ADVANTAGES OF
CLEAN BARNYARDS.
Good Dairy Conditions Demand
Elimination Of Filth

1t Is impossible with dirty barn
yard to maintain good dairy conditions.
writes A E. vandervort in Hoard's
Dairyman. This is because the barn
yard is used every day, and If it is
contaminated the cows will be contain
mated and the air in the vicinity of
the barn will be contaminated.
No one now thinks of trying to pro-
duce the best of milk without having
a barnyard that is clean. Underdrain-
ing has been resorted to frequently
to give the necessary conditions of
cleanliness.
The clean barnyard does not have
dirty water standing in it. 1t is so
well drained that the water is drawn
off as fast as it comes down in the
form of rain The shorter the period
during which water is in the barnyard
the less plant food will it carry off. be
cause the less time will it have In
which to dissolve the fertilizing ma
terials.
In barnyards on heavy clay the
drains should be laid under the fences
along the side of the barnyard. 9th
erwise the animals tramp the clay hare
over the tile and make it impossible
for the water to get down to the drain
Some farmers are paving their barn
yards with materials that will not be
come muddy when the rain falls
Some use cinders and some coars
gravel In few experimental barn
/ yards cement has been used. but ha
not proved as satisfactory.

Handling Pure Bred stock.

All of the good blood that could be
concentrated IN an animal and all of
the quality that you could buy with
al. of your money In such an animal
would not go very far toward making
you a successful breeder unless you
give that animal better care than
would be expected for scrub. Pure
blood. pedigree. quality and breeding
are all the results in very large
measure of feed and care. and they
mean absolutely nothing except that
animals possessing them will respond
to feed and care better than those
which do not and that their progeny
will do the same thing. Don't touch
pure bred animal unless you are pre-
pared to give him pure bred care.

For the Hard Mouthsd Horse.

Here Is something Of practical value
to any one driving horse that pulls
ON the bit. Fasten a small ring to
each side of the bride and as near the
brow band as possible. Pass lines
through bit rings and snap them into
rings at brow band. This with a com

Mosque Which Is Alleged TO Contain
the Tomb Of Jonah Visited by s
Many Pilgrims.

The site Of Nineveh is almost per-
factly level. But adjoining the west
ern wall are two huge mounds conceal
ing the palaces of the greatest kings
OF Assyria. The lower or southern
mound is occupied by a mosque and a
village Of considerable Size. Its name
is Nebi Yunus, or the Prophet Jonah,
for in the mosque is the tomb In W hich
Jonah Is said to have been buried.
The age OF the tomb is uncertain, yet
probably it dates from long after the
Hebrew prophets time. However. the
place is now sacred, so sacred that
pilgrims visit 1t from afar. y

a cloth-covered mound is scarcely dis

even, will enter the inner shrine. ~.

REWARD OF AMBITION
Polish Writer Tells Of Emotion Pro-
duced BY Sight Of and Contact With

Joseph Conrad has told in his book,
"a personal Record" how he happen

Is perhaps not SO well known is how
he, Polish aristocrat, entered the
British marine. From his fifteenth
year, though he had not six words
of the language in which he after
wards wrote Nostromo" and The
Mirror Of the Sea-" his ambition was
to be. an English seaman. After much
opposition he began to see his way
clear, and he has recorded his emotion
when his hand first touched an Eng.
likh ship. There are Strips he says,
IT have known well by sight whose
name I have forgotten; but the name
OF that ship seen once SO many years
ago in the clear flush Of a cold, pale

