How to Treat Broken

Broken wind Is the old fashioned
name given to the chronic lung COM

We have only to look at a horses

to see II he Is broken winded or not.
The cough is characteristic. spas
modic at first. but AZ the disease ad-
vances becomes single. short and sup
pressed. The trouble Is incurable, and
the treatment therefore, can only be
palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water. Dusty or burned
hay is to be avoided, as are also chop
ped straw and over-ripe rye grass.
1t is q good plan to mix a quarter
of pint Of linseed oil with each feed.
As regards medicinal agents, their

therefore. depletes the soil of this ele-
ment

value Of tho plant--food removed will
be $12.74. and for a 6-ton crop OF

Bulletins of tho Illinois and Wis
consin experiment stations have con-
tanned the statement that for tho pro-
duction Of milk, a ton of alfalfa hay
is equivalent to 4 ton OF bran, thus
fixing the value Of alfalfa hay near
$2b per ton for the production of
milk.

peroro the average farmer VIII
change his farm methods and Try
raising alfalfa, there are two ques-
lions which must be answered IN inc
af11rmative-First, is 1t practlcai
Second, Is it profitable! :,
The aswer to tho first Is that all
soils which will produce red clover
will produce alfalfa, and such solls'
which by reason Of their sandy or
sravellv character, are not we'll adapt
ed to red clover, will produce alfalfa
profitably.
There is 4 smaller percentage OF
failures from alfalfa properly sown
than from the red clover usually so"n.
Tho seed bed should be finely pre-
pared, and It should be remembered
that failure to inoculate the soil Is but
an invitation to disappointment
The second question-as to the
value of alfalfa-is an interesting one,
particularly when compared with the
value Of corn. A yield of corn OF IL
bushels per acre, which is large and
satisfactory yield, (72 bushels Of corn
is two tons of grain), will. at 40 cents
per bushel, bring $3.50.
Tho same soil and season which Will
produce two tons Of corn per acre,
will produce five or six tons of alfalfa,
which at SIS per ton will return not
less than SIS per acre. and that, too,
with much less labor.
In an experiment in Illinois equal
areas were in corn and alfalfa. The
proceeds from tho alfalfa crop were
over three times those from the corn.
Comparing tho amount OF plant food
removed by tho alfalfa and tho corn,
we find a ton Of alfalfa removes 80
pounds Of nitrogen, 4 pounds phos-
phorous and "a pounds potassium
worth at market price. exclusive Of
the nitrogen, S1.o2. (The nitrogen Is
not taken into account because the
alfalfa can get its supply directly from
the air, through the bacteria on its
roots.)

How One Farm Was
Made to Pay

d ~ significant instance Of what prop
~ methods Of farm management can
Aecomplish is afforded by certain
1O0-acre farm In central Michigan.
Tor ten years this farm failed to pay
interest on the capital invested. One
aSoaF after the owners had been in
l1ncod to make certain radical changes
Inc farm paid all the expenses Of OPP
s&tat ton and returned them per cent
f9|n an investment Of 100000. The
x Manages which accomplished this f.
6ncial revolution were as follows:
(1) Four-horse machinery was
S5abstituted for 2-horse.
The Improbable COWS In the
Nalry herd were welded out and sold,
md the money received for them in
ted In better stock.
ESl3) "A silo was built.
The foreman was allowed, in
Walton to his salary, 10 per cent Of
Io net income from the farm. The
psnses OF operating the farm, but
IA the interest on the capital, were
t1duotsd from the income before the
atGrsman received his percentage.
aSslt was this last suggestion which
W with the most opposition from the
sliers OF the farm, but when it was
fnted out to them that for every
Fllar the foreman got under such an
/ fangement. they would get 50, they

State Control
of Local Roads

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart-
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
$3.50, 100000 Is expended annually,
with comparatively little result to
show in the form of Improved road
mileage for this great outlay. The
state of Iowa has met this situation
by placing all the road work in the
state under the direction of the state
highway department..
Traffic Is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads.
especially in the vicinity Of congested
centers of population. This results in
q heavy annual maintenance cost,
averaging in the large eastern states
not less than $3.50 per mile per an
mum. Many experiments have been
made in the effort to devise types Of
road which can be maintained at rela-
lively low cost. Thus far, aside from
the cheaper forms of construction, tho
states are depending upon the various
forms of bituminous macadam, con.
crete and vitrified- brick road.-Year-

posed of insects with some spiders,
while the latter Is largely fruit, chiefly
wild species. Beetles constitute 1913
per cent Of the food. The ants de-
stroyed. 12.40 per cent of the food
keep up the reputation of thrushes as
ant eaters. Caterpillars,i eaten in every
month and mostly in goodly quanti-
ties, appear to be a favorite food of
the hermit thrush. Flies comprise
3.02 per cent of the food of this bird.
The vegetable diet Of the hermit
thrush consists largely of fruit, but
as might be expected of bird OF such
retiring habits. but little Of the fruit
eaten can be classified as cultivated.
Forty-six species Of wild fruits were
Identified in 24S stomachs.
The hermit thrush, as its name in
dictates, is of solitary habits. and
neither seeks human companionship
nor molests cultivated products. II
destroys nothing indirectly helpful to
man, as beneficial insects, but aids In
the destruction of the myriad hosts
of insect life which at all times
threaten vegetation. While it is not
easy to point out any especially use

fills its place in tho economy Of ma
ture. from which it should not be re-
moved.

