Nearly seven hundred millions fol

1917 is the aggregate Of proposed ap-
propriations reached i'll the senate
with passage of the army appropria-
ton bill, carrying in round numbers
$314. 100000.
This great total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow tho
navy bill into conference, where re-
auctions are probable despite the firm
attitude of President Wilson in sup
porting the liberal response of tho
senate to the call for adequate de-
Tense.

Use of Rarbed Wire,

Some idea of the extensive use OF
barbad wire for trench entanglements
may be gained from the fact that the
shipments Of wire from the United
States to the allies now average more
than a million pounds month, and
the total exports of barbed wire since
last July amount to more than seven
million pounds. The barbed wire is
shipped direct to England, and from
there transshipped to France and
Italy. This wire is woven in com.
plicated masses in front of the
trenches, and has to be replaced when
1t Is destroyed by artillery fire, which
frequently happens. OF late the al.
lies have been ordering considerable
quantities of an extra heavy. wire,
with especially large barbed prongs.
The Germans, too, are well provided
with barbed wire entanglements, but
very little of it is of American manu-
facture, although an occasional ship
ment is said to find It's way into Ger
many through Denmark or Sweden

after the spring rains and rats have
taken their toll.
This coop is three feet wide, six
feet long, two feet high In the rear
and three feet high in front. A door
eight inches wide runs the entire
length of the back SO as to permit easy
access to the hen. In the front are
four openings which are covered with
stats. 1t is possible to close the open
ings by placing an eight-inch door
along the entire front. This makes
the coop rat-proof at night and by
Ringing it at the bottom the door pro-
vides runway for the chicks to en-
ter. Just beneath the caves along the
front is door a foot wide. The open
ing made by this door is covered with
wire screen. When open this door
lights the coop and protects it from
rains.
The coop can be used for Matching
and brooding. 1t is divided by burlap
frames into four compartments. The
aim is to set four hens in the back
part of the coop and keep food and wa
ter in the runways In front. After
Matching, the chicks from two hens
are given to one for brooding. Later
when the hen weans her chicks the re-
naming partition can be removed
and the coop can be used to house the
young stock for the remainder of the
season. 1t makes hen Matching easier
and more efficient brooding possible
1t can be made rat-proof very easily
and can be moved from place to place
with little trouble.
Hints on House Construction.
Four square feet OF floor space
should be allowed for each hen.
Have from eight to fifteen inches
| of roosting space for each hen.
Allow one nest to every four or five
hens.
When muslin Is used for ventilation
purposes, one square foot of muslin
should be placed on the south side for
every Is square feet of floor space, il
the house is Is feet wide. If the
house is ten feet wide, on the south
side use one square foot of muslin to
every 20 square feet of floor space,
and If the house is 20 feet wide, on
the south side use one square foot of
muslin to every ten square feet of
| floor space.
The foregoing rules will also apply
in the use Of the shutter-front method
| of ventilation.
The height Of the tops of the win
dows If placed on the south side,
should be little less than one-half
as high as the house Is wide.
Glass should be placed in the house
at the rate OF one square foot to
every Is square feet Of floor space.
| If the chickens are yarded, $50
square feet Of yard space should be
allowed for each bird.

(By PROF. n. L. KEMPSTER, Univer-
sity of Missouri, College of Agrfculture)
In selecting a location for a poultry
house the farmer usually chooses the
one which is nearest to his home in
order that the housewife may con-
veniently care for the poultry flock.
This accounts for the usual location
of the poultry house half way between
the house and the barn where 1t is
convenient for the hens to overrun
not only the farm buildings, but also
the kitchen porch. This habit Is also
encouraged by the indiscriminate scat
tering Of feed, often closer to the
farm buildings than to the poultry
house. If the farm poultry house Is
located so as to make 1t natural for
the hens not to run in the yards,
there will be very little trouble with
them overrunning the farm buildings.
In the care of poultry one should
aim as far as possible to feed all the
feed in and around the poultry house.
Frequently poultry can be encouraged
to run into the orchard by q simple
arrangement Of the fences. Grain
crops can often be grown upon the
same ground upon which the poultry
flock is running with very little injury
to the crop. Corn is especially adapt
ed to such a practice. This practice
furnishes an abundance of shade dur
ing the summer when it is most need
ed. The yards are plowed occasion
ally, exposing the soil to the sun, de-
stroying many disease germs and in
testinal parasites, and the droppings
which are generally wasted are util-
ized. In addition to making condi-
lions more healthful, this growing Of
crops ON the poultry runs also reduces
the feed cost. Under Missouri condi-
tons it is more desirable for chick
ems to be kept upon cultivated soil
than it is to attempt to have a perma-
nent sod run. Often the garden can
be alternated with the poultry pas
ture. Under farm conditions this
kind Of yarding can be easily arranged
with practically no fencing. While the
location of the farm poultry house is
generally determined by the conven-
fence with which it can be reached
from the house, little fore
thought will enable the poultry keep
er to make the above arrangements
without sacrificing convenience.
Matching and BroodIng House.
The combined Matching, brooding
and housing coop shown below is
large enough to accommodate four
hens and is as good as 6O-egg incu-
bator. Farmers who have used this
coop have pronounced it success.
This coop does away with the little
"a" shaped coops which are common
ly given to hens after they have
hatched their broods and which are
soon outgrown by what chicks remain

