LOSS IN MUDDY BARNYARDs
Danger From Disease Endangered by
insanitary conditions-use OF
Scraper 10 Recommended.

It would be difficult to estimate the
loss to farmers from muddy barn
yards. There is loss Of time and much
Inconvenience in caring for the stock,
there is loss of feed and loss of fertil-
ity from the barnyard refuse, not to
mention the danger from disease that
may be engendered by insanitary con-
ditions.
Most muddy barnyards are unneces-
sary. By the use Of the scraper and
sufficient gravel, the mud and water
can be eliminated. The Improvement
can be appreciated by all connected
with the farm enterprise. An interest
ing sermon might be written on the
relation of the muddy barnyard to
the boys who leave the farm. That
such relation exists there can be no
doubt.

COMFORTABLE BED FOR HOGS
Keep Animals Warm and Change
It at Least Weekly.

Hogs should be comfortably bedded,
but it is best to use just enough bed
ding to keep them warm, and to
change it once or twice week. Where
q large quantity of bedding is sup
piled it becomes damp underneath,
causing rheumatism; and dusty on top,
giving the hogs a dry, hacking cough.
Both dust and danpness are opposed
to thrift.
When hogs are not supplied with
plenty of comfortable bedding in cold
weather, they pile on top Of each other
to keep warm. In this way the under
ones become heated, and when they
get out into the cold air are easily
attacked by pneumonia and rheuma-
tism. If the attack is not SUFFICIENT
to kill them, it makes them unthrifty.
1t is best to allow only limited num-
ber of hogs to sleep together, and they
should have such shelter and bedding
that they can keep waEm without be-
coming heated.

arise which cause the failure OF the

ciples. Before q community votes to

sary to study thoroughly what roads

Ell Paso, Tex. April 4.-The capture
of Villa-the trapping of American
troops-an uprising Of all factions
against the United States involving
the overthrow of Carranza-all these
things appear to rest in the hands OF
Gen. Luis Herrera. He has been foe
of Villa but recently was reported to
have quit chihuahua at the head OF
force of 1900 men.
Monday it was said Herrera had
taken ais stand at the key to the
route along which Villa is fleeing
from Dodd's cavalry and the infantry
and artillery which lumbers along in
the rear all a part of Gen. Pershing's
expeditionary force.
It may be Herrera's intention to
fight Villa and dispose Of the bandit
before Pershing's men arrive. At the
same time, 1t is pointed out here, the
common resentment against Ameri-
can invasion may have served to weld
together these once inveterate enc
mics. There are rumors of negotia-
tions between Herrera and Villa
which, If true, might mean disaster
even massacre-for the Americans
who are 300 miles south of the border
and 60 miles behind villa. The ban
dts flight is taking him along
route at the salient point of which he
must choose whether to make for Chi
huahua or Parral-and at that point
he will encounter Herrera.
Absence of definite news concern
ing both Gen. Zapata and Gen. Diaz,
nephew of the former president, cause
fear here that the three will combine
with more than 10000 men under
them and fight the Americans.

WORK HORSE
Many Animals Are Killed or In
iured Through carelessness.
Mover Water Immediately After Feed
Ing Grain Nor Allow Too Much
Water When Hot-Manaee-
ment Of Great Importance.

By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Many horses are killed and many
more are injured by careless feeding
and watering.
Never water . horse Immediately
after feeding grain. This washes the
grain through the stomach before 1t
is properly mixed with the stomach
juices and is liable to cause, collie. 1t
is safer to water the horse before
feeding grain.
II the horse is very warm let him
drink q few swallows and then hold
his head up for minute or two and
thus cool his stomach slowly. Try it
yourself in hot weather. You can drink
quart of cold water without injury
II you but will take several minutes
for the first few swallows.
When horses are brought in hot
from their work they should first be
given water cautiously and then fed
hay and grain together, allowing them
to exercise their own Judgment in
the selection Of their feed.
While waiting for them at the va
tering trough the time can be profit
ably used in removing the harness,

OF the various methods Of financing

they afford and the saving which will

Some Reasons fer Failure.
Instances are not lacking where
bond issues for highway purposes
have proved failures. These failures
are due to mismanagement rather than
to defective principle. Where coun-

Need for Highway Engineers.
Highway plans for bond issues re-
quire expert skill and professional
service. Before the amount of bonds
is determined, q thorough study OF
the needs of the county should be
made and careful maps Of the pro-
posed highway system should be pre-
pared. The sum to be issued should
not be fixed until it is reasonably
known what it will accomplish. 1t is
customary for many counties to ap-
point a commission of business men
under whose Jurisdiction the bond
money Is expended. In other cases
the county supervisor or county COM
missioner has the direction Of expendi-
lures. The best results have always
followed where such commissions or
county boards have secured the serv-
ices Of . competent highway en-
gineer.

