Barn for Mixed Farming.

The farmer who can SO adjust his
york that he may dispense with the
help OF one man is lucky indeed. but
many farmer has done so by simply
changing his system of feeding and
caring for the stock; also by so dis
posing of the grain and hay that in
stead OF hauling many tons Of 1t to
market 1t Is fed on the farm. and the
beef, pork. butter. cheese, ETC., sold.
This allows the farmer to restore to
the ground at least part of the fer
tility in the shape Of manure.
The barn plan shown herewith in
the two illustrations. the ground plan
and the perspective view, is so ar
ranged that one man may feed and
care for the stock in short time. AS
shown on the floor plan. the barn will
accommodate IA cows. IL horses, has
box stalls for both the cows and
horses, also large calf pen. The in
stallation of manure carriers and hay

pay for themselves in the labor saved
A feature of the barn not to be over
looked Is the arrangement of the feed
room and silo. The four-foot chute ex-
tends the entire length of the silo. and
has small windows for light. a tight
door below separating same from the

and from there shoveled to the mixing
boxes-one for the COWS and one for

iced room and two more may be
located on the floor above and con.

of the grain. These spouts may be
located directly over the mixing boxes
All hay is supposed to be fed from
above. one hay chute being provided
for each two stalls.

provide room for both male animals as

PRESERVE THE

Recent investigations show that
eggs laid in May and early June keep
better than those laid at any other
time of the year, and for that reason
eggs laid at this particular time of the
year should be preserved.
1t has been found that water glass
when properly made seals the eggs
and prevents further infection when
kept at a comparatively low tempera-
ture. Water glass can usually be OBJ

to $l.25 a gallon. a gallon of the water

The development and extension of
truck farming in the Atlantic coast
states has been coincident with the
development of transportation facili.
ties throughout that section. The
phenomenal growth of the great con.
Stunning centers of the country has
stimulated a corresponding growth
and extension of the food-producing
territory. especially of that capable
of producing perishable truck crops.
Transportation facilities, together
with cheap labor and cheap lands at
the south, have made 1t possible to
produce products out of season at the
north in competition with greenhouse
products.
The first development of truck farm.
Ing, as we now recognize 1t, as dis

this is not certain. The muskmelon
