A MAP OF FARM DRAINS.
One Should Be Carefully Made and
Preserved When the Tile
Are Put In.

During my experience as farmer
| have seen great deal of trouble
on account of the owners of land not
knowing where the drains were, says
an Iowa farmer in writing to the
Farmers Review. One man that bought
farm found one field so wet that he
determined to drain 1t. He purchased
n large amount of tile and hired an
engineer to make levels and plans for
draining. Then he signed the con-
tracts with his diggers, and they went
to work. After the digging had pro-
gressed for day one of the men drove
his pick into a length of tile. An in
vestigation followed and the discovery
was made that the whole field had
been previously tiled. II had become
wet because In certain places the tile
had got out OF line or had been pull
verified by the frost. He had to get
out OF his contracts by compromising,
at disadvantage to himself In the
repair OF the old drains he had great
deal OF trouble. as he could only tell
where drain lay by uncovering 1t.
This shows the necessity there IL
for the keeping Of maps of all kinds
OF underground structure such as
drains and catch basins. A copy of
the map should be nailed up In the
barn or somewhere else.

Illinois correspondent of Prairie Farm.

give herewith the plan OF barn that
has many advantages. A is the mixing
room; b, horse stable; G, feed alleys; ID,
COW stalls; Il, box stall; +, passage be-
hind cattle; G, manger; II, root house
under driveway; |, silo. This plan is
for barn 36X50 feet, with silo. and is
suitable for three horses and 10 cows.
The framework above the basement
provides for an 1S-foot bay above the
horse stable. then q 12-foot driveway
and then 20-foot bay. In order to have
corn for a team TO be taken out beside
loaded wagon. there should be an over
lay of six feet in the NOW over the cat
tie. This will give plenty of room on
the thrashing floor. The stairway 10 the
basement Is from the mixing room and
the hay or feed from above is let down
through a swinging door beside the stair
way.
The basement consists of 16 single COW
stalls. box stalls and four horse stalls
with feed rooms. Provision is made for
a concrete root house arched over with
concrete under the driveway. The silo
Is on the outside Of the barn beside the
driveway and IL can be made any size de-
sired, one 10 feet In diameter and 80 feet
high would be required for the stock

Young Englishman Of Means on Ex-
ploring Expedition in Polar
Region.

An enterprising young Engiishman
named Alfred II. Harrison started last
summer down the Mackenzie. the great
northern river OF Canada, to spend the
winter somewhere In the neighborhood
OF Its mouth. His winter camp is sup
posed TO be in the delta among the
Eskimo. Next spring he expects to
set out on an exploring expedition
into an unknown polar area.
All the maps show a great number
OF arctic Islands to the north of this
continent. But the western part OF
this region has not yet been explored
excepting very nvaf Tue coast. and
there Is a stretch of about 1000 miles
of sea to the west of Prince Patrick
Island and Banks Landing where not
bit of land is shown.
The Jeanette drifted through the
middle of this region without seeing
land until she got north of the New
Siberia Islands, where she discovered
three Islands. No reason Is known
why there should not be other islands.
and tlarrison's purpose is. II possible,
TO find new lands, should any exist in
this part of the Arctic.
Harrison has one advantage over
most explorers and that is that he is
man Of means. All he had to do
was to select his field Of work. settle
the bills for his OUTFIT, and 20 on his
way.
He Is bearing the whole expense
himself. except that he received loan
Of scientific instruments from the
Royal Geographical society; and some
of the slodgcs and other equipment
used by a south polar expedition
we're presented to him.
The work before him Is difficult and
hazardous. but thero Ia every reason
to hope that he may be able to add
something at least to our knowledge
of this unknown area. He Is an eX.
psrienced traveller, and has trained
himself very" thoroughly to carry ont
his work on scientific lines. He has
a number of excellent assistants and
expects to buy dogs of the Eskimos
in tho Mackenzie delta.
According to our present lnowl.
edge, IT Is doubtful II the more north.

Franz Josef Land Dr. Nanscn came
upon sea with soundugs Of 1000

It Is believed that this deep sea ex.
tends over the whole Of the north
polar area to within 100 or $50 miles
of the continents. If this Is the case.
no land is likely to he found, except
on the continental shelf, where the
soundings rarely exceed 800 rathoms.
II Harrison discovers new Islands. the
probability is that he will find them
within 200 miles of the coasts Of
North America or Asia.

PLAN OF A STOCK BARN.
Building for the Stock Should Be
Arranged with View to Great
est Convenience.

One thing farmer should work hard
for is to have his farm buildings ar
ranged as conveniently as possible. Not
long ago I was in a barn and was i'm
pressed by the great loss of energy the
owner Of the barn sustained every time
he fed his horses and cattle. Every
pound of hay fed had to be carried from
the NOW quite distance to pitch hole
down which II was thrown, thence to
be carried along alleys until the managers
we're reached. The straw shed in that
barn was Just as unhandy. All the straw
used had to be conveyed so or 60 feet
before reaching the stables.
Now a little foresight would have rem
dered all this extra labor unnecessary.
When the barn is being built is the time

Life of n Dairy Cow

A dairy COW should not show any
marked falling of until after ten years
OF age; many excellent records have
been made by cows older than this.
The quality of milk produced by heif
ers Is somewhat better than that of
older cows. for we find a decrease of
one to two'tenths of one per cent. In
the average fat contents for each year
till the cows have reached full age.
II is caused by the increase In the
weight of the cows with advancing age; (;
at any rate there appears to be paral
lelsm between the two sets of figures
for the same cows.-Midland Farmer
