HHICAGO.-The much appreciated
~ barrel in lieu of wearing apparel
was in demand at the West Lake
street police station several days ago
when the time came to prepare for
taking Felix McGee to the Desplaines
street municipal court.
Felix was shy of clothing and shiv-
cred in a cell in the cold basement
while the police officials puzzled their
brains as to how they would get him
to trial. The trouble was that Felix
wore nothing but a pair of paiamas.

Meanwhile, from these and earlier
introductions, there has been ap-

from which will doubtless eventually

So Maudie had to do 1t all.

And had no time to make date.
The village boys came now and then.
And saw the rake. and left again.
Alas! For Maud. she saved the hay.
But lost a husband ev'ry day.

The Helendale stall was originated
upon the noted Helendale Guernsey
farm. 1t has not only been used with
unqualified success there but also up
on many other well-known places, says
Homestead. 1t has several points of
excellence which merit consideration.
1t includes number of the merits
credited to the model and in addition
several other noteworthy features.
Among these is the crossbar which
prevents the COW from going too far
forward. This bar is placed upon two
luprights and only permits the COW to
reach comfortably and easily into the
manger. 1t is adjustable so that it
may be raised or lowered to accommo-
date different sized COWS. The cows
are secured in the stalls by means of
chains running from partition to par
tition. These partitions are hung on
sell Dentering hinges which force them
to RETURN to the center when left free.

jacent portions of the Dominion of

severe for most varieties and it's

Natural Environment.

BY means of this device the partitions
are always in place and yet the gate
may be swung to one side to admit
the mixer and to make it easier to
clean out and bed down the stable.
The gutter used in connection with
the Helendale stall is constructed
somewhat differently from the model
stall. 1t has an 1S-inch drop back OF

been estimated to cost $5671.
