Double sliding doors are used in the
gable for placing hay In the NOW.
These doors are placed on slanting
tracks close up under the caves, where
they will be protected. Being on the
outside of the barn they are never in
the way and do not take up valuable
space in the NOW.
All the other doors into the stable
are Dutch doors, The upper and the
lower half open separately. The ad-
vantage Of this type of door is more
pronounced in the summer than in the
winter. In the summer the upper door
can be left open SO as to insure a
good circulation of air through the
barn, and the cattle or horses can be
kept inside without tying them up or
placing them In the stanchions.
The ventilation is taken care of in
the usual way for barn that is ar
ranged with the dairy cattle facing in.
Intake fues for the fresh air are
brought in with openings above and in
front of the cows. In back of each
row of cattle is an outtake flue that
passes up the wall and along under
the roof to the ventilator.
A litter carrier track is placed back
of each row of cows, and the track for
this passes out through the back Of
the barn to manure pit. The entire
floor of the COW stable is of concrete.
but often the horse part is made with
a-wood block or cork floor in the stalls
where the horses have to stand. Ell
Their type of floor is easy to clean, as
1t can be washed oat with hose after
the cattle have gone out.
The feeding arrangement in this
barn is compact and easily handled.
The silo is placed up close to the
back part of the barn and has chute
which empties the silage directly into
the feeding alley. From here it can
readily be placed in the hangers. which
are built of concrete the same as the
floor itself.
The horse stable Is separated from
the dairy barn part by wall with
three doors placed in it. Two of the

FIRE loss REDUCED
Report Shows Fewer Fires in
1915 Than Year Previous.
ABOUT $4,000 BELOW 1914
Although January 1915 Started OF
With Nearly $1,oo0.ooo Losses BY
Fire Year Proved Free From
Disastrous conflagrations

Des Moines.--Fire losses OF Iowa
were slightly reduced in 1915. COM
pared with 1914, according to the re-
port prepared by o. o. Roe, state fire
marshal.
The losses for 1915 were $5,76S,202.
In reaching this figure, the losses for
December were estimated at 100000.
The total fire loss in 1914 was So
S5S,9S5. The losses this year will show
reduction OF about $4,000, the fire
marshal says.
Although the reduction in fire loss
es OF the state seems small, Mr.. Roe
calls attention to the fact that the
number of fire producing agencies has
been steadily increasing. There are
$4,000 automobiles in the state and
nearly that number of barns or ga
RACES where gasoline is stored.
This gives good opportunity for
fires, the marshal says. Many OF the
smaller towns are growing, but the
fire protection is inadequate, the state
officials says. Some of the towns have
no water systems or departments with
which to fight fires. In the last month
reports were received of two fires
which virtually wiped out the business
district OF small towns.
The year 1915 opened bad as far as
fires were concerned. The losses for
January totaled almost 1000, 900. The
exact loss was s975,460. This broke
all records for the same period.
The month of December. which just
closed, showed heavy losses, follow
ing on November, which reported
losses of s749,S5O. The losses for De-
cember are estimated by Mr.. Roe at
100000. The reports will not be COM
plete until about Jan. Is. Burlington
and Davenport had big fires during
the month, which brought the general
loss for the state up past the half
million mark.
The 1914 fire loss was $433,000 less
than that for 1913. Therefore the loss
for 1915 will be more than half million
less than the loss for 1918.

TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns Of Az

The trade revival in Manitoba, SAT
katchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not myth. There is today h
spirit OF optimism in the air, Just 10
two years ago there prevailed the D.
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has ben
felt in every department of businessin
the Prairie Provinces. The agriSnl-
turists are in better shape than icy
have ever been before in their lies.
No farmers Of any country are in pet
ter financial condition and in a pore
general state Of prosperity than are
the farmers Of Manitoba, Saskache-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop Jhich
enriches them to the extent of Iome-
thing over s400.000,000.
In the cities the prosperity h the
country has been reflected. Every
where business is on the hustle The
wholesalers and the retailers nd the
implement dealers find busines good
The banks and other collectionhouses
find collections satisfactory, ami finan-
cial men declare that westeriers are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been lhe larg-
est In history. exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
In the history of the twin frts, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had BID year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
Gus years and taxing the capacity Of
these establishments, whost most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business donl
The tide has turned In w,stern Can
ada. The people of the West are
forging ahead, forging aheld in actual
production and in creation OF wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts. while going along carefully as
regards any creation of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
Ing. acting cautiously but mot misery.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
of the United States and Il Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstinedly Offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and it has been published to the'world.
The condition Of western Canada at
the close Of 1915 is one of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination Of western people to 60 on
increasing their produttiveness and
maintaining the record which they
have already established
