FARM BUILDINGS NEED CARE
Good Paint Will Lengthen Years Of
Frame Observation-Disclosures
Is Essential.

Farmers have for years wrestled
with and solved more or less salts
factorily the various feed problems
presented by their occupation. They
have had to deal with the question
of the balanced ration in hog feed,
dairy COW feed, horse feed, chicken
feed and even plant food.
And now appears on the farmers
horizon scientist who tells him that
even his buildings must be nourished;
that a house, barn, or outbuilding
that is kept painted with good paint
will last over hundred years; where
as, an implanted one will fall to pieces
in ten years; that neglected build
ing dies just as surely as a horse or
COW that has nothing to eat.
The argument is logical from
scientific standpoint, and it behooves
farmers to attend to the proper nour-
ishment of their buildings, for we all
know that the cost of rebuilding and
of repairs is almost prohibitive now

food and you have exactly what has
happened in the use of lumber. The
per capita consumption has dropped
from 500 board feet in 1900 to 316
board feet in 1920 says the forest
service, United States Department of
Agriculture.
This decreasing use Of a funda-
mental commodity, according to forest
experts, is not a result of decreasing
needs but a result of forest exhaustion.
1t is not being accomplished without
economic hardship or without curtail-
ment of Industrial expansion. 1t is not
a temporary condition that will auto
matically adjust itself, for even at this
reduced rate of consumption we are
still cutting our forests more than four
times as fast as they grow The situa-
ton proclaims, according to the forest
service, that if we are to remain ma
ton of timber users, we must become
a nation of timber growers.
Reached Highest Point in 1906.
In 1906. when American lumber pro-
duction reached its highest point, the
average per capita consumption OF
lumber in the United States was APP
proximately 500 board feet. Since that
time the per capita consumption has
rapidly and consistently decreased
until in 1920 the average citizen used
approximately 316 board feet This is
a reduction of 81 per cent in ID years,
or nearly 3 per cent a year. Should
this decrease continue at its present
rate, by 1910 the downward sweep OF
consumption would approach zero.
This, of course, will not happen. The
average consumption will ultimately
reach fairly stable level, which will
depend mainly upon the extent to
which orr devastated forests are made
again productive.
The consumption of lumber is not
evenly distributed. Previous studies
indicated that the states Of the Pacific
Northwest, now the last great strong
hold of big numbering operations, had
much higher per capita consumption
than those of other regions, but the
present figures are the first to give
information for all states upon the
same basis. Naturally the greatest per
capita consumption occurs where wood

STANDARDIZED FOWLS BEST
Egg Production Is Greatly Increased
by Using Improved CockereIs
on MongreI Hens.

Standardized hens lay more eggs
than mongrels. The ability to lay
good many eggs is an inherited quail
ity. Many standardized poultry
breeders have long realized the inn
portance of high egg production and
have selected their stock for improve
ment. One thousand standardized
puIlets at the Connecticut egg-laying
contest produced, on an average, 1872
eggs each, while at New Jersey the
record was 161 eggs for each pullet.
Flocks of mongrels usually produce
from about IS to 80 eggs per hen.
The Kansas State Agricultural col
lege completed an interesting breed
ing experiment recently. Common
mongrel hens were bred to Standard
bred males from good laying stock.
The increase in the production Of
the offspring as compared to that of
the mothers was phenomenal. The
mongrel hens in enc pen produced
104 eggs each in year. Their daugh-
ters, from a standardized Barred
Rock male produced 134 eggs. The
second generation produced 165 eggs
and the third, 207. With single comb
White Leghorn cockerels and mongrel
hens, the results were even more spec
tacular. The egg production was in
creased from IA to 1913 eggs for each
hen in just three years.
A flock of uniform size, type, and
color always looks better than a flock
of mongrels. Owners take more pride

There are varying opinions as to
the best time to have cows freshen,
but after a thorough study of the rec
ords of 10,870 COWS in Ga testing asso-
Citations the United States Department
of Agriculture has found that cows
dropping their calves in the fall pro-
duce more milk and butterfat. In the
81 associations fall freshening ranked
first % times in average milk produc-
ton; winter freshening ranked first
Is times; summer freshening 10 times,
and spring freshening times. In
butterfat production fall freshening
was first SO times, winter 13 times,
sumner times and spring Z times.
The tabulated results and detailed ex-
planaticns have just been published
in department Bulletin 1911, "Inf1u-
ence of Season of Freshening on Pro
ductson and Income From Dairy
Cows" by J. c. Mcdowell.
Fall Freshening Best.
On an average the cows that fresh
tned in the fall, September, October
and November, produced $3.50 pounds
of milk, while those that freshened in
the winter, summer and spring pro
duced 6,439, 5,941 and 5,842 pounds,
+ respectively. These fall cows pro-
ducad on an average 268 pounds of
butterfat. Those that calved in win
ter. summer and spring made, in or
der, 258, 236 and 236 pounds. In spite
Of higher feed cost, the fall-freshened
cows made more, income over feed
cost. The winter ones were second,
spring third and summer fourth.
On the basis of individual months,
the largest income over feed cost was
made by the cows freshening in De-
cember, with October second, NoYem-
Der third and January fourth. The
cows calving in October ranked first
In both milk and butterfat production.

