CELEBRATED THE EVENT.

SATURDAY. was certainly a gala day
! for Post C, the local division of the
Travellers Protective Association, as
the canvass made for eligible members

new applications for membership.
Three squads worked the city, one on
the west side, one south of Main
street and one north. r. c. Ellis of

paign as the majority of the outof-
town members confined their efforts
to other localities where there was
larger working field. 1t was thought
at the most there would not be more
than fifteen or sixteen applications
gathered in during the day. The new
members bring the local chapter up
to the membership mark of 316, but
the same systematic canvass will be
made again next Saturday. During the
week however the various committee
members will keep plugging away and
it is probable that next weeks work
will be as successful as the canvass
Saturday There is limited field in
which to work however.
In celebration of the work and sue

IN THOSE DAYS AROSE KINGS.

Imagine yourself back two years
and a half before Wild Week, back
at the time when the kings of finance
had just completed their apparently
hnal conquest of the industries of the
country, when they were seating
themselves upon thrones encircled by
vast armies of capital and brains,
when all the governments OF the ma

was founded upon the hearts and
homes of the people, upon faith in my
frank honesty.
How had ] built up my power? BY
recognizing the possibilities of pub
licity, the chance which the broad
cast sowing of newspapers and maya
zines put within the reach of the in

Three Floor Plans of Round Barn.

between the circular and oblong forms
would amount to goodly sum.
The efficiency and economy of labor
in the circular barn is easily seen.
Everything is under one roof, one
feed room serves for all, there is no
wading through drifts from barn to-
barn in winter, and by use of feed
carriers and wagon to gather
manure, labor and time are reduced
to minimum.
The cut is reproduced from a de-
sign by the author and requires little
explanation. The first floor is the
basement floor, and contains stanch-
ions for 80 cows, pens for sheep and
swine, four calving pens, milk room
provided with separator, testing APP
pliance, churn, etc, feed room, root
bin and an 1S-foot silo. There is a
driveway behind each row of stalls
to allow of cart being driven in to
remove manure, and the feed is
handled in hand cart, similar to
those used by all up-to-date dairymen.
The second floor is reached by two
slightly elevated driveways. 1t con-
tains stall room for Is horses, the,
main granary, carriage and machineryN
rooms. The floor under the horses
is rendered water tight by two layers
OF matched flooring sealed and coat
ed with tar compound The liquid
manure from both floors is conveyed
by drains to cement cistern.
The third floor is reached by short.
viaduct, and here the silo is filled and
all thrashing done. Hay and bundles
are unloaded by means of two circular
hay carriers. Water from the we'll is
pumped by windmill into a storage
tank just above the silo on the third
floor, thence being piped all through
the barn and house
The floor of the second story is
supported by the partition studs of
the first floor, while the third floor
and roof are upheld by the silo and
four-inch posts. Six ventilating shafts
run from the first floor up the side
walls to the apex of the roof
While the round barn may have its
faults, in the opinion of Prairie Farm
er, it is becoming to be considered
much superior to other forms in many
ways, and its adherents are increasing
rapidly, especially in the dairy sec
tions
