A DAIRY BARN.

A Modern Model Adapted to the
Growing Use of the Silo.
The change in methods of feeding
dairy cows incident upon the growing
use of the silo calls for change in the
character of dairy barns. No longer is
large storage capacity needed for hay
and other roughness, for the silo sup
plies a large part of the bulky food,
and silage, though coming under this
head, Is not at all bulky" as compared
with hay and other dry fodder. A plan
is drawn in the accompanying illustra-
tions which utilizes an old barn, adding

to this wings on each side for the cow
stalls These wings can be extended to
any length desired, so that the number
of cows to be kept need not be limited
by the building. A whole new struc-
ture can be built after this plan, but 1t
often happens that small barn Is at
hand and the owner desires to enlarge
his stock Of cows. In such case the
wings can be added ut less expense
than would result from building one
large barn to accommodate the desired
number Of cows.
The floor plan shows an exceedingly
convenient arrangement for minimizing
work, an important point when large
stock Is kept. From the end Of the
feed floor between the two slloS runs
q small feed car upon track that
branches at the entrance to the two
alleys between the COW stalls, turn
table at the branch sending the car in
either direction, as desired. A switch"
could be used instead The car passes
the grain room and goes past the head
Of every stall, so that the work of feed
ing the stock is reduced to its lowest
terms. Eight pens and box stalls are
provided for the accommodation of
calves and cows with calf, while a
number of stalls are devoted to young
stock, as every dairy farm ought to
raise the heifer calves from the best
cows, to take the place of the poorest
cows that can thus be turned off. This
insures a constant increase in the quail
ity of the herd
At the end Of each wing is a wide
shed, into which the manure is wheeled

 The institute separated into the two sections for the afterSoon.
 The advanced section was in charge of Superintendent Cole of Phoenix and took up the subject of grammar.
 Miss Alice Resor had a class of her pupils present and showed how she taught them the verb. Miss Gertrude Sutton also had her class and gave a lesson on Tense. Both these recita- tions were we'll received and showed ed as difficult and tedious can be made simple and interesting.
 Miss Marguerite Williams gave a lesson in music with a class of fifth grade pupils. She took a selection they were entirely unfamiliar with and in the short time allotted taught them something of the composer, helped them to get the beauty of the thought expressed in the words and to sing the song both by syllable and word.
 Miss Williams work was exception ally well done and heartily approved by Prof. J. w. Todd, who followed with a brief talk on the subject of music.
 The subject of home reading for pu- pills was presented in four short pa pers by Prof. Bunch, Miss Julia Todd, Miss Hattie Green and Miss Ida Mc Daniel. The main points brought out in these papers were that the teachers. especi- ally in the rural districts. should as- isist the pupils to procure home read ing; that the home reading should be closely allied to their school work, and that the teacher should strive to cul- Itivate a love for good literature. Following a violin solo by Miss Lulu IIilgen, which was heartily encored the advanced section adjourned.
 The primary section was in charge of Miss May McNulty of the Normal and the subject under discussion was language work
 Miss McNulty read a paper on the organization of a story.
 Miss Louise I-ynd of Glendale told a story as she would tell it to her first and second grade pupils.
 Miss Florence Ford of Phoenix il- frustrated the work in the fourth grade by telling her class "The Bell of Atri' and the children gave a reproduction, of the story.
 The story of the life of Rosa Bon heur was told by Miss Mamie King of Wilson district to her class, and they reproduced it to illustrate the work in the third grade.
 Following these papers was a dis cussion on how to get best results in language work.

