There are feed racks running the
whole length of the stock shed. Over
these feed racks are chutes to let the
big NOW so that the racks are easily
filled at feeding time. At the same
time hay is let down in the feeding
alley on the side of the barn for the
dairy cows. 1t Is better not to have
any direct connection between the COW
stable and the overhead storage. Hay
for the horses and straw for horse
bedding Is put down another chute In
the horse wing.
Placing the silo at n corner OF the
barn makes it easy to feed silage TO
all Of the live stock, because of the
manner in which the different alleys
branch off and extend in different d.
rections TO reach the rangers.
1t would be difficult to build a better
farm barn where accommodation is
wanted for horses and dairy cows and
young stock or beef cattle In one
building. 1t is what might be called a
general farm stock barn. 1t holds q
great amount of rough fodder, because
Of the depth Of the hay bay. When
hay Is put into such a storage NOW
In the summer time and reflled later,
the height is sufficient to settle the
hay very solid in the bottom, SO that
the space between the ground and the
roof in the center part Of this build
Ing will hold q large quantity Of hay,
Considering the size Of the barn, 60

The construction is very simple. The
center part is built with uprights
which reach to the plate and the wings
are added like sheds, with the excep-
ton that a solid concrete foundation
reaches all the way around, which
makes the barn permanent. Such a
foundation adds q great deal to the
value Of the building. both In service

DRAFT RULES FOR YACHTING
Conditions Considerably Altered From
Those in Force for Y~ears-Every
Boat Must Start.

Chairman William c. Carleton and
the members of the regatta commit
tee Of the COrinthian Yacht club of
Boston, have formulated a draft Of
the new racing rules for the Upton
cup. This new cup will arrive from
London early In the spring. The con-
ditiOns have been In force for the last
five years.
The rule allowing n boat to stay
out Of five races and practically pick
her weather has been abolished. Every
boat racing must start in all but two
races Of the season, and, If she does
not, she will be figured as a starter.
In order to stay out Of the two races
allowed by the rules, "a hours notice
must be given the committee. The
owner cannot change his mind after
giving notice.
Every boat In the class must start
or be counted as a starter in the last
two races Of the season.

UMPIRE DECLARED HIM SAFE
Peculiar Play Pulled of In Tacoma.
, Seattle Game-Arbiter Makes
Novel Decision.

Fred McMullin, the young infielder
who has been making a spirited bid for
Il place on the White SoX team, vas
playing for Tacoma at Seattle a few
years ago. He came in from third
on The dead run and slid for the plate.
McMullin knew he didn't touch 1t, but
he was afraid to slide back as the
catcher had the ball in his hand. The
umpire also knew he didn't score, but
said nothing, as that was not his bust
ness.
Fred busted off his uniform and
stalked nonchalantly to the Tacoma
bench.
"IIe wasn't safe, was he?" demanded
Cadman, who was catching for Seattle.
The umpire shook his head. At this,
Cadman, holding the ball in his hand,
dashed over to the Tacoma bench to
tag McMullin. Fred waited until he
all but reached his end of the bench,
and then slid yer to the other end.
Cadman followed him, and as he did
so slipped on some mud and fell to his
knees. McMullin leaped up from his
seat, sprinted to the plate, and touched
it.
The umpire called him safe.

AMERICAS FIRST DUTY.

The greatest need in America today
Is the formation of a new national
mind, the construction of q new ma
tional conscience and n reformation
that will bring about q new nation-a
nation with a tirmer purpose. a clearer
vision and a complete understanding
Of the words patriotism and Ameri-
canism.
To bring this condition about, the
first problem to be solved is the liquor
problem, and the liquor problems only
solution is wiping it entirely and I'M
e%quivocally Off the map. To accom-
plish the coming Of the New Ameri-
ca" every saloon beneath the stars and
stripes must be closed.
The. great political parties have
failed to respond to this call, for they
do not want the responsibility, and the
time has come for the American people
to disregard political parties and rise
up in a great army and with all their
strength solve the question themselves.
Americas danger is not from with
out it is from within. Whatever crisis
the United States is facing or will face
is coming, or will come, from internal
causes. 1t is the American people who
have their W problem to settle, their
own future to decide. And the first
step in this settlement and decision Is
the elimination of the saloon.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Patterson Of Tennessee.

TREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
to Die Of elaekIes Before 3D.
ministerino Treatment.

(By G. H. GLOVER. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins.)
Calves should be vaccinated for
blackleg twice a year, making 1t a
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
The period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most Of the vaccine
on the market is reliable and the un-
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on the part of the
farmer in not following directions in
using it.
The agricultural college distributes
the government biackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not be filed promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that he has u vaccinating outfit, which
= very necessary to administer vac
cine In this form. A pellet injector
will not do, neither will u hypodermlc
syringe, without the remainder Of the
outfit, for placing the vaccine in solu-
ton.

cohol as a medicine. Seventy-fve, yes,
so years ago it was N Of the most
widely-used remedies, not only in
household but also in professional
medicine. We gave it to reduce

to stimulate the heart and to lower

HIGHER QUALITY OF BUTTER

There is no reason in the world why
the farmer cannot make butter of high.
err quality than that made at the
creamery, according to N. E. Olson, in,
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas safe agriculture. college.
1.-THE farmer can keep his cream In
excellent condition. says Mr.. Olson.
"while the creamery man has little
control over the rea he buys-hence
the farmers butter should top the
market.
"The first step in the making of good
butter is the production Of clean milk.
If. milk contains no putrefactive and
gas-forming bacteria, butter can be
produced which will be free from odors
and which will notsputrefy, If proper
precautions are taken with the cream

ANXIOUS TO LEARN BASEBALL
Danes and swedes, Already introduced
to Soccer, Now Wish to Take
Up American Game.

The Danes and the Swedes want to
learn something about our old ball
game. They already have been intro
duced to soccer. Secretary Tom Cahill
of the Soccer association now proposes
to take n combination team Of soccer
and baseball players abroad.
The plan would be to play both
games, but just where the baseballers
would get their opponents is not clear,
unless enough Americans can be dug
up in Sweden and Denmark to form
a team.
The plan is to make the trip during
the coming summer. Most of the real
opponents Of baseball will be busy at
that time.
