J. HAM LEWIS BOOSTS
GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH
Illinois Senator Calls Executive
Excellent Presidential Tim
ber.

Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis, who was
chairman of the Democratic National
Convention In 1912 has given Governor
Brumbaugh a boost for the Presidency.
In an interview here last night the
Illinois Senator said that the next Re-
publican candidate for President or Vice
President should come from Pennsyl-
vania.
Governor Brumbaugh is a very bright
possibility for the Republican candidacy
for President or at least Vice President, -
he said. THE Republican party will
have to give something to Pennsylvania
to assure itself of the electoral vote. In
the past this has always been a certain
thing, but now there Is some uncertainty
as to its political position. There has,
Furthermore, been no nominee since the
time of Buchanan from Pennsylvania.
I'm the West and Middle West Brum-
baugh is held in very high estimation,
being regarded as n sane man and ad-
mlred for his attitude on the liquor
question"
A. Mitchell Palmer has not as yet
given up his position as official dis
penser of Federal patronage in Pennsyl-
vania. He and Roland S. Morris. Demo-
cratic State chairman went to Wash
ington last night to arrange for the
distribution of number of postmaHter-
ships, including that at Pittsburgh, which
are still to be handed out by the Palmer
machine. The Democratic party men
say that Palmer is arranging to hand
out all of the patronage that Is avail
able before he assumes the place on the
bench as Judge of the Court of Claims, or
| becomes Solicitor for the State Depart
| ment, for which place he Is being serious
ly considered by President Wilson.

so that the cows do not all try to

The outtake flues for ventilation are

NEW ROAD MAP.

The Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation is preparing map of all au-
tomobile routes in the state. A. d..
Campbell, manager of the association
at Milwaukee, has written the the fol-
lowing letter to members of the as
ISOLATION throughout the state. The
letter in part is:
"Our system of through automobile
routes is nearly completed and we will
soon have the map ready. We are not
satisfied to stop with the completion of
marking. We want to do all that is
possible to improve the roads. We al
ready have been successful in obtain
ing the improvement of many bad
places and we want to continue this
werk with all possible persistency. To
this end we desire to get as many re-
ports as possible Of the bad places on
all our routes. Another matter which
we desire to urge at this time is the
naming of farms along the routes. AS
soon as a farmer names his farm he
begins to take pride in it. His yard is
cleaned, his fences are improved, soon
his buildings are made to look better
and we have every reason to believe
that this interest in better things will
extend to the roads through his farm. )"

COWS has gutter in back of the
stalls, and also the floor Of the stalls
is made on a slant SO that they can
be easily washed out. In the horse
part of the stable the floors are made
level and no gutter is needed in back
of the stalls. Convenient harness clos
cts are placed in the front part of the
barn alongside the horse stalls.
Lighting is one of the most impor'
tant things in barn. Chickens like
to lay eggs where it is dark, but dairy
COWS do not accomplish much unless
they are given plenty of light. The
lighting in this barn is well taken
care of. There are seven windows
spaced along each side of the barn
and in each end there are two more,
making eighteen windows in all. In adj
dition to contributing to the comfort
Of the cows a well-lighted barn is
much pleasanter to work in.
The entrance to the barn for the
animals is through a wide double
sliding door at the front end of the
barn. There is also another double
door at the back through which the
litter carrier goes out to the dump.

Place for Government Activity.

For nearly fifteen years the govern
ment has been spending millions of
dollars per year putting water on land
in the far west that people do not
want and then resorting to every pos
sible means to get them to use it.
This is done on twenty years time
without interest at cost of $40 to $50
per acre.
Now suppose that instead of this the
government were to pull stumps out OF
upper Wisconsin land thatpeople want
to use, at cost of $40 per acre on ten
years time with interest. Which is
the more reasonable proposition?
This is not arguing that the govern
ment should go into either project,
but if it has so much stored up energy
that it must find an outlet for it the
farmers of upper Wisconsin would be
glad to have some of it expended in
their region.
Wisconsin congressman are invited
to present this matter when again
congress is asked to vote some more
millions for farm development. 1t will
result-if there be any results-in
opening land near the great markets.
1t will produce more food as close to
and not as far from the people as
possible.

When the medal is received at the ex-

which Mr.. Anderson is honored is the

Alfalfa and Canada ThistIes.

Alfalfa growers in Wisconsin have
found that that crop is bad for Canada
thistles-and good for the farmer
Canadian thistles are aggressive and
persistent fighters for the possession of
the soil and against almost any crop
are consistent winner, but dnds the
battle with alfalfa bad one. The
trouble from the standpoint of thistles
is that so many generations of alfalfa
come on the field and at such frequent
intervals that the thistle doesn't have
n fair chance. The mower comes hum
ming along every time the thistles get
a start and off goes their heads several
times every year.
So it is with quack grass and other
noxious stuff-they no more than get
over one setback when they get an
other and another. And alfalfa fills
the barns so fast, and comes back in
che form of barnyard fertilizer, and
loosens the soil so that these noxious
things cannot get foothold. All over
the state comes reports that these
plants cannot hold their own against
alfalfa and that 10 one reason for a
greater acreage of the greatest farm
crop in the world.

Matter In Hands or 10. boaro.
At the annual meeting of the county
board in November the new law which
empowers county boards to erect road
signs by using money of the highway
and bridge fund will be called up for
consideration. The old law provided
that this should be done by the town
boards, but very little attention was
paid to the law and the complaints
made by motorists and others have
been ignored.
There is movement now on foot to
start statewide campaign for signs
on all highways, so that automobiles
and motoreyclists will not be com
PEELED to lose time hunting for infor-
nation to guide them to their destin-
atoms.
Under the new system all county
roads which have been laid with con-
crete are to become part of the general
state highway plan and the state is to
pay one-third of the cost of keeping
these roads in first-class condition.
The counties thru which the roads
pass must bear the remaining two
thirds
Previous to this new regulation per-
sons who complained because there
were no road signs at intersections
obtained little or no satisfaction, be-
cause county officials had no legal
right to spend any money for this
purpose.
The new law giving the county
boards the power to spend money for
guide signs became effective Aug. 10,
and considerable agitation in favor of
some immediate action is being made.

ment stable used to mean a bank barn
with the accompanying dampness and
dinginess that is so unhealthful for
any kind of stock. The barn shown
here is dry, well ventilated and warm
and suited to raising the best kind of
stock. If bank barn is built against
a side hill the hill should be cut away
and the entrance to the threshing
floor maintained by a bridge.
Threshing floors are not generally
provided in barns made in the mod
ern way. 1t is waste of space to
set aside valuable storage room in a
barn when it is only to be used for
few days each year. 1t is better to
do the threshing outside and use all
the space in the barn the year round.
The intake f1ues for the ventilating
system come into the barn at the top
of the concrete wall and are dis
charged near the ceiling over the
heads of the stock. The outtake
fiues start in back of the stalls and
are carried up to the ventilators on
the roof. A pure and plentiful supply
of air is assured by this system

back of the barn so as to connect up

nure is handled in one alley, and the
walls are protected from the manure
that always splashes on them unless
the barn is made very wide.
Such are the many reasons given
for the two arrangements. Many high
grade successful dairy barns have
been modelled after each of these
plans.
The concrete foundation for the
combination barn shown here is car

the footings, and the concrete walls
are built above grade to the cell
