MODEL COW STALL.
Keeps the Animal Clean and the
Bedding In Place.

Bedding In Place.
This so called model stall shows a
single stall with one side entirely re-
moved, says Hoard's Dairyman. 1t
may be as narrow as one pleases, but
the width and length should be pro-
portioned to the size of the occupant.
We do not consider three and one-half
feet any too much room for the cow of
average size. The construction Of this
stall is such that when standing the
rack in front forces the cow back a few
inches, so that all droppings fall we'll
to the rear. The bar across the stall at
the rear should be fastened to the floor
just in front of the cows hind feet
when standing with her head to the

Alfalfa should be cut when not more
than one-tenth of the plants have come
in bloom. Cut at this early stage, the
yield of hay for the season will be
much greater than If the alfalfa is cut
near maturity, and every pound Of hay
secured will be worth more for feed.
At the Kansas experiment station a
strip through field of alfalfa was cut
when one-tenth was in bloom; another
strip was cut after full bloom had
passed. The strip cut early was nearly
ready to cut the second time when
that cut after full bloom was being
harvested the first time. The strip cut
early grew vigorously through the sea-
son and made three cuttings and a
good aftermath. The strip cut after
full bloom gave a low yield the first
cutting and did not grow sufficiently
to yield a good second cutting Early
cuttings seem to invigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first crop
seems to injure the plant more than at
any other time, and we have found it
profitable to cut alfalfa the first time
as soon as One-tenth was in bloom, even
though the weather was bad and we
knew that the crop would spoil in cur
ing. The increased yield from succeed
ing cuttings over that cut late much
more than makes up for the loss of the
first crop.
Essential to Dairy Success.
Let me first note some of the meth
DDS practiced by our most progressive
dairy farmers; then we may more cas-
lily understand the progress made by
the average dairyman, says a New
York correspondent of HOard'S Dairy
man. These are now we'll established
facts: To make dairying the most prof
liable there must be a herd Of we'll
bred cows-cows that have been bred
to make maximum amount of butter
fat from the food consumed. They
must be fed balanced and succulent
ration, and as much as possible of this
must be grown on the farm in the form
Of corn, grasses and the different kinds
Of grains and soiling crops, and in
winter the COWS must be kept in warm,
light and we'll ventilated stables. These
are now recognized as the three main
essentials to success in progressive
dairy farming and are, to restate in a
word, good COWS, good rations and COM
fort for the COWS.
The Farm Separator.
If a farmer has ten COWS and is using
the old fashioned milk pans and his
herd averages three pounds of butter
per 100 pounds of milk, it is safe to as

FIRE ON PIKE STREET.
FURRY Of Excitement Caused by
Blaze in Deserted Building.

An alarm turned in from Box i6,
South Main street and Eighth avenue
at 5 o'clock last evening, caused quite
a furry of excitement in that section
of the city.
The alarm came from the section ad-
jacent to the business portion of the
city. and there was a wild rush of anx-
ious persons to that locality. The
streets were well pcoplcd with work
men going from their duties, ana Main
street, particularly. was the scene OF
much life and activity. The Columbia
and Mitchell companies, spurred by
anxiety TO reach the scene first, added
to the excitement. and the ubiquitous
small boy who delights in these stir
ring scenes, was In his element. Thc
fire. however, was of little consequence.
IT was located in an abandoned dwell
ling on Pike street ~ half block ne
yond the Main street intersection. The
place was occupied up to about Il month
ago by parties who left behind them a
quantity of useless clothing. There was
also cot or couch on the upper floor.
and it was among This rubbish the
blaze commenced. The origin of the
flames can only be conicctured When
the streams were turned on the flames
We're readily subducd, though they ha!
eaten theirway into an adjoining build
ing, which was also unoccupied. The
house being untenanted for number
"f weeks. and the presence of the
flames among the collection of rubbish,
also the circumstance that the house
was not the rendezvous of vagrants
lead to the belief that it was fired by
someone.

CARBONDALE'S NAMESAKES.
Other Places That Bear the Name of
the Pioneer City,

Some hitherto unknown interesting
facts have been brought forward since
the city has commenced preparations
for the centennial celebration.
Among these is the knowledge tina t
there are probably a dozen places in
the country bearing the name of Car
bondale, and the fact that most of
these places have been named after
cur own Carbondale gives an added
interest to this discovery. Natives of
the Pioneer City whose propensities
for travel have taken them to widely
separated sections of the United States
in a spirit of native pride have chris
tened these different localities in honor
OF their birthplace and the result ha 5
been that the name has been fostered
until it found Il place on the postal
guide as a postofiice town. The post
Offices bearing the name of Carbondale
are as follows: Carbondale, Garfield
county, colo; Carbondale, Jackson
county, ILL.,; Carbondale. Warren coun~
ty, Ind; Carbondale, Polk county, la :;
Carbondalc. Usage county, Kansas:
Carbondale, Menominee county. Mich. ;
Carbondale, Athens county. Ohio.
The committee in charge Of the CEN
tennial has decided to inform the Off
cals of these towns of their name
sake's celebration and the secretary
has forwarded the following invita-
ton to each of the towns named:
"Carbondale, Lackawanna county,
