NEW IN BARN CONSTRUCTION.
Building Put Up at Edge Of Slope Of
Land.

Land.
The illustration shows a cross sec
ton of a barn through the manure
boxes, of which there are four Tbs
barn is built at the edge Of slope
of land, the feed room end resting OF
the ground, while the remainder OF
the building extends over the valley
SO that the floor upon which the COWS
stand is some fourteen feet above
the ground. This makes 1T possible to
have the manure boxes beneath the
stable. These are each about eight
feet deep and seven feet square, and
as the cows require no bedding each
manure box will hold the droppings
of fifty COWS for two or more days.
The bottoms of the manure boxes are
six feet above the ground, so that a
wagon or sleigh can be driven beneath
them to receive the manure which
may be hauled away to the fields
daily, if desired. In this way the
manure does not accumulate about
the barns to become a nuisance.

producing a refined iron or steel
Molten IRON is caused to flow through
a fine channel surrounded by an an

turpere, driving the metal forward in
a fine spray This spray is collected
and allowed to flow together again
in a receiving chamber, from which the
molten steel can be tapped.

Essence of Orange Leaves.

A notable industry in Paraguay IL
the preparation of essence of orange
leaves. Some one hundred and fifty
years ago the Jesuit priests, who then
ruled that country, planted the orange
forests. This essence is largely i'm
ported into France and the United
States for use in soap and perfumery
making. 1t is also used in Paraguay
as a healing ointment and a hair
tonic.

While a floor of cement may cost
slightly more than one of plank, the
advantages Afforded by the former by
far exceed the difference in the initial
cost. Besides being many times mor.,
durable the cement is altogether the
more sanitary, as it can be kept
cleaner on the surface and liquid
manure cannot leak through it to be
lost, and also to create unhealthy
odors- A cement stable floor, proper
Il laid, in the estimation of many
who have given them an extended
trial, is worth at least half a dozen
floors OF plank.

The cost of hauling stone, sand anG
gravel and brick being equal and the
freight charges on cement are not toe
high, concrete would be the cheapest
material to use. Where cement car
be gotten direct from the mills, CON
crete walls may be built for clever
cents per cubic foot, or even less in
some cases. The cost of building a
concrete wall may be arrived at by
calculating from the following basis:
One barrel of Portland cement will
build 35 cubic feet of wall, if stones
are used as filters, making the con
crete one part cement to seven parts
of gravel; if natural rock cement is
used, one barrel will build 81 cubic
feet, making the concrete one part
of cement to five parts of gravel. One
man will build from 35 to SO cubic
feet of wall in a day, according to its
thickness and height. 1 have had men
each of whom could build So cubic feet
of cellar wall, one foot thick, in one
day; but about 40 cubic feet is con-
sidered a fair days work.-N. B. H.

In this instance it is doubtful if the
pump situated at the barn will raise
the water from the we'll at the house.
The height is twenty-six feet and the
horizontal distance one hundred and
forty-fve feet. These circumstances
would tax to the utmost capacity the
power of air to raise water 1 think
it would be a safe venture, however,
if the cylinder of the pump placed
about four feet into the ground and
there connected with the horizontal
pipe to the well at the house. In ad.
dition the pipe should be large, not
less than two inches, and all the Joints
should be perfectly tight. The addf.
ton of air-chambrs above and below
the cylinder would make the pumr
work more satisfactorily especially
as the water has to be forced from
the pump to the tank. B. r.

REPORT ADVERSELY.
Commissioners Disapprove Bill to Com
pensate Former Plumbing Board.

