done lIong the same alley. lt is much easier to keep the walls clean in this arrangement. as all the litter is in the one alley and does not sratter on the walls.
 The stalls are set with the floor on 2 slant so that they can be washed out and will drain into the gutters behind. The floor of the horse stable is made level and the concrete in the stalls is often covered with blanks or made with wood blocks so that the horses will not slip This is not necessary in the COW part of the stable. as COWS do not slip on concrete as readily as horses.
 The feeding is taken care of by a silo that is placed at one corner Of the barn A feed carrier can be in stalled which runs on a track, and many times the feeding is handled by small trucks mounted on wheels that are pushed around through the feed alleys. The feeding can be arranged to suit the ideas of the owner. Sey. eral good systems can be developed and one should be adopted that will not cause a waste of time and labor.
 The roof of the barn is of the gam. brel type, which is selfsupporting. The trusses make it possible to have plenty of room for all the hay that is 10 be stored in the mow.
 The intakes for the ventilating sys- tenn are at the top of the concrete wall. The air is carried in and dis charged over the heads of the cattle The outtakes are behind the animals and lead to the lues that run along under the roof and out through the ventilators on the roof The yentilat. ing system of dairy barn is one of the most important parts. and time spent in deciding on the best arrange ment 10 use will be time well spent If the result obtained with the venti, lating system gives a plentiful supply of air and does not keep the barn cold in cold weather, the system is sue. cess.

C. F. Norgord, commissioner of agri culture of Wisconsin. speaking before the Guernsey Breeders association of Waukesha county, at Waukesha. set forth a new plan whereby the tuber- culin test of cattle will not only be of greater value as an aid 10 science, but will be of increased commercial value and at the same time a greater pro lection to breeder, seller and buyer.
 Under the plan proposed by Com missioner Norgord tuberculin-tested cattle will not only be given a rating above those not tested, but this rating will be interstate and will be main tained and backed by veterinary de partmepts of all states. The plan al ready has been indorsed by number of states.
 4 campaign of education will be conducted in furtherance of the plan, and cooperating with the Wisconsin department of agriculture in this will be the College of Agriculture of Uni ye-sity o: Wisconsin, the United States department of agriculture, and the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders association and all county breeders organizations o. Wisconsin.
 Under the new order of things the herds coming under the test and found free from tuberculosis will be certified as Glass A" herds, and will be so listed in all states. Therefore, it will be an inducement for the breeder to voluntarily acquire this certihcation as soon as possible.
 In setting forth his plan, Commis- sioner Norgord said:
 Tn an effort 10 simplify the inter state inspection of cattle and to en- courage the use of the tuberculin test, the Wisconsin department of agricul- ture Is hereby submitting a plan whereby it may be possible to make shipments from herds which are
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-03-12

deemed free from tuberculosis, so far as can be judged by use of the tuber- culin test and the physical examina- ton of such cattle. and where there have been no diseased animals found upon two successive examinations.
 The reason for the establishment of such classification is this. The prospective buyer is learning to look for herds which are annually tuber' culin tested. He realizes that whether the cattle which he bought will be per. msnently free from tuberculosis or not will depend largely upon the condition regarding tuberculosis of the herd in which the animal has been prior to the time of purchase. The history of the herd plays a large factor fin determin- ing the future welfare of an animal, and the time is not far distant when the purebred breeder will refuse to buy from a herd which cannot show a clean record regarding tuberculosis as shown by the tuberculin test
 Another reason for the new plan is the encouragement by reason of es- tabIi.hing e list of those owners hay ing tubercuiosis-free herds. designat- ing them as Class A The owner who has thus far tested his cattle has en- countered many disagreeabie circum- stances, one of which is the fact that . number of people who never have tested or believed in the tuberculin test would point with scorn to the man who was testing and designate him as e man who had tuberculosis in his herd. when the only assurance that the neighbor had that his herd was not afflicted was the fact that he had not tried to ascertain whether there vas any disease there or not
 The special necessity and desira sfuty os uking this step lies In the

proposition to make the interior of the barn as clean as possible. The best way to accomplish this is to have a well-lighted building, as men will make more of an effort to keep a bright and cheery barn clean than an old, dark one
 The barn shown here is fitted with windows, so that a bright, cheery in terior can be easily obtained.
 The foundation walls of concrete are carried above grade for about eight feet up to the joists that sup port the floor of the haymow in the upper part of the barn. The windows to the lower part of the barn are placed in the upper part of the con crete wall. The floor is also of con crete and the stall floors can be fin ished in cork brick or wood block If desired.
 The horse part of the stable is made under a roof that is extended from the roof of the main barn. The dairy

Find Use for Confederate Money.

Millions of dollars in Confederate currency have been put to a use never dreamed of when printed. A canny individual bought this money up for years and in turn sold it to the Edison Electric company for a good price. For certain small incandescent lamps which the Edison people were manu- featuring a certain kind of carbon was needed wich could best be ob. tained from paper made out of sea grass. The Confederate money was ali made out of sea-grass paper. From this the cartoons for the lamps could be manufactured.

Good light is most essential in a farm building of any kind and espe- cially in a dairy barn. There is al ways good deal of work to be Gone in this type of harm in addition to the regular work that is done in every barn. Any barn has to be cleaned at regular intervals, and the milking has to be done. also. in dairy barn. Flee tric or acetylene lights are often pro vided, but if it is not necessary to use these all the time the cost of running the building will be reduced. The first cost of windows is practically the on;y cost as they are very seldom broken. After they are once in place they are a permanent asset to the tarn and aid materially in reducing fhe light bills if enough of them are provided.
 Windows also have another advan- tage. It is practically impossible to secure the best kind of sanitary con ditions without plenty of light and sunshine. A dark, dingy place is al most always unsanitary. As the price a dairyman can get for his milk de- pelds to large extent on the condi- tion of his COWS quarters, it is good
