An Attractive, Convenient and commo dous Barn.
Rome wasn't built in a day"

Rome wasn't built in a day"
Some Wisconsin farmers are finding
it to their advantage to follow the
same plan in the construction Of their
barns
The completed basement of the barn
to-be, with tamarack pole shed for
hay and roughage, makes satisfac-
tory beginning for the man of limited
means. The basement affords COM
Portable stable for the herd, and the
upper structure Of the barn can be
added as needed.
In this way the total expense of
building can be more easily met If
more than a basement and shed is
needed at the outset, f. M. White of
the College of Agriculture suggests
that the framework, side walls and
roof be put up complete, and the in
side work be added later The first
consideration in building barn under
these, or any other conditions, he
thinks, is to make it of standard width,
which is 36 feet. The length may be
whatever is desired to meet the needs
Of the farm.

SERENADERS IN HARD LUCK
Princeton Students Meant Well, 'ut
Evidently 1t Was Not Their
Night to Make "Hit."

One night not long ago four Prince
ION boys went gayly forth to serenade
two bellies of the town. Arrived at
the house of the fair ones, they took
their stand under the correct window,
as they thought, and for some time
made the night more or less melodi-
GUS.
They were just preparing to leave
when door opened and the Jolly old
father of the girls appeared. Had 1t
been light they might possibly have
seen a twinkle in his eye.
Boys" said he, I'VE are much
obliged. That is, l am much obliged,
for | happen to be alone tonight.

ing. Maybe if you come again youn

A school teacher down in Miss. says

"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become 80

nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and heart

Realty Valuations Raise s7,575, $50.

nOdiLJ bGiuGLtOHS ndISC plTOf OJO~Ss
Wisconsin real estate assessable for
taxation purposes increased in Valua-
ton last year s1O7,575,65O, according
to tentative figures by the state tax
commission. The total assessment is
approximately S2,700,0 100000, as com-
pared with 1882, 424,350 for 1914.
The commission has not completed
it's compilation of the personal prop
erty values, but will have done so
soon and the assessment will then be
made For 1914 the personal property
assessment was $3.50, 100000. rate
of increase approximating that on the
real estate will bring the personal
property assessment for the present
year, somewhat more than S600,000,'
600, making the total Of real and per
sonal property assessable for 1915 ap-
proximately S3,300,000, 900, an increase
of $127,569,6 46 over the valuation OF
1914.
This valuation, or assessment, as it
is called, is made by the tax commits
sion independently of the local assess
ment and upon it's own investigation.
1t is not used by the local officials in
fixing the local values. 1t is used
chiefly as a basis for the distribution
of state funds which go to the coun-
ties, school funds, ETC., that the state
collects through the operation of the
general laws, and for the appOrtiOn-
ment of the state tax.
1t is made the basis, too, Of levy1ng
the mill taxes, seven-tenths of mill
for the common schools, three-eighths
of a mill for the state university and
one-sixth of a mill for the normal
schools, approximately one and one
fourth mills for these three purposes.
AS a result Of the present increase
Of approximately $127569, SAT in the
state assessment, the revenue derived
from the mill taxes for educational
purposes will be $4,000 more than
under the assessment of 1914.
It was this result of ever increasing
the amount levied under the mill tax
laws that prompted Assemblyman Ell
lingson to introduce in the late legis-
lature bills to repeal these mill tax
laws. He succeeded in getting the
bills through the assembly, but when
they came into the senate they were
killed. He wanted the legislature to
substitute specific appropriations for
the support of the educational institu-
lions.
The commission assessed the value
of real estate in Milwaukee county at
$496, 900, as against s476,O57' O3O
last year.

READY FOR UNCLE
SANS DAILY VISITS

The rural mail box, located as it is
along the main highway, bearing the
name of it's owner, is mute evidence of
thrift or carelessness.
Dilapidated, broken wooden boxes,
or rusty, misshapen metal tubes, hang
ing askew from a crooked post, tell an
all too-eloquent story. Permanence
and stability are mighty good assets
and these, together with neatness,
would be much enhanced if our mail
boxes received just bit more atten-
ton.
Wooden posts are always subject to
rapid decay at the ground level. The

Wherever possible, it is desirable
to build the silo when the barn is
built. The walls of the barn may be
extended to the sides of the silo, form
ing a room in the basement for roots
and feed room on the first floor as
well as affording protection to the silO.
A good example of this extension may
be seen in the accompanying illustra-
ton.
Locating barn where it will have
a good drainage is an important con-
sideration. While a bank barn does
save in some ways, if a dark basement
results the advantages do not warrant
the sacrifice of light and drainage.
Room and convenience in handling
feeds can be secured to better advan-
tage by having driveway on the sec
ond floor or by the use of elevators"
Mr.. White suggests that settlers in
new sections may find it advisable to
first put up makeshift barn of boards
or logs. Such a barn would cost the
farmer little besides his labor and will
last until conditions are more favora-
BILE for building a permanent barn.

the top of the post. 1t is an easy mat

position in the bottom of the metal
mail box. These will permit the bolts
to pass through and be secured by the

ROAD TO oATMAN.

KINGMAN, Dec. 25.-Application
for a franchise TO build and operate
a steam or electric railroad from some
point on the Santa Fe main line to
Oatman. the big gold camp, has been
filed with the Mohave county board
Of supervisors by Henry Loyin, state
senator fro mthis county and Horace
j. Pullen. With the rapidly increas-
ing tonnage to Oatman in the way Of
supplies and machinery and with pros
poets for a heavy outbound traffic
in the future, it is believed that a
railroad to the camp would prove a
paying proposition.
Another move TO capture the Dat
man business is about to be made
by Needles, Cal, parties, who have
formed a company to construct a pom
toon bridge across the Colorado and
haul freight to Oatman by means OF
auto trucks. The distance by way
Of the bridge is As miles, but this will
be materially shortened if the pom.
toons are bEilt
