spread Eagle beaJS Dig Ike
In coming from Suffolk course, Phil
adelphia. the other day, John Splan,
the we'll known horse man, had a COM
pauion with him and was behind the
trOtter, Big Ike, to top wagon. They
met on the road Ike Street driving his
black PAGER, Spread Eagle. Splan at
tempted to pull out and pass the pac-
er but Street did not care to be busted
and they had it nip and tuck up the
road. When they reached Point
Breeze course they agreed to drive in
on the track and have it ont. After
getting on the course they squared
away and went the mile, Spread Eagle
finishing four lengths ahead with
Street bare-headed. He lost his hat
at the three quarter pole and Big Ike
put his foot through it. The motion of
the horse worked the hat up on his leg
making it look like patent knee
boot as he came mp the stretch. Splan
was very sorry for the damage he had
done the hat and to square matters he
took handsome pair of new quarter
boots from Big lke's big feet and pre-
scented them to Mr.. Street Breeders

Large Barns Unpro fitable.

II you have determined To build a
big barn this year, stop and count the
cost before you do it and try and cal
culate the earnings of the barn. The
writer has a barn that cost some thou
sands To build, and it does not earn as
much as "a few comfortable sheds would
that would have cost only a few hum
dreds. Banking and rough boards are
cheap. The frame alone to my barn
cost more than the entire farm build
ings should cost. | do not believe
there is large barn in existence that
affords pure air when decently filled
with stock, while with cheap sheds
pure air is the rule. With sheds Won
can afford the room To work into loose
boxes, which adds greatly to the COM
fort and growth of the animals. Money
invested in pure stock will earn you
something from the increase, bnt big
barn is "a constant source of expense
with almost no returns. Still how many
a farmer has mOrtgaged the farm to
build a great barn to beat some neigh
Dor, and never had a decent animal
