10 Necessary.

Separate Building For Handling Milk
10 Necessary.
In every case where considerable
portion Of the farm income is derived
from the sale of dairy products a build
ing should be provided to be devoted
exclusively to their care
The essential features which should
be retained in any plan are a room
just large enough for the actual needs:
a floor, wall and ceiling which can be
easily, quickly and thoroughly cleaned;
a good drain to carry away waste wa
ter; a suitable method for heating the
house in cold weather; plenty Of light
and ventilation; convenient arrange
ments for washing. scalding and dry
ing dairy utensils. and good tank and
water supply for cooling the milk or
cream. This building or dairy house
should be convenient to but entirely
separate from the barn where the
milking is done.
In case special dairy house cannot
be provided the milk or cream should
be handled and stored in clean, light
and well ventilated place, free from
strong odors Of any kind.-From Bulle-

HIRED MAN LAW.

Controversies about wages frequent.
ly arise between farmers and their
hired men when the latter are dis
charged or quit work before the expi-
ration of the time for which they were
employed. Sometimes a man who Is
hired to do certain specified work or
work for a certain period Of time for
fixed wages quits his job without
good and sufficient reasons. and the
question then arises what compensa-
ton. If any. he can recover by law
from his employer for the work he
has actually done. There is some con-
fict of authority in the decisions OF
the courts upon this subject. but the
weight of authority Is to the effect
that in such case the hired man can
recover the value Of the services
which he actually rendered. deducting
from this amount any damages which
his employer has sustained by reason
of his failure to complete the serv-
ices which he was hired to perform.
Sick,,.~s or death Of an employee II
60, / t., the law to be the act
of 49, constitutes good excuse
for st..ia! ar even for nOnperfOrmance
Of contract for personal services An
employee who is prevented by sickness
from completing services according to
his contract can recover the actual
value of the services which be has
performed under the contract, and II

vented by his death his executor Or
administrator can recover the value
Of the services actually performed ~

WATER ALWAYS NECESSARY,

WATER ALWAYS NECESSARY.
During the winter season Of
the year many farm animals do
not receive as much water as
they really need to give the best
results. says the Kansas Farm
er. This is especially true of
hogs. In cold weather. when all
water left in troughs or other
receptacles is likely to freeze.
the animals do not have the OBJ
portunity to drink as much as
they otherwise would.
Professor DIETRICH. formerly OF
the Illinois Agricultural college,
found in conducting a series Of
experiments in feeding swine
that sufficient amount Of wa
ter is a very important consider
alton In securing the largest re-
turns from the feed consumed
by hogs. He found that often
times In securing the best re-
suits in the feeding Of hogs It
was necessary to encourage the
consummatiOn OF the proper
amount Of water by supplying
some Of the food in liquid form.
Those who are feeding hogs
through the winter season should
bear in mind that the supplying
OF source of pure. clean water
at the proper temperature Is OF
the greatest Importance. Per-
haps In many cases 1t will be
desirable to supply part Of the
water in the form of warm slop
feeds. A feed cooker for the
cooking Of feeds has little eco
nomic Importance. but such
device may be very useful in
supplying warm liquid feeds
during the cold season Of the
year.

eggs should be selected that are Of
good size and normal shape and Of
uniform size and color He suggests
that eggs Of different color white and
brown, should be kept separate. as the
brown eggs hatch about twenty-four
hours later than white eggs. Other
things being equal. the larger egg will

IOWA FALLS TO
HAVE 100000 SCHOOL

Iowa Falls, July 23.-One of the
striking examples Of the consolidated
rural school is to be seen at New Pro-
violence in this county, where a fine
$50 900 high school building is being
erected. It Is three stories with the
basement and is built of brown brick.
1t will be modern in every detail and
afford the consolidated schools the
best of accommodations. The cost Of
the grounds for this new Improvement
was $1,000, the balance Of the 100000
going into the building and it's equip
ment.
This is the first application Of the
consolidated rural school movement In
this county and the new building and
it's equipment will supercede the little
district school house with one teacher
instructing several grades and afford
ing the country pupil the same ad-
vantages found in cities in several
thousand population.
