hay, which is carried to these lofts by
a carrier running the whole length of
the barn. The lofts above the COW
and Landing stable are used for stor-
ing corn fodder in winter The horse
stable, exclusive of the box stall, will
accommodate five horses. In the COW
stable there is room for seven cows,
and a few calves on one end. Each
COW has a separate stall, and instead
of being tied around the neck small
chain which is snapped into staple
at the rear of the stall keeps each
COW in place and gives her perfect
freedom to lie down or lick herself,
and my COWS are always clean. These
stalls are so arranged that the COW
cannot turn around and the mixer
has plenty of room without being
crowded AS my lambs are dropped
in February and March it is necessary
to have a separate stable for this pur-
pose. In this stable are several small
pens in which the ewes are confined
until the lambs get strong. Most of
my barn floor is covered with plank
which are getting out of shape. Early
in spring ! intend to tear out these
plank, level off the ground and put
in solid cement floor. | have the
gravel already drawn for this purpose

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 1t was
not necessary to purchase much new
lumber. AS l 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 | 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

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 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 fol

WHY FARMING
NEEDS SYSTEM
Vast Amount OF Capital Now In
vested Must BE Accounted for
and Dividends Earned
Conditions Changed.

The Bookkeeper estimates that the
capital now invested in the United
States amounts to fifty billions Of dol
lars. or fifty times the amount in
vested in the steel industry, which is
the next largest. and says:
Calculating on the basis of the orr
ginal value of his land. the farmer
is making money. Calculated on the
current market price at which ne
could withdraw his investment and
put It in interest-bearing industrial
securities. he is losing money every
time the seasons revolve. In many
sections of the country farm values
have doubled. even trebled. in the last
generation. Land that has been
worked on the basis calculation of
from IS to $40 an acre. must in the
future respond to acreage values of
from SIS to 5000. The old generation

SITTING Hens,

In managing sitting hens. my first
care is to see that the hens are free
from disturbance by other hens or
animals that might brighten them and
injure the eggs. says writer in the

POULTRY NOTES.

No fowl is so hard to doctor as a
turkey.
Do not crowd your poultry quarters.
1t does not pay.
Egg production can be increased by
breeding and selection.
Pure air and sunshine are the poul-
try breeders best friends.
The hen is now laying many
ground for next winters complaint.
1t is quite as easy to grow turkeys
of superior quality as it is to grow
those Of inferior quality.
The newly Matched chick is very
tender. and even under the best Of
care some of the broods are sure to
die.
The chance for profit in the produc-
ton of turkeys is gradually improving
as the result of more general use
OF flesh
The demand for fresh eggs is one
that is seldom met at any season Of
the year and in any section of the
country
Turkeys can be Matched early in the
spring and should grow to weigh
from IA to 20 pounds by Thanksgiv-
ing week.
A secret of success with turkeys lies
in avoiding inbreeding. A little turk
debilitated at the start by inbreedins
has a poor chance for its life.
Chicks properly fed, housed and
cared for will need no medicine. Give
them all the sun possible, but pro-
tect them from the raw spring winds.
There is no better time than now to
set geese eggs. Set them under
hen. allowing her five eggs, which are
about all she can conveniently cover.
All admit that If 1t were not for the
unnatural losses that have been sus-
tanned in the past few years much
more profit could be made from grow
ing turkeys.
Clean. dry quarters kept free from
lice and mites by spraying, and plenty
of pure water TO drink at all times.
are prime requisites In rearing
brood of chicks.
There is no other kind of live stock
that will return so large a profit to
the successful producer as will poul-
try. and no kind of poultry is more
profitable than turkeys when proper
| ly handled.
one of the very best chick foods
for baby chicks can be made at home
in a common coffee mill Grind to-
gether two measures of sound yellow
corn. one measure sound hard red
wheat. one measure best barley, to
make a coarse meal and add one
measure of rolled oats. Feed on wood
or galvanized iron feeding trays or
| from a food trough.
