enable us to extend to the stranger

us to see to it that he is given an

PAYS TO BUILD WELL

Low Quality Material and Careless
Work Held Poor Economy.
Prepared By ths Apieainsrs

Do not slight the building job, wheth'

or garage, Is the advice Of H. B.
White, who Is in charge Of the farm
buildings section of school, college,
and station work at University Farm.
1T takes almost as much material
for a poorly built building as it does
for a good one," says Mr.. White, land
with the higher prices Of material OF
recent years 1t is more economical to
build we'll. Often hurry-up job
means only little saving, and the re-
suit Is a short lived building.

2 to 4 per cent. II good material

DODO NOT VICTIM OF MAN
Odd Bird Had No Value as Article
of Food-Regarded az Freak
Of Nature.

Some persons not versed in natural
history when they hear reference made
to the dodo imagine it to have been
some tabled bird of the far-distant
past. AS a matter Of fact, up to about
$50 years ago this curious bird was
quite plentiful on the island of Mauri-
thus near the African coast, its only
known habitat. It derives Its name
from the Portuguese word "duodo,"
meaning simpleton.
The dodo was twice as large as an
average-slzed turkey. It's plumage
was ash-colored, its bill dark, and its
legs and feet clumsy and yellow. No
dodo was ever known to exist after
1851. What caused its extinction is
not known.
AS the Dutch navigators who land
ed on the island of Mauritius In the
Sixteenth century called this bird
"waighvogel,' or "nauseous," because
It was not palatable with any kind Of
cooking, 1t is not likely that 1t be-
came extinct because 1t was eagerly
sought as dainty for the table,

complicated and expensive now than
in earlier years, a certain amount
should be set aside annually for their
upkeep, says Mr.. White. This amount
will vary materially from year to
year as a new building Of good con-
struction will need no repairs the
first year, very little the second, and
probably only a coat of paint the
third. Thereafter the sum required
yearly for upkeep may be consider
able although not regular and will
vary with different buildings.
AS a stitch in time saves nine, so
prompt attention to leaks in roof,
broken hinges or locks will save
much labor and do away with more
extensive repair bills later, says Mr..
White. This attention will also avoid
that rundown appearance too often
seen on farmsteads.
Painting Is of Importance" Mr..
White adds, met only for improving
the appearance but for improving

Advises Planting Of Winter Wheat.

r. E. Blackburn, agricultural agent
In Cottonwood county, contends that
farmers in his territory should SOW
some winter wheat regardless of mar.
ket prices for that cereal. After
noting that fall blowing has already
been started, and that fall plowed
land or land on which silage corn has
been cut and the top soil pulverized
with the disk Is an excellent place to
plant at least little winter wheat,
he says:
Wheat makes as good or even q
Wheat at 80 cents per bushel Is as
better crop for changing land than
does oats, and the wheat market is
really as good as the oats market.
good feed and cheaper than mill feeds
at present prices. 1t should be
coarsely ground for all stock except
chickens. Winter wheat also makes
the best nurse crop for sowing clover
and alfalfa. For these reasons l be.
lieve farmers in southern Minnesota
should SOW some winter wheat.
The right time to SOW Is early In
September-the first week IL posi-
