part is in the main building. The two
parts can be separated by solid par
tition IL desired
The arrangement of the COW stalls
Is in two rows, which are built on the
facing-out principle. The choice of
either this or the facing-in plan is
entirely question of personal choice.
There are several advantages of each
arrangement One of the main advan-
tages that is claimed for the arrange
ment shown here Is the fact that
most of the work Is done behind the
cows. and by having one litter alley
the manure Is concentrated. which
makes the work of cleaning up the
barn much easier. There is also the
advantage of having all the milking
done along the same alley. 1t is
much easier to keep the walls clean in
this arrangement, as all the litter is
in the one alley and does not spatter
on the walls.
The stalls are set with the floor on
a slant so that they can be washed out
and will drain into the cutters behind.
The floor of the horse stable is made
level and the concrete In the stalls Is
often covered with planks or made
with wood blocks so that the horses
will not slip This is not necessary
In the COW part of the stable. as cows
do not slip on concrete as readily as
horses.

era In Bridge BUILDING.

Introduction Of the semielliptical
arch in bridge building in England
met with complaint on behalf of the
Tweedside people. because the road
way over 1t being almost level, as one
old man said You did not know
when you were on ii and when you
we're off it." The first iron arch con.
structed was made in England at Coal
brookdale by one Darby. The bridge
consists Of one semicircuiar arch. 100
foot span. each of the ribs being cast
in two pieces only. 1t was opened for
traffic in 1879. and a new era in the
art of bridge building was thus en-.
tered upon. Up to 1860 cast iron was
predominant in bridge construction,
and although 1t is believed that
wrought iron was introduced before
1900 1t does not appear to have beer
used before 1860

Good light is most essential In q
farm building Of any kind and espe-
cially in dairy barn. There is al.
ways a good deal of work to be done
in this type of barn in addition to the
regular work that is done in every
barn Any barn has to be cleaned at
regular intervals. and the milking has
to be done, also. in dairy barn. Elec.
trio or acetylene lights are often pro
vided, but If II is not necessary to use
these all the time the cost of running
the building will be reduced. The
first cost of windows is practically the
only cost, as they are very seldom
broken After they are once in place
they are a permanent asset to the
barn and aid materially In reducing
the light bills If enough of them are
provided
Windows also have another advan

secure the best kind of sanitary con

CHIEF OBJECTS IN PRUNING
stantial Framework to Hold
Up Leaves and Fruit.

The objects of pruning are: To
make the tree into what might be
called a substantial framework with
which it is to hold up the leaves and
fruit, 70 cause it to have symmetri-
cal shape. to renew the fruiting wood.
to remove crossing and diseased and
broken branches. to thin the top so
as to allow free circulation of air
through 1t and to keep the tree as
low as possible so as to facilitate
pruning. picking and spraying.
In young trees care should be taken
to have the main branches come out
from all sides of the tree and each
from different height. The crotches
will all be strong then.

RIGHT SYSTEM FOR ORCHARD
Before Ordering Fruit Trees Arrange
ment Should Be Carefully Fig
ured Out on Paper.

berorc Oroerfnq Fruft Trees Arrange
ment Should Be Carefully Fig
ured Out on Paper.
Before ordering trees for an orchard
plantation determine carefully the
acreage and the system to be adopted
in planting the trees. 1t will make a
great deal of difference whether the
trees are set in rectangular. hexag-
onal or quincunx form. The most
common system of these is the rec
tangular. In this system the square
or rectangles are easily cultivated.
However. this does not give as many
trees to the acre as other systems and
they are not equally distributed over
the land.
The hexagonal system means that
tie trees are set out six trees in a
circle with the seventh tree in the
center When set out this way the
trees are equally distant In every d.
rection and the trees use equally the
ground and air space, so as to pro-
vide splendid distribution.
The quincunx system is desirable
when filters are be used. 1t means
planting In squares or rectangles and
putting filler In the middle so as to
provide for five trees in the square.
When the orchard is mature the mid
die tree can be taken out. This will
bring 25 per cent more trees to the
acre than by the rectangular system
and lends itself very nicely to the
filler system.
Take a piece of paper and figure the
arrangement all out before setting the
orchard. DO not plant trees at such
q distance that when 1t comes time
to thin them out the trees will be too
far apart. Make careful study of
the work at first and 1t will help very
much.

LOCAL SHAMS ARE
PROPERLY EXPOSED

Everybody familiar with the social
life OF every city from Atlantic to
Pacific knows the social shams which
come OF false standards usually asso-
ciated with wealth and ambition. But
probably never mas this familiar de-
feet OF our American life been so
boldly and effectively laid before the
gaze of all as In tho William Fox
photodrama. Hypocrisy" In which
that Southern beauty, Virginia Pear
son, is leading woman, and which Is
tomorrow nights attraction at the
Ely theater.
The picture play Hypocrisy" tells
with forceful moral just what makes
so-ealled high society really SO low In
many OF its phases. 1t lays bare the
vices of social ambition. marriage for
anything but love, mems business
race for gold, women's climb to social
glory and all the dangers of gam
bling whether in stocks and bonds or
at the fashionable bridge"
Miss Pearson as the wife OF a man
of the world" in her film life in "Hy-
pocrisy" goes through with an unhap-
by result all of these stages. Her
husband and lover are money mad,
and she has a failing for bridge which
leads her into debt. Her love of
dress leads her deeper into that In
debtedness which the poor do not
know. The picture shows the truth
In the tradeepeople's axiom, 1T Is
only the poor who pay their bills"
The basis of the play was taken
from New York life. where probably
Americas money-mad and social
| climbing race is most completely &C
centuated. But 1t applies as well to
the unwritten histories OF every town
of n size. to those stories OF social
disgrace which are whispered from
a to ear among the city's upper
class and which are known but never
printed In every newspaper office In
the land. Only seldom. when a di-
yorce suit or sudden crime brings
them into the courts. do the common
folk OF every day life realize how
lucky they are to possess the virtues
of poverty and homely simplicity. In
Hypocrisy all Will have a chance
to see society as 1t really is: not all
bad, for society is human, but not as
its pose and sham and blum leads sc
many to think IL Is.
