Cement is the great building mate
rial of the present day. 1t is used for
Notwithstanding sidewalks, posts,
bridges, houses, barns, troughs, etc.
Being obtained at reasonable price
it is rapidly supplanting other building
material, not only in towns, but
throughout the country. This is as it
should be. 1t frees the purchaser
from the necessity of buying Ligh-
priced lumber or even iron for con-
struction purposes.
The invention of cement block ma
chinery has made it possible for the
farmer to make his own buildings
from the very beginning. He first
buys block making machine, then
the cement. During slack times he
manufactures his blocks and is then
ready for building when the time ar
riyes. The right kind Of machine
makes it easily possible to manufac
ture building block that eventually
becomes harder than stone and is
practically indestructible by the ele
ments. These machines make it pos
sible to secure a variety of blocks ani
thereby enables the builder to put III
| an exceedingly attractive structure

! the air results in increased solidity 81

touch walls they can't get away from
it but will be compelled TO stay and
take their medicine
The instinct of self-preservatiOn
prompts the fowls to perch on the
highest point they can reach when
taking their quarters at night. They
naturally desire be above danger
from below.
The perches should all be on level,
about eighteen inches above the floor,
and so constructed as to be easily re-
moved. BY making roosts low and
level, the fowls will not crowd each
other, no injury will result from get
ting on and off, and no fight for pref
erence of position will take place,
to say nothing of superior ventilation,
etc.
Nest boxes should be built to be
readily cleaned and thoroughly disin.
fected, and removable to be taken out
of doors. They should be in dark
ened place. Nests should not be Joined
! but separate (soap boxes are excel
| lent), and compel hens to walk in
rather than fly upon the nests from

| Roosts and nests should frequently
be taken outside the building, and

]. burned. The fire will run over the
surface without doing any harm. Il
properly constructed roosts and nests

few moments leaving an empty poultry

that any kind of structure may be
built. A few years ago cement
bnilding was the exception. Now they
are found everywhere and are giving
great satisfaction.
Possibly the most satisfactory re-
suits are obtained from hollow con-
crete blocks. The use of cement
blocks has given a great impetus to
the manufacture of cement. Big
plants are rapidly being erected all
over the country and as consequence,
the price is only about one-half OF
what it was three or four years ago.
There is an immense amount OF ma
terial in the United States for the
manufacture of cement and 1t only re-
quires capital and a demand for the
product to produce all that is neces-
sary.
Special machines are made for fancy
facings and other ornamental stone.
These machines are so equipped that
the different ornamental blocks can
be secured by changing some OF the
parts. The manufacture of concrete
posts is growing rapidly, as it is very
difficult to get wooden posts at a reas-
enable figure These posts when well
made are handsome in appearance,
| frost proof, and get harder and strong
| er with age. They are practically IN
destructible. With wire fences and
cement posts there is no danger from
! fire. Weeds and leaves can be burned
along the fence row without injury.

Poultry is worthy of more attention
than the general run OF farmers give
it, Everyone keeps chickens. Many
keep ducks, geese and turkeys, but
Of all who do, only small per cent
really study this branch OF farming
and get a fraction of the possible re-
turns.
Hens need breeding for eggs as cows
do for milk. The scrub hen is no more
of a money-maker than the scrub COW.
The hen is in need of balanced ra-
ton the same as the COW. She gets
il herself in summer but In winter
she must be supplied by the farmer.
If you have been keeping track of
the cash received from your poultry
you will be aware Of how many gro
Gerry and other bills have been paid
by the neglected hen. If you will be-
gin to study poultry and practice what
you learn, you will see how much
more money you have been getting.
Every farmer should take greater
interest in farm poultry. Breed for
eggs, feed for eggs, learn how to fat
ten the surplus. Poultry-raising is not
to be laughed at.
Haven't time to fool with hens
Then turn that business over to the
wife or daughter and give them the
profits. Don't make them do the work
and you pocket the cash. The laborer
is worthy of her hire. She will soon
have new cloak, new dress, etc.
and you will be none the poorer for
ii. Good way for the girls to earn
money for piano, or music lessons
or satisfy some long cherished desire
for selfimprovement.

A Few cackIes.

Hens will produce more eggs when
given all the milk they can drink.
Eggs desired for long keeping should
be kept infertile and in a cool place.
Remember that eggs are not the
outgrowth of accident but manage
ment.
Guineas are better insect destroyers
than chickens and do not. scratch as
much.
1t is doing the little things when
they need to be done that counts in
chicken raising.
Kill the sick hens, don't waste time
with them. Bury them deep or burn
their bodies. Better to loose a few
sick hens than for disease to spread
through all the flock.

THE BERRY GARDEN.

