Rchusetts. He said hides were on the
free list as the bill passed the house,

Yet you never told a lie,
Never learned to use deceit.
Never laid path awry
For some fellow beings feet,
Never caused single tear
Save upon the day you died
And they say your end is here
Though eternity is wide.
We can count a hundred things.
Brave, bold things, all done by you
Deeds such as heroic kings
Had not been ashamed to do:
Most of all, though, it is fine.
To recall the heart you had,
And to know that dog of mine
You were always. always glad.

While all farmers would, no doubt,
agree on the question of conveniently
arranged and substantially construct
ed farm buildings, also that the
housing of the different kinds of stock
n separate buildings is advisable,
many of us, for some reason, are so
situated that it is not possible to build
separate buildings, writes ]. E. Bridg-
nan in American Agriculturist. The
question of labor causes us to so ar
'ange our farm buildings that the feed
ng and caring for stock is reduced to
The minimum. This can best be ac-
;omplished where all, or at least the
greater part, of the stock is housed
under one roof, and in building that
will have storage room for large
quantity of feed.
The barn plan herewith illustrated
q good example of that type of
,arn. The barn is balloon frame,

IDEAL CORN
FOR PLANTING
Farmer Should Be Able to Really
Know Good Ear When He
Secs It-Description of
Best Kind.

When a farmer selects corn for
planting he should be able to really
know good ear of corn when he sees
it. The following description should
enable the careful observer to make
good selections:
Authorities have decided that the
best form for an ideal ear should be
as near a cylinder as possible. 1t
should be about 10 inches long and
about seven inches in circumference,
or at least this ratio should be as
near parallel as possible and the
grains should grow we'll over the tip
and butt. The grains should be wedge
shape and their length should be at
least twice their width. The cob
should be small, from 81 to 80 per
cent. of an ear of corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red and in white corn it should be
white. If one desires his corn to have
high protein contents the germ or
heart should be large. If meal is to
be made the white or starchy end
should be large. The grains should
be firm on the cob and the ear should
be firm, solid and heavy. The grains
of the dent" varieties will be more
or less wrinkled on the outer tip, 9TH
erwise the surface of The ear should
be smooth and glossy A dead color
usually indicates low vitality.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District Of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of com
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing Of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it, No
Court in the country stands higher.

building should be set on good stone
or cement foundation, and If the ex-
rense can be borne a cement floor
over the entire barn will soon pay for
itself, as it affords no harbors or hid
ing places for rats and mice. How
ever, a fairly good floor may be made
with clay.
AS will be seen by the floor plan,
the barn has accommodation for ten
COWS and six horses. 1t also has two
box stalls. These may be used for
various purposes, such as calf or hog
pens, COWS with young calves, or all
ing animals. There is large corn
crib, oats bin, feed room, and a large
open drive that may be used for
wagons, or for storing implements. A
five by five foot hay chute is built
over the passage located between the
Iced room and box STALL This chute
extends within 1S or 20 inches of the
roof, and acts as ventilator for the
entire barn.

BROOMCORN IS
PAYING CROP
Product Can Be Worked Up to
Good Advantage by Farmer
and Family at Home
BY Thomas M. CiseI.

Broomcorn can be grown on almost
any soil but does the best on level,
black soil. The planting and cultiva-
ton is the same as of Indian corn,
only the plants must be much thicker
in the row, as close planting r'1kes
the brush long and fine, which is much
desired for making brooms. Plant
some next spring.
A farmer who has 20 acres of
broomcorn should have Is men when
the corn is ready for cutting. which
should be done the sixth day after
the brush commences to push from
the root.
In cutting, the corn is first made
into tables or benches by overlapping
two rows.
After the tables are made the cut
ters pass down the open row and re-
move the brush from the stalk at the
first joint below the boot, placing it
in small punches on the table.
After that 1t is placed on wagons
and taken to the seeder where the
seed is removed by passing the bursh
through spiked rollers.
1t is then placed on racks in cur
ing shed. These racks are made by
Stating the sides of an open shed
with wooden strips one by two inches
and laying cross-sticks from one wall
to the other The brush is placed
about three inches deep on the cross
sticks where it gets the benefit OF
plenty of air.
After two weeks it is removed from
the racks and made into bales.
Some growers sell the bales to the
factory, others make it into brooms in
their own shops.
