make COWS productive-fresh air, plen-
ty of fresh water and good feed. The
latter is supplied in part by the silo
shown at one corner of the barn. This
silo has capacity ample TO keep the
cows In fresh, green ensilage through
out the winter. Fresh water fresh air,
good feed and comfort go a long way
toward increasing the dairy farm prof
its.
Labor has been and will continue to
be q large item of farm expense.
Wages are high and men hard to get.
But In the modern dairy barn a great
deal of labor is saved by its equipment.
The floor of this barn is of concrete,
with cutters at the rear Of the stalls.
These cutters collect the manure, from
which it is fOrked to the carrier that
runs on the overhead track, shown on
the plan by dot-and-dash lines. The
carrier is a great barn labOr-Saver. 1t
not only removes the litter to the ma
nure pile or shed at the back Of the
barn, but conveys the feed and forage
to the stalls. After the litter is re-
moved the cutters are flushed and the
barn is as clean as most cellars.
Plenty of windows to admit sunshine
are also shown in this plan. Sunshine
is valuable in the dairy stable, not only
for its warmth but also for its
germ-killing quality. The windows al
low the sunshine to strike the litter al
leys and go a great way toward keep
ing the stable free from disease germs.
This is a modern home for COWS
one that keeps them comfortable and
productive. A cold COW Is an uncom-
Portable COW, and most of the feed she
consumes in a barn that is not wealth
er-tight goes to supply warmth for her
| body, rather than to the production of

GRAPE CUTTINGS FOR FUTURE
Profitable Practice to Get Them Ready
for Spring PIanting-Prevent
Freezing.

Farmers wishing to set out vine
yards will profit by making grape cut
tings and getting them ready for
spring planting according to hOrticul-
turists at the Ohio experiment station.
A number Of cuttings may be made
from one vine, and after one year of
cultivation In a small nursery lot the
young vines are ready for planting.
Cuttings should be taken from new
wood each cutting having two to three
buds upon it. The cuttings are from
S TO II inches long, the bottom being
trimmed close to the first bud, while
the top of the cutting has or 3 inches
of wood above the top bud.
These are tied in bundles and placed
in damp sand in the cellar or buried
out Of doors and covered to prevent
injury from severe freezing.
In the spring the cuttings are set
in rows 3 feet apart and inches in
the row. Only the upper bud is al
lowed to extend above the ground, SO
that the other buds will develop roots.

MAKING STRAWBERRIES SURE
Ample Supply of Moisture Is Essential
During Both Growing and Fruit
ing Seasons.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment o3 Agriculture)
Strawberries must have an ample
supply of moisture not only during the
season of bearing fruit but also
throughout the growing season. For
this reason irrigation is necessary to
make the crop reasonably sure in most
sections of the western United States.
AS strawberries have a shallow root
system the surface soil must be kept
moist and irrigation must be more fire.
quent than for many plants whose
roots penetrate the soil deeply. The
number of irrigations, however, will
depend largely on the character and
frequency of the tilage used In con-
serving moisture and on the type and
condition of the soil. II the burrows
are thoroughly cultivated as soon as
fhe moisture conditions permit after,
each irrigation the number of applica-
| flons Of water can be materially re-
Quced, as compared with the number
required when cultivation Is neglected.
In the lighter soils, during the bearing
season, the fields may be irrigated as
often as every four to six days, and
an heavy soils every week or two Dur
ing the months when the plants are not
| fruiting only enough water to keep
them in thrifty, growing condition is
necessary.
During the picking period the usual
| practice is to irrigate Immediately
after each picking. When there is dan
ger that the water in the burrows may
not be absorbed before the following
picking the field may be covered by
| two applications, alternate burrows
being irrigated in turn.
In many parts of the western states
the soils contain alkali, and alkaline
salts are brought to the surface in
! such quantities as a result of irriga-
zion that the strawberry plants are in

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
go many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Its Practical Value in a Num-

