Club HOUSE
HAS TOO MANY POSTS

There seems 10 be disposition on
the part of the members Of the Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club to severe
ly criticise the work Of Architect Al
bert Held and his plans Of the new
club building located at the south end
of the Monroe street bridge.
The plans looked all right on paper,
but now, as the worlxmen proceed with
the work Of construction, glaring mis-
takes in the plans Of construction are
said to be revealed.
A trip of inspection taken by the
writer this morning shows there is lit
tie wonder. the members have become
critical, s.,...s b e.qti-'
The principal mkick" is about the
arrangement of the six bowling alleys.
Two of these have had to be cut six
ipches in width in order that the work
men could make room for all of the
half dozen alleys. Posts are in the
way of the gullies. These posts must
be cut to make room. Instead of hav-
ing the place where the pin-setters
return the balls down the center Of
SHc .dllCySy poSlS are III thS way anu
all balls must be rolled from the pin
boys away round at the south side Of
the room to reach the players. The
runway used in hurting the balls is
short. Another glaring mistake made
is in the nearness of the alleys to these
posts at the east end of the alleys and
the wall on the north side of the build
in. A player in running to roll the
ball often in giving it the curve he
wishes runs to one side of the runway
and hurls the ball from there. This
cannot be done, at the club alleys
Posts are in the way and on the north
side he will scrape the plaster from
the wall.
Too Much Post.
All over the building it is a case Of
too much post. Posts are thrown in
promiscuously and wherever there is
room. The interior in places looks like
the timberinQ in a mine.

MONEY MAKING
DAIRY FARM
ftCopyrisht, 1904, by the Associated
Farm Press.)

copyright, 1904, by the Associated
Farm Press.) ~
The science of operating the dairy
adjunct to farm at a profit ID well
Illustrated by H. P. Purviance, q pros
porous farmer of Logan county, Ill.
He has about 100 head of cows and
calves, and the dairy interest is an
important one in the management of
the farm. The cows are mostly Of the
Jersey breed, although there are few
Shorthorns, and some of mixed breed.
The dairy produces on an average
about 200 pounds of butter weekly. in
addition to that consumed on the table
OF the family of IL. The income is
$2l3 per annum, or $7S per cow of 40
in the herd. Mr.. and Mrs. Purviance
argue that the skim milk and butter
milk, some of which is sold and the
rest fed to pigs and calves, cover the
item of labor in connection with the
dairy.
Careful estimates show that the cost
OF cows feed each year is about $28,
leaving a balance of $50 as net profit.
In addition they figure that the calves
produced pay good interest on the in
vestment in the herd and equipment
of the dairy. On the credit side Of
the ledger must also be considered the
value to the land of the manure.
All the clover hay is fed during the
winter-as much as the cows will eat
in addition to from a gallon to a gall
lon and half of corn bran, the latter
being mixed with wheat. Less bran
ia fed when the clover is extra good.
More bran is used if timothy hay is
fed. Less ground feed is used when
on stalk feed.
At the age of three days the calves
are taken from the cows and fed whole
milk from its own mother for three
weeks, then skim milk mixed with
whole milk, the amount being gradu-
ally increased until at the age of four
or FIVE weeks, skim milk only is fed.
The calf will then commence to nibble
hay or grass. Ninety per cent of the
cows raise a calf annually. The steer
calves are sold as feeders when they
reach the age Of two to three years old.
A little grain is fed during the first
Winter, and during the second winter
they go through on roughase.
The butter produced at the Purvi-
ance dairy is sold and delivered to pri-
vate families in Lincoln, and even
when occasional lots are sold to stores
it brings the uniform price of 30 cents
per pound.
Mrs. Purviance prefers hand sepa-
rator for the dairy. The milk utensils
are first washed in cold water, then
in warm water and soap, and finally
scalded after each time used.
Mr.. Purviance farms 400 acres, but
pays but a an acre, the low rate being
allowed owing to the presence of the
stock. The fertility of the land has
been well preserved and improved dur
ing his IL years of tenantry.

The Trap Nest.
H. L. Blanchard.

H. L. Blanchard.
A trap nest is a contrivance devised
for the purpose of ascertaining the
laying ability of a fowl. All ordinary
fiocks Of hens-both of pure, as well
as of mixed eeding-have greater
or less number of good, poor and in
different laying qualities. 1t is very
important that the poultryman know
those hens of his flock that lay 100
or more eggs per annum, also those
that lay only 80 to so eggs. When
one is DESTROYS of increasing the lay
ing qualities of his flock, such knowl-
edge becomes indispensable. The max
i'm, ''like begets like or the likeness
of an ancestor" has repeatedly been
shown to apply with equal force to
the hen, as we'll as to other live stock.
When ore is DESTROYS then, of increas-
ing the laying ability OF his flock his
first step should be to select only the
best layers for the breeding pens,
and hatch from only such eggs. The
result will be better layers. Any
method by which the best layers can
be known (not guessed at) is equally
important.
There are various devices for such
purposes. The trap nest is the one
generally used. Any nest which Will
permit one hen to enter, and only
one, and at the same time prevent
her exit is trap nest. Such nest
can be devised by most any person.
In all trap nests the hen requires an
attendant. When the egg is laid the
hen and the egg are at once removed
from the nest, and number written
upon the egg to correspond with the
number on the leg band worn by the
hen. One years attention OF this
kind enables one to know the laying
ability of that hen for that year. The
next year, however, she may not lay
more than one half the number. 1t
will be readily seen then that while
the trap nest may be of some value
in flocks of only few hens, it is
utterly out of the question in large
fiocks, as "the game would not be
worth the powder"
