POINTS IN FARM BUILDINGS
Matter Should Be Considered From
Money-Maklng Standpoint Rather
Than Fine Appearance.
(By r. M. RoBERTs.)

1t always gives me great satisfac.
ton to see the big red barns that dot
the country everywhere, but the more
study the question of farm build.
ings the more l am coming to believe
that we would better devote more at.
tention to sanitation and practical util.
ity and less to large snowy houses and
barns. A large snowy barn looks nice
but we should consider the matter
from money-making standpoint
rather than from the fine appearance
Of the building.
would take time and study and
plan and then build in such a con.
venient and substantial manner that
you will have no regrets afterward
The cost of good building is forgot
ten long before the quality.
A good convenient building has Q
value on the farm that is difficult to
estimate in dollars and cents but tc
build large. snowy buildings and keer
them in repair creates additional an
nual expense that few farmers car
afford to keep up.
l am often asked IL 1t will pay
to borrow money. to build new barns
and silos. l would say yes for the
man who has the money and ability
to turn them to practical use, but un
less man Is an excellent farmer anG
has the ready money to build accord
ing to hfs ideals, would advise him
to go slow and build only such build
ings as he finds necessary to conduct
his farming operations in an econom
ical manner.

Of farmers, who armed themselves,
and they finally overpowered him.

Brethren Church.

Mr. w. Howard Bishoo of Crystal
City, Tex, is one of colony of Dunk
ards who lately acquired landed prop
erty in the Lone Star State. At the
Eutaw House, where the visitor is

There are four different sects call

call ourselves the Brethren Church.
There is paid ministry and an un-
paid one, and every member has a
right to exhort and take part in the
religious work. Most all Dunkards
own their homes and delight in beau
tifying them. They are for the most
part a farming people, and prefer the
quiet life of the country to the hustle

Pretty Thin.

The tail-of-the-season reform that
Jwept over Coney island might well
have considered the welfare of the
wretched horses which are used for
the "dime-ride" business. When the
season closes they are auctioned off,
and are knocked down to the bidders
at next to nothing. Generally they
are so skeleton like that they are
practically useless.
At the end of this season a buyer
bought an exceptionally attenuated
specimen after he had been coaxed to
bid on him by numerous promises
made by the auctioneer, who wound
up by saying:
Now, look a'here, boss, If you buy
this hawse an you amt pleased with
the animile, you just bring him bach
and get your money-see?"
"Yes." retorted the buyer; but thi.

Paris Hero Meets Trauic Death.

Jean Georges, the Parisian cab dri-
yer who received the legion Of honor
for his heroism at the charity bazaar
fire, on May Is, 1897, when he saved
the lives of Is women, lost his life
by drowning early last month near
Bordeaux. For some years after his
exploit he and his carriage were in
constant demand on the boulevards of
Paris, especially by English and Amer
lean tourists, but the advent of the au-
tomobile ultimately forced him out.
He then came to this country to seek
his fortune, but failed utterly, his re-
turn home being paid for him by pri-
vate subscription. Georges took up
his old trade in Bordeaux after that
and became lost to sight until his
tragic death. which was purely acci

ISLAND DAIRY BRED CATTLE
Fall to Show Superiority Over Amer

We notice a systematic effort on tn

The island breeders have been yer,
Indifferent about keeping we'll authen
ticated records at the pail, and tht
system of advanced registry is practi
cally unknown among them. But one
imported Guernsey bull has yet made {
distinguished record in advanced reg
lstry as against the best of our home
bred bulls.
We are not so familiar with the Jer
sey records. but we do not believe the
American breeders of these cattle
have yet any reason to give way be
fore the prestige of the island type
Facts, well proved facts in perform

that their American bred cattle did moi

others, have exhibited commendablt

 TO 4 DELICIOUS REPAST

George washington's birthday, also the first man in war, but more espe- cially the ladies of the C.. A. R. Re lief Corps, insisted upon entertaining the members of Post Elias Howe last evening to a turkey supper. and as far as the effort of the ladies was concerned the affair was success; in fact all that appertained to last evenings session of the G.. A. R. was a. most pleasing feature. Judge A. B. Beers said a few things that were interesting, and Major Thomas Bou- dren contributed to the flow of soul. This feature of the entertainment was under the supervision of Mrs. Alvin A. Libby, president of the w. R. C., assisted by Mrs William Mix. Mrs. William Disbrow. Hrs. J. w. knowi- ton. Mrs. Henry Gorham and Mrs: Henry Hurd. During the session. of the G. A. R. several entertaining fea- lures were suggested. especially that of the Reverend Comrade A. C.. Thompson. who was enthusiastic in having the stars and stripes placed in the auditorium of all the churches. and 1t was voted to have Comrade Thompson confer with the trustees of all the churches to have Old Glory continuously displayed in their audi toriums.
 Following the session it was an- nounced that the members of the C.. A. R. were invited to attend the ser vices of the Washington Park M. E.. church next Sunday evening, when a special service will be given to the old veterans.
