We read a great deal about the ne
cessity of keeping the dairy herd
warm and comfortable in winter. but
no one seems to pay much attention
to keeping the cows cool and comfor-
table In summer.
The monitor roof style of dairy
building is well liked in some sections.
especially where the summer is long
and hot. A dairy barn of this type
is shown in the accompanying illustra
tions, which give the perspective and
floor plans
This stable is open to the roof, de-
sign that just naturally ventilates
itself when the windows are left open.

The fox farm of Gttfred Fuglestad
of Hommersaal has become an impor-
tant industry. Between sixty and sew
enty animals are kept In different COM
partments according to their species.
Most of them were born last spring.
Almost cne-half of the number were
born Of animals imported from Ice
land. SO far the chief aim Of Mr.. Fugle-
stad has been to raise animals for
breeding purposes. Whenever he kills
one he sells the skin In London. The
price for blue fox runs all the way
FROM SIS to SIS. The animals require
next to no care. Everything moves
like clockwork, and the foxes behave
pretty much like other domestic anil
mails. They eat fish. meat scraps, po-
tatoes, in short, everything that re-
mains after an ordinary meal. From
what has been said 1t is evident that
1t pays to raise foxes Of the expensive
kinds.

AS early as the second Of September
there was heavy snowfall in upper
Osterdalen. Some new-mown hay was
covered with a twelveinch layer Of
snow. There are very few grouse this
year, a covey generally consisting of
only two or three birds.
Archeologists are p,uch interested

drainage tile to all parts Of the prop
erty, and crops are thus supplied with
moisture through the roots instead of
from the surface. To drain the farm
after heavy rain or when enough wa
ter has been supplied it is only neces
sary to open gates and allow the ditch
es to empty into the canal.
In thousands of cases farmers who
have ponds or streams can have
cheap and effective irrigation system
on the Budlong plan. Others can
build small reservoirs or dams on the
highest part of their farms and irri-
gate either by. surface bitches or
through tiling. The expense will
range from $1,000 to $4,000 on ordi-
reservoir. Draintiles are needed, any
way, and this item of expense is not to
be charged entirely to irrigation.
Where a pond or other body of water
is so situated that stream can be
run to the highest point in field irri-
water can be pumped into bitches or
burrows the proposition is easily and
cheaply handled, Light furrows about
eight or ten feet apart will serve to
carry the water through the fields and
down the slopes This plan requires
that the burrows be kept full until the
ground is thoroughly soaked. In Pc
riod of drought this operation is to be
repeated from time to time. In all
surface irrigation it is important that
the soil be well cultivated as soon as
the water, has been absorbed to pre-
vent the !. formation of destructive
crusts - =; ,u
Kansas has installed the first irriga-
tion plant owned by that state under
law passed by the last legislature ap-
propriating $125,O00 for experimental
irrigation work. The plant consists Of
six modern w1ndmills furnishing pow
er and six four-inch cylinders. which
lift the water into a reservoir 100 by
$50 feet and six feet deep, made Of
dirt. In making a reservoir the top
soil is removed and the sides banked
with dirt from adjoining land. After
dragging and pudding the reservoir is
found to hold water. After the reser-
yoir has been filed the f1oodgate is
opened and the water carried over the
fields.
1t is feasible to construct smaller
reservoirs at high points on farm.
Generally it will pay to construct a
concrete bottom. bitches or burrows
leading from this irrigate the crops in
the simplest and cheapest manner
known to man. The matter of keep
ing the reservoir supplied is one that
each farmer can study out to suit his
own circumstances. In some cases a
windmill will serve the purpose, or
small engine can be used for pumping
the water. These are cheap methods,
but they are practicable and enable
the landowner to regulate the mois-
ture which his crops require.
There is no doubt but that simple
form of irrigation will pay any farm
er. Crops are doubled in extent and
improved in quality by regular water
supply, which is best worked in con-
ncction with drainage system.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWsFIELD

lss -aEa & 7s 3 + Z e IL g. =
Modern dairy owners having over
come by means Of silage the disastrous
effects of summer drought it is now
worth while for all farmers to take up
the question Of irrigation. ~
This country is fast reaching the
level Of 5000 land, and every agency
that can aid in making the higher
priced farms pay must receive atten-
tion. Irrigation is not commonly un-
derstood by farmers living east Of the
Rocky mountains, and they. have look
ed upon its marvellous results as some
thing belonging exclusively to the from
tier. The fact is, however, a regulated
water supply is needed on every farm,
and in the absence of public system
Of irrigation individual or cooperative
action is called for. ..-
There is no surer method of making
farm pay than to irrigate it. The
Budlong place of 700 acres in Cook
county, ILL.,, is both watered and drain
ed by means of the drainage canal,
and the system pays well in the enor-
nous crops Of vegetables which are
regularly produced. -- .
Water from the drainage canal is
pumped into bitches which border the
big farm. When these bitches are full

cities take their name Such gardens,
though partially devoted to vegetable
raising, should also be we'll laid out
with flower beds, and the whole gar
den city should be subject to such reg
ulations as will insure sufficient atten-
ton being given to the gardens to pro-
duce the intended appearance. Grass
plots, trees, hedges, shrubbery and ar
bors should be in abundance both in
the front and in the rear of the houses.
The neglect of the residents should not
be allowed to mar the appearance Of
the city.
The houses may be quite simple and
compact in design, but they should all
be individual in character and by no
means the frightful rows Of boxes, all
exactly alike, which are put up for
workmen's houses in most rural or
suburban places devoted to such pur-
poses.
The economical design of the build
ings and the small expenses for streets
make the housing cost small, so that
the rent may be low or the workman
may in a reasonable length of time
become the owner Of his own home.
Garden cities should be laid out with
in easy reach of transit facilities, and
natural advantages Of site should be
seized whenever possible to give indi-
viduality and charm to the plan.
The sanitary provisions of the gar
den cities should be carefully carried
out, and the details should be simple,
but solid in construction and as mex
pensiVe as possible.
A garden city is principally a place
Of residence, and it should have as
few stores as possible, only those of
the most necessary character being
provided. A school may be the only:
building Of public character:
In garden cities, however, which are
larger and located in more or less
isolated position the suburban charac-
ter is lost, and they become small
cities and should be accordingly pro-
vided with great number and vari-
ETY. Of stores and public buildings.
The city may have it's own civic or

churches, museum, theaters and the
like, and be a complete civic unit o.

[By Frank Koester, consulting engineer,
New York: author of Modern City
Planning and Maintenance"
The garden city in it's best form is
we'll organized development, in which
from 100 to 500 homes make up unit,
which is intended to grow little if any
larger. When additional demand
springs up for quarters new garden
city is formed elsewhere, and thus the
identity of the existing one is preserv-
ed Indefinitely, and the residents, in the
expecta ton of spending their lives in
their own homes, have every incentive
to embellish them and keep their
grounds in the best possible condition.
The garden city in plan should be
laid out in the simplest, yet most at
tractive manner There being no traf-
fc of any consequence the streets
should be planned with the degree Of
irregularity which insures charm.
Some of the streets should be winding,
while the straight ones should have
suitable terminals. Each house should
be provided with a spacious garden,
