Middlctown Man at Seventy
one Is Active Newspaper
Contributor

f. r. Schaeffer. of Middletown, a
who recently celebrated his seventy
first birthday has in his possession a
copy of the Harrisburg Daily Tele-
graph dated Friday. October 2. 1851.
The paper is Il four sheet edition, five
columns wide. Three of the columns
on the front page are made up of
advertising matter and the other two
of resolution proposing amendments
to the constitution of the Common
wealth. On the second page is a proc
lamation by Governor James Pollock
calling for joint session of the State
Senate and House of Representatives
for the purpose of dealing with the
serious financial and business crisis of
that year. The third and last pages
contain principally all advertising
matter. The paper was published
every day except Sunday by George
Bergner and Company, Third street
near Walnut.
The relic is highly priced by Mr..
Schaeffer, who is veteran newspaper
man of fifty years experience. He first
engaged in the profession in 1866
with the Weekly Trumpet, published
at Elizabethtown by the late B. II.
Lehman. In the early 70's he wrote
country news for the Harrisburg Tele-
graphs when George Bergner was edi-
tor. For the past twenty years Mr..
Schaeffer has written the Bible An
alysis" or exposition on the Interna-
ttonal Sunday school lesson, for the
Philadelphia Record. He is regarded
an authority on Bible matters.

Behold our hero lying stretched out
on the soft upholstery OF a couch at
his club. No attitude of more com
plete relaxation could be found; II
there were one, he would find 1t. On
a table at his side stands his whisky
and soda, and at Just the right dis
lance to give the most grateful warmth
crackles a wood fire. Outside. the
keen air has the frosty tang of midwin
ter, and the north wind sweeps
along, cleansing heaven and earth. In
side the clubhouse the air is warm and
heavy with tobacco. Our hero yawns
and moves one silken ankle the frac'
ton Of an inch. He lights cigarette
and drops the glowing match on the
carpet because 1t is too much work to
reach over to the ash tray. Still he
does reach almost as far to pick up his
whisky and soda.-Collier's Weekly.

Truth Told In Sleep.

According to an expert psyche
analyst and pundit of spiritual heal
ing IN New York, every dream is the
result Of the repression and secrecy
practiced during the day, and every
word spoken in dreams is the un-
guarded truth. Various foods and
beverages, taken before retiring for
the night, are known agencies Of
dreams. Corned beef and cabbage
and mince pie or plum pudding are
said to be the most prolific sources
OF conversational dreams. wakeful
wives should find the new psyche
gastronomic scheme an excellent one.
And here is the scientific discovery
for housewives: II you wish to know
all about your husbands give them a
late supper of corn beef and cabbage.
And then stay awake and you will
hear the truth. the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth about his do
ings.

in diameter. which gives capacity for
holding about 160 tons of silage. AS
the roof OF the barn reaches well up
toward the top of the silo there is
a domelike space which provides con-
siderable NOW room above the stable.
This large NOW is filled at haying
time by means OF circular track
which is suspended from the upper
tier of rafters.
The hay track car is so arranged that
II runs half way around from the hay
door, running in either direction &C
cording to the way the switch is
turned. The hay car is propelled by
q draft rope which runs over pulleys
when taut.
When the load is dumped the slack
rope is then supported by rollers
which prevents it from becoming tan
gled or dropping to the hay below.
The foundation of this barn is Of
concrete made by first excavating for
the foundation walls and piers to get
solid earth to prevent settling. The
grading is then done for the floor,
making the horse-stable floor level,
but the ground for the constable floor
is sloped away to drain properly into
the cutters. This work is better done
with water to settle the earth so 1t
will pack all solid together to give
an even support to all parts of the
floor.
The plan OF the stable shows iron
stall partitions between the COW stalls
and wooden partitions between the
horse stalls. This distinction IS not
necessary, but it is customary.
Being a round barn with the silo
in the center, there is a round feed
ing alley built around the silo. Next
TO the feeding alley is a circular ce-
ment manger which extends half way
around, for the cows, and a wooden
manger built on the same circle on
the horse side.
Both the cows and horses face in
toward the center, so the feeding is
easily and quickly done from the CEN
ter feeding alley.
Silsge is let down through a silage
shute; also hay and straw are put
down through the same shute, and
both are distributed to the hangers
by a feed carrier truck mounted on
heavy truck casters.
There are doors on two sides Of
the barn, one of which is intended as
q stock door to let the cattle and
horses in or out; the other is a wide
driveway door used when cleaning the
stable; also at silo-filling time.
By this stable arrangement the
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1916-09-21

feed is brought to the center and the
manure is distributed from the out
side.
Straw is kept bright by housing il
overhead at threshing time and it is
made useful at feeding time by per-
the hangers between feeds OF silage
and clover hay. The mussed-over
straw is then passed back to the stalls
tor bedding, and as 1t gradually
works farther back II absorbs liquid
manure. is carried out in the manure
carriers, dumped into q manure
spreader and hauled at once to the
field. This shows the practicability OF
this kind Of round barn to save labor
and utilize feed and bedding to the
best possible advantage.
The farm stable should be consid-
cred in the light of a manufacturing
establishment. Manufacturers in cit
les arrange their factories to admit
raw material at one end and to ship
the finished product from the other
end.
Good practice requires that the diff
ferent processes of manufacture shall
follow each other in systematic or
der. Once started, charge of raw
material advances at every step; 1t
is never permitted to go backward.
When farmers arrange their business
so that each step counts, instead of
turning back and walking around in
circles, then farmers become business
men in the best sense OF the term.
Another advantage of building COW
stalls in a circle is the fact that cat
tie, and especially dairy cows, are
wedge shaped.
The most convenient stalls are
wider behind than they are in front,
and they fit the cows better. The
work among dairy cows is done at the
rear OF the stalls. In using milking
machines considerable room is needed.
The use of milking machines is one
reason for placing the windows in the
rear Of the cows, so that the light is
admitted where It is most needed.
No other shape OF barn offers so
many advantages for the same amount
OF square foot area. There is quick,
easy means of feeding in the center
where little room is required; 1t pro-
