Keeping Extra Team in
Slack Seasons Is Costly

Did you ever stop to figure out just
how much 1t was costing you to keep
an extra team on hand In slack sea-
sons, or to have them eating Off the
farm when they were idle during the
winter months. The cost of keeping
horse one year in 1921 averaged
about 500, according to figures made
up by the Department of Agriculture.
Feed and bedding made up about 60
per cent OF this figure, not forgetting
to figure what the pasture was worth
that the horses used
With this In mind, 1t Is not only
easier to see that farmer can esti-
mate pretty closely whether 1t Is worth
to keep an extra team that
Is idle most of the time, or TO raise
colts and dispose of the older horses
every year or two. There are good
many progressive farmers who have
found that 1t pays to raise couple of
colts each year. to make the mare pay
a little Of her cost back. Then they
are in position to sell Off an extra
horse or two If they find there is no
real need for keeping him during the
slack season. ~

0HIO'S SANDSTONE QUARRlES
Grindstones Taken From Pit
South of Lake Erie.

The worlds largest sandstone quar-
ries are located In Ohio, few miles
to the south Of Lake Erie. in the vicin-
ity of the towns of North Amherst
and Berea. From these quarries come
also vast quantities Of our whetstones
and grindstones, and there Is very
much that is Of interest with respect
to the industry.
One of the quarrles has been mined
to depth of 165 feet in places and the
distance around 1t Is a mile and a
half. Looking into this pit from one
edge, one is reminded of the. ruins Of
the Colosseum, for the walls are cut
in shallow terraces, which are not un-
like the seats of the open-air theater
of the ancients.
In cutting a block of sandstone
wedges are driven in sidewise at the
base of the block. while steam drills
bore holes from the top to meet the
openings made by the wedges. A ma
chine called 'channeler then cuts the
block away.

Of the roof supplies direc. sunlight
to the west row of pens. In the
afternoon the west row Of windows
enables flooding the east row Of pens
with sunlight. In this way every
portion of the floor Is reached at some
time during the day by direct sunlight.
The little pigs as well as the older.
ones enjoy the warm spring sun, and
1t helps to make them active and keep
them healthy. The well-lighted hog
house presents more pleasant, cheer
full aspect also for those who must
take care Of the animals. Likewise
there Is no greater enemy Of disease
germs than plenty Of sunlight. AS the
windows are located in the roof in
stead of in the walls, the sides of the
building are KEPT low. This results in
less overhead space, which insures a
warmer as we'll as a less costly build
ing. In some cases, skylight hog
houses are built with the long way
running east and west; then windows
are placed on the south slope of the
roof. The top row furnishes light for
the north pens, and the bottom row,
the pens along the south wall.
Favored In Many Sections.
The popularity Of the half monitor
roof type Of hoghouse Is not confined
to any particular part of the United
States. Everywhere there are hog
ralsers who favor 1t. It is always To-
Gated so that the long way runs east
and west with windows on the south
side. The top row Of windows lights
the north pens while the lower row
supplies sunshine to the pens along
the south wall. The upper row Of
windows Is placed at such height
that the sun will shine on the floor
Of the north row Of pens at narrowing
time. AS this time will not be the
same for all hog raisers and since the
suns rays have different slant at
different seasons and latitudes, the
builder should figure out. the height at
which to place these windows.

II hog raising is to be made profit

healthy. To insure this, sanitary quar-
ters. and equipment are necessary.
Cholera, white scours. pneumonia

