CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
Used For Barns, Siios, Henhouses.
Bridges and Cellars.

Used For Barns, Silos, Henhouses,
Bridges and Cellars.
Not long ago the farmer hardly knew
what concrete was. Now he builds
barns, SiloS. henhouses. bridges and
cellars of it.
Where some years ago the farmer
used a pile of old boards. saw and
hammer to build his hen coop. his gate
post and his water trough. he usually
now takes part of a bag of cement.
mixes it with sand and gravel and
adapts concrete to his purposes
Today he has many appliances about
the farm that are neat, that are SAINT
tary and that last forever This change
started with silos and fence posts, and
there is no end to the uses to which
the handy man about the house can
put the versatile machine. Out on a
farm in Illinois, where an acetyline
generator supplies gaslight to the farm
house. one man built sort of cyclone
cellar for the plant. Owing to the
danger Of explosions. the ordinary eau
tious citizen no longer cares to put a
gas plant in the basement of his resi-
dence, but if this generator should ex-
plode it probably would not even shat
ter the walls of the little concrete
house that contains it.
Fresh water is supplied to the chick
ems on another farm with the aid of a
concrete pool. 1t is long and wide and

same flock Of fortunate chickens has a
solid concrete house Of two rooms: one
room has concrete floor and perches
for the convenience Of its occupants.
and the other room has floor of earth.
where the chickens can scratch about
in the winter time. The roosting room.
with the concrete floor, can be flushed
out and kept perfectly sanitary, the
water running from it to waste out
let at one side.
When it comes to drainage on the
farm concrete steps in and helps out
the farmer. Culverts are now being
made in sections so that. after the ex-
cayation is made and solid concrete
foundation put in the sides and the
arch can be added later.
The silo, the first appliance to adapt
itself to concrete, has grown enormous
ly in size One of the biggest of them
is sixty-two feet high and has walls
that are eight inches thick. 1t will
hold enough ensilaSe to fatten five car
loads of beef cattle. 1t only took
month to built it and its total cost was
but $500. This is the latest type OF
silo. built tail, and with small diam
eter. because in this way the room is
used more economically. The
smaller the diameter the less waste
there is in proportion.

BEES ON THE FARM.

The hum of the busy little honeybee
should be heard on every farm. A
moderate amount of care given to
these industrious workers will help out
considerably in these days of the high
cost of living by providing il supply
of the most delicious and healthful Of
all sweets for the table 1t is especial
ly good for cooking purposes and is
far superior to any other sweet for
the little folks.
1t is not necessary to so into extern
sive Bookkeeping in order to have honey
for the home. half dozen colonies
when properly cared for will give the
average family all that it can use and
possibly some to sell.
OF course if the farmer cared to do
so he could easily keep a larger num-
Der of colonies and add to his income
by their work Quite often the wo-
men of the farm attend to the bees
and buy relief from the drudgery of
farm life through the aid of these little
insects.
In days gone by most of the bees kept
on farms were to be found in hollow
logs. commonly known as bee gums. ;"
or else in tight boxes with a few sticks
nailed across on the inside. to which
the bees attached their combs.
The favorite method of removing the
honey or .-robbing the bees. us it was
called. was to smother them By plac-
ing the hive over pit in which brim-
stone was burning. Then the honey
could be taken out. but would be
necessary to get more bees next year.
However. this cruel method has pass
ed away. and now almost every bee
keeper uses hives with movable frames.
and the honey can he removed without
9illing single bee

editor is inclined to the belief that the

guide as to the time of cutting than is
the bloom. If the crop is allowed to
stand until considerable lroportion
of the plants are in bloom the grower
will note that the sprouts which are
to produce the succeeding crop become
dwarfed and will not produce as much
hay as if the crop had been removed
and the crown shoots been allowed to
grow without interruption. 1t is our
belief, therefore, that the largest yield

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA.
Best Hay Obtained When First Blooms

