that the postoffice at Camp Perry has
opened for the summer season.

Directly back Of the siio are the
cow stalls. 20 In all, facing in toward
a central feed alley. A carrier track
runs over the litter alley to the out
side manure pit This carrier system
greatly lessons the work Of the help
around the barn and relieves them Of
the heaviest work Of all, wheeling the
feed and litter to and from the stalls.
Running through the center Of the
barn from front to back is a high
driveway, with double door entrance
in the front Of the barn. The ceiling
over this driveway is higher than the
regular barn ceiling and In the center
Of the driveway are hay doors. through
which the hay from the wagons or
trucks can be lifted up into the hay
NOV which covers the entire upper
floor OF the barn. Because Of the gam
brel roof this storage room is enor-
nous and will hold a vast amount Of
hay and feed.
On the other side Of the driveway is
the horse section Of the barn, and
some special rooms. There are six
regular horse stalls, one box stall and
double stall. These stalls are Of
the latest type and face a short feed
alley, at the end Of which Is steel
hay rack
In front Of this horse section are
the feed and harness rooms and sew
eral bins for mixing feeds. A feed
chute from above empties into the
main feed room and hay chute is
located In the small passageway out
side.
This building, while costing a little
more than poor barn, will soon pay
for its cost. 1t will help to stimulate
production and. Just as important, pro-
mote satisfaction among the help. Sat-
isfied help is cheaper than a contin-
ually changing personnel. Better farm
buildings will do much to cut down
the cost Of farm operation.

ORGANIZE BULL ASSOCIATION
Success Depends Great Deal on Care
in Forming-county Agent Can
Give Assistance.

Success in the operation of a coop
eratlve bull association depends a
great deal on the care than is used
in its organization. To begin with.
those interested should obtain as much
information as possible regarding the
plan of operation and should consult
with the county agricultural agent.
He may be able to give valuable in
formation from experience, or at least
will know where 1t can be obtained,
and he can help greatly in starting the
organization. If a county agent Is
not available. write to the state agri-
cultural college or TO the United States
Department of Agriculture at Wash
lngton, ID. G., either Of which win be
glad to give advice and assistance. 1t
is advisable, If possible, to visit some
nearby bull association in order to
study the methods of operating, for
the more information there is avail
able the better will be the prospects
for a well-organized and successful
association.

YEARLY YIELDS FROM SHEEP
Compare Practically the Same as Cat
tie and Swine II Kept on
Suitable Land.

Yield of lambs and wool depend
largely upon the breed of sheep Sc
lected. With ewes of any. one of the
medIum-slzed mutton breeds the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
points out that 115 per cent of lambs
can be raised, and $50 per cent is not
infrequently reached The wool clip
varies from to II pounds per eve.
The larger mutton breeds yield more,
as do also the fine woods, but the value
per pound of the latter has in normal
times been less on account of the
greater proportion of grease. In COM
parison with cattle and swine, sheep
can be made to yield practically the
same net returns on the value of the
land, If well cared for, and If kept on
lands reasonably well adapted for
sheep raising.
