Bees Took Carload Ct Sugar.

Near the station of Fontainebeau,
France, carload Of crystallized sugar
was held up and within four days the
entire load had disappeared in spite OF
the guards.
Not far from the station of Avon
there are large bee farms, and while
the bees covered the car in swarms no
one supposed that they could carry
away the crystallized sugar. Nor could
they. But industriously and ingeniously
they betoOk themselves TO nearby ba-
sins and fountains and carried drops
Of water to melt the sugar! The damp
ened sugar formed sirup that was
easily transported to the hives.

apparently healthy, losses amounted
to only per cent, but when vaccina-

showed external signs of sickness
losses averaged nearly 20 per cent.
This shows that the man who puts on

hogs are sick with cholera stands only
about one chance In seven of prevent
ing fatal results. 1t is important, also,
to maintain hog yards and barns in

drain, making 1t an easy matter to
flush out the refuse. 1t is profitable
plan to have the drain connected with
a concrete tank for liquid manure.
Sunshine and fresh air are two
things that nature provides that cows
need indoors as well as out. At the
same time there should be no drafts on
the animals, especially in winter. This
barn is equipped with a modern
ventilating system. In the side walls
and following the slope Of the roof
are ventilator shafts that are con-
nected with the suction ventilators on
the roof These ventilators suck out
the foul air through the ventiiating
shafts. and keep the air In the stable
sweet and clean. Seven windows on
each side of the stable permit the
entrances of sunshine, which helps TO
keep the stable sanitary.
When It is considered that fresh
water is one of the necessities for
healthy, high-producing cows, it will
pay every dairyInan who has herd
of any size to equip his barn with rum
ming water connected with automatic
drinking cups at the stall heads. HOW
much water a cow will drink when 1t
is available, is shown by 24-hour
watch that was kept on stable con-
tanning "a animals. There was not
minute in the 24 hours when one OF
the animals was not drinking. Tests
also have shown that continuous
supply of fresh water in the stable
will increase the flow of milk 10 per
cent.
Such a barn as this is not expensive
to build. Costs, however, vary in diff
ferent localities and it is not possible
to give figures on the cost Of con-
struction of this building. A CONSUL

SIMPLE FORM OF ORGANIZING
No Capital Is Required, Farmers of
Community Meeting and Sc
Iecting Officers.

The simple form of organization
that suttices for cooperative livestock
shipping associations is one of their
leading features. In the first place,
practically no capital is required.
since payment is not made to mem
bers for stock shipped until the re-
turns are received from the market.
To organize it is necessary only that
the farmers of community meet to-
gether, adopt a simple constitution
and bV-laws, and elect officers and a
board of directors, who in turn appoint
manager.
Although in order to transact BUSH
ness it is not necessary for an associa-
ton of this nature to Incorporate I'M
der the state laws. it is advisable to
do so as a protection to the members.
If not incorporated, the organization,
as such, can not sue or be sued, and
in case of the loss Of stock from rail-
road wrecks or other cause the man
ager could not enforce claims for this
association, but each shipper would be
compelled to present claims for his
own losses. The cost of incorporating
is comparatively small-usually not
more than SO.

agriculture will furnish on request,

tation with the local contractor and
lumber dealer will bring an estimate.
This should be done at once, if the
barn is to be finished by the time the
herd is brought into winter quarters.
Such a barn as this is a good In
vestment on any farm where special
attention is paid to dairying. 1t will
save it's cost in a few years in the
saving made in labor and in the in
crease Of milk production. To save
labor requires that the labor saving
barn equipment be installed.
Costs of material that go into build
ings have been greatly reduced during
the last few months and a better sup
ply of lumber and other materials
now is available A visit to the local
material dealer and the contractor
will show that this is good time to
build, whether new barn, home or
any other farm building is needed.

cost. That can be done by conducting
his operations in a modern building

Experience has taught dairymen the
value of modern, sanitary, well-ven-
tilated and conveniently arranged COW
stable. One observer on recent
trip through the middle west remarked
on the number CT barns that were be-
ing built. That is not surprising
when it is considered that the modern
dairy barn will save 30 per cent in
labor costs, anG increase milk pro-
ductfon from 10 to 20 per cent.
One type of the modern dairy barn
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. Here is a frame structure, set
on a masonry foundation that is only
SO by Y feet In dimensions, but will
house 80 milking cows and enable the
owner Of the herd to do the work
necessary In caring for the animals a
great deal more quickly and with a
smaller number Of men. 1t is so de-
signed and constructed that the cows
will be healthy and more productive.
In exterior appearance this Is a
good barn. It has gambrel, or roof
with broken lines, and is attractive in
appearance. Adjoining is a silo, IL
feet In diameter, Of hollow clay
building tile, wherein is stored the

cows. Above the stable is a rOomy
