for injured Feelings at
eathhouse.

Albany, NJ Y.-The court Of ap-
peals has decided that woman who
is elected from Coney Island bath
ing establishment after she has paid
the price Of admission Is entitled to
recover damages for the indignity and
wounded feelings suffered by her
when she was elected. The court &C
cordingly afirms verdict Of $3.50 In
a suit brought by Ada s. Aaron
against William j. Ward.
The opinion in the case. written by
Chief Justice Cullen. states that the
plaintiff, intending to take bath in
the surf. bought a ticket from the de-
fendant's employee for Is cents. and
took her position in line Of the de-
PENDANTS patrons leading to win
dow at which the ticket entitled her
to receive key to bathhouse.
When she approached the window a
dispute arose between her and the
defendants employees as to the right
Of another person not in the line to
have a ticket given to him in ad-
vance OF her. AS a result the plaintiff
was elected from the premises. and
the defendants agents refused to fur.
nish her with the accommodations to
which she was entitled by her ticket.
Upon the trial the defendant con-
tended that the plaintiff was not en-
titled to recover more than the price
Of her ticket. and 1t Is this question
that is considered by the court of
appeals. The plaintiff sued for
breach Of contract and the defendant
insisted on that ground that she was

Much is said about scales on the

the one that hangs up behind the cows

The tight, unventilated barn may
be little warmer than one that is
properly taken care of, but it is also
a whole lot more damp and dangerous

dry them OF before freshening. This
should be done. however. for every

KEEPING BARN YARDS CLEAN

Ry B. J. LYON.) /.
It has always been q source OF great
wonder to me how any dairyman can
expect I'd produce good milk when his
cows are compelled to wade through
mud and filth in the barn yard.
Isl Even II the barn itself is scrupu-
lously which 1t cannot be If the
yards are muddy-the odor arising
from the filthy barn yard will Offset all
the efforts made to keep the milk
clean when it comes from the cows.
There is no one solution to fit all
barn yards. Each must be treated by
itself and to meet the conditions ex-
listing in it. II the yard is situated on
gentle slope, all that will be needed
is tile drainage. placed about six feet
apart Tile will keep any barn yard
perfectly dry, but II there is only an
occasional low place In the yard the
thing need not be placed SO close to-
gether.
In some yards great deal OF
broken rock. gravel and coal Scinders
are necessary to keep the ground in
good condition. II the ground il a
black heavy soil It may be kept rea-
sonably dry by covering 1t with these
materials. The first thing to be done
is to remove the top soil to depth Of
at least six inches. then cover the
ground with the largest broken rock.
This may be in pieces Of from two to
five inches in diameter. Large pebbles
are excellent for this purpose as they
allow the water to drain perfectly
from the surface.
Thu, layer OF large rocks or stone
should be thoroughly tamped down
with a heavy tamping iron or rolled

smaller and the third very fine
crushed stone. The last layer may be
mixed with cinders which make hard
surface and If 1t is properly leveled
