BURNED TO DEATH.

Mrs. Delina Watson, who lived
with her son, John Watson, in the
twelfth district, came to an awful
death Wednesday morning. Her
granddaughter went out to do the
milking, leaving her alone in the
house short time, and when they
returned she was found on the
porch, her clothing burned, and
she expired a few minutes later.
Mrs. Watson was 80 years old, and
had been in feeble health. The
morning was cool, and the suppo-
sition is, she either fell into the
fire or her dress was ignited in
some way, and she made desper-
ate effort to reach help. Much
sympathy is,felt for the family.

The "big head" is popular way
of expressing a common and very
frequent ailment. 1t arises from
various causes, but the real foun-
dation is lack of sense. A little
money develops it in some people;
some contract it from fancied tai
emit or superiority; a few good
clothes gives it to others; little
Office, where a chance is given to
exercise little authority is some
times the cause of it, while others
get it having O. little better job
shan their associates. The truth
is, no sensible man gets the "big
head" The one who becomes
"stuck" up or "stiff-necked" from
sources of any kind, are weak in

Barn for Mixed Farming.

The farmer who can so adjust his
work that he may dispense with the
help of one man is lucky indeed, but
many a farmer has done so by simply
changing his system of feeding and
caring for the stock; also by so dis
posing of the grain and hay that in
stead of hauling many tons of il to
market 1t is fed on the farm, and the
beef pork, butter, cheese, ETC., sold.
This allows the farmer to restore to
the ground at least a part of the fer
tility in the shape of manure.
The barn plan shown herewith in
the two illustrations, the ground plan
and the perspective view, is so ar
ranged that one man may feed and
care for the stock in a short time AS
shown on the floor plan, the barn will
accommodate IA cows, IL horses, has
box stalls for both the COWS and
horses, also large calf pen. The in
stallation of manure carriers and hay
fork is very easy, and these will soon
pay for themselves in the labor saved
A feature of the barn not to be over
looked is the arrangement of the feed
room and silo. The four-foot chute ex-
tends the entire length of the silo, and
has small windows for light, a tight
door below separating same from the
feed room to keep out dust and odors.
The silage is dropped down this chute.
and from there shoveled TO the mixing
boxes-one for the COWS and one for
| the horses. There are two bins in the
feed room and two more may be
located on the floor above and con-
nected by small spouts for drawing
off the grain. These spouts may be
located directly over the mixing boxes.
All hay is supposed to be fed from
above, one hay chute being provided
for each two stalls.
The milk room being located as it
is, the milk may be taken to it at once.
In this room should be located the
separator, also plenty of clean water;
if possible running water should be
provided. The shop is a very neces-
sary room, and it will save many small
repair bills. In it may be stored the
nails, bolts, etc. In the horse barn
the harness room is located in the
center. which makes it handy to all
parts of the same. The two box stalls
provide room for both male animals as
well as sick and ailing ones.
The hay bay is supposed to be open
clear to the roof. However, some
farmers may wish to arrange this
space different. The partition separ-
ating the cows from the center sec
ton is boarded or plastered up tight,
excepting the calf pen, to separate the
cows from any odors, dust or dirt from
the other animals. The box stalls,
however, in both the COW and horse
barn are so constructed that the in
mates may have good view of the
other animals. They like company,

and will do better If they can see their
neighbors.
The floors of the cow stable, the
milk room, feed room, and silo are Of
cement, the gutter being formed in the
floor and having a four-inch drain at
the rear leading to the manure pit.
The stalls are made to fit both long
and short cows. The first stall in
front is four feet wide and five feet
long. The rear stall is three feet six
inches wide and four feet eight inches
long. The stalls then slope from
front to the rear, each stall being
slightly shorter. Stalls are now con-
structed in so many different ways
that it is hardly worth while to men,
ton them, every COW man having his
own views OF the matter. However,
it is wise to so build them that the
stall may be easily cleaned and
washed. This construction will COM
ply with all sanitary requirements of
inspectors. The floor of the horse
stable may be of cement or clay.
The location, the local supply OF
materials, ETC., will of course govern to
a certain extent the material enter

3S feet to the peak; the silo is SO or
40 feet high.
The barn should of course have a
good foundation of stone, brick or
cement. On many farms it has been
the practice TO build a small shed
here and there and the stock is scat
tered all over the farm. This causes
an unnecessary lot of labor to care
for Them also an unsightly appear

ing barn of this sort it will not be
