a great mistake in filling up a barn

Mr.. william A. Radtord will answer

There are very few dairy barns that
are arranged as well as they might be.
A barn that is not properly arranged
cannot be kept as clean, dry and warm
as 1t should be.
The design illustrated below makes
II barn that looks bigger than 1t really
is. Because Of the proportions Of the
different parts, the length and height
are emphasized. and II very fine ap-
caring barn is the result. The main
section Is 80 feet wide by san feet
long. This accommodates 80 dairy
cows In two rows facing in. A wing
extending out at the back 36 feet wide
by 41h feet long stables the horses.

Farm Made to Pay.

For ten years a 5O0-acre farm in cen
trail Michigan failed to pay interest on
the capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes the farm paid
all expenses of operation and returned
them S per cent on an investment of
100000. These changes we're:
Substitution of four-horse for two
horse machinery: substitution Of bet
ter stock for Improbable cows in the
dairy herd; adoption of the silo plan;
allowance to the foreman, in addition
to his salary. of 10 per cent Of the net
income from the farm.
Expenses of operating the farm, but
not the interest on the capital. We're
deducted from the income before the
foreman received his percentage. The
owners yielded to the plan when they
found that for every dollar the fore
man got under such an arrangement
they would receive nine.

"GET.TOGETHER SPIRIT

The more the farmer shows
the get-together spirit the great
er is the advantage accruing to
him, personally and from a bust
ness standpoint. New ideas, pro-
gressive methods, valuable busi-
ness connections can be gained
only by rubbing elbows with the
world outside his own fences.
Taking an active and positive
part in community events, inter-
change of views with successful
men of affairs, getting beyond
the border of his county and
state and mixing with people
this is to make himself felt in
his own community. All this
has a broadening value, not easy
to compute in hard dollars and
cents, but quite easy to sum up
in profitable results.

Soak Seed for Fall Garden.

Owing to the difficulty usually ex-
p~erienced in getting seeds planted in
the fall garden to terminate, it is wise
to soak them a few hours before plant
ing. Cover the seeds lightly when
planting, then soak the ground, and
finish the covering with fine dry soil.
The dust mulch will retain the mOis-
ture, enabling the seeds to terminate
and to come up.

ALI Stuck Up

Two young Augusta men, as the
result of a weekend frolic are this
week itching and having a most I'M
comfortable time. Those who are
.ir' on the joke are accosting these
young men with the remark. Are you
stuck on yourself. today" The story
is this: These two young men with
a party of others went to a nearby
lake to enjoy themselves during the
week lend. When they went in bath
ing they found floating about in the
water a pine log. After much labor
on the part Of a young lady of the
party in a boat the log was towed in
tn the cove and the fun began. The
young lady, fortunately for her. went
away on an errand to return later
and find the two boys playing on the
log. When they came out Of the
water they found much to their sur
prise and later to their disgust, and
still later to their discomfort, and
still later than that, to their sorrow,
that their bodies except where the
bathing suits covered them, were
covered with nice thick pitch. They
tried scraping the pitch off with sand
and with sticks and every other
method Finally they plastered
themselves with newspapers in order
that they might get into their
clothes. After awhile they took off
their clothes again for another swim.
The water removed the paper alright
but their bodies reproduced the print
ing backwards. When they finally
got ready to so home more newspa-
pers assisted them in preparing their
toilet. Paper bound legs and paper
bound arms cracked under their
clothes as they made their way
homewards. sadder but wiser boys.
And every day they find new sticky
places.
