A UNIQUE BARN


A 12-sided concrete barn and round
concrete silo are pictured and des-
cribed in detail in the July Farm and
Home. They were built by Memo
S. Yoder, progressive farmer of La
grange county, Ind. The barn cost
$3.50 for material purchased and for
hired labor. The labor of Mr.. Yoder
and his ons and the home-cut timber
used were worth $500, so $3.50 was
the real cost of the barn.
Yoder's barn is 12-sided. 1t is so
feet in diameter and each side is 16
feet long, making the barn 191 feet in
outside circumference. The walls are
solid concrete 80 feet high. They
are reinforced with 118 rods of No. 9
wire. At the sides of doors and win
dows and above them the walls are
further reinforced with old iron.
The doors at each end are SxS feet.
Each door is in two sections and any
thing from three-horse manure
spreader to an automobile can pass
through. There is hydrant on the
ground floor for watering cattle and
waste water is tiled out. Nearly all
woodwork about stalls and managers is
low down 50 it will not obstruct the
light. There are two long feeding al
leys, one on each side of the double
central stable. and outside of the feed
ing alleys the irregular-shaped space
is used for box stalls and calf pen.
A litter carrier operates on 60 feet
of track in the barn and a curve out
side of the door, and 7 feet of track
in the barnyard.
There are 81 windows in the barn
with 12x2O inch glass, four lights to
each sash. The lower windows, 18 in
number, have double-thick glass. All
windows are protected inside and out
side by heavy wire screens. The screen
frames are held in place by wool
screws, frightened up against the con-
crete.
The barn is So feet high from the
ground floor to the opening in the roof,
over which the ventilator cupola is
built. Iron rims Of old binder wheels
were put in for the ventilator outlet
and the upper end Of the long rafters
are bolted to these rims. A round hay
rack 30 feet in diameter, built accord
ing to Mr.. Yoder's own plans, has
been placed under the roof and is fit
ted up with a new hay-carrying out
fit that hoists the hay to any height
and runs to either side without any
track stop and without any change Of
ropes.

PLAN BIG POULTRY SHOW

Anticipating a much greater num-
ber of poultry entries than last year,
the directors of the Montana State
Fair are having the poultry building
remodeled and placed under one roof
for the coming exposition, which will
be held September 25th to 30th in
culsive. The changes will provide
much additional space, and are of a
permanent nature.
Various county poultry organiza-
tions as we'll as scores of individuals
throughout the state are preparing
to send their birds for the poultry ex-
hibits in an effort to capture some of
the valuable prizes that will be award
ed. Although the county and state
elbows held each year are largely at
tended and have fine exhibits, the di-
rectors Of the State Fair believe the
most representative poultry show ever
held in Montana will be seen at the
big exposition this fall.
The fair management has devised
an improved method of handling en-
tries which will greatly facilitate this
feature of the business. Entries close
in this department on September Goth,
and all who wish to enter are urged to
do so at an early date.
A total of $2,5l5 is set aside for
winning contestants, and prizes range
form fifty cents up. This equals the
amount offered by large eastern fairs.
The management makes this offer
with the hope that the Montana
breeders will show their birds, which
is the first step toward bringing
Montana to the front rank as pro-
lucer of good poultry.

Practical FQrn1inQ
Helpful Facts Gathered from Reliable Sources
OfLnterest to Montana Farmers :: :: :: ::
HOW TO BUILD A STACK

Practice is necessary to acquire the
knack of stacking bundles. About Is
feet is the ideal diameter for grain
stacks, says M. Coverdell in Farm and
Home. In larger stack the sweat
ing process is delayed, the stack runs
up too high and a poor topping out
may result.
To build round grain stack start
in eke field. Jam the butts of the
bundles down solidly against the
ground. This gives a firm founda-
ton and protects the grain from the
damp earth. If the stack is built on
sloping ground, the lower side should
be built up even with the other at
once. The stack must go up evenly
or the bundles will slip.
After laying the foundation and
seeing that it is level, raise the cent
er slightly higher than the outer edges.
Beginning at the outer edge lay a
circle of bundles, heads toward the
center, the shorter straws of the bun
dies up, to shed water.
The second circle of bundles should
be laid so the butts will reach about
to the point where the firs: bundles
are bound. i Ihc third should lap ov!r
to the same point on the second row
and 50 on, toward the center of the
stack. When the center Of the stack
is reached, return to the edge and
proceed as before.
Each bundle should be pressed firm
ly in place as it is laid and hat part
above the band may be trarapei, but
never step on the butts. Bulge the
stack merely by extending the bItus
very slightly and gradually. Keep
the center little full and top out as
in any other stack, spreading long
sheaves over the top to form a cap

TREND OF CLUB WORK
Development of Social Side of Rural
Life Prominent Feature Of Club
pPOie.ta

