Light Needed on River Road.

4 suggestion worthy of consideration
has been made regarding the installation
of electric lights from the Raleigh
place on River road to the Fort Hill
railroad station. Even as small mum
Der as four lights placed in the most
needed spots would greatly facilitate
travel, especially those who walk to
and from the station. There are many
people who avail themselves of the
advantages of train service there at
night who would greatly appreciate
some lights on this dark road leading
there, and while there is no article in
the town warrant regarding the matter
it is probable that favorable action
would follow the suggestion if made at
the meeting.

GUARD CHARTS FROM ENEMY
Employees of Photographic Office
Work at Top Speed in Turning Out
Maps for Naval Officials.

Employees of the photographic Of
flee in Washington are being driven at
top speed in turning out maps and
charts for the benefit of the naval of
f1cials. Special attention is being given
to the charts of harbors which have
been mined. Each chart that is pre-
pared shows the exact location of the
mines. All told, there are some 1,500
charts on which the Office has been at
work since the severing of diplomatic
relations with Germany. 1t has been
found necessary to make minor
changes in many of the original charts
in the files of the Office.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent the charts from falling into
the hands of German agents or SYM
pathizers. The printers are required
to account for every sheet of paper
they use. If there is slight inac-
curacy In the printing the damaged
sheet is destroyed. The printer, with
an official of the department as wit
ness, goes to the engine room and
throws the damaged sheet into the
fire.

closely together as possible. There are
several influences which effect the
placing of the different buildings with
respect to one another. These inf1u-
ences primarily determine the relative
position Of the buildings and second
arily determine the distance which
they should be apart as well as their
distance from the house.
In the first place, the position Of the
group of the buildings as whole is Ge-
pendent upon the location of highways,
the topography of the land and method
of farming the land. The buildings
should be as handy to the highway as
possible, since the entrance lane should
be paved with some material which
will prevent its becoming impossible in
case of heavy rains. The longer this
lane is, of course, the more it will cost
to pave it.
The buildings should however, be
far enough from the highway so that
dust will not be annoying. The tOpOg-
raphy of the land has its influence be-
cause of the fact that it will effect the
ease with which buildings may be
erected, especially as regards their
foundations; it may cause poor ar
rangement of buildings because of diff
ficulties existing at positions where
buildings really belong especially due
to drainage and it may necessitate
heavy hauls in getting the produce into
the storage structure from the fields.
The method of farming the land refers
to the relation in position of the titled
part of the form to the central group
of buildings. The position of the
group should be such that the haul
from all of the producing field will
sum I'D to a minimum, taking into ac-
count the difficulty of the haul as well
as the distance A further influence in
this connection is the direction of pre-
vailing winds. The house and its sur
rounding buildings should be so To-
Gated that under ordinary conditions
the wind will carry disagreeable
odors, such as those given off by GER
tain of the fertilizers, away from then
position. Conditions effecting the pO-
sition of the group will doubtless con-
f1ict in many cases, and the farmer
must then determine which of the con
ficting conditions should be given the
preference.
Having located the group at posi-,
| ton which best meets the conditions
mentioned, the next consideration is
the arrangement of buildings within
the group. AS a general rule, the
| farmer likes to have his buildings sc
arranged that it is possible to see all
of them from the house. This arrange
ment undoubtedly has its advantages
especially back and forth between the
house and the stables, it is an advan
tage to locate these buildings as neal
the house as possible without setting
up difficulties due to the transmission
of disagreeable odors or difficulties il
moving machines and vehicles through
the farmyard. When the stables are

