ESTIMATE OF LUMBER WASTE
BY Careful Cutting Much Can Be
Saved and Short Pieces Can Be
Used In Odd Places.

Don't forget to estimate the waste
In buying your lumber for building a
poultry house, barn or other structure.
In figuring on common sheathing add
one-tenth for waste, and one-fourth
for matched flooring and all kinds of
siding. By careful cutting you can
save much of the waste; and there are
many places In a building where the
short pieces can be used.
Don't buy too many nails. II you
do they are almost certain to be scat
tered around the place, ESPECIALLY II
there are children. Some specialists
In the United States Department OF
Agriculture prefer wire nails as they
are easier to use than cut nails, al
though the latter kind have greater
binding power. Use 10 to God nails
for framing; 8 to 10-d for sheathing |:
Cd finish or casing nails for clap
boarding, and Sd for siding. Four
penny nails are III inches long, cd
are 2 inches, and sd nails are PA
inches. 1t takes about four pounds Of
Sd nails to 1000 shingles; Is pounds
Of ed for 1000 square feet, board
measure. Of beveled siding; 20 pounds
Of Sd. and % pounds of 10-d for 1000
square feet of sheathing; 80 pounds
Of Sd for 1000 square feet Of floor
ing. and 10 pounds Of 10-d, or 25
pounds Of GOD for 1000 feet Of stud
ding.

PRODUCE MUTTON FOR TABLE
There Are Many Areas Where Few
sheep Could 6e Kept at Advan-
tage-Thrive on Brush.

Sheep are not very generally kept
on farms for supplying the family with
meat. There are many areas. espe-
ciaiiy In hilly or mountainous regions.
United States Department Of Ag-icul-
ture specialists point out. where near
" every farm could keep few NUT
con sheep to advantage. Boys and
gtrls clubs IN some parts OF the coun-
try have done much to foster home
production OF mutton.
Sheep naturally Craze over rather
wide areas and seek q variety of
plants. This habit adApts them to
being kept In large numbers on lands
OF sparse vegetation or which furnish
a variety of grasses or other plants.
They do better on short and fine grass
than on coarse or high feed. They
xlH eat much brush and. IL confined
to small areas. viii do a fair JOB Of
cleaning up land. When used In this
way or on land producing brush only
they cannot be expected 10 prove very

great value Of this crop, the use Of hay
caps would largely obviate the diff
Guilty now experienced In curing the
first and the last cuttings. The old
methods used In curing mixed timothy
and-clover hay are not always ade-
quate for alfalfa, and in many in
stances a good grade Of alfalfa hay
might be assured by the use Of hay
caps.
In the South, where the weather Is
rainy large part Of the time during
the long haying season, the hay cap
Is an especially valuable addition to
hay making equipment, Alfalfa, also
alfalfa and Johnson grass mixed hay
are cut from three to five times a year
In the South, and great deal Of hay
Of inferior quality is made as result
Of trying to cure by ordinary methods.
In this section hay caps have been
used to good advantage. especially
with legume hay grown for market.

United States and Canada

Prime Minister Meighen OF Canada
has attracted worldwide attention by
his ultlmatum to the British foreign
Office. The imperial conference had
heard statement from Lord Curzon,
foreign secretary, and was about to
consider the modified renewal of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. for which
British diplomacy. as distinct from the
dominions, was strongly pressing, when
Mr.. Melghen arose and challenged a
broader issue in four propositions. The
discussion of the alliance had to be
postponed.
The four propositions are briefly
these: Canada claimed that the do
minions must be fully informed over
British policy affecting India, Mesopo-
tamia and the East. The second prop
osition was that where policy affected
not only the East but the dominiOns
they should be not only fully In
formed" but consulted" which means
that they are to be granted right OF