One Of the most remarkable ma
chimes In the world has just been in
vented by an Englishman, w. P, Hoyle,
1t converts dust into Cash-Or, more
correctly speaking, it extracts what is
worth saving from rubbish and pre-
pares it for redistribution. Cinders
are washed, dust is converted into fer
tilizer, tins are cleaned, and paper
and rags are sorted. Another bit of
machinery used in this wonderful ire
fuse recovery plant" deals with clink-
ers, turning them into nodded con-
crete blocks for building. 1t has been
proved that every hundred tons of
waste produce $160, and since a town
of 10000 inhabitants discards about
one hundred tons of rubbish daily one
can easily work out the municipal
revenue that such a plant would pro-
duce. Not Il few towns in the United
Kingdom have already installed a
Hoyle rubbish converting plant. Aber-

lowing of the leaves in the lower spots
in the field. In selecting site for a
strawberry field places where the soils
are known to contain alkali should be
avoided.
Another limiting factor in growing
strawberries in some localities in the
West are nematOdeS, a parasite also
known as eelworms- and gallworms.
Their effect, which is usually manifest
first on the roots, is commonly called
root knot because of the knotlike en-
largements they produce. Nematodes
occur widely in soils where the win
ter climate is so mild that the ground
rarely freezes more than a few inches
deep, or does not freeze at ALL Straw
berries should not be planted in soil
known to be infested with nematOdes
and plants should not be used which
have been grown in infested areas.

The little Spanish town of San
Luis, the county seat of COstilla coun-
ty, Colo, in the lower end of the val
ley, will welcome its first bank when
the State bank of San Luis opens its
doors for business. This little town
is more than one hundred years old,
and was one of the farthest Outposts
of Spanish settlement that followed
the northward push Of the Spanish
residents of Santa Fe and vicinity.
For nearly fifty years before the
first contingent of Americans, under
command of Gen. Frank Baldwin, now
resident Of Denver, arrived over La
Veta pass and established the military
posts of Ft. Garland, San Luis had
been fiOurishing little settlement,
surrounded by highly developed farms,
In the last few years the progress
and development of the town ami
community has been more rapid, until
now the town is considered to be large

il may be, for the prices now secured
by the farmer for milk and butter and
the by-produCts, such as cheese, make
it well worth while to conduct this part
of the farm activities in an economical,
efficient and extensive manner.
The first requisite for the econOmi-
cal conduct of the dairy business is a
weather-tight, modernly equipped barn.
Cows spend more than half the year
indoors and it is during the time they
are in the stable that the best prices
are secured for their products. The
greater the production at this time, the
greater profits the herd will show at
the end of the year.

barn. This is plank frame structure,

leads to the first floor, which is used
for the storage of farm vehicles and

ATONEMENT SCREEN FEATURE AT LOEW'S
Count Leo TOlstOi's ImmOr- tai Story In Screen Yer
 sion First of Week

Master critics for the past half cen- tury have been finding new things to praise about the writings of Count Leo Tolstoi, and all of his novels none have been more popular, none have won high CT praise than 'Atonement."
 This splendid story has been taken from the pen of the immortal Polish au- thor and fitted to the screen by master scenario writers. Then enacted by stars of the finest caliber. it has been filmed for the entertainment of the public The screen story, "Atonement." is to be the screen feature at Loew's Bijou the atre for the weeks opening bill
 Grace Davidson and Conway Tearle portray the leading characters in Atone ment" The story tells of a brother who rsked his all to save a brother who had gambled and lost That brother soon would be the victim of wagging tongues eager to brand him thief" And the other brother risks wealth, honor and happiness to save the unfortunate one from utter ruin. How his sacrifice work ed out and to what end his unselfish- ness was carried is told in only the style of which the master of words and fiction situations was capable.
 Revised for the screen, the story loses none of it's thrill none of the heart in- terest that is so outstanding in all pro- auctions of TolstoiS versatile pen And Grace Davidson and Conway Tearle, ac- cording to advance criticisms, lose no opportunity in playing up to the big sit nations developed in the splendid scenes provided by the great author
