POINTS IN FARM BUILDINGS
Matter Should Be Considered From
Manipulating Standpoint Rather
Than Fine Appearance.
CBy r. M. ROBERTS.)

1t always gives me great satisfac.
ton to see the big red barns that dot
the country everywhere, but the more
/ study the question of farm build
ings the more | am coming to believe
that we would better devote more at
tention to sanitation and practical util-
ity and less to large snowy houses and
barns. A large snowy barn looks nice
but we should consider the matter
from money-making standpoint
rather than from the fine appearance
of the building.
l would take time and study and
plan and then build in such con-
yenient and substantial manner that
you will have no regrets afterward.
The cost of a good building is forgot
ten long before the quality.
A good convenient building has a
value on the farm that is difficult to
estimate in dollars and cents but to
build large. snowy buildings and keep
them in repair creates additional an
nual expense that few farmers can
afford to keep up.
l am often asked II 1t will pay
to borrow money to build new barns
and silos. l would say yes for the
man who has the money and ability
to turn them to practical use, but un-
less man is an excellent farmer and
has the ready money to build accord
ing to his ideals, l would advise him
to go slow and build only such build
ings as he finds necessary to conduct
his farming operations in an econom.
ical manner.

CHANGING SEED FOR GRAIN
No Necessity for Substitution, 40
cordng to Records Kept by Varl-
GUS Experiment Stations.

The records OF Experiment Stations
do not show a necessity for changing
seed grains to produce good and salts
factory yields. On the contrary, these
records show that as a new seed be-
comes adapted to locality and its
environments, the yield has increased,
with a tendency to improvement in
quality. These results have been at
tanned by careful cleaning and grad
ing each year. More than a thousand
varieties of grains have been tested
at the Minnesota station and 1t has
become a matter of common observa-
ton that new varieties from distant
sources seldom gain satisfactory re-
suits until they become we'll acclimat-
ed"
Observation and experiment further
show that the degeneration of varie-
ties-or the so-called running out
results from careless selection of
seed and poor tillage rather than
from natural causes" The Minnesota
station would reserve the best field of
grain on the farm, or the best piece
Of that field, for seed-plot, and seek
oy the use of the tanning mill and
grader to increase the yield and make
the variety already grown more val
liable to the locality.

San Jose Scale.

The San Jose scale is becoming
more and more general problem in
Connecticut According to Professor
Gulley, it is pretty thoroughly distrib-
uted all over the state, and more and
more the orchardists are spraying for
the scale as a part of the regular
orchard routine. Popular favor is d.
vided between one of the commercial
preparations called ScaleciGe and the
new ready-mixed lime sulphur mixture.
At present the Scalecide seems to be
most In use because, although little
more costly, ut goes further" as Pro
lessor Gulley says, and certainly does
the work and is hardly more disagree
able to use than so much water. OF
ate years several companies are put
ing up good concentrated sulphur
lime mixture, OF wtluh great deal is
being sold.

Growing Mushrooms.

Comparatively few farmers or even
gardeners grow mushrooms for the
home table. Their culture is simple,
and there is no reason why they
should not be produced more freely
for home consumption. 1t is import
ant to secure first-class spawn. There
are now several firms which produce
pure spawn that can be relied upon If
cultural conditions are favorable. Most
Of these firms issue pamphlets and
bulletins which give all necessary in
formation for the growing of crop of
mushrooms. This is a good subject to
interest farm boys and girls.

ISLAND DAIRY BRED CATTLE
Fall to Show Superiority over Amer
lean Breeds-Records at Pail
Show Excellence.

we notice a systematic effort on tho
part OF Importers of cattle from the
island OF Jersey and Guernsey to un.
nuly magnify the excellency of island
Ored cows and sires. The average
reader VIII be led to think that Ameri-
can bred cattle of these breeds are in
lerlor TO the island stock, when. in
reality, none of the island bred cows
'ol either breed have made such rec
ords at the pail as have their Ameri-
can bred sisters.
IL Is about time that 1t was clearly
understood that so far as the island
breeders are concerned, the real repu-
tation for their breeds by actual per-
torrance has been made for them by
American breeders Milk and butter
TAT records, not show ring talk, is what
tells the story OF excellence. says
Hoard's Dairyman. On that score the
American breeders have reason to be
proud of their work.
The island breeders have been very
Indifferent about keeping we'll authen-
ticated records at the pail, and the
system of advanced registry is practi-
cally unknown among them. But one
imported Guernsey bull has yet made a
distinguished record in advanced reg
istry as against the best of our home
bred bulls.
We are not so familiar with the Jer-
sey records, but we do not believe the
American breeders of these cattle
have yet any reason to give way be-
.ore the prestige of the island type.
Facts, we'll proved facts in perform
ance, not fads, should hold our atten-
ton in dairy cattle breeding. The i'm.
porting business is all we'll enough
but we have no special need yet to &c
abroad for the very best specimens OF
the Jersey or Guernsey breeds.
Holstein breeders long ago observed
that their American bred cattle did not
need any infusion Of imported blood to
enhance their value to the dairy farm
er and In this respect, as in some
others. have exhibited commendable
wisdom.

All-Purpose Brood Mares.

One of the greatest drawbacks in
the all-purpose mares is the sudden
changes to which they are expected to
work, says the Stallion and Jack Jour
nal. One day they will pillow, the next
day they are used for carriage, then
perhaps, in the most disastrous of all
things connected with horse breeding,
used in the saddle. Mares that the
boys ride to town at night are not
very liable to be producers. 1t is not
always the amount of exertion, but
fast riding to town, followed by be-
ing tied out to the hitch rack several
hours and allowed to chill This works
the mischief. Not ten per cent. of
the mares used in this way will pro-
duce foals.
Those who expect to raise horses
should remember that there are sew
eral things which can be used to ad-
vantage that do not cost anything
These are kindness, fresh air and
sunshine.

Salt for Cows.

Cows require from one to eight
ounces of salt per day. The more con-

Wisconsin station. about two ounces
per COW per day is the average amount
required.

The University is seeking. we believe,
to articulate its work more closely
with the work of our secondary

in its power TO keep the educational
standards high The University must
help in settling the standard of the
High school; 1t must carefully follow

sirable schools; it must act fairly and
honestly with It's sister institutions
with the belief always uppermost that
what benefits one college benefits all.

too important to have their interests
jeopardized by a hasty act that can
lead, unless properly safe-guarded, to

scene of quiet wedding last Thurs
day evening, when Miss Helen Nc
Intlre Weston, the only daughter of
the household, was married to Ernest
r. Hutchinson of Portland. The
single ring service was used and the
officiating clergyman was Rev. Geo.
Merriam of the Bethany Baptist
church. The witnesses were the i'm
mediate relatives and few chosen
friends, and the couple were unattend-
ed The brides gown was dainty
creation of crepe de chene over white
silk. A wedding lunch followed the
nuptials and the wedding gifts in
cluded silver, cut glass and old ivory
ware.
Mr. Hutchinson, who is the son of
Mrs. Isabel Hutchinson of Portland,
is an agent in the employ of the
American Express Co. At one time
he acted as substitute in the Skowhe-
gan office of the company, and 1t was
at that time that the acquaintance of
this young couple was begun. Mrs.
Hutchinson has many friends in this
town. She was graduated from the
Skowhegan High school in the class
