On the larger farms 1t Is very nee.
essary to have room for tho horses
that are needed in the work during

during seeding time in the spring and
also during the fall plowing. Farmers

A litter and feed carrier track runs
through tho center Of the barn and
makes 1t an easy matter to keep every
thing clean. 30 that there Is no excuse
for allowing manure TO accumulate.
The track which handles the carriers
runs out through the sliding door in
the back OF the barn to manure Dit
or directly to the manure spreader
from where the manure Is taken to the
fields.
The frame OF the barn is supported
on good concrete foundation that fs
carried down to spread footings below
the frost line. The walls are also car.
ried "a inches above grade and the
studs are placed on top of this wall.
To protect the enal Of the studdiug
and prevent them from rotting they
are placed in studding sockets made
OF cast iron. These sockets are I'M
bedded In the concrete and present
one OF the best ways OF constructing
frame barn structures Holes are pro-

that they can be nailed to the upright
umbers. Post sockets are also pro-
vided for the double row OF posts that
run through the center OF the barn.
The construction Of the feed room
shows very careful attention to details.
The sliding door that shuts this room
on from the rest OF the stable Is
placed on al inclined track SO that il
is self-closing This prevents the
horses from getting into the Grain and
eliminates the possibility of someone
forgetting to close the door.
Above the stable Is a NOW that can
be used for the storing Of hay and
straw. The roof is of the self-support
ms sambrel type SO that large unob-
structed space is left In thls upper part
OF the barn. A dressed and matched
flooring is placed under this so that

PLANT YOUR HARDY GARDEN
NOW
BY z. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

A hardy garden is the garden for
the busy woman. 1t will last for years
and he delight to her and to her
neighbors with very little care.
Take a careful survey OF your re-
sources and make study Of your own
individual problem. Book taught"
gardeners may be all right up to
certain limit. but one seasons expert
pent along your own lines will give
you an insight into plant life that,
aside from being most fascinating
study. will teach you more than
years of reading.
Those who wish to plant roses and
not bother with them more than to
prune and fertilize annually and keep
tho ground mellow about the plants
should plant hybrid perpetual roses.
The hybrid perpetuals are the hardi-
est of roses and will stand more cold
weather than any other species.
The following are desirable speci-
mems: Anne de Diesbach. bright car
mine; Baroness Rothschild, an ex-
quisite pink: La France, blooms all
summer; Frau Karl Druschki, snow
white. has splendid buds and immense
flowers, four to five inches across, and
is delightfully."- fragrant; General Jac-
queminot. popular rose Of brilliant
red; Paul Neyron, lovely dark pink;
Gruss an Teplitz, a strong, vigorous
grower. of richest crimson; Killarney.
both pink and white, are hardy. and
Mrs. John Laing, q rose Of delicious
fragrance and of a rich satiny pink
color.
This list could be extended indefinite.
ly, but these are all tried and true va
rieties that will give you a world Of
bloom and be a picture worth looking
at.
A hardy border that Is triumph of
beauty and has been enjoyed for
years contains hollyhocks. phlox, lark
spur. foxgloye, iris. columbines, pinlss,
and sunfiowers. 1t is not so expensive,
figures up about six cents per square
foot, but arranged according to size
and color makes a wonderful show
ing.
Hardy roses require ordinarily good
garden soil, we'll enriched with we'll
rotted manure. They must have an
open, sunny position clear of the roots
of all trees aad shrubs. II is well to
prepare the bed few days before
planting to allow for settling. Ever
blooming roses should be planted IS

ais two feet apart. Roses should be

Savinq the Babies.

The 1915 death rate among tabies
one year old in st. Louis was tho
lowest of any year on record and is
among the lowest OF all the cities in
the country. according TO a report just
made public BY the st. Louis pure
milk commission. The death rate was
so in 1000, reduction from 2 rate of
lo3 In the previous year. The great
falling OF in deaths is held to be due
TO. first. the persistent campaigns of
the health department. the pure milk
commission and other social agencies
for the last fifteen years. together with
the enforcement OF the new pure milk
law during the past year, and. second.
to the unusually cool summer.
The Raymer enterprise., 1916-05-18

at least nine inches below the surface
Of the ground. the soil made firm about
them and then should be literally wa
tered.
Hollyhocks succeed best in rich.
well-drained soil. and should be light.
ly protected during the winter months
with coarse straw or spruce boughs.
Larkspur seed sown in the open
ground early will produce towering
plants By the beginning Of July. and
will give continuous succession OF
bloom from then until frost. It is ex.
cellent for cutting and very orna-
mental It produces In q great vari.
ETY. OF forms and colors some of the
most beautiful flowers in cultivation.
All varieties are easily cultivated and
adaptable to most conditions, but In
a soil deeply dug and well enriched
with fine old manure, their blooms are
the finest. Set from one and one half
to two feet each way.
Iris (feur-de-lis). the national
flower Of France, is another perfect
ly hardy plant. They grow In any Or
dinary garden soil luxuriantly, and
bloom In June. The German iris
should be planted largely where cut
flowers are in demand. as 1t certainly
is the best Of its class.
Perhaps the most snowy and gor.
geous of the iris family is the Japanese
iris. The flowers are often ten inches
In diameter and bloom In July. There
are many beautiful colors among both
iris. White family .tinged with Law
snder, light bronze, yellow and bright
blue. royal purple. grayish white, and
q pure white are among the colors
shown.
Phlox. another plant on our list, can
not be surpassed for brilliant color
ing and continuous bloom. Sow phlox
out Of doors in May, in a situation
well open to the sun. They will flow
er in July and continue until late In
the fall.
Old-fashioned Glove pink, and its
more elegant relation, the carnation,
flower SO easily as an annual that 1t
has attained most popular position
among garden plants. The beautiful
flowers make an attractive display
with their world OF color, and are
greatly to be desired as a table deco
ration and also as a border plant.
Pinks grow easily from seed and
come true to color. Sow out of doors
when danger from frost is over. II
the seed rs sown early enough the
perennials will bloom the first year.
There are great many other plants
that are hardy and desirable. this is
but a mere beginning. Choose the
flowers you are fond of and the work
will be more successful and more
pleasant. But have garden now, no
matter how small.

number of those who use the British
