Good buildings nre expensive, and it
takes a number of years to get the
farm Improved as It should be. By
having a definite plan in mind, bow
ever, every building that iH put up can
be made to conform to that plan, and
the final results will be much better
thau If the work had been gone at iu
a haphazard uiauuer.
There Is usually a rise of ground
somewhere along the road that makes
a good building site. Natural drain
age is very important,' as the yards
will be sloppy euough at best iu a wet
season. The tirst step after the site
has been selected is to provide a good
windbreak on the north and west.
There is nothing so effective for a
windbreak as an evergreen hedge.
The best evergreens to use for this
purpose are the pines. 'Of these the
Scotch pine Is one of the hardiest aud
Is also a fairly rapid grower. It does
not make as good a windbreak as
some of the others, however. The
Austrian and bull plues are among the
best for windbreaks. White piuejs a
rapid grower aud is very valuable for
lumber when it reaches suflicieut size.
The worst fault with It Is that It Is
rather tender when young. The white

growing rapidly and making a dense
hedge. It is of little value for timber
purposes, however.
Setting the Windbreak.
Two rows of evergreens are suffi
cient for an effective windbreak. If
set sixteen feet apart, with the trees

other quick growing trees make fair
windbreaks aud grow up quickly
""enough to be useful for a number of
years before the evergreens are big
euough to do any good. Unless plant
ed very thickly, however, much of
their effectiveness Is lost in the winter
at the very lime when they are tuost
needed. It Is a good practice to plant
a few of these quick growing trees
outside the evergreeus. They will pro
tect both the evergreens, and the build
lugs until the former are large euough
to be effective. Theu the temporary
trees ran be cut down for posts aud
wood. It Is sometimes hard to kill
willows after they once get a start,
out wun tue aid or a few sheep or
goats this can be accomplished.
Utile care Is needed to get a stand
of willow trees, but with evergreens
the case is different. A strip of land
three or four feet wide, where the
row Is to be, should be plowed. In the
prairie states spring Is the best time
to transplant. Two to four year old
trees are generally used.
The greatest cause of failure with
evergreens Is allowing the root system
to become dry. After the roots are
once dry the tree might as well be
thrown away, as it will not grow. As
soon as the trees are takeu from the
packing of wet moss In which they
are received they should be placed In
a pall of water. They should not be
removed from this uutll the hole In
which they are to go is dug. Then
they should be placed in the hole im
mediately and covered with One dirt.
It is Important to tamp this dirt tight
ly about the roots. If the soil Is
Dacked well ennnch wnfprlnn- will nnt
be necessary. In most cases the trees'
will be be;ter off without it. Ever
greens should not be cut back in trans
planting, as is done with other trees,
as this causes uneven growth. If a
strip on each side of the trees is cul
tivated for a few years the trees will
grow faster and be more vigorous.
Building Material.
The question of building material Is
an Important one on the farm where
there Is much building to be done.
Lumber Is undoubtedly the most con
venient and in most cases probably
the cheapest also. When durability Is
considered, however, lumber Is Inferior
to other materials. This Is especially
true of the quality of lumber that Is
coming on the market in the last few
years.
Cement has been much, lauded as a
building material. It has many uses
and advantages. There is a tendency,
however, to overestimate the value of
cement and to look at it as the best
possible material under all conditions
Gladstone Improvements
Tuesday, November D,' at a special
meeting of the Gladstone Improve
ment Club, a final motion was passed
for the adoption of the proposed chnr
ter for the city of Gladstone, for
the incorporatiou the clab has been
working in the war of special meet
ings held every Monday in the school
buil ling. Several difficulties have
arisen, bat on the whols the chatter
will be about the same as other city
charters.
The boundaries were set aud will
take in all of the Feudal C. Cnson
donation land claim, the south half of
the Rhinerson donation land claim
lying east ot the river road.
Hid cirriimslanrcs. For Doors, walks,
tanlis, etc. (here is nothing better, but
for l he buildings themselves oilier ma
terials are Just as good us or better
than cement. If built solidly enough to
be safe and permanent the cost of a
cement building Is high. The cost of
forms amounts to a great deal, and
a man who is skilled Jn handling ce
ment is uooded to Insure u good job.
A more satisfactory building ma
terial In most ca,ses Is hollow brick or
