Attaches q. & NJ. Freight Car.

Mitchell.-The attachment of a
freight a belonging to a foreign road
for damages is an unusual procedure,
but n that has been put into effect
by g shipper of eggs and poultry in the
city against the Boston and Maine
railroad. The box car belonging to this
road came into Mitchell recently and
was attached while standing on a side
track of the Milwaukee road. The
claim arose as a result of a shipment
of poultry by w. Bauer, of the Mitchell
Produce company, when he was in bus
mess in Missouri. The claim is for
about $500 and was made against the
Boston and Maine because that road
delivered the goods to a Boston COM
mission concern. A claim was filed at
the time, but has been dragging along
for years without settlement. The
case calls to mind the time when Emil
j. Woerth, then a lawyer at Kimball
chained a Milwaukee engine to the
tracks to secure the settlement of a
judgment against the company. A
similar affair was performed by A. b.
Kittridge of Sioux Falls for a similar
cause

REPTILE Almost Extinct.

The tuatara, or tuatera, is an al
most extinct lizardlike reptile (Sphe-
nodon punctatum), now found only on
certain rocky islets In the Bay of Plen-
ty, northern New Zealand. 1t is of
great scientific interest for the rea-
son chat it is the only surviving rep
resentative of the order of Prosauria,
or primitive reptiles, and is therefore
a sort of living fossil" 1t was form
erly hunted for food, but is now pro-
tected by law in New Zealand. The
American Museum Journal in which
the foregoing facts are recorded, said
hat of five living specimens of this
reptile which formed part of the New
Zealand exhibit at the Panama Pa
cific exposition, two have been pre-
sented to the American museum of
natural history. No living specimens
had been seen in this country prior to
the exposition.

Mormon Missionaries?

Faulkton.-Two men. who failed to
name their mission, have appeared in
various parts of Faulk county recently,
and behaved in a manner which has
led to the suspicion that they are Nor
mon missionaries. seeking recruits for
the church in Utah. The men at first
appeared to be greatly interested in
church and Sunday school work. but
when permitted to teach in Sunday
schools or speak in church, they are
said to have denounced churches and
Sunday schools as works OF the devil.
Others of their u%tterances have led
people to believe they are seeking ad-
ditions to the Mormon or Church Of
the Latter Day Saints, though they
have so far failed to reveal their OBJ
ject, if they have one. The men have
appeared at Wecota and other towns
in Faux county.

Dread the Truth.

The parrot cry for conversational
values that to day dominates the pop
ular mind in America is largely the
fear Of commercialized society lest it
should be told unpleasant truths about
itself; lest the unpleasant gulf between
its W daily practice and its ideals"
should be sounded by the artist. SIM
ilarly the Puritan's confused fear of
sensuous beauty, and his desperate
shutting Of the eyes to the interde-
pendence of body and soul, Of flesh
and spirit, is a sign of his own weak
ness, of his lack of truthfulness. In
such al atmosphere of make-believe,
there is and can be neither zeal art
nor real beauty. dominated as 1t is by
considerations of utility and material
profit and ideals" and divorced as it
is from mental sincerity and the beau

ding is inserted in them it is nailed
in position through holes in the sides
OF the socket.
The walls of a good stable are made
in several different ways. They are
generally made double, the siding be-
ing placed on the outside of the studs
and a plastered wall or one Of
matched boards placed on the inside.
AS smooth a finish should be secured
as is possible.
A dressed and matched flooring
should also be placed for the floor Of
the hay NOW, so as to prevent chaff
and dust from falling down on the
cows.
Very often the walls and ceilings
of barns are painted with white lead
in three coats. This finish shows the
dirt and will be an incentive to keep
the barn clean md as attractive in
appearance as possible. The white
finish, with its rejecting power, will
also help considerably in giving a
brightly lighted interior, which is a
good feature.
The partitions between the COW
stalls are made of iron, finished with
a hard, smooth japan that is burned
into the surface. The advantage of
COW stalls of this kind is that the
amount Of surface to be cleaned is
reduced to the smallest possible
amount consistent with the maintain
ing of partitions between the vari-
Gus stalls. The smooth surface also
affords small opportunity for unsani-
tary conditions.
The whole arrangement of the mod
ern barn has been worked out so as
to make the cleaning as easy as pos
sible.
In as small a barn as this, a ventilat-
ing system is very often not consid-
cred necessary, and the windows and
doors are depended upon for this re-
suit. The matter of the ACCESSIBILITY
of a system is a question that should
be decided by the owner. If n is
installed, intake iues should be pro-
vided on each side of the barn, which
discharge over the heads of the cows,
and the outtake fiues can be provided
behind the COWS.
The stall partitions and the man.
gers in the part of the barn devoted
to horses are often made of wood.
While iron construction in this part
Of the stable will add to the value of
the stable, wood will give very good
results and a be kept in good con
dition much easier than in the stalls
that are used for cows.
The floor of the horse stalls should
be made of some material such as
cork brick or treated wood block, as

siderable success both in small and

that is wheeled about the concrete

flexibility Of this method Of feeding
makes it more desirable than the car

The construction of this barn starts
with a concrete foundation that is ex-
tended above grade about eighteen
inches. This wall, which extends en-
tirely around the barn, is carried
down below the frost line and with
the concrete floor effectively protects
the barn against dampness and also
eliminates rodents and vermin. If

subject OF building work on the farm, for

The accompanying floor plan and H.
lustration shows a good general barn
such as would be of the greatest
amount of service on a small farm.
1t can be used as a small dairy stable
or as a barn for beef cattle, and has
accommodations for three horses, and
a box stall where another horse can
be kept. Sixteen cows can be handled
readily.
To get the best results with a COM
bination barn it is well to keep the
horse and COW parts of the barn sep
arated as completely as is practicable.
A solid partition is built in this case
and extends across the barn. 1t is
broken by a double sliding door in
the litter alley and there are small
doors in the two feed alleys.
The COWS are arranged in this barn
according to the facing-out plan. This
concentrates all the manure and all
the harder work in the one alley,
which the champions of this arrange
ment say cuts down the work to a
large extent.
In as small a barn as this a litter
carrier is not as a general rule pro-
