This has been progressive week in
st. Paul and two factions Of the new
organization have been rubbing shout
ders in the Capitol City. First it was
the Minnesota Republican Progress
sive league, with George Lotus of
Minneapolis as the dominating figure,
and it had no more than completed
it's labors than the Northwestern Pro
gressives, with Hugh T. Halbert of
ST. Paul, made bid for public favor.
Each finished it's deliberations with
monster banquet. Strange TO say
there was no clash except that each
claimed to represent the only true
progressive principles. Roosevelt and
La Toilette was the issue and the
battle was draw. Senator Bever-
idge of Indiana handled the Roose-
Welt battlecry, while Lotus did the
La Toilette act for the Minnesota
Republican Progressive league. He
had heard of Colonel Roosevelt, but
that was all. On the other hand the
Northwestern Progressives had q
ringing message from the colonel
and it bristled with war talk.

Whatever one may think of the
rival efforts for recognition In pub
lie way of those now engaged in put
ting the old parties out of business
under the guise of a new religion,
ridicule has to be forgotten when it
comes to comment regarding the gath.
erings which these self-appointed lead
ers seem to be able to compel when.
ever the progressive call is sent out.
The two progressive conferences held
in st. Paul last week we're earnest
bodies. There was no buncombe about
them. Many of those In attendance
came from long distance and they
paid their own expenses. The de-
alterations throughout were along
lines for the common good In the
old day when there was a political
gathering Of this kind the bar was
heavily patronized. When the two or
CARNATIONS named met at the Mer.
chants hotel the barroom was the most
lonesome department in the big hos
telry 1t was a temperate body
throughout.

Though strong opposition will be
made by the old guard the chances are
fairly good for recognition by the
present legislature of the Progressives
as a party. A bill giving them a legal
standing has been offered in the sen
ate by Ole Sageng of Otter Tail coun.
ty and he predicts its passage, The
bill was drafted by the Progressive
legislative committee. Under the pres
ent law new party must have partici
pated in two elections to get q legal
standing. The proposed bill gives
recognition to any party participating
in previous election when the vote
cast for any of its candidates is q Del
cent OF the total vote cast for govern
or. In the recent election the Progress
sives cast aboutr9 per cent of the to
tai vote.

Ground floor Of model dairy barn.

Il like the two-story barn because
TT allows a big. roomy NOW for hay.
But the floor Of the NOW must be
tight. Some Of the best dairy barns
are one-story, for the reason that
chaff and dust sift through the floor
of the loft into the milking room. But
two-story barn can be made just as
sanitary provided tight floor is made
in the loft and the rafters sealed with
match ceiling underneath. A tight
ceiling and floor can usually be made
cheaper than an extra barn for storing
hay.
Ventilation In a dairy barn is i'm.
l.portant. The King system is the most
perfect in use today. That's the sys-
TEN we have in our new barn. The
principle Of It is 10 have outlets near
the floor of the barn for foul air. The
inlets for fresh air should be near the
ceiling. The outlets and inlets are so
arranged thar there is no drought over
the cows.
THE managers We have in our barn
are what are called continuous man.
gers-one long Manager for each row
OF COWS. These should be about two
inches higher than the stall floor and
need to be only few inches deep. BY
having this kind Of Manager 1t Is
cleaned easily and in few minutes.
TO keep the COWS from robbing one
another OF their food we have partl-
tions for every one. These partitions
are OF sheet iron and joined together
so they can be raised when the man.
ger is to be cleaned.
"The silo should be built at one
end OF the feedway, outside the barn,
and a feed room located at the other
end. Tho eightioot feedway gives
room for a silage and feed cart.
THE box stall and bull pen may
each be 1lxS feet; the feed room Tx
~ feet; the milk room 11x10 feet and
the calf pen 1lx1s feet. A thresangle
roof gives much more room for stor.
age OF hay. At one end Of the loft q
hay fork should be built In. The illus
tratlons show the general construction
OF the barn."

have sufficient light when facing one
another. | prefer to have the cows
face the feed alley. because 1t will re.
Quire less work to feed. Hay, silage
and grain are all handled separately,
whereas the manure is handled in one
contaiper.
"The barn can be kept much more
sanitary by making the floor Of
cement. Where plenty Of bedding Is
used there will be no bad results from
hard or cold floors. The cement should
be finished rough, SO that the cows
will not slip on It. Cutters may be
four to six inches at the high end and
ten to twelve at the low end. Swing
ing stanchions are much better than
the rigid kind. The COW can get q
great deal more comfort In a swinging
stanchion.