building tile. These brick can be read
ily ubiiihicd Iu most sections of the
country. The cost is Utile higher than
that of lumber, und they will last as
long as cement. A tile-building Is
warmer tliiin i single walled cement
one on account of the dead air space
In the wall's. It takes much less skill
to put up a 1 tie building i ban one of
cement, and consequently the cost of
construction will be' less. For the
smaller buildings the tile may be put
up edgewise. In building the barn it
will be necessary to lay tbenuflalwlse
up to the hay floor. From there up
they may be set on edge. They should
be laid in strong cement mortar." Ce
ment blocks may be used in the same
manner as the building tile.
Roofs and Floors.
There are many rooting materials
that can be used in place of shingles.
Some of these can be purchased a little
cheaper, but In lasting qualities they
are little better than good shingles.
The life of shingles can be increased
three or four times by treating them
with creosote ns described in article
1. The only trouble with this is the
discomfort of handling the treated
shingles. ' v
For floors there is nothing better
than cement. Cement floors are much
more durable than any other kind aud
oost only a little more to start with.
For the smaller buildings the floor can
be built first. and the building set on
it with no other foundation. Heavy
buildings, like burns; should have solid
stone foundations. The hog house floor
may be built to extend out about
twelve feet on each side, thus making
a clean feeding floor for the fattening
hogs or a sunning place for the enrly
pigs.
ihe foundation for a cement floo
should, consist of six inches or more
of cinders or gravel. If the location
is not hlglfund well drained a line of
tile should be laid through this mate
rial to carry away any water that may
collect. On this foundation a layer of
concrete should be laid three to five
Inches thick, according to I be purpose
for which the floor is to be used.
Horse stable floors' need to be much
stronger thnu those for a hog hous,e
or machine shed. For most farm pur
poses the best proportions to mix this
concrete are one part cement, (hree
parts- 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 finishing coat.
A finishing or wearing surface is nec
essary where the floor Is subject to
much Use. It is also smoother and
easier to keep clean. It should be
maun or one part portland cement to
one and one-half parts sand and be put
on to a depth of from one to one and
one-half Inches. As soon as it has be
gun to set it can be grooved Into blocks
about six Inched square to prevent the
animals from slipping. The floor
should be covered with about an inch
of sand aud sprinkled daily for two or
three weeks, when It will be ready for
use.
Cement Tanks.
Cement tanks are durable and com
paratively cheap Several small ones
In the different yards, connected with
the well or with uu elevated tank by
underground pipes, are a great con
venience. The water in small tanks Is
changed often and hence Is kept fresh
Where the pumping Is done by a wind
mill there is danger of n small tank
going dry during a calm, hut with a
storage tank or a gasoline engine to
pump this trouble Is' eliminated. '
A foundation of gravel or cinders
should be made much the same as for
a floor. Uough boards can be used to
make forms. These should be greased
on the iuside, the concrete mixed to
the consistency of jelly and poured In
and tamped. Woven wire makes good
re-enforcing for small tanks. For lar
ger ones steel rods will be needed. The
proper mixture for a concrete tank Is
eight parts cement, two parts sand
aud four parts gravel. The side walls
should slope outward toward the top,

so that they will not be cracked by Ice
in winter. After, the forms are re
moved brush the Inside of the ttfuk
wltb a paste of pure cement to pre
vent any leakage.
In locating the buildings keep con
venience always In mind aud figure to
6ave as many steps- in doing chores as
possible. Do not have the barn too
far away from the house. If you
build a silo, have it at J; lie end of the
cow stable, where most of rthe slluge
will be used. Have all the buildings
where stock Is kept as close together
as possible and corncrlbs and granaries
close to each building. This matter of
saving p.teps is not regarded as careful
ly as It should be. Every device which
lessens the actual labor on a farm Is
worthy of consideration, and the step
saving scheme is by no means trivial

His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but
eating it strengthens and en
' larges the thyroid gland this
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
"It seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
Scotch) has baen in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal

The Scotch eat Quaker Oats
because it is tht best of all oatmeals.
