as the concrete surface Is sometimes so slippery that the horses are likely to fall. The concrete floor does not bother the cows. and it is used to large extent in the floors of dairy sta bles. The wood block floor generally consists of rectangular blocks that are treated with creosote so that they will be protected against moisture and will be waterproof. The cork brick con sists of a brick that is made up If ground cork mixed with special preparations. This gives a very resil- tent, warm floor, that wears in fine shape
 A small barn such as this, built sub- stantially and placed on a concrete foundation, can always be used on any farm even if the dairy outgrows it's original home. The building can be easily changed over to serve as an implement shed or for one of the many uses to which buildings on the farm can be put.
 The nine COW stanchions occupy one side of the barn and the other is filled with three large box stalls. The litter alley runs through the center between the stanchions and the box stalls. The COW stalls are built with concrete or other special barn floors. which are placed on a slant so as to drain read fly into the gutter. A concrete man ger is built along the front of the stanchions. The box stalls can be used for any purpose that is desired, and very often they are used for grain bins until other storage has been pro- vided.
 The upper part of the barn contains the now in which the hay and the straw can be stored. The floor of the now should be made with matched boards, so that the chaff will not fall down on the cows. This is an impor- tant feature in any barn and is often neglected.
 The ventilation on a small barn such as this is often taken care of in two ways. Some farmers insist on a regu- lar ventilating system with intake and

barn shown here would not be practi- cal for a large dairy farm, but the large dairy barn would also be a white elephant for the farmer who had no dairy or had no market for the products of a large herd of COWS. Each farmer ought to pick the type of building that is suited to his par ticular needs and also suited to his pocketbook. The big dairyman is like ly to look with scorn on a small barn such as this, but it fills as important position in the farm-buiiding field as any other. It is a type that is suited to the average farm where only few COWS are kept.
 The foundation is made of concrete which is carried down to footings be- low the frost line and is also carried above the ground for about foot or IS inches. Concrete has almost be- come the universal material for foundations because 1t is so easily handled and also is not affected by

WATERFALL CASTS A SHADOW
Curious Effect of the Full Moon Upon the Beautiful Yosemite, Highest
 American Waterfall.

Did you ever see a waterfall cast a shadow" asked Stephen T. Mather of the group around the club table. MT. Mather, who is assistant to Secretary Lane, in charge of the new develop ment work which the department of the interior is doing in the national parks, had just returned from a stren- uous summer among the mountain tops.
 Well. Yosemite falls cast my shad- ow very distinctly one night last Au- gust. I was half mile or more away, gazing, beauty-bound. at the effect of the full moon upon these giant falls, which are. by the way. as high as six teen Niagaras piled one on top of the other.
 "The moon was behind me, of course. The double falls, shining like silver, lit brilliantly by reflected light the dense shadows of the trees which hid me from the moon. Turning, l saw my shadow outlined vividly upor the grass"

moisture as is wood when it is placed underground. Concrete is also used to g large extent in making the floors Of all kinds of barns. but it does not have the clear claim to the field here. as there are several types of floors that are becoming very popular, and for many purposes they are better than concrete.
 No matter what type of floor is de- cided upon. it is absolutely necessary that the ground underneath be com pacted smoothly so as to furnish support for the floor. Any floor will look like a failure if the foundation falls out from in under it in spots and allows it to sag or break in this place. The walls and foundations are put in first and the ground is then smoothed off for the fioor The ground should be wet thoroughly so that it will be equally compact in all parts.
 There are two types of floors that are being used in many places, in- stead of concrete, for floors. They are the cork brick and the treated wood block. Both are made now so that they will form a watertight sanitary surface that can be washed down with a hose the same as a concrete surface. These two types of floors are particularly adapted tn horse barnA

