1t is profitable to have everything
as near right as possible in raising
chicks, as the number saved and ex-
ira growth will pay all extra cost
necessary to give them the proper
care and protection.
Air-slacked lime scattered about
the houses and yards is a splendid
disinfectant, and will help to keep it
sweet and clean and the flock
healthy.
One of the most important points
in chicken growing is to keep them
growing. Every condition must be
at its best and you must keep them
so.

ship or unit system of schools some
surprises may be in store for the fruit
growing sections. What is to hinder
laying out experimental grounds,
where small plats of strawberries,
raspberries, currants, gooseberries,
and even ounces and dwarf varieties
of apples and pears may be tested
under proper soil and cultural condi-
tions. Certainly in sections where
there are no experimental stations
the public school is the logical place
to test and introduce varieties suited
to the vicinity. This sounds like a
dream, but you have only to arouse
the community spirit, in your section
to get what true progress demands.
Speaking of school houses, we hope
all country school teachers reading
this will endeavor this spring to have
some shrubs and trees planted in
clumps around the school yard. Do
this the last of April before the buds
start. Scholars will always be glad
to assist in this work of improving
the grounds. Shrubs should be placed
in clumps four or five feet apart and
the trees fifteen to eighteen feet.

Market your own product, was the
keynote of the last State Horticul-
tural meeting. This means higher
prices for the producer and lower
prices for the consumer. Besides your
own gain, there is nothing in the
whole field of economics which needs
solution worse than that of relieving
the stress and strain of the wage
Garner and salaried man of the cities.
These are the ones who have reached
the end of the rope in trying to live
within their incomes. Give them re-
lief and you can pose as the greatest
philanthropist of your day.
In cutting out the middlemen you
must know the following facts, say in
potatoes: A price of 80 cents per
bushel, sacked and on cars here,
means 65 cents to the commission man
in Chicago. This means a price of rs
cents to the grocer in that city and 85
cents in the suburbs. Then the sub
urban grocer sells to the consumer at
S1.10 to $1.25 per pushed. By open
ing a store in the city and selling
this consumer direct the farmer gets
the long price, and can afford to sell
as low as 80 cents to 81.
The home orchard ought to get
more attention from fruit writer's. We
inspected one of these recently con-
tanning about one hundred trees. The
farmer admitted they were good win
ter varieties such as Grimes Golden,
Spy and Wagner, but said he could
not spare the time from general farm
work to do the necessary pruning,
spraying and cultivating. AS result
this particular orchard was given
over to scab, caterpillars and every
known pest. 1t took a careful search
to find an eatable apple. He does not
care to market his fruit as a general
thing, and then only some fall when

The Dairy Farm

be located at a distance from the
house to compare with its condition.
The stable built all above ground
is the one generally recommended by
practical dairymen. 1t should have as
good a foundation as you would put
under YOUR house. Many good
building has been ruined by being
placed on a poor foundation. Whether
the barn is to be one or two stories
is also a matter of choice, the barn
of two or more stories being more
preferable on account of warmth for
the cold weather. Ten feet is a good
height for the cow stable. This
affords plenty Of air space and a
higher ceiling is unnecessary.
The question of ventilation is all
important. The King system is very
satisfactory and can be highly recon-
mended 1t consists of air flues in the
outer walls Of the building, opening
near the floor, or at the stills on the
outside and extending upward as high
as the stable ceiling and there open
ing into the stable. These fiues
should have slide by which the
amount of air let into the barn can
be controlled, as in case Of strong
wind too much cold air may otherwise
find its way into the stable. The
impure air is taken out by flues which
extend from near the floor of the
stable to the highest point of the
stable.
The reader who is contemplating
building a stable can very proftably
spend few days visiting some of the
best farmers in the vicinity for the
purpose Of studying the location and
construction of their stables.

