What Allied Smith.

A plainly dressed man, who intro
duced himself as Mr.. John Smith,
walked into a doctors Office in Texas
town, and having explained his symp-
toms, asked the doctor how long it
would take to cure him. The doctor,
who had treated the visitor with every
possible courtesy, replied:
"You will require careful treat lent
under my personal supervision for
about two months before you are able
to resume your labors in the bank"
doctor, you are fooling yourself. 1
am not Smith the banker, but Smith,
the street car driver"
''Is that so? Well my good fell
low, don't see what you came to see
me for"

if the COW barn happened to be
situated Il considerable distance from
the horse barn. At least one team of
horses is usually needed handy to the
cow barn, for one purpose or another,
and wh0a it Is necessary to stable
them in the COW barn, they must either
be placed in open stalls, which is very
poor practice, or a special inclosure
must be provided for them, which
brings in difficulties in ventilation and
lighting
Ordinarily, the combination barn has
the stalls arranged along central al
ley and a tight partition is built be-
tween the COW stable and the horse
stable, sliding doors being provided
at the alleys. The method of placing
the cow stalls will determine how the
alleys are to be used. In case the
cows face in, the central alley will be
a feeding alley, and 1t will undoubt-
edly be continued through the horse
stable, where the horses will also
face in. The alleys along the outer
walls will then be litter alleys, and
these also will continue through the
other part Of the barn. The most i'm
pOrtant reason why the two parts of
the barn should be arranged in the
same way is that if modern barn equip
ment is used, its installation is very
much simplified if the barn is ar
ranged symmetrically as far as the
alleys are concerned. In a combina-
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1917-08-31

most important reason is that it pro-
tects the investment in these horses.
The lesser reason Is that it prevents
air-pOllutlon in The COW stables by pos
sible transmission from the horse sta
BILE.
The larger combination barn shown
in the accompanying Illustrations Is
an example, of good practice in the
design of building of this sort. The
main barn is divided in the ratio de-
sired, the COW stalls are arranged to
face in and the alleys are extended
through, in the manner already men
toned. The silOs are built short
proper, and a connecting structure is
built in, which is used for the feed
rooms and the mixing room. AL
though not shown on the plan, most
owners would probably desire a feed
carrier track through the center Of
the barn from the feed mixing room to
the far end of the building. In addi-
tion to the twenty single cow stalls,
which should be equipped with modern
sanitary walls and stanchiOns, there
are four pens which may be used for
any special purpose desired or neces-
sary. The double horse stalls are
used and harness rooms are as nearly
dust-proof as it is possible to make
them.
Plenty of large windows are shown
on the perspective view. 1t will be

noticed that there is q small opening
in the wall of the building at the bot
tom of each pair of windows. These
openings are the inlet openings of the
fresh-air flues. These flues are built
into the wall up to the hay NOW and
are then extended over to the center
alley, where the fresh air is liberated
near the heads Of the animals. The
intake openings are fitted with wire
mesh screens. The foul air flues COM
plete the ventilating system up to the
ventilators themselves. These flues
take the foul air from near the floo-
at four points adjacent to the litter
alleys. Each of the two ventilators
serves two Of the flues. Bypass open
ings may be placed in the flues near
the ventilators so that the same ven
tilators will handle the air in the
hay NOW.

I have had itching piles ever since my

many remedies and doctors, but no cure.
About 8 weeks ago l saw your ad for Pc

stopped all itching, and in three days all

Modern and cultured persons, l be.

raxlcab Chinese Invention.

China, the land which antedated
nearly every one of our modern inven-
tions, also claims the invention of the
taxicab some 600 years ago. The Chi
nese used carriage with an attach
ment that dropped pebble into a re-
ceptacle for every mile it Travelled. In
this case, however, the Chinese claim
cannot be admitted, for In the year 1872
a Roman emperor had carriage which
not only measured the distance trav-
eled but also the hours spent on the
Journey.

away the beloved wife and mother,
Mrs. Lula Suber Knox. She had
been in declining health, all year,
but was only confined to her bed a
short while before her death. The
immediate cause of her death was
pneumonia.

as few knew she was so i'll.
She has gone to that home where
there is neither sickness nor death
but where the weary are forever
at rest with the Lord. Her death
was sad indeed as her mother pre-
ceded her to the grave less than
month.

The cabbage grows like a celery
stalk, reaching the height Of about
two feet, being pure white in color.
The leaves are of thick texture and
are light green in color. The latter
makes delightful slaw while the
