GROUND PLAN OF CAT pounded into it
TIE BAEN. every year or
two. Colonel Harris barn cost 81, 100.
1t will be seen from the ground plan, as
shown above, that there is only one pas
sageway-that in the middle Colonel
Harris says that this is the most con-
venient and economical way. His cattle
head outward, or toward the wall, in
stead of inward to the center. There is
a driveway in the center through the
whole length and another crossways.
The cows tails are toward the center
driveway Each animal enters through
the broad driveway and goes directly to
her own stall. A hand cart passes from
stall to stall, conveying the feed to each
before the cattle are let in. The middle
space or driveway is at least 10 feet
wide. Colonel Harris says he has seen
time and ain 70 COWS walk into such
a stable and be tied up and munching
food in less than 20 minutes, all the
work of tying being done by two men.
There was no confusion or noise about
the operation.
The material used in the construc-
ton of this barn was as follows: Thirty
two telegraph poles 20 feet long, 80
telegraph poles 25 feet long, 5000 feet
boards 16 feet long, 30, 900 shingles;
400 battens, by = inches, 16 feet long,
81 sash, each with lights 10 by IL;
$500 feet Of flooring; 200 joists, 2 by
8 inches, 16 feet long; 1850 feet of
rough boards; $40 pieces 2 by inches,
16 feet long; /, 400 feet Of masonry in
underpinnirg.
Wagons 60 through the middle drive
way and take up the manure, hauling
it direct to the fields, so that there is
no unsightly manure heap sending out
an unearthiy stencil and rotting away
the timbers of the barn. The cattle
come in frou three different lots or
fields at cnce to avoid confusion. Colo
mel Harris holds that there should be
no hinges on barn doors Only rollers
of the best quality should be used. FL
nally he does not believe in the old fash
toned huge dark barn, in which all the
animals on the farm are housed. 'Let
us have rather two or more smaller
buildings, all above ground, on light
foundations, with light timbers, little
framing, the balloon style of construc-
ton permitting the use of much ordi-
nary labor. He would have doors on
every side and plenty Of windows. The
buildings should be far enough apart
to prevent the danger of fire communi-
eating from one to another.

Dairy and Creamery.

1t sometimes happens that a COW
makes less butter than one whose milk
tests per cent. The 5 per cent cow
milk may be so small in quantity that
it does not pay to feed her.
One who keeps milk cows needs to
study each particular COW. Test each
ones milk separately as to both guam
tity and quality and get rid of those
that are not satisfactory. 1t is only by
observing such small items that one can
make dairying pay at present.
Everybody who keeps even three or
four cows needs to have the Babcock
test and learn to use it intelligently
Any boy or girl of ordinary powers and
education can learn to test milk on the
Babcock plan.
A dairy writer insists that the first
milk drawn from a COW and the last or
the ''strippings' are of the same color
Guess that dairy writer never MIXED 4
cow, or he would not make that mistak
en- statement. The strippings are as
much richer than the first milk in their
color as they are in their quality.
The huge Canadian cheddar cheese at
the Worlds fair weighed ten tons. 1t
was made from one week milk of more
than %, 600 cows. This great cheddar
was sent to London after the fair and
fell into the hands of dealer in Ken
sington. He has part of it still, and it
is still of good flavor and eatable, though
sharp to the tongue. This speaks well
for Canadian cheese.

Miss Jennie Howe, lovely young
lady of this village, died suddenly last
Thursday evening, aged % years, 8
months. On Sunday she went to
church although she did not feel as well
as usual, Tuesday morning they called

her dangerously i'll until she was dying
Some reports say she had congestion of

Saddle Mare Emily at St. Louis.

At the conclusion of the adjudication
of the sweepstakes competition General
John B. Castleman, Louisville, was re-
quested by ex Governor Francisand other
directors of the st. Louis Fair association
to exhibit the Columbian champion mare
Emily under saddle in the arena She
had been prepared for a show in the
harness rings this fall and has had very
little work under saddle, but many
times during the week General Castle
man was compelled to mount her and
give private exhibitions for the benefit
Of horsemen who had never seen her,
and also for those who avail themselves
of every opportunity to witness the
magnificent picture made by this beau
tifuI mare with her owner up She will
now be permanently retired from the
show ring, as General Castleman con-
siders her graduated out, and there
fore the request for final exhibition
was not to be denied.
This magnificent mare never conduct
ed herself in more seemly manner than
when bidding farewell to the arena. 1t
lis a great pity to lose her from the show
ring. She was at once the center of at
traction and was examined with the
greatest interest and satisfaction by the
large company of horsemen present.

Frank Thompson is a colored young

Yesterday while the regular officers were
on parade.
Thompson was put on the "Pinkston
beat" from Fourth street to the river.
On Crane street is a cider stand ope-
rated by Bill Ward. Near by is another
stand run by John Richardson. Both of
the cider men gave Thompson a drink.
The new policeman smacked his lips and
thought it was pretty good but he be-
lieved there was whisky in it 1t didn't
taste like the kind of cider he was used
to, and it probably wasn't. There was a
strength and volume to it that seemed
to rush to the head and grasp
the vitals like a vice. Thompson
walked off a short distance and con-
cluded that the cider was intoxicating
liquor He wasn't so dishonest as re-
cent witness in liquor case and he
knew the So called cider made him
drunk. So he arrested both Ward and
Richardson, making them lock up their
stands and go with him to the city prison.

it he ordered the men released and ex-
planned to the green officer that he had
acted hastily and that 'cider," although
it contained per cent alcohol, was de-
clared not intoxicating bV the courts.

We are not all gifted with wealth.
Every one is not gifted with talent
Some have natural gifts as great ora
tors, great preachers, etc, and it is
natural for them to lecture and to
preach. Who would take their talents
away from them? No one. It is theirs.
How often have we heard some good
old preacher remark that he had worked
hard, that he understood the Scriptures
from Genesis to Revelations, and that
after all, all that he could get out of his
pulpit was bare living. Another preach
ed of the same denomination, who hnew
no moro about the Bible than the first,
drew a very large salary. The large
salary was paid because he had natural
talent for preaching.
It is talent that people are paying for.
But every one can not pay large sums for
talent Prof Samuels has proven that
he possesses talent in his line. No one
in this part of the country has been able
to accomplish so much. But it must be
understood that all those that are willing
to place themselves under his care
should only make their wishes known tn
him and he will see that thew receive
treatment for whatever they can afford
to pay. The poor are his greatest friends
and the rich are his companions, There
fore don't keep away because Won are
poor. It is no shame to be poor. but wa
know it is very inconvenient.
Come to the Hotel Throop at anv time
between a. N. and D. m. and improva
this golden opportunity. Life is too
short TO be suffering when you can be
cured. All nervous troubles treated
through the eyes.