IN the early development of the ag-
ricultural club work the financial pos
sibilities were usually stressed and
large cash prizes were offered to in
duce young people to enter into and
complete various phases of club work.
This method of creating interest has
fallen into disfavor. The tendency
has been to present the work on it's
merits. The desire on the part of
club leaders and other extension work
ers is that the members enter the
work for the benefits to be derived
The Glasgow courier., 1916-08-04

rather than in the hope of winning
a large cash prize.
The agricultural papers of the coun-
try have published the financial side
of the work. The school authorities
,re more and more appreciating the
educational value of practical agri
culture. Many educators, who know
the great need of rural children for
chool training that will fit them for
;heir environment-life on the farm
turn to the agricultural club work
as one of the means of vitalizing the
work of the rural schools-especially
hose schools that are attempting to
teach agriculture without adequate
laboratory equipment. Such educat-
ors see in club work means to the
nd that the home farm of the stu
lent becomes an efficient working lab
oratory without the expense to the
school system. They have been con-
sinced that the schools that are active
n club work are in general the most
efficient schools. and that the pupils
Agaged in club work are not only
he best behaved but that their schol-
arship grades are much higher than
those of the nonclub members. This
comes from the fact that the neces-
sal 'ry motive is offered and the heart
interests of the children are engaged.
AS result the school work and the
home life of the members are tit |
up very closely and the relation be-
tween the two is more firmly cement
ed. Club work is an important spoke
in the wheel of vocational training
which is rapidly being rolled to the
forefront of educational endeavor.
The social side of club work is
more and more to receive the atten-
tion it's Importance merits. The club
groups in practically every State of
the Union are holding regular month
ly meetings under the direction of
some mature and experienced leader
Gin many cases school teachers). Of
ficers elected from the club member
ship preside and carry on the meeting
according to parliamentary law. The
programs together with references
and suggestions are furnished to the
club, each month by the State agent.
Each member reports the progress Of
his or her work. Timely articles of
instruction are presented by the men,
bers and by experienced adults. In
most fthe Northern and Western
States the club meeting is divided into
| three sections: First business; Sec
ond, subject matter program; and,
third, the social program, suggestions
being furnished by leaders on all
three phases. AS a rule, 80 minutes
are used, giving 20 minutes to busi-
ness, 40 to the subject matter, and 30
to the social interests. The local
leader is always present at these
meetings to advise and direct when
necessary
The association with each other and
with those taking part in the club
program causes the members to wear
off the rough corners of their social
side. The individualistic tendency
of the rural people is thus weakened
and the way to rural cooperation and
organization is paved. Strictly So
cial meetings ,picnics, field days, etc,
are held at various times. Thus, the
club work tends to take an increasing
ly important part in the development
of the social side of rural life.

 manager Of the AIa-ka Gastineau mine at Juneau, lawyers who specialize in per sonal damage suits are creating such trouble for the mine operators of Alaska that in some instances they are actually hamperjng the development of the country, he says The personal damage specialists have con ceivcd the iGea of filing suits against the foremen of the mines for trial in various parts of the United States the farther away from Alaska the better, said Mir Thane He has just finished trying a per sonal damage suit fled against Paddy ONeil formerly of the Gaatneau, who left the employ two years ago. The case against the company had already been ad- indicated in Alaska. Seven suits have been filed against the foremen of the Treadwcll groups of mines and three suits are to be tried not in Alaska, but in Minneapolis.

FAMOUS ALASKA MUSHER
 HAS MADE HIS LAST HIKE

Seattle Post -InteIligencer, May 3l)
 'Tommy' King champion dog musher of Alaska. is out of the game forever, lie will sing out no more the cry of the trail to tugging straining, yelping malan!utes. "Tcmmy' King reached Seattle yesterday from Chicago. pr. J. B. Murphy, one of the worlds most eminent surgeons, toli Tommy" there that he would be lame for life Dr. Murphy told him he should say indoors whenever the thermometer dropped below zero But the call of the North has proved too strong, too irresistible, too lur- ing for "Tommy." He is going back to Fairbanks on the next boat.
 In the annals of the sourdough, however, there is one record that will hold for many years. It is a record of daring, of courage, of faith, record of achievement of a sort that tries the elemental man. Since the days of the kl0ndike, when he first went northWard. King has mushed over 5O,00O miles behind dog teams he has been in every nook and corner of the vast eX panse of Alaskan hills and valleys and plains, on nearly every kind of an errand, from the pure humanitarian to the most speculative of commercial missions.
 tommy hlnS Has nullS up TSCOlu that Alaskans can shoot at for many win ters to come.
 Last summer, when the dogs were in their kennels for the snowless season, ''Tommy' took job in Fairbanks store. He wheeled trucks, rolled barrels and packed merchandise from one part of the store to another One day he happened too close to the open shaft of the freight elevator, with the result that he fell to the floor below, distance of some twenty five feet They picked him up, carried him to the hospital and found out that his hip bone had been fractured It was serious injury and King decided to come "Outside'' for the best surgical attendance it was possible to get in the country. He heard the verdict in a Chicago hospital a week or so ago.
 During the winter of 1910-11, one of the most severe that Interior Alaska had ever witnessed, "Tommy' established record for endurance on the trail. He ''mushed" during that winter between Fairbanks and Iditarod, and it is 600 miles between the two camps as the mushers go. He made several smaller trips, one to Tolovana from Fairbanks and another to Nenana from the Panama metropolis.
 On one of these round trips Tommy" came nearer to losing his life than he ever
