hlled to the peak, great weight is
added to the building and this neces-
states the construction of a good I'M
derpinning which will keep the build
ing square and plumb and will prevent
cracks in the concrete work. The en-
tire floor is made of concrete, with gut
tiers and hangers formed in it for the
COW stalls. The proper slope is CIV
en- all standing floors, and the feed
alley floor is raised slightly above
these.
The equipment Of the barn is such
as will eliminate all possible manual
work in doing the chores. Silage is
taken in a feed carrier down the feed
alley to the hangers, on either side,
from the small feed room at the end
Of the alley. A hopper is provided
in the feed room so that the material
is loaded directly into the carrier with
out extra handling. This carrier is
also used to take feed to the horse
hangers from the chute Litter is TAX
en- on two tracks from the litter al
or to the manure pile at the silo end
of the barn. Feed and litter carriers
are great help to the farmer and
they may be arranged in many ways
to greatly aid in establishing a sys-
tematic method of maintaining sani-
tary conditions.
The final point of importance In the
design of this barn Is the ventilating
system. The value of good ventilation
in dairy and horse barn can hardly
be overestimated. 1t is not only of
prime Importance in keeping the live
stock in the best of health, but it even
goes so far as to effect the amount of
feed which Is required to maintain the
stock. Foul air. robbed of its oxygen
content, Is not effective in keeping the
temperature of the animals up to the
normal value which Is required for
good health, and as result the cattle
and horses must eat more food to bring
up the temperature of their bodies.
Three sheet-steel ventilators are used
in the system installed in this barn.
me central Ventilator is used eXclu-
sively for the ventilation of the NOW.
Each OF the two end ventilators is con-
nected to two foul-air passages. These
passages are carried down the four
corners Of the barn to the stables.
Fresh air is guided into the barn In
such way that II is liberated at the
center near the heads of the animals.
This Is the only correct system OF
barn ventilation. Air when is al
lowed to float aimlessly around in q
barn will soon become stale and com.
taminated,.

zers, thus getting a second use out
Of it in raising a better crop and in
building up the farm. Thus we were
out the time in feeding the u, which
was not much, as all we had to do
was to stuff hay in the hangers
twice a day and salt them once a
week. Water was plentiful. The next
winter we fed them clover and cow
pea hay, also corn stover, no grain,
and they were in fine shape.
In the spring they had calves, of
which we kept the females and sold
the males. The calves were worth
more than the handling of the cows.
Then we had young, fresh cows for
sale, which after the sale brought over
$50 each. Before selling we bred to
our registered Jersey bull, which was
one of the best to be had.

clover, corn, oats and other crops

your soil.
The accompanying chart shows the
fertility contained in alfalfa, clover,
corn and oats in comparison with
milk, beef, pork and butter.
When you grow three tons of al
falfa, about the average acre yield,
and sell it, you rob your soil to the
amount of about $2S. When you mar
ket so bushels Of corn you lose about
SIS in fertility-value but If you feed
the corn and alfalfa to steer or a
hog or dairy COW, 70 to so per cent
of the fertility will be returned to
you in manure and go back to the
land If you save the manure. For
every 400 pounds Of beef, shipped
away the loss will be about $190 ;
900 pounds of pork about $1.S7; 100

Dairy Essentials.
The dairy business, too, calls for in
tellectual activity. Such exercise is
good for the boys and girls. The dairy
business evens up things on the farm.
1t gives steady employment. 1t is
cash business. A man feels independ-
ent when he knows that his income
is steady. Dairying builds up the
farm. IT. requires fewer acres and
consequently leads to more neighbors.
There is always an air of prosperity
about we'll handled dairy farm. The
dairy business adds permanency to
the community. The success of the
man engaged in it depends upon keep.
ing milk records. 1t costs but little
and returns a hundredfold. There are
good cows and poor cows. A farmer
should find out which are the poor
COWS and which are the good ones.
This can be done by marking down
what they produce each day, and u.s.
ing the Babcock test. Milk the good
cows and sell the Improbable ones
for beef.
"Feed what you raise, and raise
what you feed" has been the watch
word of the best farmers in America
for many years. 1t is the only safe
system.
Living on the farm means more
than most Of us realize. Not just to
live there, but to make it home.
Not Just to grow corn, wheat and al
falfa, but for the benefits that may
come to our homes and to our chill
dren through the things that we pro-
duce.
1t does not make much difference
how much wheat we raise or how
much corn we grow, but 1t does make
a tremendous difference what we do
with the profit that we get from the
corn and the other things that are
produced from the soil.
Farmer Was Power.
The pioneer American farmer Of
the nineteenth century was a power
In his day. He did we'll his work of
clearing away the forests. establish
ing homes, building roads and settling
the wilderness. And If he did not
cultivate and care for the soil as he
should have done, we cannot blame
him, because the need was not press
ing that day. 1t was not his problem
The care Of the soil is the problem
Of the farmer of today. He Is being
called upon for many things that are
real necessities. He must improve his
soil. He must not forget that Live
Stock and Legumes are the basis OF
Permanent Agriculture.