The farmers berry garden should
be decided upon now. Mature plants
for the season, select your plants,
order them early. One-quarter acre
of good land, set with proper vari-
cites and well cultivated, should pro-
duce from twenty to forty bushels of
nice berries every day in season and
a liberal supply canned, preserved or
dried during the entire year. Plants
for such a garden may be purchased
direct from reliable grower for $40
or SIS and should include the follow
ing varieties: Three hundred straw
berry plants early, medium and late;
one hundred blackberry plants, early
and late; fifty black raspberry plants,
early and late; fifty red raspberry
plants, early and late; seventy-fiye
currants, red and white, early and late;
eighteen grapes, three varieties, early.
Multiply this list by four for one acre,
or by twenty for five acres, and you
have the right proportion for con-
tinuous supply of different varieties for
market purposes.
I Good berries may be grown on any
soil, sand, clay, muck, loan, gravel
or combination Of each, provided the
same be highly fortified, well drained
and thoroughly cultivated. Early
, fruits are usually most desirable, anl
| light soils with southern exposure are
{ best adapted for that purpose. Ligh
soils, however, require heavy fertil
} izing, more mulch in summer, and arr
l more liable to injury by draught ant
t produce lighter crops. Clay soil mus
t be well drained. Such land is NOR
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-04-19


and is not so favorable for winter pro-
lection. The ideal berry ground would
be. first, a rich sandy loan with clay
sub-soil; second, a dark loan or
gravelly loan mixed with clay, and
clay sub-soil, all having a southerly
or eastern slope.
Any of these mixed soils will make
good berry gardens by applying good
barnyard manure, which contains all
the essential elements required. When
such manure can not be obtained, then
commercial fertilizers rich in nitrogen
and potash should be supplied. Avoid
low, fat land unless undermined; 1t
is usually cold, late crops mature and
are more subject to frosts. Avoid steep
hiIlsides, as being more subject to
drought and wash of soil by severe
rains.
Very few farms are without suitable
soil and location for a good berry
garden, and that farmer who simply
exists, year after year, without a good
garden, has not learned The first prin-
ciples of good living. Who should
grow berries? First of all, farmers
everywhere, for family use. Farmers
must grow berries or do without. No
| one can grow them so cheaply as he.
They may be produced ready for pick
ing at two cents per quart. The farmer
saves cost OF picking, boxing, Grating,
/ freight, express and profit OF growers.
He gets them at first cost, fresh from
| the vines, and to the extent of his
own family, has the best market in the
world-a home market. He can select
the best land and location on his farm
and is sure of a profit with half crop.
Farmers can never have ideal homes
without the fruit garden. 1t teaches
the lesson of intensified farming, and
results in better tillage, larger crops,
| better stock and improved methods
in every way. Good gardens and poor
farms never kept company long. The
/ growing of berries for family use is
easily done. The growing of berries
on a large scale and selling them re
quires considerable skill, and a special
business tact. Only those who have
good location, good market and taste
for the business should attempt it
Many small farmers SO situated are
making a success by commencing mod
erately and increasing acreage from
season to season as experience war
rants. Berries should be grown BY
owners of all village homes, and acre
age property in city and village may
be profitably used for that purpose
The market gardener selling his owl
products can often. make an acre O
two in berries very profitable.

Thorough BREEDS Best.

1t may be claimed that the best
hens in common 'flock-those that
produce eggs-are at least well bred.
1t is difficult to find flock of hens
that has not some Plymouth Rocks,
Brahma, Leghorn or Wyandotte grades
among them, and which accounts for
an excellence that may be found. If
scrubs will pay, how much better
would hens that have been selected,
do? Scrubs are creatures of accident,
while pure breds are the result of
breeding. The poultry raiser who will
do some thinking in the matter of
breeding poultry and who will set
out to accomplish an object would
have better results than the one who
allows his flock to increase without
careful supervision. The ones who
will give their scrubs attention will
derive better results from them, and
will be induced to improve; and il
they are not willing to look after
scrubs, they will not succeed with
pure breeds.

BOOSTS and Nests.

Less consideration is given roosts
and nests than any other part of the
poultry house, and this is not right
With a desire to save labor roosts
are nailed to the walls, and nests are
so fastened as to become a part of
the building in itself, and it Is i'm
possible to thoroughly clean the poul-
try house and rid it of vermin, for
as long as there is crack In which
a louise can hide, there will be a
rapid increase, for single female

foundation for a million In week
The perches should be built so that
they do not touch the walls at any
place, for the red mites or lice that
do the most harm do not stay on the
fowls during the day. but hide il

CLEANED ONE STORE.

Westville Merchants Goods Taken by
 Burglars.
 Burglars, who used team, robbed the grocery, grain and feed store of Charles J. Smith, 1277 Whalley avenue, near the end of the Westville trolley line, Monday night, and drove off with about $2OO worth of provisions The cash register was tapped, but only $5 was found there.
 Two tubs of butter, half dozen bags of flour, several smoked hams, mum Der of shoulders of beef, miscellaneous groceries and even MT. Smiths rubber boots were stolen.
 Fr. Smith left the store at about o'clock Monday night and left every thing all right. When he opened up yesterday morning the tracks Of team which had backed up to the store were plainly visible in the snow. The sleuths put on the case traced the wheel tracks up the North Woodbridge road for some distance and are making Investigations in that direction.
 The robbers entered the store with a false key, locking it again when they left. Westville is stirred up.
