The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

trial package Q0c). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble. send him a
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DR.. Pierce will report
to you without fee or charge.
NOTE. - "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor.
rector obtainable.

feed Is brought to the center and tho
manure is distributed from the out
side.
Straw is kept bright by housing It
overhead at threshing time and 1t is
made useful at feeding time by per-
hitting the cows to pick 1t over In
the hangers between feeds of silage
and clover hay. The mussed-over
straw is then passed back to the stalls
for bedding, and as it gradually
works farther back 1t absorbs liquid
manure, is carried out in the manure
carriers, dumped into a manure
spreader and hauled at once to the
field. This shows the practicability of
this kind of round barn to save labor
and utilize feed and bedding to the
best possible advantage.
The farm stable should be consid-
cred in the light of a manufacturing
establishment. Manufacturers in cit
les arrange their factories to admit
raw material at one end and to ship
the finished product from the other
end.
Good practice requires that the diff.
ferent processes of manufacture shall
follow each other in systematic or
der. Once started, charge OF raw
material advances at every step; it
is never permitted to go backward.
When farmers arrange their business
so that each step counts, instead of
turning back and walking around in
circles, then farmers become business
men in the best sense of the term.
Another advantage Of building COW
stalls in a circle is the fact that cat
tie, and especially dairy cows, are
wedge shaped.
The most convenient stalls are
wider behind than they are in, front,
and they fit the cows better. The
work among dairy cows is done at the
rear of the stalls. In using milking
machines considerable room is needed.
The use of milking machines is one
reason for placing the windows in the
rear Of the cows, so that the light is
admitted where it is most needed.
No other shape of barn offers so
many advantages for the same amount
of square foot area. There is quick,
easy means of feeding in the center
where little room is required; it pro

This Is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head Of the fnvalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,

in diameter, which gives capacity for
holding about 100 tons of silage. AS
the roof OF the barn reaches well up
toward the top of the silo there is
a domelike space which provides con-
siderable NOW room above the stable.
This large NOW is filled at haying
time by means of circular track
which is suspended from the upper
tier OF rafters.
The hay track car is so arranged that
it runs half way around from the hay
door, running in either direction ac-
cording to the way the switch is
turned. The hay car is propelled by
a draft rope which runs over pulleys
when taut.
When the load is dumped the slack
rope is then supported by rollers
which prevents it from becoming tan
gled or dropping to the hay below.
The foundation of this barn is of
concrete made by first excavating for
the foundation walls and piers to get
solid earth to prevent settling. The
grading is then done for the floor,
making the horse-stable floor level,
but the ground for the constable floor
is sloped away to drain properly into
the cutters. This work is better done
with water to settle the earth so it
will pack all solid together to give
an even support to all parts OF the
floor
The plan of the stable shows iron
stall partitions between the COW stalls
and wooden partitions between the
horse stalls. This distinction Is not
necessary, but it is customary.
Being a round barn with the silo
in the center, there is a round feed
ing alley built around the silo. Next
to the feeding alley is circular ce-
ment manger which extends half way
around. for the cows, and a wooden
manger built on the same circle on
the horse side.
Both the cows and horses face in
toward the center, so the feeding is
easily and quickly done from the cen
ter feeding alley.
Silage is let down through silage
shute; also hay and straw are put
down through the same shute, and
both are distributed to the managers
by a feed carrier truck mounted on
| heavy truck casters.
There are doors on two sides of
the barn, one of which is intended as
a stock door to let the cattle and
horses in or out; the other is wide
driveway door used when cleaning the
stable; also at silo-filling time.
BY this stable arrangement the

Round Steak a la Quin.

Cover slice of round steak (cut
about one and half inches thick)
with flour, and, using the edge of 8
plate or meat FOUNDER, pound as much
as possible into the meat. Melt two
tablespoonfuls of fat in baking pan;
brown the meat quickly on both sides
in this; sprinkle with salt and pepper
and cover with two cupfuls of water
or tomatoes, adding one or two sliced
onions. Cover closely and bake in a
slow oven for several hours, or until
the meat is tender throughout. This
is an excellent recipe for use in the
fireless cooker. Serve with tomato
sauce or alone with the gravy. This
may also be cooked very slowly on
top of the stove.
The Spectator. (Ozark, Ark.) 1911-1916, 1915-10-01

vides plenty of space at the rear for
attending to the cows and for remov-
ing the manure.
At the silo-tilling time the silage cut
ter is set in close to the silo in the
wide entrance part of the driveway,
so that the blower pipe stands verti-
cal in the usual way.
There is either an extension carrier
to bring corn sheaves in through the
driveway to the cutter, or a rope and
pulley is arranged to pull the loaded
wagon in backwards.
The stable in this barn is thorough
ly sanitary. The walls are built double
and are made alright by using build
ing paper and matched ceiling boards
without beading. Beading is objec-
tionable because it makes Just so
many more cracks to harbor bac-
terra.
The floor over the stable Ia made
of dressed and matched flooring, SO
that no dust from the NOW overhead
can sift through to clog the space be-
tween the joists.
Ventilation is provided by taking
cold air from outside through spe-
cially constructed air fiues which dis
tribute it near the ceiling OF the
stable. The foul air is removed by
means of ventilating fiues having out
take openings near the floor behind
the cows and horses. The foul air is
carried up through these flues, chin
neylike, and is discharged above the
roof.

ELEVATED RAILWAYs.


s The first elevated railway was
built in New Fork IN 1857 according
to the plans Of DIR. Rufus Henry Gill
bert, who was born at Gui1ford, N.
Y. eighty-three years ago today. The
inventor of the elevated railway syg-
tenn was originally a physician, and
served as a surgeon in the Union
army in the civil war, later becom-
ing superintendent and medical dir
rector of the United States army
hospitals. After the war he aban-
doned his profession and engaged in
the railway business, making a spe-
cial study Of the needs of rapid tran
sit in New z ork. The result of his
Iabors was the erection OF the
worlds 1irst elevated street railway,
the motive power being an endless
wireless cable This was found UNI
satisfactory, and steam, and after
ward electricity, were substituted as
motive powers. Ten years passed af-
ter the erection Of the experim entail
line before the elevated system came
into general use in New York Il
was later adopted by Chicago, Bog-
ton and other cities, and remained
the most effective method of rapid
transit until the building of under
ground railways.
