PERFECT COW STALL.

ture of dairy work many years of study
and practical demonstration in our
own barn. After using many devices
and reconstructing them TO do away
with imperfections, our plan for 1.-THE
perfect COW stall" resolved itself into
the plan illustrated l have seen large
number of stalls, but none that has so
many good points as this one. Thou
sands OF them are in use all over the
country, and wherever put in after the
plan herein described, have proven to
be more than satisfactory. The floor
may be made of wood or cement. Mine
IS laid with oak with joints broken as
laid, allowing a drop Of two inches in
the ga feet. On the platform two
three by three scantling are laid run
ming the full length of the stable. Upon
this board or floor IS inches wide is
put down with flange board facing cow
seven inches wide. A two by four post
five feet high is toe-nailed in one corner
of the manger, TO which both partition
boards and the fence in front of the
cow are nailed. The partition is four
feet high and 31s wide from outer edge
OF the two posts, but IL is only one foot
high in the hangers past the five feet
post, so that any large roughage can
be distributed. The opening for both
feed and roughage is IS inches. The
grain, ensilage or any cut feed escapes
readily into the 1sinch manger, but
hay cannot, but rests against the fence
and Is eaten throuph n
Many find the annex OF feed bin In
front an easy means OF distributing
feed to cows. The ditch is made wa
terproof and 16 inches wide, nine inches
deep next 10 platform andsev inches
by walk. The latter may be made any
width or depth TO suit the builder. The
distance from the ditch TO the fence
facing cow depends upon the size of the
COW to occupy. The 6H feet is the right
length for 1,000-pound COW, with less
or more accordingly. The fencing can
be placed as far toward the COW as her
size demands, so that she may be fenced
back 10 her ditch, insuring perfect
cleanliness and at the same time have
perfect and absolute freedom with her
head, not having TO move backward
or forward to lie down or rise. Ar
rangements for watering with pans
bolted on sides OF partitions can be
readily attached.--G. Il. Scott 10 Ohio

shade for the Dairy Cows.

At convention of dairymen some
years ago a dairyman said that IL was
his practice not to have any shade In
his pasture, as he did not want his
COWS to lose time in feed gathering.
He claimed that on hot days COW
would go hungry in the shade rather
than go out into the hot sun and feed.
lie was fiercely opposed by many 9TH
er danrymen, but there were some that
sided with him. II was rather a sur
prise that any should take a position
OF that kind. IL seems hardly short of
barbarous to place cows in pasture
where there Is no escape from the fierce
heat OF n midsummer sun.

Shade is almost as important in
summer as shelter from cold in win

feed and clean water while in pas

in short time and then lie down
in the shade, chew her cud, enjoy her
self, and make milk.
The COW must not have TO travel a
long distance for water. If she does,
she will 60 without IL until she gets

THE FoREHGN-RoRN VOTE.

The Skandinaven, a newspaper whose
clientage is indicated by its name, bears
timely testimony to the constancy and
conservatism Of the foreign-born voters,
and incidentally touches upon what it
considers an undesirable chara cteristic
of the native American in politics. It's
idea is illustrated in the following para
graph:
1.-THE truth is the foreigner looks upon
MS natlVe-born felloW-citiZen as a rather
unsteady voter, though he may not know
how to account for his apparent vacilIa-
ton. The foreigner is impressed with
the high intelligence of the average
American, but no less impressed with
what to him appears as a lack of Amer
lean common sense at the polls. He ad-
mires the rugged conserva tism of the
American on all questions relating to the
fundamental law of the land. but does not
know how to reconcile this conservatism
with his fltful radicalism in matters of
everyday politics. He cannot understand
why people who Sternly set themselves
against almost any change in the organic
law always are ready for "a change Of
all other laws"
The Skandinaven speaks truly of the
Scandinavian characteristic as witnessed
in Minnesota. The conservatism of the
foreign-born voters led them to hold fast
to Republican rule until their confidence
was abused and their patience exhaust
ed. Then they elected Gov Lind, who
has given the state the best administra-
ton in its history. The same patience
and conservatism which gave Republl-
can rule a long and tedious trial. and
which was so poorly repaid by that par
ty, will lead the Scandinavian voters 10
hold fast to that which is good and gives
every promise of remaining.
The Indictment of the native-born vot-
ers may or may not be true as applied
| In a general way, but it Is certain that
| no whim of partisan politics will infiu,
ence the Scandinavians to change from
| Lind to Van SAINT from the tried and
faithful to one whose possibilities are
| best indicated by the administra ton
which Lind was elected to displace. A
change back to the old regime would not
furnish the state the equal of the Lind
administration, much less an improve
ment over it, and this plain fact ought
to appeal even to the inconstant native
born vote. mentioned by the Scandinavian,
if it exists. 1t certainly appeals to the
Seandinavians, for there Is ample evil
dence IN all directions that they will
vote to continue the present highly salts
