The greatest return will be realized
from money spent in farm buildings
when these structures are especially
designed for the purpose which they
are to serve. A horse barn should diff
fer in several respects from any other
building on the farm. Certain condi-
tons required in order that the horses
may be kept in the best of health form
the fundamental considerations in
drawing up the design. Second to this
is convenience in attending to the
wants and needs Of the horses.
The determination Of size Is an i'm
portant consideration in designing the
horse barn. The matter will depend
largely upon the manner in which the
farmer is in the habit of keeping his
horses. Some farmers have a large
number Of horses which they work
during the summer and turn out in the
yards and sheds to winter. Such farm
ers usually raise horses to sell and al
ways have more than they need. 9th
err farmers keep just the number of
horses which are required to do the

THE PRESS or WIscoN-
SIN SEVENTY YEARS AGO

t
No more striking contrast between
present-day Wisconsin and that Of
seventy years ago can be afforded than
by the figures pertaining to the press
of the State. In the summer of 1916
Wisconsin boosted fifteen weekly and
one daily newspapers. The total cap
ital invested in the printing and publish
ing business cannot fall short of
$25, OOO,, while the total business trans
acted by the printers Twill probably
range at $4,000 per annum." The
total newspaper circulation of the Terri
tory was supposed to equal 5000 issues
weekly, this exclusive of the one daily
paper which had circulation of 1900
per diem, 800 per week Is, 900 per
year" Notwithstanding these impos-
ing figures the editor who presents
them was convinced that several prom
ising newspaper openings in Wisconsin
still awaited exploiting. In particular
Prairie du Chen was deemed the best
location for a newspaper in Wisconsin,
since in addition to being the county
town of Crawford county it was "the
great emporium for all northern Wis
consin and Iowa.

THE HIGH COST OF LlV-
ING IN 1885 AND 1917

A striking illustration of the high
cost of living with respect to things
artistic as compared with the days of
Washington is afforded by recent
newspaper item. 1t relates that a
statue by Houdon, modelled in 1887, was
purchased by an American for $170, 900.
In his lifetime Houdon was reputed to
be the greatest living sculptor, Eand as
such was chosen from all the artists of
Europe to model the statue of Wash
ington ordered by the state OF Virginia.
Houdon had family dependent upon
him for support and so he insisted, as
condition of his coming to America to
perform the commission, that his en-
ployers should insure his life against
the hazards of the journey. According
ly we have an exact statement OF
the estimate placed upon the life of
Europe's greatest sculptor at this time.
The sum for which he was insured was
$4,000. Today there are sculptors in
New York who are reputed to earn an
annual income fifty times as great
as the value to his family of Houden s
life; while single creation of his sold
for over eighty times that value.
