to eight inches deep. The gutter
should slope to one edge and also to
one end, as in Fig. 1, which shows
a cross-section.
The front gate should be adjusta-
BILE, so as to close to the rear edge Of
the platform. The manger may be
made of wood or cement, but in all
cases should be partitioned off so as
to keep each cows food separate.
Some stockmen object to cement floors
on the ground that they give the
COWS rheumatism and produce sore
feet. If proper bedding is given,
there should be no trouble. Many
think such a floor construction extrav-
agant and impractical for the average
dairyman, but it is not. While the
original cost may be little more, 1t
will be cheaper in the end and far
more serviceable. Such floor will
outwear many made of wood and will
be far more sanitary in every way.
They are easier to clean and do not
give off odors like a board floor,
which soaks up filth and causes an
ever-present odor in the stable.
The stalls should be separate so
that each animal will be by herself,
and she will soon learn to take her
own place when entering the stable.
This is not saying that good stables
cannot be built of wood, but it is to
remind the man who contemplates
building or wishes to remodel his barn
that it pays to build we'll.

Charles p. Shepherd.

Charles P. Shepherd, youngest son
of Isaac and Sarah Shepherd, was
born on his fathers homestead, town
ship of Beetown, Wisconsin, June 7th,
1862. He resided there until 1900,
when, with his three sisters he re-
moved to this city, where they lived
for eleven years. They then went
back into Beetown township, laboring
on farms until January of the present
year when they returned to their
home in Lancaster, from whence the
beloved brother, the provider for the
home, was removed by death, October
3, 1915, after very painful illness of
little over one week.
Charles had been ailing all summer,
but kept bravely at daily work. He
must have suffered much silently. At
the beginning of the last illness the
attending physician discovered a kid
ney disease in hopeless form, and the
sick man knew that his earthly labors
were done. He was visited by Rev.
Weyhrauch, with whom he prayed,
and he signified his willingness for
the inevitable change so swiftly ap-
preaching only for the sis
tiers, deprived of his support. Lucinda,
Elizabeth and Ellen, all unmarried,
are left to mourn.
The sympathy of the neighborhood
is awakened in their behalf, as they
are hardly able to cope with the world
for a competent livelihood. The broth
er had looked forward with a great
degree of pleasure to the early and
final payment of an encumbrance on
their home. That was the goal for
which all had been working. Now
their mainstay is removed; the faith
full, hard-working brother. And to
their burden of great loss is added the
expense of illness and death. May
Jesus, the friend of all who weep, sus-
tain and comfort, and in His own good
time and way life their heavy cross.
! Jesus, thou, who are touched with the
feelings of our woes,
Let us on Thee our heavy burden
cast;
Our grieving, aching hearts on Thee
repose,
Leaning on Thee this sad mysterious
past;
Let us, submissive bow and kiss thy
rod,
Let us be still and know that Thou
art God"
Neighbors and friends gathered at
the home on the Tuesday following de-
mise, to pay the last tribute of respect.
After brief prayer and song the SER
, vices were concluded, at the little
church near the old Shepherd home
stead, Rev. .Weyhrauch of the Baptist
church of this city, speaking consol-
ing words of hope to the large crowd
gathered there.
The body was laid to rest in the lit
tie cemetery not far from the burial
place of the father, mother, brother
and sister "gone before" For the
many testimonials of kindness shown
to their brother in his illness, the
sympathy manifested, and for the pro-
fusion of beautiful flowers, the sor-
rowing sisters are sincerely thankful.

Mr.. Sprague's home was always a
rendezvous for his old comrades, and
the gatherings there and and anniver-

Funeral services were held in the
Congregational church at 10 O'CLOCK
last Sunday morning, November 1th,
Rev. L. F. Archelger officiating. The
body was borne to its last resting

GOOD cow STALL AND FLOOR
Dairy Building Should Be Constructed
With Aim to Keep Cows Dry and
Clean as Possible.

While it is more pleasant to work in
fine barns, it is not necessary to have
them in order to get good results, but
items under this head are quite nee
essary for getting the best returns.
With the comfort of the animal in
view, our buildings should be con-
structed with the aim to keep the cows
as dry and clean as possible. Cement
floors built with about the same thick
ness as sidewalks and so construct
ed as to offer good drainage are the
most serviceable, says writer in West
ern Farmer. They should contain a

The following sketch of Mr.. Spra-
cues army life was written by his
comrade-in-arms, James M. Hayden:
James Sprague enlisted as a soldier
in Company c of the 25th Regiment OF
Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers, on or
about August 18th, 1862, at Lancaster,
Wis. and was honorably discharged
June eth, 1865, thereby serving about
two years and ten months in the war
of the rebellion The complete his
tory of his service may be found IN
the history of his regiment, for he
never missed a roll call and never at
tended the sick call while in the SER
vice of his country, and was ever
ready for duty when called upon. His
regiment was first sent into Minneso-
ia i'm the fall of 90 to help subdue the
Indian outbreak; thence to Vicksburg,
where it lay under siege until Gener-
al Pemberton surrendered to General
Grant on the 4th day of July, 1868 /;
thence with General Sherman on his
famous march to the sea; thence back
Ia the rear of Richmond before Lee
surrendered to General Grant, and
then ON to Washington where it took
mart in the grand review on Pennsyl-
1-ania avenue, after which he was dis
charged at Washington, ID. O., on June
7tb 1865. when his commanding Of
ftcer made him a present Of his gun
