The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-12-20

The five Southwestern states--Tex-
as and Oklahoma, Arkansas, L ouis-
lana and New Mexico-had, accord
ing to 1910 Federal Census figures,
a combined population of 9,111,S35.
Over 100000 Southwesterners
approximately 80 per cent? lived in
towns of less than $4,000 inhabitants
and in the rural districts.
Nearly 54 per cent. of the people
in the United States live in towns of
less than $500 population and in the
country.
From these figures it is easy to see
that unless our small towns and vii
lagos are prosperous the country as
whole cannot possibly be in
healthy commercial condition.
In fact, conditions in our small
towns and villages usually constitute
reliable barometer for registering
business conditions at large.
Agriculture and livestock furnish
the bulk of the Southwest's wealth

there being but comparatively little
manufacturing in this section. About
90 per cent Of the producers OF this
wealth live in and around our towns
and villages, consequently they are,
or should be, deeply interested in the
growth of their 'home towns" and
communities.
AS practically all Southwestern
towns and villages are dependent on
retail business, the citizenship OF
these towns and villages should en-
deavor at all times to keep as much
locally produced wealth at home as
possible.
Your home merchants can serve
you to as good advantage as those at
distance if you will specify trade
marked goods when max
ing your purchases.
Investigation and comparison will
convince you that this class of mer-
chandise invariably affords better
values or prices -loked than the non
standard variety.

Rcckache

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part Of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, sdizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.

kidneys to their normal state of health, "

manger. In other localities the
stalls on one side would be made
4 feet 6 inches long. and on the
other 5 feet long. The length of
the stalls are made to vary in this way
so as to accommodate the different
lengths of the cows housed in the
barn. There are stanchions made
which are adjustable so that they can
take from or add to the length of the
stall, 6 inches or so. In case these are
going to be used, all stalls can be made
the same length.
This particular barn was designed
for a country where the winters are
rather mild and the cows can spend
a good deal of time in the COW yard
rather than in the barn, as they would
if in a cold climate.
1t would be found best if the front
Of the barn could face the south or
east This would give the cows the
advantage of the nice morning sun and
protect them from the north and west
winds during the colder months of the
year.

DR.. J. III. Romig Of Seward, presi-
dent of the Alaska Medical associa-
ton, has received letter from a New
York business house of worldwide
reputation saying it has postponed
sending an article Of merchandise as
the river is known to be frozen over
and therefore delivery would be i'm
possible before the breakup of ice in
the spring. Inasmuch as there is no
river near Seward, which is located
on one of the finest harbors in the
world, into and out of which ships
are passing at all times of the year,
the good doctor and his friends have
about concluded the reference is to the
mighty Hudson.

and sanitary and comfortable for your
cattle. If you cannot get the first cost
idea out of your mind, remember these
things. You have perhaps borrowed
some of the money for your barn from
the bank. You must pay them back
and make more besides for yourself.
If you include sanitary and convenient
things in your design you can pay the
bank quicker and make larger profits
for yourself.
The dairy barn, of which ground
plan and perspective view are here
shown, will accommodate 30 cows. The
silo is 13 feet in diameter and will be
found to have sufficient capacity for
silage to accommodate all the cattle.
AS shown in this view, the silo is
built of wood. Hollow tile, concrete
blocks, or REINFORCED concrete, how
ever, can be used equally as well. With
the idea of making it possible to 60
Gnickly from one part of the barn
to another sliding doors have been put
in at all four corners and in the oppo-
site end from the silo there is door in
the middle besides those on either side
Of this end.
The ground floor is of concrete
which always makes a barn as sanl-
tary as it possibly can be. 1t has a
gambrel roof, which does away with
the rafters and other members of a
truss which take up much OF the
space in the loft of barn.
The feed alley is conveniently 10
Gated in the middle of the barn. This
permits of easily distributing the sill
age to the managers on either side OF
the alley. Concrete cutters are built
in the floor in back of the COW stalls
on either side of the barn. In back
of these cutters are the manure
carrier tracks, conveniently located sc
that the refuse in the cutters can be
directly picked up and carried out
The dimensions of the COW stalls
can be made according to the ideas OF
the builder. In some places it is Gus

of the barn. but considerable work is
required to get the silage to some
other part of the barn where consider
able of it is used. This is not eff
cheney, for though you have perhaps
wasted no money in the construction
of the silo, you are daily unnecessarily
wasting much of your working eff
fort.
The silo may not only be located in
conveniently with respect to the places
where the silage is used. By neglect
ing sufficient forethought the design
may be decided on, and after the struc-
ture is completed it is realized that it's
capacity is too small. 1t is just as
cheap to build a silo in the right place
as in the wrong, and it costs but little
more to build it large enough rather
than too small. Additions later are
much more expensive than the same
thing would be if included in the orig
inal building.
These are but a few Of the many
inefficient things which might be done
in putting up farm buildings. In Or
der to save on the original cost many
things may be left out which are great
time, thus money-savers. Money should
wisely be invested in such time-saving
devices. The money, represented by
work which can be saved in the long
run, will show nice profit on the
small extra investment necessary for
time-saving installations.
In dairy barn, as well as all 9th
ers, the comfort of the cattle, horses
and other animals should be given con-
sic cradle thought. They are just like
q man. Under better conditions the
cattle thrive more. Sanitation makes
them less susceptible to disease. Let
us say you lose two nice cows during
the year from disease. That repre-
sents loss to you of perhaps $3.50 to
5000. Wouldn't it have been better
to spend this $4,000 for construction
in your barn which would make it
more sanitary and disease-resisting?
During the first year you would make
up for this 5000 extra cost by not los
ing the cows, and during the second
and each successive year you would be
$2o0 ahead per year.
The thing in selecting design for
your barn is this: Forget the first
cost and think of the things which will
make it convenient for you to work in,

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or calIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens 50 it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri.
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv
