down and continued around the circle
ending with the nilage cart ut chute

The same 10 true IN feeding hay and
grain.
Another great advantage In the
large, unobstrueted haymow. With
the sef-supporting roof there are no
ttmbers whatever obstructing the
NOW. which means no dragging of
hay around or owe posts or Orders.
The hay carrier runs on a circular
track around the NOW, midway be-
tween the silo and the outside wall
and drops the bay at any desired
point, which means the saving of
much labor.
The circular construction Is the
strongest because 1t takes advantage
Of the lineal instead of the breaking
strength Of the lumber. Each row of
boards running around the barn forms
a hoop that holds the barn together.
Any piece Of timber Is many times
stronger on a lineal pull than on q
breaking stress.

are circular, as both the sides and

Although the average annual pro,
duetion Of tobacco in the United
| States reaches nearly one billion
pounds, for which the farmer receives
about 500, 600, 900, the net profit to
the farmer is much smaller than 1t
should be. Among the principal
causes for small profits from such an
important crop are failure to follow
sound cultural methods, use OF UNI
adapted varieties or strains, damage
by insects and diseases, and imper.
feet knowledge of the principles that
apply to the processes of curing, fer
menting and handling the leaf. To
remedy these conditions the Depart

investigate the improvement of to-
