"kind and Generous" Laughed Joe.

In fact, they are quite as different
from other creatures as is possible.
Hawks and eagles are the only birds
who resemble them in habits. Of
course the secretary birds are very diff
ferent in looks.
They are more like animals, even
though their bodies are feathered. But
their legs are extremely long and thin.
what have you seen today?" asked
Joe, who wanted to start right out
hunting before they had a quarrel.
81 have seen snakes" said Jim. Now
the secretary birds are known better
as snake killers than anything else.
And Joe was delighted,
81 am quite ready" he said.

"Come along" said Jim. "I wonder
why we wasted so much time talking
"We weren't so hungry them" said
Joe, painting. But now we are and so
we can't go quickly enough"
They ran on and on, and how fast
their legs did carry them. At last they
reached the place where Jim said the
snakes were lying around. Some were
sleeping and others were just doing
Jim and Joe each went for different
snakes. Now though the legs of the
secretary birds are so extremely long
and thin, and though they look as il
they would break at a moments notice
still they are very strong.
They always fight with their feet
and they do not use their beaks at all
They struck at the heads of the snakes
with their feet-and such blows as they

they were eaten whole.

and the litter alley being placed in
line with a Dutch door in the outer
wall at this point. The bull pen is To-
Gated at the end of this row of stalls.
A stairway to the haymOw is framed
into the end wall of the barn in the
bull pen. The silo is built at this end
of the barn and a feed room connects
it with the feeding alley in the main
structure. The feed carrier track is
extended into this feeding room.
The ventilation system utilizes three
large-SiZe v~entiiators connected with
fOur-air f1ueS carried along the rafterS
on either side of the ventilatOr base
and down to neal the floor line in the
stable. Fresh air is admitted to the
stable through 1ues 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
take fues is figured about 10 per cent
in excess of the combined effective
area of the four-air flues, which in
sures an adequate supply of fresh air
to the animals at all times.
The foundations of this barn are
solidIy laid OF concrete and the floors
are poured of the same material, the
managers and cutters being formed as
a part of the floor structure. 1t has
been found an advantage to slope the
! stall floors both ways from a point a
little less than halfway back from the
manger. A slight slope is given from
this point to the manager and a greater
slope is given from this point to the
gutter. The object is to prevent the
COWS from pushing all of their bedding
back into the gutter during the night
Gutter drains are fitted with covers tC
prevent loss of valuable fertilizer and
clogging of the drainage system.
The stable wall above the concrete
blocks is finished with S-inch boards
placed vertically, and the interior is
finished with ceiling stock so that the
stable will be warm.

A Goat Dress

When a coat dress has a waiStIine at
all it is either high or low, never quite
where the oId-fashioned waistline is
supposed to be.
The coat which has only a back
waistline has it low, and both the up-
per and lower parts of the coat are
lightly eased into the band which indi-
Gates it. The sash belt is more often
placed a little high on n side, with a
droop on the other, where it is knotted
or Topped.
Where there is a belt all round if is
not unusual for the fastening to show
one end buttoned about an inch higher
than the other end, the buttons then
being fixed to the coat.

same time it is not necessary for any
farmer to wait until he has all the
different arrangements made to jump
into permanent farm work, because it
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 a 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
loisture to produce a larger crop.
Each load of lime helps to prepare
the soil to grow more clover, to sup
ply more humus, to raise more corn, to
fill more silos, to feed more beef cattle
and dairy cows, to build more and bet
ter buildings.
The greatest incentive to the bust
ness of permanent farming is the
dream of having every head of live
stock purebred and registered and
housed comfortably in all kinds of
weather, and fed bountifully on the
best the land produces, with both
grain and fodder left over in the spring
as a measure of safety.
Such farmers are honored wherever
their names are mentioned. They are
recognized as being of more import

Chic When Rising From Severe
Line of Tailored Coat.
Little Waistcoats, Seen in
Many Variations.

A tailored gown or suit is often made
or marred by the neck accessory worn
with it. 1t is almost if not quite as i'm
portant to this type of costume that it's
wearer should choose correct and be-
coming neckwear as that she should
be topped by a hat whose unimpeach-
able smartness is only equalled by it's
suitability.
The chic of a trim, dainty stock ris-
ing from the sever line of the tailored
coat collar is unQuestionable, and it is
amazing how many women have be-
come at least ten years younger since
adopting this fashion.
There are, however, unfortunately
many women who are incapable of Civ
ing the careful attention to the details
of the toilet which is required by the
high-c0llared neck accessory, for q
stock collar of any sort must fit the
neck perfectly and be adjusted with
the utmost care at the opening either
front or back. This applies equally to
the hfgh-cOllared blouse, the lace stock
with the jabot attached and the high
collared chemisette.
