Much has been written IN agricul
tural papers advocating barn frame
built of plank. AS timber becomes
scarcer the question of material is Of
vital importance. There was time
when the only idea of strength was
size, and weight OF material. With in
creased intelligence. we have learned
that by the application of mechanical
principles, greater resisting power
can be secured with far less material.
In bridge building we can see the
truss principle applied. In the erection
OF all large buildings the architect
makes use of the truss in some form,
though to the casual observer the
bridge is ever exposed for study. In
the old fashioned barn It was custom.

Feeding Ewes Before LambIns.-

Feeding Ewes Before lambing.-
In the feeding and management OF
ewes. It is extremely important that
they should have ample opportunity
for exercise. Exercise is quite as
important as the feed they receive.
II the ewes are in good condition
when taken into the pens in the fall,
1t would probably not be necessary to
feed them any grain during the first
part of the winter. A little clover hay
and roots (turnips preferred) will fur
nish them with practically all they re-
Quire. AS to the amount of turnips,
would not recommend feeding more
than three or four pounds of turnips
to eve in a day. II pea straw is
substituted for part of the clover hay,
it may be necessary to feed a light
grain ration. For at least month or
six weeks before the lambs begin to
come, II Is a good plan to feed rather
fewer roots, say not more than two
pounds per eve per day, and to com
mence feeding a light grain ration.
Oats and bran make about the safest
food for this purpose and a pound Of
grain per day per eve should be suf-
ficient. IL the ewes are very thin, It
may be necessary to feed somewhat
more heavily. but 1t would be prefer
able to commence grain feeding earlier
and to continue the light ration
throughout. or course there are many
