The Nevada County picayune., 1917-09-13

There has been in our diploma cy one more outstanding aspira- tion. We have constantly sought to substitute juridical for militia ry settlement of disputes between nations.
 The genesis of this idea dates from the discussions over the Federal organization of our 13 original States, which were al- most as jealous of their sovereign ties as are the nations of Europe today. The first great step to- ward the League of Honor, which we hope will at last bring peace to the world, was taken when our 13 States agreed to disarm and submit all their disputes to the high tribunal of the new fed eration.
 And this idea of an inters tate court. which except at the time our Civil War has given this Ma tion internal peace. has profound ly influenced our foreign policy. Of our efforts to bring others to our way of thinking, an histori- cal resume was presented.bv our delegates at the First Hague Conference. A project was sub- mitted there for the formation of world court. And a few years later MT. Root, our Secre- tary of State, in instructing our delegates to the Second Confer ence at The Hague. laid especial emphasis on this same interna. tional ideal.

One method of construction consists
in the use of double thickness Of
flooring The bottom thickness Is laid
in hot tar; two thicknesses of tar build
ing paper are placed above it and we'll
mopped with hot tar and tIfen top thick
ness of flooring is placed. Stable ceiling
must be high enough to allow the
horses to hold their heads up. If the
stable is built as it should be, the body
heat of the horses will set up good
circulation Of air.
Men who keep good horses will APP
preciate the design shown in the ac-
companying Illustrations. The ar
rangement of stalls is good and there
is a large carriage room in which to
keep vehicles away FROM the dust.
With this carriage room and the har-
ness room there is no excuse for dirty
buggles or an unsightly harness.
A feature of this barn which should
attract special attention is the tool
room. It is feet by IL feet in front
corner of the building and there are
two windows to furnish plenty of light.
A work bench with wise on one end is
called for, placed so that the light will
strike it from two directions. Boxes
to hold tools and supplies are placed
along the dark side of the room.
The granary will be large enough or
not according to the other buildings
on the farm. Where there is a large
grain barn for threshing, a smaller
granary in the horse barn seems to an
swer every purpose. The granary is
| placed in a good position IN this plan
since it is entirely shut off from the
stable and yet it is near enough to be
convenient in feeding.
| There is room overhead for a, good
quantity of hay and straw. The hay
carrier will bring the stuff from the
back pretty well through to the front
of the barn. It would probably be ad-
vfsable to put a concrete floor in this
building the full size of the stable part
and the carriage room. On the farm,
the carriage washing is done outside of
the carriage room or barn. A wooden
rack may be placed on a sloping area
convenient to the hydrant, where the
work may be done much better. AT
the same time the dampness is kept
out Of the horse barn.

Cloudy Film on E,rnit,,r.

There is a cloudy white film with
blue tint in it that sometimes per-
sists in spreading itself over the pol
ished woodwork of our furniture. It
appears on the piano case frequently,
or perhaps shows more readily there
because of the extent of smooth sur
face. But fortunately there is simple
remedy for this state of things-just
to wash the wood with warm water and
white soap, and dry it off well. Then
use mixture of one-third of turpen-
tine to two-thirds of crude oil; dip a
very soft cloth in this, squeeze it out,
and rub the wood surface with it, until
not trace of the application remains.
The blue-white film will all have disap-
peared.

Beauty of Gay Head.

Examination Of the brightly hued

ject from the ocean. The clays are
red, blue and white; the sand white

of these are arranged individual strata

but seven, leaving the remainder to

1t has been found that the birds

made its home near a wheat field, the
crop contained mostly terminated
wheat; If near a cornfield, corn was
found to be the principal food eaten.
Two of the seven killed were found

horses will not be warm enough if only
two are stabbed. If, for any reason,
the stable is too large, it is good plan
to fill it up with cows during the win
ter for the reason that without heat
there is no ventilation. Of course, it
is not wise to design the barn with the
intention Of housing horses and COWS
together in the same stable. If they
are in the same building, the horse
stable and the cow stable should be
definitely separated. The best posi-
in separate buildings.
If possible, horse barn should con-
tain a carriage room which will be
reasonably free from dust. Every man
who has a good horse should have q
rig which will be a credit to him. Even
now In the day when farmers are buy
ing automobiles to do most Of their
running around" the horses and car
riage has its important place. What
is true of the buildings, the machinery
and the farm wagons is also true Of
the carriage-the appearance is one
means by which people judge the char
acter of the owner. The farmer owes
it to his family to provide horses, har-
ness and vehicles which will present a
good appearance on the public road.
All horse stables should be well ven
tilated. The problem should be worked
out for each particular stable in order
that the best possible conditions may
be obtained. Every farmer knows that
there is a great difference in stables
with respect to their ventilation. Some
stables are built so that it is impos-
sible to keep them clean. The smell
of ammonia is always present and
when the doors are closed it is very
disagreeable. When a valuable horse
is placed in such a stable it can hard
ly be expected that the health of the
animal will not be effected even by
breathing the foul air only one night.
Horses are the most expensive ami
mails on the farm and the most suscep-
tible to disease; hence, the first con-
sideration in stable should be to pro-
mote the health of the horses.
A horse stable should be cool and
airy in the summer and it should be
warm and well ventilated in the win
ter. The floor should be made in such
a manner that it will not absorb the
liquids to pass down beneath the floor,
there to ferment and eventually pol
ute the air throughout the building.

the crops were found to contain beet
pulp and insects. An examination of
the beet fields showed that the crown
had been eaten out of many of the
beets, but it was also found that in
sects of different kinds had habitated

sion that the birds may have been

Growth of Tortoises.

It is popularity supposed that the
growth of turtles and tortoises is very
slow, and that they live to be hundreds
of years old. The impression has been
general as regards the gigantic tor
toises of the Galapagos islands in par
ticular; but the staff Of the New York
Geological park finds, on the contrary,
that they grow rather rapidly. A spe-
cimen received at the "Zoo" ten years
ago has increased in weight from one
hundred and forty to over three hum
dred pounds. Moreover, conditions in

The greatest return will be realized
from money spent in farm buildings

designed for the purpose which they
are to serve. A horse barn should diff

may be kept in the best of health form

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
