STRAW SHED FOR LIVE STOCK
Satisfactory and inexpensive Method
of Securing Ample Protection
for Farm Animals.

A stable that will protect from cold
cd with little expense when straw is
plentiful. Each cow, If to be tied.
needs about fifty square feet of floor
space to allow for manger, feed alley,
place for her to stand and DON to
get behind her for milking. cleaning,
etc. Young stock will need about half
as much space. A barn 1GX90 feet or
one 32X45 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
timbers 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 will require from ten to fiji.
teen square feet of floor space each
in a straw shed. Fifty hogs will re.
quire a 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 five feet high. 1t is advisable
to make the walls tight, using woven
wire, or something equally good, SO the
hogs will not work out through the
wall.

til it evaporates. In most cases it is
cheaper to get the water away from
the road than to try to lift the road
out of it.
Sometimes roads IN the hillsides
are left without side bitches. This is
a mistake. for if any road needs a
ditch it is the one on a hillside. for
where there are no bitches the water
runs along the middle Of the road and
wears gullies and as we all know.
makes a bad road.
The roads should be so crowned
that water can reach the tile or
bitches. If all ruts and mudholes are
filled. the water will have a better
chance to run off. There are several
machines made to keep the roads in
shape and these need to be used often
and at the right time. 1t is not neces.
sary to spend half a day in trying to
get hold OF a road commissioner to
help open a culvert or let the water
out of a hole in the road. Better
spend the time in doing it yourself and
you will feel better and your neigh.

GUARD AGAINST MUsTY OATS
When Fed Continuously There Is Like
Iihood That Severe Intestinal
Troubles May Result.

Many state experiment stations are
warning the farmers to beware of
feeding their stock. especially the
horses. musty oats during the coming
winter. When fed continuously there
is great likelihood that severe intes-
final trouble and probably blind stag.
gers may result.
Blind staggers is a disease caused
by mold which thrives on denied corn,
damp barley, oats and spoiled feeds Of
all kind. When it is necessary to feed
grain in this condition a little common
salt should be given with the grain at
all feelings.
Wherever the animals show any ten
dency towards constipation, admins
ter one-half ounce of fluid extract of
aloes or one-half pound of EPSON salts
as a drench. Clean hay and fresh wa
ter and salt are excellent in easing
the effects from such grain.

PROPER ATTENTION
TO DAIRY UTENSILS
All Pals and Cans Should Be
Heavily Timed and Seams
Covered With Solder.

(Dy P. BENNETCH. West Virginia EN-
pertinent Station1
One of the most frequent sources OF
contamination in milk lies in the lm'
proper care of utensils. All milk pals
and cans should be heavily timed and
all scans covered up with solder so
that there are no lodging places for
dirt, or crevices that are hard to clean.
Rusty utensils should v be used
in handling milk, since is is impossi-
BILE to clean them thoroughly. All
dippers. pals. strainers, cans, ETC.,
should be rinsed with cold water to
which some washing powder has been
added. In tt1 washing process a brush
should be used rather than a cloth,
as the cloth soon absorbs the milk,
and becomes filthy. After washing,
the utensils should be rinsed thorough
ly with steaming hot water. Do not
dry them with a cloth; instead, in
cline them on a clean shelf over pegs,
SO that the water will drain off read
lily. If the utensils are allowed to
drain out of doors the shelf or rack
should be at least four feet from the
ground and in a location where they
are not exposed to dust.
The Importance of the sterilizing
process, while well understood by mos
people, is quite frequently overlooked
While milk vessels may look perfectly
clean after having been mashed, they
may still be contaminated with bac'
terra. These bacteria can be destroyed
only by proper sterilization, such as is
obtained by exposing the vessels to a
boiling temperature for some length
of time. Where only a small amount
of milk is handled steam is very often
not available and in such cases the
simplest method Of sterilizing Is tc
place tho vessels in boiling water for
five minutes.
Every farmers wife knows the
germicidal effects Of sunshine. and
takes. advantage of it by placing hel
fruit jars where they are exposed tc
the sun. The same is true of mill
vessels, but too often they are placed
in the sun where they are also eX
posed h dust and flies.

CRATE.FED POULTRY
is MOST DESIRABLE
Fat Is Distributed Throughout
Tissues Of Entire Body, Thus
Making Flesh Tender.

Unfattened chickens are hard and
muscular. especially If they have
been permitted to range at will. Pen.
fattened birds-contined in small
quarters and fed heavily on CORR
are an improvement, but their fat is
usually deposited in Jumps in the
abdomen and ] layers on the intes'
tines, where much Of it is wasted in
dressing and cooking.
In crate-fed stock the fat is distrib-
uted throughout the tissues of the en-
tire body, thus making the flesh ten
der and sweet. This is the secret Of
the high quality produced by this proc.
eSS.
Anyone can successfully fatten
chickens in this manner if he will pay
attention to details. The work may
be conducted in a small way by the
individual producer or consumer, or
on a large scale by the commercial
f%attener. No one has a monopoly OF
the business; there are opportunities
for all.

