It has one drawba.c1—it wastes. far
more water than it puthes to the
buildings, and hence canonly be in-
stallectwh.ere tne supply is from five
to twenty times as great as required
at the buildiegs. The efficiency of
the ram is from 65 to 90 Per cent.,
i.e., it uses 64 to 90 per cent. of the
energy of the;falling water. Suppose
the spring supplies 10 gallons per
miaute and the fall from the spring
to the ram is five feet. Multiply
these together and then 'take 65 per
cent. of the product, and we have the
energy available for driving water to
the buildings;
Energy in 1 this cane 65-X00 x la

Now divide this by the height of the

If, for !examle, the height is 32.5
feet then

1-40 of the -water supplied by the

• Consequentlylwith tiVe feet of head
and 32.5 feet of lift the ram will
deliver at the buildiags 1-10 of the
water in the spring. The quantity
that will be delivered with other
heads, lifta and spring -flows may be
calculated ini a similar way.
Generally speaking it is found that
for each 10 feet of lift there should
be one foot Of head, but there is a
limit -4t is seldom adv14ble, to in-
stall rams where the head Is less than
say two feet; although they have
been known ta work with as little as
18 inches. The length of drive pipe
should not be less than three-quar-
ters of the vertical lift to the build-
ings, nor less than five times the fall
from the spring to the ram. It may
however, be lenger, but seldom ex-
ceeds 50 feet, and 75 feet might be
taken as an extreme length for sizes
of ram suitable for farm conderm.

The cost of installing a ram is not
great. For the smallest size of ram
• it will run lie the nighborhoodof
$25 to $35 and about $15 extra for
each hunnred feet between tlie
spring and the ram. Thus if they
were 100 feet apart the total cost
would be 'froxi 140 to $50, but if
200 feet then Rani $55 to 465, and
other distances in proportion. The
largest size efi standard ram can be
installed at about $100 if the ram

0 hard and fast rules can be
laid down for the erection of
a convenient and efficient
granary. Each problem re-
uires a knowledge of local coudi-
.t ions and requirements. Granaries,
la the majority of cases, are built
:n enclosures on the barn floor, and
tonstructed with too little regard for
ierength, durability and convenience.
These structures should be located
mmediately oter the feed room, each
ten having a chute with a control -
ung slide, or a, canvas distributor to
olivey the gtain to the hopper of
he grinder; ;or if the grain is 'in -
ended for market, to a sack placed
_ot the scalesIbeiow the chute ready
et receive it: To facilitate emptying
the grain, theloor of the bins should
,10 sioping.
The important consideration in the
ionstruction of granaries end bins
:!)r loose grain is to be sure that the
ttructure is designed with sufficient
ttrength to prevent bulging of the
eides and springing of the floor, for
rain, owing: to its enormous out-
ward• thrust,, corresponding some-
what to that of water, has a ten-
dency to buret the sides unless well
u raced or stpported. Timber con-
struction requires frequent repairs to
orevent decaa and general deprecia-
ma from use. it * always liabie to
eiim.a.te conditions. The boars will
crack and shrink in the -summer when
de bins may be empty, and when the
new grain is dumped into the bins an
enormous quantity promptly dis-
apears into the cracks and crevices
au.d through, mice holes, entailing
.e.isiderable [ loss to the farmer, to
the consumer and to the nation,
Thousands of bushels of grain are, lir
is way; annually lost to the pro-
encers throgh sheer indifference to
ite conditioe of the granary. Yet
his preventable waste may be easily
...emedied and made secure by lining
ihe bins with sheet metal.
The watchword is "Conservation:'
;very grani is needed to feed the
empire and its Allies. it is, there-
fore, highly desirable at this time
:o bend every effort to , eliminate all
eussible leakages and conserve our
erain for the need of the Allied na-
tions. While there is an annual de-
preciation on a timber structure
venying from 4 to 8 tao, .concrete con-
euction grows ;3etter as it grows
eld; ,hence concrete properly re-
uforced, is the __Wenn matinee; tor
granaries, because u, is both damp-
proof and rat -prof, two very &men
tial factors in the construction • of
granaries.
Coacrete properly made to euit
eidsting conditions, is absolately im-
pervious to moisture, and can be
kept as dry as any structure of wood
eVer built. The experience of mane -
farmers is that grain; mature &tough
to be placed in storage, will not spoil
on contact with conerete, nor will
corn. Mold, provided there is good
ventilation and the roof is tight. To
get rid of rats and mice destroy their
nesting place and to this end con-
crete is, pre-eininently the best ma-
terial Ana is recommen.den for all
farm structures.
Under average( present day con-
ditionsa reinfoeced concrete granary
may represent an additional outlay
of about 25% over that required to
construct of timber, but the high effi-
ciency distinctive of concrete quick-
• iy oftsets this increased initial cost.
Contrete construction has many in
short, important advantages. Thh
coatenis are safe from the depreda-
tions of rodents, is damp-proof, re-
quires neither paint nor repairs, is
fireproof, the •grain s perfectly pre-

