Would Watch Expansion.

an this connection I want TO say that
we have not been sufficiently active in
supervising this expansion Of the rail-
roads. They have grown just as they
pleased. with far more thought to their
own profits and advantages than those
Of the people OF the country, while on
the other hand they have been handi-
capped b. inadequate charters, which
in many instances they have eyaded in
Split, though keeping the letter.
"The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. under a national charter system
could watch the growth Of the rail-
roads. shaping their consultations and
extensions with q view 10 the service
Of the transportation needs OF the
country. the railroads on the other
hand being permitted TO 10 many Of
the things which possibly they could
not now under their present charters.
"The question of regulating security
issues is ono of enormous importance,
and one which. when got on a firm
basis. will BE- OF material assistance TO
the railroads. " railroads can only
issuo new securities after they have
been approved By the Interstate Com
mescc Commission three purposes Will
hp served: The stockholders viii be
safe ruardcd from the kind OF looting
Of which we have heard so much. The
purchasers OF the securities will be
protected against the possibility Of
heavy losses And. finally, the rail-
roads. through making their securities
safe and attractive. will be able 70 get
money az low rates Of interest, saving
them millions Of dollars annually in in

ter piers are about a foot lower than
the side walls to allow for the thick
ness Of the concrete floor. The center
piers come under the managers so that
posts supporting the floor above are
in line with the front of the COW
stalls. Especial attention is required
in building these center piers to have
the footings wide enough and deep
enough in the ground to prevent set
Ting, for there is great NOW over
the dairy stable and there is likely
to be considerable weight up there, so
that the center piers and the support
ing posts will be under long and con-
tinuous strain. Sometimes builders do
not fully and thoroughly appreciate
the amount of weight resting on center
posts and center piers.
After the walls and the piers are fin
ished the ground is graded for the
floor. 1t is a good plan to wet the
ground thoroughly so it will settle
alike in every part of the stable. It is
annoying to have concrete floor
break through because the ground unr

derneath settles after the door is laid.
1t is customary to make cow stable
ceilings a little higher than formerly,
because of the labor-saving stable ma
chinery that is now being adopted.
Tracks to support feed carriers and
litter carriers are attached to the cell
ing, and about eight feet Of head room
above the concrete floor is usually pro-
vided.
A concrete stable floor is made level
endwise OF the building; crosswise, it
varies, to give the necessary slant to
the standing floor and the drop for the
cutters; also the floor behind the cows
slopes forward slightly to drain into
the cutters.
The bottoms Of the hangers, the
front OF the standing floor, and the
floor between the managers usually are
made the same height The hangers
may or may not have fronts that pro-
ject up to keep the feed in where the
cows can easily reach it. If there are
no fronts to the managers, then usually
the floor in the center alley is made a
few inches higher. These details are
worked out at the time of building to
suit the individual owner.
There are few arbitrary rules in
regard to building dairy stables that
we cannot go away from, but unim-
portant details may be easily modified
to suit each farmers preference for
doing work in certain ways.
Every wellbuilt dairy stable has a
concrete floor. The top surface Of the
floor is Waterproofed in some way to
provide easy cleaning and to preserve
the liquid manure After waterproof
ing, the surface may be made some
what rough to prevent the cows from
slipping.
Also the question of ventilation has

and have ample footings to prevent
settling. Width Of building Is 36 feet
and the length is SO feet. Thirty-six
feet wide works out about right in
placing the cows, and leaves room to
milk by machinery. Also the alleys
are laid out to accommodate feed car
riers and litter carriers for conven-
fence in feeding and disposing of the
manure.
The length, so feet, is sufficient to
provide stall room for 80 cows, allow
ing 31a feet for each cow with pas
sageways at each end of the stable.
Thirty cows is a fair-sized dairy, as
farmers usually conduct dairy BUSH
ness in connection with diversified
farming. 1t is possible to crowd in a
few more cows by standing them in
the passageWays il it becomes abso-
lutely necessary.
There is another floor plan which
provides stable room for % COWS, be-
sides making a horse stable in one
end. This combination horse stable
and cow stable is not recommended,
except as a temporary provision to
stable halfrdozen horses until a
separate horse stable can be provided
The cow stable floor may be extended
through the horse stable at the time
of building.
In laying the foundation for barn
like this the outside wall usually Is
made of concrete and is carried up
IL or Is inches above the level of the
ground.
A COW stable floor should be at least
a foot above the barnyard. The CEN

