able size, you can give your cat
tie plenty of chance to move
about and obtain exercise and still
be dry and protected from the
severe cold of winter. A parti-
ton could be run through the
basement, which would effectually
shut off a part of it, and provide an
excellent stable for horses. A drive
way may be arranged for on the floor
above and hay bins if desirable, can
extend clear from the basement to the
roof. On the second floor the granar-
les can be constructed and chutes ar
ranged so that hay and grain may be
delivered to the stable without Difficult
ty. A round silo may be constructed
at one end of the barn, either of slaves
or of split fencing and will provide
plenty of cheap, succulent food for the
winter feeding of your cattle.

cooperation. The most
potent factor is the church
federation. This is a cor
poration. 1t joins six OF
the leading denominations
into one organization. This
organization has for its
object the unifying of ef-
forts to advance the moral
and religious interests OF
the community with a keen
interest in the educational
and temporal affairs. In
modern talk it can be
called a religious trust in
tended to avoid the cOmpe-
tition-the friction that re-
tards to so great an extent
the influence of the
churches. This federation
of churches has a church
building where an audi
ence of 1 900 people can be
accommodated. The mem
bership is over 500 and the
Sunday school organized
on modern lines had an en-
rollment of 532 at the last
annual meeting.
The Christian Co-Opera-
tive Telephone Association
is another factor that
helps to join these people
together, and has greatly
aided development. This
system covers an area of
35 miles up and down the
valley, with a width of five
to ten miles. 1t maintains
two central stations, and

two 2X6'S. AS a rule, a
saddle roof is put on,
which adds immensely to
the storage space, and ar
rangements can easily be
made for a hay fork and
tracks, so that coarse
rough folders Of almost
every description can be
easily unloaded and stored
in the loft. A barn of this
kind may be two or three
stories in height; that is,
the basement may be built
into the side of a hill, as
it we're, the back and sides
being enclosed by a wall,
made, say of one part of
cement, two or three of
clean sand, and three or
four of broken rock. A
cement wall OF this char-
acter can be constructed
cheaply and makes a very
effective foundation, as it
effectually keeps out wa
ter, and the mortar is not
affected as it would be
were brick used. A ce-
ment wall can also be con-
structed for considerably
less than a rock wall. A
barn of the kind might be
left open on the south side
and simply boarded up like
an ordinary fence. This
would allow plenty of light
and air to circulate, and
then by dividing the base
ment off into stalls of suit

Mr.. Lane is perhaps the only exponent of
years ago he moved upon this land which was
then, except in very low water, an island, and
made his home there. A rich farmer, Rudolph
Hermel by name, who owned the adjoining
shore for nearly mile up and down the lake
claimed to own the island peninsula also;
and tried to drive Lane away, but the sturdy
fisherman disputed his right to the island as
he called it, and refused to move.
One day there was gathering Of many men
at Hermers place and much free beer was
drunk, and finally a huge athlete by the name
of Semprich started out across the lake in Il
r0wboat, breathing threatenings against the
squatter, while an interested audience waited
on the shore to- see what would happen.
Out in midlake the rowboat sprang, a leak
and sank and Semprich was drowned before the
eyes! of his friends, who had expected to see
him do great things with the stubborn squatter.
Then Her1nel commenced an action in court
to dispossess Lane, but the case went against
him, and Lane remained in possession where he
has been ever since. =.
