To produce good milk, cows must be
comfortable.
Calf raising is an important part of
the dairyman's business.
Cleanliness and carefulness are the
keystone in successful dairying.
The dairy barn should be roomy,
clean, dry, light and well ventilated.
While feed Is an important factor
In successful dairying it is not the only
thing.
Cannot expect calves to be better
than their sire-that is why we need
the best.
Always handle cows carefully. The
cow will more than repay any kindness
shown her.
After the calf is six weeks old there
is little danger of it getting indiges-
sion or Scours.
1t may save time to drive the cows
to the barn at a trot, but it is a poor
ana ill-timed economy.
Keeping the calves separate also
prevents the calves from sucking each
other, a disagreeable habit.
Keep the calves separate for the
first two month"; 81 that IL anything
goes wrong with .aem II win be imme-
aiately detected.

Forget to Pay.

Patrons of Winchester barber shops
seem to have a mania for forgetting
to pay their tonsorial bills. In many
cases ii is lone Internationally.
One evening, recently, a former VIM
chester resident who o lives in Cali
fornia entered u barber shop for %
haircut and shave. He was In n hurry.
His business for the evening included
n lodge meeting and most important
ca all, catching a train for his home.
Many of his old-time friends were In
the shop when he stepped from the
chair. He bade them all good-by and
started to leave the shop. He had not
yet paid his bill.
did you forget something's" the bar
Der asked as the customer was leav-
ing the shop.
"Oh, yes, | beg your pardon" the
customer replied. "Good-by, good-by."
And the bill still remains unpaid

comparatively small space.
A size of barn design for use as both
a dairy and a horse barn is shown in
the accompanying illustration. This
design is found to be very convenient
on the average size farm requiring this
type of barn. The width is SO feet and
the length Is "a feet. The plan is in

accommodating % Gov and six horses
In the standing stalls. In addition
there are three box stalls which may
be used for any kind of live stock,
since they are separated from the rest
OF the barn and may be entered from
any side Of the building. The box
stalls are very large and well lighted
and each has a hay rack built into one
corner Of the wall next to the feed
alley. The horse stalls are arranged
along the opposite side of the building
from the box stalls and are provided
with strong 2 by 8 plank partitions built
with air spaces between the planks to
facilitate ventilation. The horse sta.
Bile end of the barn is separated from
the COW stable end by a wall in which
there are three sliding doors. -Four
Dutch doors and one sliding door open
into the horse stable.
Each Gov stall has an iron stall par
ttion separating it from its neighbors
on both sides. These partitions take
up practically no room and serve a
very good purpose in preventing the
cows from turning sideways and crowd.
ing the smaller animals. These par,
utiobs really effect a saving in room
because they allow each cow just the
right amount of space and, since they
are thin, they do not themselves deduc;
from the available space. Dairymen
who have iron stall partitions very sci.
dom care to get along without them
afterwards. Two steel managers run
along the sides Of the feed alley in the
center of the barn. A track is fitted
overhead down the center of this alley
from the horse stable end of the barn
TO the Silo. This carrier track will
prove to be a great help in feeding the

stock. Furthermore, q track is placed
behind the stalls for a litter carrier.
There are two of these extending from
one end of the barn, along each side,
to the other end and on out to the
dump. There is no reason why this
barn cannot be kept clean and sanitary
at all times and the saving in labor
made possible by these track carriers
for the manure, and also those for the
feed, will pay the cost of the equipment
in a very short time.
The construction of this barn is diff
the foundation wall extends up four
feet above the ground line. The wall
is of concrete started two and one-half
feet below grade with wide footings to
ensure against settling or cracking.
In fact, it might be said that the whole
s~ubstructure of this barn is made
in n large piece, since the con-
crete floor and foundation wall are
poured together. This method of con-
.Struction is very practical for it not
only furnishes an exceptionally solid
base upon which to set the wooden
superstructure, but it assists in reduc-
ing the labor of cleaning the barn due
to the smooth, hard floor surface.
The framework of the building Is
plank frame construction starting from
the top Of the wall. Plank frame truss
work extends from the top of the wall
to the peak of the roof. This frame is
solid, allows a clear NOW space with
out projecting cross-tile members, and
secured with anchor bolts will consti-
tute a skeleton for the barn which will
insure long life and low depreciation.
The ventilating system consists of
four foul-air shafts, which reach from
near the floor to the metal ventilat0rs
on the peak. These four-air shafts are
protected by the corners of the build
ing next to the sable doors. There
ire three ventilatOrs on the roof, the
two end ventilators being used espe-
cially to take are of the foul air from
the shafts, and the ventilator at the
center is for the hay NOW only. In
take pipes are provided in the walls
in such a way as to take the air in
from just above the concrete wall and
deliver it into the stable near the cell
ing. This ventilating system is partic-
ularly efficient and forms a farther i'm
portant deJice for maintaining sani-
tary conditions ia the barn.
A modern barn structure Of the type
discussed in the previous paragraphs
is an investment which no owner of a
moderate sized farm will regret. 1t
will yield him long service with little
or no expense of repairs and in its life
time will more than pay for itself in
the labor saved In the prevention of
sickness among the live stock made
possible by the ideal conditions uEder
which they may be placed.

Do you know what was the largest

tisement?
1t was the settlement In Pennsylva,
MIA of 100000 German colonists.
We know that at Germantown, this
city, was made the first German settle
ment in America. We also know that
in fifty years double that many thou
sand Germans came to William Penn's
colony.
Furthermore, history tells us that
wars and religious prosecutions in
Germany caused this then unparalleled
exodus OF men and women.

Pointers From Expert Of Missouri Col.

Plow early.
Bury the fly.
Destroy all volunteer wheat.
Soy on or soon after fly-free date.
Use oats or rye as fall pasture.
The fly can't eat oats and 1t cares
little for rye.
Deep blowing of wheat stubble
buries the fly and a good narrowing
makes 1t harder for him to escape.
Starve the fly till about the middle
OF October then SOW and you'll have

In a barn used to house all the live

met in order to facilitate maintenance

This is that special provision must be
