floor for the reason that dampness will
collect in the inner side or warmer
side of the wall especially in winter.
Low Buildings Best.
1t is cheaper to build barns and
stables low because lighter material
may be used in their construction. A
dairy stable should have a low ceiling
to facilitate ventilation. Seven feet
is high enough for ceiling but eight
feet looks better if the stable is long
and where there are good many cows
together there Is no objection to ar
eight-foot ceiling. A good deal de
ponds ON the number of cows kept.
The principle of ventilation depends
on the circulation Of air. Warm all
is lighter than cold air and it natu
rally goes up. In order to ventilate
a stable we must get animals enough
In it to warm the air. There is little
or no circulation in a cold room. Fol
the ventilation to work right the tenn
perature in a stable should not &C
below 55 degrees. This plan takes
the air in at the center in front OF
the cows where the cows may breathe
the clean, fresh air from outside be,
fore it becomes contaminated. The
hot breath of the cows goes to the
ceiling, spreads in all directions to the
sides of the roof while it loads up with
impurities, and finally settles to the
floor at the sides of the stable where
it is drawn off by the ventilators and
sent out through the roof. In order
for the ventilating system to worB
right the stable must be practically
alright around the sides and ceiling
and the doors must fit well.
There is light sill six by six bedded

milk supply is now traced to it's
for condition and health and the sta
BILE for cleanliness. If incompetency
or indifference has led the dairyman
to disobey the state sanitary require
ments he is not permitted to ship milk
until he satisfies the inspector that he
has mended his ways.
In the northern climate, warmer
stables have for years occupied the
attention of our best farmers and
stockmen. Bank barns were the out
growth of desire to provide comfort
able stables that were both warmer
and better. The convenience of having
all stock under one roof, tucked care
fully away from the cold, with plenty
of feed overhead ready at all times
to find its way to the managers and
food racks by gravity. proved very al
Turing to ambitious farmers all over
the country. But animals housed in
these expensive dungeons were not
happy and showed their discontinue
in watery eyes, lusterless hair, hot
noses and hot, feverish breath, with
fretful, quarrelsome actions together
with their inability to grow or fatten.
Too frequently cattle thus housed
were attacked by bovine disease
germs, which were materially assisted
in their work of destruction by condi-
lions so extensively though uninten-
t.onally provided.
Sunlight Destroys Bacteria.
Bank barns are always damp and al.
ways dusty; owing to their construc-
ton they never admit sunlight in guam
titles sufficient to be of use. Sunlight
is destructive to all forms of HARM

ter may be obtained in most any stu
alton by d powerful windmill. There
are other considerations such as conve-
Dience to the pasture fields and a
short haul from the fields in which
soiling crops are grown.
Protection Against Rats.
The excavation for the walls may be
just deep enough to go below frost
For concrete or cement walls make the
trench just the width necessary to hold
the wall material but after the trench
is done make a course of three-inch
tile. This answers the double pur-
pose of carrying off surplus water and
preventing rats from undermining the
wall. Rats will dig down at the side
of the wall until they come to an OBJ
struction; they will follow the obstruc-
ton along close to the wall, but never
think of digging outward to get around
it. The ends of the tile should ter

the trap.
After the walls are finished the
grading for the floor comes next in or
der. The profile shows the relative
position of the intake for fresh air,
the floor of the feeding alley, position
of the cement hangers, inclines of
the floor in which the cattle stand, the
gutter and the walk behind the COWS.
Besides the cross section the managers
and cutters incline with the length of
the stable. In order to locate all these
points a good many grade stakes are
necessary. They are set carefully to
measurement and driven down until
the tops come right for the grade. 1t
is easier to do this work before the
building is erected.
One point to be remembered is that the
wall should not extend much above the

Whatever accomplishments or sports
are to be cultivated in our girls, their
training for them should begin early.
Riding, swimming, tennis, walking,
climbing, music and languages-add
so much to the Joy of life that every
girl Is entitled to a chance at some of
them. While the girl is growing up is
the time for her first instruction and
for the really tedious practice which
a knowledge Of music and languages
compels. Timidity Is easy to overcome
in the young. 1t is especially sensible
to insist on having children taught to
swim and ride, and girls excel when
given a chance in these sports.
A glance at the habit of the smartly
clad little miss shown in the picture
above reveals that her habit follows
closely the summertime habits worn
by her elders. The fad for puttees in
place of high-top boots has extended
their use to the youngsters, and wash

