GOOD SHEEP BARN. :

Several Thinxs - Ise Considered Regard.
Ing Location and Conseructlon. =
In-building Q, permanent sheep barn
there are several things to be consid-
cred.
The location should be'high and dry,
facing the south, if possible. where
plenty of good. dry yard room can be
had.
The building must be so constructed
as to be free from dampness, drafts
and foul air.
very good barn for 100 sheep of
medium size may beSbuilt thirty by
fifty feet, either witsIa stone or BRICK

than eight feet high IN the clear land,
better, nine or ten), with many large
windows near the top, SO arranged as
to open and close easily. land with
three doors ten feet wide on the south

wagons to pass in and out in hauling
out the manure, and should be Kept
wide open. except in stormy weather
and when the wind blows in.
The barn above may be sixteen to
twenty feet high, and can easily DO
filed with hay from END door by
means of a hay fork and track.
We have two such barns-one thirty
by forty that accommodates eighty
large breeding ewes, another thirty
by sixty-four. We are often asked

why we did not build them wider.
answer that fifteen feet on each side
is far enough to move the hay dropped
in the center, and a wider barn would
be harder to ventilate. Oar hay loors
are in tho end, are twelve fe ct wide b
fourteen feet high. and hung at the
bottom on heavy hinges, have a staple
and ring near the top on the inside to
which a rope is attached to fas:en to
the hay-carrier to lower and raise tho
door as needed.
Where stone and brick are scarce
and expensive, the barn can be all
frame except a foundation. which
should be as high as the manure is al
lowed to accumulate.
Twenty-four-foot posts can be used
and the first eight feet taken for the
sheep stable and the balance used for
the hay barn. If ensilage is wanted it
can be built longer, and much at
one end used for a silo as is necessary
to supply the flock with q suc.ulent
ration each day.
It is good plan to build in the form
of an l.. as this gives shelter from the
prevailing winds, yet there is one OBJ
lection to this-lack of yard room.
The thirty by ffty-foot barn with
three wide doors can be divided into
three apartrlen is, with long feed racks,
or with movable panels of fence where
the round racks are used. ,two or
three hay chGteS should run p through
the cen Ter of tho barn; these should be
boarded up, with doors on sides that
should be kept shut when not feeding;
these act as ventilators and should
pass up to the ventilators in the cupolas
on the roof of the barn.

Do the Boes Necd Saltc

On account of the avidity with
which bees take salt. had supposed
1t Is necessary to salt my horses, hogs
and cattle, says a writer. If one does
not keep a salt trough for the bees
they are apt to swarm about his stock
and well troughs and many are
drowned; but SO long as salt water is
given them they do not go or bother
anywhere else. Where there are
streams or ponds convenient. bees,
especially if not saIted, will resort to
these for water: but even there are
certain spots that seem to yield min
eral or braclxish water they go to
suck. This shows their need of some

MOVING ON CONGRESS
Irrigation Engineers Will Act
AS a Unit.
How 1t Is Proposed TO Expedite the
Digging of bitches Across
Public Lands.

DENVER, Sept. 10.-The American So
ciety Of Irrigation Engineers is holding its
annual convention in this city. The fol-
lowing officers have been elected: Presi-
dent, James P. Maxwell; vice-president,
E. M. Boggs; secretary-treasurer, John s.
Titcomb; directors - g. w. Anderson,
Samuel Fortier and james D. Schuyler.
The committee appointed to suggest de-
sired amendments to the United States
statutes relating to the right of way of
canals and bitches over public lands,
through the chairman, Arthur P. Davis of
Cali ornia. submitted a draft for such
amendments, which was partially dis
cussed. The amendments are mainly to
devise means to expedite the approval Of
maps of public lands through which canals
or bitches are to be constructed. As it is
now, person desiring to bring bitches
through the public domain may be obliged
to wait several years before permission
can be obtained. The committee sug-
gested that when a member wished ap-
proyal he notify the members of other
Congressional districts and they in turn
notify their Congressman, and the COM
bined force of Congressmen use their best
methods to expedite matters. No definite
action was taken.