LIGHT HEIFERS FOR FEEDING
Buyers Estimate Doubling Of Weight
by Next July or August as Result

The tendency to feed heifers still
prevails with many cattle feeders. En-
travagantly high prices. seemingly.
are being paid for light heifers to go
into the pastures and stalk fields to be
roughcd through the winter and then
corn fed on grass next summer for the
fat cattle market.
A doubling of weight by next July
or August is about the estimate these
buyers are figuring on as n ten months

any prove to be bred. they are no spe-
cial disappointment. as the calf with

GOOD
IMPROVE ROADS BY DRAINAGE
One Of the Most Important Matters to
Be Considered in Construction
of Public Highways.
(By D.. L. GATES, Illinols.)

By Z. L. GATES, IlIinois.)
When it comes to building roads
there are a good many problems to
solve and not easy ones at that. Rid
ing along in an auto 1t is easy enough
to say when you strike a smooth
stretch, this is fine" and turn on a
little more gas, but when you hit a
mudhole and ruts you may get your
foot on the wrong pedal and the road
commission catches 1t.
1t takes labor. time, good material
and money to have good roads. Every
one wants the roads, so we will all
have to work and spend some of our
time and money and boost for better
roads.
One OF the things most needed is
better drainage for the roads as well
as for the farms and at this time we
will confine this article to the subject
of drainage.
Drainage is the most important
matter to be considered in the con-
struction of roads. Drainage alone
will often change a bad road into a
good one while the best stone road
may be destroyed from a lack Of prop
er drainage.
There are three systems OF drainage
that we can use to advantage, and
these are undertakings, side bitches
and surface drainage.
Where water stands on a road un-
~derdrainage without any grading is
better than grading without under
drainage. Underdrainage is not to re-
move simply the surface water but its
greatest help is to lower the water lev
ell in the soil.
The action of the sun and wind will
finally dry the surface of the road but
il the foundation Is wet and soft the
wheels will wear ruts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass.
An undrained soil is a poor founda'
ton upon which to build roads as we'll
as anything else. When frost is leav.
ing the ground the thawing is quite
as much from the bottom as from the
ton, II underdrainage is provided the
water is Immediately removed.
The best and cheapest method to
secure underdrainage is to lay a line
of farm drain tile on one or both sides
of the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is necessary
to drain the road and to permit the
contracting parties to drain their
lands. This helps the roads and at
the same time is a great benefit tc
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to al
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water I'm

FLAVOR AND AROMA
In MAKING BUTTER
Quality Depends Largely on
Changes Made While Cream
Is in Ripening Process.

By the ripening of cream is meant
the changes it undergoes from the
time Of separation until it is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
ponds very largely the quality of but
ter as regards texture and flavor. The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the tirmness or texture,
while the flavor is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
in addition it increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream is rip
ened in n of two ways:
First, it sours or ripens as a result
of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk or cream;
or,
Second, it ripens as a result Of &C
ton Of certain kinds of bacteria which
are added in what is termed a start
er."

Road Draes for Upkeep.

The road drag is not an equipment
for constructing roads. but it is in
tended for upkeep. 1t should not TO-
any large quantity OF earth. but takes
Il small amount OF wet earth to or
away from the center OF the road. 1t
is important to remember that the
road drag does not build roads, but
helps to keep them in repair.

Sunshine is an amazingly potent
germicide for the farm ~housekeeper
and in the dairy and stables. The
practice Of exposing cooking and 9TH
er utensils used in connection with
food to direct sunlight. makes use of
this fact, although comparatively few
appreciate exactly the work done by
the sun in this regard. Probably only
those who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made real.

germs exposed to it. Hence the fol-

A pasty, creamy mass of tubercu.
lous material, which was proved to

material on the glass, wood, and mus

were proved to be fully capable O

person is apt to expectorate, proved
that the bacilli in such masses on
glass are still alive after 4, but en-
tirely dead in less than 5 hours, and
still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after S, but dead in less
than 16 hours.
The t%uberculous material in thin lay.
ers on glass, wood, and muslin, kept
in a dark room, was proved to con.
tain fully virulent, living tubercle ba.
cilli after 80 days. The contrast is
remarkable, tubercle bacilli of the
same kind Of material. dying in a
smaller number Of minutes in the sun
shine than the number of days they
remained alive in a dark room.
AS most varieties of disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germi-
cides than tubercle bacilli, and as tn.
bercle bacilli, in the thin layers in
which they are likely to adhere to
clothing, blankets. rugs, draperies,
furniture, walls, floors, etc, are killed
by the rays of the sun in less than
half an hour. though they remain alive
in dark places a month and longer, it
is reasonable to draw the following
conclusions:
(a) AS a general sanitary principle
it is desirable that all dwellings,, sta
bles, etc, should be so constructed
that an abundance of Sunshine can
reach their interiors.
81 AS a general protective meas
ure against disease germs, it is an
excellent practice to expose uten'
sils for handling milk. and milk cans
after they have been cleaned, to di'
rect sunlight, and to hang or spread
wearing apparel, blankets. bedding
rugs, horse blankets, etc, periodically
where the sun a shine on all parts
OF them.
