Because they have neglected them

All of these symptoms are indica-

In presenting its estimates for the

Doors for Barn Gable

There are several ways of hanging
gable doors for the hay-fork, some of
which are illustrated in figs. 1 to 5.
Where the hay is removed from the
load with sings, the doors must have
a width nearly equal to that of the
load itself, and in the diagrams the
door is represented as II feet wide by
II feet high. To make perfectly sure
that the loaded fork or sling clears
with the coarsest hay, the door is safer
made IL by IL where the dimensions
of the barn will permit of this.
In fig. l is represented the gable
door hinged at the bottom, so as to
open outward and downward. In this
type of door it is necessary, for closing
the door, to provide rope passing
over pulley in the gable. In order
to make the door as small and light
as possible, window, which may be

How can the world get from place
to place is a problem that is now en-
gaging the attention of lawmakers
and transportation experts.
Railroad rates, determinations, 2
cent fare bills, and a host of other
knotty questions, are bringing wrink-
les to the brows of railroad presidents
and forcing lawmakers into statutes
whose value is questioned by many
and warmly praised by others.
But not all countries have to wrestle
with this knotty issue. Some people
are mercifully delivered from railroads
and never know what the corruption
of railroad companies is. They are

ion of centuries ago, with the vehicles

A plan for COW stable with several
new features has been designed by F.
M. Logan, commissioner of live stock
and dairying for British Columbia. In
the Illustration the construction of the
floor, stall and manger are shown. The
floor, which is Of wood, is inexpensive
and will last probably ten years. A
concrete floor may be preferred, in
which case the method of lying pre-
vents the animal slipping into the gut
ter. The gutter should be 10 inches
Ceep and IL inches wide.
The walks behind the COWS are five
feet from the gutter to the outside of
wall which will be sufficient if the
manure is taken out with a litter car
rier, but if it is to be loaded into a cart
and taken away with a horse, the sta
BILE should be made three or four feet
wider, so the passages will be wide
enough to admit of cart and horse.
The passage between the two rows of
COWS is six feet in width, and in feed

and wagon can be taken along this
driveway and the COWS fed direct from

of the stable will allow this to be
done if your wagon is not more than
six feet in width The first foot or two
of the walk behind the COWS should
slope toward the gutter, so that any
water falling on it will find it's way to
the gutter.
If wooden floor is put in the stable,
care should be taken in making the
gutter so it will be perfectly water
tight. This can be done by laying a
piece of cotton dipped in red lead on
the edge of the planks, before spiking
them together, when making the gut
ter, or it can be made perfectly tight
with a little calking after the gutter is
made. Chemists tell us that the liquid
part of the manure is twice as valu-
able as the solids, so no farmer can
afford to allow this to escape through
a leaky gutter. These cutters will not
require to be as wide as where the
COWS are tied by the neck, for when
they are tied in this way they are OBJ

will all fall in the gutter. A gutter
10 inches deep and IL inches wide

Plants Out of Place"

Weeds have been designated as
"plants out of place." It is certain
that their continued growth even on
fraction of the cultivated fields has a
detrimental effect, not only on the
growth of the useful crop, but also on
the future prosperity of the farmer
Weeds consume large quantities of
moisture, and plant food, thus if large
numbers make their appearance in
the corn or cotton and no effort is
made to bring them under subsection,
the supply of material required by the
useful plant in - process of growth
must necessarily be @Ss1rtailed. This in
turn means a decreased yield. The
regular crop is also choked and crowd
ed by an abundant growth of weeds,
and at the end of the season the pro-
cess of harvesting becomes a very diff
ficult matter But in addition to these
items there is still more serious OBJ
lection to be raised against the weed
crop, and this is found in the fact that
an abundant harvest of noxious seeds
is forthcoming in the autumn. The
following statement suggests the out

ADAPTATION
OF PLANTS
BY PROF. r. p. SANDSTEN.

We are in the habit of speaking Of
adaptation as something entirely
apart from variation Adaptation
stands for the slow changes induced
by the environment. If the existing
plant forms are largely the result Of
adaptation to the ever-changing en-
vironment, then we have strong evil
dence that this adaptation or varia-
ton Of plants can be utilized to con-
siderable advantage by the horticul-
turist to acclimatize plants, which are
not hardy to our climatic conditions
I fully realize that this view will be
criticized and derided by those who
have experienced losses and disap.
pointment in the growing of fruit
trees not adapted to our soils and
climate. It may, to be sure, require
a longer period Of time than is al
lotted single person, but we should
bear in mind that we are not working
for this generation, but for the gen.
erations to come. Further, I am not
quite convinced that the sad expert
ences of the past are of sufficient argu-
ment for us to draw the sweeping con-
clusion that results cannot be accom-
plished within the span of one per-
sons life. The large number of old
eastern apple trees now growing in
the eastern and southern parts of
Wisconsin are eloquent witnesses to
the kind of adaptation have spoken
of. Not only this, but those trees are
old and have stood the test of the
most severe winters on record. I do
not mean to say that eastern varieties
can be grown successfully all over the
state, but I: do say and believe that
certain sections along Lake Michigan
are adapted to many Of these var