been thoroughly thrashed out Profess
sor King of the University of Wiscon-
sin worked for years to spread venti-
lation information among dairy farm
ers that would induce them to change
the air in dairy stables, to provide
fresh air as often as needed.
This plan provides for four venti-
lating fiues in the sides of the stables.
These fues follow the slope of the
roof and terminate in metal ventila-
tors perched on the peak. These are
the exhaust fues which take the foul
air from near the floor at the sides Of
the stable behind the cows and carry
it up, chimney fashion, and discharge
1t into the atmosphere
Fresh air is supplied by means Of
air ducts that enter the sides of the
stable from the outside as shown in
the illustration. These air ducts are
built in the wall so that they extend
up near the ceiling and discharge the
air over the cows.
Circulation Of air in stable de-
ponds principally upon the heat sup
piled by the animals. For this reason
| a dairy stable should be we'll filed
with cows in cold weather, so that
their body heat will start the air In
motion.
The principle of the circulation Of
warm air is that heated air has ten
dency to climb to the top. It is well
illustrated in the chimney. There is
little draft up through a cold chin
ney, but as soon as the fire is started
air rises up with considerable velocity.

The Bi-State Baseball League which
had its inception at Rockford, ILL.,, is
determined to force an entrance into
Kenosha and on Monday officials of the
league came to Kenosha and spent much
Of the afternoon in conference with
the officials of the Kenosha Retailer IS
Association in an effort to have this
association take up the plans of the
league and aid in securing the location
Of team in Kenosha. Racine has
definitely decided to put team in the
new league and the Racine baseball
fans are anxious to have Kenosha in
Guided in the circuit. Other cities
which have given assurance that they
will come in are, Beloit, Janesville,
Rockford and Elgin. The plans are be-
ing made for six circuit league The
officials of the league with a number
of Racine promoters will come to Ke-
nosha ON next Saturday at which time
it is expected that formal meeting
will DE held with the members of the
Retailer Is Association and men who
are interested in baseball in Kenosha.
"The Retailers Association is not
backing any baseball team" said
Secretary Theleen on Monday evening
following his conference with the BIZ
state officials. eff the association can
aid the BASEBALL fans to put a little
real joy into life in Kenosha we will
be glad to do it. The plan proposed
for the new league team in Kenosha is
one that appears to be good, but the
men who have heard the story have not
been keeping in touch with the base
ball situation in Kenosha and the facts
must be laid before some more inter
ested parties before the association
takes any final action. The bi-state of
icials insist that this is great open
ing for Kenosha and if it is we want
to know more about it,
The Kenosha baseball team has al
ready found a berth in the Lake Shore
League for the new season and if the
city is to go into the Bi-State League
it will be necessary for the team to de-
sert the Lake Shore League. It is GER
tain that Kenosha is not going to di-
vide its baseball support between two
teams as this would undoubtedly spell
ruin for both teams and the killing of
the sport in Kenosha for the whole
season.
The proposition of the Bi-State
League officials would demand the ex-
penditure of some real money in Ke-
nosha as there would have to be a new
park built and provisions made for
financing team playing every day
ball. Kenosha has never tried out the
experiment of having ball game every
day in the week and two on HOLIDAYS.
There are lot Of men in the city who
believe that the game would pay in
Kenosha. Con Strouthers, the advance
agent of the Bi-State League, who was
at the head of the party here on Mon
day, declares that he is certain that
Kenosha would be real baseball town.