The following account, taken from
Gne Red Cross Bulletin, makes plain
the way in which the Red Cross of
America is helping the women and

The American Red Cross has placed
at the disposal of General Petain COM

the sum of 5,650,000 francs ($1,13O,-

and "reforme" French soldiers and
their needy families.

pied France and Belgium by way of
Evian-leS-Bains. Four thousand chill
.dren have been examined and nearly
1000 treated at the American Red
Gross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated More
than 10000 have received dispensary
treatmff3f. and those in need of con-
yalesoent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands Of
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
are designated, find there the repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross.
There are more than fifty distributed
in forty-four departments, who take
part in the work of rehabilitation, sup
plying furniture, clothing, fuel and
food.
In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned
over to the bureau. These will take
care of TOO families, or 1850 indi-
viduals. The Red Cross furnishes the.
necessary requisites and in certain
cases advances money to cover the ex-
penses of construction. A refuge of
the American Red Cross at Toul
houses 466 young children and their
mothers who have come out of the
bombarded villages, while the means
furnished by the Red Cross have made
possible the opening of a maternity

Uniform state laws are advocated by
the United States department of agri-
culture as being the most effective
method of dealing with the sheep-kill-
Ing dog. Investigation by the DEPART
ment among sheep owners in 10 states
east of the Rocky mountains shows
that out of total Of 6,836, 492 sheep in
che SOP counties reporting, 1858 were
killed by dogs in one year Q913) and
same rate of loss in other farm states
the total annual destruction of sheep
by dogs would be 107,760.
But these figures are based only
upon the number actually paid for, amt
1t is more than probable that the true
losses far exceed this. 1t is known
that many sheep are killed which are
never reported to the county official.
In 1913 crop reports in 36 states SUBJ
mitted estimates which showed that
the number of sheep in those states
could be increased $50 per cent with
out displacing other live stock. Such
an increase would place approximate
iy 34,000,000 more sheep in these
states than there are now. OF ILL

USE SELF-FEEDERs FOR HOGS
Device VIII Give as Good Results as
Most Expert Hand Feeder-Time
and Labor Saved.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
BY means of the self-feeder the av-
erage farmer will have as good results
as the most expert hand-feeder, and
the results will be obtained at much
less expense of time and labor. For
the average farmer there is little doubt
which method is the more economical,
for the self-feeding system is advan-
tageous in every respect. Its use re-
suits, first, in larger daily gains In live
weight, bringing the pigs to market
able size at an earlier date; second,
feed Is consumed more rapidly, and
consequently gains are more rapid;
and, third, as there Is an actual saving
In the amount of feed required to pro-
duce 100 pounds of gain, it is shown
that the increased feed consumption
and the more rapid daily gains are not
made at the expense of efficient use of
the feed. On the contrary, a smaller
amount Of feed Is consumed In making
pork, which is fact of extreme i'm
portance at present. The last and one

the farmer at this time is the saving OF
labor, for although daily watch must
be kept on the self-feeder to see that
each compartment is well supplied and
not clogged, this requires only frac-
ton of the time necessary to hand
feed the same hogs several times

may be adapted to handle ear corn,
but such a feeder must be of large
size and heavily made in order to hold
sufficient grain to feed a bunch OF
hogs several days without refilling.
In order that the self-feeder may
of grains it should be constructed witk
some means of regulating the opening
through which the feed passes. For
example, cornmeal or barley requires
smaller opening to prevent too rapid
a flow of grain than is required in the
case of shelled corn. A well-construct-
ed self-feeder will last a number OF
years, and as it may not always be
convenient to feed the same grain
every season some provision must be
made to accommodate different sizes
Of grains.
Care should be taken to see that the
self-feeder is always supplied with
each feed, for if one part of the ration
Is missing the pigs will naturally eat
an increased amount of any other
available nutrient, and in such case
will make very poor use of it. For ex-
ample, when tankage and shelled corn
constitute the ration, if corn were to
become exhausted the shoats would
naturally eat a very large amount of
tankage, which would not only fail to
produce rapid gains, but would in-
crease the consumption of very high
priced feed. Too much emphasis can.
not be placed upon this point, for the
beginner is apt to become careless in
the use of device which does not re-
