means setting an example for thou
sands of other farmers to do likewise.
A carefully planned and well built
dairy barn providing 35 stalls for cows,
q generous sized calf pen and buh
pen Is shown In the accompanying
view. This barn Is built near James
vile, Wis. The plan calls for double
row of stalls along the central feed
alley. On one side of the alley accom-
modations for IS cows are provided in
an unbroken line, at the end Of which
the calf pen is built. The stalls on
the other side of the alley are divided
into a set of ten and a set Of seven, a
passageway between the feeding alley
and the litter alley being placed In
line with a Dutch door in the outer
wall at this point. The bull pen is To-
Gated at the end of this row of stalls.
A stairway to the haymow is framed
into the end wall of the barn In the
bull pen. The silo Is built at this end
Of the barn and feed room connects
it with the feeding alley in the main
structure. The feed carrier track is
extended into this feeding room.
The ventilation system utiliSes three
large-size ventilators connected with
four-air f1ues carried along the rafters
on either side of the ventilator base
and down to near the floor line in the
stable. Fresh air is admitted to the
stable through flues which start just
above the concrete block basement
wall, are carried up the wall to the
floor joists and across to registers in
the ceiling above the feeding alley.
The combined effective area of the in
take fiues is figured about 10 per cent
in excess Of the combined effective
area of the four-air fues, which in
sures an adequate supply of fresh air
to the animals at all times.
The foundations of this barn are
solidly laid of concrete and the floors
are poured Of the same material, the
hangers and cutters being formed as
part Of the floor structure. 1t has
been found an advantage to slope the

RAILWAYS ASK LESS TRAVEL
That Is Latest Conservation Plan In
United States-War Con-
ditions Responsible.

1t is an unusual order of things for
railroad managers to ask people to
travel less, and yet that is the latest
conservation plan in the United
States. With the assistance of the
government, an active campaign Is
about to be started by leading railroad
executives, with the object of cutting
down passenger traffic. This branch
Of the railroad business passed all
previous records In October, says
Christian Science Monitor. The In
crease has come. despite higher fares
and 10 per cent reduction of train
mileage, according to the companies
statistics. Only short time ago the
various railroad managers were COM
peting with one another for both pas
senger and freight business. The great
change is attributable to the enormous
amount Of business handled, freight
congestion at the terminals, lack Of
equipment, and fuel shortage. all of
which are due TO war conditions.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

entered the field is doing all that the
steam locomotive does, without the
formers waste when inactive.
This gasoline locomotive is virtually
the ordinary automobile mounted on q
locomotive frame. The six cylinders
of the huge gasoline engine furnish
160 horsepower. Connecting the en-
CINE shaft with the wheel driving
cranks on either side of the locomo-
tive are rigid gear transmission and
an automobile friction clutch of appro-
pirate dimensions. The side-bars con-
meeting the wheels with the cranks
are exactly similar to those on the reg
ular steam locomotive.
When the gasoline, which Is stored
on the top of the hood, Is fed into the
engine under full load conditions, the
locomotive can haul seven modern
freight cars filled to their 50-ton ca
pacity at a speed Of six miles an hour.

numbers to consume the roughage and
grains on the farm.
More live stock and better live stock
demand more buildings, better con-
structed. Farm animals kept under
good business management are made
comfortable in cold weather and they
are given variety of foods to keep
growing in winter as rapidly as in sum-
mer.
Business farming for permanent
prosperity requires that good many
different operations shall follow along,
then merge one into the other. At the
same time 1t is not necessary for any
farmer to wait until he has all the
different arrangements made to jump
into permanent farm work, because it
Is better, easier and more natural to
commence In small way and lead up
step by step from the improvement Of
the soil to sanitary ventilated build
ings.
Besides there Is more real, genuine
enjoyment In building up farm bust
ness in this way. Each little success
brings its own reward. Each load of
manure properly handled and worked
into the soil adds its quota Of humus,
which fosters soil bacteria and holds
moisture to produce larger crop.

ply more humus, to raise more corn, to
fill more silos, to feed more beef cattle
and dairy cows, to build more and bet
ter buildings.
The greatest incentive to the bust
ness Of permanent farming is the
dream of having every head Of live
stock purebred and registered and
housed comfortably in all kinds of
weather, and fed beautifully on the
best the land produces, with both
grain and fodder left over in the spring
as a measure Of safety.
Such farmers are honored wherever
their names are mentioned. They are
recognized as being of more import
ance than statesmen. Their achieve
ment is of greater value than the build
ing of a railway, or the digging of a
canal, because 1t means permanent
prosperity springing perennially from
the soil in spontaneous profusion. 1t

In this business world of efficiency
there is one person who seems to get
through without worrying about the
mere matter of detail. His name is
Jones. He is an industrious member
of the Pennsylvania railroad forces at
SteeltOn, Pa. He came under the OBJ
ServatiOn of one of the business men
Of that town who decided to put in q
good word for the faithful servitor
with friendly official of the railroad.
Jones had been in the employ of the
Pennsylvania system for 20 years. dur
