Composition Of Wheat

The chemical composition and
the general characteristics of
wheat and rye are very similar so

Indicate that rye instead of being
more valuable than wheat is in
reality about 5 per cent less valu-

value of wheat and rye is thought
in measure at least to be due to
the fact that rye is less palatahle.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm
for the readers of this paper. On &C
count of his wide experience as editor,
author and manufacturer, he is, with

In these days when dairying has
become the principal activity on many
farms rather than side issue, farm
building architects have devoted more
and more attention to economy in the
construction of the buildings to house
dairy cows. Instead Of constructing
a huge barn with a NOW floor the
same size as the stable floor, many
dairy barns are now constructed with
only one. story.
The roughage which the animals
need is stored in a eheaply con-
structed building of a size required
to hold the amount of hay necessary
to supplement the silage. This one
story construction not only saves in
the original cost but makes really a

Terra Gotta. Material
Boasts Strong Points

The Elasticity and lightness of terra
Gotta, combined with it's marked dura-
bility and fire safety, make it the ideal
exterior for steel and concrete con-
StructiOn.
1t also possesses the great advan-
tage of being highly resistive to dirt.
In fact, smoke, SCOT and CRIME do not
penetrate the hard, dense texture Of
terra Gotta. At worst, they simply
cover the surface with film which
is easily washed off. leaving the ex-
terror just as bright and fresh-looking
as it was originally.
Another outstanding advantage Of
terra Gotta is that exact duplicates of
decorative details can be made from
the same mold in any number desired.
This enables the architect to provide
rich ornamentation at cost little
more than it would be for plain sur
faces. And the work is done by skilled
modelers who are genuine artists.
When it comes to the use Of color in
architecture, terra Gotta offers a
"Satth VI sllSW UGduIy
unobtainable with any other building
material. 1t now comes not only in
striking enamel finishes of white,
cream and buff and in many shades of
red, but in wide variety of blues,
green's, browns and yellOws.
Additional firings produce vermilion
and gold glaze, either matt or lus-
trous. During the last few years
progress has also been made in wild
ening the range of terra Gotta tex
lures. Any pattern desired can now
be produced, either regular or .irregu-
lar. Variety of possible textures in
cludes both low relief and rugged or
modelled surfaces. In this connection
it is especially worthy of note that
rough-surface terra Gotta is the most
effective reflector of floodlighting.

STOCK
LAMBS FATTENED
FOR MARKET DAY
Farmers Who Followed the
Plan for Years Favor 1t.

The winter occupation OF fat
tening feeder lambs for the mar
ket may or may not be profitable
in any one season, but farmers IN
this section who have followed the
industry year after year say the
profits from the good years more
than balance the deficits incurred
in off years, says writer In the
Rural New Yorker. The feeder
lamb business is not a sure propo-
sition, but that is true also of
any farm industry, dairying, crop
raising, etc. Market prices cannot
be controlled by the average farm
er, but as in any branch of farm
ing there are certain rules and
principles to be observed in the
fattening of feeder lambs.
Extr.. care must be used the first
few days if the industry is to be
started properly, without loss OF
lambs. The bulk of the feeder
lambs come from the great sheep
ranges in Texas, Arizona, Idaho
and Montana. The time taken in
transit from these ranges with
perhaps one or two lay-overs is
productive of loss of weight OF
the lambs and the formation of an
enormous appetite. Often this
ravenous appetite causes the lambs
to eat so much grain that it is
fatal. VI
Only light feelings Of grain
should be given them the first four
or five days and self-feeders should
not be used. Even if the grain
portion per lamb is small, some of
the larger and stronger lambs are
very likely to partake of more
grain than is safe. Self-feeders
should be taboo for the first few
days, troughs being the most prac-
teal arrangement to use. Smah
feelings of grain can be given in
the troughs, and, as greater num-
Der of lambs can eat from the
troughs than two or three self
feeders, the grain is quickly con-
sumed with practically no danger
of any lambs overeating.
In feeding forage, not so much
caution is required but l would
not advise too heavy feelings the
first day. The lambs, when they
first arrive, are gluttons, and there
might possibly be some ill effects
from too much forage. Just enough
forage the first day to take the
sharpness from their appetite is
advisable.
After three or four days, when
their craving for grain has been
satisfied self-feeders may be used.
Even then, there are times that a
lamb may overeat, but these in
stances are few. Some farmers
use troughs altogether. but self
feeders make the feeding Of grain
easier as it entails much less la
Dor. A gradual daily increase in
the amount of grain for four or
five days should take care of the
feeding situation at the start.

Select Attractive Feeds

In preparing laying ration il is
well to consider only such feeds as
are digestible. wholesome and pal
atable. Palatability is an impor-
tant factor in a laying mash. Ara
ton In which the mash is extreme
ly heavy and compact is not so cas-
lily digested as is one that is lighter.
since egg production is dependent
upon feed consumption, ii is impor-
tant that the ration be made as at
tractive as possible to gain and hold
the attention of the birds that
should be laying eggs.

