to one part of sand, and is swept into
the joints.
Treated wood blocks OF various
kinds are also used for stall floors.
These are made in several different
sizes and shapes and are easily In
stalled. All these types have many
champions and all will give satisfac-
ton il properly made. The plank
floor must of course be considered as
temporary floor, but the treated
blocks and cork bricks wear very well.
The partitions between the stalls in
the horse stable are made In several
ways. Some men prefer wooden parti-
lions, while others build them of iron.
Probably wooden partitions are used
more often. -.
It is poor construction 70 put large
windows in q horse barn. Horses are
likely to break them, and in doing 30
get very badly cut. The best way TO
get well-lighted stable il to provide
plenty Of small windows, which can be
placed near the roof. so as to elm
mate the possibility Of breakage.
These windows are very often covered
with an iron grating. especially II they
are low enough so that there is O pos
sibility Of the horses breaking them.
The upper part of the barn is built
with a gambrel roof, so that trusses
win support the roof, and large open
space will be available for haymow.
The studs for the side walls can be
placed In studding sockets 80 that they
win be kept from being in direct con.
tact with the damp concrete. This
method Of construction has been very
satisfactory in buildings of this type.
A good ventilating system must be
provided In horse barn, the same as
in any other type. The intakes can
be placed at the top Of the concrete
wall in this case, or the windows can
be depended upon to do the ventilat-
ing. Sometimes out-take fiues are pro
vided that go to the ventilator on the
roof, but generally the ventilator IL
placed to take care of the upper part
Of the barn. There are never as many
horses crowded into barn as cows, 80
It is not as necessary to provide an
extensive ventilating system.
Space is provided in this barn for
about IL or IA horses. There are FIVE
box stalls, three single stalls and three
double stalls. A room is partitioned
off in one corner for harness. The
driveway through the center is used
both for feeding and for cleaning.

neck, face and other exposed portions
Of the body are usually affected. The
mildest form is 'tattooed skin, which
appears as II covered with dirt, which

in the wound.

On many farms there are enough
horses 30 that q separate barn for
them Ia needed. II farmer has a
dozen or so horses that are being used
most Of the time, It is a good plan to
have 3 separate barn, as horses and
cattle do not get along very well. In
combination barns It Is necessary to
build q solid partition between the
two parts Of the stable, and 1t is often
better plan to have two barns.
Concrete is used for the foundation
and floors Of the barn shown here.
The foundation walls are extended up
to the floor Of the haymow, which as
sists materially in keeping the barn
warm during the cold weather and
cool In hot weather. II also makes
It possible to keep the barn clean with
the minimum of labor and trouble.
The floor Of the stable is made OF con-
crete, but in the stalls another floor
Is often laid over It.
This floor may be made in several
different ways-all of which have been

used with success. A plank floor is
sometimes used, and ia built with q
slight slope to tho back of. the stall.
The planks are fastened to Q cross
piece and can be removed when nec-
essary. This type IL very cheap and
many farmers prefer 1t 10 any other.
Cork brick has also given very good
results for the floors OF horse stalls.
They are made Of very finely granu-
lated cork which is mixed with re-
nned asphalt and heated and then
nodded into brick shape under pres
sure. Under tests they have shown

Need for Highway Engineers.
Highway plans for bond issues re-
Quire expert skill and professional
service. Before the amount Of bonds
is determined, thorough study of
the needs Of the county should be
made and careful maps of the pro-
posed highway system should be pre-
pared. The sum to be issued should
not be fixed until II is reasonably
known what it will accomplish. II is
customary for many counties to ap-
point commission of business men
under whose Jurisdiction the bond
money is expended. In other cases

missioner has the direction of expendi.
lures. The best results have always
followed where such commissions or
county boards have secured the serv-
ices Of q competent highway en-
gineer.
Guided by the costly experience Of

or the various methods Of financing
road projects the one most generally
practiced for raising q substantial fund
which will be available for immediate
expenditure is through the issuance of
bonds. Experience. say the road spe-
cialists OF the department, has shown
good roads to be sound investment,

standpoint II properly proportioned
and managed bond issues are made for

Some Reasons for Failure.
Instances are not lacking where
bond issues for highway purposes
have proved failures. These failures
are due to mismanagement rather than
to defective principle. Where coun-
ties have issued highway bonds the

many communities. 1t is now becoming
common for counties to adopt this
plan. In all engineering construction
1t is customary to allow certain per-
oentage Of the cost for engineering
and supervision. There is no reason
why highway building should be made
an exception to this rule. At least
FIVE per cent of the bond issue may
well be set aside for engineering and
supervision alone. Money spent to
hire competent engineer to make pre-
liminary investigations before bonds
are issued and to plan and supervise
construction will be well spent. It
Is not uncommon to find counties that
win repeatedly postpone the sale Of
bonds in order to obtain an increase
OF one per cent In a bid for 100000
or less and then proceed to construct
the roads In a most haphazard and ILL
planned manner.

