I TIMBER DECAY COSTS MILLIONS j Millions of feet of timber and finished lumber rot every year in railroad ties, (bridges, trestles, piles, farm j buildings, fences, poles and mine i , props. The'lnmber consuming public of the United Sutes pays perhaps thirty to forty million dollars a year to make good the losses from wood decay. These great drainrf are a source of , more and more concern each year. Chemises and engineers who have to do with the uses of wood are working ! unceasingly on the problem. The , United States Forest Service has men who devote their wnole time to it The importance ot the problem cannot ! be overestimated. Millions of dollars are annually saved by preservative treatment of timbers, but much yet remains to be learned. Wood decay la caused bv fungus, a 1 vegetable growth sometimes so small : that it can be Been only with the mi- 1 crosoope. Its roots or branches, like | . minute hairs, foroe their way^into the ' wood tisanes and absorb or eat away ' the aolid parts. JTba collapse which results is called decay. Timber is nrtifioaUy preserved by foreing into its oella and Spores .'certain substances j which (prevent the growth of fungi. , As long as this substanoe is present in , sufficient quantity, the germs of decay, , — the treads and spores of fungus— can , not enter, and the wood is preserved . This often means doubling and sometimes trebling the life of the timber. The United States .Government conaiders the investigations of the preservative treatment of timber of such importance that the business of one office of the United States Forest Service, that of Wood preservation, with new headquarters at MaCison. Wis., is given over entirely to the work of experiments in cooperation with railroad companies and other corporations and individuals in prolonging the life of , railroad ties, mine props, bridge tim- j era, fence posts and transmission poles. . The lengthening of the life of tim- , bar means the saving of thousands of dollars annually through doing away with the heavy expense of labor and cost of material for renewals.

In Live Stock Farming 1L — Windbreaks and Buildings. By C. V. GREGORY. Author of "Home Course In Modern Agriculture." "Maklns Money on the Farm." Etc. Cepyrifbt. 1B0B. by American Press Association. IN most parts of the country it ia necessary to provide souie sort of shelter for the stock during a considerable portion of the year. ! Good buildings are expensive, and it ! takes a number of years to get the j farm improved as it should be. By having a definite plan iu mind, bowever. every building that is put up cau be made to conform to that plan, and the final results will be much better than if the work had been gone at in a haphazard manner. There is usually a rise of ground somewhere along the road thai makes a good building site. Natural draiu age is very imiionant. as the yards will be sluppy enough at best in a wet season. The first step after the site has been selected is to provide a good windbreak on tbe north 'and west. Tberc is uutbiug so effective for a windbreak us an evefgreeu hedge. Tbe best evergreens to use for this purpose are the pines. Of these the I Scotch pine is one of tbe hardiest and | is also a fairly rapid grower. It does ) not make us good a windbreak as some of the others, however. The Austrian and bull plues are among the best for windbreaks. White pine Is a rapid grower and is very \ aluatile for lumber when It reaches sufficient size. ! The worst fault with it is that it is rather tender when young. The while

no. iii.— oood individual hog house. is an excellent windbreak tree, growing rapidly and making a dense hedge. It is of little value for timber purposes, however. Setting the Windbreak. Two rows of evergreeus are suffident for an effective windbreak. If set sixteen feet apart, with the trees in the second row opposite tbe spaces the first, they will in a few years form a mass that will he practically windproof. Willows, catalpas and other quick growing trees make fair windbreaks and grow up quickly enough to be useful for a number of years before the evergreeus are big enough to do any good. Unless planted very thickly, however, much •>( their effectiveness is lost in the1 winter at tbe very time wbeu they ore most needed. It la a good practice to plant a few of these quick growing trees outside the evergreens. They will protect both tbe evergreens und tbe buildings until the former are large enough be effective. Then the temporary trees can be cut down for posts and wood. It is sometimes hard to kill willows after they once get a start, with the aid of a few sheep or goats this can be accomplished. Little care is needed to get a stand of willow treks. hut with evergreens the case is different. A strip of land three or four feet wide, where the is to be, should be plowed, iu the prairie states spriug is the best lime transplant'. Two to four year "hi are generally used. Tbe greatest cause of failure with is allowing the root system to become dry. After tbe routs aiv unee dry ibe tree might us well Is soon as the trees are taken from Hi. packing of wet moss iu which the? are received they should la- placed i pall of 'water. They should not I* removed from this until the hole it which they are to go is dug. Thet they should be placed in the bole itu mediately and covered with fine dirt It is important to lamp this dirt tight ly about the roots. If tbe soil h I packed well enough watering will not ! be necessary, in most eases the trees will be belter off without It. Ever greens should not be eut back in trans planting, as is doue with other trees as this causes uneven growth. If a strip on each side of the Inn's is eulM rated for a few years Ibe trees will grow faster and be inore vigorous. Building Material. Tbe question of building materia! is an important one on tbe farm ubere there is tutu-h building to he done I.umlter Is undoubtedly the most convenient itutl In most cases probably the cheapest also When durability Is considered h.-wever. lumber is inferior to other materials This is estss-ially true of tin ottnlUy or lumber that i« coming on tin. market in the last fev.Cemeut bag been much lauded as a building material. It has many uses and advantages. There is a tendency, to overestimate the value oi cement and to look at it as tbe best possible material under all conditions

