The Illinois experiment station has
recently compiled figures giving the
relative cost or round and rectangular
barns. These show that round barn
having diameter OF sixty feet has the
same capacity as rectangular struc-
ture 80 by 1914 feet and costs In ma
terial alone $79976. while the material
for the latter costs $1-O2$27 liz plank
frame and Sf.233.4f If mortise frame.
With cost Of foundatton and $50 ton

for the round structure and $1.424.43
and 1.634.57 respectively for the plank

During the coming winter feeding

of oat straw should be taken account
Of. A ton OF clover hay contains about
FIVE times as much protein as ton Of
bright oat straw, about twice as much
fat and not quite 50 much of carbohy-
drates. This means. that with clover
hay worth from SO to $12 bright oat
straw should b. worth from 81 to S..

An interesting fact has been made
very clear this season In connection
with land. naturally well drained,
which has been lately tfled-namely
that in the drieSt season known in
years this land has produced larger
crops of better quality than land lying
near by which was apparently sufh
GENTLY dry for crop production. This
greater productfveneSS seems directly
due to the fact that In land which
