OF IMPORTANCE

to healthy body is pair of nor
NAL eyes-strong eyes.
Wise people do not strain or over
work the muscles of their eyes by
too much close work such as sew
ing, reading and doing fancy work,
unless their eyes are prepared for
such work by having them proper
ly fitted with glasses, which are used
for near work only. Such people
have strong eyes and strong bodies
when they grow old.
You cannot protect your eyes too
much against the folly of much read
ing and sewing or other close work
without the use of glasses to relieve
the strain that is imposed upon the
eyes by such work. Know that the
eyes were never intended to focus for
close work for any length Of time
like they are used at present

In voting on this matter there is no
danger of coercion, and we have seen
no signs of bribery. Everybody can
vote as they please without danger
of being discharged or losing patron
age. All the writer's stand squarely
on the platform, whatever that is, and
each one expects, If elected, to appre-
ciate the honor conferred, and to give
us glowing account of the trip while
enjoying the vacation it affords.
Not one of the candidates would go
back on the platform after being
elected, for in taking the trip and
writing it up there the honor lies, :"
as well as the greatest benefits, for il
is an education that lasts lifetime
and is an advantage to the winner
and all associates.
There will be Republican head
quarters" down at Seattle next June,
but we don't know yet just what hotel
it will be situated in, nor who will be
in charge, but he or she will be there,
and will have a good stateroom in one
of the best steamers that goes up the
Alaskan coast under the morning

IT PAYS TO PUT HAY
AND ALFALFA UNDER COVER
Plans Of Good Shed for Storage
~ A. NJ. Teneyck, Professor Of
Agronomy, Kansas.

From experiment station reports
and from the experience of farmers,
the writer concludes that the ordinary
loss of hay stored In shed will be, on
the average, ten per cent. less than
that of hay stacked out of doors. A
shed large enough to store 70 tons OF
alfalfa will cost about 1920. Ten per
cent. of 70 tons of alfalfa hay, at ten
dollars per ton, is $40. II the hay Is
stacked 1t must, as rule, be handled
twice in feeding 1t, while II stored In
The shed or barn, one handling may
get 1t to the live stock. The extra
handling Of the hay will cost at least
SO cents per ton, or $35 dollars. Again,
many leaves are shattered by the
extra handling, which may easily re-
duce the feeding value of the hay SO
cents per tons, which makes another

necessary, but II the plan Is practiced
Of spreading the hay from single
cutting over the whole area Of the
shed, some side protection from driv.
Ing rains during the summer should
be given.
Figures /, and illustrate the
plan of construction of an alfalfa shed
which the writer recently built at his
home farm on College Hill, near the
Agricultural college. The shed Is
4Sx24x1Sh feet. or about II feet high
in the clear from the floor or ground
walls to the caves. The plan of con-
struction Of this shed may be readily
understood from the illustrations. The
floor walls average about Is inches in
height and are made Of loosely laid
rocks which were near at hand. The
posts were set In cement, which was
rounded at the surface about the posts
in order to shed water. The floor Of
the shed consists of loosely laid poles
young trees that were being drubbed
In clearing a neighboring piece Of land.
The posts are white oak trees, aver
aging about seven inches in diameter
at the top and ten to twelve inches
at the base. The frame timbers and
braces were fastened to the posts with
lag-screws and were usually bolted to-
gether rather than nailed-some nails
were used along with the bolts.
The roof is braced as shown In Fig.
4, and securely tied to the frame by
braces at each post, as shown in the
plans, and each rafter was securely
nailed to the plate.
The hay-carrier track is attached to
a 2x10 ridge timber for the first 16
feet and to a 2x8 for the remaining SO
feet, the 2x10 extending four feet
over the end of the shed, from which
the fork is lowered to the load. The
ends of the rafters are flush with the
top edge of the ridge timber and are
securely nailed.
When built, this shed was left open,
but it will be sided this season with
boards to within four feet of the floor,
at an estimated cost of about $780,
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1908-11-13

preferable to the method Of short
bracing commonly practiced. The
short braces easily work loose and the
shed soon becomes "rickety" a7d un
safe and is apt to blow over In q
strong wind.
The roof should be strongly con
structed and securely fastened to the
posts. Galvanized iron or steel roof
ing makes a durable roof covering
and the same material may be used
for siding. 1t is advisable to side
haysheds, at least part of the way
down, otherwise there may be consid
cradle damage from driving rain and
snow. II the hay is stored a bent al
