A litter and feed carrier track runs
through the center of the barn and
makes it an easy matter to keep every
thing clean, so 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 a manure pit
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 is
carried down to spread footings below
the frost line. The walls are also car
ried "a inches above grade and tho
studs are placed on top of this wall.
To protect the ends of the studding
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-
vided in the sides of the sockets 80
that they can be nailed to the upright
timbers. 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
off from the rest OF the stable is
placed on an inclined track so that 1t
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 NOV that can
be used for the storing Of hay and
straw. The roof is of the self-support'
ing gambrel type so that large unob-
structed space is left in this upper part
of the barn. A dressed and matched
flooring is placed under this so that
no dust or chatf will fall down into the
stable.
A vertical sliding hay door is pro-
vided which does not take up any valu-
able room and cannot be torn off It's
hinges by the wind. Sliding doors
are a great convenience for this pur-

a short distance from Weimar. His
family consisted of his wife. four sons
and the daughter Bertha. Two OF the
sons attended school at Weimar; the
eldest, Herman, assisted in the mill,
and the fourth was the baby. All the
Yungers were industrious and econom.
zeal, and highly respected throughout
the countryside. Ludwig had but one
weakness, and that was hunting.
Whenever possible he took his gun
and went TO the woods, and his COM
panion on such expeditions was an
elderly man named Langoltz, who was
a notorious poaeher.
In the summer Of 1877 the water be-
hind the dam was low, and there wac
not enough power to run the mill
steadily, so Ludwig decided to have
the machinery thoroughly overhauled.
So he engaged an expert machinist
named Reinhardt. who was a stranger
in the neighborhood. Reinhardt board
ed with the. Yungers, and soon became
q favorite Of the family. He had
fought in the recent war. and had
many good stories to tell. He was
good to the children, and excellent
company for them all. But he was ex-
tremely reserved about his own his
tory. and little was known about him.
even when he had been in the neigh
borhood for weeks.
This was the condition Of affairs at
the oil mill tefore the FIRE. That fire
destroyed the house and barn, and part
of the mill itself; and when the star
tied neighbors and the authorities had
investigated everything, they con-
froEted a battling mystery. There
were the bodies Of Frau Yunger and
Herman. They had been murdered

their house was found a quantity of
gold coin to which their title was not
clear. They both protested their inno-
cence when arrested, but the old man
practically confessed by committing
suicide in his cell. His dead body was
found swinging behind the door when
the jailer entered his cell. the morning
after his arrest.
For a time the younger Langoltz
stuck to his story. to the effect that he
knew nothing Of the murders. And
still the fate of Reinhardt and Ludwig
remained mystery. But the solution
came in October, two months after the
crime. A farmer, blowing one OF his
fields. turned up . human hand. Then
he got a spade and dug and turned up
the bodies Of the two missing men,
They had both been shot. and the ma
chinist's head had been beaten in.
When Langoltz learned Of this dis
covery, and was accused Of the muir
der, he broke down and confessed the
whole story, only trying TO throw the
responsibility on his father. The two
Of them had learned Of the money
Yunger had drawn from the bank, and
determined to have It. But they were
afraid to try robbery at the house
while all the members Of the family
we're at home; so they went TO Yunger
and Reinhardt and told them OF deer
they had seen, and invited them to go
along and try to get 1t. Always eager
for that variety OF sport, Yunger glad
ly agreed. and induced Reinhardt to go
along. When they reached secluded
place, the two poachers Jagged behind
and shot their victims from the rear.
Ludwig dropped dead, but Reinhardt
was only wounded. whereupon the
elder Langoltz dubbed him to death.
Then they buried the bodies, and went
back and robbed the house, after STAY
ing the mother and son.

Saving the Babies.

The 1915 death rate senong babies
one year old in st. Louis was the
lowest of any year on record and is
among the lowest Of all the cities in
the country. according to report just
made public by the ST. Louis pure
milk commission. The death rate was
so in 1000. reduction from a rate Of
1903 in the previous year. The great
falling of in deaths is he'd 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 mill
Law during the past year. and. second
to the unusually cool summer.