CRAZY MAN BLOCKS
A RAILROAD TRAIN
Destitute of Clothing He Sits
on Track and Fights
Train Crew

A crazy man sitting on the tracks,
minus his clothes, was enc of the
sights witnessed by the crew of a rap
idly approaching passenger train of the
Milwaukee, near Pipestone, yesterday
afternoon.
The engineer footed his whistle and
rang the bell of the locomotive, but the
man did not move, and it was only by
applying the full force of the air brakes
that the train was stopped before it
reached the apparently oblivious man.
Several of the crew jumped to the
ground and rushed up to the man, but
he arose to his feet and put up one
of the liveliest fights seen along the
line in years. He put the engineer
down for the count with a left hook
to the wind and hung the La Blanche
whirl on the jaw of an aggressive
brakeman and finished by getting to
the conductor with straight right
punch on the nose.
Two large, thick brakemen then at
tackled him on the f1anks and the crazy
man took third money.
He was then clothed and put in the
baggage car and taken to Pipestone,
where he gave his name as John Ran
dolph, of Virginia. He said that he
was telegraph operator and could
send messages to anyone without wires
or machinery of any kind.
Judge Ring examined the man and
committed him to the state asylum.

BOY PROVES SMOOTH
Accused of Selling Silk That
Was Cotton and Cheap Lace

George Mckenzie, thirteen years OF
age, arrested Tuesday on suspicion OF
having stolen several pieces of dress
goods which he attempted to dispose
of to st. Anthony hill tailors, forfeited
$25 bail money yesterday afternoon by
failure to appear in court to answer
the charge of larceny.
Much sympathy was bestowed upon
the boy, who. said that he had not
stolen the cloth, but that his father had
purchased it in Philadelphia, and that
he was endeavoring to assist the fam
lily, which was living in a tent near
the University avenue car barns. HI. j.
Williamson, stepfather of the boy cor
roborated the statement and put up the
bail.
1t developed yesterday that the boy
was somewhat of a sharper, when Mr..
and Mrs. e. A. Drew, 1914 Iglehart
street; Mrs. Andrews, 1902 Carroll
street, and Relief Agent Hutchins ap-
peared before County Attorney Kane
and asked for a warrant for the re-
arrest of the boy.
Mrs. Drew said that the boy had ap-
peared at her house and after selling
her quantity of lace at high price,
which he declared had been smuggled
into the country, borrowed SIS on silk
dress pattern. Later he called ON Mrs.
Andrews and secured $23 on a sale of
lace and loan on a silk dress pattern.
A close examina ton of the goods de-
ve1oped the fact that the silk was
mercerized cotton, worth at the ut
most 121s cents per yard, and that the
lace was of a cheap variety, not worth
smuggling. Mrs. Andrews said that
she thought that the boy must have
secured at least $500 from various peo-
pie in the hill district in the same
manner.
The work was done so smoothly,
however, that County Attorney Kane
held that no warrant could be issued
for the boy. If he had misrepresented
the value of the goods, or borrowed
money on insufficient security, it was
the fault of the purchasers and no
crime.
The family has moved from the lot
near the car barns on University ave-
nue.. taking the tent with them.

RATE OF TAX LEVY
DECREASED z MILLS
Reduction for This Year Due to
Saving in the City Ad.
ministration

City Comptroller Betz has completed
the city tax levy rate to be paid for
1904 and the county auditor will finish
his work along the same line today,
with the result that the average levy
for the different districts will be about
mills on the dollar below the levy for
1903.
The levy for city purposes includes
everything but about mills, 1 mill of
which is for the schools and the re-
mainder for the county expenses, and
practically the entire reduction is ac-
counted for in the reduced expense i'm
cldent to the management of the city.
The cost of running the county govern
ment will be practically the same in
1904 as in 1903, and the credit of the
reduction is therefore due to the city
administration.
In the old city limits, including dis
tricts 1 to and 8, the rate for city
taxes for 1904 is 19 mills on the dollar.
with approximately mills additional
for schools and county taxes. The 1908
rate for these districts was 29.10, and
the decrease will amount to about 2
mills.
There is but little proportionate diff
ference in the other districts, added To
lHe CITY ILHllS III Idlef years. sIne CITY
rate is 1850 in districts Z and 8, and
1880 in district 10, and the decrease
will be about mills.
The reduction is to some extent due
to the increased valuation, the total
this year being almost $2,00000 above
that of last year. The comparison is
$93,992,4S1 for 1903 and $95, IT'S, 362 for
1904, the raise having largely been
made by the state board of equaliza-
ton.
