Dairy Barn. Showing the sesupporns
(By w. D. NICHOLS.)

(By w. d. NICHOLS.)
Experience has shown that elab-
rate and costly barns are not neces-
sary for permanence, sanitation, COM
fort of cows, or convenience in the
production of clean milk. Money in
vested in elaborate barns is seldom
recovered when the farm is sold
Some of the most expensive barns
have been the most inconvenient and
impractical. In many cases this is
due to the fact that they were planned
by city architects knowing little or
nothing of the operations necessary in
handling COWS and milk. In building
such barns, display and fancy appear
ance are often the first consideration.
Ordinarily the building Of a barn
is an event which occurs very seldom
in the life Of farmer and for this
reason great deal Of thought and
study should be given before begin
ming the project. By careful planning,
the labor of caring for the cows may
be reduced one-half.
Many mistakes may be made in
building a barn and frequently these
are not discovered until it is too late
to correct them. Mistakes in arrange
ment may compel a great many I'M
necessary steps and require work to
be done at great disadvantage, day
after day, year in and year out. Mis-
takes may be made in the location of
the silo in the placing of doors, or
in the dimensions of platforms, gut
tiers, passageways and alleys, and the
location of posts. These details
should all be considered beforehand
and such mistakes avoided.
The cost of the barn should be in

KILL HOG LICE BY
USE OF petroleum
Spray Pump Will Coat One Hog
in Few MinuteS-PenS Should
Be Scraped Out.

A quick and economical way to
kill hog lice is to spray each hog
with crude petroleum. The back, un.
der the legs and around the head
should be well coated. If the crude
petroleum cannot be had use coal oil
or kerosene emulsion. To make the
emulsion dissolve one pound of hard
soap in four gallons of hot water. Re-
move the soap solution from the fire
and pour in two gallons of kerosene
and stir vigorously for ten minutes.
When il is to 5e used mix one quart
Of the emulsion with six quarts of wa
ter, stir thoroughly and then apply.
A spray pump will coat one hog in a
few minutes. The pens should be
scraped out, then washed with hot
soapsuds, and when dry coated with
quicklime. Lice will prevent growth
and a dirty pen will breed lice. To
cleanse the skin after the hog has
been oiled, wash with warm water
and carbolic soap, use stiff brush;
after washing rub dry. A clean hog
will take less feed to make growth.

Money invested in dairy barn should
be required to pay at least 10 per
cent a year. This Is necessary to
cover interest, depreciation, taxes, in
surance, etc. Thus Il $1,000 were in
vested in barn to house 20 cows.
500 a year would have to be charged
for barn rent. This would amount to
S. per head. If milk Is sold at an
average price of Is cents per gallon,
33 1-3 gallons of the yield of each COW
would be required to pay rent on the
stall which she occupies.
A good business farmer seldom puts
more than $50 per COW in a dairy barn.
for much less. Wealthy men some.
times build barns which cost 81 900 to
1900 per COW. If rent were charged
for cows for use Of these buildings II
would amount to 500 to $3.50 a year
for each COW. Such expense, of course,
makes 1t utterly impossible to secure
profits from such dairies even with the
most economical methods Of feeding
| and management.
Sometimes too little money is in
vested in dairy buildings, in which
case undue labor is required in tax
ing care of the cows. Work is often
done at a great disadvantage, as, fol
instance, when silage must be car
ried to the cows in baskets. Dairy
work must be done twice day, every
day in the year, and slight fault In
arrangement may mean large
amount of extra work in a years time

DETAILS COUNT IN
The SHEEP FLOCK
Allowing Ewes to Clean Up Fields
Is of Observation-Disclosures
Need Exercise.

