From Our
MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA
CONTINUED from Page II


We started for the confer
ence about 1900 o'clock in the
morning and arrived there
about 800 in the afternoon.
It's about a 200 mile drive,
1000 feet up. Some of the hills
were very steep but it was
beautiful. Later in the day we
drove through flat land and
the highlands where white
farmers live. In that spot, one
would not realize they were
in Africa-just pine and pop
lar trees and farmland.
We came to a small town
but we were still 80 miles from
Nairobi and 40 miles from XII
jabe.. From this town there was
a very good road and we could
go from 60 to 70 miles per
hour. We passed several lakes
with mountains in the back
. ground. One is Nairobi which
is on a 2-shilling stamp. They
say that a certain time of the
year the edge of the lake is
pink with flamingos. We
came out on a small plain and
turned off to climb the hill to
Kijabe Station-a school for
white children. It's a very cold
place at night and rather cool
through tn e day, except
around two in the afternoon,
when it is hot. I caught a cold
and sore throat.
The meetings were held in
the morning, daytime and
evening in the largest school
room. There were approx
mately a hundred people
there, including youngsters. It
was an African Inland Mission
Get together, with people
there from several faiths. Most
OF the speakers were good.
Some are real saints and out
for souls.
OIle ola man was on the
Egyptian boat "Zam-Zam"
when it was sunk by the Ger
mans as it was entering Cape
town, Africa. All the mission
aries were taken off. Many
lost lots of equipment. They
were crammed into submar-
inc and taken to a concentra-
ton camp in Germany for sew
eral years. He said that when
ever things got dark, brother
always quoted Romans 1928:
I'VE know that all things work
together for good, to them that
love God, to them who are the
called according to His pur-
pose."

Richland 10 Get
zoo More Homes

Purchase of 200 former war
cousing units from the Bremerton
housing authority to supplement
about 1000 new homes now being
built in Richland was announced
this week by the Atomic Energy
Commission.
As SO of the units still are &C.
cupied at Bremerton, only $50 are
now being prepared for shipment
to Richland. The others will be
available when vacated to COM
plete the sale to Acc.
Eighteen of the former war
housing units, all of the prefab-
ricated type, have three bedrooms
and 1872 have two bed rooms. The
three bedroom units We're pur-
chased for 1000 each and those
with two bedrooms for 5000. Re-
frigerators, electric ranges, and
water heaters, also purchased from
the Bremerton housing authority,
will be installed in Richlano.
The 200 units, to be occupied by
key construction personnel, are to
be set up north of Richland along
the Columbia.

One of the most important and
complicated problems at the state
institutions is the procurement,
prepaftion and serving of meals.
With over $4,000 patients at the
institutions the need for efficient
handling of food is most mpor-
tant. ,r
The food service facilities of
Western State Hospital at Fort
Steilacoon, where $4,000 meals
a month are served, represent a
planned activity from the actual
growing of the food to its serving
and disposal of waste. -.
Before the kitchen at the hos
oital assumed its present layout,
many plans of institutions with a
comparable feeding problem were
studied. Consultations were held
With manufacturers of equipment,
and their recommendations were
Incorporated in the final plans.
The result is a spacious kitchen,
equipped with every modern
facility for easily handling the
mass feeding problem involved.
Although the present install
lation was made in 937, subse-
Iuent additions - the last one
costing $125,00-have served to
maintain efficiency built for the
hospital. Twenty-Five employees

All edges of the board must have

strips provide the base for vertical

vapor barrier material on the warm
side of the structure.
Types of vapor barriers include
the membrane type, which comes in
rolls and is applied ON the room
side of all insulated walls, ceilings
or roofs, and the paint type, which
is also applied inside with a brush.
Ventilation is almost a must" for
removing moist, humid air from
poultry buildings. The simplest way
to change the air is to cross-ventilate
by opening windows. A quarter to
one-half inch opening is usually suf-
ficient.

Inferior view of masonry wall show
ing application of Turing strips and
insulating board.
This means that nails two inches
long should be used with the thicker
boards and 1k-inch nails with the
half-inch board.
1t is also recommended that insu-
lating board be nailed to the inter-
mediate framing first-a nail about
every six inches. The edges should
be nailed last.
Finally, it is recommended that
insulating board be protected from
damage by animals and machinery.
In poultry houses a two-foot high
wainscot of lumber, asbestos cement
board, cardboard, plywood or other
dense material applied over the in
sulating board is satisfactory. Roosts
and nests should also be covered to
prevent pecking.

example, 1862 farmers reported that
their barn ceilings were insulated.
When asked how their ceilings
were insulated, 81 replied with hay
mows," 40 with wood boards" 2
with wood shavings" and So with
commercial insulation"
What Is Insulation?
Strictly speaking, n percent had
not really insulated their ceilings in
the sense that they had added the
extra protection implied by "insula-
tion." And of the % percent who
had insulated, the effectiveness of
the two who used wood shavings
might be questioned.
Hay will perform the function of
insulation while the NOW is filled,
but as the hay is used, the insula-
ton value naturally decreases. In
addition, hay has the same disad-
vantage as wood shavings in that
both will rot and harbor vermin.
This survey also brought out the
fact that approximately 25 percent
considered wood boards an insula-
ton material. Wood, like any other
building material, has some insula-
ton value, but it takes a wood board
31s inches thick to give the same
heat stopping values as a 1-inch
rigid insulating board made of wood
or vegetable fibers.
Proved Cash Value
Nowadays it is hardly necessary t.
sell the poultryman on the advan,
tages of insulation. If proof is need
ed, these facts and figures from tn,
1916 report of Iowa State college
demonstration flocks are c%onvincin,
evidence that insulation pays for it
self while it increases egg produc
ton and profits:

2. During the year, hens in il
sulated houses consumed 81 poune
of feed less per bird.

duced a dozen of eggs on a pour
less feed.
a.. Money invested in flocks in il
sulated houses returned 27 percer
while only 14.3 percent was realiz,
on flocks in n~oninsulated houses.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-11-15

5. While the investment per hen
was 35 cents more for those housed
in insulated buildings, this was al
most entirely offset by the expense
per hen, which was 80 cents less for
birds in insulated houses.
These dollar and cent values can
be duplicated by any poultryman,
providing he uses a good insulation
material and applies it properly. One
type widely used on new and exist
ing poultry houses is the structural
insulating board. 1t can be sawed
and nailed just like lumber and it
builds while it insulates.
Caution in Application
This versatility and popularity of
insulating board is another reason
for ~cautioning the user to apply it
properly. According to the Insula-
ton Board institute, there are four
things to keep in mind in putting
up insulation board: % Use the
IlSIlt tillChlleSS VI DOdIQ lOI Tie JOD,
(2) put the board over the proper
framing, 90 use the right kind of
nails and enough of them and (4)
protect the board from damage by
pecking.
Another point to keep in mind,
the institute warns, is the problem
of high humidities in livestock shell
tiers, fruit and vegetable storages. In
