His Cruel Treatment.

Some time since pretty young
wife brought suit against her husband
for divorce on the ground of cruelty.
and when the case was called the fair
petitioner was put on the witness
stand
You say on your petition. madam"
interrupted the Judge at one interval,
that your husband treated you with
great cruelty?"
Eyes. sir" was the soft and meek
rejoinder of the witness. he was
cruel to me very often"
In what particular way?" asked
the judge. Il want to hear some spe-
cific cases"
In many ways" answered the pc
titioner Zone of the worst things he
used to CO was to say things to me
on the telephone, and then hang up
the receiver before l could answer

KIND Of a door. The top and bottom
parts must be carefully beveled where
they meet, so that the door will be
stormproof in the wintertime; other
wise the draft through this opening
may keep the barn too cold
The part of the barn occupied by the
horses is shut off from the rest of the
barn by swinging doors. It is desira-
Bile In combination barn to have the
horses and COWS separated as com
pletely as possible In this barn the
doors close both the litter alleys and
the feed alleys except when they are
in use. The box stalls are in the
same end of the barn as the horse
stalls
The ventilating system is taken of
by two foul-air shafts. These are
placed in the partition between the
box stalls and the cow stable on each
side. These shafts reach from near
the floor to the ventilator on the roof
This carries away the foul air from the
stable proper and also ventilates the
haymow.
Intake flues are provided which take
the air into the stable just below the
windows and discharge it near the cell
ing over the stock. Good ventilation
is absolutely necessary in dairy barn
il the best of milk is to be produced
The expense of installing first-class
system will be more than made up in
the returns from healthy stock.
At the end of the barn in which the
cows are kept is silo which opens
into feed alley running between the
hangers. This alley is equipped with
feed carrier running on track The
work of feeding the stock in such a
barn as this is much easier when the
feed can be carried on a track running
the length of the barn. The carrier
runs into the horse part Of the stable
also. The silage for the cattle and
the hay for both the cattle and the
horses can be conveniently handled
with this apparatus.
In back of the rows of stalls on each
side of the barn are litter carriers
which assist in the handling of the

Who is the greatest ball player in
the game today?
This question has been asked thou
sands of times and has caused innum-
cradle arguments and yet remains I'M
settled. 1t is almost certain to remain
undecided, as experts, newspaper
writer's and baseball men are unable
to agree, writes Oscar c. Reichow in
Chicago News. National league men
think that certain players in their or
ganization surpass those in the Ameri-
can league, while men in the latter
body believe they possess the best in
the game.
Hans Wagner, Johnny Evers, Nor
decai Brown, Frank Chance, Ty Cobb,
Joe Jackson, Iris Speaker, Ed Walsh,
Eddis Collins and Hal Chase have
been referred to at some time or 9th
er as being the star of all ball play
ers. Fans, and men connected with
the game, who admire one of these
men still are of the opinion that he is
the leader of the lot. Wagner, Cobb,
Speaker, Collins and Jackson have
probably the strongest right to the
reputation owing to their ability to
hit, field and run bases.

Cubs, who is regarded as one of the
smartest ball players in the National

pliment when he declared that the
Pittsburgh shortstop is the greatest
ball player the game has ever Sad and
ever will have. Bresnahan does not
think baseball ever had man OF
Wagners ability, and does not think
there will ever be player who will
play the game as he has played it
for II years. The Cub manager is SO
strong in his belief that he declared
he would not give Wagner for five
Cobs, Jacksons or Speakers.
Il have watched Wagner for IT
years and in that time have never
seen him make mistake and no one
else has. He started to play the same
year l did and because of his natural
ability | took an interest in him and
watched his work closely. / must
say in all truthfulness that / have
never seen him do the wrong thing.
That may be putting it rather strong,
but it is the truth. / have talked
with men who have been with him for
years and they have told me the
same. Tommy Leach was on the Louis
vile club with Wagner and also at
Pittsburgh, and he will confirm what
say. Fred Clarke and Gibson will
say the same, They have yet to see

The haymow is capable of taking
care of a large quantity of clover, al
falfa, and straw. The roof is of the
gambrel type and is self-supporting so
that there are no columns or posts in
the central part Of the NOV to inter-
fere with the storage of the fodder.
The gambrel roof is one of the strong
est of roof designs, so there will be no
danger of 1t not standing the strain
due to the wind and the snow. The
floor under the haymow is made Of
matched and dressed flooring, so that

best material for this purpose. The
side walls are carried down four feet
to the broad footings that support the
walls. Along each side of the feed
alley is a row of 5-inch wrought-iron
columns. These are supported on con-
crete piers. Too much care cannot be
exercised in making these foundations
right Nearly all the weight of the
fodder, straw, etc., in the haymow
is carried by these columns. Care
must also be exercised in preparing
the ground before putting down the
concrete floor. 1t should be thorough
ly cornpacted so that the floor will not
sink in some place and thus crack.
The concrete side walls are carried
up to grade and the frame is then
erected on top of them.
All the doors opening to the out
side are Of the Dutch type. The
Dutch door is one of the best kinds
that can be put in barn During the

The stalls in the part of the barn
occupied by the cattle are placed on a
slant with gutter behind so that
they can be readily flushed out with a
hose. The floor where the horses are
