Repair Farm Buildings Before Cold Weather Ralelgrh. K. C.. No* . 22.? Con ? traction the necessary outhouses sheds and repairing the bam# nud other buildings is a good job to occupy one's attention before ? >ld weather o?mes~. The buildings usually constructed during the late fall consist of im plement sheds, poultry houses an<| hog houses, states Pros. David S. Weaver, agricultural engineer at State College. Where concrete fourf datl ns or floors are to be used,' it is best to put these in before bard freezing weather comes. "This work is not expensive when the labor on the farm is used," says Trof. Weaver. "The prospe-tive builder should talk the matter o-er with his lumber -dealer and nee hr\v little ash it takes to put up a sl.ed in' which to house the machinery. We find that there is a depreciation of about fifteen per cent each wint er in that machinery allowed to rtanil uncovered and exposed to the weather. Somethimes, this amount i f depreciation on high priced ma chinery will pay Jbr conitrurting the building in which . it should be housed." , (Repairs are n^cess'ary., also, es pecially in the dairy barns. Prof. Weaver states that the \ess .food required to maintain the body heat cf the milk cow, the more she will Vavc t>> use in the production f milk. Half of a day spent in re pairing the stable will keep out the cold winds of- winter and will bring : big return in milk and satisfac tion. All holes in the roof and walls >hould he closed, drainage provided ?;nd the windows made snu;? ard I rght. This d es ?not mean, however, that nil ventilation ? should be closed off. Plenty of fresh air without drafts blowing directly on the cow is the proper thing for p.roducii>g animals.
