sometimes to be an expense is really

The farmer who builds must be

materials in his own vicinity, laying

Three prime requisites should be

stock. 3. Cleanliness.
The stable should be reasonably
warm in winter and cool in summer.
1t should have plenty of light and ven
tilatiOn. Especially is good ventila-
ton necessary in a cattle barn. A
sanitary barn demands fresh air, sun
light, good drainage and protection
against sudden changes Of temporal
ture. The winter ventilation can be
provided for by the Ming system or
ventilation.
Light is one of the most important
considerations in stable management.
A generous supply of it is needed in
the COW stable. In the majority of
dairy farms there is Il sad lack of sun
light. The old-fashioned basement
barns with Il few small windows near
the top of the wall allowed only a lit
tie sunshine, and that TO reach a very
small area in the center of the barn
where it was not particularly wanted.
The room in which milk is handled
should be separate from the stable.
The floor and walls should be such
that the hose can be turned on them
And the whole cleaned thoroughly.
The single stalls for COWS should be
3 feet 6 inches wide at least. The
depth may be varied as to the size OF

the cows in the herd; 4 feet 6
inches is used by many. The market
offers large numbers of patented
stalls and hangers, and devices for
tying cows. There are strong reasons
for favoring metal stall fittings.
The fall to the stall should not be
over two inches in ten feet. The dis
lance from the manger curb to gutter
for a 1,300-pOund COW should be about
3 feet, and 4 feet 6 inches for a 700
pound COW The stalls should be
about 8 feet 6 inches wide. Some
firms make adjustable ~stanchiOns that
set the short animal back.
The gutter is IA inches wide and 6
inches deep.
The manager is planned to be , feet

rounded corners, the front sloping at

Hi AOUDAD.

"Mr. Aoudad," said Daddy, sis a
vain creature and 1 must tell you the
story of him and of his conceit."
Evidently he is an animal" said
Dick.
yes" said Nancy. Daddy tells US
of animals we've never heard of be-
fore. Often we're not sure they're ami
mails. They may be birds or fish, for
all we know"
Maybe Mr.. Aoudad is not an ami
NAL" said Dick. HE somehow sound
ed like one but perhaps he's a bird"
Daddy wouldn't give them any hint
for quite a little time. He liked to
hear them try to guess.
"Mr. Aoudad," he began, sis one of
the Barbary wild sheep family. and
a distant relation of our mountain
sheep and goats.
His home is in the north of Africa
where he lives in the hottest, dryest
part Of the country he can find"
81 suppose" said Nancy, "they can't
put him in the zoos-or any of his
family-here in America. We don't
have hot, dry weather all the time.
We have all sorts of weather"
Strange to say" said Daddy, she
thrives in any zoo. He stands differ
ent climates far better than our own
Rocky Mountain sheep and goats do.
He doesn't seem to mind any kind
of weather, though in his native land
he chooses the hot and dry noun
tains."
That's probably the kind he likes
best of ALL" said Dick.
Probably" said Nancy. But 1 think
he must be quite a fine animal not to
be a weather grumbler."
That's his very best point" said
Daddy. But as l began to tell you

he is very vain. Once he was stand
ing on top of a high rock over in
the mountains of his home.
"He posed and stood first this way,
and then that. He held his head
high, then he dropped it a little. He
looked as though ready for a great bat
tie and attack, and then looked gen
tie and pleasant. with a different
change of pose each time.
HE thought he looked very fine on
the high rocky peak and the thought
that he was so handsome made him
very happy. Pretty soon several crea-
lures came along-they were cousins
of his but not nearly so handsome.
Still they were rather vain, too, and
liked to think they were fine look

do believe We'll &c home to our rocky
peaks and try&the same thing. 1t would
be so useful to know how to stand for
our photographs
"'Tm not so sure that it would be
useful said Mr.. A0udad, but it's very
nice practicing at any rate. And I've
heard of another animal who does just
the same thing
"'NNho?' asked the cousins.
The peacock, they say, is as vain
as we are. Yes, I've heard that moth
ing pleases the peacock more than to
admire himself. And l think I'd rather
like TO meet him. I'd say, you've got
a great deal of good sense, old chap.