A great mistake hvas made in the
older parts of Ontario, when praotit
cally- all the trees were cut down,
thus leaving no shade for cattle and
other live stock. When the late Prof.
Brown was in. 'caarge of the On-
tario Agricultural College farm and
live stock, he planted small groves
of trees on various parts of the Col-
lege farm, and no more pleaeant sight
may be seen than that of the College
iierd lying, in the shade among these
trees on a hot day. These groves

where no shade a available itt the

wood -lot can be utilized for the
stock during the heat of the day,

is to keep the cattle in a darkened
stable for part of the day. his means
a good deal of extra labor cleaning
the , stable, and keeping the • dews

ditiens may not be practicable on
many farms. However,/ where there
is the necessary labor 'available and
particularly where cows are receiving
soiling or silage feed to sapplement
the pasture, the feeding in the sta-
ble may well take /place during the
day, and the cows be kept inside
while it is vete hot. This plan also
reduces worry from flies, when the
windows are covered to make the
stable dark.
Water Necessary for Comfort • and
• Milk Production.
Cows frequently suffer from lack
of sufficient water. As a boy, the
writer remembers driving- cattle to
"Bat Crick," in. Brant County, during
dry spells. Thecows were nearly
famished whenthey reached the
"Crick" and w-oaId drink until thea
looked like bursting. By the time
they reach home, after walking for
a mile -and -a -half over a dusty road,"
the cattle were nearly as thirsty as
ever.
The only safe source of a sure
water supply le a deep well, driven
or bored, and having the water puip-
ed by windmill or other sources of
power, with a storage tank for emer-
geneies. There is no part of Ontario
M. which etitt abundance of water can-
not be obtained, if we •go deep
enough to tap the hidden sources of
supply.

Get Corn Binder In Shae.
To handle the corn crop expedi-
tiouply, economically, and successful-
ly some kind of a corn harvester is
an ansoldte necessity, and it must be
in good working order. 'various
cheap machines have been tried and
touad wanting, but the cornenintler
has [become a permanent fixture on a
large number of farms in tliie pro -
vine.
T4T 0 are several kinds of corn
bineers on the market, and while
ea.cth kind may have its special merit
as t6 the arrangement a its essential
parts trouble muet arise If these
parts are not properly cleaned, oiled
and kept in alignment
The litdvancing part of the corn
binder consists of two diverging jaws
which may be raised or lowered by
an arrangement of levers. Attached
to each jaw are two or three travel-
ling chains, furnished with fingers.
Their function is to convey the stalk
to the binding deck in an f upright
position- as the machine advances.
The chains shciiild not be toe loose
or they- will ride the teeth of the
sprocket and slip down. the teeth.
Machines having packers,—to pre-
vent ears being knocked off by jam-
ming the stalks behind the needle;
see' to, it that the packers yield
slightly while' the bundle is being
tied. Too many bundles crowding
the carrier will interfere with the
°juting attachment properly freeing
arid. The knotter and the needle
cannot do their work efficiently when
cOvered with rust. Polish them with
tine emery cloth. If the knife of the
knetter is dull sharpen lt or it will
mese trouble by pulling the twine
froea the hook before the knot is
made. As it requires considerable
.poseer to cut the sappy stubble, and
dot tear it up by the roots, the knife
should be thoroughly keen, othericise
v il I clog with grass and weeds.
Th stubble -cutter should also 'be
kept in good condition. It is a Use -
tut device, and when rightly sharp -
end and adjusted does not add very
much to the draft.
Do not depend on a superficial
examination of the machine to ac-
quaint yonrself if it needs repairing,
because if you. do, you will surely
miss some small, but vital part need-
ing attention, if not replacing. If
these break during the busy season
they will cause greater breakagea
and serious loss.
Clean the machine thoroughly with
benzine, gasoline or kerosene. Go
over every part of the machine, and
wade doing this you will locate loose
belts and worn or broken parts. Oil -
holes and wells should be cleaned
oat, and new waste, if required, put
into the wells. Refill the grease
cups; in short, renew and repair any-
thing and everything that requires
attention. — Prof. John Evans, On-

