AN INEXPENSIVE DAIRY BARN.

and no fitting of joints to speak of, the
timbers being PKG and spiked together.
The stills are 2xs, set on edge. Poles
will answer for posts as we'll as the
2x6's. There are no cross timbers to
interfere with the use of the hay fork
1t can be made as high and as long as
needed.
For a dairy of 20 cows make it
60 feet long, "a feet wide and 10 feet
high The lean-to for cows is on the
south side and has floor. The main
part is for hay and is "a feet wide and has
no floor. The posts are 2x6 and placed
feet apart. The rafters are PKG and
feet apart. Braces are Exc and reach
from a post to rafter. being 12 feet
apart. The ties from brace to post and
rafter are pieces of fence board. Such
frame is stiff beyond the belief of
one who never saw one. The side of
the hay barn next to the COWS is not
boarded up. This gives a chance to
throw hay or fodder down in front of
the manger the whole length. AS this
would leave it cold for cattle in severe
weather, partition runs from the back
of the manger to the roof of the COW
barn, provided with drop doors just
above the manger, which are closed in
cold weather. Less lumber Is required
to board this way and hay can be
thrown into the passage at any point
The haymow Ia divided into 70 foot sec
tions which can a II be filed at once, or
one or more at time. This gives a
chance to grade hay, clover in one Sec
ton, mixed hay in another, oats, corn
fodder or millet in another as desired.
A steel track runs the whole length of
the barn under the peak and the horse
fork will dump where desired. Being
but "a feet wide, it is easy work to
move the hay from center to sides
-Four doors lead outside from the COW
stable for convenience in cleaning out

ment to the cows, but at the best they
are not wholly comfortable, and to do
her best dairy COW must at all times
be comfortable. There is another plan
which is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The cows are hitched
with chains that slide up and down
upon a rod, two cows in each wide
stall, or one in a narrow stall as
preferred. There is solid partition
between the stalls and the cribs,
a hinged door admitting the head
of each COW to her crib at feeding
time. W. 80 ration has been eaten
the do - &zsa and buttoned,
which for4.4 esers to stand back
until thei& ;r ~ come to the edge
of the gurEs: 10 lie down also in
that situation. Whep the doors are
closed any manure that has fallen
upon the platform while the cows
have been standing ahead feeding is
scraped into the gutter, and the cows
left until the next feeding.
Where the manure cellar is under
the cattle it will be found most con-
venient to have the manure traps in
the raised walk, as shown, rather than
in the bottom of the gutter, where
they are buried beneath the manure
and filthy to handle. Handy shelves
that are hinged and folded against the
wall when not in use are shown at the
rear of the raised walk. The doors
admitting the cows heads to the cribs
in front will be found exceedingly
convenient when feeding grain, roots
or ensilage. One can then put the
ration in the crib without molestation
from the horns or nose of the animal,
eager to get at its breakfast or dinner.
The door can then be unbuttoned and
allowed to swing in against the side
of the crib, when the COW can come
forward and eat. The CRIB can be
made to fold down against the outside
of the partition if more room is desired
at any time in the feeding floor

FOR THE ORCHARD.
A New and Excellent Device for Agitat-
ing Spraying Compounds.

The great difficulty which we all
have in keeping spraying liquids in

on an automatic agitator, with the re-

barrel about six or eight inches from
its head. This arm is attached to an

bolted TO the head of the barrel at

attached a short arm (d), which is
joined to the long arm that carries the
dashers or agitators (e). This joint is
necessary in order that the dashers
may lie on the bottom of the barrel,
and not be lifted up at every stroke Of

that the liquid that may have settled

(d) is fitted to the pump handle by a

agitator as far as 1t is possible at this
season of the year, and feel that, if
properly adjusted, it will be entirely
satisfactory. No patent has been ap-
piled for on this appliance, though we
think this special form originated with
us, and we wish the fruit growers of
the country to have the benefit of it.

Wood also charges Buttimer with ours

grew out of the A. p. A. business.
Wood, it seems, is an agent for A. P. A.

distributed on the street the other night,
which incensed Buttimer who went to
Woods place and cursed him out. Nagel
has a small jewelry store on Jefferson

was thought to be cooperating with
Wood. Nagel's sign happens to be paint
ed on the stoop of a house rented by

permission of Mr.. Goldman, decided 10
paint out the sign, which he did, using
green paint, in order to make his disap-

Mr.. Clay said that he had called the COM
mttee together for the especial purpose of
considering the state of affairs In the
Tenth district Success in the Tenth, he
said, meant democratic success elsewhere,
and defeat there would be disastrous
throughout the state.
A letter from Mr.. Henry c. Hammond OF
Augusta, president of the Young Mems
Democratic League of Richmond county.
was read. The letter pointed out the
great need OF assistance to the democrats
Of the Tenth and gave a review of the
situation.
After the letter had been read Senator
Pat Walsh and Hon. Bryan Cumming OF
Augusta addressed the committee on the
same line, urging the necessity for prompt
action.
After discussion 1t was decided that the
state committee should assist i'm the fight
in the Tenth, as much as possible, and
committees We're named to visit various
cities and towns to organize campaign
clubs to help Maj Blacks campaign along.
Chairman Clay was authorized to APP
point another committeeman from the

the refusal of Mr.. b. A. Denmark of Sa-
vannah to serve. Mr.. Denmark declined
to accept the appointment on account of
his business duties.

authorized to be filed.
