportionally In creased! or it the Bpeed Is increased, he draft must be decreased in a like iroportion. In other words, the foot lounds of energy that can be develop ed per day by any particular horse Rate of Grade Per Cent 0 1 is practically constant. . The maximum draft for a horse is about of his weight, although horses have been known to exert a pull of two thirds of their weight. Most horses can exert a tractive power' equal to halt their weight, at a slow- walk for about 100 feet. On the road in emergencies, as in starting the load or in overcoming obstacles, a horse msy be expected to exert a pull equa tc half his weight, but at this rate he develops a day's energy in about two hours; and consequent ly if he Is expected to work all day )Ve should not be called upon to exert his maximum power except for a short time. Similarly, a horse caii exert a draft i-qual to one quart ir of his wcUht for a longer time. The working tractive power of a horse may be taken as one tenth of its weight, with an ordinary maximum of one quarter, and in great emergen cies a maximum of one half of its weight. Effect of Grade. The effective tractive power of a horse upon an Inclined road surface is decreased by the fact that the horse must lift his own weight up the( grade. Tne following laoie snows the load a horse can draw upon diff erent road surfaces when exerting a uniform pull equal to one tenth of Its weight. The load is In terms of the weight of the horse. Compare these facts with the road conditions in Morrow County and you can easily determine whether or not the proposed road Improvements will increase the hauling capacity of our rural districts.

FEED RED PtIMOES GILLIAM & BISBEE , are prepared to furnish the farmers and stockgrowers with all kinds of machinery and extras for their ,1918 equipment. . . There is going to be a shortage of extrasarid we would advise go ing over all machinery NOW andl ordering all the extras you will need this season and have all machinery adjusted and ready for use when the time comes to use it. Take our word for it, if you wait until the extras are needed you may not be able to get them. There will be no time to waste in 1918 Dried pressed potato is "very effi cient in producing rapid gains and a high finish when fed to swine," Uni ted States Department of Agriculture investigators have found in a search for a suitable way to dispose ot cull or surplus potatoes. To give the best results, however, dried pressed potatoes must be fed in combination with feeds rich in pro tein, such as oil meal, fish meal, and tankage. The Investigators also advise mix ing or soaking such feed with water for 15 minutes before its ue. An experiment, in which were used 12 shigh grade pigs beween five and six months of age, was conducted to determine, first, the value ot dried pressed potato in a ration for fatten ing hogs and supplemented by feeds rich in protein, and, second, the effect of dried pressed potato on the quality of meat-produced. The pigs were divided Into four lots of three each. The first lot, for checking purposes, was fed a ration of six quarts corn meal and one part tankage. The other three lots were fed rations of six parts dried pressed potato, the second lot suplemented by one part tankage, the third lot by one part linseed-oil meal (old process), and the .fourth by one part of fish meal. The pigs In all the lots ate well and regularly, and the investiga tors drew the conclusion that the dried pressed potato rations were pal atable and produced pork readily. In carcass tests after the fattening experiment the investigators found "on the whole it is impossible to say that dried pressed potato meal does not produce a fat equal for all pur poses to that produced by corn meal. While we were able to note some lit-, tie difference in hardness In favor of the lot fed on corn meal, that differ ence was so small as not to be noticed under average packing-house condi tions. Dried pressed potato meal does not produce soft pork." Regarding the quality of the meat in the case of baeon strips, little dif ference can be detected. Here it is indicated that the corn-fed hog is much the fattest. In the rendered lard, the investi gators found no noticeable variation in taste, odor, color, or consistency. The carcass data are thus summar ized : ' "Dried, pressed potato meal fed with any of the three supplements used In the experimental feeding pro duced pork equal In quality to that produced by a ration of corn meal and tankage. "Dried, pressed potato meal sup plemented with old-process Hnseed oll meal produced a carcass which for Ama nt finish excelled even that of the corn-meal hog, and the degree of finish on the other two lots was, but little Inferior to that of the check hogs. "No difference could be noticed In any way in the curing qualities or in ' the excellence of the finished product 'cut from the hams, shoulders, and 'bacon sides of the hogs fed in the four different lots."

Tuesday, February 12th Is the last day upon which war risk insurance may be taken out by men who have entered the service ot the United Sta tes Army and Navy. Due to the fact that thousands of men in the service have overlooked or neglected to take out the insur ance, the government Is urging that every means be taken to bring the matter to the attention of the men before the time limit expires. To that end, the American Red Cross has taken up the work and will strive to get applications into the hands ot tke enlisted man's commanding offi cer by the 12th of February.