IN the spring it was determined that
the gifts would be fed on self feeders
AS soon after weaving as possible.
, Accordingly about the middle of
June forty-eght gifts in one feed lot
with rape pasture, about evenly divid-
ed as to the above named breeds, were
started according to the self feeder
plan. Shorts in one feeder tankage in
another and oilmeal in still another
were supplied. Salt was supplied ad
libitum also. Shelled corn was fed by
hand twice per day. In other words,
the corn was limited. 1t was intended
to keep the gifts thrifty. but not too
fat.
About the 1st of October new corn.
mostly soft. was fed instead of old
corn. On Oct. Is these gifts were sort
ed, making two bunches, one of TWEEN
.ty-one to be kept for the breeding herd
Of the college, and the second bunch of
twenty-seven were intended for sale
purposes. The entire bunch on Oct.
Is averaged in weight 1870 pounds. The
bunch Of twenty one kept for the col
lege herd averaged in weight 24O. All
have been fed the same since division
was made. These gifts are thrifty,
growthy and not too fat To date the
methods employed have been satisfac-
tory,

studied from year to year to note the
habits Of growth, amount OF winter
killing, yields. and so on.
The. study of comparisons was begun
in 1911, when the varieties had all at
tanned full maturity and were produc-
ing full crops. Good stands of all va
rieties were obtained the first year. A
study Of individual years showed the
Turkestan, Sand Lucern. Grimm and
Montana seed to- be about equal in
yield, none of them showing any win
ter killing the first two years. THE win
ter of 1928 was, however, very Sc
we're, and much alfalfa was killed all
over the state. The spring of 1918
showed various degrees of winter kill
ing in all the varieties except the
Grimm and the native seed. These va
rieties, the Sand Lucern and Turke-
stan, have shown no winter killing
since; the other varieties have to a
slight degree. :.
The question therefore arises, Has
the type of the plant anything to do
with its hardness? Probably 1t has.
This brings up the question, F. the
Grimm variety of sufficiently higher
value to make it worth while to Say
the advanced price for the seed? The
study Of types is an important one, and
the farmer is interested in the one that
will make the most hay. VIII the
Grimm do this? Results show that it
does on account of its resistance to
winter killing. If there were the same
number Of plants to 1.-THE acre probably
it would not, but usually more of the
plants Of the Grimm stand. 1t has not,
however, such a great advantage over
some other varieties, comparing the
cost Of seed and yield per acre.
At the Colorado station the Baltic
variety has outyielded the Grimm. The
two varieties are much alike and prob
ably of the same origin. The thabits ct
the Grimm, however, commend this
type to favor. Its heavy stooling habit
produces finer stems and more leafy
hay. The underground shoots and feed
ing roots near the surfacetn1ake it more
hardy and resistant to winter killing
and late spring frost.
The Grimm variety seems also more
resistant to leaf diseases and is better
adapted to dry farm conditions than
most of the other varieties. It also re-
quires less seed to the acre for sowing
Seven or eight pounds to the acre are
sufficient for irrigated land and half
this quantity on the dry farm. No at
tempt at seed production has been
made at the station, but 1t is probable
that the, Grimm will produce seed as
readily as the other varieties. There.
fore there is no reason why it would
not pay to SOW an acre or two and pro-
duce seed for larger area This
would not be an expensive operation,
even at the high cost per pound OF
Grimm seed.-Countrv Gentleman.

KEEP THE TESTED SIRE.

Bulls Of Proved Worth Should Be Re-
tanned In Service.
The following advice, which is ap-
plicabIe to other breeds of cattle as
we'll as to Shorthorns, comes from the
Shorthorn Breeders association:
MANY inexperienced breeders make
the mistake Of going it blindly from
year to year III their use of herd bulls
They keep eternally changing, using
one couple of years and then super
seding him with calf. On the other
hand, the constructive breeders rely
mainly ON teste>l sires, mostly quite a
lit of age. Indeed, such breeders have
been known to buy entire herds. which
they did not want. merely to acquire
the old bulls at their heads. A Short
horn bull that has proved satisfactory
as a getter should be kept in service
until death or impotence ends his use
fulness When fully matured bulls
often get hard to do with and too often
for this reason are bundled into the
cars and shipped to the shambles. A
big loss is sustained each year by such
unnecessary and uncalled for sacri-
fees. The wise breeder goes mighty
slow with the Use of any untried calf
until he knows what the youngster
can do.
New bulls must be introduced into
every herd. but there is never any oc-
casion to make the change suddenly,
dropping one outright and using an
other to all the breeding females. A
very little ingenuity will enable the
breeder to discover what the chosen
one is going to do. 1t doesn't make
much difference in what herd bull

Pneumonia of Calves.

In winter calves frequently die of
pneumonia. caused by chilling. Keep
them in dry place free from cold
drafts to prevent it. Where calves are
kept in close, poorly ventilated stables
see that doors are not opened permit
ting drafts Of very cold air to blow
directly on them: This is probably the
most common cause. The following
treatment is re commended: Keep the
animal warm and dry, and it is we'll to
keep it blanketed. Feed only fresh
warm milk frequently and in small
quantities. It should be fed carefully
to prevent strangling. Liniments or
mustard plasters may be used over the
chest. Recovery is usually slow. If
the calf is valuable call veterinarian

TYPES OF ALFALFA.

Experiments Show That Grimm ls q
Profitable Variety.
The questions are often asked: why
does one variety of alfalfa stand
through. the winter better than an
other? Why does one variety yield
more? Why is the Grimm variety so
handy?" These questions have been
given great deal of study at the
Wyoming experiment station during
the past five years.
In 1909 eight varieties of alfalfa
were planted at the same time, at the;
same rate, on the same kind of soil. A
quarter acre of each variety was sown,
and the following year another quarter
acre Of native seed was sown. These
varieties have all received the same
treatment in respect to cultivation and
irrigation. and the plots have been