ments, by making rows Of stitching
as shown in Fig. l. Tapes should be
stitched to the flap and pocket front
Of the large pocket, so they may be
tied to keep the pocket shut. Small
pockets to hold small articles may be
made by sewing pieces Of canvas to
the sides Of the knapsack, inside. A
doubled tape with three or four but
ton-holes worked in 1t should be
stitched to the end of the flap of the
knapsack, and a button sewed to the
under side Of the bottom of the KNAPP
sack to button it onto Zig. ~.
Fig. 2 shows the shoulder straps.
These, may be made out of strips Of
canvas: doubled, and stitched along
both edges to make them firm. Cut
them about 2 inches wide and 80
inches long, and stitch them at their
centers to the back Of the knapsack,
in the positions shown in Fig. 2. The
sewing Of these straps should be re-
enforced with four or five rows Of
cross stitching to make a very strong
Job. The ends Of the tapes can be
sewed together-when you have deter
mined the proper length to reach over
your shoulders and down under your
arms; or they may be tied as shown,
SO they can be readjusted at any time
to fit over heavy clothing.
!, Fig. 4 shows a small canvas dufie
bag, such as is generally 'used for
carrying small things in. The regu-
lar army knapsacks are usually pro-
vided with four of these little sacks.
measuring between 3 and S inches
wide and about S inches deep. To
make one, take a piece Of light weight
canvas or, drilling, of twice the width
desired for the finished bag. and stitch
along one side and across the bottom;
then make a hem across the top for
a draw string, for which piece Of
heavy cord, knotted at the ends,
should be used. Sheaths for knives
should be made as shown in Fig. 5,
out of leather. or pieces Of heav,. >an.

HOW 10 MAKE IA SCOUT KNAPP
/ 8;5 SACK. II

One OF the finest achievements Of
the Boy Scout movement is the In.
terest it has awakened in hikes to
the fields and woods among city boys
who have spent most OF their lives sur
rounded by paved streets, with little
or no opportunity Of visiting natures
workshops. rs.
The best !. hikes usually require q
days time, SO the lunch proposition
must be taken care Of or the mixers
will be pretty we'll starved out before
the tramp is over. OF course q boy
can't carry bag Of lunch in his hand,
for he needs both hands. for other
purposes, and a coat pocket Is too
full OF other things to permit of
.crowding it In, Therefore, food must
be packed In some other way, and
the best scheme Is to have a regu-
lar knapsack that can be strapped
upon: the back army fashion in which.
to carry 1t. A knapsack Is not diff
cult to make, as you will see by the
Illustrations, and If you can get your
mother or sister to do the, sewing
on the sewing machine, that will be
the biggest part OF the job. Any
handy boy will not find the sewing diff
J ficult to do himself. however. s
A brown or white canvas. khaki or
denim should be used for the material.

all Of the necessary dimensions given.
The dotted lines indicate where the
cloth is to be folded. In cutting the
cloth about one-f fourth inch should be
allowed all around for the making Of
seams. All ssewing must be done with
very stout linen thread, and to pre-
vent the fraying Of edges it Is best
to bind them with tape or braid. The

The best time to cut alfalfa is when

times it 10 even practical to cut the

SO it is necessary for the grower to,
exercise judicious planning to utilize
his time to the best advantage.
1t is good plan to start the
mower as soon as the dew Is on IN
the morning and the prospects seem
good for two or three days Of con-
tinued good weather. This hay
should be tedded in the swath in the
afternoon, so that it will dry out UNI

good. in fact, the ideal machine to;

PAINTING for Jurors.

& The other day the jury Of the Seine
district, Paris, addressed q request,
such as only a French jury could
make, to the chancellory. To beguile
the tediousness of the long examina-
tons and pleadings the jurors asked
that above the seats Of the judges.
on the walls OF the room. should be
placed a copy Of Prudhon's great
painting, Justice Pursuing Crime"
Phis picture was painted a century
ago to ornament the hall Of the court
OF assize. After Napoleon, under the
restoration, the picture was consid.
cred too dramatic and was replaced
by a crucifx. When the republic, an
enemy of religious emblems. came,
the crucifix was ordered away and in
its place was nothing but tinted wall
paper. The keeper of the seals did
not refuse the request of the jurors
and placed before them the painting
which, it is hoped, may happily in
spire them to do justice.
