Pidskin Is Wasted.

Pigskin's value for number of pur-
poses is well recognized. And it is
employed to a limited extent, but not
as staple leather. Shoe manufac-
turers, however, are said to be seeking
ways to utilize it in their business, and
doubtless they would employ great
quantities of it in place of cowhide and
calfskin, but for it's scarcity.
That swine could be made poten-
tial supply of leather is indicated by
the United States department of agri-
cultures estimate that there are up
wards of 100000 of these animals
on American farms today. Yet the
output of pigskin leather is negligible.
Foderal statistics show that at only
seven of the principal stock yards of
the country last year more than o.
100000 hogs were marketed. Yet all
of that pigskin was wasted.

ACID POISONING!


The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause of govt and rheumatism, that
this uric acid poison is present in the
joints, muscles, or nerves. BY expert
menting and analysis at the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a combina-
ton Of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid
from the system, and in this way the
pain, swelling and inflammation subside
If you are sufferer from rheumatism
backache, pains here or there, you can OBJ
tain Anuric, double strength, at any drug
store for go cents. and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric acid:
or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg Anu
rlc which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid
almost as hot water melts sugar A short
trial will convince you. Send sample of
your water to DR.. Pierce and it will be
tested free of charge.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

The farmer who is in the habit of
getting his moneys worth in an invest
ment, considers five things before he
accepts the design of barn. These
things are appearance, economy, prac-
ticability, convenience and santa
ton.
A well-lighted, handsome appearing,
practical building on the farm is a
good investment because it gives add
ed value to the property in the eyes
of a prospective buyer. Correct de-
sign is of utmost Importance in obtain
ing the desired quality Of good APP
pearance, although the exterior finish
and relation of the building to other
buildings Of the group must be given
consideration in this connection. The
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-11-16

roof of the building is largely re-
sponsible for the appearance and it
should be proportional with this idea
in mind, but the storage capacity is
very often of greater Importance than
the appearance. Properly designed
dormers can often be used to obtain
a pleasing appearance, where the roof
surface is large. One of the easiest ways
to obtain attractive appearance is to
mount a good type of modern venti
lator on the roof, at as many points as
there is need for them; and in addi-
ton to the appearance, this equipment
is considered absolutely necessary
from the standpoint of healthy stock,
among the farmers "who know"
Economy consists in using the least
wall area, minimum of non-useful
floor space, saving of building >materi-
ais wherever possible, reduction of
heat loss through the walls, all re-
sulting in a saving Of money both in
construction of the building and In it's
subsequent use. Sometimes there is
too little money invested in farm build
ings, in which case the labor cost of
maintaining the stock is excessive.
There should be balance struck be-
tween the labor cost of doing the farm
work and the interest on the money
invested in bulldogs constructed for
the purpose of reducing this labor
cost.
Practicability consists in proper di-
mansions of stalls, passages, doors,
cutters, hay-racks, posts, beams, brac-
ing and other parts. This considera-
ton is that which makes it advisable
to consider each building for the par
ticular conditions under which it is
to be used. The buildings should be
large enough to accommodate a bump
er crop and as much stock as the farm
will profitably maintain. Remember
that it is far more expensive to add to
building than it is to make it large
enough in the first place..
There is great difference in the
convenience of barns. Such things as
the arrangement for feeding, layout of
feed and litter passages, facing Of an

There are feed racks running the
whole length of the stock shed. Over
these feed racks are chutes to let the
hay or other roughage down from the
big NOW so that the racks are easily
filled at feeding time. At the same
time hay is let down in the feeding
alley on the side of the barn for the
dairy cows. It is better not to have
any direct connection between the cow
stable and the overhead storage. Hay
for the horses and straw for horse
bedding is put down another chute in
the horse wing.
Placing the silO at one corner Of the
barn makes it easy to feed silage to
all of the live stock, because of the
manner in which the different alleys
branch off and extend LII different di-
rectiohs to reach the hangers.
It would be difficult to build better
farm barn where accommodation is
wanted for horses and dairy COWS and
young stock or beef cattle in one
general farm stock barn. 1t holds a
great amount of rough fodder, because
of the depth of the hay bay. When
hay is put into saee storage NOW
in the summer time AZ refilled later,
the height is sufficient to settle the
hay very solid in the bottom, SO that
the space between the ground and the
roof in the center part Of this build
ing will hold large quantity of hay.
Considering the size of the barn, 60
by "a feet, it is cheap barn to build.
The construction is very simple. The
center part is built with uprights
which reach to the plate and the wings
are added like sheds, with the excep-
ton that a solid concrete foundation
reaches all the way around which
makes the barn permanent. Such a
foundation adds a great deal to the
value of the building, both in service
and looks.
