proving their cattle barns. many will

cattle barn is not usually laid out for

COW will be far from doing her best.
Convenience is also a most important

The barn should he at least SO feet

q stock barn should be made.
The general construction of the
floor plan is well shown In the Illus

others win be found growing from
very small seed pieces-pieces perhaps
broken from the others by the plant
er; but the most of the runty plants
will be found coming from rotten or
rotting seed pieces. Thus, moisture,
good-sized seed, and sound seed are
necessary to a vigorous stand. The
best crops are secured in years when
the seed stays sound until digging.

A. Theodore Koopman describes a
method by which he proposes to make sub
marine boats more safe. The method he
gives would have been useless in the case
of the French Pluviose, for her shell was
crushed and this opened her seams beyond
control. The present submarine construc-
ton is in the deyelopmental stage. A 40

The secret service is hard game to
tackle, but, like all kinds of work, it has
its easy jobs. One of them is that of spe-
ciai agent for railroad. The agent is
supposed to trace those who steal or de-
stroy railroad property.
When he is notified that trunk or
other article of baggage is missing he finds
out by its number from where it was sent
and follows it on the books to the last sta
ton where it has been checked. Then he
notifies the police in the vicinity between
the station where the baggage was last
checked and the station where it should
