GREATER STEEL OUTPUT.
Increase in Production at Steel Plants
AS Result of War Cloud
Over u. S.

Steel plant operators are inCreas-
ing their pace i'll production, and
all the plants both in the East and
West are reported to be rushing
their outputs at a feverish pace.
The prospect of this country be
coming an active participant III i he
European war in the near future
has led to increased anxiety on the
part of domestic consumers to get
their orders placed. 1t is regarded
as certain that orders from the
American government for mtini-
tiOns and various supplies will be
on a large scale and they will ma
turally be accorded precedence over
ordinary business. With plants
booked up for months ahead, OPP
orators are carefully scrutin2ing all
inquiries for products and anything
adjudged to at all SAVIOR of an option
is being promptly turned down.
That present prices are not thought
to be artificial by any means is re
earded as evidenced in the placing
of finished steel contracts requiring
the completion of specifications in
the last half of this year for ma
terial to be delivered in the last
half of 1918. In these instances
the purchasers have given evidence
that they count on prices being
sustained for a considerable period
ahead. In the meantime they have
covered their requirements.
The placing Of fresh business on
a large scale by the new Russian
government is now expected in
view Oft announcement that the
raising of loans on a large scale is
being planned by it.
Increased buying of cars and
rails by the railroads is also eN-
pected New inquiries for more
than O.0OO cars came out during
the last week. Several other large
inquiries are also said to be pend
ing
Steel prices are still going up
and experts say that the top has
not by any means been reached yet,
taking indications for it. During
the last week the average price OF
eight leading steel products was
advanced Sill, bringing the aver
age up TO S84 68, a new record high
mark. Advances in prices of pro-
ducts not employed in computing
this average affected nearly all
grades of pig iron American and
foreign shipyards are in the mar
ket heavily for materials to be de
livered late this year and in the
first half of 1918. Some OF the
domestic yards are reported to be
Offering bonuses of SO and $50
per ton to secure preferred ship
ments.
Present expectations are that the
earnings of the United States Steel
for the current year
will far surpass those of 1915. The
5 report for last year
that 48.4 40 per cent was
earned on the common stock, the
surplus coming to SILL
551,730. Experts in close touch
with its operations contend that
the results for the current year are
certain to be ahead OF anything
that could have been counted upon
seven or eight months ago. They
estimate that earnings equal to 100
per cent OH the corporation 5 com
mon stock will be shown for the
two years 1916 and 1917.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-05-18

several influences which effect the
placing Of the different buildings with
respect to one another. These infiu-
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
off 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 it's 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 b@ 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 a 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 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-
yailing winds. The house and its sur
rounding buildings should be so To-
Gated that under ordinary conditions
fine wind will carry disagreeable
odors. such as those given off by GER
tain of the fertilizers, away from their
nosition. Conditions effecting the POI
sition of the group will doubtless con-
f1fct in many cases, and the farmer
must then determine which of the con-
flicting conditions should be given the
preference.
Having located the group at a posi-
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-05-18

ton which best meets the conditions
mentioned, the next consideration is
the arrangement of buildings withia
the group. As a general rule, the
farmer likes to have his buildings So
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 near
the house as possible without setting
up difficulties due to the transmission
of disagreeable odors or difficulties in
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 INSTRUCTED. 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 cOndf-
ton on which insurance rates are es-
tablished. OF course, the same condi-
tons 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.
quenrly entered. For instance, the inn
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
a 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
| tiers 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 to 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 space so by 1876 feet.
One barn is arranged for horses and
the other barn is for cows, the patio in
the center being used as an exercising
space for both It is a fact that in use,
the cows occupy this center space a
good deal of the time. In fact, dairy
men have discovered that cows may
be cared for just as we'll in q shelter
shed and that they are better off be-
cause OF the freedom, exercise and
fresh air
When beef cattle are kept instead OF
dairy cows, the plan works out just as
well. The cows are stood in the stable
at night and left until after milking
time in the morning, while beef cattle
are stood in the stable just long
enough to eat their silage and grain.
All roughage would be fed from the
racks in the shelter shed.
Both silos and all the feed alleys are
connected by means of an overhead
track, and a feed carrier runs every
where, so that any kind of fodder or
grain from the silos or feed rooms may
be taken directly to any stall or any
feed rack in the shelter shed.
One important feature is the water
trough in the center of the open shell
ter shed, accessible to either horses or
cattle. Because there is more or less
dampness around the water trough.
drainage must be provided to carry
away the surplus.

The five thousand dollar check from

credit. On the strength of the de-
post he borrowed money at the bank

he could pay his debts, he postponed
