An Iowa Sheep Barn.

We built a sheep barn in 1905. 1t
is 60x8O feet, standing north and
south. The doors are all at the ENDS.
The feedracks divide the lower fl )or,
all of which is used for the sheep,
into four spaces about twelve feet
wide IT the clear. There are doors nine
feet wide at each end of each space
10 allow driving through with a ma
nure spreader. The end section of
each feedrack is left out so that the
sheep may pass freely to any part of
the barn, writes Lee Colony Of John
son county, Ia, in the Breeders Ga
zette. The hay is stored over the cen
trail portion of the barn. The haymow
Is 80 feet wide, leaving a space of Is
feet on each side where no hay is
stored. Hay is taken in at each end of
the barn. Large gates are fastened by
hooks to the posts at the side Of the
NOW, then, in feeding, the gates are
moved a little away from the hay,
which makes it possible to throw the
hay directly into the racks below all
along each side of the NOW. The hay
has to be carried to the ends Of the
feed alley.
The feed racks are constructed of
boards IL inches wide placed hori-
zontally. The lower portion is feet
wide and one board high The next
board is set in inches and raised up
or inches to leave a space for the
sheep to reach the hay. The upper
part is sloped outwardly. The feed
troughs are a unique feature. They
are 6 inches wide and 2 inches deep
inside. They are made of 1-foot
boards. They are not fastened rigidly
to anything, but are made to raise and
lower Each trough is 70 feet or so
feet long. Those on the hayracks are
made right in the line of parts; that
is, the bottom of the trough is cut out
where the post goes through and the
sides of the trough pass up and down
on each side of the post. Then al
oh post a small rope is fastened to

Generally speaking, cheap contrap

In preparing such hives however
one should see to it that spacing Is
kept right and nothing but standard
frames should be used. Then when

truth-it looks like 1860. When the
first troops that came hurrying to
Washington to end the war in ninety
days marched down Pennsylvania ave-
nue., they looked upon the same build
ings that stand there today. The
same pair OF blue overalls that flap in
the breeze today in front of a second
hand clothing store hard by the cap
itol, waved a welcome to them as
they swung gaily by on their way to
see what the fuss was all about down
in Virginia. The writer has ascer-
tanned that the same fresh roasted
peanuts that are exposed for sale to-
day anywhere along the avenue from
the treasury to the capitol were on
the market then. The same peanut
politicians-but that's another story.
Nothing on Pennsylvania avenue
ever changes. 1t is true that back in
1880 a merchant painted the front OF
his store. Feeling ran high against
him. but he averted trouble by leav-
ing town. Time has dealt kindly with
the building, however, and its shame
IS hidden now by the passage OF thirty
effacing years. The avenue never
mentions the incident, and has tried
to forget it by throwing over the
huildine q mantle of charity and dust.
The hotels and restaurants and bars
that line the avenue preserve intact
all the traditions of the '40s, sos and
COS The price of whisky has not
changed on the avenue since Jackson
was president. Anyone can verify that
nv consulting some of the unpaid bills
Of the statesmen Of that generation
that are kept in the safe at Shoe
makers. Harvey's oysters and Han
cocks chicken fries have not changed.
Hancock gets his Maryland chickens
from the same place in Virginia that
ha got them before the war, and they
are cooked by the same Maryland
cook from Pennsylvania. Harvey's
has lost some prestige by putting IN
new table cloths and hiring lot OF
Young walters who can't remember
anv further back than the Missouri
COMPROMISE But the place retains
much of it's old time charm and all OF

MR.. LLEWELLYN'S VIEWS.
Mexico Man Is Interviewed in
Washington City.

The Washington Cd CO. Post
a few days ago contained the
following:
Henry d. Llewellyn of Mex
leo. Mo-, expressed the belief
that speaker Clark will in time
change his address to 1000
Pennsylvania Avenue. He
said at the Willard; Former
Governor Folk, will, | believe,
Withdraw from the field and
throw his support to Mr.. Clark
in the presidential race. Things
have changed SO greatly III the
last few mo,ths that Mr.. Clark
has become the logical candl-
date of his party, and certainly
no one can see this better than
Mr.. Folk. He is the last man
in the world to stand in the way
of Mr.. Clark, who helped HIM
(Folk) at the critical time IN
his career. No one can deny
that Mr.. Folk is possessed OF a
sense of gratitude.
Folks own future depends
on his doing the graceful thing
now; his own nomination is not
possible, but his withdrawal
will bring him an intense pOpu-
larity with the Missouri Demo
Gratis, who are greatly aroused
over Mr.. Clark's bright chance
for the presidency, and are
ready to back him to the last
man in the last ditch.
1.-The Clark sentiment in the
West is overwhelming, and ]

New York is veritable hotbed
Of Clark Strength. The New
Workers don't think Harmon
could be elected, with the Bry'
