poles may be put cross-wise and straw

should be piled higher in the middle

How to Figure Costs in Feeding Live
Stock.
The grain and other feeds grown on
the farm where they are fed should be
charged to stock at the market value
at the farm, which Is the price at the
elevator, minus the cost of hauling.
This is the result of seven years ex-
%perience in studying farm cost ac-
counting problems In the section OF
farm economics of the department Of
agriculture.
The object of cost accounting is to
show an analysis of the entire farm
business; and the relative profitable
ness of each enterprise, as well as the
relative costs, should be made : clear.
If the farmer is to learn the truth
about the cost of his corn, oats, hay
and other feedable products, he must
do considerable figuring and have a
good understanding Of farm cost ac-
counting methods. On the other hand.
the market values of grains and other
feedable products serve as a common
standard from which any farmer may
easily figure the cost of feeding them
to live stock. The market price at
the farm is the only logical, as well as
the easiest, method to follow. If live
stock are essential for profitable farm
ing in so many sections, why should
the live stock enthusiasts figure to
eliminate the profits of crop growing,
so that the live stock may appear
more profitable?
Weed Growth and Corn Yields.
OF the various factors that influence
orn yields there are some that re-
ceive more than their share of atten-
ton, and some to which sufficient en-
phasis has not been given. Important
as is the type of soil, the weather, fer
tilizer treatment, variety, condition of
the seed, insect and fungus troubles,
preparation of the seed bed, and sub
sequent tillage, it would seem that
under conditions anywhere near nor
NAL there are two other factors that
exert a great deal more influence on
yields than any of those named above.
These are the organic matter content
Of the soil and the amount of weed
growth.
The significance of these two fac
tors cannot be emphasized too strong
ly. AS illustrative of the Importance
of organic matter may be cited the

The accompany cut, showing a port
able A-shaped hog house, with chain
and singletree for hauling, can be
built very easily and cheaply, states
farmers bulletin $50. 1t is construct
ed Of l by IL inch plank. with cracks
covered with batten. 1t is open in
front and should be placed facing the
south. The floor is s feet wide and 6
feet from front to back, and is nailed
to three runners or skids. The skids
may be made of lumber or poles about
s inches in diameter and fiattened on
n side, to which the floor is nailed.
A large hole "a be bored through the
front end of the outer skids so that a
chain a be fastened to- them to ia
cilitate moving the house by the use
of a team. A piece of 2 by 4 inch
material Is nailed on the outer edges
of the top of floor to prevent the
house from spreading at the bottom.
Each side of the house is made of
six pieces of 1 by IL inch plank s feet
long, nailed to a piece of 2 by 4 lying
nat about 9 inches from the top of the
plank, another about 3h feet from
the top, and a piece of 2 by 8 nailed
edgewise about IL inches from the
bottom. This should be braced at each
end of the underside by a right-angle
block of 2 by s inch material nailed to
the rail and to the side of the house.
The long piece Of 2 by 8 will act as a
guard under which the young pigs
may take shelter when the SOW lies
down. This will save many pigs from
being crushed to death.
The back Of the house fits between
the two sides in a groove made by
mailing two pieces Of l by 1h-inch ma
terial Iengthwise on the inner side of
each side of the house. The house is
then set up" on the floor and the
sides held together by mailing a short
piece of l by 6-inch plank across the
front and back of the house about
one and one-half feet below the top.
This will prevent it from being blown
down by the wind or a storm. A sad
die board made by mailing two pieces
of l by 6-inch plank together can then
be put ove the ridge of the house to
keep out rain.
A house built thus can be moved on
the skids or a be taken down by re-
moving the l by 6-inch brace from the
front and the back of the house. If

where there is danger of heavy winds,
a guy wire should be securely fast

ground. This is a precaution which
will justify the trouble required, as it

practices of a Georgia farmer. This
farmer has a two-year rotation of cot
ton and corn, 10 acres OF each every
year. For each crop a stand Of bur
clover is turned under. A. strip be-
tween the cotton rows is left unbro-
ken until the bur clover seed natures.
The corn crop is planted without
blowing. The rows are run out with a
middle buster, the seed dropped by
hand, and covered with a double
shovel. About three weeks later.
when the bur clover has entirey COW
cred the corn row, the first cultivation
is given by blowing under the clover
with a turning plow. The next cult
walton is with a hvc-shovel surface cul-
t~ivator. just before the third and
last cultivation the land is broadcast
ed to cowpeas and sorghum for hay.
The land is never plowed, or cult
waited to a greater depth than three
inches. Crude as these tillage prac-
tees may seem, they accomplish the
two-fold purpose of turning under
large amounts Of organic matter and
keeping down weed growth. Under
this system the yield of cotton has
been increased from one-third OF a
bale per acre to one and one and a
half bales, and the yield of O has
been built up in like proportion.
The second great factor-weed
growth-hardly needs any discussion.
Nearly everybody has seen thousands
of acres Of high weeds and low crops.
1t was at one time preached by u
best known agriculturists that weeds
were a good thing because they
spurred the lazy husbandman on to
greater activity In his tillage opera
tions; in other words tillage was the
desired end, the eradication Of weeds
being merely incidental. In our recent
work on corn cultivation 1t has been
clearly shown that in the main weeds
are the arch enemy that makes inter-
cultural tillage necessary.

"take-down" feature, and by securely
mailing 1t will not need the guy wire.
Some dirt may be thrown up at the
front Of the house to the level Of the
floor SO that young pigs may enter
without trouble. The material neces-
sary to build this house is as follows:
Thirteen pieces / by Pinch by Is
feet for sides, back and floor Of house.
Nine pieces 16-feet barten.
Three pieces 2 by 4-inch by IL feet
for framework.
Two pieces 2 by S-inch by IL feet for
pig rail or guard.
One piece l by 6-inch by 16 feet for
saddle board.
Three poles for skids.
Nails.
Total, 272 board feet of lumber, IA
linear feet of batten. three poles and
the nails. AS rough lumber suitable
for the construction of such a house
can usually be secured for about $12
per 1000 in the south, the material
will cost about five dollars. This type
of house is suitable for practically all
parts of the south, as no extremely
cold weather is experienced and the
open front permits sunshine to enter
the house for several hours each day.
In case a boy cannot obtain material
to build such a house as has just been
described, he should get whatever ma
terial is available on the farm and
build a shelter for his hogs. 1t can
be made out of waste planks. for any
shelter that will protect the hogs
from cold winds and rain and give
them a dry bed, at the same time per
hitting the sun to shine In during a
portion OF the day, will be quite an i'm
provement over conditions existing on
SO many farms az present.
A shelter to be used during the sum
mer months may be made by setting

Surely Must Be Conceded That Con-

to Be Finicky.

He wasn't even satisfied when they
tried him for murder and sentenced
him to be hanged. He grumbled about

his execution he grumbled about the

He grumbled when they led him
forth about the distance he had to
walk between his cell and the scaffold,
and he said be was sure it was going
