My barn is not one OF the modern
kind, but one that has been built over
or added on to. as shown by the Illus
tration, writes John Jackson of OF
tawa county, Mich, in the Michigan
Farmer The dotted lines show the
main building, on which additions
have been built on all four sides.
These additions were built on at diff
erent times, and by taking off the
boards from the sides and ends of the
main barn for the additions It was
not necessary to purchase much new
lumber. As | did all the carpenter
work myself the expense Of these ad-
ditions was comparatively small, and
now have barn that Is very con-
venient, and one large enough to hold
about all the hay. grain, corn fodder
and straw that I can raise. AS the
barn is painted red. It compares favor
ably in appearance with most barns
around the country. A portion of the
barn was painted where the lumber
was not planed
By putting on two good coats there
is but little difference in the looks OF
this or the part where the lumber was
planed. There are many old barns
around the country. that could be en-
larged by similar additions and paint
ed without planning the lumber. which
could be thus improved at small ex-
pense. Such a barn can be nearly as
conveniently arranged and by paint
ing be made to look nearly as well as
a modern structure. which would cost
more than many farmers could afford.
In my barn the lofts above the
horse and sheep stable are used for

cheap land-or gift land-must give
way before the new generation. The
newcomer, the man who would estab-
fish himself as farmer today, has to
meet the changed conditions. and II
is to these conditions that the busi-
ness Of farming must respond. The
question of fixed capital has come to
stay. We are not yet out OF our first
generations as farmers on grand
scale. This first generation is taking
Its hand from the pillow. and those
who follow the pioneers, either
through deed of sale or probate. must
hereafter reckon interest on invest
ment as an actual item OF cost. Farm
ing as an industry is in its transit
tional stage, and 1t is to meet the
new conditions In busiDesslike way
that experts have been giving their
attention to the question of devising
a system of cost accounting for the
farmer.

Grapes, when the fox happened along

It is often stated that pullet eggs
are less unsuitable for Matching than

case, especially after the pullets have

are less fertile than the intervening
ones.

Chicago Board of Health Issues
Warning Bulletin.
Urges Vegetarian Diet and Gives
Pointers to Those Who Must
Have Meat-Mucb Nutrition
In Cheap Steak.

Chicago-"Don't make junkshop
of your stomach" is the warning of
the Chicago health department in the
weekly bulletin issued the other day
The editor of the bulletin advocates
a vegetarian diet, but for those who
must have meat with their meals he
points out way to get around the
high cost of living problem.
THE cost of an article of food is no
true guide as to its real nutritive
value" he says. For example. glass
of pure milk with bread and butter. an
egg and dish of fruit, costing all
told 25 cents. is much better meal
for the average person than big sir
loin steak. which, with trimmings,
will cost five times as much
The trouble with many people is
they are willing to pay high prices for
food that, while it tickles or pleases
their palates, is of no more value than
that costing much less.
"a pound of protein or fat from
tenderloin steak at 2S cents a pound
contains no more nutrition than the
same amount from shoulder or round
steak at less than half the expense.
cents will buy meat enough, with vege-
tables added. to make savory and
nourishing stew for six persons: and
the entire cost. including bread. butter
coffee and vegetables. need not ex-
coed 10 cents per person.
According to the Londan Lancet,
there is very little difference between
the nutritive value of wheat and rye.
One distinct advantage of rye bread
is that 1t keeps fresh longer than
wheat bread Rye bread also has dis
tinct laxative properties.
1.-THE effect of deep breathing as
mental stimulant is very pronounced.
Two minutes exercise of deep breath
ing will remove all feelings of slug
gishness. provided, of course. that the
exercise be taken in room with the
windows wide open. or, better still. In
the open air.
THE mouth is the seat of many of
the communicable diseases. For this
reason mouth sanitation is important.
A clean mouth and sound teeth are
big factors in promoting physical
health. Oral hygiene. as 1t is called,
is becoming an important and recog-
nized branch of medical school inspec-
ton. 1t is well understood that proper
care and attention given to the mouth
means that the child will be healthier.
