rick at ground. Multiply that sum by itself and multiply the product by the average length of the stack. For hay that has been stacked five months or more divide this last pro duct by 75 and point off two decimal places to get the approximate num- Der. of tons.
 To measure stacks-Round stacks of forage vary so greatly in the rela- tive proportions of height and dia- meter, as we'll as in shape, that no approximately accurate simple rule can be given. In some parts of the country it is customary to put a cer- tain average quantity of forage into each stack. Where this is done the quantities can be approximated by counting the number of stacks and multiplying by the average quantity per stack. A rule which will give fairly close figures for average shaped stacks is to measure the yer tical distance from ground to bulge, and add to this figure three7fourths the vertical distance from bulge to top; multiply this sum by the cir conference of the stack at the bulge and multiply the resulting product by the circumference at the ground. Dividing this last product by 12 will give the number of cubic feet, ap- proximately. (For more exact in formation on measuring hay i, in stacks, see Circular ST, Office of the Secretary, Measuring Hay. in Kicks and Stacks.") For hay in uncovered ricks and stacks the number of cubic feet in ton will vary from. 400 to 500.

Simple Rules Given for
 Measuring Farm Products

Measuring Farm Products
 The following rules for estimating quantities of produce in bulk are given by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. All measure ments are in feet and tenths of a foot.
 To measure wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, and shelled corn in bins.-Multiply inside length and width of bin together, then multiply that product by the average depth of grain in the bin. This gives the cubic feet, which, divided by and multiplied by 4, gives approximately the number of bushels. of grain.
 To measure ear corn in bins or cribs.-For structures with perpen- dicu1ar sides, multiply inside length and width together, then multiply that, product by the average depth of the corn in the bin or crib. Where the crib or bin sides are ffared or sloped the width must be determined by measuring both at floor and top of the corn pile. Adding these two widths together and dividing by two gives the average width measure ment, which in such cases is the correct one to use. Dividing the cubic feet by 5 and multiplying by 2 gives, the approximate quantity in bushels of shelled corn. For corn in the shuck, divide by'7 and multiply by 2. Multiplying the cubic feet by and pointing off two decimal places gives the approximate quantity in sbarrels" of ear corn. A "barreP' of ear corn is equal to 5 bushels of sheIied corn or 10 bushels of ear corn, and it's legal weight is $50 pounds. 'G
 To measure hay, straw, and shredded stover in the mow.-Find the cubic feet by multiplying to- gether the length, width, and aver age depth of the space occupied. The number of cubic feet in ton will vary with the length of time the product has been stored. For inven- torying purposes, figures based on storage for five months or more can be used. In general, it will be ap- proximately accurate to use the fol- lowing figures: =.
 To get tons of hay, divide cubic feet by $50. <4 <. .ay.a
 To get tons of straw, divide cubic feet by 625. ..,. se.

Treatment for Limberneek

> :. The condition known as timber neck in chickens is in reality not a disease, but symptom of several diseases which are characterized by paralysis of the muscles of the neck, making it impossible for the bird to raise. its head from the ground. This condition, the Bureau of Animal In- ,dustry of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture says, is due to the absorption of poisons, from the intestines, which act upon the ner- vous system and cause paralysis.
 Limberneck is generally associated with indigestion or the eating of moldy grain or putrid meat or with intestinal worms. The best treat ment is to give full dose of purga- tive medicine-that is, 50 or 60 grains of Epson salt or or 4 tea spoons of castor oil for a grown fowl. Often the birds will be cured within 24 hours. In case they are not better within 8 or 4 days it is not advisable to keep them.

SENDING CHILDREN TO
BED FOR PUNISHMENT

(By Prof. M. V. O'Shea, The Uni
versity of wisconsin,
Some parents have the habit of pun
ishing their children for wrong doing
by requiring them to go to bed during
the daytime. There is danger in such
punishment. Children who lie in bed
unoccupied are likely to develop bad
habits. A child should not lie in bed
at any time while he is awake unless
he is kept busy in some wholesome
way. When he is sent to bed for pun
ishment the chances are that he will
not be occupied and the consequences
are apt to be harmful.
Some parents encourage their chill
dren to remain in bed and rest after
they awake in the morning. It would
be better for them to arise at once.
If they really need more rest than
they can get from nights sleep, they
should form the habit Of taking nap
at regular time when they are tired
and sleepy.
Parents who discover that their
children have already acquired bad
habits from lying in bed unoccupied
should explain in frank but kind way
the dangers arising therefrom; such
parents should follow this explanation
with redoubled efforts to keep the at
tention of their little ones filled con-
stantly with wholesome thoughts and
occupations.
Evil habits are probably acquired
more largely through the practice of
lying in bed awake or being sent to
bed for punishment than from any
other one cause.
