 A question of etiquette: :"Who has the right of way into or out of a public place-the person who opens the door for himself, or from one to a dozen or more people who may be headed toward the door from the opposite side?"

 MT. Forest Smith has just completed new barns and stables, which for com fort and convenience go ahead of any thing in the shape of barns anywhere around. s. F. Linsley was the builder. The arrangements for feeding and watering are thought to be about per feet. One barn 4OxS0 feet, one 4Ox60 and one 20x40, with g wing over one 14x30 The first story of the wing is a feed room The stables are under all the barns, but not underground. There is room for seventy cows and thirteen hores. The feeding arrangement is complete and convenient, there being 200 feet of the "Coburn Trolley Track" with a. car large enough to hold feed for one feeding running along the whole length of the managers and in front of them, so that a man can feed the cows nearly as fast as he can walk, the grain being mixed in the feed room and thrown into a hopper and drawn out through a. shute into the car below. The water comes from a large spring some half mile distant, having a fall of some sixty feet and running into the stables. The state board of health or examiners dropped down on MT. Smith one morning last week like an eagle on its prey, with all their in- struments, and with coats off com menced work in earnest, spending all day in examining the health of the cows, the result being a clean bill of health by the president of the board for all the cows examined. The cer- tificate can be seen by anyone who de- sires by calling upon MT. Smith. In all, MT. Smith has 103 cows, being most ly Holsteins and Jerseys.
