Cement For Barns.

4 prominent Iowa farmer was
ready TO build big barn this spring,
but the estimates on the lumber
scared him out. The other day he
figured with man owning concrete
mixer and a cement block machine
and found that the barn could ac-
tually be built of'concrete blocks for
less than of lumber. And, besides. 1t
would be almost entirely fireproof.

gravel pit is only mile distant, and
the plan is to have the mixer and
block machine brought to the farm
and the blocks made there.

GaDeS in Chickens.

There are many theories among
poultry raisers as to the cause of the
cape worm getting into the chickens
throat. Some claim that the chicken
louise causes gapes, but this theory is
not a reasonable one, since chicken
lice and cape worms are two entirely
different species of pests which
trouble the poultryman. The gener-
ally accepted theory of late years. is
that cape worms after they get a
start on a farm or in poultry yard
Ii over winter as parasite of the
angle worm and that the chickens get
them from eating the worms or else
pick up the eggs from the soil.
The best plan of fighting the cape
worm is to put the chickens on new
ground each year, but this is often
not practical, and liberal applica-
ton of quicklime to the poultry yard
will greatly aid in destroying the
cape worm. If the chickens are kept
from the earth which is infested with
the cape worm until they are large
enough to escape the gapes, they
may be avoided in this way: 1t is
generally thought that old chip yards
give the chicks the gapes, but I have
one of the oldest chip yards in this
part of the country, and the chicks
run over it, but do not take the
gapes, so it is not in the chip yard
unless the yard is infested with the
cape worm. Not all angle worms
are breeders of the cape worm, as
the gape worm is parasite, and
unless they get start in the poultry
yards the angle worms are as free
from them in that soil as the chicks
are. Likely the old theory that lice
are responsible for. cape worms had
it's origin in the noticeable fact that
lousy chicks are more likely Ito sue
cumb to the gapes than ones that
are not lousy. Lice and gapes work
ing together will kill any youIs
chicken, and either alone is bad
enough.-A. J. Legg, Albion, w. Va.

Root Crops For Cows.

Roots can form to advantage a
part of many rations, particularly
where silage is not available. They
contain too much water to form the
entire ration. Potatoes contain the
largest amount of digestible matter,
but are not readily eaten unless
cooked. Mangels are the heaviest
yielders, but contain so large per-
centage of water that they are rather
expensive 10 handle. Sugar beets
contain much less water, but are
more difficult to grow, and do not
produce so heavy yield. Artichokes
often make a profitable hog feed.

Fats as Milk Feeds.

1t was formerly believed that the
fat in the food was the main source
of the fat in the milk. A good COW,
however, will produce in a year Q
much larger amount of fat in the
milk than she consumes in the food,
showing that the. fa:: are in part
produced from other nutriments. In
vestigations that have been made
show that it is not possible to in
crease either the percentage or the
total amount of fat in the milk for
any appreciable time by the feeding
of fats or oils. Where fats have
been fed to COWS, even at the rate Of
two pounds or more per day of tai
low, cotton-seed oil, or other fats.
the fat content of the milk was not
permanently increased. - American

Age Limit Of Dairy Cows.

A bulletin from the Wisconsin sta
ton states that a cow is at her best
during her fifth and sixth years. up
to which time the production of milk
and butter fat by COWS in normal
condition increases each year. The
length of time the cow will maintain
her maximum production depends on
her constitution, strength and the
care with which she is fed and man
aged: A good dairy COW should not
show. any marked falling off until
after ten years of age. Many ex-
cellent records have been made by
COWS older than this. The quality
of the milk produced by heifers is
somewhat better than that OF older
COWS, for decrease has been noted
OF one-tenth to two-tenths of one
per cent. in the average fat content
for each year until the COWS have
reached the full age. This is caused
BY the increase in the weight OF the
COWS with advancing age. At any
rate, there seems to be parallels. n
between the two sets of figures fcr
the same COWS. Young animals use
a portion of their food for the fo1-
nation CT body tissue, and it is 10
be expected, therefore, that heifers
will require a larger portion of nu-
triments for the production of milk
or butter fat than do other cows.
After a certain age has been reached,
on the average seven years OF age,
the food required for the production
of a unit Of milk or butter fat again
increases, both as regards dry matter
and the digestible comporents of the
food. A good milk cow of excep-
tional strength, kept under favorable
conditions, whose digestive system
has not been impaired by overfeed~
ing or crowding for high results.
should continue to be profitable
producer until her twelfth year, al
though the economy OF her produc-
ton is apt to be somewhat reduced
before this age is reached.-Balti'

LOST A FINGER.
Jim Sturgeon a Sadder and Wiser
 Man Through an Accident.

The loss of a finger under the best of circumstances is an unpleasant thing but to have it happen while operating a sausage machine is es- pecially humiliating. That, however. is just what happened to Jim Stur- geon yesterday. He was giving a boy some, instructions in the handling of the sausage grinder and at the time was running the machine himself. The machine is supplied with electrical power and goes at a fast rate of speed. In some manner or other. MT. Sturgeon let his left hand get too near the knives and before he knew it. was minus finger and had several others somewhat cut up. The finger that was the worst injured was the third. The knives cut it off and crushed it badly between the first and second joints and the member was later amputated by Dr. Brechan at the second joint.

Shortly before noon Monday, man driving a team of mules hitched to a top buggy, met with an accident near the Pacific Creamery company's plant. that may result seriously for him. As he passed the plant, the machinery frightened the mules and they started to run. He was able to hold them but the pole of the buggy dropped from the neck yoke and a moment later struck a high place and the rig was turned almost a summersault. The driver was hurled to the ground strik- ing on the back of his head. A deep gash was cut in the scalp and his back was badly hurt; just how bad it was not possible for the attending phy- sicians to ascertain yesterday though they took a serious view Of the acci- dent and considered the injured man in very bad shape. He was brought to town and placed under good care at the Olive.

 The work of preparation is now far enough advanced that it begins to show up little. It has not been an- nounced before, but the place where the biggest part of the show will take place is on the vacant lots between the Andre building and Lukins store. An arbor for shade will be erected there 40x165 feet and the barbecue will be served there. A big pavilion will be built on the lot for dancing and the work on the former structure is already underway. The committee held another meeting yesterday after noon and plans were further perfected.