in 1921 to 2,67O acres in 1922, and the
acreage of the late states increased
from 1922 acres in 1921 to AGO

is plentiful and the population is rela-
lively small. In Washington and Ore
gon the consumption appears to be be-
tween 900 and 1000 board feet an
nually per person.
Next come California, Montana, Ida
no, and Wyoming, where the rate of
consumption is from 500 to 800 feet
per person annually. In these states
timber is relatively plentiful as COM
pared with the density of the popula
ton, and a very considerable expan-
sion has been taking place in the
development of farms and other nat
ural resources.
The group next lower in per capita
consumption includes the Lake states,
and sweeps southwesterly across the
prairie states through Colorado, New
Mexico, and Arizona. In this group
the annual consumption is between 300
and 500 feet, board measure.
Use Less Than 800 Feet.
Practically all the remaining states
fall into class in which the annual
consumption is 200 to 800 feet. This
group extends in a broad belt from
Texas along the southern and eastern
Atlantic coast to Cape Cod, Mass. 1t
also includes North Dakota, Iowa,
Utah, and Nevada.
The lowest consumption of all is in
Rhode Island the District of Columbia,
South Carolina, and Georgia, in which
the average consumption is rated be-
tween 100 and 200 feet per year. In
the District of Columbia there is an
extreme situation in density of popula
ton. No lumber is produced, there is
little farming or manufacturing, and
the entire population consists of urban
dwellers IN the city of Washington who
live mainly in houses of brick and
stone and require relatively little lum-
ber All the lumber used in the Dis
trict of Columbia is imported from
other states, just as it is in some of
the non-timbered prairie states.
In general the older and more dense
ly settled states show the lowest aver
age consumption. The states charac-
terized by heavy agricultural opera
lions come next, and the greatest use
per Individual is indicated in those
states where there is still considerable
timber and where the extension of
home building is proceeding at a rapid
rate, using the abundant material pro-
vided by the forests. The states are
going through an evolutionary process,
building first of lumber and later of
more costly materials as the forests
recede before fire and axe.

LIVE CHICKENS FOR MARKET
Fowls Will Often Net Shippers as
Much as When Dressed-SIatted
Crates Are Best.

Poultry of all kinds can be shipped
alive and will often net the shipper as
much as when dressed, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For shipping live poultry to market
well constructed, Slated crates are
desirable, as these crates provide for
ventilation. Overcrowding is to be
avoided, and if large crates are used
they should have partitions to prevent
the birds from being thrown together
at one end when the crate is tipped in
handling. If possible, ship only one
variety in a coop or in one division of
a coop.

HOGS WILL EAT ALFALFA HAY
Several Experiment Stations Have
Tested 1t and Found 1t to Be
Most Excellent Feed.

Hogs will eat limited amount of al
falfa hay after becoming used to it.
Several state agricultural experiment
stations have tested this out. In al
most every case the addition of alfalfa
to a grain ration reduced the cost of
gains and improved the condition of
the hogs. At one station the best ra-
ton found for fattening hogs was
corn and alfalfa in the ratio of nine
TO one. Alfalfa is an ideal feed for
brood sows, and there is less trouble
with hog diseases when it is fed lib
orally.

North, South, East, West, autumn is

even when the ground is hard and
frozen, and our efforts should be oil
rected to aiding natural agencies. The
greatest good can be accomplished by
improving the soil and preparing it
for growing bumper crops of potatoes,
cabbage. tomatoes, beans, beets and
other vegetables next season, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture
Crop to Improve Soil.
Most of our garden crops have ma
tured and been cleaned off the land. In
many parts of the country it is too
late to plant anything on this vacant
land, except rye, barley or some other
crop to improve the soil. Some OF
the most successful gardeners follow
the practice Of sowing rye on every
foot of garden soil that becomes avail
able. The roots of the rye spread
through the soil and pick up every
choice bit of plant food they can find.
Next spring when the ground is spaded
or plowed these same roots form net
work of fibrous material which quick
Iy decays and forms new plant food
for the garden crops to feed upon.
Don't let it get more than two or three
inches high next spring before it is
turned under. Other crops will give
the same results, but rye is one of
the most practical.
Frost Breaks Up Heavy Soils.
Spading or blowing clay soils in the
autumn and leaving them lying in a
rough state over winter is also a good
practice. Heavy soils are broken up
by the action of frost, but care should
be, taken that they do not wash away.
Sandy and all light soils are liable to
wash or blow away during the winter
if left loose and exposed, and for this

Seed Corn Tips

There should be a free c1rcu-
lation of air around the ears
while they are drying.
Corn should not be dried In
the direct sunlight.
Poorly dried corn will be
much lower in termination.
Artificial heat or kiln drying
quickly expels the excess mois-
ture from the ears and prevents
injury by freezing.
Kiln-dried seed corn has the
greater vigor and vitality.
Do not overhead the corn
while it is moist.
Partially dried corn should not
be exposed to zero weather.
After drying, corn should be
stored in dry room which is
free from rats and mice.-R. A.