We present when food is scarce and
tb.e supply of old grain has been ex-
hausted before the freshly -threshed
grain is ready there is a likelihood
that m.ore new- grain than usual will
be fed to the live stock and conse-
quently greater care should .be exer-
cised to avoid _digestive detange-
meats.
The horse is generally considered
a little mare susceptible to digestive
troubles following changes
practiee tha,n are other lasses
of farm live stock. It is alway well
to make ehanges, very gradually and
caefully. The main grain feed of
the horse -in this country is oata, and
new oats should always be fedi with
great care. Hard -worked horses
should, if it is at all possible, lie fed
old oats and the new grain left to
dry and cure for a few weeks, after
threshing-. At any rate to avoid colic,
acute indigestion and inflammation
new oats ehould first form only a
part of the grain ration, being raixed
with old oats and possibly a little
bran and the percentage of the new
grain gradually inereased until the
horses are on full feed. Sadden
changes from_ old to new- man are
especially dahgeroua with tiae horse
and particularly with the horse at
heavy work and on a heavy cOncen-
trate ration, There is, of course, a
difference due to the time of thresh-
ing. Grain which remains in 'stack
or mow for several weeks and, thus
becomes dry and cured ds not so
dangerous as that threshed directly
• from the fend or immediately after
harvesting.
As a rule heavy feedneg of grain
is not practiced with cattle anti sheep

the new regulation from the Canada -
Food Board with referenee to the:.
manufacture of ice-cream, and also,
as to methods of testing ice-crearn

Order No. 34, section 8, issued by -
the Canada Food Board reads: "On

in Canada shall use in the manufac-
ture of ice-cream more than 10 per

ro Grow Tomatoes Most Successful's':
if you are growing tomatoes to a

side shoots before they become of
any size. All. the extra food which
is used in their ' growth is wasted
and the breaking off of large shoots
injures the pl.nts. When August

When first fruits begin to ripen,

these are more especially valuable
alter the growth has been stopped.
Keep a dust Mulch around the
plants. if the weather is ver e dry,
soak the ground around them thor-
oughly in the evening, then make a

When the first fruits in staked
tomatoes are beginning co color, re-
move one-half of each leaf. Tie* will

mssary for rapid ripening.

FARM COLD STORAGE

Simple and Efficieint Running Water
Systems for the Farm—Bow Full
Directions Regarding Equipment

(Contributed by Ontario Department or
Agriculture. Toronto.)
COLD storage is a room
or building, depending upon
the 'size, cooled by ice or
by some mechanical meane.
In short, it is aplace for keeping food
products cool in the hot weather.
Since the farms eroduce the food
and since the cooling of it should be
done quickly and immediately after
its production, say milk for example,
in order to keep it in -good condition
as long as possible, would it not seem
good business and .economy to have
the cold storage en the farm?' This
applies to our farms particularly
since they produce such very per-
ishable products as milk, butter,
eggs, fruit and meat. If there was
no other advantage in having cold
storage on the farm than that it pro-
vides a place in which to keep the
daily victuals cool and sweet, there
would seem to be a good reason for
including it in the farm equipment.
There are many ways of providing
a small cold storage on the farm, but
with the exception of very large fruit
or dairy farras, the same principle
applies to all, namely, that ice is
used as the means of cooling. The
method of applying the ice to the
( best advantage constitutes the prob-
lem in each individual case. This Is
why no one system can be recant -
mended for all cases. It is my inten-
tion to describe briefly below one,
type which should give good service
in many farm homes.
The particular name of this sys-
tem is the Bunker system. It con-
sists of a small TOOin a few feet
square with a bunker or box or rack
at one side for holding
the cakes of
ice. It IS separated from the room
by a partition which is kept a few
inches eittyre floor and likewise from
