A GOOD BARN Ian

This octagon barn has many good
points 1t is weil-known fact that a
circular wall will inclose a larger space
than the same amount Of wall placed in
any other shape. This barn is 80 feet
on each side, giving capacity of 6,257
square feet to each floor. This makes a
large barn, but general purpose barn
must necessarily do away with some
other buildings which are commonly
used. A barn 156x40 feet would give
nearly the same amount of room as this
one, but would require l04 feet more of
wall; one 125x5O, giving about the same
room, would require 62 feet of extra
wall The wall used here would build
a barn 60x3O and driving house SOxe4

On Saturday, September 81,
1890, the farmers will make another
attempt to meet and organize for
the purpose of securing legislation
to protect their water rights. The
majority of the farmers do not
understand the Importance of this
move or they would have organ
lied before. Some few men who
are far sighted enough to see the
Importance of action have made
three attempts to get the men
depending on water together, but
heve thus far failed to bring out
over q half dozen farmers. While
this question affects US all, more or
less, the farmer will be the first to
feel it when his water is suddenly
shut off, and they should therefore
manifest some interest in it if they
expect others to. The fact that
you have load of hay to haul or
some blowing to do, is no excuse
for your absence. AS was said in
THE TRIBUNE before, if you don't
protect your water rights, you will
soon have none to protect. Now is
your time to act. Get together and
decide what you want and demand
it. An organized effort will bring
you safe and just laws; nc effort 10
liable to bring you ruin. Come to
the Schoo, House in Caldwell On
Saturday. September n. 1890, and
you will meet many earnest, intel |
gent men. If you have nothing to
say the chances are that you will
learn something If you have
