COWS. Or they can be bred and fed
for the dairy to the opposite extreme
and make good beef as well.
OF course such breeding will, in
time, ruin the constitution of the
stock, and destroy their qualities both
for the beef and the dairy. The ten
dency of the Shorthorn to fatten too
easily is one of the objections to this
breed; but properly fed. as they are
in England, they still retain a strong
place in the dairy.

and sawed in widths and thickness to
suit different parts. For Orders
used oak and elm, by 6; also same
for sleepers for upper and lower
floors. The Orders are four feet apart
and floor joists two feet, which makes
firm and substantial floor. We cut
logs six feet long and sawed planks
two inches thick for stall floors with a
two-inch drop floor back of COWS
lengthwise of the barn. This makes
it very easy matter to clean out
stable. We bed only the high six-foot
floor and the cow lies on this, all
droppings going to the lower floor be-
hind. We used by as for rafters,
placing them two feet apart and used
one-half pitch for roof The shreath-
ing was picked up about the place, old
boards being worked in and used to
good advantage; by IS IA feet long
were used for bearing under rafters.
These were set at an angle, thus max

made from by As and by 6s, odds
and ends being used to advantage
The feed alley Is f1oored with inch
boards running lengthwise, as is also
the loft above and floor to wool room.
The front of manger next to alley is
made Of elm boards one inch thick,
while the part next to COWS is made
from short pieces set up and down
the manager, being two feet two inches
high. The feed boxes are very solid,
all being made of two-inch elm and
are tight enough to hold fine ground
feed. The outside doors are all dou-.
BILE, one above the other, SO the upper
may be left open to admit air and sun
and still keep the animals in, even if
loose in stall.
Small windows are on each side
to let in light with larger windows
in sheep fold and hay loft. The
three box stalls are made so they
may be closed with door, as shown
in the cut. These may be used for
cows at calving time and when used
for two cows in milking these doors
are hooked back to partition. This,
we have found, very convenient
arrangement. There is door In loft
floor to throw down hay, also a
small door to pitch hay or straw
from a wagon into the NOW, with a
large door in the end to admit fork
and carrier We have good modern
hay fork and track in this barn.

Enaland,s Oldest School,

A controversy has arisen in England
as to which school has the right to

schools which were founded in the
early part of the seventh century-the
Kings school, Rochester, and the

his appointment to the see of Roches'

Official figures show that the
Catholics of New York gave more to
the cause of missions last year than
the Catholics of any other diocese

record OF the previous year by over
$23.0O0. The whole amount raised
during the year 1910 by the Rev.
Father Dunn. Director for the arch
diocese of New York of the Society
for the Propagation OF the Faith,
was $100,727.27.
Archbishop Farley has expressed
his appreciation of this work. Seven

CHURCH'S DEBT.
Tipperary Fertile Field FOR
Prelates FOR This
Country.

The American hierarchy owes a
great debt of gratitude to the
County Tipperary, Ireland, not only
for the sanity example of many long
since dead, but because many pre-
lates of our own times first saw the
light in that county.
The Right Rev. Edward Joseph
Dunno, Bishop of Dallas, who died
just before last Christmas, was born
in Tipperary in the famine year OF
'4S. The late Bishop Tierney, OF
Hartford, Conn, was from the same
county, native of the Cahir district,
and the first Archbishop of Chicago
was born in Killenaule. Most Rev,
DR.. Feehan and his successor, Most
Rev. DIR. Quigley. came from North
Tipperary. Bishop McGoldrick. OF
Duluth, likewise halls from North
Tipperary. Bishop Scanlan, of Salt
Lake City. now engaged in building
100000 Cathedral, is another
Tipperary man, and Archbishop
Glennon, of st. Louis, is native OF
Ballingarry.
The noblest Roman of them all
was the late Most Rev. Patrick John
Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia,
native of Cloneyharp, Thurles. His
