CONCRETE HOUSE
FOR THE USE
OF THE DAIRY

A house for keeping milk cool in
the summer and storing fruit and veg
etables in the winter may be construct
ed out of concrete from floor to roof.
Make an excavation in the ground
four feet deep, the desired length and
breadth OF the building, says the
Iowa Homestead. Set two posts in the
ground at each corner, leaving a space
between them the thickness of the
walls. Inch boards foot wide should
be placed on the inside of the posts
next to the ground The first layer of
concrete, made of cement and coarse
gravel, can now be placed between
them. After this is done, put another
round of boards just above these and
put in another layer of concrete. Then
put another layer of boards and ce
ment and so on until the building is
up to the desired height. The door
frame can be set between the boards
at one end of the building when the
walls are built up to the level of top
of ground 1t can be made secure by
bolts extending from the door facing
into the concrete at sides. The roof
can be made an oval shape by circu-
lar rafters on the side walls. After
rafters are covered solidly with boards
a covering of cement may be put over
these, place for chimney being left
in center of roof. Leave rafters ant
sheeting to give strength to concrete
The floor should also be made of ce-
ment, sloping to one corner where .
ten-gallon jar may be set into the
ground to catch the water that may
get into the cellar. The doors OF
house should be double. one opening
inside and the other outside of house

NUTRITION
FOR ANIMALS
AND MAN

The fundamental principles OF nu-
triton are the same for man and ami
mails.
Feed is material which when taken
into the body either builds tissue or
yields heat and energy.
Feeds are classed roughly according
to these two uses.
If protein is neglected, growth is
limited or delayed, repair checked and
resistance to disease lessened.
An excessive amount of protein is
uneconomcal, both physically and
financially
Carbohydrate food gives bulk to the
diet and insures an economical use of
the protein.
Fat supplies heat and energy in a
more concentrated form than carbohy-
drates and prevents an excess of bulk.
The modern standard for ration
must meet all needs of the body, main
tain it is perfect health and at the
highest level of efficiency.
An economical ration provides for
all these needs at the least cost.
In a scientific ration the measure Of
the food fits the measure of the body.
The measure of the food is its nutri-
tive value Expressed as protein fat,
carbohydrates, etc.
The measure of the body is its size,
its rate of growth and the work it per-
forms.
The nutritive value is the only com
parative gauge of the real money value
of the foods.
Protein foods are more expensive
than others in all the markets of the
world.
Fresh vegetables, fruits, greens, etc,
are worth more than dried foods.
All foods should be fresh, sound and
clean.
Food should be purchased under
pure-food guarantees.-By NJ f. FAT
ia, Professor of Nutrition, University
of California.

SOME GOOD
ADVICE ABOUT
HANDLING LIME

To slack lime for whitewashing pur-
poses, very strong barrel should be
used to hold the fluid. A tight cracker
barrel sometimes will answer the pur-
pose, the idea is to not let the water
run out
AS fresh lime will always slack in
from two to ten minutes, it is only
necessary TO slack small amount at
a time as it can better be handled by
single individual this way.
For whitewashing, never try to slack
fine or air-slacked lime. Always pick
large, light weight pieces for those are
well burnt and always make the very
whitest of whitewash
When once you drop the lime into
the water, never stir it, let it alone
until it stops boiling-this is an indi-
cation that it is almost Stacked and you
then can add the required water to it
to thin it and make it into whitewash.
If the lime is disturbed in the least
while it is Stacking, it will become of
a reddish brown color, full of grains or
Jumps and unfit for use in any form
except as a fertilizer.
In Stacking lime always put your
lime into the water, never put the
water on the lime as in this way you
are apt to burn it.
Have at least three inches of water
above the lime when Stacking a small
quantity, say, about a bucketful.
A handful of common salt added to
each pail of whitewash will have a
tendency to harden it and make it
stick to the article that you apply it
to and it will not rub off easily
Whitewash may be colored any way
wished by adding to it some of the
tints of any of the commercial dyes
and in this way it may be made to re-
semble paint and look beautiful
Many times small quantity of
lime is needed and it can be Stacked
in bucket; in this case, lump of
lime as large as large orange will
make more than a pail of whitewash,
and to insure a good job of Stacking,
the pail should be first filled half full
of water and the lump of lime dropped
into it, Let it slack this way.
In consistency it should not be very
much thicker than ordiary skinned
milk-Wm B. Stone, San Jose, Cal.

