QUEER FREAKS OF WIRELESS
Failure to Operate on Account Of At
mospheric Conditions Has Been
Source Of Annoyance.

Wireless telegraphy has many appar-
emily mysterious qualities for which
scientists have been unable satisfactor-
lily to account to the layman. Failure
to operate on account Of the condi-
tions of the atmosphere has been the
chief source of annoyance. Another
fault, which has recently been rem
edied, is in the absence Of secrecy in
transmitting messages.
Lightning and other electrical dis.
turbances have also caused some in
convenience, but in the event of
storm the apparatus is now usually
grounded in order to prevent injury. 1t
is reported that lightning will serious
ly injure, If not entirely destroy. in
struments, even though 1t might strike
at point five or ten miles distant.
Why the wireless has worked better
at night or in cold weather rather than
hot, why transmission is better on the
Pacific ocean than on the Atlantic, or
why communication is better in one
direction rather than In another have
all been puzzling questions. These
elements of unreliability and disap-
pointment are now disappearing, how
ever. and the confidence of the public
has been won.

SKIN TORTURES WILL
YIELD TO RESINOL

If you have eczema, ringworm, or
other itching, burning, unsightly skin
eruptions, try resinol ointment and
resinol soap and see how quickly the
itching stops and the trouble disap-
pears, even in the severest, stubborn
est cases. Resinol ointment is also a
wonderful household remedy for pim-
pies, dandruff, sores, burns, wounds,
boils, piles, and for a score of other
uses where a soothing, healing appli-
cation is needed
Resinol contains nothing of harsh
or Injurious nature and can be used
with perfect safety on the tenderest
or most irritated surface. Every drug
gist sells resinol ointment (50c and
$1), and resinol soap (25c). Avoid
worthless limitations.

PLACE FOR HEN TO SCRATCH
Dat Straw Found to Be as Cheap as
Anything Else In Long Run--Buck-
wheat Ia Too Fattenlng.

There are number Of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch In, says
writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stun most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good II gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. l find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause 1t lasts quite while and fur
nishes some feed II fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material
Shredded or cut corn fodder does
very we'll II there is nothing else on
hand. | do not like any form Of
meadow grass or swale for scratching
material because 1t mats down toe
much when cut and not enough when
not cut.

RAPE PASTURE FOR THE HOGS
Very Rank Growth on One Acre May
Supply Feed for Twenty-Five Head
Seed In Spring.

(By DEAN MUMFoRn OF the Missouri
Experiment Station)
A good growth Of rape will supply
pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre
A very rank growth may supply feed
for rs head. Where the feeding Is
to extend from 10 to IA weeks 1t Is
advisable to pasture rape at the rate
of 10 to 70 head to the acre.
The favorable time for seeding rape
IA In the spring as soon as danger of
hard freezing is past. 1t Will furnish
pasture from the middle of May until
the third week in August. Rape VIII
withstand light frosts, but not hard
freezing. The best results are OBJ
tanned when oats and clover are sown
with it. Sow from Ave to seven pounds
OF rape ahead of the drill and then
drill In one-half bushel of oats and
six to ten pounds Of clover seed to
the acre. The rape and oats will serve
as a cover crop for the clover and
usually a good stand of clover will be
obtained that may be pastured with
hogs the following year.
II rape is not grazed too closely In
June and July, so that the stalk OF the
plant is eaten off, It may grow ur
and make fall pasture. 1t should never
be pastured 50 closely as to destroy
all leaves on the stalk, and stoci
should not he turned on until the
plants are from IA to is inches high
Complaint is sometimes made b,
feeders that scabs and cores form or
the ears and backs of the hogs OF
rape. The remedy is to move th'
hogs to another pasture for shor'
time and then dip them or apply sui
phur and lard to the sores.

NATURES WAY OF CLEANING
Electrically Driven Air Washes Are
Made Which Produce Artificial
Rain or Spray.

To initiate natures way Of cleaning
and cooling the atmosphere, electrical
ly driven air washes are made which
produce artificial rain or spray through
which the air is passed. In winter the
same apparatus is used to put the
needed moisture into dry air.
Within chamber numerous nozzles
are installed that divide the water
forced out Of them by motor driven
centrifugal pump into very fine spray
which In the air washer moves In the
same direction as the air, thus reduc-
ing the power necessary to handle the
water. From the top of the chamber,
also, additional nozzles spray water
downward through the air. After the
water has been used, 1t passes to the
bottom of the tank and is used again,
but not until 1t has passed through a

DOUBLING His Talents.