"'What is the peacock proud Off
asked the aoudad cousins.
"'He has a marvellous tail of many
colors and beautiful feathers said Mr..
Aoudad. But we have big curved
horns and shaggy hair. And not only

TO WEAR GINCHAM
Fabric Is Worked into Numerous
Handsome Fr0CkS.
Silk Material Is One of the Newest
FaVorites, Shown in Really Beau
tifuI Plaids and Colorings.

There is no possible doubt as to
worn by smartly dressed ONE Last
summer this fabric, which has been for
many years generally regarded as be-
longing almost exclusively to children,
came into prominence as a favorite for
dainty frocks for their mothers. Max
ers of ready-tO-wear garments devoted
so much skill to turning out smart
frocks of Bingham that they very
shortly were lifted high out of the
economy class. Bingham dresses cost
ing from $35 to $50 and $50 each were
shown in the shops without pre-
liminary apology. Women bought
them.
Bingham is again exhibited and
southern resort dresses of it are be-
ing shown. That its popularity will
continue throughout the summer there
is no reason to doubt. Silk Bingham
is the newest favorite, and it is shown
in really beautiful plaids and colOrings.
A silk Bingham frOck may be just as
dressy as one of taffeta, satin, crepe
or georgette, and much more of a nov
city, states a fashion writer. A mOdish
little frock is of Scotch plaid silk ging-
ham, made with a triple tunic. That is,
the underneath skirt, which is very
narrow, measuring only about one and
a half yards at the hem, is topped by
two deep ~flounces or tunics gathered in
q simple straight belt at the waistline.
This dainty frock buttons simply in
the center back, and the neck is fin
ished with a collar made Of sheer
white ~organdie, which is crossed sur
plice fashion and drawn to the back,
where the ends are tied at the waist
line. Cuffs of organdie finish the
| sleeves.
This gown could be made up in linen,
in any one Of the silks that are pop
ular for spring and summer, or it could
be a more distinctly summary affair OF
dotted swiss or wolfe.
Economy will undoubtedly enter
largely into the selection of fabrics
but style numbers have not been re
duced.
TUNES are very much favored in or
der that skirts may not seem unbecom
ingly skinny. Loose flying panels and
apron effects are also in evidence.
The vogue for simply designed
clothes is traceable directly to the
influence of the war. More and more
women are becoming really usefu
members of society, and as this condi
ton grows clothes hat are practical
as well as becoming and beautiful
will have an increased demand.

ORGANIZES APPEAL TO MANY
Winsome Material Seems to Be Pop
uIar in New York With Women
Preparing for Trips to the

simple little organdie frocks that
sell for from 800 up, seem to have first
call with New York women who are

from New York.

lous. But really they are adorable.
Simple little blouses and gathered
skirts, made of crisp organdie in pastel
tints of green, blue and pink, with the
hem of the skirt turned up to yoke
depth.
"You cannot describe how pretty is
the effect of the double fold of soft
color. The blouse has a charming frill
ed fchu of white, which adds its inf1u
ence to the temptation to buy it. Blu,
it a be easily duplicated at home.'

New Year in British Navv.

Three hundred and siXty-four time
in the year is m%idnights passing mark
ed by the striking of eight bell:
in every ship in the British navy
At the moment when the old year
draws its last breath, and the new
year is born, the whole navy strikes
16 bells, but never on any other oc-
c%asiOn, for then eight are given to
bid farewell to the old year and to
welcome the new. BY tradition, the
youngest officer of the ship strikes the
bell, and by tradition the youngest boy
in the ship acts as his echo by ham,
mering the blacksmith's anvil.

