SltudtlOn ear ago
The year opened with the for
fumes of war apparently favoring
the entente. The British had forced
back the Germans to the famous
Hindenburg line. The French had
established themselves firmly along
the Chemin des Danes. north of the
Aisne. The echoes of Nerdun were
strill ringing the knell of German
in that sector OF the battle area. The
Italians were holding their lines on
on the lsonzo. The rejuvenated Rus
intimation that the blow was aimed
carried the war far into the Aus
trian defense in Bukowina and Gal
icia.
Through August and September.
1olT, there came rumors that Russia
was exhausted by the war. and quiet
settled down along the lines from
the gates of the Carpathians TO the
Baltic. Stories were heard of frat
ernization OF German and Russian
troops but assurances came from
Petrograd that Russia would stand
true to her allies.

"0h, nothing, but 1t will cost you

nearer the mark. You take notice, Mr..
Bowser, that the handkerchlefs will
have to be cut from the cloth. Did
you expect me to take pair of shears
and do 1t myself"
Mr.. Bowser did not reply. He sim
ply looked uneasy.
"And the printing, Mr.. Bowser-the
printing? Have you got any estimate
on that"
Mr.. Bowser had no estimate.
"There must be handling and truck
ing, and how are you going to get
them to the soldiersf
"Why. l can send them to the quar-
termaster at Washington and he will
give them out with the uniforms"
"Don't be too sure of that, Mr..
Bowser. The government has never
provided the army or navy with
fancy kerchiefs or cough strip or
chewing gum, and probably never
will. Hadn't you better try some
other plan to show the brave soldiers
that you are their friend?"
Bowser rose up. He had n terrible
look on his face. He gasped and he
gurgled, and he waved his arms.
Finally the words came:
Mrs. Bowser. l am no patriot. My
grandfathers did not fall at Bunker
Hill or Yorktown. l am not an
American. l don't care q hang for

With that the ex-patriot went down
the hail and elapped on his hat and
banged the front door after him. and
he did not reappear until three o'clock
in the morning. Then he got softly
into bed and began to snore as only a
patriot. can. He had given up the
handkerchief question. but was still

soil year after year. the Improvement
Of farm live stock and the increase in
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 ii Is not necessary for any
farmer to wait until he has oil the
different arrangements made to jump
into permanent farm work, because 1t
is better, easier and more natural to
commence in a 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 a larger crop.

the soil to grow more clover, TO sup

A carefully planned and we'll built
dairy barn providing 80 stalls for cows,
generous sized calf pen and bull
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-.
mOdatlons 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, o

and the litter alley being placed In
line with a Dutch door In the outer
wall at this point. The bull pen Is 10

A stairway to the haymow Is framed
into the end wall of the barn In the

of the barn and a feed room connects
1t with the feeding alley in the main
structure. The feed carrier track Is
extended into this feeding room.
The ventilation system utilities three
lNrge-slze ventllators connected with
fOur-air flues carried along the rafters
on either side of the ventllatOr 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

In excess Of the combined effective
area Of the four-air flues, which In