fairly close to the house it is possible
to quickly hear any disturbance among
the stock.
Drainage affects the arrangement of
buildings since in order to obtain salts
factory drainage each building must
be placed where the soil conditions
and lay of the land are best suited for
the purpose. The passage of sunlight
must not be obstructed. Sunlight is
the best disease preventer the farmer
can obtain and his buildings must be
arranged and placed to take advantage
of it. Another influence is the condi-
ton on which insurance rates are es-
tabliShed. Of course, the same cOndi-
tions which reduce insurance rates in
crease the safety of the farmer.
The buildings which are entered
| most frequently should be closer to the
house than those which are not so fire.
quently entered. For instance, the i'm
plement shed need not be as close to
the house as the dairy, provided it is
located in the direction which will be
| taken in drawing the implements to
the field. The granary should be
handy to the stables and provided with
paved driveway connected with the
highway either directly or by way of
the house. Perhaps the greatest
amount of labor in the farm group cen
ters around the general barn and, there
fore, the smaller buildings should be
placed after this more important struc-
ture has been given consideration.
Some farmers use a combination of
barns to house their live stock. The OBJ
ject is probably 20 definitely separate
the horses from the cows more than
anything else. The illustrations show
a perspective view and plan of a two,
barn combination. The barns are in
tended to be built on the north and
south line, with the open side of the
shelter shed on the south. The shelter
shed is inclOsed on three sides and the
two siloS close up the front opening
about 35 or 40 feet. Altogether the two
barns, sheds and inclOsed barnyard oc
cupy a space so by 1876 feet.
One barn is arranged for horses anG
the other barn is for cows, the patio il
the center being used as an exercising
space for both. 1t is fact that in use
the COWS occupy this center space 6
good deal of the time. In fact, dairy
men have discovered that cows may
be cared for just as well in a shelter
shed and that they are better off be

Storage EGGS.


The assertion by dealers that latter
all there is nothing injurious about
storage-irst egg-in fact, it is as good
as fresh egg" is not borse out by
so good an authority as DIR. Harvey W.
Wiley, who, when questioned on the
stand in Washington on the subject of
eggs that had been in storage six
months, said
1.-THE amount of nutriment would
probably be diminished by a very con-
siderable quantity. 1t would be just
slightly less nutritious, but the princi-
pal lack of nutrition, in my opinion,
would be in the impaired taste: that
the digestive ferments would not re-
spond so promptly to the stimulus Of
the food. That is very important
physiological consideration"

carefully looked over, washed, then
soaked overnight and cooked in the
same water in which they are soaked.
An onion may be added for flavor or
few allspice, some dried herbs and
celery seed tied in q muslin. Care
should be used in cooking vegetable

foods, both need low temperature to
keep them from becoming hardened.
Use only the water seeded to cook the
vegetables, allowing none to waste.

"I should say they did, said one
poor little Sand Fairy, who had been
knocked over and over all the time
the Sea Fairies and the wind had been
talking. For the breaker boats had
gone on with many of the other Sea
Fairies in them. The Sea Fairies
wore their fluffy white dresses and
their green shoes and stockings. Such
gorgeous green shoes and stockings
as they were! And their collars and
hats were like glorious white ruf1es-
all made by old Mother Ocean.
"All of the Sea Fairies were now
back in their boats and how the

They roared with the fun, and the low,
deep voice of Mother Ocean murmured
all the time:
""That is right, my children; en-
joy yourselves. You are so beautiful,
so young, so active. 1t does my old
watery heart good to see you
"And the Sea Fairies went on rolling
back and forth in the breaker boats.
"They tossed over the sand by the
shore and the Sand Fairies who had
come out to play with them were
moved this way and that. But they
liked it, for the breaker boats like the
Sand Fairies and sometimes bring
them queer gifts from old Mother
Oceans storeroom, deep down in the
sea.
''And while the Sea Fairies and the
Sand Fairies were enjoying the Won
derful breaker boats, the children by
the shore were saying:
"'Oh, how high the breakers are
todayr"

Perhaps there is not enough 'atten-
ton paid to the arrangement of farm
buildings with respect to one another.
The subject of interior arrangement
OF barns has been given a great deal
of consideration during recent years,
and some very gratifying results have
been obtained. The development of
barn planning has gone hand in hand
with the rapid development of farm
building equipment. The aim of the
entire movement has been to provide
increased facilities for handling the
work and at the same time improve the
conditions under which live stock are
housed. OF course, the result must in
every case take into account the profit
made by the farmer.
While developments are still to be
expected in barn planning, there is
also the urgent need of careful plan
| ming of the farm itself. Time saved
in the buildings should not be wasted
between buildings. The answer is not,
however, to crowd the buildings as