Winter Rye Grown in
All Parts of Country
It's Production Increased in
Last Few Years.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.)
Winter rye Is the hardest OF all ce-
reals. 1t can be grown in all parts OF
the country. says the United States
Department Of Agriculture, but Is most
profitable in the northern and east
ern states. Its production In the
United States has increased rapidly
during the past few years. due chiefly
to heavy foreign demand, high
priced labor, low yields Of wheat, and
the development Of improved varieties
of rye. 1t Is grown largely as a
cash grain crop in the western half of
the country, but is used also for pas.
ture, as a green-manure or nurse crop
and to smother weeds.
The ordinary time for sowing winter
rye in the northern part Of North Da-
kota and Minnesota Is about Septem-
Der /, with later dates in sections
south of this. Many farmers will find
II profitable to SOW winter rye yet this
fall, using grain stubble, corn ground,
fall-plowed land, or summer fallow, IL
climatic conditions permit, the depart
ment believes. Sowing on grain stub
BILE Is often the most profitable be-
cause of the cheaper cost Of produc-
tion. The grain should be sown with
a drill at the rate Of four to six pecks
per acre.
In the important reproducing
western states the average acre value
of the rye crop is somewhat less than
that of wheat. While the yields OF
rye usually are higher than those OF
wheat. the price Is much less, being
largely determined by the foreign
markets which use most Of our crop.
At low prices rye cannot be grown ror
grain at a profit except under good
management and in favored localities,
the Department of Agriculture says.
While rye makes good hay, green ma
nura, pasture, or nurse crop for le-
gumes, II Is not suitable concen-
trated feed for live stock unless mixed
with other grains. 1t is too heavy and
sticky and Is not very palatable feed
ing tests show. When fed In mixtures
rye has feeding value lower than
corn, but nearly equal to that of
barley.

Hogs Take First Place

more than 100000 sheep and 2,0O0,-
600 hogs. Now it shows something
over 5000, 900 hogs and 100000 sheep.
All other forms of live stock have
increased during the same 60-year
period, although since 1900 horses and
mules show a net decrease. The equine
population of Ohio in 1920 is reported
In the census as S42,31S. Poultry

MAC0MbER DISCUSSES PLAN
R. R. CONSOL|D alton BEFORE
LOCAL CHA MbER COMMERCE

The plan which Is proposed has
no Objectionable features whatever
from a financial, operating or traffic
viewpoint, but will very much from
the point of view of service to the
public improve the present condi-
tons. From a traffic standpoint, the
saving in operation and revenue now
divided among several roads retain
ed by one interest will make for in
creased net earnings. Readjustments
now dependent on approval of other
New ENGLAND lines will become much
slmplified and the distribution of
Names traffic within New England,
New York and the West will be pos
sible over routes not now available.
The unified line will have it's connec-
ton with the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad at Worcester
and Springfield for New York City
and beyond via the Harlem River
and Campbell Hall Gateways.
Routes over the Boston & Maine
railroad to its territory and to points
west of the Hudson river through the
Rotterdam, Mechanicville and Bel
lows Falls gateways, together with
routes operating over the Canadian
lines, will be maintained but of more
importance is the direct line reach
and thence to New York City through
the Chatham gateway and to the
West through the Albany gateway
via the New York Central system,
providing a much improved service,
reducing car hire and costs, and fur
niShing access to sources from which
| to draw an adequate supply of cars.
Unrouted traffic and that obtained
through solicitation. together with
such business as the improved SER
vice will attract, will feed this di-
rect route a very substantial ton
mage.
I'm the interest of the public, COM
petition now existing is not only pre-
J served, but new competition IS
created. Existing routes and channels
| of trade and commerce are main
| tanned. What is of far greater i'm
portance is the opportunity afforded
| for the uninterrupted movement of
| traffic across New England through
channels which will prevent serious
| delays due to congested conditions
and embargoes on other New Eng
| land lines.
1.-THE plan takes nothing from the
public On the contrary the plan con-
| tinues what the public now has and
gives to it that which 1T has failed
| to receive in the past, namely, ade-
quate service, and leaves it optional
to the shipper to select his own pre-
| ferrcd route"
Mr.. Macomber declared that 1t was
said that there is considerable delay
in the transfer of freight across Bos-
| ton.
At the close of the address many
of the business men asked questions
which were answered by the speaker.
/ Those present voted approval of the
| plan of Mr.. Mcdonald merging the
! Maine railroads with the New York
