This applies to cereal produc tions only. The profit o f the farmer is therefore less by that amount. The present cost o f transportation be ing 25 cents per mile per ton. if the roads were Improved to an average standard o f evenness and solidity the cost o f public highway transportation would be decreased by two-thirds, or 81-3 cents, which is even less than the cost o f public road traffic in other countries. Present country road condi tions considered, a farm er living ten miles from market spends $2.50 to haul thirty-three bushels o f wheat. This load o f wheat sells for about $25. Ten per cent o f the total value o f the grain is therefore expended in the hauling, which Is more than the thrashing and cutting combined. C H E A P AN D E N D U R IN G .

The same thing occurs in the Dairyman’s illustrations o f cow- barns. Why is it? The fellows who have covered pails w ith cotton, etc., are among the number w*bo seem to think daylight and sunshine are d etri ments to a cow's com fort while eon fined In the stable. My rule for w in dows in a cow barn is to make out your bill for twice ns many windows as you think you need, and then when your team lias gone to town after them telephone your lumber dealer to double tlu* bill at his end. Now. there are windows and w in dows. The Dairyman showed what was called a model dairy barn, and the windows looked more like knot holes or woodpecker holes than window's. Get good, big double sash, 10 by 12 lights, six lights to a sash, and have them not more than eight feet apart along walls north, south, west and east. Then put in skylights. It will pay btg. Now you have windows. Make all doors double—that Is. to open I bottom and top and never shut to * door unless low temperature or storms make it necessary.
