ter OF prohibition. 1t is one of the
live questions of the day, and The best
thought of this generation Is being
applied to the solution of the liquor
problem. The trend of the Zines is
toward abstenance and temperate
drinking. Business demands It and So
ciety is making stand for sobriety.
The press and the pulpit are almost
IsolidIy for those laws which will
strengthen the weak and make II hard
for them to obtain that which will
destroy the efficiency of worker and
thinker il taken to excess.
Perhaps the greatest good is being
done by teaching the. evils of exces-
sive drinking. The text books of the
schools have much I'm them to teach
the pupil to abstain from intemper-
ate drinking of alcoholic beverages.
Their physiologies tell them that IL
they drink they will be weaker than
II they abstain--weaker both physi-
cally and mentally With proper en-
phasis placed upon this teaching by
the conscientious teacher, there will
Re many boys and girls growing up
as advocates OF stronger bodies and
minds through total abstenance.
Other factors In this temperate
fight Is being made by men of big
business. The railroads now will not

will give preference to sober men. So

Or not he wishes 1t, TO be temperate.
The last step will be taken when no

boy friends. and no woman will wed

already taken this step, but it win

ENSlLING THE GREEN CROPS
Extensive investigation Carried on by
Nebraska Experiment Station
Six Small Silos Used.

The department OF agricultural
chemistry of the experiment station
and college of agriculture of Nebras-
ka has been carrying on an extensive
investigation during the last year on
the chemistry of the processes which
take place during the ensiling OF vari-
Gus green crops. Special attention has
been given to silage made from mix
lures OF alfalfa and sweet sorghum.
Six small silos holding about one
ton each were filled in September,
1914, with various mixtures Two OF
these silos were opened during the
second week of August, 1915, and the
silage in each was found to be in per-
feet condition. The first silo con-
tanned a mixture of one part sweet
sorghum and one part alfalfa. while
the second contained mixture OF one
part sweet sorghum and two parts ar
falfa.
Alfalfa alone will not make sill
age, because the plant does not con-
tain enough sugar TO insure the pro-
duction OF sufficient acid TO preserve
the silage. The acid produced from
the sugar in the green plant by bac.
terial action preserves the silage BY
mixing sweet sorghum with the alfalfa
the necessary sugar is supplied.

very desirable that the coarse aggre-
gate be well graded in size between
proper limits.
The proportion OF cement to the
sand and coarse aggregate combined
should not be less than about l to 5,
and the proportion of sand to coarse
aggregate not less than 11s to 3, nor
greater than 2 to 3. A useful for.
mula when gravel is used as coarse
aggregate is l part OF cement to 1h
parts Of sand to parts OF gravel.
When crushed stone is used, Ia parts
OF sand may be substituted in place of
11s parts.
Ordinarily from 1-3 to II OF the
total cost OF constructing concrete
pavement is for labor after the mate
rials are delivered. This emphasizes
the Importance of efficient organiza-
ton and proper equipment. Failure
to take those factors into considera-
tion frequently results in adding from
10 to 20 per cent to the cost OF a
concrete pavement.
The most economical method is to
have the work of mixing and placing
the concrete as nearly continuous as
practicable. The work should be
planned with a primary view OF keep
ing the mixer going full time. The
drainage structures, the grading, and
the subTrade should, therefore, be
completed we'll in advance of the mix.

all of the necessary materials without

to make adequate provision for deliv'

Many successful poultrymen prefer
dirt floors, but unless these are prop
erly constructed they will become
damp and muddy and a source of
great annoyance to the person in
charge OF the flock and a danger to
the health of the birds themselves. A

with very coarse sand or gravel or
broken rock and on top of this three
or four inches of light soil, the whole
covered with heavy coating OF dry
sand.
A floor OF this kind will resist
dampness unless the house is built
in rrow or swampy place. No matter
where located the ground should be
thoroughly drained on all sides OF the
house on the outside. OF course the
ideal dry dirt floor is made by first
laying tiled drains at the depth Of
about six inches, IS inches apart the
entire length of the house, extending
out on each side from six to eight
feet. This will absolutely prevent
dampness.
The open-front houses may be
adapted to the small flock of the farm
or to any number of birds by simply
multiplying the units. This form Of
poultry house has been tried in all
climates and has proved more salts
factory than any other.
In the extreme northern states
where the thermometer falls to many
degrees below zero it is well to pro-
tect the birds at night by a thin mus
lin curtain attached to a roller which
may be rolled up during the day and
let down at night but in moderate
climates this protection is not at all
necessary. A muslin curtain should
be of such texture that the air may
pass through 1t. otherwise drafts
will be caused and drafts are posi-
lively the most harmful conditions
that can affect poultry.
The open-front curtained poultry
house has been thoroughly tried at the
experiment stations of Maine, Mime
sofa. Montana and in other states
where the temperature falls to 20 de-
grees or mores below zero, and with
excellent success.
In those localities where there is
little snowfall but excessive moisture
during the winter months, the cur
tains should be left off for in these
cases they are sure to hold dampness

expensive. 1t can be made OF rough
boards OF any kind. IL floor is used
it should be made OF a double thick
ness of planks with a sheet OF build
ing paper between. The sides and
roof should be covered with heavy
tar paper, battened down over all the
cracks, the essential thing being TO
prevent any drafts whatever.
The roosting closet should be sep
arate from the laying room and
scratching shed. Hens should never
be fed In the roosting closet nor
should the floor of the closet be COW
cred with straw, as this gathers
dampness. Many successful poultry
men do not use dropping boards at
all but clean the floor every day,
which is, all things considered. prefer
able. OF course, IL the droppings are
allowed to accumulate on the floor
the conditions will be as bad as IL
allowed to accumulate on the drop
ping boards. Cleanliness is always
essential and whether the dropping
boards are used or not the roosting
house should be kept perfectly clean
and dry at all times.
BY sprinkling a little dry earth or
sand on the floor the droppings may
be removed in a few moments and
the floor can be kept clean with very
little effort.
The laying nests should be ar
ranged in an apartment adjoining the
roosting closet and here the birds
may be fed. This laying and scratch
ing shed should be entirely open to
the south, the front being covered
with wire to prevent the intrusion Of
rats and other rodents.
A box of grit and a box Of dry road
dust should always be kept in the
scratching shed. No matter how care
full one may be fowls cannot be kept
entirely free from vermin without
having constant access to dry dust.
1t is their natural way of protecting
themselves from vermin and IL they
are confined without being allowed to
dust themselves they are sure to be
affected.
Nests Saould be placed at least two
feet above the floor with board so
placed on an incline that the hens
can easily walk up to the nest instead
of being compelled to fly up. Young
pullets heavy with egg are often in
jured by flying up to, and down from
nests placed too high.
Nests should be arranged with
movable bottoms so that the contents
may be frequently removed and the
nests kept perfectly clean. The nest
should not be less than IA inches
square in size. particularly for the
larger breeds of birds.
