Winter is the time when farmers,
dairymen especially, appreciate the
value of modern, weather-tight barn
for their herds. For in the modern
barn the animals are kept as healthy
and productive during the cold wealth
er as when they are in pasture. They
have fresh air to breathe, are warm
and produce as much milk under the
present-day method of feeding as they
do in the summer.
In years gone by any structures
that provided shelter against the win
er storms and cold was considered
;ood enough for the dairy cows. Now,

concrete gutter sunk into the floor.
The gutter also is pitched to drain
for washing. Shown on the floor plan
are cork brick floors. Cork bricks are
made of cork compressed into the
shape of a building brick. These
bricks are laid into the floor and are
desirable because the animals will not
slip, neither will they cause sore feet
or sore sides when the cows lay on
them.
Taken all in all, this is most mod
ern barn-one that will house the dairy
herd comfortably, keep the cows
healthy and increase milk production.
It's size is such that the owner pays
for no waste space, while at the same
time there is plenty of room for the
animals, and to do the work necessary
in the most economical way.
While building operations in the
northern part Of the country are at a
standstill until spring comes, farmers

however, dairy specialists know that
poor housing means increased expense
and decreased production. Feed that
formerly was utilized by cows to
maintain their body heat now pro-
duces milk. Drafty barns promoted
sickness and loss of animals. Incon-
venient barns meant spending hours
caring for the animals, while the mod
ern barn cuts the work to mini
mum.
For the reasons given, progressive
dairymen look upon good barns as pay
ing investments. Also barn planning
experts have taken the results of sci
entific Investigations into considera-
ton and have designed dairy barns
so that the animals are maintained
in a healthful condition and by in
creasing production in quality and
quantity, more profits are returned.
A dairy barn planned along the most
modern lines is shown in the accom-
panying illustration. This barn is of a

struction, method that eliminates all
posts in the NOW and cuts the con-
struction cost materially. The barn is
set on a concrete foundation and has
a concrete floor in the stable. The cut
of the roof gives it fine appearance.
Adjoining the barn at the side is milk
house, while at the rear is a 14-foot
silo. The main building is rectangular
in shape, SO feet wide and 76 feet g
inches long.
How the interior of the stable is ar
ranged and equipped is shown by the
floor plan that accompanies the ex-
terror view. Through the center runs
the feeding alley, with the COW stalls
facing it. Along each wall is a litter
alley. Over the feeding and litter all
leys is an overhead track for the car
rier, which takes the feed to the man
gers at the stall heads and removes
the litter This feature alone saves
at least two hours of labor a day. 1t
will be noted by the dOt-and-dash line
that the carrier track connects all
parts of the barn, so that feed may be,
loaded into the carrier in the feed
room and transported directly to the
managers. The litter alley track runs
out of the barn to the manure pits or.
sheds at the rear.
Fresh air without drafts is another
important feature of this barn. On;
either side of the building there are.
foul air vent shafts near the stable;
ceiling. These vents are connected
with the suction ventilators on the
roof. The ventilators draw the foul
air out of the stable without creating,
a draft on the cows.
Set into the concrete floor are san-l
itary steel stall partitions, swinging
stanchions and manger partitions. The
manger itself is of concrete, with al
slight pitch to one end, so that it mayl
be flushed out with hose and kept
clean. At the rear Of the stalls is a

The cockade.

The cockade, an ornament or knot Of
ribbon Or rosette of leather, was erigi-
nally worn as military or naval deco
ration or as the badge Of political
party. Cockades made of ribbons Of
the national colors were worn by sol.
diers Of the national wars of the eight.

expulsion of the Stuart dynasty the
white cockade became the badge Of
the adherents Of the exiled house In
opposition to the orange Of Nassau and
the black Of Hanover. From the hats
of the military it passed to those OF
the civil servants of the crown. Then

ENGLAND SWEPT BY LEPROSY
Dreadful plague Took Horrible Toll
in the Days Of the Twelfth and
Thirteenth Centuries.

