HOUSE CLEANING IN
BARN is ESSENTIAL
Just as Important for Farmer to
Have Periodical Bout With
Dirt as for Housewife.

CBy GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins
Colo.)
Every housekeeper, who deserves
the name, has general houseclean-
ing at least twice year. The car
pets come up and the curtains down,
and everything from the roof to the
floor in the furnace room is either
busted, scrubbed, vanished or paint
ed. With the farmers wife, spring
and fall hOusecleanlng is looked upon
as a duty that Is almost sacred and
is kept inviOlate.
But who ever heard of a farmer
having even an annual barn clean
ing? True the manure is hauled out,
usually in the sprlngtlme, In order to
make 1t possible to get the horses In
and out the door, but that is all.
If farmers would make 1t q regular
job to clean the premises once or
twice every year, infectious diseases
among farm animals could be con-
trolled, and the mortality Of @ to 10
per cent from calf scours, hog cholera,
blackleg, contagious abortion and
other diseases might be reduced to the
minimum.

WOMEN Do THE MEMS WORK
Girls are Taking the Jobs Formerly
Held by Male Students at Kan
sas University.

Ambitious Kansas boys and girls
probably will have better opportuni-
ties to work their way through the
University of Kansas the coming year
than ever before, because the war
has taken so many men students from
the University.
Women students are taking the
place Of men in some University jobs
now and in several instances elderly
women have come from homes to take
places formerly held by men students.
The department of journalism press
has been forced to employ women for
all it's bindery work and for other
work on University publications and
job orders. This work previously has
been done by men students. Charles
Baker, foreman of the journalism de-
partment press, says the women are
the better workers. Almost half the
total number Of men and women stu
dents of the University are self-sup-
porting and the University and resi-
dents of Lawrence have come to de-
pend largely on student workers. The
calling of many young men to the
army means those who attend school
will have better jobs to pick from and
that more girls will find chance to
work their way through school, OF
approximately 1,4O0 wholly or partly
self-supporting students in school last
winter, $50 were women.

All types of terraces are constructed
originally in the same way. The work
of construction should begin invariably
with the highest terrace in the field
and each terrace should be completed
before work Is started on the one next
below. The late fall and early winter
is the best time to lay out and build
terraces. If one has not time to ter
race his whole field well it is better to
construct well the first few terraces
near the upper side of the field than
to terrace the whole field poorly, for n
break in terrace near the upper side
Of the field is followed by breaks in
all below.
The terrace embankment can be
built up wholly with an ordinary turn
ing plow. A large 16-inch plOw with
an extra large wing attached to the
moldboard for elevating the dirt, Is an
effective implement for throwing up
high terrace bank. For broad terraces
burrows are thrown toward the center
line from each side for strip Is to 20
feet in width. Then, commencing at
the center again, the strip is plowed In
the same manner as before. This pro-
cedure is repeated until the terrace
has reached the desired height. Many
farmers allow the loose earth to be
settled by q rain between plOwlngs
so that the dirt wifi turn better. How
ever, it is safer to build the terrace to
the desired height at the start for, If
a heavy rain, sufficient to overtOp the
terrace, comes between plOwings,
much of the original work is undOne
and considerable damage occurs from
erosion. A disk plow can be used sue
cessfully to throw up loose dirt, and
the ordinary road grader Is employed
often and is adapted especially to
such work.
The most commonly used and cheap
est implement for throwing up ter.
race is q wooden, V-shaped drag.
After the first three or four burrows
have been plowed on each side of the
center line Of the terrace, the drag is
used to push the loose earth toward
the center and thus build the terrace
higher. The plowing is resumed and
the drag used again, and this Is done
repeatedly until the terrace has at
tained the desired width. If the ter
race is not built sufficiently high the
first time, the work is started again
ut the center and the plowing and
dragging are repeated. The longer
side of the drag is hinged so that for
the first few burrows the hinged por'
tion is allowed to swing loose. AS the
terrace increases in width, and 1t is
desired to move the loose earth a
greater distance, the removable brace
is set in position aud the hinged por-
tion is brought into use. The short
side of the drag is made to follow the

CHEAP IMPLEMENT FOR THROWING UP TERRACE.

open furrow; this holds the drag in the
proper position. The piece to which
the hitch is made should be set ut n
vertical angle with the shorter side,
and also ut horizontal angle. The
former tends to keep the short side
parallel with the bottom of the furrow
and the latter keeps the point pressing
slightly against the edge of the furrow
and prevents tendency of the drag
to jump out.
Graded terraces commonly are built
with a plOw and drag scraper. A
strip is plowed, as heretofore
described, and loose earth on the up
per half of the strip Is scraped up and
deposited on the lower half. BY this
method a channel Is constructed for
the flow of the water, and the earth
used to build up the embankment.
Maintenance and Cultivation.
A newly built terrace is susceptible
to failure until 1t becomes thorough
ly settled. For this reason 1t is not
advisable to cultivate the terrace the
first year. 1t should be sown to some
sort Of cover crop. Breaks In ter
races in the first year tend to dlscour-
age n novice In the use Of terraces, but
unless the embankment is built to an
abnormally large size breaks occur
often in newly made terraces. After
the terrace has been established per-
manently, the soil should be thrown
toward the center at each plowlng of
will increase the breadth and main
| tain the height of the terrace and the
field eventually will assume an ap-
pearance of a succession of prominent
waves, all Of which may be cultivated
easily.
In cultivating q terrace as much Of
the soil as possible should be thrown
toward its center. The best results
are obtained where the rows are run
parallel with the terraces. At first,
usually one row Is planted on the top,
but as the terrace grows broader sew
eral rows are planted. These rows In
variably produce n greater yield than
do those on the land between the ter.
races. Where large machinery is used,
and 1t Is difficult to follow the terrace
line, the rows may be run at an angle
across the terraces, where the land is
not very steep. To do this, the ter.
races must be broad and must be
thrown up at least once year to
maintain their height.
Where the rows between two ad'
jacent terraces are to be laid out pnr'
allel with the terraces, the same mum
ber Of rows should be run parallel
with each terrace. Owing to the vari
alton in distance between terraces II
then will be necessary to fill in with
short rows, generally known as "point
rows" These rows are run in pairs

walton.

drought. Both the spike-tooth and the
sprlng-tOOth harrow also have been
used with splendid results. The bene-
fit to the alfalfa comes in a variety
Of ways, but In the majority Of the
cases the greatest benefit is the de-
structlon Of weeds, and especially OF
blue grass. Alfalfa, with its long tap
root, can withstand almost any kind
Of narrowing or dlsking, but the Or
dinary grass or weed may easily be
damaged by this kind Of treatment.
The Iowa experiment station at
Ames recently received reports from
nearly n thousand plfalfa growers, con-
cernlng the effect of cultivation on
yield. The 234 men who reported disk
Ing secured an average yield of $40
tons; the A who reported narrowing
secured an average yield Of 3.8 tons,
while the 653 who gave no cultivation
to their alfalfa, reported an average
yield Of 3.4 tons.
A few years ago certain people OBJ
jected to the cultivation Of alfalfa Oh
the ground that the crowns would be
split thereby, and become dangerously
diseased, thus eventually weakening
the stand. Investigations made year
or so ago by the agronomy department
Of the Iowa experiment station indi.
cate that there is absolutely nothing
to this fear, that the cultivated alfalfa
Is just as henlthy In every way as that
which has not been cultivated.
