WIND-PROOF STOCK SHELTER
1t Should Be Made Strong Enough to
Withstand Any Wind-Set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing a stock shelter in
an open field particular care should
be taken to make it substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
of a tornado. A little foresight in
this regard may save the loss Of valu-
able animals at some later time. To
this end the posts should be firmly
set, preferably in cement, and the
upper framework should be snugly
bolted or spiked together.
If the three inclosed sides are COM
posed Of loose boards, set on end at
an angle Of As degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst a
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to elbow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to
occur in such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with it's top
as well as its sides heavily straw-cov-
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though it's sides had
been nailed firmly in place. With its
open side toward the south it will
prove weather-proof, warn and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

a type of construction adapted for
modern conditions. In his biennial re-
port he has this to say: "During the
early existence Of the department,
macadam roads constituted as much as
30 per cent of the mileage constructed.
AS the use Of the automobile became
more widespread, the percentage Of
macadam roads built each year de-
creased owing to the excessive cost Of
maintaining this type under the auto
mobile traffic. Within the past two
years, however, water-bound macadam
roads have been again growing in
favor because it has been found pos
sible with q bituminous surface treat
ment to maintain them in a condition
comparable in the point of service to
the higher types Of roads. The first
treatment, which is made after the
road has seasoned" by opening it to
traffic for three or four months, is es-
sentially a part of the initial cost of
construction, and can be applied at a
cost Of about five cents per square
yard, or not to exceed $500 per mile
for q 16-foot road. Thereafter the road
can be maintained in a satisfactory
condition with a yearly treatment at
a cost Of about three cents per square
yard"

GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
improbable That 1t Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
it pays to grind oats or corn for horses,
and which would give best results,
Prof. B. e. Carmichael Of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
ut is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting in cases where the horses
r at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even in instances of this kind
it is not at all certain that profit will
always result from this rather expen-
siye operation. Soaking corn that is
exceedingly dry and hard is advisable.
AS a general thing it seems that it is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
of good quality, approximately equal
in feeding value per pound for horses.
eff there is a tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
it would be worth while to devise a
method Of feeding that would render
it impossible for the feed to be eaten
so rapidly. Mixing a small amount Of
bran or chaffed hay with the grain
might be of assistance, or the same
result might be accomplished by put
ting large pebbles in the feed box. 1t
is well to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
is evidence that the feed is poorly
masticated.

PRAISE FOR IMPROVED ROAD
Stimulate Friendly Rivalry Among
Farmers to Keep Highways in
Best Possible Condition.

A w~ell-dragged road in front of the
farm is a great satisfaction to the
owner, but why not give him the add.
tional satisfaction Of letting him know
that you appreciate what he has done
as you drive by? Why not tell him
what you think and help establish a
prize for the best-dragged piece of
road? There are few ways in which
a little money will bring bigger re-
suits in road work than in stimulating
friendly rivalry among the workers. A
careful use Of the drag may save the
use of the road grader.

Good Type of Self Feeder.

a be protected from the weather."
said Mr.. Gatewood. Charcoal Is best
fed from the hopper or self-feeder, so
as to prevent waste.
1T is a common practice to burn
cobs until the cob is well charred,
and then the fire is smothered and the
hogs are given access to this. Some
people char their cobs in a pit, and
when the fire has gained good head
way, the top Of the pit is covered with
a piece Of sheet metal, and then COW
cred with dirt to keep out the air. The
charcoal can then be used as 1t is
needed. It is advisable to add salt to
the charcoal as it makes 1t more pal
atable, and is also especially good for
the hogs"

Italy Absolves u. S. for
Firing on Submarine

WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The Italian
government regards the act of firing
upon an Italian submarine by an Amer
lean patrol vessel, with the loss of two
Italian lives, as a sad occurrence, but
one in which no blame attaches TO the
Americans, it was learned to-day.
All Italian commanders have been
informed of the signals which they
must make and answer, and the ne
elect of the commander Of the sub
marine TO respond to the American
boats signal is the cause, in the Of
fetal Italian view, Of the accident.
The fact that Italian submarines
are operating almost exclusively in
the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas
led 10 the belief that the American
destroyers also are in southern waters,
cooperating with the British, French,
Italian and japanese patrol vessels in
the Mediterranean.
In naval circles, where nothing would
be said that might indicate the To-
cality Of the accident. it was thought
improbable that the Italian submarine
was one Of the many built in American