1t was a hot August night in 1877,
and Herr Weidig of Vogelsberg,
couldn't sleep. He lay in bed abusing
the climate, and wishing morning
would come. Thus being wide awake,
he lost no time when he heard fran
tic rapping at the outer door. He put
his head out OF the window and be-
held little girl at the door beneath
him.
"Himmel!" he cried; IF that is not
little Bertha Yunger, with nothing on
but her shirt. Was list los, mein Kind?"
Little Bertha, in a panic of terror,
gasped out that her mother and broth
or we're murdered, and the house burn
ing down. Herr Weidig looked away
in the direction of the Yunger home
and saw red glare, growing stronger
every moment. He lost no time, but
alarmedsthe village, and in short
time every villager able to walk was
headed for the fire. Arrived there
some of them rushed boldly into the
burning house, and rescued the baby,
sleeping calmly in his crib. And in
doing so they stumbled over two dead
bodies, that of Mrs. Yunger and her
eldest son.
Ludwig Yunger was a prosperous
man. He owned the Spring Oil Mill,
close to the village of Vogelsberg, and

was discovered that Ludwig had drawn
large sum of money from the bank
the day before the fire. Perhaps, in
collision with Relnhardt, he had left
the country and abandoned his family.
But there was no reason why he
should murder his wife and son, even
If he did that So one theory after an
other was taken up and abandoned,
and meanwhile every square foot of
the countryside was being searched for
evidence.
And 1t throws an interesting light
upon circumstantial evidence as an in
stitution that the belief in Reinhardts
guilt grew into certainty, and every
thing the man had said and done since
his coming to the neighborhood be-
came proof, as of holy writ, that he
was the malefactor. Everybody re
membered something which, in the
light of the murders, demonstrated his
evil intentions. Had Bertha remained
in her disturbed mental condition, 1t is
almost certainty that the truth would
never have been known.
But Bertha regained her faculties
under the wise ministrations of the
physicians, and when she was able to
speak the cloud was lifted from Rein
hardts reputation. She had seen her
mother and brother murdered, and the
slayers were Langoltz and his son.
Her father and Reinhardt had gone
away from home early in the evening,
and the rest of the family retired at
the usual time. Bertha heard a knock
at the door and went to the head OF
the stairs to see who the visitor was.
Her mother opened the door, and there
stood Langoltz. He struck her down
with dubbed gun. Herman, hearing
the noise, emerged from his bedroom
and started down the stairs, when
Langoltz shot him. Then the poacher
entered the house, went to Ludwigs
desk, pried 1t open, and took roll of
gold from 1t. He saw Bertha, but paid
no attention to her; she soon realized
why. The son came with an armful of
infammable stun, scattered it over the
floor, and set fire to it. They meant to
burn her alive.
When the murderers left the house
the brave littlo girl--she was only ten
years old-tried to leave after them,
but the floor was all ablase; with great
presence of mind she took blankets
from the beds, and spread them before
her on the floor. and thus managed to
get out of the house. badly scorched,
when she ran to Weidigs and then
she remembered no more.
Langoltz and his son, against whom
there had been no breath of suspicion
up to that time, were arrested, and in

Concrete is not q satisfactory mate
rial as q general rule for the stalls
of horse stables. as shod horses are
apt to slip and perhaps iniure them

a material that can be washed down in

vides a surface that is resilient and
that will not become slippery.
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One Is the cork

panying floor plans and the other is
the treated wood block. The wood
block is in various forms and is treat

which the most common is crecsote.

HEAD OF GREAT INSTITUTION

President Richard Cockburn Mac
laurin, about whom the dedication ex-
ercises of the new buildings of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
on June ~, 10 and IA will center, has
the distinction which will be appre-
ciated by businesslike Americans that
he has financed the construction of the
new edifices. This means that he has
secured gifts of about nine million dol
lars and at the same time has carried
forward the educational program of
the institute without departure from
its high standards.
President Maclaurin was born in
Edinburgh in 1870. His early boyhood
was spent in New Zealand. whence he
returned to England to complete his
preliminary education. In 1892 he
entered the University of Cambridge,
taking two degrees, B. A. and NJ. A.,
the thesis work for the latter being
most advanced mathematics. On grad

When ready to plant dig the holes
large enough to accommodate the

from one to two inches deeper than

Jured or bruised parts of the roots.

If water is to be used dig the holes
one or two days before planting and
put several gallons of water in each
hole. Never apply water to the sur
face of the ground around trees after
they are transplanted.
The roots of deciduous trees may
become very dry and not suffer SER
ious injury, but evergreens must
never be permitted to dry, as they
have a resinous sap which hardens
when it comes in contact with the
air. This kills the trees.
Evergreen trees can be transplant
ed any month of the year. Decidu-
Gus trees must be transplanted dur
ing the fall or very early in the
spring.
