COMFORTABLE STALLS.
4 System by Which Each Cow II Pro-
tected from Possible Injury
When Lying Down.

There is excellence in the plan of
tying cows over the stanchion plan, as
shown herewith. The cow has 3A feet
In width of stall, and perfect liberty
and comfort of position. Because of
the bar across the stall floor, shown
just forward of the hind feet of the
standing COW, the animal has always a
dry, clean bed to lie in, thus keeping
her as clean from manure in winter
as though she was in June pasture.
BY this system each COW is protected
while lying down from having her
teats and udder stepped on by her
standing neighbor. This is one of the
most productive sources of injury that
is known, and of itself should condemn
the rigid stanchion.
A closely-boarded partition about
four feet high forms the front of the
stall. Each cow has space 31I feet in
width. The floor is made tight, and
there is no drop in rear of the cows, ex-
cept the thickness of one plank, which
is the double floor of the stall. The
style of feeding rack secures two pur-
poses. It contains hay or roughage,
and Stats are placed wide enough so
the COW can get her head between
them. Their slant forces the cow when
erect to stand with her hind feet in
rear of the cross-bar across the stall
floor. In making the feed rack, nail
a piece of two by eight-inch scantling
edgewise against the board partition.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The cellar in which butter and milk
Is kept must be dry and well ven
tilated.
If the average herd of COWS should
be tested, one, two, three or more
would be found Improbable.
If you are making the dairy promi,
nent on the farm, you should have ice
q milk house and separator.
We hope the silo is receiving due
attention from those who intend to
make the cows profitable. Ensilage is
good and cheap.
Simply because a COW is a scrub
we say once more, is no reason to dis
card her. She may be a fine cow
But she cannot be depended upon to
reproduce herself.
If you have clay, solid soil, dig a
hole and put the green corn into it
whole. 1t is slovenly way to make
ensilage, but better than nothing. The
ensilage must be covered.
Nothing is more important than to
accustom the heifer to being handled
Handle her all over. Accustom her
to the touch of the hand. 1t will great
ly help breaking her to milking.
Keep good cows or none. The poor
cow eats feed withou: giving the re-
turns that good cow would. You
throw away both labor and feed with
such a cow.-Western Plowman.

A COMFORTABLE COW STABLE.

This makes the bottom of the rack and
should be placed 30 inches from the
floor. Place the top scantling about
two feet from the partition. This
makes the rack eight inches in width
at bottom and two feet at top. In
center of bottom scantling fasten a
ring screw to tie the halter to. Fasten
the COW with a common web halter,
she wearing the headpiece all the
time. The halter end of the rope has
safety snap to fasten into the ring
of the halter and under the throat.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the cow usually lies on. The box
Is for grain and ensilage andis reached
BY an opening in the partition. Place
The box slanting and the feed will cas-
lily work down TO the lower end next
the COW. In placing the bar across
the stall bring the cows head square
y up against the feeding rack; then
Just forward of her hind feet nail down
two by three scantling. Fill the
space forward of the bar with bedding,
which, being without waste, will last
till nearly worn out.-EX-Gov. w. D.
Hoard, in Farm and Home.

UNHAPPY PUERTO RICO.
The Spaniards Who Inhabit the
Islands Have n Varied List
of MisfOrtunes.

Those early settlers may well have
deserved their fate; still, one may hard
ly withhold sympathy from them in
their many and varied misfortunes. In
1915 they had visitation of ants which
devoured everything before them; and
then soon after the insects had been
driven away or destroyed, an epidemic
of the smallpox decimated their ranks,
swiftly followed by another disease,
more insidious, but scarcely less ia
tai in its effects. In 1929 French pirates
burned the town of San German, on the
south coast; the fierce Caribs ravaged
the eastern provinces, carrying off some
of their prominent men to be sacrificed
at cannibal repasts; and 70 years later,
in 1895, "that great pirate, Don Francis
co Drake" appeared off San Juan,
which city he sacked, the English
claim; but to be gloriously repulsed,
the Spaniards say. The Notifications
of San Juan then mounted 70 pieces of
artillery. with "a in the great Castle del
Moro alone. There is no doubt that a
Dutch attack was repealed in 1918, and
another English attempt defeated in
1878; but in the latter instance the
Peurto Ricans were aided by hurri-
cane, which destroyed many of the
ships of war. The islanders were wont
to point many moral with this sig
nal instance of Divine interposition,
until a fleet of their own was similar
ly destroyed, in 1909, when it seemed
10 OF 70 c11oh
an event to natural causes.
During the greater part of the seven
teenth century the flibusteros and
bucaneros, composed of combined
Dutch, French and English renegade
adventures, continually harried the
coast and attacked the supply galleons
coming from Spain. At first intrenched
in the island of st. kits, they were
driven out by fleet under Don Federi-
co Toledo. fitted out in Peurto Rico,
when they fiocl>ed to the island of Tor
tuga, north of the coast of Hayti,
whence they preyed upon Spanish COM
merce at their convenience.
The MORO of San Juan, standing well
out at sea, was a chip on the Spanish
shoulder, at which passing ships could
not resist taking shot or two. The last
great attack upon San Juan, previous
to the American bombardment of this
year, was in 1907, by the English, under
Abercrombie, who were compelled to
retire after three days siege.
During the century that has elapsed
since that event the inha bitants of this
rock ribbed forress town have boosted
the impregnability of their fortifica-
tons, until so rudely disturbed by the
guns of modern battleships.-Fred A.

