LATEST GIFT OF CARNEGIE. Employes on skibo Estate Are Pre-. sented with . Years Pay for
 Faithful Service.

Andrew Carnegie has just signalized his retirement from business by pre- senting years pay to all the em- ployes at his Skibo estate. They have the option of taking the money or leaving it in trust and getting six per cent. interest on it. A deputation of employees, headed by Hecor Hardie, presented MT. Carnegie with an ad- dress of thanks for his munificence.
 In reply Mir. Carnegie said: ''I am glad to have an opportunity of ex- pressing the great satisfaction which myself and Mrs. Carnegie take in our estate staff, composed as it is of men who not only know their work and do it, but who are of irreproachable char. acter."
 Mrs. Carnegie said: "We are now furnishing our castle with many ar. ticles of value, but your address is more to us than any of these and will have a suitable place on the walls of our house."
 Dr. Sage Mackay, of New York. who is staying at tthe castle, referring to Mir. Carnegie's home life, says: "Mr. Carnegie is fond of remarking of the oft-quoted saying: Heaven is our home,' that it should be: Home is our heaven,' and Mir. Carnegie's home life is the nearest approach to Heaven I know"

swell, there I was all that Sunday
morning without the price of a dip
in the surf in my clothes without the
price of cigar, for the matter of that.
It was the first time I had been able
to break away from Washington for
a littl two or three-day vacation, too,
and you can take any odds offered that
was whooping mad. -
"A little before one o'clock was
called to. the long-distance telephone
at the hotel desk. The young woman
in the Philadelphia telephone office
began to tell me things. She said my
wife desired me to go to an Atlantic
City physician, whose name she gave
me, and whose office, she said, was at
such-and-such a number on Atlantic
avenue, at two o'clock, where I'd get
money. I'd never heard of that par
ticular medical man in my life, and it
looked pretty queer. I asked the tele-
phone girl in the Philadelphia office
why my wife couldn't talk direct to me,
and the girl replied that there was
some temporary difficulty with tho
wires, but that she had repeated my
wife's message word for word.
II couldn't see through it, of course,
but at a few minutes before two +
left the hotel and started for the Of
flee Of that medical man on Atlantic
avenue, whose name Il had never
heard. He answered my ring himself
and told him of the business.
'He eyed me pretty suspiciously, I
thought, when I had told my little
tale. 1t was plain that he thought
that I was either a confidence man
or that was probably peering around
his office with bit of burgling in
view.
"'This is all very strange, my dear
SIR said the medical man, still cycling
me sharply. Il don't know you. I've
received no message from anybody in
Washington. You can readily see that
it would be quite out Of the question
for me to-er-it is all exceedingly un-
usual, you know. One has to be very
careful at these summer resorts. Per-
haps I shall receive a message little
later on looking at his watch, which
showed the hour to be about half-past
two, but until then, why-um-it is
SO unusual that
sob, there isn't doubt in life that
that man of medicine had it all fig
ured out that I was porch-climber
or something, all right. Fact is, I felt
like one. I'll bet I looked as hang

MODEL COW STABLES.
Supplied with an Approved Sys-
tenn OF Ventilation.

Mr.. Fl. E. Cook, of Denmark, N. Y,
is one of the conductors of the New
York Institutes. He has given much
study to barn building and ventilation.
He keeps on his farms in northern New
York about 100 COWS. Wishing to build
new barns on the most up to date and
improved principles, he investigated
all the best plans for barns and sys-
tenn of ventilation, and then built
barn which he finds satisfactory in
every way, and is thus well equipped
to discuss the subject, and the follow
ing are some of the points he makes
in his address on Barn Building and
Barn Ventilation" at the Institutes:
n few years ago, before farmers be-
gan to build warm stables, when the
most of the stables were so open that
there was always plenty of pure air
for the cattle, we heard but little
about tuberculosis. Farmers began
to build stables that were very tight
AMI warm, but they gave little atten-
ton to the subject of ventilation, and

making the outside dimensions of the
crate 14A inches deep, IL inches wide
and 17h inches long. If you let the
side Stats project over the ends of the
end Stats the outside measurement will
be 12A, by II inches, instead of 10 by
17h inches. One might think that one
half inch would not make any differ
ence, but it does, in just this way: A
crate 10 by 17H inches works to ad-
vantage in wagon box, while 1917 by
II inches works to disadvantage.
Three or four neighbors can decide on
the number of crates they want, and
then give their order to some local
planning mill and get the material cut
ready for mailing at a fraction of what
it would cost for each one to place his
order. It is better than employing a
carpenter, as the pieces must be ex-
actly the same length-a difficult thing
to accomplish when the cutting is
done by hand.
The wagon illustrated is loaded with
boxes of potatoes ready for market.
You will notice that have not only
crates for potatoes, but rack for the

Using Skim Milk Probably.

Skim milk properly fed is good
feed for cows, calves, pigs and chick
ems. Which will pay the best price
for it depends always upon whole
lot of things What might pay one
man the best would not another.
Skim milk is a good protein food,
having a nutritive ratio of about one
to two. Fed to good pigs with wheat
middlings and corn meal will make
them grow. It will also make a
calf grow. If one man had good pigs
and poor scrub-bred calves he would
get more value in feeding to pigs.
With good calves and scrubby pigs
the reverse would be true. A cow on
good pasture would show poor re-
turns for the milk, on poor pasture
she would show good returns. Thus
you have it. Take your choice and
go ahead.-National Stockman.

FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valuable Sugg estions Condensed
from Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station.

Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last sum-
mer from the attacks of borers Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost.
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk is
dead and black in irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark is
the borer's burrow filled with worm
dust. If a. large spot of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon filled with a mushroom
growth which develops the fruiting
portion on the outside of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but a tree that is
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot.
The best thing to do is to keep the tree
free from borers and other injuries.
The land should be kept free from
grass and weeds and well cultivated.
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings that
can be applied to prevent borers. A
good wash, however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply and
will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects.
A one-pound can of concentrated I've
dissolved in two or three gallons of
water makes a very good tree wash.
Another good wash can be made of
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pint
carbolic acid, and two gallons soft
soap. These washes can easily be ap-
piled with an old whitewash brush or a
swab made of old rags tied on the end
of a stick. The wash should be ap-
piled two or three times to the trunk
and large limbs during the spring and
early summer.

CANT WIRE MONEY ON SUNDAY
that fimsy excuse for presenting N.Y.
self at his Office, as if I'd just been ar
rested for breaking some little girls
arm out of pure devilment.
II backed out of his office with tot
tering knees and more internal rage
over my idiotic position than had ex-
perienced in a long time, and he closed
the door on me with plenty of haughti-
ness. I was about half block from
his Office and saying things under my
breath not at all fit for the Sabbath,
when colored man came running aft
er me to tell me that the doctor wanted
me to return to his office. returned
all right and found the medical man
at the telephone, with all kinds of
grins on his face. Well, to cut it short,
I'd no sooner left his office than his
telephone bell rang and he was called
up by my family physician in Washing
ton. The two doctors were old pals
and they exchanged funny things over
the wire. My wife had gone to our
Washington doctor, who lives near us,
and asked him what to do, and he had
told her that he'd phone an old friend
in Atlantic City to hand me the money.
Then my wife had telephoned me to
that effect, as the girl at the Phila-
delphia telephone Office had said. The
doctor at Washington had been a
little late in telephoning, which caused
me the embarrassing five minutes
with the doctor in Atlantic City. The
latter counted me out the so with great t
cordially when he got through talk
ing with his old friend, our Washing-
ton physician, and he even pressed mo
to stay to dinner with his family. But
I wasn't in condition of mind to stay
to dinner with anybody, and so just
thanked him, went back to the hotel
and packed my traps, paid my bill and
hiked back to Washington on the first
train.
'From now on I'm going to whoop
'er up for government ownership of
telegraph lines and Sunday money!

tie in poorly ventilated stables has
been cattle diseases, and no doubt is
one of the causes of tuberculosis,
which has destroyed many herds in
this state. Much of the poor milk
which goes to the creameries is caused
by the conditions in the stable.
The best material with which to build
a stable is pine lumber. I would not
build a stone stable. They are often
damp. I would use matched lumber
for the walls of the stable, putting it
on both sides of the studding so as to
make dead-air space. I would build
the stable only nine feet high, and so
keep the warm air down where the
COWS are; 500 cubic feet of space is
sufficient for each animal if the stable
is we'll ventilated.
You can build cement floor as
cheap as you can build a plank floor,
and it is much more durable. You
can have plank for the cattle to lie
on if you wish. For the foundation
of the cement floor nothing is better
than cobbles, or small stones, grout-
ed. For the top layer use Portland
cement and sand in proportions of
two to one. Be sure the sand is clean
and sharp. Make the top layer about
two inches thick, and do not make it
too smooth.
The King system of ventilation is
now acknowledged to be the best, and
is explained by the cut
The outlake f1ues are &C c" with an
opening at ''d'' provided with door
or some means of opening and clos
ing. The fues have their opening
about IS inches from the floor, pro-
vided with damper, one on each
side, passing up through the ceiling
and out at the highest point of the
barn. They can be built of wood or
galvanized iron. Wood is preferable
on account of being a nonconductor
of heat.
They must be tight and thoroughly
insulated in order to maintain tenn
perature of the air high enough to
prevent condensation. One flue, one
foot by two feet inside measure, will
be necessary for every 10 to ~ cows.
The intake flue "E F." as shown with
an opening at CA" with the outlet
at 3D." need not be over six or seven
inches in diameter, and is also pro-
vided with hampers. No definite rule
can be given for the number, as much
will depend upon openings near the
doors of the barns.
For the best results the stable
should be ceiled with matched lumber
as closely as living room, and then
provide all fresh air through these
intake fues. Usually, under these
conditions, two of these small intakes
should be provided for each large
outtake flue.-Ohio Farmer.

Sensible Method Of Dairyine.

At recent farmers institute at
Knapp, Wis, one of the points
brought out was that the most profit
able method of dairying in Wisconsin
is for farmers to procure small sep.
arators, separate their cream by
tread-mill power at home, preserve
the cream from day to day in re-
frigerators, and deliver it t. the
factory once or twice a week. 4
factory for this work can be con-
structed very cheaply without any
separating machinery, and the farm
.er not only saves the expense of de-
livering the milk daily, but has the
warm skim milk to feed.

Strictly Up-to-Date Manner.

Every farmer should have a few
bushel crates. The illustration shows
one of the crates ready for use. It is
slat crate throughout. The corner
pieces are American elm 2A inch cor
ner sawed, thus one piece after it is
sawed will make two pieces to nail
Stats on. The Stats are Norway pine
lath, one lath cutting into three
lengths without waste. The two pieces
the bottom Stats are nailed to are not
lath, but elm fence pickets one-half
inch thick. These hold nails better
than Norway pine and are stronger
than common lath. The corner posts
are II inches long, the end Stats 10
inches and the side Stats II inches long.
