room, engine or machine room and
the two stables are covered with drop
siding; the cribs are covered with
1x3-inch stuff. The gable not shown
has two windows for lighting the Sec
ond floor. The roof is covered with
the best grade Of composition roof
ing, and all exposed woodwork re-
ceives two coats Of paint. The roof

Bile, the building rests on 10-inch salt
glazed tile filled with concrete; three
fourths-inch bolts are imbedded In
the concrete and the stills are bolted
to same. On account of the rats the
steps are built some lower than that
stills and about eight inches away
from same. The size of this build
ing may, of course, be changed to suit
your requirements, but it will be a
wise idea before building same to
submit pencil sketch to the manu-
facturers of the elevator, dump, ETC.,
as they are always willing and anx-
ious to furnish prospective purchasers
with blue prints or drawings showing
how the building should be arranged;
and by so doing you will possibly
save some trouble and avoid useless
expense.

Temperature MOST
IMPORTANT ESSENTIAL
Conditions Existing in Wheat
Growing in U. S. and Eu-
rope Differ.

(By II. ]. DUNLAP, Cologne, Germany
OF late years many writer's in com.
pairing the results of raising wheat in
the United States and various Euro
pean countries seemingly jump to the
conclusion that the difference in yield
is wholly caused by the neglect OF the
American farmer to fertilize properly
and cultivate his land To a certain
extent this is true. but 1t does not
account for all the difference. In the
United States the wide range OF tenn
perature, not only in summer, but in
winter as well, has much to do with
the crop. The extremes in winter
freeze the plant in the winter wheat
regions and the heat and drought in
summer in the northwest spring wheat
country ruin or shrink that crop.
In Europe the conditions are en-.
urely different. In England, France,
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Nor.
way the climate is not subject to such
extremes Of cold in winter. In the
four first named countries the tenn
perature seldom goes below zero (Fah-
renheit, while in summer the TEN.
perature does not often go above IS
degrees. There Is seldom any upcer.
tainty about the moisture either in
TALL or spring, for it rains nearly every
day more or less so that the growing
plant Is not frozen out or burned up.
Given the same conditions in the
United States grain growing districts
and with the present system of cult
walton continued the United States
would be able to supply all the wheat
needs Of the whole world. The wheat
crop Of Illinois this year is an example
of what the weather will do to crop
that started under favorable condi.
tons and which, If 1t had not been for
the cold winter, would have been a
record breaker.
Another feature In raising grain in
the European countries mentioned ia
the awkward and expensive way OF
harvesting and handling-a
method which. If followed in the
United States, would make wheat cost
at least $1.50 bushel. The amount
OF hand labor bestowed on a fiye-acre
field Of wheat in Germany would. II
applied to our fields, bankrupt the
farmer. Here the work is all done. or
at least a majority Of 1t Is done, by
women and cows and the harvesting
is done with sickle, as 1t was In
Abrahams time, or with a scythe.
Cradles are unknown and harvesters
used only on the larger farms, which
are the exception.

Food for Hous,

Pigs, and, in fact, all hogs, should
have ready access at all times to salt
and ashes. Charred corn cobs are al.
ways excellent.
The reason why hogs so eagerly de-
your coal ashes, rotted wood and
such material. Is because they do not
have, while in close confinement, the
material their system demands At
large they root such material from
the ground
The farmer who grows liberal sup
ply of roots for his hogs seldom has
much trouble from the ordinary dis
eases to which swine are subject.

GROWING RHUBARB IN
VERY COLD WEATHER.
Plant Can Easily be Forced in
Cellar During Winter
Months

Rnubarb can be easily forced In the
farmhouse cellar in winter and the
stalks had six weeks to two months
earlier than usual.
For this purpose rhubarb roots
should be dug late in the fall and al
lowed to freeze. They should then be
removed to frost proof cellar and
buried three or four inches deep in
moist sand.
After they have been slightly frozen
they may be set in root cellar. or
any building which Is heated, packed
close together, and covered with very
rich soil. 1t Is best to cover the
crowns from four to six inches.
Care should be taken not to over
water the plants. Rhubarb may also
be forced in unheated buildings, pro-
vided they are covered with glass, par
ticularly In the warmer climates.
Rhubarb, forced in this way, does
not develop very large leaves. and the
stalk is very much sweeter than that
grown out of doors.
1t is also blanched, and if the
proper care is taken, 1t may be pro-
duced almost white, and very tender
and palatable. Sometimes, when
grown in the dark, the stalk produced
is dark cherry red, and presents a
most attractive appearance on the
market.
Light is not essential to the growth
Of rhubarb. In fact, experiments show
that the plants kept In the cellar grow
better in darkness than in light. 1t is
very essential, however, that the
plants should not be frozen.
If the room occupied by the roots
is small. a lighted lantern kept near
them will give out heat enough to con-
'siderably hasten their growth.
Rhubarb is also forced to consid-
cradle extent for market In special
house, cold frames and under the
benches of greenhouses.
For outdoor growing rhubarb is
generally propagated by division of
the fleshy roots. Pieces of roots are
set in mellow soil in rows five feet
apart and about three feet apart in
the row. The root pieces should be
set with the crowns about four inches
below the surface of the soil. The
ground should be kept well cultivated
the first season and stalks may be
pulled the following spring.
Rhubarb is also grown from seed,
but varieties true to name can only be
grown from roots. Eight to twelve
plants of rhubarb will supply large
family.