THE CHEESE BUSINESS.
A Good Thing for Some, But Not for
the Man Who Supplies the
Factory with MIX.

There are two points about the
cheese business that are worthy of
note. Dairying always follows after
long series of years of grain crop
ping, which sooner or later impover-
ishes the soil and brings to want the
man who INDUCES in the luxury of
riding a gang plow and seeder in the
spring and binder at harvest, says
Farm, Stock and Home, and has no
time to milk cows. He then turns
to the dairy to recoup his resources.
If he takes his milk to the cheese fac
tory it is a question whether he will
realize in dollars and cents as much
as he would if he took his milk to a
creamery. But one thing is certain,
for every ton of cheese he furnishes
the milk for he removes $40 of fertility
from his soil. If he takes his milk to
a creamery he will have the skim
milk to feed to calves and pigs, and
thus remove only so cents worth of fer
tility for every ton of butter. Then
when his cheese is ready for market.

Buttern,ilk aS n Drink.

One of the most refreshing drinks
for hot weather is cool buttermilk,
drawn just after the cream has been
churned. 1t is a nutritious drink, and
the slight acidity which it has, if made
from ripened, that is, sour cream,
makes it easier to digest than fresh
new milk. In some cities buttermilk
is kept for sale at restaurants, and
there are enough city men who were
brought up in the country to create
a good demand for buttermilk, even
though it be not fresh from the churn.
In cool place buttermilk may be
kept for four or Eve days.

Literature of Horticulture,

It will be necessary to use very nice
Judgment in applying the principles
which govern tree growth and fruit
production; but in these days of abun-
dant horticultural literature and ex-
cellent books Oil orchard economy, no
one ought to be at loss to know what
to do for the best under his own con-
ditions. No two cases are exactly
alike. Advice for your neighbor would
be wholly inapplicable under your
conditions. Every man must work out
his own salvation in temporal as.well
as in spiritual things, and the plum

eral dressing of brains to his land

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
Some Convincing Testimony Which
Comes to Us All the Way
from Australia.

Testimony ON the value of wide tires
A correspondent of /: paper in Sydney,
Australia, describes a road in which
heavily-laden wagons with narrow
tires sank "half-spoke deep, and in
places to their wheel hubs" and yet a
load of five tons, carried on six-inch
tires, sank but two to four inches in
the worst places. In dry weather he
says the roads are cut up by narrow
tires until the dust is foot deep, and
then the rain will not make the dust
set hard again.
n good material for roads is gravel,
"but no gravel roads will carry loads
of ten or twelve tons on three-inch and
four-inch tires. An experienced team
ster will not speak of the tonnage his
team can draw. He will say: 4 think
the road will carry five TONS or more,
as the case might be. I have heard
road superintendent say that enor-
nous sums of money could be saved an
nually it broad tires were used. The
only objection I have heard raised
against wide tires is that they do not
fit into the ruts cut by the narrow
ones, which makes the draught heavier
upon the team. That is partly true;
but the ruts would not be cut if all
the wagons had wide tires. Portable
engines varying from six to eight
horsepower, and weighing five tons
and over, are drawn by lighter teams
than wagons which, with their loads,
would not weigh more. This is owing
to the broad tires always used on en-
gines. The ash pans on engines are sell
dom more than about ten inches from
the ground; but owing to the wide
tires these engines seldom bog deep
enough to allow the pans to touch the
ground"

THE D1GN1F1ED WOMAN.
Gus Woman, But She Was
Provoked.

She is dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
nitied woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city. She
went there for rest and quiet. Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dignifed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the dignifed
woman, and she said:
II beg your pardon, madam, but would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
'What?" exclaimed the dignifed woman
"Well, explained the curious woman, my
friend in the. next room and have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and springy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the digni6ed woman.
The dignifed woman replied:
i have not been operated upon yet"
"On!' said the curious woman, sympa-
theticay.
mo, l am not familiar with operations"
said the dignifed woman.
The curious woman interrupted "They
are very successful here Don't be wor-
RED"
II am wondering about an operation ON
the BRAIN said the dignifed woman, in
very dignifed and distant manner. 81 won
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs"
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dudgeon.
The dignifed woman was severe it is true,
but she was provoked to it.-St Louis Re-