During the early part OF the winter
the man who Is keeping breeding ewes
should let them get full value from
the stalk fields and wheat fields.
While they are picking this feed they
will get exercise at the same time.
The raising Of sheep is profitable IL
the details are. handled properly. AL
lowing the ewes to clean up the fields
is important. The breeding eve re-
quires exercise-she must have it,.
II is advisable to have the fields fenced
dog and sheep proof. Then there will
be no annoyance from incoming dogs
or escaping sheep.
Silage Is used by many farmers as
feed for breeding ewes with good
success. 1t is fed in quantities rang
ing from one and half pounds up
ward. Uusually two pounds a day
per animal should be sufficient. Care
must be exercised to see that the sill.
age is not nodded or sour. Cases Of
abortion, Indigestion, etc., frequently
result from feeding sour or moldy sill
age. Frozen silage should never be
fed. The eve requires good treat
ment. Usually half a pound of grain
per day Is sufficient until after the
lamb comes. Oats and bran should
form the greater part of the grain
ration. Oil meal in quantities which
do not produce too much of laxative
effect gives good results. Ewes ap-
preciate a variety Of feed. Alfalfa
hay, cowpea hay, etc., make a good
dry roughness for them.

for the 40 men ashore. but put about

begins another chapter that is even
more fascinating to the lover of adven-

And so the great naval duel passed
from our sight, wired an eye witness,
"and we could turn our attention to
the portion of the German crew that
had been left behind. These men had
put off in their boats, obedient to the
signal of the siren, but when their ship
steamed off without them they could
do nothing else but come ashore again.
On relanding they lined up on the

seen or heard of them since"
1t was all as fine and colorful as in
more reminiscent old days when men
fought with smooth bore guns behind
the walls of their bandbox ships, their
bulwarks dashed to those of the enemy,

PRESERVING EGGS
IN SALT SOLUTION
Interesting Result Of Tests Given
by German NeWspaper-Any-
one Can Try Scheme.

A German paper gives in substance
the following, as a result Of certain
tests where the eggs were placed in a
saturated solution of common salt:
"A fresh egg lies in horizontal po-
sition at the bottom of the vessel; an
egg from three to five days old shows
an elevation of the fiat end so that its
long axis forms an angle of 20 de-
grees. With an egg eight days old
the angle increases to As degrees;
and with one fourteen days old to 60
degrees, and with one three weeks
old to rs degrees, while an egg one
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end"
Anyone can try this. A scale must
be attached to the outside of the yes
eel TO determine the angles.

Facing Desperate Situation.
AS the lone little party of 40 stand
staring out at sea and listening to the
diminishing sound of the battle they
look back at the employees of the
cable station, the new British inhab-
itants, all of whom they have treated
with respect. Myriads of sea fowl
frigate birds, boobies and terms from
the neighboring uninhabited islands
wheel and scream challenges In the
air. The afternoon wanes and there
is no return Of the Emden or the men
of the Sydney. BY now the little party
begins to fear that the victory had
f-llen to the Australian ship with its
longer range guns. They will be COM
ing back-but the 40 men cannot fight
the crew of a big cruiser. They must
get away. But where? How?
True seamen feel safest with the
tossing deck under them-no matter
what sort of deck. At the shore, her
keel hung heavy with tropical sea
weed and her weather bleached rig
ging almost as white as dead mems
bones, was the crazy old schooner
Ayessa, perhaps a relic of the pearl
fisheries, perhaps worn out in the
cocoanut trade. With extreme polite.
ness. doubtless, the young officers in
quire and learn that she belongs to
Mr.. Ross, the "uncrowned king"
"The Uncrowned King" Of Cocos.
They have heard of Mr.. Ross, as
what sailor man of these seas has
not? He is descendant of the Scotch
man, J. Ross, who two or three years
after Alexander Hare, the English ad-
venturer, came in 1928, settled on the
southern island. Ross had command
ed a brig during the English occupa-
ton of Java. He settled here with his
family (who continued the occupation)
on Direction island, and his little col
ony was soon strengthened by Hare's
runaway slaves. The Dutch govern
ment, had, in All informal way,
claimed possession OF the islands since
1929; but they refused to allow Ross
to hoist the Dutch flag, and accord
ingly the group was taken under
British protection in 1856. In 1878 it
was attached to the government of
Ceylon, and in 1882 placed under the
authority of the governor of the
Straits settlements. The ownership
and superintendency continued in the
Ross family, of whom George Clunies
Ross died in 1910 and was succeeded
by his son Sydney.
So the old rattletrap schooner sleep
ing at the jetty on the edge of the
coral lagoon belonged to him, and he
was the "uncrowned king" and
