MODEL cow STABLES.
Constructed Along Modern Lines and
Supplied with an Approved Sys-
tenn Of Ventilation.

Mr.. III. E. Cook, of Denmark, n. Y,
is che Ct the conductors of the New
York Institutes. He has given much
study TO barn building and n1ila ton.
He keeps on his farms in northern New
York about 100 COWS. Wishing to build
new harms 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 we'll 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:
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
and warm, but they gave little atten-
ton to the subject of ventilation, and
the result of close confinement of cat

making the outside dimensions of the
crate 14A inches deep, IL inches wide
and 171h inches long. If you let the
side Stats project over the ends of the
end Stats the outside measurement will
be 1919 by II inches, instead of - 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 II by 17H inches works to adj
vantage in a wagon box, while 1919 by
II inches works to a 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 fraction of what
it would cost for each one to place his
order. 1t is better than employing
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. This rack holds just 50 crates.
They are placed two deep and three
side by side, except the end tier of
crates, which are placed with the long
dimension parallel with the long di-
mension of the wagon. Each layer
will then hold 25 bushels of potatoes by
weight without rounding them up
some. So these two extra crates fill
up the lower layer of boxes after the
top layer has been unloaded, thus MAX

WANTED THEM WITH TAILS.
That Was Why p. II. Barnum Had an

jured it's consumer more internally
than externally. THAT" said the vet.
eran editor, relates the Brooklyn Ea.
gle, makes me think of the time when,
as reporter for New York paper,
1 was sent to the museum to write UP
an alleged gorilla which Barnum had
imported. Paul Du Chaillu was good
friend of mine in those days and be.
fore I tackled the assignment got him
to coach me on the subject of goril-
las. At the museum Barnum's agent
showed me an ape of respectable pro.
portions, which he proudly insisted
was the only gorilla that had ever sur
vived captivity. I looked the speci-
men over carefully and, turning to
the agent remarked that somebody
had imposed upon the management of
the Barnum menagerie. That's nc
gorilla I added. The agent got ex-
cited. What dye mean?' he asked.
If it isn't a gorilla what in thunder
is it?'
''To this I replied that I was there
to receive information, not to give it.
Then he sent for Barnum, who was
highly indignant when told of my
skepticism. Eth? What's this? Not
a gorilla?' he exclaimed; then, as
though he wished to impress upon me
a proper sense of my combined igno-
rance and presumption he asked slow
ly and with suitable emphasis:
"'Young man, what do you know
about gorillas?'
"I know all that Paul Du Chaillu
knows I explained, and what he
doesn't know has yet to be learned
This staggered Barnum trif1e, but
he came at me again with a request
that I specify my reason for declaring
that the ape was not a gorilla. Be
cause it has tall I replied, and
gorillas have none 1T is gorilla
none the less insisted Barnum, and
let me tell you in confdence-that
tail is an artificial one. l had it sewed
on because I knew the people would
prefer to have their gorillas with tails
rather than without them!'"
