subscription percentage of 1903, one
per cent more than the st. Louis dis
trict attained. Mr. Rogers declared
the Minneapolis district oversubscrib-
ed more in proportion to it's quota in
five days than the st. Louis district
in four weeks.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD,

When you build that new barn there
are certain things that you will want,
and in order that you may get them
it is well that you consider what they
are. We are supposing that this is
to be a COW barn, or at least that there
is to be stable connected with it.
You will probably use concrete for
the floor and perhaps for the founda-
ton, and also for the drive floor, if
there is one.
With good wall the stills can be of
plank-in fact, the entire frame may
be made of plank at a considerable
saving. You will want a hay loft over
the cows, even though you only use it
for straw, because you can get the
room here at less expense than else
where. If considerable storage room
is desired there should be a gambrel
roof. This will give you more room
for the same height of posts.
A barn for two rows of cows should
not be less than 80 feet wide; and
anywhere up to SO feet is better.
If you cannot readily get sawed tim
bers as you want for the beams, you

own anxieties by assuming cares that
do not belong to them-which form no
real part of their duty or their work.
Some of these burdens are pure crea-
tons of ones own excited or morbid
imagination, while others appertain
to the life or duty of others, and not
to us.
1t is the part Of prudence, especially
In disturbed times, to slough off all
needless anxietieS, to decline the
profitless social engagement, to elm
mate the foolish waste, and to drop
the needless care. What is our par
ticular temptation in the line of wor-
rying? What is our petted melan-
choly? What kind Of sadness makes
us happy? Whatever it be, let us get
rid of it at once, for 1t Is q hindrance
and not help in our religious life
and our civic relations. We should
detach ourselves not from duty, but
from the worries that gather about
other peoples duties. This sentence
may well serve as motto in trou-
blous times: "Be content with doing,
without excitement, the little which
depends on you, and let all else be
to you as if 1t were not. "-Exchange.

ventilated. The size Is sufficient TO
meet the needs of the average farm.
We wish to say that an investment
in building of this character should
be regarded in the light of a perma-
nent improvement from which a saw
ing will be effected, and not as an
item of unnecessary expense.
VentiIating System Important.
One of the best investments the
dairy farmer can make is a ventilatiug
system for his barn.
Almost every dairymGn Is satisfied
beyond a doubt that ventilation in his
dairy barn is a necessity, but very few
dairymen have any idea what cOnSti-
tutes proper ventilating system. Ven
tilation is not a hard problem if you
do not take into consideration the fact
that you want to conserve the animal
heat, as it is the heat from the ami
mails which is going to keep the barn
warm.
A proper ventilating system will cir
culate the air through the building rap
idly enough to keep the air approx
mately pure, and still conserve the
animal heat in the stock room. If the
ventilating system is to do the work
it must be planned according to tho
building, to the height of the ceiling,
number of head of stock, size of the
windows and doors and other openings.
Each barn presents a ventilating prob
lem of it's own.
The only kind of barn which needs
a ventilating system is a tight barn.
If the barn is not built tight there
is no necessity for a ventilating sys-
TEN, because all that ventilating sys-
TEN can do is to supply fresh air to
the animals at all times, take the foul
air out of the barn, and do this with
out destroying the purpose of the barn,
which was to keep the animals warm.

Good Siding Desirable.
It will pay you to get good grade
of siding. You will get better barn.
1t can be made to look better and can
be kept looking better, for of course
you will want to paint 1t.
Have plenty of windows. The rule
is square feet for each COW or
horse. Windows on the end will admit
more light than when on the side.
When there are two rows of cows
1t is an advantage to have them face
In toward the center of the barn; but
there are good reasons also for hav-
ing them face out. The barn can be
cleaned out and kept clean easier with
the latter arrangement.
Now that silo: You may not be
ready to build, but you can at least
plan so that when you do build you
will not make extra work getting
ready. Also make some provisions for
running water in the barn. In short,
plan for the future and make every
step count toward the final result.
Take, for instance, the 60-foot gam

companying design. 1t Is a commodl-
