PRACTICAL BARN FOR DAIRY
Diagram Given Herewith Shows How
Wisconsin Man Solved Problem of
Modern Building.

The accompanying diagram shows
how a Wisconsin dairyman solved the
problem of building a modern dairy
barn at low cost, says the Prairie Far
mer. This dairyman was also con-
fronted with the problem of construct
ing a barn on short notice as he had
moved to a newly purchased farm
which afforded but mere excuse of
a dairy barn. Accordingly he made
his barn in the shape Of a lean-to on
two sides of an old but well built barn.

fine BREAKFAST DISH
MOST APPETIzING WAY OF PRE-.
PAIRING sAUsAGEs.
Cooked In Methods Described, Any
Lover Of These Detachable Nor
sells May Partake of Them
With Enjoyment.

In vain does the cry Of Socrates
come to us, down the ages-"Beware
OF foods that persuade you to eat
though not hungry. and of liquors that
prevail with you to drink though not
thirsty"
breakfast of sausages. wheat
cakes and fragrant coffee is all that
is needed to make us forget the hen
pecked sage's warning.
Here are ways of cooking sausages
so all lovers of the delectable morsels
may eat them safely:
Instead of frying sausages, put them
to cook in enough boiling water to al
most cover. Add no fat. Simmer
gently until the water is evaporated.
Enough grease will now be rendered
from the meat to fry them. and the
casing will be unbroken. Lift the
links from the frying pan and roll in
-four. Fry until the coating is crisp
and brown.
The flour prevents the sausages
from breaking open and does ont al
low the rendered grease to be reab-
sorbed. II a little ground sage be
mixed with the -four. the flavor will
be improved.
The new method Of paper-bag cook
cry is excellent for cooking sausage
cakes. Shape the cakes. place In bags.
press out the air, and cook In hot oven
fifteen minutes. Open the bottom OF
tho bag and drain out the fat from the
pork. Serve on hot platter.
Broiled sausages with rice give a
well-balanced dish for wintry days
breakfast. Place small link sausages
on the broiler with dripping pan be-
meath. broil slowly, and serve around
a mound of creamed rice.
Sausages with baked creamed pota-
toes-To every pound OF bulk sau-
sage meat add an ounce Of ground
mived herbs. A good mixture to make
and keep on hand for such season as
this is two ounces OF ground sage, a
fourth of an ounce OF cayenne pepper
one ounce Of thyme, one ounce of ma
joram, and one of celery salt. Shape
into cakes and fry for five minutes
FIJI baking dish with diced potatoes
cover with cream, lay the sausage
cakes on top. and bake in hot oven
fifteen minutes. or until the cream is
absorbed and the meat a good color
Where sausage is liked but cannot
be eaten on account of its richness
1t may be made at home and mixed
with lean beef or veal in the proper
ton most approved. Two parts lear
meat to one part pork will give a mix
ture in which the pork flavor will still
predominant.
Homemade sausage is much in ia
vor, since the commercial product al
contains filler" presumably some
cereal or stale bread. The food-chop
per now found In every kitchen doe,
the grinding as we'll as the butcher
and the particular housekeeper hal
the satisfaction Of knowing just wha
the ingredients Of the sausage are.

Palatability is an important feature
of good dairy rations.
Facilities for handling milk are Civ.
ing an impetus to the market.
Don't let the cows out in the storms
to stand around. 1t doesn't pay.
1t is rather a difficult task to dry
up COW when in full flow of milk.
If COW has a habit of side-stepping
while milking, examine your finger
nails.
A cow producing average testing
milk should yield from 1000 to 8,OOU
pounds of milk in year.
Gentleness and parIence with the
heifer that has calved for the first
time will win out every time.
Just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she
has been given previous to calving.
To feed cows profitably without
some home grown sort Of protein, such
as the leguminous hays, is difficult.
Sweet corn is one of the very best
crops to grow TO feed as soiling
crop to the dairy cows in summer.
1t is best to reduce the milk pro
ducing food, so that mature COW will
dry and rest for a month to six weeks
before calving.
Be good to the cows. These most
useful animals are safe investment
They do not go of into fence corner
and die of cholera.
Successful dairying is largely mat
ter Of securing cheap feed, as we'll al
good COWS. The silo is one method Of
economizing on feed.

I'D Barn
Practical Dairy Barn.

The dotted lines in the diagram show
the partition between the old barn and
the lean-to. By doing this a consid-
cradle saving in building material was
effected as well as time saved in con-

The usual dimensions were followed
in the construction of the stalls and
alleys. By making the lean-to on the
east and south sides of the barn sun
light entered all parts of it some time
of the day. Ventilation was provided
by Ringing the windows at the bottom
and providing out-takes. one at each
end and one where the additions
meet.

POPULAR ISSUES
IN PER|L-BOURNE
Senator Appeals to People to
Prevent EmaSCuIating Initia-
tive and Referendum.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2.-Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president of the
National Progressive league. today is
sued an appeal to popular government
advocates to guard against the emas-
culation of the initiative and referen-
dun. He said
Three general expedients are re-
sorted to to defeat the initiative and
referendum-frst, by making the re-
CURED percentage Of petitioners so high
s practically to prevent the filing of
petitions for either the initiative or ref
endum; second, by exempting from the
referendum all measures that bear the
mere declaration of the legislature that
an emergency exists; third, by requlr-
ing that measures submitted to the
vote of the people under the initiative
shall not become effective until ratified
by an affirmative vote of all the votes
cast at the election.
Experience has demonstrated that
the initiative and referendum powers
are practically nulHfied' II the number
OF required signers to petitions be ma
tertaly greater than ten per cent for
the initiative or five per cent for the
referendum Experience also shows
that some of the most meritorious
measures that have been adopted under
the initiative would have failed of
adoption If the constitution had re-
quired an affirmative atority of all the
votes cast at the election. Each meas
ure should stand or fall according to
the majority of votes cast thereon.
'In the campaign which is now pro-
ceeding in many states for the election
of state legislators, who viii be called
upon to vote for the submission of ini
tiattve and referendum amendments, the
friends of popular government should
not be deceived, but should insist on
the submission of such amendments in
practical form"
