NOMINATE HUNT
People Of Porto Rican Petition
For Appointment Of Arr
zOna'S Governor.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. o.
Thousands of Porto Ricans are Pc
titioning President Wilson to appoint
Governor Hunt of Arizona governor
of this island. Trade unionists and
fraternal societies are taking an active
part in the campaign and numerous
mass meetings are being held.
Porto Rican workers complain that
island authorities have denied them
every right guaranteed under the
Porto Rican organic act. Strikes have
been suppressed and the strikers
dubbed and jailed when they sus-
pended work to enforce a living wage
Thousands of workers employed in
the sugar industry are paid an aver
age wage Of 65:cents for 10-hour
day; women, As cents and children 80
cents. The workers are confident
that the commission appointed by
President Wilson to investigate de-
p1orable social conditions will support
their. charges, and that it will. be
found that 70 per cent Of the islands
wealth goes to absetee profiteers.
The Porto Rican organic act,
passed by congress, accords United
States citizenship to Porto Ricans,
but the United States supreme court
has ruled tina tthe federal constitu-
ton does not apply to this island, al
though more than 10000 islanders
have been drafted and over 900 are
now in active military service.

economies can be thoroughly appreci-
ated. In effect, 1t is two stables in
one. The horse barn, as should be
the rule, is shut off from the dairy sta
bic by tight partitions and solid doors.
Room is provided in the tremendous
o for the storage of sufficient for
age to last through an ordinary win
ter season. Any surplus hay product,
however, may be stored TO excellent
advantage in a hay shed. The plan
for this barn may be modified, if de-
sired, by creating more space for
horses, or by eliminating the horse
barn feature entirely and making a
dairy barn of the entire structure.

buildings may be considered in a sense
as a necessary expense, but on the
other hand they should be considered
I'm the light of an investment.
A farm barn is the farmers factory.
1T is a building in which he converts
raw materials into manufactured
products. In a dairy stable he takes
cheap feeds and manufactures them
into expensive cream and butter. In
feeding stables and hogpens he a
features high-priced breeding stock.
as well as good beef. mutton and pork
out of cheap grain and cheaper rough
age.
1t makes a great difference in the
profits whether this barn factory Is so
constructed that the animals may be
comfortable enough to make the best
possible use of the feeds given them.
Profits are also seriously affected by
the labor problem. Barns and stables
may be so arranged as to conserve Ia
Dor or to waste labor.
In selecting q plan the farmer HIM
self must be the judge of what he
needs. The kind of farm building best
adapted to one part of the country is
not suitable for another. Two farms
adjoining need different buildings, be-
cause the kind of farming differs
with individuals. One farmer makes
n great mistake by bllndly copying
what another farmer uses to advan-
tage. Every building requires care
full study TO fit it into environments
of the farm and the peculiarities of
the man.
In building, by all means secur the
services of the best mechanics within
reach. Their wages are a little higher,
but they seldom spoil material, and
the job Is almost always more salts
factory in the end.
Judgment is necessary in buying ma
terials; generally speaking, the best
is the cheapest, but it often happens
that a good second grade answers the
purpose just as well, while effecting
considerable saving in cash.
Farmers may save a great deal by
getting ready weeks, or months be-
fore building. Putting up even a
small building runs into a great deal
of work. Often the time required
is more than twice as much as the
estimates. By having everything on
the ground confusion Is avoided. as
well as the unnecessary expense of
getting things together In a great
hurry, often at an in~convenient sea-
son.
This COW barn is "a feet wide by so
feet long and will accommodate %
cows. There Is also space for several
horses.
The manure cutters and floor for
cleaning is In the center, so that in
this stable the ows face outward.
This arrangement makes it easier to
remove the manure and the plan is
liked by some dairymen.

feed overhead. It leaves a clear spac0
for the horse fork, which works freely
from one end of the building to the
other. Roofs like this are compara-
lively new. The first ones built were
not strong enough to stand heavy
winds, and some of them blew down,
but there has been no such trouble re-
Gently. If properly braced each side
forms a truss and the two trusses meet
together at the peak.
There are hay chutes at the sides
for putting down hay and bedding and
there is a stairway for convenience
In getting up and down.
To help out at feeding time there
should be q silage carrier to run from
the silo down the different alleys TO
distribute the feed. If a farmer wants
to know the number of miles travelled
about the stable it is only necessary to
figure the number of trips and steps
taken each feeding time, then multiply
this by the number of feeds during the
winter. If every dairyman would do
this the location of some silos would
be changed. The amount Of travel
will surprise those who have never
thought about 1t. This is one rea-
son for placing the silo at the side.
The manure alley in the center is
wide enough so 1t is not necessary to
have a pile of manure outside of the
stable. Manure is worth a great deal
more when it is drawn Immediately
from the stable to the field. This barn
looks well and it is a good practical