the conditions of early summer when
the cows are at their best. OF course
that's not easy to do. But you can
give the cows the sunlight, fresh ali
and freedom of movement that they
get outside. And those are the most
important requirements Of a modern
dairy barn.
Il like to have just as many win
dows in a dairy barn as / can get"
said Mr.. Reed. TITS the one thing
that viii keep the barn sanitary. Sun
shine drives out the dampness and
leaves no place for bacteria to thrive.

the convenience OF your barn. too. A
rectangular barn should stand prefer
ably north and south. making 1t pos
sIble TO get sunlight on beth sides at
some time during the day.
"A barn large enough for the herd
mentioned should be about 30X66 feet
The length will vary according to the
size OF the stalls. For Holsieins stalls
should be three and one.half feet wide,
but for Jerseys three feet is wide
enough. The size also depends on
whether you desire small milk room
and a bull pen In the barn. With
these added and allowing also for a
box stall and q pen for calves, the
length should be about sixty-slx feet
for twenty Jerseys.
"The barn being thirty feet wide
would permit of the COWS facing one
another with an eight-foot feedway be-
tween the two rows OF stalls. The
managers should he two feet wide;
platforms for stalls four and one.half
feet; cutters eighteen inches and
passageway back OF the COWS three
feet wide. Some prefer to have the
cows face out, giving for the reason
that they will have more light and
also that the manure cutters win be
in the center and the manure can be
handled more easily. II the barn is

pEHoRN THE CALVES EARLY.
The best way to delorn a calf Is to
prevent the growth OF horns. before
they get a start, by the use OF little
caustic potash. The operation should
be performed when the calf Is from
one to three weeks old, or as soon as
the button OF the horn can be distinct
ly felt when rubbing the hand over
the poll.
The only articles necessary are a
sharp pair OF shears or clippers and
a few sticks OF caustic potash and a
little water. Back the calf into cor
ner, or into any narrow place. and
put &c head between your legs. hold
ing It firmly. Find the out.groNing

|S PATRIOTISM
 MATTER CHOICE
Salt Lake City School Board Dis- agreed on Question of Sohoi-
 ars Salutins tho Flag.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 6.-Wheth- CT or not children of the public schools here shall be compelled to salute the flag has caused a break in the ranks of the Board of Education, and the board ad- journed Saturday night after a three hours session without talk ing action.
 Several members of the board insisted that the school children should be compelled to salute the flag and that their willingness and the spirit displayed in such ceremonies should be credited to their regular school work. Other members take the stand that it is impossible to induce patriotism in children by compulsion and want to make the ceremony of saluting the flag optional with the children.
 The dispute arose after Lena Eyler, 13-year-old girl, had been suspended from school be- cause she refused to salute the flag.

CUTTER UNALGA
 IS UNREPORTED
Whom last Heard From Was In
 Turkish Wators--Arrival is Delayed.

The United States revenue cut ter Unalga, destined for a sta- tion in Alaskan waters, is stii: unreported. At last r;ports the Unalga was at Constantinop!c, having been ordered thcre by the government. The Unaisa may not reach here until next spring.
 The Unalga was builS by the Newport News Shipbuilding com- kany and was launched February 10, last year. She is 19O feet long, 32.6 feet beam and 17.6 feet deep, with a mean load displace- ment of 1,O50 tons. The maxi mum speed of the new vessel is 13 l-2 knots.
 All of the usual auxiliaries for vessels of her class are fitted, in cluding powerful fire and wreck ing pump with the necessary hose TOT pumping out other vessels III case of necessity. Her electrical installation includes two dynamos electric signaling apparatus, wireless telegraphy and power full searchlight. The coal capac- ity of 250 tons and water supply of 15,00O gallons will be suffi- cient to enable the vessel to re- main at sea for a long time.
 In order to be of assistance to wrecked vessels a powerful wrecking pump has been install led and furnished with sufficient suction hose to enable the new craft to pump out leaking ves- sells, the same pump to be utiliz- ed for fire purposes. The Unalga is equipped with six small boats, including a surf boat and a high power launch, as much of her work in Alaskan waters must be accomplished by means of small boats. She has crew of sev- enty-five men.