KEEP DAILY RECORD
OF TEMPERATURE
OF INCUBATOR

The cause of poor matches with an
incubator is much discussed ques-
ton, which depends on a great vari-
ETY. of circumstances. A poor hatch is
more apt to be due to the conditions of
the eggs previous to Matching than to
incubation, although improper hand
ling of either factor will produce the
same results.
When eggs fail to hatch, see wheth-
er the breeding stock is kept under
conditions which tend to produce
strong, fertile germs in the eggs, if
the eggs have been handled properly
before incubation, and whether the
conditions were right during incuba
ton as judged by the time of the
hatch.

DRY FARMER MUST
REMEMBER THAT SUCCESS
DEPENDS ON MULCH

So vitality important is permanent
soil mulch for the conservation for
plant use OF the water stored in the
soil that many attempts have been
made to devise means for the effective
cultivation of land on which small
grains and grasses are growing. In
many places plants have been grown
in rows so far apart that man with
a hoe could pass between them. SEQ
field has described this method as
practiced successfully in Tunis. Camp
bell and others in America have pro-
posed that a drill hole be closed every
three feet to form path wide enough
for a horse to travel in and to pull Il
large spring tooth cultivator with
teeth so spaced as to strike between
the rows of wheat 1t is yet doubtful
whether, under average conditions,
such careful cultivation, at least of
grain crops. is justified by the returns.
Under conditions of high aridity or
where the store of soil moisture is low,
such treatment frequently stands be
tween crop success and failure, and It
is not unlikely that methods will be de.
vised which will permit of the cheap
and rapid cultivation between the rows
of growing wheat Meanwhile, the
dry farmer must always remember
that the margin under which he works
is small, and that his success depends
upon the degree to which he prevents
small wastes.
The conservation of soil-moitsure
depends upon the vigorous, unremit-
ting continuous stirring Of the topsoil.
Cultivation! cultivation! and more cul-
tivation! must be the war cry of the
dry farmer who battles against the
water thieves of an arid climate.

PLOW DEEP TO
RAISE DRY
LAND POTATOES

The man who desires success in po-
tato raising should select the best land
on his farm for this crop. In the pre-
paration of the soil, backsetting is
best, if possible. The sod should be
double disked as early as possible in
the spring and narrowed after each
rain as soon as dry enough to handle.
If the weather is favorable, the po-
tatoes should be planted as soon as
possible after the 10th of April
Get good, clean, homegrown seed,
free from scab. l advise some early
variey; the Early Ohio is good. If
possible, cut the seed potatoe so as to
have but one eye to section. When
ready to plant, pillow Cat least six
inches) and drop the potatoes into
every fourth furrow. If burrows are
narrower than II inches, drop seed
into every fifth furrow or so that the
rows are about four feet apart Drop
one piece of seed potato in place,
averaging about fifteen to twenty
inches apart.
If one desires extra fine potatoes,
the ground should be plowed as deep
as possible, and the potato seed COW
cred not less than six inches.
AS soon as through planting, the
land should be narrowed, and harrow
ing should not be neglected after rains
until the potatoes are five or six
inches high Narrowing should be
done each time in a direction opposite
to the last previous narrowing. After
the potatoes are up six inches, the
harrow should be discarded and the
cultivator used after deep rain until
the plants are in bloom The first cul-
tivation should be deep, but suisse
quent cultivation should be as shall
low as possible to give results-that
is. kill the weeds and keep the mulch.
Cultivation of the ripening plant
should not be close to the plant
as in early growth.
The cultivator will always leave
some weeds near the plants. These
should be cut out carefully, but the
land should never be "hilled up as
the plants do much better with leveled
land.
Potatoes can be produced on sod
land if dropped into the furrow of the
breaking pillow, provided the land is
soft or sandy; but with heavy soil the
land should be broken at least three
inches deep and then chopped up with
disk. After disking it should be
plowed about five inches deep and the
potatoes dropped into the furrow.-A.

