This car is now completing a most
successful tour through the state of
Illinois, some forty-five towns hav-

of 1000 to 5000 people daily.
Everywhere most fattering COM
ments were heard regarding the ap-
parent agricultural possibilities of
Minnesota, the greatest interest of
the Illinois farmer being centered in
the corn and vegetable exhibit of the
car. Many who had already de-
cided to locate in other sections of
the country, the south and the far
west having the preference, were
made converts to the land of large
grain Embellishments.
Minnesota also came IN for her
share Of interest at the United States

would have even larger crowd than
the one present this evening"

TELLS ABOUT DAIRY BARN
]. F. Collins, Manager Of Schroeder
Farm, Writes Letter.

J. F. Collins, who is in charge of
W. G. Schroeder's dairy farm, a few
miles west of Bemidji, tells how the
barn is constructed:
1T may be that the readers of this
paper will be interested in knowing
how our barn here, on Alfalfa Dairy
Farm, in Northern Minnesota, is ar
ranged. 1t is 112 feet long by 80 feet
wide. We have two rows of COW
stanchions, divided into two sections
each. One section is for twelve COWS
and the other for eleven; these are
on each side of the barn.
s:At one end, on one side> we have
bull pen, calf pen and two feed
bins. On the opposite side, in the
same end, there is room for six
horses and small harness room.
eve allow a width of three feet for
each COW, using no partitions. The
COW rows face each other. There is
four-foot, six-inch wall behind the
gutter, which is fourteen inches
deep. The platform is four feet, ten
inches, with one-inch slope to gut
ter.
''There is a water trough six inches
wide by four inches deep, right in
front of the feed manger whera the
COWS can easily reach the water. The
alley between the COWS is four feet,
six inches wide. We use the swinging
stanchion and were able to get a
good one at about $500 each. Our
floors are all cement.
1--WE have litter and feed carriers,
Tor winch we use SOl1Q- tracks IN the
barn and rod tracks outside. Our in
side track is 800 feet and the one
outside 80 feet. The outfit cost
about $12500 If one wanted to use
the rod track it would be much
cheaper, but think it pays to have
the solid track inside as it does not
sag. We are now putting in milk
can carrier, to carry the milk from
the barn to the milk house, 200 feet
away. This is costing about $4,000
and will be rcd track.
ANY intelligent man can install
these carriers and they certainly ay
for one man can do more chores
when using them, than two can with
out them. I hope this may be of
interest to some fellow farmer

there was no mating of minds, and
hence no marriage.

custom of giving drink at fairs, wakes
and funerals.
The bishop says treating at fairs is
most prolific source of drunkenness.
and the practice of giving drink at
wakes and funerals is SO inconsistent
with the proper idea of how the bodies
and resting places of the dead should
be respected that he marvels that the
practice has survived SO long.

Elk SOCIETY WOMAN
IN WILD WEST SHOW

New York, May 6.-Through an acci-
dent during the performance Of tho
"101 Ranch show last night It be-
came known that Jane Howard, who
rode a c0al-black horse in the strik-
ing quadrille. was no other than Mrs.
W. e. Woodend, once the star Of
the horse show crowds, the most dar-
ing horsewoman and social light, who
for years was a familiar figure on tho
bride paths OF Central park. Het
horse slipped and fell AZ sne was go
ing through the quadrille to the mu-
sic Of band and her ankle was
sprained.
Her husband, DR.. Wo0dend, wa1
well known in Wall Street as broker.
His firm finally failed. Both Dr. Wood
end and his wife frequently were seen
on the tanbark arena Of Madison
Square Garden in the old days Of the
horse show. Dr. WoOdend had a mag.
|nificent string Of horses and Ut one of
the Garden shows there were no less
than thirty-six entries in the name Of
the doctor and his wife, their thor
Oughbreds, horses Of other classes. y0
Ihicles and trappings representing an
investment Of $4,000.
Mrs. Woodend travelled with the
show in special car, accompanied BY
her maid and her husband. She onlr
appeared in the quadrille and at the
end or the ring where she was least
conspicuous. She will probably not
ride any more, for when the manager
