roots and leaves, should be got rid
Of by burning or burying in order to
leave no shelter for wintering insects
and no diseased material for the
spread of fungous diseases. This is
work that must be done in the fall
and It cannot be neglected or the
farmer will pay dearly for his negii-
gence.
Weeds of all descriptions. especially
in fence corners and waste places,
should be cut down before going to
seed, or plowed under from time to
time; they harbor many of our worst
pests In summer and winter, and often
afford convenient breeding places for
enemies which the vegetable grower
is endeavoring to combat on his cul-
tivated plants.
There are q number of kinds Of
insects that are general feeders, not
limiting themselves to any particular
variety Of plant, but attacking almost
everything that comes In their way.
On this account they are the most
serious insect foes that we have to
contend against and in many cases
the most difficult to keep under con-
troll. Among these are the aphids
(plant lice). cutworms. grasshoppers,
white grubs. wire worms. flea beetles,
and others, or these we will describe
only the flea beetles.
There are several species of these
minute insects which attack a large
variety of plants; some confine their
attentions to one or two kinds. while
others are general feeders. The
beetles are about one-tenth of an inch
in length. oval and convex in form.
usually shiny black or bronzed In col
or, sometimes ornamented with broad.
pale stripes along the back; they all
possess enormously developed thighs
on the hind legs. by means of which
they are enabled to Jump with great
agility and hence have acquired the
name of flea beetles. They appear In
the spring. often In large numbers.
and eat small holes in the foliage OF
young plants, preferably the thick
seed leaves. The larvae. feed for the
most part on the roots of weeds. as
well as some garden vegetables. Clean

By WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

On all farms devoted to diversified
farming live stock is considered one
of the main money crops.
The average successful farmer de-
rives profit from many sources, He
raises grain, has a small orchard.
keeps a few dairy COWS, and raises
colts, calves and pigs. He would like
to breed some good sheep, we're 1t
not for the night-prowling dogs Of the
neighborhood.
Farming conducted along diversified
lines requires suitable buildings to
house and properly care for the farm
live stock in winter There Is a dairy
stable where the mich cows are care
fully provided for, the work horses
have their warm, comfortable stables,
but there always is an overflow, sort
of "riff-raff" composed of animals of
different ages. There is no room for
them In the regular stables, but to Sc
cure the profits they must be taken
care of and fed with intelligence.
Young stock requires some kind Of
inclosed stable, where they may be
housed during severe weather. They
also require good winter feeding
shelter for milder days. It pays to
stable stock in severe weather to pre-

things that trouble can be avoided.
Besides the foundation wall there
are five concrete piers supporting the
inside posts. After the shed is built
the ground is carefully graded to
drain away to the southeast corner;
then concrete floor is laid, which
forms square A feet in diameter.
This concrete barnyard floor is made
the same as a sidewalk, by making
blocks feet square. First a by is
graded and lined up and staked into
place, feet from the cement wall.
Cinders are placed on the ground, and
lean mixture OF cement, sand and
gravel il. pounded down on the Gin
ders, leaving about a quarter Of an
inch space between the top OF the
rough concrete and the top Of the 2 by
4. This quarter-inch Is then surfaced
with q richer mixture and struck on
even. The by 4 is then moved feet,
and the process repeated. Short
pieces Of 2 by 4, Ave feet long, are used
for the cross pieces. The joints be-
tween the 5 foot blocks allow for ex-
pansion and contraction, so the floor
will not crack. M
After the floor is finished out to the
farthest corner, feed racks are built
on the ground close up against the
edge OF the concrete. Feed is carried
to the feed cracks by an overhead
trolley track, which may pass over
the feed racks and dump directly into
them to save labor.
The labor problem is the most seri-
Gus difiiculty that diversified farmers
have to contend with. One of the first
things to consider in laying out a
farm building is the labor of using
the building after II is completed.
The old.fashioned way was to attach
the feed racks to the shed posts,
which curtailed the space and caused
great deal of hand work to get the
feed into the racks. They were also
greatly In the way when removing
the manure. It is easy to get to the
outside Of an angle, but sometimes II
is difficult to get to the inside Of q
shed with fodder enough to satisfy q
lot of hungry animals.
Feed racks for this purpose should
be built for feeding hay and silage
and grain. This requires a rack to
hold the hay, and low-down trough
for silage and grain. To save waste
the bottom should be made tight with
matched boards. y,
A gate or heavy door may ba
hinged at each corner of the shed TO
fasten the cattle inside when neces-
sary. If this is done, the feed racks
will form two sides of the Enclosure.
The construction of the shed is

vent shrinkage. but the greater part
Of fall, winter and spring is made up
Of temperatures above freezing.
Rain is more detrimental than Sc
we're cold. Large quantities OF heat
producing food are necessary to evap-
crate 9 cold rain out OF the hair OF
domestic animals. II the animal can
not eat enough or is not given the
right kinds Of feed to produce sufii-
cient heat, then IL must draw on It's
own store OF fat. The natural result
is shrinkage in weight. When an ami
NAL forms the habit of burning It's in
ternal fat II soon goes wrong. The
"critter" is on the down-grade, and
will soon need doctoring, which we all
understand Is serious business.
The illustrations show an open
stock shed, to be used in connection
with the storage barn, corncrib, and
silo.
The shed is built in the form OF a
right angle. which faces the south and
east for protection against the cold
north and west winds. The shed is

fungi. These plants have no green
coloring matter and are entirely un.
able to manufacture their own food
All their nourishment, therefore. must
be obtained from decaying animal o.
vegetable remains or from living an.
imals or plants. Those fungi which
derive their nourishment from living
plants in SO doing injure them In
various ways. ind thus give rise to
what are known as fungus diseases
Generally speaking. In combating
fungous diseases. methods of proven
ton only are practicable. as once a
fungus is within q plant nothing can
be done to destroy It. Care should
be taken to keep the crops in a
healthy. growing condition and free
from injury by insects. Unthrifty
plants and those attacked by insects
are more liable to fungous diseases
than healthy ones. Rotation of crops
should be practiced so that the winter
spores left in the soil may not infest
next seasons crop. Weeds should be
destroyed. as they frequently harbor
fungi. Diseased crop refuse should be
burnt and not thrown on the manure
heap. Fresh manure should be avoid.
ed as 1t frequently contains living
spores of parasitic fungi. Intelligent
and thorough spraying with bordeaux
or other fungicides will do much to
prevent the spread of fungous diseases.