The Helmet Effect

Small, close hats which come well
down over the head, and round collars
which extend as far as the shoulders
and come up high under the chin, are
worn together to give the look of n
soldiers helmet. One of these sets
is made of navy blue ribbon, with edg-
ing of some other color, sewed to-
gether. The collar is edged around
the bottom and top with m~Oleskin, and
a little rOsette of the same fur trims
the hat, high in front. This idea can
be developed in any kind Of ribbon or
in suede or fur. The effect, as any
one who has ever tried on a knitted
helmet knows, Is very becoming.

parsley chives and various herbs for
seasoning may be grown. A small bit
of the green but an inch or two in
height will furnish a flavor for sand
witches. Tender pepper grass will
soon reach four inches in height and
may be Used in combination with other
vegetables, the slight pungent flavor is
especially appetizing in early spring.
Before the first leaf of the dande-
lion puts forth it's head, cover a patch
of the plants with boards, so that the
crisp white leaves may be served
fresh as a salad.
Mint is nm early arrival and may be
hurried if in a sheltered sunny spot.
A few of the first green buds finely
minced and stepped in hot vinegar
with n small amount of sugar is a
most delicious sauce to serve with
lamb. 1t is also relished when chop
ped and added TO lettuce and pepper
grass with a little chopped green onion
making a most refreshing salad.
Watercress is another green that is
most wholesome. When one is fortu-
nate enough to live near a brook
where it may he gathered often it
should be a frequent salad. Served
with a s%prinkling of salt it is used as
a garnish for chops, but combines
well with other vegetables. The snap
by little green is also a welcome addi-
ton to bread and butter sandwiches.
Milk weed when it first comes up
in the spring rivals asparagus and the
poke grown in the southern states is
another welcome green vegetable. Sor-
rel, dock, mustard and various other
weeds are all good wholesome green's.
The marsh marigold or cowslip as
well as the dandelion are favorite
green's cooked until tender with a lit
tie salt pork for flavor, or served well
seasoned as any vegetable. The medi-
cinal value of greens cannot be over
estimated. They contain a growth
determinant which is especially inn
portant in a child's diet.

Simplicity in Hats.

Hats have taken unto themselves
the general prevailing idea of simple
ity and, save for ostrich feathers,
which, when they appear, usually make
the whole hat, are plain in line and
void of any elaborate trimming.
Often blocked silk hats are seen
with dressy clothes, and they have a
way of making a charming face look
just a shade more charming. Bro
caded toques of military line are no.
ticeable, and there are the ever-present
picture hats, often mushroom in shape
and artistically irregular.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

The sensible farmer realizes that
stables are for housing animals from
the weather, and also for feeding pur-
poses. Covering them from the ele-
ments is a very simple matter. Feed
ing them takes more thought, because
we must consider the labor of getting
the feed to the animal and the toll of
carrying the from the build
ing. And we have to &C further. Shut
in animals require constant supplies of
air and light-things they get in suffi-
Gent quantities when in the wild
state.
The problem, therefore, becomes one
of intelligent construction, convenience
in arrangement and the regulation of
the cost to ones ability to pay.
The latter is easily settled. Most
farmers know what they can spend on

O Birds o

In roosting, birds usually perch on
one leg only, folding the other close to
the body. The weight of the body ove
one foot, according to Borelli, closes
the tendons of the muscles which bend
the claws with the same firmness that
a nail would do, driven through foot
and perch. Neither rocking mol pitch
ing by wind or storm, shaking the
perch, disturbs the sleep of the bird,
nor its balance or center of gravity.
The great length of toes enables other
birds ia stand steady on one foot.

sorrow for the man who, instead of

So far no straw famine has been
threatened because of the war, and
charming straw hats are in evidence
in the shops, with military tintings
prominent in the color range. Battle
ship gray, officers tan, artillery red,
Belgian blue, cavalry yellow, and
"camouflage" or smoke color are among
the popular colorings. Often fabrics
and straw are combined in a hat for
very early spring wear.

Closing Hot Water Bottles.

The hot water bottle will not leak at
the mouth if the stopper be screwed
in cold Immediately after the bag has
been filled, for the hot water causes
the metal socket to expand and the
cold stopper goes in slightly further
than if 1t too had been expanded by
heat. After it is in place it too begins
TO expand and thus tightens and pre-
vents leaking.