be safe and permanent tbe cost of a I cement building is high. The cost of forms amounts to a greet deal, and a man who is skilled In handling cement is needed to Insure a good job A more satisfactory building ma •••rial' in roost cases ia hollow brick or !>:i!1dlng tUe. These brick can be tfead11 v obtained in most sections of tbe country. Tbe coet la little higher than that of lumber, and they will last u* ■ long as cement. A tile buildhig • wanner than a single walled ceui -.i one on account of tbe dead nlr spre e m the walla. It takes much loss vfc.il. to put up a tile building than one of cement, and consequently the coal or • construction will be less. For ihe f smaller buildings the tile tnay be pot . up edgewise. In building tbe bam It i will be necessary to lay tbem flatwise j up to tbe liny floor. From there up ' they may lie set on edge. They should ® lie laid iu strong cement mortar. Cement' blocks may I*- used In the same ' manner as the building tile. Reefs and Floors. 1 There nre funny rooting materials r that can be used iu place of shingles. 1 Souie of ibese can be purchased a little . li.-aper. but In lastiug qualities tbey 1 are Utile belter than good shingles. » Tbe life of shingles can be increased three or four times by treating tbem s with creosote as described in article 1 .1. The only trouble with this is the ; discomfort of handling tbe treated 1 shingles. < For floors there is nothing ltetter 1 than cement. CeniPot floors are much • more durable thau any other kind aud • cost only a little more to start with ; For the smaller buildings the floor can I lie built first and tbe buildiug set ou ' it with no other foundation. Heavy ' buildings, like liarns, should have solid ' stone foundations. The hog house floor may be built to extend out about 1 twelve feet on each side, thus malting r a clean feediug floor for the fattening • bogs or a sunning place tor the early • pigs. p The foundation for a cement floor should consist of six inches or more ■f cinders oi gravel. If tbe location is uot high and well draioed a line ot lile should be laid through this material to carry away any water that may collect. On this foundation a layffr of concrete should be laid three to five inch*- thick, according to tbe purpose tor which the floor is to be used. Horse stable floors need to be much stronger than those tor a hog house or machine shed. For most farm purposcs the best proportions to mix tbi. concrete are one part cement, three I>aris clean sand and six parts broken stone or gravel. , This should be spread smoothly and tamped. As soon as it . has set for a few hours it is ready ' for the flnisbing coat, r A finishing or wearing surface Is nee- ■ essary where tbe floor is subject to much use. it is also smoother and . easier to keep elean. it should be r made of one part Portland cement to , one aud one-half parts saDd and be put j on to a depth of from one to one and ' one-half inches. As soou as it lias begun to set it can be grooved iuto blocks . about six inches square to prevent tbe animals from slipping. The floor should be covered with about an inch ' of sand aud sprinkled dally for two or _ three weeks, when It will be ready for Cement Tanks. [ Cement tanks are durable aud comparatively cheap. Several small ones ' Id tbe different yards, connected with 1 tbe welt or with an elevated tank by 1 underground pipes, are a great convenience. The water iu small tanks is changed often and hence is kept fresh i Where the pumtrtng Is doue by a windmill there is danger of a small tank I going dry during a calm, but with a I storage tank or a gasoline engine to . pump this trouble Is eliminated. A foundation of gravel or, cinders should be made mucb the same as for I a floor. Rough boards cau l>e used to ' make forms. These should lie greased on the inside, the concrete mixed to l • the consistency of jelly aud poured in and tauqied Woven wire tuakes good I re-entorcing for small tanks. For lar- ( ; gerones steel rods will be needed, the i proper mixture tor a concrete tank is ' i eight imrts cement, two parts sand I and tour parts gravel. The skie walls (

so that they will not be cracked by ii-e 1 In winter. After the forms are re- ' moved brush tbe Inside of the l auk with a paste of pure cement to pre i vent any leakage. In locatiug the buildings keep convenience always in mind and figure to ■ save as many steps in doing chores as ' possible. Do Dot have tbe barn too * i far away from the bouse, if you build a silo, have it at the end of tbe cow stable, where most of the silage | ■ will be used. Have all the buildings ' where stock ia kept as close together as possible and corn cribs and granaries i close to each building. This -matter of i saving steps is not regarded as careful , ly as it sbonld be. Every device whici lessens the actnal labor on a farm i: ! worthy of consideration, and the step i saving scheme ia by no means trivial. I
