Plan of Cow Stall.

but believe the increase in milk is a
reward for allowing more space and
convenience to each COW.
The cut shows the kind of stall
which | prefer, writes a correspondent
of the Missouri Valley Farmer. The
rack, a, is of hardwood 80 inches high,
with the Stats wide enough so COW can
thrust her nose through up to her
eyes.
The bottom of the rack is IS inches
wide, extending into the stall toward
the cow The feed box, b, slides
through an opening in the stall on the
barn floor. 1t can be drawn into the
feedway, cleaned out and a new feed
put in without being disturbed by the
COW.
The halter strap, C, is just long
enough to allow the COW to lie down
comfortably The gutter, d, is eight
inches lower than the stall floor
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneelIng and
when she gets up she will move back
ward so that she can look through the
rack. The length and width of stall
can be made to suit the cows.

probably five young mill operatives
and property loss of half million
dollars. The fire destroyed Mill No.

Company. The bodies of four boys,
charred beyond hope of Identification,
were found in the smoking ruins,
and, as five boys are known to be
missing. it is believed that another
body will be discovered.
Several of the injured were hurt
while descending by ropes.
The fire broke out in the mill not
long after the 500 or more opera
tives had assembled for their days
work. Friction from belt general
ed sparks which lodged in mass of
cotton and the flames quickly spread
throughout the building. The exits
soon became blocked by a struggling
mass of mill nds, and many were
obliged to jum. from the windows.
Others secured ropes and descended
to the ground.
There were several daring rescues
by f1remen. Four imprisoned men
on the fourth floor were taken out of
a window, though not until they had

THAT EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE.
Jury Declares 1t Not Sufficient For
Exemption To Pay.

San Francisco Especially THE
earthquake clause upon which many
of the insurance companies based
their refusal to pay the full amount
of policies on losses arising from
the April $1,000 disaster, was con-
sidered not sufficient for exemption
by the jury which heard the evidence
in the case of Thomas Bergin
against the Commercial Union AS
surance Company of London. The
verdict was rendered before Judge
Whitson in the Circuit Court and
judgment, was in favor of the plain
tiff for $6.778.
Judge Whitson in his charge to
the jury gave rather strong indorse-
ment to the exemption feature of
the earthquake clause, directing the
jury that if it found that the fire
originated from the earthquake. even
remotely. the judgment should be
for the defendant companies, but the
Judge specified that in determining
the origin of the fire the jury would
have to ascertain the exact and par
ticular origin of the fire which cauS-
ed the lass of Bergin's prperty, and
then determine if its origin was
from the earthquake.
