Floor Plan Of Barn for Horses.

Recently I had occasion to design
FOR large farm a stable to hold work
horses and mules. The owner wished
rue economy, yet to give the animals
Ill the comfort possible without undue
expense, and to have the manure
saved well, and to have the stable so
arranged that feeding, caring for the
horses and removing the manure
would be as inexpensive as possible.
writes Joseph z. Wing, In Breeders
Gazette. After considerable thought
and getting some frst-rate ideas from
his manager and himself. the follow
Ing plan has been evolved. Frankly,
think 1t better stable than any that
have yet seen published anywhere.
The general plan is simple. A drive
way ten feet wide gives access to the
stalls andEpsrmits the spreader to
take out the manure. The stalls are
mostly box-stalls. sx10 feet Greatly the
two-inch thickness Of the partitions

horse or mule is kept The single
stalls go three to each 16-foot space.
The posts are 16 feet between CEN
ers; floor joist Is feet long; lower
ALTERS, l6 feet; upper rafters, Is feet
The feed alleys are FIVE feet wide.
There may be bins above for oats;
ny chutes throw hay directly into
dhe feed alley. and several chutes
ought to be provided. All of the frame
Is OF the familiar joist frame pattern
with self-supportiQg roof Hay comes
In at the end, although one could
easily arrange to take 1t In at the mid
die. making harness room there and
temporary box-stalls.
On the whole, like that idea best.
- the barn Is too long to run hay In,
all from one end and doors In gables
arc troublesome. The details Of frame
are not changed from what one can
dnd carefully described In Farm
Buildings book that every intend
ing builder should own. II trans

The box-stalls are provided with

plank two inches thick. should put
Them together with small bolts. II
good tracks are used they win move
at a touch and last forever. Some
night prefer to board up the box
stalls higher than five feet. see no

harm. 1t will be objected by some
that box-stalls 8x10 feet are too small.
cannot agree with this. II one
argos big box-stalls 1t is as though he
urged the use of no box-stalls at all.
No one can afford very large box
stalls for work horses. In stalls 8x1O
feet the horse has freedom to turn
around easily and all the comfort 1t
needs. II perchance some OF the stalls
are desired on occasion to be used for
brood mares the partitions may some

Those great oaks, ash and walnuts
were but saplings once. While we do
not indorse the leaving of trees grow
In cultivated fields, every nice-shaped
sapling OF variety of value as tim
Der tree should be left to grow.
There are thousands of small plots
of timber, where great many OF the
trees will measure two feet, and some
OF them thirty inchc at the stump.
These. thirty years ago. were sap

deck just peeping above the water When the
sea was calm and the sky WAS clear the sun
beat down on the metal and the men who had
stood the night watches and were trying to
sleep suffered more severely than do the
people in the crowded back tenements in New
York city on hot July night when death
walks through the streets. An officer who
served on monitor during the Spanish war
told me that the average temperature for q
long period OF time in his cabin was 10h de-
grees.
Recently two young officers not long out
of the naval academy were forced to resign
from the service because they were constantly
seasick while on service on the battleships.
The young fellows stuck 1t out for several voy-
ages, but when 1t is remembered that a seasck
man as a rule Is SO sick that he Is perfectly
willing to die, it can be understood what these
young fellows suffered during the weeks Of
the voyaging. They resigned from the navy
simply because they could not be Of any serv-
ice They were sick from the moment the voy-
age began until they were back once more In
port They were competent officers and since
their resignation they have been given land
berths as officers Of heavy artillery in the
United States army.

who served on the old frigate Constitution, II

Of the service He said he knew of only one
case, that of an officer who developed seasick-
ness after some years of service, but that 1t
was thought that slight injury to his spine
had affected his stomach and that It was this
more than the motion Of the vessel which wac
the cause of his -ailnent.
This same veteran officer said that there
Is considerable seasicness today in the navy,
although comparatively few cases that could
be called chronic, and that they we're due, he
believed, more to the heat of the modern steel
vessels than to the motion caused by the
waves. In the old days of wooden ships with
sail power only, there was no heat on board
except that given out by the galley and by the
small stove which occasionally was to be found
in the captains cabin. The old-time ships In
winter were kept in warm climates as much as
possible or otherwise the men would have
frozen TO death.

commanded by Commodore Perry, who opened
the ports of Japan to the commerce of the
United States. is anchored In Hampton Roads.
where it is used as marine hospital service
station. A surgeon stationed on the jamestown
once told me that in the old days, when the
vessel was In commission the only way the
captain could warm himself without going to
the galley was to have a roundshot heated in
the stove, then dropped into bucket Of sand
to be carried aft to his cabin, where It gave
out just enough warmth to temper for q few
moments the cold of the quarters.

MUCH SUCCESS
WITH POTATOES


Prince Edward Island is one Of the
most successful producers Of the po-
tato. Its total area under cultivation
ID less than 1900 square miles; the
annual yield OF the potato crop aver
ages 100000 bushels.
The most favorable results have
been obtained In fields that have not
bean MANFRED for many years. The
opinion prevails that manure pollutes
the potato and disposes It TO rot be-
fore and after digging. Newly-cleared
woodlands yield large crops for many
successive years without the addition
Of any fertilizing, To aid exhausted
soil commercial fertilizer is used. II
