husky figure of woman, her hat es-
Gaping by two degrees the fashionable

lations at various points on her circum-

the hurrying, changing, scntllating
crowd below her. She seemed bored Just
plain bored.
Near her were two very much younger
members of her own sex fairly drinking
in the passing harmony of color and
form. At times the expression of their
pleasure and appreciation grew audible
Only then did the larger and apparently
more unfortunate of their species show
any signs of interest. Suddenly she
turned to them with movement that
threatened the downfall of whatever of
her habiliments were not visibly pinned
together. Her mouth was broadened into
a Disguised smirk.
Say, you like them ladies', don't you?
Well believe me, they got nothing on
me. Take all that stuff off. them and they
amt no better than me nor anybody. So
that's Fifth avenue, huh! Well, me for my
own little alley"
With that she shambled off in the direc-
ton of Sixth avenue, leaving two startled
young women graphing with a sudden
disconcerting ray of light.

STRAW SHED FOR LIVE STOCK
Satisfactory and inexpensive Method
Of Securing Ample Protection
for Farm Animals.

A stable that will protect from cold
weather and storms may he construct
ed with little expense when straw is
plentiful. Each COW, IL to be tied.
needs about fifty square feet of floor
space to allow for manger. feed alley,
place for her to stand and room to
get behind her for milking, cleaning,
etc. Young stock will need about half
as much space. A barn 16x90 feet or
one 32x45 will furnish room enough for
twenty cows and ten head of young
stock.
A straw shed for cattle should be
seven or eight feet high. The construc-
ton of such buildings is very simple.
Posts are usually set in the ground
eight to twelve feet apart, and strong
timbers put on top of these with poles
close enough together to carry the
straw on top of the timbers. Walls
\ are constructed by making two walls
>Swo or more feet apart and packing
kr&th straw. These walls may be made
poles, boards or woven wire, as de-
YEA.
Y Pgs will require fiom ten to IF.

N straw shed. Fifty hogs will re-
quire a shed about 2Ox30 feet in size.
1t is better to keep the hogs in a sep
arate building from the cattle. The
shed for hogs need not be more than
four or five feet high. 1t is advisable
TO make the walls tight using woven
wire, or something equally good, so the
hogs will not work out through the
wall.

GUARD AGAINST MUSTY OATS
When Fed Continuously There Is Like

Many state experiment stations are

CLEANING UP POTATO PATCH
Practical Plan to Rake Up and Burn
All Refuse Matter-Vines Tend
TO Perpetuate Disease.

After the spud crop has been har
vested II is wise idea to rake and
burn all the refuse matter Vines al
lowed to decay upon the land tend tc
perpetuate any bacterial disease that
may have been present upon the crop
during the growing season and the
potash is worth more than the germs
There is little fertility in the vines
and the danger Of communicating the
following seasons crop by harboring
disease is much greater than the val
ue of the vines for manurial purposes
The proper autumnal treatment is
to plow the land deeply and allow 1t
to remain in rough condition during
the winter in order that it may hold
all the snow which may fall and rap
idly absorb the rains. Rough earth
will not blow so badly as that which
is smooth. This plowing should be
done crosswise to the run Of the dig.

Along the coast in the early morn

hear the sailors and marine infantry

we see our men-of-war, their cannon

as to say, I'VE are waiting"
Behind the portfolios of the subma-
rine the sailors rush to and fro and
the sentries at the tanks keep silent
watch. their loaded rifles always
ready to shoot Short commands and
the Ginning of the signal bells put us
on our guard; the eyes of the men are
on the glass plate on which the com

mander moves the lever.
We are going now forward at full
speed TO meet our prey Hours and
hours pass and our boat is still above
