COW stalls have a 6-inch drop, the
length of stalls varying to correspond
to the length of the cattle. They are
double, with partition in the man
ger, SO that each animal has his own
food. This is an important point
where animals of different ages are
stabbed together. In all well-regu-
lated stables good box stall, access
ible from both COW and horse barn, is
desirable. This feature will be found
in the accompanying plan.-D. B. Ell

NEW JERSEYS ROADS.
Many Miles Were Macadamized Under
the Township Bonding Act.

Many Miles Were MacadamiZed Under
the Township Bonding Act.
Before state or county aid was ex-
tended for the construction of stone
roads in New Jersey the farmers of
Chester, Burlington county, got the
notion they would bankrupt them
selves if they put down macadam roads.
Two citizens knew differently and Of
fered to build the roads for So, 400 per
mile. Farmers believed stone roads
would cost $4,000 or $1,000 per mile.
Finally the town was bonded for $4O,-
600 for 10 miles of roads. To carry
the election in favor of bonding, out
lying roads were included, making
1115 miles. The two citizens brought
the stone by rail many miles, carted it
overland in wagons, took as salary
81, 900 for the four months job, returned
1925 to the town treasury and built
the 1115 miles of road. The cost was
So, AGO per mile, and all the stone hauled
long distances, the biggest item of
cost. These roads were built 3
years ago and have not been repaired
since except to be rolled each spring
by ton horse roller. The bonds
are paid at the rate of 81, 900 per year
and the burden of taxation is insignifi-
cant. Nearly all the farmers use mar
row tire wagons, although engineers
say they should use wide tires. A load
or tons, including weight of wagon,
is common. The builder recommended
an expenditure of $50 per year on each
mile, but to-day with narrow tires and
heavy loads there is no perceptible
evidence of wear.-Bulletin 9, Office of

One with a Basement Is Most Comfort
able for Stock.
There is some controversy concern
ing the comparative value of bank or
basement barn, and one built on level
ground. Having used both candidly
believe that farmers who contemplate
building new or remodeling an old
barn will not be sorry if they choose
one with basement. It is economical,
warm, and if well ventilated will be
most comfortable for stock. Do not
give the fodder directly from the floor
above, but have spacious alleys, wide
enough to hold feed for one or two
days. Have boxes in the basement for
grain, also a couple of good cats for
catching rats and mice.
The dimensions of barn are not
essential in a plan. Build according
to your needs. Divide the stall room

quite hardy, and will thrive on any

fruit when the husk has been removed
is handsome yellow cherry of about
three-fourths of an inch in diameter.
It has something of a strawberry fla

''Roads are the connecting links that

Roads are roads, and the majority of

be the connecting links, put if all the
links of life were of like character
the connection wouldn't amount to
much, and would be mud at that.
Roads are like communities, and are

and we cannot prevent it, because

A TAX MIDDLE.

Tax payers will note the notice Of
the treasurer as to delinquency and
penalty on real estate taxes. We be.
lieyc our last legislature has kept up
the unbroken record of tinkerInQ
with the date Of penalty, interest and
sale on delinquent taxes. It is now a
question us to the date and amount
OF penalty for the taxes of 1894, ow.
Ing to the confusion arising as to date
when codes take effect and the word.
Ing of the law. Under the old Law, one
per cent accrued on real estate June
LIST. So that much is now due. Now
the code comes In and says, on July
LIST three per cent shall be added to
the tax; thence comes the interesting
question, does the new law do away
with the one per cent added June 1st9
IL says, add three per cent to th,
tax"
Then again we have special law
for this year exempting personal tax
from penalty until October LIST, which
has been In force by emergency clause
since Its passage and approval. Again
comes the code. popularity supposed to
do away with all other law and be in
force July LIST. Does the code hold
good over the special statute and
should three per cent be added to the
personal taxes July 1ste
Again, the code declares all taxes
delinquent juno LIST. "Thirty DAYS