The Commissioners today forwarded to
Congress second adverse report on the bill
TO pay the members of the plumbing board
of the District from April 81, 1893. TO July
l. 1898. Prior to 1895, IL Is stated. there
was no provision made for eompensating
the members of the District plumbing board
Tor their services. For several years prior
to 1898 however, the Commissioners recon-
mended in their estimates to Congress that
the members of the board should receive
compensation at the rate of $500 a year
each Congress failed to grant the request
of the former board of Commissioners. and
1t Is stated that ii does not appear any,
where in the records of the Commissioners
that members of this plumbing board ex-
pected in any way to receive back pay for
their services.
In their report on the bill the Commits
sioners state that there is no question that
the work of the plumbing board was well
done, and that II did take a considerable
portion of their time. In view of the fact
that Congress did not at the time deem IL
advisable to compensate the members of
the board. the present Commissioners do
not believe that the bill under consideration
providing for back pay for the members of
the plumbing board should be fayorably
reported.

RECOMMENDS PENSION.
Policeman Peyton to Be Retired on $40
MONTHLY,

Commissioner West has recommended
that Private C. B. Peyton of the met
ropolitan police force be retired on a PEN
sion of SO a month. The amount of the
pension was fixed at SO, 1T is stated on
account of the officers brief service on
the force, he having served in the depart
ment for about three years.
Attorney Smith Thompson, on behalf of
Peyton upon learning of Commissioner
west s decision In the case. said today that
he will make application for reconsidera-
ton of the amount Of pension allowed to
his client on the ground, as he says, that
Peyton served three years on the force and
is only allowed $40 month, while other
pensioners. who have served much shorter
periods, have been granted pensions of SO
and s25 month.
Private Peyton's case has been before the
department for more than a year, and the
papers in the case would weigh about eight
pounds
The case was referred to the board of
police and fire surgeons in March, 1903, and
after examination of tine subject the board
made a report that Peyton was physically
incapacitated to perform the duties of a
policeman and recommended his retirement
Acting upon that report the matter was
placed before the police retiring board, and
from its inquiry into the matter the latter
board expressed the opinion that Peyton's
disability had not been incurred in the line
of duty. 1t was pointed out. however. that
of police and fire surgeons upon examina-
ton for the position of policeman.
Under all the circumstances in the case,
Maj. Sylvester, in reviewing the matter
expressed the opinion that when an appli-
cant makes clear answers to all questions
concerning his physical condition 1t Is the
duty of the physicians to pass him or not.
If passed, and in this case the applicant
passed second time. and that certifi-
cate he Is appointed to the force, he should
be entitled to the privileges which go with
the office. as one insured would expect
when accepted as a good risk. provided
there was no manifest disposition to de-
ceive."
In this case the major says. the officer
did not attempt to deceive the physicians,
but clearly answered all questions relating
to his condition.
Several days ago the board of police sur
geons, in answer to question from the
Commissioners. again reported that in their
police duty, and when the papers came
before Commissioner West yesterday he
recommended the officers retirement on a
pension as stated.

minute. Cans did not seem to be as fast
as during the past, although Cans clever
ness won for hina the decision. Cans side
stepped many vicious lunges. For several
rounds BOlen fought Cans so furiously that
the champion was compelled to keep on the
defensive
Bolen landed often to the face and body,
but his blows did not seem to worry the
champion in the least.
Cans did not let himself out until the
eighth. In that round Joe got at Bolen,
but his blows lacked the necessary steam
to put Bolen out. Cans came back at Bo-
len hard, but could not land the necessary
knockout blow.
For eleven roulds the contest was even,
and then Cans turned the tide when Joe

right to the jaw sent Boien to the floor

Bolen took the count, of nine and came

The final round was about the hardest

came up strong. looking, 1nene the worse
for his flooring, and rushed at Cans furious
ly and began to rough it, and in the gen.

After the contest neither man showed
any i'll effects of the fast pace. Only once
during the contest did the claret put in
its appearance, and that was in the seventh
when Cans caught Bolen a hard one to
the nose. which made the blood flow freely.
1t was an altogether different kind of
a battle to the Cans Blackburn affair. 1t
was voted that Bolen gave Cans one OF
his hardest battles in his career. Cans
looked as though he had trained more earn
