MAIL CARS ARE ALL STEEL
Now These Must Be Provided by the
Railroads, Says the New Post
office Bill.

The house Of representatives after
an extensive debate adopted a provl-
sion in the postoffice appropriation
bill that after July 1, 1915, all mail
cars used on interstate railroads shall
be of all-steel construction. Many
speeches were made by members on
the necessity of better protection for
the railway mail clerks.
The new provision as to steel cars
does not affect the acceptance of
equipment now under construction or
contracted for under plans approved
by the postmaster general. This was
as far as the postoff1ce committe de-
sired to go, but it was the sense of
the house that a definite time limit as
to the use of wooden cars should be
fixed by congress. Representative
Madden of Illinois offered an amend
ment as to 1916 and 1t was adopted SO
to "a.
The house also adopted a commit
mittee amendment providing that no
wooden mail cars shall be placer
ahead of a steel car in any train.

All cutters are drained to this manure
pit.
The exterior and interior are GOV.
cred with matched sheathing, which
Is stripped with 1x2-inch strips. The
strips are in turn covered with metal
lath, and the lath covered with two
coats Of portland cement. All cell.
except the sheathing is not used
The roof is covered with the best
grade of asbestos felt roofing, which
makes it practically fireproof barn,
The foundation is of native limestone,
for the reason that stone can be Sc
cured on the farm at a very slight
cost.
The silos, set on cement pits four
feet deep, are built with 2x4-inch
studs, set II inches on centers; 5sx6.
inch wooden hoops are bent around
the outside, and are doubled, one be.
tween each door and one in the cen.
ter of each door. The doors are 24x30
inches square, with 12-inch spaces be-
tween. The hoops are covered with
1x2-inch strips, and treated in the
same manner as the walls Of the barn.
The inside walls of the silos are lined
with hard-burned paving brick laid in
a thin cement.
All floors Of the barn are Of cement,
with wood Stats for the horses. The
horses have cast-iron cutters, but the
COWS have both the cutters and the
managers made Of cement, and the
managers so arranged that they may
be flooded with water. The floors are
all trapped with drain traps, and the
entire barn may be washed with a
hose in a short time. The horses are
watered at the cement trough located
north of the east feed room, and the
hogs and sheep are watered with a
hose. The barn loft is supported on
three-inch gas pipe, and all COW stalls
are of wood, with wire guards on top.
This barn is doubtless too large for
many of us, but there are many things
to be learned from 1t.

The stock barn herewith illustrated
was planned for Missouri stockman
writes ]. E. Bridgman in the Orange
Judd Farmer The rather odd shape
was adopted for several reasons:
First, to have all the stock under one
roof; second, to keep each department
separate from the other departments;
third, to reduce to the minimum the
amount of labor required for feeding
the stock; fourth, to save and eco
nomically use every pound of manure
The floor plan of the structure is
34x160 feet from east to west, and
34x134 feet from north to south, and
each 30x65 feet. The walls are 10
feet to the caves, and the roof is self
supporting, which leaves clear
space through the entire loft for
storing hay, etc. All partitions are
eight feet except over the south front,
where they are 10 feet from the feed
rooms to the south front. This is
done to allow for driving In a load
of hay In stormy weather. There are
As COW stalls, three bull stalls, two
hospital stalls and three calf pens.
The horse barn has eight single stalls
and five large box stalls; the sheep
barn has six sheep pens 11x21 feet
each, and two lamb pens; the hog
house has IL pens Skill feet each, also
a feed and killing room 15x29 feet.
The south front has q tool room
engine room and watchmans room.
Stairways are located in both north
and south ends of the barn. The feed
rooms for horses and cows are so ar
ranged that the silage may be dropped
down the small chute in front Of the
silos The door of this chute is al
ways closed, so that no odors may en-
ter the COW barn. A small gas en-
CINE is used for elevating the ground
feed to six hopper-shaped bins, To-
Gated over the feed rooms. The feed
is drawn from the bins through small
spouts as wanted.
Bins for storing feed for hogs and
sheep are located over the sheep and
hog barns. All feed Is handled with
feed carriers, and the tracks run
through all parts of the barn. All
manure and litter is also handled with
carriers, and when not spread at once,
is stored in cement manure house.

p...iI Merchants Protest.

Protest has been made by the retafi
merchants against the commissary
stores in Washington and Annapolis.
The retail merchants say that the gov
eminent sells goods at cost to civilians
as we'll as to its soldiers and sailors. and
that thus Uncle Sam comes into com

whether he is connected with either
the army or navy service, for whoss
