his farm three miles southwest Of
Denison. 4 was down that way last
week and saw the new barn which is
completed and has been in use all
winter. It is 36x4S with sixteen foot
posts. 1t is combination horse and
cow barn. In the COW barn are twelve
steel stanchi0ns. In less than two
minutes one man can fasten or re.
lease from an alley in front OF the
cows the entire bunch. BY the old
method it would take considerable
more time, besides the disagreeable.

dirty cows. There is cement floor in
the COW barn and o ditch or drain
built into it. A corn crib and granary,
26x32, was also built last fall. Right