The Sunday school teacher was pos
sessed of the praiseworthy desire to
promote thrift among the class OF
lads. He had given Joe and Johnny
sixpence each for doing some work
for him.

the money to advantage"
The next time they met Joe pro-
duced two sixpences.
"Well done, my lad" said the de,
lighted teacher, Il am pleased to see
my lessons are having their fruit. But
what of your sixpence, johnny" said
he to the other hopeful.

be allowed The depth is indicated
as feet 6 inches, but this may be
varied according to the size of the
COWS in the herd. The manure gut
ter is IA inches wide and 6 inches
deep.
The entire floor is concrete, 6
inches in depth when finished. laid
over at least 6 inches Of cinders or
broken rock. Concrete is considered
the best material for several reasons:
(1) it is sanitary; (2) it Is economi-
cal because Of its durability; (3) when
reasonable amount Of bedding is
used 1t is comfortable to the animals
and no bad effects result. The floor
is intended to be raised about one
foot above the level Of the gorund to
insure drainage.
Alleys.
The alleys behind the cows are 4
feet wide. Manure should be taken
away from the barn daily and depos-
tied in manure shed or on the field,
and the alleys are designed with this
in view. 1t is undesirable, from the
standpoint Of construction and sani-
tation, to have manure pit under the
stable.
a Calf Pen.
A comfortable calf pen should be
provided, effectively separated from
the milking herd. The one shown Is
81 by IL feet. Individual stanchions
are provided for feeding calves grain
and milk.
Bull Pen and Box Stalls.
These are approximately 10 by 10
feet There is a full window In each
stall, providing an abundance OF
light.
Feed Room.
This is centrally located; two grain
chutes from the upper floor. A hay
chute from the loft above deposits the
hay conveniently to the feeding alley.
Watering.
watering devices may De put IN
the stable or provided for outside a.
the option Of the builder.
Storage Of Feed.
There is no objection to storage
above the COW stable proper 80 long
as the floor is similar in construction
to the one in the drawing. so as to
be kept perfectly tight.

In colder climates 1t Is deemed bet

in this respect.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The department Of agriculture as
the result of great demand for in
formation relating to the construction
Of dairy buildings started lire of In
vestigation through its dairy special
lists for the purpose Of developing the
basic principles of such construction.
In order to make the work thoroughly
practical, these studies were extended
to the planning and actual supervision
of construction of a number Of dairy
buildings In different sections of the
country. Few localities will require
or even permit of the same treatment
80 far as exposure, size, form, or
building material are considered, but
the problem of light, floors. ceilings.
ETC., are nearly alike in all cases.
Stable for "a Cows.
The plan shown is designed for "a
cows, and allows ample room for calf
pen and box stalls for bull and cows.
also space for feed room, hay chute,
wash room and silo. The amount of
space allowed for the various pur-
poses will meet the usual require
ments The arrangement of the
space can be adapted to the needs Of
the particular location.
Special Features Common to All Well
Planned Barns,
The width OF this barn is 81 feet 4
inches outside This allows ample
room for the stalls and passageways.
While the length here shown Is 70
feet 6 inches, this depends on the
number of cows to be handled. The
side wills are built of brick or con-
crete UP to the window sills, the bal
ance of the walls being frame. The
end walls are constructed of brick or
concrete up to the ceiling. A parti-
tion extends across the barn SO that
the COW stable can be entirely shut
off from the rest of the barn.
Windows.
One of the faulty points In ordinary
barn construction Is the small amount
Of window space usually allowed. This
plan provides approximately square
feet for each COW. 1t will be noted
from the elevation that the windows
are sliding sash extending to the cell
ing, making them nearly twice as
high as they are wide. This arrange
ment will admit much more light than
the same space il the windows were
placed otherwise.
Manger.
| The manger Is planned to be 2 feet
wide and inches deep, with slightly
rounded corners, the front sloping al
an angle of 45 degrees and the bot
tom being 2 inches higher than the
floor Of the stalls.
