try. People are becoming accustomed to them and are, in fact, beginning to like their appearance. Their main ad- vantage, however, is in the strength of the roof truss which may be used In their construction, assuring a solid building while at the same time there is furnished large now room in pro- the roof, and the free space is not in- terfered with by braces or cross tim- bers.
 The strength comes from the num- Der, shape and construction of the trusses. Each pair of rafters forms a truss which reaches from one sill to the other. The roof boards are firm ly nailed to the trussed rafters, so that the whole roof is as strong as if it were in one piece. It is strongly recommended that the roof boards shall be placed close together so all and should be long enough tos reach clear through. Good shingles put on in this way will last great many years.
 Warm and foul air is expelled from the building by single large ventila- tor placed in the center of the roof.

crete has furnished one of the most useful of materials in building farm structures which do not rot along the sills. By carrying the concrete founda- tion walls up IS inches or two feet above grade and bolting the sills to the top of these walls the moisture is kept away from the wood and rotting is pre- vented. In addition, the walls and floors may be made of concrete throughout, furnishing stfong construc- tion and making the barn very easy to keep clean.

There IS no reason why the small farm should not have buildings of as high quality as those of the larger farms. There is little saving realized in the long run when cheap, poorly constructed buildings are placed on a farm of any size. Small buildings may be constructed with just as careful re- gard for the latest ideas in farm building construction as the larger structures. In order that a barn shall follow the latest practice in farm-build- ing design it must be provided with a large number of windows which will allow the sunlight to penetrate every corner, and there must be a system of scientific ventilation to insure the health of live stock kept in the barn and prevent the formation of condi- tions resulting in an increased fire risk.
 The permanence of barn is depend ent very largely upon it's foundation. When the structure is given a good coat of paint at regular intervals and no accident occurs which weakens it at any point, the only rapid deterioration which is likely to occur is the rotting of timbers kept moist by an improper reconstructed foundation system.

SHEEP VALUABLE ON
EVERY SMALL FARM
Animals Grow Into Marketable
Products at Early Age-Cost
Little for Feed.

(By DIR. r. II. WILLIAMS. Animal Hus-
bandman. University of Arizona Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)
Every farmer should keep a small
flock of sheep. They cost little for
feed, for they act as weed scaven-
gers, and grow into marketable prod
ucts at an early age. There are also
many waste places on farms which
may be utilized for sheep production.
Another advantage of sheep is that
they require little labor. They come
as near solving the "hired help prob
lem" as any other kind of mixed farm
Ing. Lambs milk the ewes at some
what regular intervals and they sep
arate the milk and store away the
product without the use of cans or re-
frigeration. When farmer sees a
bulge on his side Of the market, the
kind-hearted and Industrious lambs are
asked to trot to market carrying all
the milk and worry with them. 1t is
like finding money, for the sheep have
paid their way in wool, fertilizer, and

this In view, the SOW should be so fed
and managed as to enable her to do
her work to the very best advantage.
A sow should remain in the herd as
long as useful. A good steady sow,
with well developed teats can usually
be depended upon to repeat the per-
Torrance. II the SOW is properly ham
died and fails to fulfil her duties, the
sow has no business on the farm, and
the quicker she is found out and dis
posed of the better. Feeding is a mat
ter Of the most importance, for the
brood sow as She needs the right kind
of feed for three important purposes ::
For the maintenance of her own body !;
for the growth of her own body; for
the development of the fetal pigs.

cow DESERVES REST
AND AMPLE FEEDING
Recommendation of Dairy De-
partment of the New Jersey
Experiment Station.

The dairying department of the Few
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows a
rest of six weeks or more before they
freshen this fall. Some cows may
maintain good flow of milk right up
to calying time, and in such cases the
dairyman hesitates to dry them off
for rest period of several weeks.
This should be done, however, and the
cow well fed SO that she will be in
good flesh when she freshens. The
work Of producing heavy yield of
milk for ten months or a year is a
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and a period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another lactation period.
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin in flesh she should be given a
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss of what milk the COW
might produce during the dry period
will be made up several times over by
an increased yield during the follow
ing lactation period. A good rest and
liberal feeding preceding the date of
calving helps largely to bring about a
good yield during the following year.

BROOD SOW GOOD AS
A MORTGAGE LITTER
0ft-Repeated Remark Never
More True Than at Present
Returns Quickly Made.

By w L. BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
NJ. College, Stillwater)
The oft-repeated quotation that
the brood SOW is the mortgage lift
err was never more true than at the
present time. There is no animal
kept on the farm that will so surely
and quickly return a profit upon feed
consumed and care given as the brood
SOW.
A hog will produce a pound of In
crease for every four of five pounds
of feed consumed, while fattening cat
tie win require from 10 to 10 pounds
to produce the same amount of in
crease. They are more prolific than
any other kind of live stock. They are
absolutely essential to the economic
utilization Of waste products on the
beef, dairy, grain, fruit and vegetable
farm.
Profitable Sow.
The SOW that proves most profitable
Is the one that is large and roomy,
carrying a strong back, wide lOin, full
hams, large heart-girth, indicating con-
stitution, plenty of bone, standing well
on strong legs. Select sows from
good-sized htters. The SOW that car
ries good length and depth of body
generally proves the most prolific.
Quality should not be overlooked, but
in the search for quality. do not sacri-
fee substance, nor select delicate ami
mails. Uniformity in herd of sows
is very important. A uniform bunch
of sows will produce a more uniform
lot of pigs, and uniform lot of pigs
will feed better, look better when fat,
and sell better on the market.
Sow's Business.
Sows are not kept for the purpose
of eating feed merely. Their business
is to farrow pigs and to nurse them
to point where they can be fed. With

Kidney Disorder
(BY DR.. v. N. PIERCE.)

"The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system" The mere drinking cup
of hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur if the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
pOisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, irritability, headaches, chilli.
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints or govt.
Since it is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
fesires to regain health and new life
will waste no time il beginning this
treatment.

HOGGING OFF CORN
is EXCELLENT PLAN
When Crop Is Fed in Field Where
Grown, Plant Food Is Re-

The advantages of hogging off corr
are as follows:
]. More pork produced from the
corn crop.
2. Rapid and economical gains are
made by the hogs.
3. Labor and expense is saved ir
harvesting and marketing the corr
crop.
4. Crib space is saved because corr
that is hogged off does not have to be
stored.
5. The cornstalks are in better con
dition for the growing of next years
crop.
6. The corn crop is fed in the field
where grown, thus the plant food con.
tanned in the crop is, to a large ex.
tent, returned to the soil.
z. The manure produced by the hog
is evenly scattered over the land.
