| The foundation of this monitor-roof
dairy barn is of concrete, the walls
| having footings wide enough to make
them solid and deep enough to reach
down to solid ground. These walls
extend up two feet above grade. A
profile of the dairy floor conforms to
the most approved plan worked out by
practical dairymen.
The concrete standing floor has a
fall of one inch between the front and
hind feet of the cows. This is to ia
cilitate drainage and for easy clean
ing. The managers are two feet in
width, they are six inches deep at the
back and IL inches deep at the front or
feed-alley side. The standing floor
measures four feet ten inches from the
back of the manager to the gutter. The
gutter is IS inches wide and drops six
inches below the standing floor. The
feed alley in the center is about seven
feet in width and the alleys behind
the cows are five feet six inches wide.
The side alleys slope with a fall OF
one inch towards the gutter. This
makes a stable floor that is perma-
nent and satisfactory.
The roof may be supported in two
ways 1t may be made self-supporting
so there will be no posts in the way.
This is done by running the rafters
from the caves clear through to the
monitor plates. They are crossed and
bolted at the crossings, and the whole
roof structure is made into a trussed
roof by ties reaching across the build
ing from one side plate to the other
side plate. All monitor studding
reaches down and is bolted to these
cross ties and to the rafters, thus
forming a very strong truss.
The other plan supports the monitor
or posts long enough to reach
from the rear wall of the concrete
to the monitor plates. 1t is
customary to place these posts two
COWS apart, and the monitor windows
are the same width as the COW stalls.
This arrangement provides one mon
tor window for each two cows.
The cow stalls may be two feet ten
inches between stall partitions, or
they may be three feet two inches, &C.
cording to the size of the cows the
stable is intended for.
Generally there is no ceiling in a
COW stable, for the rea-

1t is mistake for the inexperienced
man to undertake the feeding of hogs
unless he expects to make study of
1t and improve upon the mistakes he
is sure to make at first.
1t is a mistake for the city farmer
living in town to trust his hogs to the
average man. He is not likely to
make a success of it.
1t is mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kind of feed to give them? What
kind of feed can be produced on your
farm in your locality? Give them
plenty of that in variety. These feeds
should be given in such relation to
each other as to meet the varied needs
of the swine system.
1t is mistake to forget that the hog
is grazing animal.
1t is mistake if the hog is not fed
in clean place free from dust and
mud.
1t is a mistake to overfeed, and it is
q bigger mistake to underfeed.

There's a thoughtless fellow driving

That thinks only Of arriving
At some point along the way.

Right and left in frenzied fear,
And he gives no thought to others
Save it's fashioned with a sneer.
Now this fellow I'm not naming,
And l wouldn't if / knew.
But the rest of us he's shaming.
And 1 wonder if it's you?

As he flies about the town, -.

Who behold him with frown.

On the automobile clan

disappeared from pasture and War
rem concluded it had been stolen.

fence was tight and the animal
couldn't have gotten there without
having been led thru a gate
Thursday evening a local transfer
man left a horse and dray standing
in front of his office. When he came
out 10 minutes later 1t was gone. He
concluded that it had gone unaided to
the barns two blocks away. as it often
did when unhitched at feeding time.
1t was not at the barn, however.
After a twentyfour hours search it
was discovered dead on the lawn of
Hills retreat at Twenty eighth and

Fort Dodge, Dec. 13.-Eight years
ago Peter Ottosen was a private in the
local guard company and was one Of
the workers during the Mulroney Man
ufacturing Company fire. Today he
holds the highest office that can come
to lieutenant In the United States
army. A few days ago he was ap-
pointed aide de- camp to Major Cen
eral Bailey.
The appointment comes as the last
&c 9 Ic3S string &c hccnrs paid IN the
Fort Dodge boy. He entered the army
when men not students of West Point
were allowed to take examinations Of
the stiffest kind for entrance into
army service. He was one of the few
who passed. For the last three years
he has been in command Of the United
States ninelayer In Manila harbor. For
several years ne has been in the sea-
coast artillery service, rising rapidly
from post TO post.
a short time ago Lieutenant Ottosen
perfected a new means for discharging
floating mines. The nature of the dis
coyery is a government secret. Lieu
tenant OttOsen gave the discovery TO
the government. which has taken up
the responsibility of patenting it. It is
as a reward for this service that the
aide-de-camp appointment came TO the
lieutenant. This post is usually given
only to captains.

Wisconsin is very much interested

been reached as to what the delegation
from that state in the next national
convention will do. Next to LaFollette
believe Senator Cummins is the
strongest man in the field with Wis
consin republicans. There is no GER
tainty that LaFollette will enter the
contest on his own account. He and
Senator Cummins have always been
the closest personal and political
