Co-operation is the order of the

means greater progress in a shorter

There is a lot of money in the
country, something like 265 billion
dollars f.iat is being increased at the
rate of ten billions every year.
We met every situation that the
war demanded. Surely it ought to
be as easy to meet any situation that
will come up in peace time.

years old and had lived in the moun

(Prepared by the United States Depart

The weather bureau of the United
States department of agriculture has
arranged, in co-operation with the
state highway commission of Pennsyl

tortruck traffic during the winter over
the Lincoln highway between Pitts
burgh aud Harrisburg by giving out
daily Information of the weather con
ditions prevailing over the route and
Issuing weather forecasts and warn
ings of heavy snows and cold waves
for the region traversed. The plan is
for the assistant superintendents of
highways at points along the route to
report to the weather bureau office at

FARMER'S CHANCE NOW HERE
Removal of Government Restrictions
Enables Him to Construct Build
ings That Are Badly
Needed.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and pive advice FREB OP
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on tiie farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor. Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Addresr all Inquiries to William, A. Rad
ford,' No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
111., and only Inclose three-cent stamp for
reply.
The farmer, who has been denied
during the last two years the new
buildings the expansion of his business
has required, will hail with satisfac
tion his chance to put up that new
barn, silo, horse barn, or cattle or hog
house that he has needed for many
mouths.
But during the time of his Inactivity
there have been rapid strides made in
designing commodious and sanitary
fine place in bad weather for grinding
feed, etc. The gate at the outer end
m the scales swings out and joins a
small gate at the loading chute, mak
ing ir handy to do the loading.
Tiie sleeping pens, granary an:Lorn
crib are all floored with hollow tilo
with two inches of concrete over them.
The corn crib aud granary have stud
ding sockets set in the concrete on top
of the wall. The sills in the hog house
are bolted down to the top of the foun
dation wall. There is a slat door be
tween tiie corn crib and granary, so as
to make it tight when the granary la
full of small grain.
The roof is shingled with composi
tion shingles and the siding is fir drop
siding. Everything is of the best ma
terials aud is built in the best possible
way. All the foundation walls are re
inforced. The floor of the hog house slopes to
the center, so as to drain into the sew
er which runs out under the feeding
platform. The feeding platform slopes
to the outside and also at one, end.
The feed trough also slopes and is
fitted with a drain nt one end.
All Fittings Are Modern.
The fittings of the house tire mod
ern in every respect. One of these is
a waterer that will not freeze. Con
crete floors and feeding troughs make
it easy to keep the building clean, and
cleanliness has been found to be a
prime factor in the successful produc
tion of hogs,
This hog house Is only one of the
buildings that will be erected on the
farms this year that contains mnny
up-to-dute features in construction and
equipment.
There is a growing demand among
the farmers for these modern build-
