CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX
In Cold Climates u Must Be Tight

Where poultry houses are too small
to accommodate all the fixtures COM

the size of the breed kept. The nest
box is attached to the outside of the
house with strong hooks and screw
eyes. The cover is hinged. and fitted
with a pitch sufficient to shed water,
and is covered with roofing paper.
In cold climates the entire construc-
ton of the nest box must be tight and
warm enough to keep the laying hens
comfortably when on the nest In hot
weather the nest box cover can be
slightly elevated to afford a ventila-
ton. In some cases this plan of nest
box is quite convenience as well as
saving Of room. as the eggs can be
gathered outside the poultry house.

The pigs place on the farm cannot
be filled by any other animal. He Is
not only profitable when grown as
crop in himself. but some very I'M
portant places filled by him come
from his ability to make use Of feeds
that would otherwise be lost. Thus
he saves waste and utilizes materials
around the farm which only he can
use and converts these into a market
able product and cash. The pig Is
known as the "mortgagelifter," and
this appellation is certainly well de-
served.
Because of the pigs ability to utii-
ize the grain droppings from steers.
the pig often makes steer-feeding OPP
erations profitable that would not
prove so without his aid. Mumford
reports in a summary Of ten different
experiments that the gains made BY
pigs fed following steers paid from
O.s4 per cent to 1857 per cent of the
feed given the steers. These pigs were
thrifty shotes and did not receive ad-
ditional feed.
Considering the relative economy Of
the different kinds Of live stock, the
pig takes a place among the most eco
nomical. For the whole fattening Pc
riod the OK requires 1,109 pounds Of
dry feed to produce 100 pounds gain;
the sheep. 912 pounds, and the pig. 420

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS
Accurate Information on Cost Of Pro-
dueins Crops Will Help Greatly to
Improve Farm.

By r. l. HINES. Louisiana Station.)
Every farmer should keep books 80
that he may have accurate informa-
ton about his business and may know
the cost of labor, machinery and raw
material. It is important to know the
cost of producing each pound of cot
ton or hay and each bushel of corn or
oats. Do not figure 1t on the basis
that It will cost 80 much to prepare
the land, SO much for planting and 30
much for cultivating. That il like fig-
uring in the air. What you want to
know is not what It costs anybody, but
what did 1t cost you on your farm as
you raised 1t. Keep the record once
and learn something new. Learning
something new is like q tonic; 1t re-
wives youth. gives one q new grip on
life and stimulates one to do things in

PLAN FOR SANE CO. oPERATIoN
In Most Instances Object 10 Paying
Out Rather Than Taxing In Money
Aim 70 Build Up.

By w. L. NELSON. Assistant Secretary
Missouri State Board Of Agriculture)
We hear much ~ to the need of Co
operation in the country. In most In
stances 1t seems that this proposed Co
operation too often has for its object
the paying out rather than the taking
in Of money-buying instead of selling.
It may not be impertinent to ask
whether this isn't tackling the problem
in the wrong place?
True. there may be need of coop
erative buying. but not infreQuently
this means in the minds Of the promo
tiers the organization Of one business
to beat down another. In the end Il
may be that the promoters of the plan
indirectly suffer because of the loss
which has come In quarter where
they little suspected that they had any
interest.
For example, the easiest, often the
crudest and not infreQuently the least
necessary form of cooperation among
rural people-consists in joining to-
gether to purchase in quantities goods
which are sold at the nearest trading
point. The local merchant may not
even so much as be invited to sub
NIT prices on the proposed purchase.
car lot and for cash. 1t may be that
the purchase that the consumers have
In mind Is carload Of corn, ship" or
other feed such as they have been buy
ing in limited quantities and on time.
Good judgment would suggest that
the local miller or elevator man be
given q chance to figure on this sale.
II his figures are found too high 1t win
e4en be time to place the order else
where. To destroy the local mill or
elevator, to put out of business the
local buyer Of grain, may mean an in
direct loss far exceeding the small
savings made on any one purchase.
This does not necessarily mean that
any farm community should be mar
ried" to the home merchant. The point
that we would make plain In that it IL
worth while for the rural community
to encourage the growth of the home
town.
Cooperation can 90 easily take
forms where 1t cannot be charged that
it is seeking to tear down rather than
to build up. There is need of co-opera-
ton in various branches of farm &C
tivity. One farmer alone cannot sue
cessfully combat insect pests.
No one farmer can put the chinch
bug out of business.
1t is practically useless for one farm
er to wait until danger of the Hessian

sown to wheat early in the season.
