Mr. Blair states that when this

Slate College. Where concrete foundations
or floors are to be used ,it
is best to put these In before hard
freezing weather comes.
"This work is not expensive when
the labor on the farm is used," says
Prof. Weaver. "The prospective
builder should talk the matter over
with his lumber dealer and see how
litte cash it takes to put a shed in
which to house the machinery. We
find that there is a depreciation of
about fifteen percent each winter In
that mechinery allowed to stand uncovered
an dexposed to the weather.
Sometimes, this amount of depreciation
on high priced machinery will
pay for constructing the building in
which it should be housed."
Repairs aTe necessary, also, especially
in the dairy barns. Prof.
Weaver states that the less food required
to maintain the body heat o?
the milk cow, the more she will have
to use in the production of milk.
Half of a day spent in repairing the
stable will keep out the cold winds
of winter and will bring a big return
in milk and satisfaction. All holes
in the roof and walls should be clos
ed, drainage provided and the windows
made snug and tight.
This does not mean, however, that
al lventilation should be closed off.
Plenty o? fresh air without drafts
blowing directly on the cow is the
proper thing for producing animals.
LESS TB IN SWINE
Tuberculosis of swine has decreased
since 1924, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Although there is an improvement of
the tubeculosis situation, infection
among cattl eaiid swine received at
federally inspected packing establishments
is still rather extensive. Records
for the fiscal year 1926 show
that nearly 14 per cent of swine
showed tuberculosis to some extent,
though lesions were of a minor nature
in a large proportion of cases.
In 1924 about 15,2 per cent of the
swine inspected were diseased. Reports
from the department field
workers indicate that the large extent
of infection among swine is
coused partly by tuberculous poultry.
STILL MORE AUTOS
A total of 18,697 motor vehicles
were registered in this country during
ihe first six months of 1926, according
to the Bureau of Pupblic
Roads of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This is 1,927,141
more than were registered in the
corresponding period of 1925 or an increase
of 10.8 per cent. Florida led
with an increase of 76,2 per cent
LATE COVER CROPS

RALEIGH, N, C., Dec. 2?It is too
late in November to plant crimson
clover with any hope of success
with the crop but during the next
two or three weeks, such crops as
Abruzzi rye and vetch may be sown
with prqfit. These two crops will
produce good hay for next year when
planted by the last of November.
Oats or barley may als0 be planted

State.
In addition to the usual fundamental

I sist at State College. The fundamental
reasons bold good for any
year because the soil Deeds crops
which add fertility, which prevent
erosion and which store up plant
food for the use of the succeeding
money crop. Hay and grain is always
needed on any farm. This year,
however, Abruzzl rye seed is lower
in price than it has been before,
while oats and barley are lower in
price than in many years. Vetch is
only slightly higher than last year.
The second special reason which
Mr. Blair asigns for an increased
planting of cover crops is the need
to follow a live-at-home program in
the cotton growing section of {he
State. Common sense dictates that
cotton farmers, especially, shall prepare
to grow all their hay and feed
crops. Fall cover corps provide
plenty of hay to cut next spring and
summer.
The third reason is that the panic-stricken
cotton farmer will in
many cases rush headlong into tobacco
growing nevt eeason with the
same disastrous results that have occurred
in cotton growing this year.
The wise tobacco farmer, therefore
will insure his continued prosperity
by growing his own food and feedctiiffa

BUGS SCARCE NOW
HENS NEED FEED
i
RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 2?In the
summer the farm hen may forage^
for k supply of animal feed and garner
all the available bugs, worms,
and green feed needed to replenish,'
worn-out body tissue and to producel
an abundant quantity of eggs. But
winter has come now and the bugs
are gone. So has the green feed on
manjy farms and the hen must be
fed !if she is expected to product
eggs in profitable quantities.
"Eggs are high-priced in the fall
because so few farm hens are laying
at this season," says Dr. B. F.
Kaupp, head of the poultry department
at State College, "The two
usual reasons for low egg product
tion are found in the poor producj
ing power of the hen and secon^
because she may not have the proper
food and care. If the hen comeq
fro ma high producing strain and is
possible that she may not have a
comfortable house, or that she is not)
free of parasites, and does not have
the ; right kind of feed and otheij
cafe!"
Dr. Kaupp states that eggs are|
low in price during the spring
months because everybody's hens ard
laying then. Eggs always go down
in the spring and the farmers' organ-]
izations should store eggs at that

seventy-five cents and one foliar
per idozen because the hens are notj
laying. Then the storage houses
bring out cheap spring eggs to sell
at a good profit.
The poultry department has prepared
extension circulars 155,156 and
158 'which tell how to put the farm
flock on a paying basis. These bul
letins are free and wilj tell how tc
cull and feed the birds for wintei
eggs. It should be remembered
states Dr. Kaupp, that laying hern
must have mash before them at all
timejs. The mash must contain
crushed grains, minerals, fish oi
meat meal, or the surplus milk ol