POINTERS ON siLo BUILDING
Build Above Ground and Remember
silaos Can Be Kept Equally Well
In Any Receptacle.
(Ry c. N. scHuLTz.l


Many statements have beeh made
about the different kinds of silos that
are not strictly true. For example.
in many cases, men who are interest
ed in promoting various makes Of silos
have made the statement that some
certain kind of silo will keep silage
better than any other kind. That 10
bunk" OF the worst kind. All Of the
standard kinds of silo will keep silage
about equally we'll. II they are well
built.
There ID considerable talk about the
underground silo, and its advantages.
1t is being advocated by men who
ought to know better. An under
ground silo is a poor thing to have.
It is hard to get the silage out of it,
and 1t is dangerous because of the
gases that are formed. While the first
cost may be a little less than an above
ground silo. 1t is more expensive when
the cost of getting the silage out of
the hole. and the bother of the whole
proposition are considered. Don't
build an underground silo, for 1t will
pay SO much better to build a good
one.
Build a silo above ground, and re-
member you can keep silage about
equally as well in all of the principal
kinds. All you have to consider is
the cost. maintenance expense and
probable life. When these factors are
worked out. it will be found, in many
cases, that either the thin-wall or the
solid-wall type Of cement silo is the
best. Investigate the advantages of
cement silos carefully before you de-
eide to build some other kind.

HANDY CART FOR FARM WORK
Facilitated by Use Of Cheap
Little Vehicle.

There are many little jobs around
the farm that could be made easier
through the use of low-down push
cart. Barrels. buckets, and sacks of
material, in fact the hundred and one
things that we find necessary to move
on the farm, could be transferred with
q saving of time and labor by means
Of a light cart.
Two wheels of almost any descrip-
tion can be used, but the lighter the
better. Old buggy wheels will answer
nicely. An axle with dip to within
a foot or SO from the ground can be
made by any blacksmith. Short shafts
can be attached to the axle on the in
side just at the hub of the wheel.
Then the body of the cart can be
built from the shafts to the lower
part of the axle, giving the cart an
underslung platform. The back end
Of the cart will be left open for con-
venience, while the two sides and the
front end,may be boarded up with thin
lumber or narrow strips.
Heavy materials should not be used,
except for the bottom, unless heavy
loads are to be transported. Such a
cart as this can be made quickly and
without any special skill. It's value
will become more apparent as new
uses are found for it. It will short
en- and tighten many q task.
Cheyenne record., 1916-04-06

many communities, 1t is now becoming
common for counties to adopt this
plan. In all engineering construction
1t is customary to allow a certain per-
centage Of the cost for engineering
and supervision. There is no reason
why highway building should be made
an exception to this rule. At least
five per cent of the bond issue may
we'll be set aside for engineering and
supervision alone. Money spent to
hire q competent engineer to make pre-
liminary investigations before bonds
are issued and to plan and supervise
construction will be well spent. 1t
is not uncommon to find counties that
will repeatedly postpone the sale Of
bonds in order to obtain an increase
of one per cent in bid for 100000
Or less and then proceed to construct
the reads in most hsphazard and ILL
planned manner.

thorough investigation into the books
of the Equitable Realty Company of
Wyoming.
The wyoming corporation is the

critics, which include the Equitable
building in Denver. 1t is successor to
the Equitable Realty Company Of
Colorado, which was dissolved sew
eral years ago when the properties
were transferred to the corporation
organized under the laws of Wyom-

In connection with the examina-

the state appraiser will also demand
that a complete financial statement
be made to him of the property held
by Mrs. Leona Barth Brookman, the
holder of deeds Of trust executed by
William Barth shortly before his
death, about which much of the liti-
cation involving the estate has CEN
tered.
The state is pressing two claims
for inheritance taxes against the
Barth property. One is based on
property held by Mrs. Charlotte
Barth. wife of William Barth, who
transferred her holdings to the EQuit-
able Company three days before she
died in November, 1909.
The other is based on the property
owned by William Barth or repre-
sented by the trust deeds which he
executed shortly before his death 20
