blood, animal meat and bone meal are
likewise excellent additions. When
the hens lay double-yolk eggs or eggs
with soft shells the cause is not due
to lack of lime, as many suppose. but
to too much fat on the body of the

High-Posted Barns.

Every farmer knows that nearly the
largest part of the cost of his farm
buildings is in the roof. If the ground
floor plan is of the same size 1t costs
but little more to put the roof on q
building 22 or "a feet high in the post
than on one IL to IA feet high. and
the capacity Is about doubled We say
about but not quite even If the height
OF the posts Is quite doubled, for with
the greater height comes tendency to
increase the distance between the
ground floor and that above. and usu-
ally in modern buildings to widen
them out, especially in stables and in
the barn floor. Thus the barns of our
grandfathers' day. some of which are
standing yet. that were usually 24x30
feet on the ground, with 12-foot posts,
have given away to those 2SX42 with
Is to 24-foot posts even where the
farm Is no larger than before. 1t may
be more productive, and II not the ami
mails have more room, and so do those
who have to care for them and work
about them. The forage for them is
all put under the roof, instead of being
stacked up outside. There is more
sunlight and more pure air where the
modern abominable barn cellars have
been put in, to fill the space above with
the fumes Of decomposing manure, and
the health of animals and the owners
Is better assured This alone repays
the cost of building higher, and the
modern hay fork and carrier make it
ea3ier to put fodder over beam "a
feet from the floor than 1t used to be
when we were young to throw it with
a fork to IL feet high. The cost of this
labor saving machinery is small COM
pared to the value of the space gained
by the increased height of building,
or of forage saved by having 1t all
housed. Cultivator.

the beginning of summer, when, as a
matter of fact, the hardest task has