PAINT BRU8HES
Paint should never be allowed to
dry on a brush. While still on a
Job, keep the brushes in raw linseed
oil between Intervals of work. Kerosene
oil is better for brushes used
Vlih flat paint. Hanging brushes
in raw lnseed oil over long periods
of time will keep them in good condition.
Or they may be washed in
turpentine, kerosene or mineral
spirits and then with soap and water,
dried thoroughly and covered
with wrapping paper.
.... WASTE LESS MILK .. ..
More of the constitutents of milk
are elther wasted or not well utilized
in the manufacture of butter than
in making any other dairy product,
declared Dr. C. W. Larson, Chief of
the Bureau of Dairying, United
States Department of Agriculture in
a recent address. Whlel there are
not now ways of using all of this
in a better way than through .the
feeding of livestock, before long,
soid octor Larson, it will be necessary
to use much more of it directly
as fod or otherwise dispose o? It to
better advantage.
PROGRESS IN DUST
EXPLOSION CONTROL
Oone of the early dust explosion
which took a toll of 18 lives, occurin
1878 in a flour mill. This disaster
led to efforts to develop methods
and equipment for effective dust
control. Marked progress has been
made 'n recent years in the control
of dust explosions and in the prevention
of resulting fires nf flour mills
since particularly. Only 4 lives have
been lost in dus texpiosions in flour
mills since the original explosion in
1878. Heavy losses, however have
occurred in many other grain and
milling industries.
TWO VALUABLE SMALL TREES
' j
Persimmon and dogwood, so necessary
for shuttles in the textile industry
of the world, are valuable
and are becoming increasingly more
difficult to obtain, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
As yet no satisfactory substitutes
for these two woods, either native or
foreign, have been found.
Many owners of dogwood timber
because of its small size,have not
realized its value, and have either
not made efforts to market it or
have allowed the dogwood and persimmon
to be injured when the larger
timber associated with it was removed.
NUT8
Now that nuts are in season, you
can enjoy them n a greiat many different
dishes. They not^ only improve
^ th eflavor of salads, cakes,
breaas, scalloped dishes and other
foods to which you add them, but
they increase the food value.
Uncontrolled rainwater sweeping
over the fields of North Carolina carries
away 20 times as much plant
food material each year as is permanently
removed by crops.

CR0P8 OF FUEL
"
In Belgium one may see trees from
which the branches have been trimmed
to considerable hights and even
the tops cut out, for fuel. So states
G. M. Hunt, Chief of the Department
of Agriculture's Forest Products Laboratory,
who has recently returned
from a five months' investigation of
European wood preservation me-hods.
These trees furnish crop, of
fuel just as other trees produce
crops of fruit. While such pract v. jb,
because of labor cost, may bo impracticable
in the United States, they
should nevertheless serve to illustrate
the possibilities in utilizing
more economically our rapidly
shrinking forest resources.
Rented Farms
That a fifth of the farm londlords
in this country own approximately
half of the rented farms, the other
four-fifths having but one tenant
each, is indicated by a survey conducted
by the Unite dStates Department
of Agriculture of the ownership
of rented farms in 184 counties
grouped in half the StateB.
Standard Road
I
Eighteen feet has come to be the
minimum standard width for main
highways, and except for roads in
the vicinity of large cities and a few
heavily traveled roads between cer- '
tain cities, this width will be ample
for several years to come.
SAVING IN PAVING
" A study by the Bureau of Public
; Roads of the United States Department
of Agriculture has demonstrated
that in the construction of brick
papeinent brick 2 and 2 1-2 inches
thick will give the service for which
thos or 3 and 4-inch thickness have
pio.ou y i.uen used. This discovery
Ishou'tl result in a material saving
wherever brick pavements are built.
CHICKEN-FLAVORED RABIT
Domestic rabbit meat possesses
delicious flavor, important food value,
and tastes more libe chicken than
j like wild rabbit, says the Biological
j Survey of the United States Departjment
of Agriculture. DoRmestic rabI
bits are raised in hutches, where
! they have only limited exercise and
j wkeetkey can be properly fed. They
! are cleanly in habits, and their diet
consisting chiefly of oats, barley, and
alfalfa hay, makes the meat sweet,
tender, and of excellent flavor.
Approximately 13,000 head of livestock
of al lages graze on the National
Forest ranges.
