not be content with knowing what Is
to be done today, but he must know
what follows tomorrow and the next
day and the next. Farming is every
day becoming less and less an "easy-
go-lucky" life, suitable for the man
who is too lazy to do anything else
and 1t is becoming a systematic bust,
ness requiring careful planning and
alert attention to details.
The modern farmer has already rec
/ ognizezd the fact that he cannct work
/ without the tools of his trade, ana he
las set about finding the best way to
/ 10 the man ytasks Of farm life with
| the minimum expediture of manual
effort. The result is expressed in the
many farm implements and devices
which have during recent years been
| placed upon the market. Time which
may be saved by the use of machinery
Is time which may be devoted to more
careful planning and the establishment
Of more perfect organization in the
system Of management which governs
the farm work.
Not only is the creative genius Of
he farmer directed toward the inven-
ton and Improvement Of machines to
help him in his daily work, but he is
called upon to work out the proper de-
sign and arrangement of farm build
lngs which viii keep pace with the
modern methods of farming and the
latest practice in ventilation and sani-
tation. 1t is true that every farmer
cannot be an inventor but it is the
farmer in general whose needs are re-
sponsble for the effort which is made
to produce these improvements, and
his suggestions are very often the en-
bodiment Of the ideas which make
them possible.
All progressive farmers who realize
that this call is being made upon their
ability to produce the Improvements
necessary for the advance of modern
methods in farming, even though they
cannot offer anything themselves, are
affected by the spirit of the thing.
They are alert to see that which is
beneficial and they are enthusiastic in
their adoption of the new ideas which
they consider steps in advance.
Even the farmers who own only
small tracts of land are findinguse for
the latest types of harvesting ma
chinery, gasoline power for pumps and
other devices requiring moderate
amounts of power gas and other light
Ing systems, hot and cold water in
their houses, and. all sorts of modern
barn equipment. They are replacing
their older buildings for new ones of
the more modern type and they are
paying more attention to sanitary con-
lltiOns and ventilation in their live
stock-housing quarters.
At this time of the year many farm
srs are looking forward to the winter
months and are building new barns
which will provide them with the best
possible means Of housing their cows
and horses in quarters equipped In
such a way that healthful conditions
may be maintained without excessive
labor. Those who have found the wis
dom of feeding ensilage have usually
had their new silo constructed and
oiled on the site Of the proposed barn.
The favored structure Is a cOmbna-

ton dairy and horse barn such as Il
shown In the Illustrations.
This particular structure ls 30 feet
Ia width by 90 feet In length and fur
nishes stabllng for "a cows and seven
horses. II Is designed according to
the latest practice In farm-bulding ar
chitecture. The width Is based upon
the proper size Of stalls for the cows,
together with correct allowance for
feed and litter alleys. Since the horse
stalls are placed crossways of the barn
they do not enter into the determina-
tion OF width. Eight feet of clear Aead-
room Is allowed over the COW stalls,
and nine feet over the horse stalls.
These values are based upon what Is
considered correct from standpoint
of ventilation.
The whole foundation is of concrete
with footings and piers reaching down
10 solid ground, below frost level, and
firmly embedded 10 prevena settling,
When the NOW above the stables Is
filled TO the peak, a great weight is
added to the building and this neces-
states the construction OF a good un-

cracks In the concrete work. The en-
tire floor Is made Of concrete, with gut
ters and hangers formed In II for the
COW stalls. The proper slope Is Civ

alley floor is raised slightly above
these.

as will eliminate all possible manual

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chin Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but inflamed condition of the

Our readers should bear in the mind
the big Fair to be given at Tallulah
next Wednesday, Thursday and FRI
day. The NJ, H. & L. is offering round
trip rates at one and one third regular
fare. We presume the locals will wait
at Tallulah each day until 6 O'Clock
p. m. to take visitors home, both north
and south, as was done last year.
However, we have no notice from the
road, or from the Fair Association of
the perfection of this arrangement.
LATER Since the above was placed
in type a phone from Hon. JEFF B
Snyder advises that the above sched-
ule has been arranged with the rail
road by the Fair Association.
The Fair Association has secured the
services of the Rice & Quick Amuse-
ment Co. and the Darden Amusement
Co. for the three days of the Fair, and
flying horses and daily balloon ascen-
sions with triple parachute leaps will
be included in the varied attractions.
Two bands nave been engaged whi Oh
will discourse music by day and by
night. The opening ball is scheduled
for Wednesday night, to be followed
by another ball on Thursday night,
following the picture show when the
great screen production, "The Battle
Cry of Peace" will be shown at the
Lyric Theatre. Friday has been des-
ignated as "Negro Day." when the
Fair will be given over entirely to the
colored population. 1t is impossible
to mention all of the MANY attractions
that have been arranged for the
amusement and entertainment of the
guests. All we ask is that our people
attend the Fair and see for themselves
and we are sure they will be well re
paid for the trouble and expense OF
going.
