NOW room will be much greater than
if you build timber barn and have
lots of crossties or beams. A barn
with truss Ike this one was built
in central Iowa a few years ago, and
time has shown that 1t is a good job.
1t also, by the way, was cheap frame
to put up from the standpoint of both
labor and materials.
It is just a plain gable-roofed barn
with 1S-foot rafters of two-by-six and
placed two feet center to center. The
studding are 16 feet on top of the
concrete wall and the hay floor joists
Of two-by-eight stuff are nine feet from
the floor. The NOW holds one ton OF
hay for about every running foot Of
the barn. Note how the studding, the
joists and the rafters are all tied up
together so that they cannot bulge,
sag, twist or band. A plank girder
made out Of four 2x12's runs through
the center of the barn when 1t is only
% feet in width. The girder is sup
ported by six-by-eight posts and prop
erly braced.

venient dimensions for this porch are
10 feet each way. This will enable the
very largest forkful of hay to be taken
In without choking the entrance.
As shown, the porch should be
closed with a door hung from hinges
above, held in place when closed by
ropes attached to the lower corners
and fastened on the inside Of the barn
when the door is shut. The chief ad.
vantages of this plan are that the hay

PLAN FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT

pertinent statlon.)
In an experiment, where no farm
manure was used, the average yearly
return from the land itself was 1915
per acre, while 81 was the return from
a ton of limestone and 1896 from 500
pounds of phosphate.
In order to reduce the labor in
volyed, the limestone and phosphate
are actually applied in larger amounts
at less frequent intervals; but thus
far the rates of application have been
one ton Of limestone and 500 pounds
OF phosphate per acre for each year,
although, after the soil is sufficiently
enriched, one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance.
The principles Of permanent i'm.
proVement for most soil types are al
ready well established. They include
the use Of ground limestone for cor
recting soil and for enrichment in cal
cium; the utilization OF atmospheric
nitrogen by proper use OF legume
crops, the application of phosphorus
to most soils and the liberation of pot
ash from the inexhaustible supply al
ready contained in all normal soils
On some soils dolomitic limestone
should be used in order to provide
both magnesium and caIciun1. and m
certain abnormal soils, such as
swamp muck and residual sand, potas-
stun must also be applied.
The location and character of the
various soil types are established by
the surveys and analyses, and the soil

the best order of application of the

Ordinary wood ashes contain on the
average about 5 or 3 per cent OF pot
ash and per cent Of phosphorus acid.
Investigators have considered that
there Is enough potash and phoaphor-

make It worth 30 to IS cents. Besides
that. some 10 to is cents additional

cost of construction as well as its eff

which can easily be laid out by farm

Look Out for Poison on Peels.

Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re-
moved. Some even go so far as to
say there is danger in eating fruit
that has come in contact with the
steel of the pairing knife, as the acid
In the fruit is apt to produce some
poison when it comes into contact
with the metal. But whether these
things are true or not, there is a
still greater danger in eating apples
without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with germs
of different types, and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
do our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead, lime and sulphur

have been found to remain in consid-
