THE OLD BARN FRAME HELPEDA.

When we tore down the old barn to give place for the new one, there were' n good many pieces of sills, beams. glrts and braces that could not 'be us- nd in the new frame. The most of these were of hemlock, dry as a bone. They would have made fine summer wood or klndling,.arld there was a temptation to use them this way.

I like to save every possible piece

ofboard or -timber that I come across, and so I said: "Boys, we will pile up these old beams and other timbers so that they will not rot. It- many he that some day we shall be glad we have them." '

Those posts, sills, beams and girts‘

have been a cons-.tant source of supply in building all _sorts of things. I-f the buildings we have put up since were over to be torn down, parts of the old barn frame would be found in...ho.g house, hen house, ice house and grain- nryn- And they have saved me no

small amount .for new lumber or for timbers hewed out in the woods. :nn sure some of the old blocks are still about the place, waiting to he given a niche in some building.

CLEAN OUT THE FENCE ROWS.

On a recent little trip round 1115’ P1111

of the country I could not help no- ticing thnt on many farms the line be- tween adjoining fields is badly grown up io brllsll.

Stop and think for o moment what

the brush and trees which grow along such lilies do. in the first place, they take u great deal of fertility _out of the soil. . 'l`ho roots extend far out each way. This root system demands nour- ishment. No man who has such 11 row can fail to notice that the crops grown .alongside are poor and never well 'developed The goodness -has oil gone out ot the soil into -the wood growth. <And then, in_ _-every such ruse, there is a strip of land each S1119 of the line than can not be tllled at oil. lt is practically waste land.

To clear these rows out is not such

ti intra job. 'rue main thins is to set nt it and do it. A sharp axe, a bush hook and at stent. .gcythe are the tools needed. Large saplings can be i111\1°d out with rthe tractor. The -best time. to make fairly sure that 'U10 S1115 cut off will not grow up again. is S0011 after haying. The sap is then up in the branches and trunk and one cut- ting will be .practically the, end of the matter. The brush ought to be piled. nioug -the row and burned. This will help to destroy the roots.--V.

BEST QUANTITIES OF CONCEN

Exp¢riment at Cap Rouge--Twenty seven cows were used. and the expel' iment wa run for five seasons, dur-` ing an average of 143 days per year, starting at the beginning of Novem- ber. Animals were chosen oi’ nearly the samel weights and 'production, and they were all given the same quantities oi' rougliago. One lot re- ceived as much meal as would be eaten clean, which cams t'o one pound per 2.18 pounds of milk, an- otlrer one got one pound of meal per

WORK ON A DAIRY FARM

The writer of these notes spent a week recently on a dairy and fruit farm and did all kinds of Jobs from milking. and herding cows, to roofing liulldlhss. and making cement troughs for 0. pig-pen. He wishes to testify to the herd work and to express 'his syml- puthy with “the msn beside the cow.” For the brain worker it is one of the best experiences he can have. Nerves which are unstrung, and a -brain which is completely tagged after a year of teaching are repaired as it by magic. There are thousands of men ‘ and ‘women who should spend at least a. week on a farm each year-- not merely .idling away time, but they need to get on _ n. pair of overalls, a stout pair of shoes, good socks, and a working shirt, topping all with a straw hut..and then they are ready for any job. Hurd on the hands? Well, I should say so! My hands were like those of a, "navvy." Some friends call- ed to see me one day when I was in working garb and to say they were astonished is putting it mildly. They were too polite to say anything direct-i ly, but I saw from their faces that they were more than surprised that rt College Professor could “stoop” i.o such mental jobs.

To go from an office, to work outside in such intense heat is somo- what risky, but I am not ' sorry for the experience, as it gives a person a practical insight into the actual con- ditions oi’ labor on a dairy farm which can he got in no other way.~
