and more to the attention of those who
have contributed to the rapid advance
of improved conditions in this business
during recent years. The new methods
have found basis for operation in al
most every community and the public
has been aroused to such a point that
the dairyman who does not follow the
trend of the tinses is very likely to
have shrinking market for his prod
ucts. The days of the old tumble
down dairy barn have passed and the
modern structure must pass the ap-
provaI of the critical age in which it is
erected.
One of the modern principles is
shown in the tendency, in some parts
of the country where farmers are do
ing special dairy work along sanitary
lines, to house the dairy cows in such
a separate stable as is shown here.
The purpose of this practice is to
eliminate the dirt and dust occas;ened
by handling of feed or other material
from the air in the stable. Clean air
is as important as clean feed or clean
floors. This purpose is further aided
by the ease with which the problem
of ventilation may be solved when the
herd is kept in a building by itself
The practice is an admirable one and
it should be given the hearty approval
of every man interested in improving
the conditions of his property. 1t may
be the thought of some that the ex-
pense involved in adding a building for
the purpose of housing a few dairy

even the most trivial thing, might turn
the scale In his favor. and he did not
mean to miss the slightest chance.
He knew right well that, given the
chance, Upton would get his party out
and across the border to the place
where the cavalry had camped. He
also knew right well that the old
miner woud leave no stone unturned
to help him. If he could gain thirty
six hours at most and then manage to
escape, he might still win out
He was by no means hopeless,
though well-nigh desperate, as he drew
down from the higher ground to The
camp, well sheltered in the valley. He
saw that more men were coming in
presumably the talked-of reinforce
ments.
They saw him as he came down the
hill and entered the fat on which the
camp lay. The horsemen, in a madly
yelling crowd swept forward toward
him, lariats circling, horses frantically
caracoling about him, their riders
striving to see who should be the first
to get a rope about the neck of the
accursed gringo.
Mercifully he forestalled their at
tempts by backing up against tai

WRONG IDEA HELD BY MANY
Cancer Is Not Transmitted From Pa

There are good many people in this
country who are laboring under almost
untold solicitude because of their fear
that they are doomed to be the victims
some time or other of hereditary dis
eases. Not few of them actually i'm

1t may b, some consolation for them
to know that every advance in modern
medicine has reduced the significance
Of heredity as fact or in disease, un-
til now there is practically no disease
left that is considered to be directly
inherited, says the New York Herald.
Defects are inherited but not disease.
The older ideas of heredity of disease
are now acknowledged to have been
an erroneous conclusion.

Three yards Of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby a great problem IS
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be established. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
colored and OF exquisite heavy quail
ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson, n. ]. There
was no message inclosed, the package
heing addressed simply to 1.-THE Con-
science Fund, Washington, D. c." It
is presumed that the ribbon itself was
smuggled in and is now surrendered.

cows is not compensated for by the re-
turns from the business. This is not
true in a great many cases, for the ex-
perience of many farmers, who, with
the help of one man, are able to make
a herd of 20 cows pay them excellent
returns has proven that this average
sized herd Is not bad investment.
One may correctly assume that if
these animals are placed in healthful
surroundings and given the best of at
tention the best results may be expect
ed of them. This may be accomplished
at very reasonable expense by the
construction of separate stable, which
will easily be paid for by the increased
returns made possible by the better ia
cilities for giving the herd the atten-
ton which modern practice indicates is
necessary for successful dairying.
The particular building shown here
is SO feet in width and 81 feet in
length, exclusive Of the feedroom and
silo. It's main interior is devoted en-
tirely to the housing of stock, it being
assumed that there are other buildings
on the farm devoted to the storage of
roughage to be used in the dairy barn.
This stable has a solid concrete
foundation with walls that extend up
two feet above ground level. It is in
tended that the entire outer surface of
the wall shall be waterproofed to keep
moisture away from the foundation.
Inside the foundation walls is a
solid concrete floor which is laid off
with managers at the sides of the center
feeding alley, and cow-standing floors,
the front portions being on level with
the manger floors. The standing floors
slope from the center to the cutters.
The alleys behind the cutters are sew
eral inches lower than the standing
/ floors and are wide enough to make
room for the manure carriers which
run on overhead tracks. This arrange
ment is excellent for the cleaning of
| the stalls, it being possible to put the

all times.
The chute used for the bedding is
also used to drop silage from the diff
ferent silo doors as required. All out
side doors are hung with special roller
tracks, so they open and shut very
easily and fasten with heavy iron fas-
teners, which may be operated from
either the inside or outside. These de-
tails have a very desirable effect in re-
ducing all possible waste of time and
energy in the maintenance of the herd.
There have been a great many de-
vices placed On the market during re-
cent years which aid the small dairy
man to carry on his business in the
best possible manner. With modern
methods helped out by these appliances
the dairying business has lost many of
the disadvantages which it formerly
had to contend with. By installing his
dairy cows in a separate stable which
is arranged to assist him in every way
in establishing a systematic and sani-
tary method of conducting this branch
of his business the farmer of today
may easily realize a very agreeable
profit from a small herd of dairy cows.

PIasterinu Without Laths.

Building in Naples and in the south.
ern part of Italy, generally, are of
''tufa," a soft or porous stone. The
walls are, as rule, from one to -four
feet in thickness and are treated exter
nally with stucco work. Strips and laths
are not used for interior work, but the
wall to be plastered is first thoroughly
wet and the first coat of plaster is
then applied, having nothing to ad
here to except the tufa. Later the
putty coat is applied. 1t is doubtful
if there is an opportunity at present
for the sale of expanded metal laths

that children-modern children-are
hard to please, that more and more
are they coming to depend upon an
expenditure of money. When children
repudiate the fascinating paper dolls
provided by the newspapers, dolls and
wardrobes that were not known in our

barn in good condition easily and
quickly with minimum of hand labor.
There are doors at each end of the
litter alleys, opening into the yard, SO
that 1t is possible to have easy access
to the stable from any direction. The
litter carrier track may be carried out
at either end of the alley, but it is
usually found to be most satisfactory
if carried out at the end near the silo,
thus leaving the other end of the struc.
ture clear.
There is well-made ceiling over the
cow stable which gives eight feet OF
headroom in the clear above the floor
or the center feed alley. This ceiling
is carefully constructed to make it air
tight. Special attention is given to ven.
tilation, it being intended that fues be
placed in the walls which will allow
the incoming air to carry the foul ali
up the slope of the roof and out of the
monitor windows in the center of the
roof.
Above the stable is a space that is
| usually filed at threshing time with
straw for bedding. The straw is let
down into the feedroom between the
stable and the silo, there being no
| other connection between the stable
and the storage room above. The only
| objection to keeping bedding in such
a storage room is removed by having
| it dropped into this separate feed
room, the door into the stable being
closed, thus keeping out all dust which
may be stirred up in handling the ma
terial. The special construction of the
floor overhead makes the sitting OF
dust down from the storage room very
slight, and the air in the stable is
therefore kept in the best condition al
