Things That Are Told.

The government crop reports indicate
an average yield of 1872 pounds per acre,
ranging from 1872 in Tennessee and 155
in Alabama to 245 in Louisiana and 800

the crop has been picked in excellent

According to the Texas Farm and
Ranch, 800 bushels Of sweet potatoes

for hogs, COWS and horses. That beats

The Savannah News claims that the

ing. It should be Of a size to correspond
with the size of the barn. It has four
substantial posts at the corners. On each
of it's four sides it is fitted with doors or
windows made quite light, but strong,
and hung at the top with very loose
easy working strap or strap and tee
hinges. Across from the centers of the
doors light rod Or stick passes and is
fastened to each door with a strap hinge
or by having its end pass between two
cleats with bolt or pin through it as
shown. This cross rod or stick is long
enough to hold the doors in a calm out
at the bottom about 80 degrees each, as
shown in the upper part of the cut.
When the wind blows from either way,
the door on the windward side will be
closed, but in so closing it will force its
mate open to compensate, as shown in
the lower pair.
If desirable to close all these doors or
any pair of them, it will only be neces-
sary to make the crosspieces in two
parts, connect them in the middle with
strap hinge on the lower side and
from this run cord up over a pulley in

shown on the upper pair Of doors. By
simply pulling on one of these cords the
center will be raised and both doors
drawn shut. When desirable to open
them, pull on the other cord, and when
down it's weight will hold the doors
open.
On one other point much discussion
has taken place. Shall the ventilating
trunks 20 to the bottom of the stable or
simply through the ceiling? have
given much thought to this subject, and
while it is theoretically just right to
have the trunk 60 to the floor practical
ly would not lose the room to have it
done. If this device be put on its top,
the least breeze will, by flowing around
the cupola, cause strong upward draft
in the shoot and will take all the foul
air out. If we get that out, pure air
will find its way in. No stable was ev-
er so tight that millions Of feet Of air
could not get in if we made place for
it by taking the foul air out.