the entire building. The floors in the
stalls can be made of some material
over the concrete, but concrete floor
is very successful in the implement
shed. The treated wood block floor
is also used very often in buildings
of this kind. Many farmers feel that
a floor in an implement shed is an ex-
travagance. but its presence makes it
possible to keep the tools in the best
possible condition, as well as the
machines. More care will be taken in
keeping all the farm machinery in
good condition If floor is built SO
that the building can be kept clean.
Nine feet Of headroom is generally
provided in horse stables, and this
same height is about right for a shed,
where the farm implements are to be
stored. The floor under the NOW can
therefore be made level.
Good, tight doors and windows are
absolutely necessary in a shed in
which machinery is kept. In addition
to the rain and snow that must be
kept out, there are also small animals
Of all kinds, and especially chickens,
that invariably think the implement
shed was put up as a special home
for them, but they must be excluded
if the machinery is to be kept In the
proper condition. Good construction
and doors that will not be torn Of
their hinges are the best methods Of
preventing trouble from this source
II windows should accidentally be
come broken they should be repaired
Immediately, as they would be in the
case OF any Of the other farm build
ings. The implement shed is most
often neglected, but such should not
be the case, for no one will keep ma
chinery in good condition in ram
shackle building.
The implement shed can be finished
up In any way that is desired by the
owner. It II very necessary that {

~ IT rood Fsse to readily handle the
work that Is being repaired. This
can be placed along the wall under the
windows, where good light will be
available. All the tools necessary for
repair work of all kinds can be kept
in cabinets or in racks that can be
built along the walls near the bench.
Supplies of paints and oils can be
kept under the bench.
Broad doors are provided In the
plan, so that the various farm imple-
ments can be taken through them
easily. Many of these are of good
size, so that plenty of door room
should be furnished. Three sets of
double doors occupy the entire front
Of the shed part of the barn, which
makes it possible to get out any piece
Of equipment that is wanted without
disturbing the other machinery that
may be stored in the shed at the
time.
In the horse stable end there are
standing stalls for six horses and also
two box stalls, each ten feet in width,
that can be used for any purpose. A
small space is provided with a we'll
built cupboard, where the harness can
be kept.
There is at least one window pro.
vided for each stall, and the double
stall and the box stall each have two
windows. A wide passageway Is pro
vided through the stable so that equip
ment of various kinds can pass
through the barn to the equipment
shed at the end.
The foundation walls, which are OF
concrete, are carried above grade
about Is inches, which is good
feature, as 1t protects the frame
from coming in contact with the wet
ground. A concrete wall of this kind
also forms an effective barrier against
vermin.
A very large storage space for hay
and straw is provided in the large
NOW over the stable and shed. The
roof is of the framed gambrel type.
and is self-supporting, so that no COLI
umns or pillars are needed to block
up the space in the upper part of the
building. The trussed barn roof Is
almost universally used now because
Of this feature.

ing such as would be most practical

By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr., william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account Of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad
ford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
ILL.,, and only inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
On the average-size farm it is often
not advisable to make separate build
ings for all the various activities of
the well-arranged and well-managed
farm. Various combinations are made
to cut down the cost of constructing
necessary buildings. and at the same
time sufficient room is provided so
that each part Of the combination can
readily handle the work that it Ia in
tended to do.
The accompanying floor plan and
perspective view show combination
that can be made with considerable
success and satisfaction. Half Of this
barn is devoted to horse stable and
the other half is intended as an i'm.
plement shed. There are several rea-
sons why such combination can be
built cheaply so as to provide the best
conditions for either part.

Keep Up Egg Yield.

Laying hens must have green feed
and plenty of it. When growing green
feed is not available, vegetables of
some kind must be supplied. or there
will be shortage in the egg basket.
When 1t has been tried, good silage
has proved one Of the best sources of