Sest Hay Obtained When First Blooms

II has for years been considered that
alfalfa for hay should lie cut when
about one-half of the plants are ia
bloom. says the Kansas Farmer. Dur
lug recent years the best alfalfa grow

such growers are strongly inclined to
the belief that the lest hay is at this
Time obtained and also that cutting at
such time is best for the succeeding
crop. There are two considerations i'll

frst is that of obtaining hay of the
highest feeding quality and the other
that of cutting ut such times as will
result in the largest annual yield
IL the crop is allowed to stand until
1t is in full bloom the stems become
woody and considerable proportion
of the leaves are lost in the harvest.
1t would seem. therefore. that from
the standpoint of hay quality the cut
ting reached as near maturity as pos
sible. but before such time as will re-
suit in woody stems and leaf loss.
Every alfalfa grower has observed
that just in advance Of blooming the

During the Hot Summer Season Horses
Should Have Plenty to Drink.
In these hot summer days men new
er think of going to their work without
taking a-plenty of drinking water. And
they have very little to fear from heat
so long as they perspire freely and by
drinking often keep up Precipitation.
But while providing for their own
comfort and necessity very few ever
give thought to the fact that their
horses when working in the hot sun
perspire as copiously. and even more
so, than the driver and need water
fully as much. 1t is but very little
trouble to have barrel or tank on
a log boat or sled. and when going to
the field take it along with Il pail in it,
and two or three times in half day
give each horse a drink. In fact, the
the driver He will appreciate it fully
as much. This is but very little trou-
BILE. as the water can be drawn along
the headland. and when stopping to
rest the collars should be raised from
the shoulders and the horse given a
sip of water. When this is done when
the team is put into the stable at noon
they are ready TO be grain fed. and
the trouble of taking ont TO water aft

The team very quickly will learn to

WORLDS POULTRY CON-
GRESS.

The poultry industry is rapidly
perfecting its organizations and
assuming the. proportions of one
of our greatest international in
dustries. The call for the first
worlds poultry congress. to be
held at The Hague in 1916, has
been received with almost unan-
imously enthusiastic approval
The location of this conference
is not so much out of the way as
might appear to those who are
unfamiliar with the Dutch poul-
try industry. OF late years great
improvements have been made
in that country. and some prob
lens of worldwide interest are
being worked out. In some re-
spects the keeping of fowls is
very highly developed there. and
Holland comes near being the
geographical center of the Euro
pean poultry industry All sides
of the business will be treated at
the congress-breeding. produc-
ton, hygiene. research and COM
merce in poultry products.
The recent growth of interest
in European bred fowls due to
the winnings of English hens in
American laying contests has inn
pressed American poultrymen
with the fact that we have some
thing to learn from England.

A CAPABLE OFFICIAL
REELECTED.

Efficiency was recognized and a
conscientious and capable official re
tanned in office when the police jury
at it's meeting Wednesday reelected
i Caleb C.. Weber to- The position OF
Iparish treasurer and ex.officio clerk
of the jury Mr. Weber's services in
this capacity during the past several
years have been exceptionally salts
| factory, viewed from whatever stand
point, and it is to be doubted if any
Zone better qualified or more atten-
tive to the dufes OF the office could
be secured to serve the parish in
this most responsible position.
Not only has Mr.. Weber performed
the routine work incumbent upon
him with marked diligence and
ability, but he has freely given the
police jury the benefit of his legal
learning and advice, and in this
direction particularly has rendered
services to the parish that have
proved of great value and Influence.
This was emphasized in connection
with the movement to construct Per
manent hard-surfaced highways in
certain sections Of the parish, the
mass of legal work appertaining to
the creation of he First Road Dis
trict, the holding of an election there
In to vote the necessary taxes, the
flotation of the bond issue. and
the numerous other matters requisite
to the successful carrying out of the
project in view, all having been done
by Mr. Weber in a most thorough
and accurate manner, absolutely
without cost to the parish. Legal
services such as gratuitously given
by him in this instance, if charged
for at the usual rates, would doubt
less have required an expenditure in
excess of Mr.. Weber's salary for an
entire year.
The reelection of Mr.. Weber is a
merlted tribute to a most jealous and
public-spirited official, and both the
police jury and the taxpayers of the
parish are to be congratulated upon
his retention in office.