Roof Important Part Of
the Exterior of House

Into the past have slipped the days
when the roof was regarded as mere
covering over four walls. Today the
roof is considered as an important
part of the exterior of a house and
should have the same architectural
treatment as the rest of the home.
Fireproof roofs will give you a feel
ing of security and safety which cam
not be represented in dollars and
cents. and of course, there will be a
saving on fire premiums.
The matter of fireproofness is one
which most of us regard as of vital
Importance. The loss in the United
States from fires caused by sparks on
roofs averages over $12O00.O0O year.
Economy and permanence are close
ly related and of vital Importance in
making your selection of roof. Bear
I'm mind that economy is not always
measured by the first cost. Neces-
sary expenditures for repairs, upkeep
and replacement must be considered,
il the true economy of any roofing
material is to be determined Gem
orally a low-priced perishable roof is
the most expensive Upkeep and re-
placement soon run its cost above that
of roof which has a higher initial
cost, but which never requires re-
placement.
A roof should last as long as the
walls of your house may stand. You
wouldn't think of erecting structure
which will require the replacement of
its walls in five or ten years time
Why should you replace your roof?
Don't let false economy lead you to

Beef Silage Crop

Oats can be used fairly success
fully as silage crop for feeding
beef steers. Tests in Illinois
showed average daily gains Of 2.SS
pounds for steers receiving a ra-
ton of shelled corn. cottOnseed
meal, and alfalfa hay to which was
added 0at silage. Similar steers
receiving the same ration but with
corn silage substituted for the oat
silage made average daily gains
of sos. This suggests a possible
and profitable use for badly lodged
0at crops.

A glimpse into a child's world
shows cottons on every side.
That is such a well-known fact
that it needs no repetition, but
the question doesn't end there,
for each season brings out more
cottons, new uses for it. and diff
ferent things to delight the
heart of a child. And as this
is National Cotton Week, with
stores, magazines and papers all
centering attention on cottons,
let's investigate a few of these
new things. They are to be
found not only in clothes. but
in furnishings for the nursery,
in toys, in games, and so on.
A Cotton Elephant
A child's bed now follows a
grown-up fashion and wears a
candlewick spread, often in the
same conventional design, and
in white or colors. There are
even crib spreads, and there are
carriage robes to match. Prices
are as low as $1.95. Cotton
parasols will shade her eyes
when she's out walking, and
they come to match her dress,
the set for only $1.95. Sun
suits are of cotton. more often
of plain material than knitted.
We've sketched one of checked
gingham with a cat on the
front, and the hat matches it.
The set is 81, and others are
of seersucker, broadcloth or
pique, quite groWn-up fabrics.
Above the little boy wearing
this sun suit in our sketch is a
huge cotton elephant, in gay
flowered design, and in almost
any color. His price is $2.95.
ROmpers Sleeveless
The little girl on the left Of
our sketch wears a lovely or.
candle dress with hat to match,
both dotted in red. The set is
only $1.95. The little boy on
the right wears sleeveless romp-
ers of pique, made to look like
a suit with pants and blouse.

South made an opening bid
Of 1-Spade, West suffered from
a belief that he could not over
call upon less than 11a quick
tricks, so he passed. North
went 2-Clubs "a forcing bid un-
der "suit-over7suit" procedure);
East bid 2-Hearts; South forced,
by bidding 3-Spades; North
went 4-Clubs. whereupon South
ended with 5-Clubs, undoubled.
East knew that one Of the
worst possible leads is a suit
bid at your left, especially when
that suit al-o has been rebid.
He did not lead spades, which
would have given the declarer
an easy slam.
East knew that ordinarily it IS
bad to lead from a tenace suit
(A-Q of hearts, or from a suit
headed by a single high honor,
like his diamonds. Many players
in his position would have led a
trump without thought, but 1t
seemed to East that such a lead
would place future events in the
declarer'S hands, and that 1t
might be better to guess at a
lead than to start off by giving
the declarer the first trick with
suah strong bidding. East de-

cided to lead one of the unbid
suits.
East led his Ace of hearts, to
view dummy and to decide what
next to do. West gave him the
6 of hearts, as a come-on, to
show the K, and the defenders
had two tricks salted away, re-
quiring only a third trick to de-
feat the contract, but that third
trick they never won. West took
out the Ace of diamonds from
dummy. North ruffed a dia-
mond, then dummy trumped
North's last heart. Trumps were
pulled and two spade tricks gave
the five-odd bid. The only lead
which would have defeated the
contract would have been a
diamond lead, as then North
must have lost three heart
tricks. Each time he led a low
heart an opponent would lead
back a trump, so that dummy
never could trump a heart.
Had East led either a trump
or a spade, small slam must
have resulted. Two leads Of
spades would yield two tricks.
Declarer would ruff a third lead
of that suit, thereby establish
ing two good spades in dummy,
upon which later the declarer
could discard two losing hearts.
An opening lead of diamonds
would remove the Ace of that
suit. so that entry to the hand
would be hampered.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Some months ago a cousin
came from one of the little
towns in Bavaria for a visit.
She wasn't particularly pretty,
and her clothes were old-timey;
but she had a way of looking
at a man that no one. up to
date, could resist.
1t was not a bold way. On
the contrary, it was modest
and adoring and meek. But
she managed to convey that the
man she was casting an eye
upon was a Roosevelt, Musso-
lini, Rockefeller, Ronald Col
man, Jack Barrymore and then
a few more headliners all in
one. Believe me, I fell for the
old world maedchems glance
and asked her to marry me.
So did my upstate cousin,
when she went there for a visit.
So did the bachelor Lutheran
pastor. So did several others.
All popped the question, and
all were accepted! Then, when
we had got nasty, jealous and
mad with each other over this
girl, we discovered we were
just a flock of goats.
I came out of my trance.
The rest are still quarreling
over the girl with the glance.
When I told her "all was over"
she just smiled. What the rest
