SHEDS FOR MACHINERY.
Can he Built I'm odd Hours md Out
of Materials Otherwise Virtual
Iy without Value.

1t is fact which cannot be denied
that farm implements will last much
longer If frequently painted and If they
are protected from wet weather and the
scalding sun as much as possible. The
machinery will not only last much long
er, but, as rule, will do better work and
will require less repairing at busy
lines, for If a machine is allowed TO
stand out in all kinds of weather there
IS more or less warping, shrinking and
getting out of shape, causing bolts to
more readily become rusty or drawn,
which results in a great deal of break
age and loss, besides failing to do the
work as properly as it would be done if
The machine was kept in good order.
All implements on the farm, from the
hoe and corn knife to the harvester or
header, may be housed and at very little
expense. Most eastern farmers in the
older settled communities. have large
barns where they have more floor room
than is necessary after the hay and fod-
der are stored away, and this space may
be utilized for plows, harrows, seeders
and drills. In the west, where barns are
scarce, and smaller, it is not very eX-
pensive to build large straw shed
which will hold all the implements and
machinery used on the farm. A shed of
this kind may be made by setting three
or four rows of two by six posts and
placing timbers of the same size at the
top for plates. Next cover over with
cheap lumber and brush, together with
n sufficient amount of straw to prevent
any leakage. Build up wall of straw
at the sides, six or eight feet thick, ex-
cept at the east side, which should be
left open for the purpose of driving in.
Port hay may be usedain the building
and will make it more durable. A shed
of this kind is quite inexpensive and
at the same time will adequately protect
the implements from rain, snow and
sun. Notwithstanding the ease with
which good shelter may be obtained,
there are far too many costly machines
allowed to go to wreck for want OF
proper care. This is one of the leaks
that prevents profitable farming in
many localities in the great west, or at
least, robs the farmer of much that he
might enjoy as his own.-John F. Coul.

states. Cowpeas are, in their relation
ship and habit of growth, really beans,
and not peas, as the name indicates.
They are ANIMALS and are closely re-
lated to the lablab, lima and haricot
beans of our gardens.
Varieties-Cowpea occur in every
gradation of habit, from compact,
stocky, upright bush having stems a
foot high with very short lateral
branches to those with trailing run
ners growing as fiat upon the ground
as sweet potato or melon vines, the
PROSTATE stems Is to 90 feet in length.
The pods vary from four to six inches in
length, and the peas are of every i'm
aginable shade of white, yellow, green,
pink, gray, brown, red, purple and
black, of solid colors or variously mot
tied and speckled, and of varying sizes
and forms, from large kidneyshaped to
little round ones smaller than the gar
den pea. There is like variation in
the length of time the different forms
require to ripen seed, some requiring
eight or nine months, few ripening in
80 days from the time of planting.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

A little money invested in oil and
paint may make expensive implements
last several years longer.
You can destroy more weeds in day
by burning the seeds than you can in
the whole season by trying to destroy
the pests next summer.
Disease may lurk in that old well that
has not been cleaned out for several
years. Better attend to ii before the
doctor cleans your pocketbook out.
A few days devoted entirely to the
matter of securing fuel for the winter
will relieve your mind wonderfully of
this job and keep the women in much
better humor.
A man who cannot find pleasure in
arranging and rearranging his tool
sheds, stables, grain bins, ETC., when
other work is not pressing, or 0al rainy
days, has but little interest in his work.
1t will cost you nothing to find out
all about silos if there is one within
driving distance of you. Take a day
off and learn all you can about them.
1t may be money in your pocket some
day.
Cut and gather together burrs, Span
ish needles, etc., on the next damp day.
Pile them up and burn them as soon as
they are dry enough and you will have
done work that will make you feel
good for whole year.-National Stock

It's Glory Gone.

too busy at this to have much time for

Rome. 1t CHANGED that he drove out in
the country and was shown the Coliseum.
The guide told him it was theater. The
old man was surprised. When he came

he had seen the Coliseum. He had. He

The Cowpea, Which Has Been stead
lily Growing in Favor with
| Western Farmers.

Herewith we illustrate the cowpea.
AS will be seen, it is more of bean
than pea. Bulletin 1O2 of the United
States department of agriculture says
of it: The cowpea has been cultivated
in the south for at least $50 years. 1t
was probably first introduced on plan
tations in South Carolina, the seeds
having been brought from India or
China. From this original introduction
and from subsequent importations its
cultivation has spread to almost every
farm and plantation in the southern

why the Heat Kills Hogs.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, explains why the
hog succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when
overheated. The man or horse when
overheated soon has his body covered
with perspiration, and the evapora-
tion of this at once begins to reduce
his temperature. Nature has made no
such provision for the relief of the
hog when heated by exposure to the
sun or by excessive exercise. This is
reason enough why it should have an
abundant and convenient bathing or
wallowing place, whether on summer
pasturage or confined lot, and have
plenty of green food that is laxative
and cooling.

How deep shall the tile drain be laid
in clay soilP This is a question that
has been agitating farmers for some
years. At first it was believed that a
drain in clay soil should be shallow,
but more recent Investigations seem
TO indicate that drains should be laid
deep in both sandy and clayey soils.
The effect of the draining in clay soils
is TO render the soil above the drain
more friable. The ground is also
more subject to what is known as the
aeration process. This aeration is in
dry weather of great importance. The
warm air being forced into the ground,
or rather drawn in, carries with it
much moisture, which is condensed by
the colder soil and thus helps TO add to
the moisture in the Eoil.-Farmers
