L'l.-It h been i-niuialecl by the Nebraska college of agriculture that the arerng farmer, in doing bis e,0,-es, wnll.s one unnoeessar.v mile a day. all on nt'couut of i in i'i' !!- nrransoment ,f his farm buildiugs. To start the hundreds of cinliri'.. farmers at tho college on the ticlu road, the students the college have' built a model farmstead in miniature i which represents a nearly ideal ar rangeinent for a llKP-acro farm in Ihe prairie states, ltuilt to one-quarter scale in the workshops of the college, j i.n: mown now sianus on the cainpus where it offers .ocular evidence of the correct way to lay out buildings, fences and the like. Buildings Included The buildings comprising the model I include a comfortable, attractive '. farmhouse, set on a concrete founda- ; tion and equipped with modern con- : veniences: au up-to-date dairy burn with a solid wall concrete silo: a hay 1 shed for alfalfa! a horse barn; a hog j house; a tool shed and shoo: a noiil-, try house and a machine shed. The plan was worked out for one par ticular farm, and has been tried out with great success on farms in sev eral counties of Nehrnska. Working on the theory that every farm is a factory, in a sense, the Ne braska college expects, through the medium ot us model farmstead to j suow lae coming generation of farm- ; ers now to avoid many of the unnee essnry handicaps under which their fathers labored. f As one-fifth of the i value of all farm properties is invest-! cd in buildings, it becomes apparent j what importance attaches to their construction with relation to one au-1 other. Duties Considered In disposing the buildings of thci model farmstead so as to reduce to a minimum the number of steps Ihe average farmer has to take each day in performing his ordinary duties, consideration was given to the ques tion or just wnat these duties con sist of. A general plan was then worked out which, in the model j inrmsieau lanes turn irom place, to ! place as follows: When starting out on his morning chores he goes from the house to lite barn, where he tends the horses ami eolts, cows and calves, and, after separating the milk, feeds the calves. The skim milk that remains is then carried to the pigs nt tho farrowing peus, after which tho farmer goes) EXPECT BIG CfiflP rEXnr.ETfN. Fh.

The farm scales are so situated as to he handy for weighinc grain and stock, and it is possible to it from north to south, arid the build-1 mg is cool even in very hot weather In general, it is desirable that farm buildings should be placed close to the highway if possible, although the bouse should not he loo nenr a main automobile highway on account of the dust that arises from it. Another point advocated is that the buildings need not be close to the water supply.

' it Legume cultures prepared by tho bacteriology department of the ex periment station are being sent to farmers In Oregon, California, Ne vada, North Dakota and neighbor ing slates. One order was reeelv ed from Mexico last week for bac teria to inoculate 40 acres of gnr-i den peas. Cultures sufficient to Inoculate 7000 acres of legumes were sent out by the experiment station last! year. Tho heaviest demands are? from Oregon farmors. Out of state! orders como Inrgoly from O. A.

They contain bacteria which have the faculty of taking the ; nitrogen of tho air nnd making that nitrogen available for crop use. Tho legume rops will not grow with nny degree of success unless these bacteria nro present. Hacterla for the particular typo of legumo indicated are put up in two-acre size bottles, which aro sent post paid for nO cents each. This makes tho cost only cents an ncre for the culture.
