STRAW SHED FOR LIVE STOCK

CT ~~s~n"s N".r,@ Protection

A stable that will protect from cold

place for her to stand and room to
get behind her for milking, cleaning,
etc. Young stock will need about half
as much space. A barn 16x90 feet or
one S2x45 will furnish room enough for
twenty cows and ten head OF young
stock.
A straw shed for cattle should be
seven or eight feet high The construc-
ton of such buildings is very simple,
Posts are usually set In the ground
eight to twelve feet apart, and strong
tmbers put on top of these with poles
close enough together to carry the
straw on top of the timbers. Walls
are constructed by making two walls
two or more feet apart and packing
with straw. These walls may be made
of poles boards or woven wire, as de-
sired
Hogs viii require from ten to If
teen square feet of floor space each
in straw shed. Fifty hogs will re-
quire shed about 20x30 feet In size.
1t is better to keep the hogs in a sep
arate building from the cattle The
shed for hogs need not be more than
four or i've feet high II is advisable
to make the walls tight, using woven
wire, or something equally good, so the
hogs will not work out through the
wall.

GOOD POULTICES FOR TREES
Simple Remedy Described by Writer
VIII Save Many Valuable Trees
Grating 10 Difficult.

Nowadays we hear much of bridge
grating when fruit tree gets barked
or bruised But everybody is not
equal to doing a good job of grating
of this kind.
My method is not fancy, says writ.
er in an exchange, but It does the
trick. lust as soon as the injury has
happened to a fruit tree ! get some
perfectly fresh COW manure and plas-
ter it all over the wound, then band
age the trunk carefully and tightly
with a gunny sack or burlap and Sc
cure the bandage by sewing. ! then
place coat Of fresh manure over the
outside Of the bendage and protect the
treated bandage fron rain until it be
comes hard and dry.
A tree thus treated never will know
it has been injured if there Is a small
strip of bark to conduct the sap by the
injured place.
When the treated bandage gets dry
It becomes solid and lasting as q plank,
and allows quick and perfect recov-
cry OF the injured part. This simple
remedy will save many valuable trees.

SLOPE FOR PEACH ORCHARDS
Importance OF Relatively High Eleva-
ton Disappears When Adjacent
to Large Body of Water.

Where an orchard occupies a site
that is adjacent to a large body OF wa.
ter, the importance OF a relatively
high elevation largely disappears To
be factor in the matter, however, a
body of water must be OF sufficient
size and depth to have an apprecia
Bile influence on the local climate Be-
cause the water warns up in the
spring more slowly than the atmos-
phere, it acts in effect as a refrgera-
tor making the temperature in its
immediate vicinity colder than it is at
points somewhat distant from it, For
this reason, vegetation within the zone
OF this influence advances more slowly
in the spring than 1t does outside Of
that zone. The tendency is for the
blossoming of peach trees situated
within sle zone to be delayed until
after the season of spring rrosts is
past
In the fall frosts are delayed in
similar manner except that the large
body of water, having absorbed. much
heat during the summer, cools Off in

but one attraction for Eustace. The
two trees beneath which he and
Elaine, boy and girl, had plighted their

spot became mecca to Eustace. Un.

sit for hours, dreaming of his absent
sweetheart wondering If she had
changed, himself SO true to her mem.
DRY that no other woman had ever won
him to a smile of fondness.
He doubted il he would ever see
Elaine again. He wondered If she had
forgotten him and had married. 1t

his world worship and money pride, to
esteem an alliance with some titled
foreigner, and Elaine was beautiful as

SPECIAL RULES FOR PRUNING
Weak-Growing Varieties May Be

Soils Favor Growth.

(By PROF U. p HEDRICk, Geneva
Experiment Station)
In pruning for wood the following
rules are usually applicable Weak
growing varieties may always be
pruned generously, strong growing
kinds lightly; varieties which branch
ieely need little pruning, those hav-
ing unbranching limbs should be
pruned more severely; rich, deep soils
favor growth, prune trees in such
soils lightly; in shallow sandy soils
trees produce short shoots, and the
wood should be closely cut.