 Il has. The predicted reorganization is to be a part of the great plan of na- tional preparedness for defense against an enemy nation.
 The secret poIice-that is a term to strike terror in Russia. for in that vast empire the secret police have been and are deeply involved in the sorrows of the peasant millions. For many decades there has been in Russia a nihilist movement, a large group of people of all ranks and de grees. including even the nobility who have been plotting to overthrow the present form of absolute govern ment and establish in Its place a de mocracy.
 Of course the government has used every known means of thwarting the efforts of the revolutionists and pun ishing them. In keeping tab on the plotters the empirists have developed the most complete secret police sys- tenn the porld has known-except per haps the German system. and the Jap anese, which are used for entirely diff ferent purposes: to get military in- formation.
 Wherever and whenever and what ever the nihilists have planned and executed, or planned and failed to exc cute, the secret police. have made wholesale arrests and sent strings of broken. sorrowing men and women to the great prison of Peter and Paul at Petrograd or to the hellish salt mines of trozen Siberia.
 The secret police-that term in the United States of America strikes ter terror into very few hearts. if any. Rather. it is a term that takes us back to boyhood days when we read 'Old King Brady" Nick Carter and the Beadle Library in the hay nov.

The accompanying perspective and floor plan shows a small dairy barn such as would be most generally used on the ordinary farm where dairying is not the main issue. It is arranged to take care of nine COWS, and several more could be accommodated in the Box stalls if the occasion demanded. The cost of this building would be rather low, as the frame needed for the roof is light and the time needed for construction would be short.
 There are all kinds of farms and there are buildings designed that are suitable for each class. The dairy

Fire at the Skunk Farm.

The Winsted Fire Department mem bers are all ready to enlist in the Euro pean armies after the fire on the skunk farm of Dayton Wright, Tuesday night on Smith Hill, for they say, facing gas bombs and liquid fire is pleasant work compared with facing the concerted attack of 800 able. bodied skunks.
 When the fire broke out the skunks were unable to get far away from the blaze. They became greatly excited and were so unstrung that upon the ar- rival of the firemen they raced to at- tack them. Fire fighting operations were hampered and had it not been for the duel between skunks and freight. CTS the loss of $4, 900 could have been split in half.
 Many of the fremen are now wear ing their citizens clothes. Their uni- forms are buried as result of the skunky combat. The department is all "het up' over the experience of fighting fire on a skunk farm and are of the opinion that such work should come under the ban of the national government as being contrary to all the laws of humanity.

For Stealing Bicycle :,

Bernard Benedict, aged IA, was ar- rested Friday afternoon by Constable Rhoades, charged with stealing a bicycle belonging to Cyrene Gondelli. In Justice Ford's court, prosecuted by J. 0. Roraback for the state, the boy pleaded guilty and was fined S1 and costs, aggregating $l2, and he was allowed, 60 days, under suspension of judgment, to pay up.
 It appears from young Benedict's testimony that he had received num- Der of letters from a girl in Salisbury named Coons, urging him to call on her. In order to get to the lady he borrowed" the wheel from in front of Graves clothing store, where Gondelli was working and rode it to Salisbury On the way back he got stick caught in the wheel in such a manner that the bike was put out of business and he was obliged to walk home, leading the wheel, which he left at Hugins' garage to be repaired. He promised to pay for the repairs in addition to the costs of court.

CAMP ANNIVERSARY
Fortieth Year of Marriage Celebrated
 by Surprise Party.


 The fortieth anniversary of the mar riage of Dr. and Mrs. Charles w.. Camp, last Thursday, July 6, was signalized by a delightful surprise party, organized and successfully car ried out by a number of their lacy friends, who appeared, in a body, at the pleasant Camp hone shortly after 8 o'clock. The surprise to the estima- ble couple was genuine, but they wei comed the guests with cordial hospi- tality and gave them possession of the house.
 The evening was most agreeably spent in card playing and social inter- course; refreshments were bountifully served and the guests departed at late hour, leaving congratulations in un- stinted abundance and sincere wishes for many happy returns of the day.
 Dr. Camp, who had just started his practice, and Miss Josephine Granger. daughter of the late Judge M. T. and Mrs. Granger, were married on July 6, 1876, and have lived here ever since. where Dr. Camp has ministered to two generations in all this region round about. They have three children, Samuel G. Camp, Mrs. Josephine Camp Hardenbergh and Miss Caroline Camp, all living in Canaan.
