WEDNESDAY EVENING- WHY--- Most Of (is Had Rather Enjoy footy from the Side lines? Dm for this By Frank Leet WHEN Vbo COUNTRY LIFE EDITED BT E. F. GRAFF County Agricultural Agent Johnson County Farm Bureau Communications for this Department Welcomed by the Editor. Store Road Implements. Every piece of county or township road building machinery should be under cover for winter.

Moreover, every implement should be prepared for winter with liberal quantities of paint or grease. Road machinery costs too much to allow it to stand out through the winter months. The wood and such metal parts as can be should be painted. Cntting blades where paint would interfere with the working of the machine should be coated with grease. A county storehouse for the storage of ttie road building machinery should be a part of every county equipment.

If the building can be large enough to leave working space alter the machinery is in, employes oT the county road and bridge crews can be given winter work to good advantage in making necessary repairs and shaping up new equipment for the next season's work. These recommendations are made ty the state highway commission located at Ames. Starting Steers On Feed. Silage has largely solved the problem of starting steers on feed. It is bulky enough to eliminate danger from over-eating and unless cattle are accustomed to it they rarely eat greedily of it at the start, according to Geo.

W. Godfrey of Iowa State college. Western range cattle that never saw corn, take to silage as quickly us those of our native cattle that are not accustomed to it. When fed fodder these western cattle at first pick off the leaves and husks, leaving the stalks and ears. With silage they get acquainted with the corn taste at the start.

When grain is added to the ration, if spread over the silage, it is more evenly shared by the steers. Even where cattle are going at once onto a heavy grain feed, a start with silage is best as it allows a more rapid increase in the grain ration without danger.

A PICTURESQUE CORNER OF IOWA Early Days In Iowa's Park Region No part of Iowa is more interesting from the point of view of natural scenery than the northeastern corner of the State.

And that the remarkable beauty of its physical features finds a parallel in the romance of its history is evident to anyone who reads a "Historical Sketch of the Park Region About McGregor, Iowa, and Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin" 'by Miss Althea R. Sherman in recent numbers of "Iowa Conservation." The geologists of the country have commented with peculiar interest upon the' "driftless area" of the valley which stood up like an island in the glacial epoch, untouched by the ice fields that smoothed off the surrounding land. It was this bit of Iowa that first caught the eye of white explorers when Marquette and Joliet paddled out of the Wisconsin river into the Mississippi and looked across ax the region about the present site of McGregor. In those early days Indians held athletic contests and fought wars in this region. French fur traders came in to follow their adventurous profession; Americana followed, and Zebulon Pike, and Catlin and Schoolcraft and Zachary Taylor and Jefferson Davis played their little parts on the western frontier where the Wisconsin and Mississippi meet.

Few places in all the Mississippi Valley would seem to lend themselves more adequately tor public park purposes than this picturesque spot with its romantic past.