The Iowa Beef Producers associa-
ton carried on an investigation in
Iowa covering a period of five years.
Data was gathered from 20 Iowa
farms in nine different counties

duced as against &c bushels per acre
produced on ten average grain farms.
On ten average stock farms 80 bush

as against 80 bushels per acre on ten

One-Crop System.
A one-crop system will impoverish
any country, and in turn it will i'm
poverish the people that are on it's
farms. 1t is only through diversifica-
ton of crops and the using of our en-
ergies every day of the year, that we
can make rich country.
Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for system of crop
rotation with legumes. 1t returns fer
tility to the soil. 1t adds interest to
the work of the young people and
finally it is best insurance of an in
come. The kind of live stock depends
upon local conditions. First, the pref
erenCe of the farmer, second, the en-
vironment. Cows, hogs, horses, mules,
beef cattle and sheep, offer a large
range of choice and fit into many con-
ditions. Horses and hogs are found
on every farm and they become very
profitable to the man who under
stands them. Sheep raising and dairy
ing may be combined as one herd or
handled separately.
In either case they will be found
profitable. Varying combinations of
live stock may be found profitable.
Livestock farming requires de-
pendable feed supply. Silage and al
falfa are an excellent basis. Corn,
kafir, and other similar crops furnish
silage.
Each farmer should make bust
ness of growing his own beef as well

|ROGRESS|VES CONVENTION CONVENES
| A THREE PARTY RACE IS PROBABLE

CHICAGO. June THE progress
sive national republican convention
went wild for thirty-five minutes
today at the first mention of Roose-
velt's name on the platform. The
delegates cheered, waived banners
and pandemonium reigned supreme
when. Chairman Robbins named
Roosevelt as the greatest leader of
all time. THE nation is clamoring
for the one man. said Robbins,
"and that man is Roosevelt" At
the beginning of the Roosevelt dem
onstration New York, Pennsylvania,
North Dakota, Texas, and California
delegates seized their banners and
stacked them in front of the plat
form. where all state standards were
finally deposited.
Continuing, Chairman Robbins
said, What we want is the ma
tion's favored son. and not the son
of any favored state. We may
speak to our brothers In spirit" He
also asked for unity and American
ism and warned those easily influ-
enced not to surrender their prin-
ciples.
At 12:40 Chairman Murdock an
nounced the temporary chairman
Raymond Robbins. Governor John
son of California and Oscar Straus
of New York escorted Robbins TO
the platform. Murdock referred to
the progressives as christian soldiers.
The band struck up the tune and the
entire convention sang the song. Ey-
waved flags and pennants.
One lone delegate shouted, 1--WE
want Teddy"
The progresives tramped through
rain and flood to convention hall,
ready for war or peace at the wrong
time. The fireworks are expected
to start early Hasty conferences
are. preceding the opening, sched-
uled for noon. George w. Perkins,
chairman of the progressives and
chief factor in the peace movement
will oppose any premature nomina-
tion before a move Is made to get
together. A few hours before Per-
kins declared he was still hopeful of
an adjustment. Senator
Borrah talked with Roosevelt over
the telephone early today. 1t was
rumored that Borrah made Roose-
velt proposition offering the priv
ilege of debating the platform II the
colonel would support Hughes.