Perhaps there are those of our
readers who contemplate building a
barn. What may be offered in the
line of general suggestions for the
building of barn for mich cows will
apply equally as well to the barn
calculated for the use of all the ami
mails on the farm.
One of the most important points
to keep in mind is drainage. The
cow stable should be located where
the drainage is best. Don't hunt out
the lowest spot on the farm to erect
the barn. On some farms the location
of the barn tempts one to believe that
the builder did this very thing. The
drainage should also be away from
and not towards the house or well.
Some farmers are so careless about
the drainage of their yards about the
stable that the animals must stand in
mire up to their knees. The writer
once visited a farm where the cows
were standing in the mire up to their
knees and the yard was located on
steep side hill. The manure had been
allowed to accumulate at the lower
side of the yard until it formed a dam
thus obstructing the drainage. 1t was
an awful mess to expect a mich COW
to go through on her way to and from
the barn. OF course this was not the
fault of the barns location, but serves
to clearly demonstrate how extremely
careless some men will be about the
drainage of their barns and yards.
The distance of the barn from the
house is a matter of choice. A really
sanitary COW barn may be very close
to the house without being offensive
! in the least. The other kind should

In wet soil the roots grow near
the surface and are left without
water supply during drought.
idly, the soil warns up sooner, and
the seed-bed can be worked into prop
er form many days before the land
drained by open bitches can be
touched at all. Open bitches are an
expensive nuisance that interfere
with every operation connected with
crop production. Unless constant eff
fort is made to keep them dug out
they are not operative when most
needed.
The fact that deep drainage pre-
pares the soil for healthy growth
Of roots is even more important than
the removal of the excess of surface
water in the spring. Roots, as well
as all plant tissues, require air,
warmth, moisture in order to live and
grow. The part Of the soil which con-
tains these things in the proper
amounts will induce most rapid
growth and soon become permeated
with an interlacing system of root
lets. Unless soil is naturally under
drained by a porous subsoil, or arti-
ficially by tile, the lower strata will

LIVESTOCK INCREASES
ON NATIONAL FORESTS.

-
Figures showing the number of
livestock for which the secretary Of
agriculture has authorized grazing
permits for the ranges on the 160
national forests during the year 1914
have just been made public. Nearly
IL million animals can be grazed,
including nearly million head of
cattle and horses, nearly million
head of sheep and goats, and about
65 thousand hogs. This means an
increase for the current year of about
38 thousand more cattle and horses,
and BAT thousand more sheep and
goats, although the gross area of the
national forests at the beginning Of
1914 is almost a million acres less
than at the beginning of 1913.
During 1913, according to the re-
ports just compiled, more than q
thousand stockmen paid the govern
ment for grazing permits on the ma

AIIies Reinforced.
The left wing Of the allies has been re-
inforced, a fact which may be due in
part to efforts to offset the constant
tide of fresh German troops and in part
to make good the decreased activity of
the British fleet which. according to
German advices, has been forced 20
withdraw further from the coast because
Of the German artillery. No German
ships. aside from submarines, have been
reported in this vicinity. The tone OF all
articles in the London press seems 40
be that the appearance Of German war
ships would be welcomed as presaging
that sea battle for which the Britons long
have been hoping.
Germany has a number Of small cruis-
ers at wilhelmhaven. together with a
detachment of dcstroyers. and the sudden
appearance OF some OF these ships would
be no surprise.

peror William has demanded unequlvo-

GERMANS CAN HOLD

Along Aisne.
EASILY HOLD THEIR GROUND
French Have Been Unable 20 Push

LONDON. oct. 27.-The correspondent
of the Morning Post. writing from a point
near Rheims, under date of Saturday, and
discussing the situation in the eastern
part Of the Aisne valley. says:
1T is possible that the Germans intend
20 hold this line all winter and II they
fortify their positions it Is quite possible
that they can do SO. II Is certain that
they can make no further move into
French territory.
Around Rheims there is now only one
point where the Germans have heavy ar
tlllery and this consists of only one big
gun and twenty pieces of smaller field
artillery These are all Austrian. This
artillery is located near Berru, some dis
lance from the city. which. however. is
well within the range of the big gun.
This gun is a rapidly moving piece. pulled
by a motor tractor and contents itself
with a shot or two daily.
The German infantry lines. however,
are much further advanced The German
trenches at Betheneny run in a long un-
broken line around to the right by Cernay
At no point are the French trenches more
than a few hundred yards away.
Germans Maintain Ground.

the French captured Rheims. There il

ground between the trenches is thickly
covered with berbed wire ENGAGEMENTS,

are beginning to be skeptioal as TO these