PROFITABLE CROP ROTATION.

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely In changing
the crops around from year to year,
regardless Of the relation OF the crops
to each other The central aim in
all crop rotation svvtems should be
to leave each held in better state
of cultivation, better physical condi-
ton, and reasonably free from pests
at the end Of each rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community,
but tho most profitable system must
be worked out for eash farm and,
indeed, for each hsld There are Ger.
tain general principles. however that

studs themselves should be 2 by q
inches. To these is nailed siding for
the outer walls. This siding consists
Of by 8 inch boards with both upper
and lower edges beveled at an angle
OF ~ degrees. They should be set
about 1 IL inches apart. This per-
mits free entry Of air. while the bevA.
eied edges lessen the danger Of rain
beating into tho crib. However, the
beveled edges are not absolutely neo-
essary. In the complete structure the
siding on the walls facing the drive
way need not be beveled, az there 10
no necessity for protection from rain
here. On these sides. too, the sid
ing boards should not be carried high
crib to be filled by throwing the corn
over tho boards. If the quantity Of
corn on hand is sufficient to f1ll the
crib above this point. additional siding
boards. can be hung on 20-penny
spikes driven into the inner sides Of
the studs. The boards have holes at
proper intervals to At over the spikes
and are held in place by the pressure
OF the corn.
The rat-proofng is an important
feature Of the design which the farmer
cannot afford to neglect. One-half
inch mesh wire netting is put on all
sides Of the crib between studs and
siding and carried to height Of 80
inches above the ground or above the
floor of the driveway. At the top of
the wire strip of S-inch galvanized
iron should be nailed to the outside
of the siding. The bottom Of the gall
vanized iron Is 2 inches lower than
the top of the wire, making a total
height for the wire and iron strip of
SO inches all around. This galvanized
iron strip will halt any rats that may
climb up the walls. The rat-prooting
Is put on the drive side of cribs so that
If the doors are left open rats will still
be unable to get at the corn. Care

window, and go out Of the room for
| five minutes. BY that time the entire
air in the room should be as fresh "a
that out Of doors.
In admitting the fresh air, let it in
as near the lower part Of the room al
possible 50 that, as it enters, 1t may
force the vit1ated air in the room to
the ceiling. and give 1t a chance to
escape through the window opened at
the top.
Watering IS an important factor In
the winter care Of house plants. We
unconsciously get into the habit Of
watering our house plants after a GER
tain fashion, and we are likely to keep
on doing the same thing the year
around. This is wrong. The amount
of water we use should be determined
by the need the plant has for 1t. When
it is growing vigorously. 1t will re-
quire considerably more than when
nearly at a standsttll, or entirely DOR
mant. II we disregard this fact and
continue to deluge our plants when
they are not in condition to take care
of generous supply, it stands to rea-
son that we are pretty sure to injure
them.
The nearest thing to rule that
have ever ventured to give, relative
to plant watering, Is this: Watch
your plants and when the soil in the
pot looks dry on the surface, apply
water and use enough to saturate all
the soil in the pot (you can tell about
this by little running of through
the drainage hole in the bottom OF the
pot). Then wait until the surface soil
locks dry again before applying more
water.
If this Is done, there will be no dan
ger from overwatering, neither will
there be any danger from lack Of wa
ter. The appearance of the surface
will always indicate the condition Of
the soil below and tell you when moro
water IL required, but this Of course,
makes 1t necessary for you to govern
your water supply by the appearance
Of each plant, and does not mean an
indiscriminate treatment in which ill
are treated alike every time water Is
supplied.-Eben Rexford.

Perspective Of Rat-Proof Corn Crib,
showing Concrete Foundation by
Dotted Lines.
If the ground is we'll drained. dirt
floor in. the driveway will answer very
we'll. If the floor is Of concrete. 1t will
also serve as a feeding floor for hogs.
A wood floor should not be used. as 1t
would harbor rats.
The details Of construction can be
used in building cribs of greater or
less dimensions or of a different type.
The devices for vent1lating and rat
prooflng can be used in new cribs or In
remodeling old structures. A concrete
foundation Ii put In for all or the
walls. This foundation should ex-
tend from below the frost level to 3
inches above ground for the outer wall
and to inches above for the inner
WALL The space between the founda-
ton walls should be filled in with well
tamped cinders or gravel, and on top
Of this base a concrete floor laid. The
difference in height above ground be-
tween the inner and the outer con-
crete foundations will give 2-inch
pitch to the floor toward the outer
edge, and thus drain off water that
may beat through the walls OF the
crib. The cinders or gravel under
meath the floor prevent moisture ris-
ing from the ground through capil-
larry action. The floor itself should be
constructed Of 4 inches Of reinforced
concrete. with the surface troweled to
C. smooth finish.
II concrete driveway Is decided
upon, s inches of gravel or cinder
floor should be first tamped down and
a 4-inch concrete floor with a foat
finish laid on top.
The iron sockets or joist hangers
which can readily be obtained on the
market, should be set in while the
concrete floor is being laid. The
