A certain publishing house in Lon

Is mere than one Madison In the Unit

cost a University of Wisconsin pro-
fessor a large amount of anxiety, for
it involved a valuable manuscript on
which he had spent months of labor.
The manuscript is a translation of
Lucretius' works prepared by Prof.
William Ellery Leonard Of the English
department and visiting professor this
year Of New York university, sent to
London for publication in the Every
man Library. When the manuscript
was sent back to him with the first
proof sheets, it was addressed "Madi-

but after weeks of search the postal
authorities found it and returned it to
the anxious author.

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
IL Greatly Stimulates Growth OF Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter killing

By NJ. F. MILLER. Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
Every year sees a greater number or
Missouri farmers using anu as q
top dressing on wheat. There Is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat is grown In q rotation, manure
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage rs to q top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one Is
that 1t greatly stimulates the growth
OF the wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with a resulting increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sewn with
the wheat and since n aids very
greatly In securing q stand OF these
crops when used as q top dressing with
the wheat, this alone nay be sufficient
reason for its application. AS a mat
ter Of fact the top dressing Of wheat
with manure almost insures a stand of
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops The land may
be too sour or too wet to grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. If
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting a clover stand,
If 1t Is very sour, lime is usually es.
sential in addition.

BEGIN POULTRY LICE FIGHT
Effective Powder Can Be Made at
Home by Using cresoI, carbolic
Acid and Gasoline.

A very good lice powder for use on
poultry may be made ut home from in
gradients that, when bought separate
ly, will cost little as compared with
the expense of commercial lice pow
der made Of the same or similar mate
rails. One Of the best of these home
made powders is prepared by mixing
u pint of cresol, or the same quantity
Of strong, crude carbolic acid, with
three pints of gasoline. To this is
added, while stirring, just enough plas-
ter of paris to take up the liquid. 1t
will take about ten pounds of plaster
for the amounts Of cresol and gasoline
given. Larger or small amounts may
be prepared by increasing or decreas-
ing the three Ingredients proportion
ately. After making this powder it
should be kept in a well-covered recep-
tacle to keep 1t from losing strength.
The best way to apply the powder is
to put 1t into a sitting box made by
punching small holes into a
tin can, and, holding the bird by the
feet, head downward, sift the powder
well into the flua.

Most farmers do not care to allow
the money they spend in farm ma
chinery to be wasted by the rapid dete.
%rioration of this machinery from ex-
posure to the clements. Quite often
it is possible to give up a portion of
n of the barns to the implement
storage space. The combined horse
barn and implement shed is q common
and useful structure. There are adj
-antages in building an entirely sep
urate structure for housing the farm
implements. AS a rule there are
enough duties to be performed in con
nection with the maintenance of farm
machinery to warrant the cOnstruc-
ton of a separate building. A farm
workshop is a necessary thing and the
implement shed furnishes an excellent
location for 1t.
The type of structure will depend
to a certain extent upon the farm up
on which it Is located, but there are q
few things which should be included
In such a structure, no matter what its
surroundings. The floor construction
and the arrangement and size of doors
should be given considerable attention
The design illustrated here suggests a
structure which Is well adapted to the
purpose, and the cost of its erection
Is not excessive.
1t Is "a feet in width by SO feet In
length. There Is a 16-foot door in each

small assortment OF cold chisels,
punches, hammers, wrenches and tongs,
will enable a farmer to do a good deal
of blacksmith tinkering and save many
trips to town during the busy season,
when time is an object.
A few carpenters tools, such as
saws, a square, a couple Of good heavy
hammers, with a brace and bits and a
few wrenches and half a dozen chisels
will give a handy farmer enough tools
to do extensive repairing.
Farm machinery and implements
are made with standard patterns SO
that repairs may be ordered for almost
any implement manufactured. There
are so many different patterns that
mistakes may occur in filing an order,
so it Is u good plan to get all such
orders off to the factory a long time
before the machines are needed. The
difference between preparing a good
seeded in the spring or doing a hur-
ry-up job at the flag end Of the seed
ing season depends more upon manage
ment in this respect than upon hard
work or extensive seeding outfits.
A good implement shed is a valuable
acquisition to any farm, because 1t
places a farmer in q position to attend
to little things at the proper time to
prevent trouble later.
In building an implement shed 1t Is
a good plan to use plenty Of concrete
in the foundation. and If 1t has a con-
crete floor the full size of the build
ing, the machines may be moved about
much easier.
The object of a machinery shed is to
protect farm implements and machines
from the weather. If machines stand
on the ground, moisture comes up from
below sufficient at times to rust every
iron part Of a machine that is not COW
cred with paint, oil or grease.
A floor for the purpose of preventing
this damage should be made the way
q sidewalk is constructed. The ground
is laid off in divisions A or 5 feet In
width by 2-by-4 that is held In place
by stakes. The top Of the 2-by-4 is
| leveled so the concrete when filed in
and tamped and properly surfaced with
a layer Of cement mortar is struck of
level with the top Of the 2-by-4 guide.

and 1t has a concrete focr to keep the
tools and machinery up from the
ground and to keep them dry to pre-
vent rusting.
The sides and ends are built In the
usual way by using a light sill and
2-by-4 studding covered with drop sid
ing or clapboards. The roof is con-
structed by 2-by-4 rafters with matched
roofing boards covered with roll roof
ing. The advantage In using matched
roofing boards Is to prevent the wind
from Tapping the roll roofing. Good
roofing boards will sometimes double
the lasting qualities Of the roof.

shop in one end or In the center. The
shop Is provided with a blacksmith kit