THE FIGHT FOR
A PURE MILK SUPPLY
STILL WACING

So many dramatic disclosures have
been made in regard to the relation
between dirty milk and the excessive
death rate among infants that farm
ers are beginning to realize as never
before the necessity of cooperation
with the municipal authorities in their
fight for pure milk.
Milk is certainly the most important
article of food in the human dietary,
and it is also the most communicable
1t is, therefore, up to the farmer to see
that the milk from his dairy gets 70
city babies in as reasonable state
of cleanliness as possible. Not that
this is an exclusively baby problem, for
all sorts of diseases are carried
ample of this class and number of
epidemics of diptheria and scarlet
fever have been traced to the milk
supply, but when we pause to consider
that one-fifth of all the babies born
in the United States die in their in
fancy from preventablc diseases and
that 90 per cent of these are due to
gastro-intesti diseases, due to i'm
proper feeding of impure milk, we nat
urally begin to look into the cause.
/ realize, of course, that not every
farmer can have his milking done
scientifically, but it is possible for him
to produce safe milk for his own use
and that of the public by very sim
pie and inexpensive means.
He may not have an elaborate dairy
outfit. but his cattle can be kept clean
and in perfect health with the assist
ance of a veterinary. 1t will be to his
financial interest in the long run. Tar
paper, whitewash and home made
cement will insure a sanitary stable at
small cost
Then there should be a covered
milking pail in place of the old-fash
toned, wide-mouthed pail. This will
keep nine-tenths of the dirt out dur
ing milking time. All milk utensils
may be kept clean by use OF a brush
and a solution of soda. followed by a
final rinsing in scalding water. If ice

GRAIN FOR CALVES

A little grain should be fed to calves
as soon as skimmilk feeding begins in
order to replace the butter fat remov-
ed in the cream. Two parts by weight
of cracked corn and one of wheat bran
make good grain mixture which
every farmer can readily secure and
requires no special preparation The
calf should be taught to eat this grain
by sprinkling a little of it in the feed
box right after feeding the milk No
more grain should be fed than the calf
will clean up readily.

THE PROFITABLE COW

1t is recognized fact among sue
cessful farmers and dairymen that
cows, like persons, do their best only
under the most favorable conditions.
Well bred COWS have a highly develop
err nervous system and are more sensi-
tive even than human beings to good
and bad treatment and to the effects
of sanitary and unsanitary surround
ings. The contented COW produces a
better grade of milk and more of it.

BOY FARMERS COMING
FROM PACIFIC COAST
Champion Crop Growers Of Cali
fornia on 9,OOO-Mile Tour
of United States.

On a 9,0o0-mile tour of the United
States, twenty-eight champion boy
crop growers of California will arrive
in Washington Wednesday night for a
three day stay.
These boys are the champions in the
crop-growing contest conducted by
sixty-fve boys agricultural clubs or
ganized by the University of Califor-
mia. The boy farmers have performed
such feats as raising five times as many
bushels of potatoes to the acre as does
the average California potato grower,
or of feeding pigs so that they scored
an average gain of three pounds a day
apiece for ten days. or of making a
net profit at the rate of over $3.50 an
acre on potatoes or mixed vegetables.
The months journey from the Pacific
to the Atlantic and back which was
the prize of their exploits as scien-
tifc farmers, began with attendance at
a convention at the university farm of
the University of California at Berke-
ley, October IA and Is, of all the boys
agricultural clubs in California. There
had ever attended such a boys agri-
cultural club state convention ever be-
fore in America. The sixty-five Cali
fornia boys clubs represented were
scattered over distance as great as
all the way from New York to Atlanta,
or from New Orleans to Chicago.
The boys are making a great circuit
of the United States-vfsiting Chicago,
Niagara Falls, Boston. New York.
Washington, Chattanooga. New Or
leans and Berkeley. where they will
complete the trip November IT.
During their stay in Washington they
will be in charge of o. Fl. Benson of
the Department of Agriculture. A re-
for November 4. The party is to leave
for Pittsburgh Saturday at noon.
