where little room is required; it pro-
vides plenty of space at the rear for
attending to the cows and for remov-
ing the manure.
AT the silo-flling time the silage cut
ter is set in close to the silo in the
wide entrance part of the driveway,
so that the blower pipe stands Verti-
cal in the usual way.
There is either an extension carrier
to bring corn sheaves in through the
driveway to the cutter. or a rope and
pulley is arranged 10 pull the loaded

terra.
The floor over the stable is made
of dressed and matched flooring, so
that no dust from the NOW overhead
can sift through to clog the space be-
tween the joists.
Ventilation is provided by taking
cold air from outside through spe-
cially constructed air flues which dis
tribute it near the ceiling of the
stable The foul air is removed by
means of ventilating fues having out
take openings near the floor behind
the cows and horses. The foul air is
carried up through these aues, chin
neylike, and is discharged above the
roof.

making the hoTsestable floor level
but the ground for the constable floor
is sloped away to drair properly into
the cutters. This work is better done
with water to settle the earth so It
will pack all solid together to give
an even support to all parts of the
floor.
The plan of the stable shows iron
stall partitions between the COW stalls
and wooden partitions between the
horse stalls. This distinction is not
necessary, but it is customary
Being a round barn with the silo
in the center, there is a round feed
ing alley built around the silo. Next
to the feeding alley is circular ce-
ment manger which extends half way
around. for the COWS, and wooden
ranger built on the same circle on
the horse side.
Both the cows and horses face in
toward the center SO the feeding is
easily and quickly done from the cen
ter feeding alley.
Silage is let down through silage
shute: also hay and straw are put
down through the same shute, and
both are distributed to the hangers
by feed carrier truck mounted on
heavy truck casters
There are doors on two sides of
tht barn. one OF which is intended as
a stock door to let the cattle and
horses in or out; the other is a vide
driveway door used when cleaning the
stable; also at silo-filling time.

braising. Not a block away was a
butcher who sold the entire rack,
from the first chop up to the Shout
der, as French chops, at 35 cents per
pound, and recognized no difference
in the quality of the meat There
is also another point to consider. and
that is the way the meat is trimmed
some butchers trimming closely be-
fore weighing, in which case the meat
may be well worth a cent or two a
pound more, and others weighing first
and trimming afterward.
Marketing should be done in person.
7 o this rule there is no exception. 1t
is for the purchaser herself to see
whether thJ chops be large or small,
the slice of ham Of the proper cut and
thickness and what the proportion of
waste in the piece of meat she is pur-
chasing. 1t is too much to expect of
a busy marketman, who has hundreds
of customers, tc put himself in the
place of such a customer and give
her exactly what she would have Sc
lected herself. The only sure way of
getting exactly what is best for each
particular family is for the house
keeper herself to inspect and select
the meat and see it cut off.
AS to the purchasing of pieces Of
meat which will answer for more than
one dinner, such as roasts, it should
be found from experience just how
many pounds are needed for the two
or three meals to be supplied, and
that much always purchased. 1t is
sometimes economy to buy large cut
of meat. A small roast costing 60 or
rs cents might be enough for only
one dinner, where a larger one, cost
ing 81, would furnish meat for two
dinners at an average cost of so
cents, saving worth while. 1t has
been found better economy by eXpe-
rienced cooks and caterers to plan the
left-overs in this way than to buy
whatever the marketman offers. and
then utilize any left-overs there may
be. The same rule applies to chicken
or any other sort of meat

Thunder AZ sea.

The Astronomical Society of France
has again taken up the discussion
which has been before it on several
previous occasions, and that is the
statement that thunder is never heard
at sea. The statement was original
ly attributed to Baron Won Humboldt.
and it has been frequently questioned.
but those who insist that they have
heard thunder at sea have also stated
that the peals were not so loud as on
land. A large number of seamen
have been found to agree with the
scientist, although It is suggested that
the other noises prevailing on ship
board during storm may be the
reason why the thunder often passes
unnoticed.

the lean they contain but in com
pairing boiling, stewing and similar
meats the cost CT gross meat, or fat
and lean combined, should be more
largely considered, because the fat
is more completely utilized, as in the
case OF meat loaf hash, hamburger,
and corned beef.
One Of the most important points to
learn IS the way the meat is cut up
and how the different cuts should be
cooked. In a side Of beef we have
first the neck and shoulder clod, the
latter a good, solid cut of meat par
ticularly good for beef la mode;
then come the five chuck ribs and the