In the Twelfth century leprosy
swept England from one end to the
other. The most horrible sufferings
and scenes took place as a result of
the ignorance of the population in the
care of the disease and prevention of
it's spread. Lepers were treated with
inbuman cruelty and driven with
whips from town to town. They were
ordered to wear a gray gown and ring
a bell wherever they went. to warn
passers-by of their presence. AS gar
lie and leeks were supposed to be
beneficial, they were forever eating
them. and their presence was thus
further advertised.
ST. Lazarus was their patron saint,
and from that fact came the name
"lazar,'' meaning one diseased.
Churches forbade their attendance
but left holes in the wall through
which the wretches could watch the
celebration of mass. Both men and

What air y'u calc'latin' t. do with
them wild roses here in tn tumbler In
the winder-keep 'em r chuck 'em
out7 cayn't find but one more
tumbler"
The voice Of the old Boss half
startled the man on the doorstep. The
gruff old fellow had never left him,
night or day.
The Pearlhunter had forgotten him,
the rumpled house, the dishes, every
thing. He lifted his face from his
hands, rose, and entered the cabin.
The Boss was pointing to three wild
roses-a red, pink, a white-in a
tumbler of water In the window.
The vision the Pearlhunter had seen
on the rock at the pool came again.
A vlsion-it had been just that, only
that; an exquisite picture flashed be-
fore his face and instantly snatched
away-a. picture he would never see

"YoUR FATHER~

Synopsis.-Never having known
his father, and living with his
mother on a houseboat on the Wa
bash river, Pearlhunter-the only
name he has-learns from her
part OF the story of her sad life.
The recital is interrupted by
fearful fit Of coughing and he hur-
ries ashore to seek a root that al
fords relief. He meets a young
girl whom he mentally christens
the Wild Rose. She eludes him be-
fore he can make her acquaint-
ance. A vacant cabin on the shore
has attracted the attention Of the
ailing woman, and they move into
1t. Their first meal is interrupted
by a stranger who resents their
presence. The youth drives the
man from their home. His pres
ence has strangely affected the
mother. That night the youth finds
within mussel the largest pearl
that has been found on the river,
the Blue Moon.

CHAPTER II-continued.

"That pearls intirely too valuable
to take chances on he muttered, lay
Ing his coat in the bow, with the shot
gun across 1t, giving the final shove to
the boat and leaping in. II reckon
I'll jist stick around till y'u git 1t In
tn bank t'morrow. That hell-hound,
tn Red Mask, stuck up tn Milford
stage down tn river last week. Your
Blue Moon would be nuts t him; an
we did make right smart fuss when
y'u found it,"
He shifted the six-shooter In his
pocket from between the edge Of the
seat and his hip, picked up the shot
gun and examined the caps on the
tubes
you en- all talk about these new
tangled six-guns that wan t., but they
,cayn't nothin' come up with good oil
,scatter-lock when things git tight"
The young man at the oars made no
reply to these remarks. He was think
ing Of that bit Of flaming cloth behind
the chink at the cabin. For moment
the impulse came on him to tell the
Boss, but he decided to keep his own
counsel.
The moon had poked her round face
up over the hills by the time they
landed at Fallen Rock. The Pearl
hunter picked up the big bass and led
the way to the cabin up under the
cliff.
The candle was still shining out
through the one small south window,
the DINNER for the moonlight, little
square of luminous yellow set in the
gray and ragged logs. Full Of the big
news he bore. the young man hurried
up the slope. The pearl almost
seemed to become creature Of sense
and sympathy; to feel warm against
him; the luster Of 1t to shine through
his pocket.
When within a few feet of the door
me heard his mother cough-hissing !;
whistling; choky He dropped the fish
and darted in at the door.
She stood stopped in front of her
chair, clutching the table. Her hand
moved over the cloth as If trying to
write. Blood was pouring from her
mouth and falling to the floor. He
sprang at her. She clutched his arm
hung to him. He would not have be-
aieved it possible she had such force
in her fingers. She struggled painful
~ to choke back the blood; then
strove pitifully to speak. No word
came-only that awful whistling hiss
ing gasp. He saw the luster Gle in
her eyes-the eyes that in their day
had been so wonderful. They were
trying hard to tell him something
words her lips were not able to
frame. He strove to read their mes
sage. In vain! There came last
gasp; her body suddenly stiffened,
uuivered, relaxed-and he eased her
back into the chair. The ron-Gray-
Woman was dead.
The Pearlhunter raised her hands
TO cross them on her lap. Some OBJ
iect fell from the lax fingers to the
floor. 1t was soldiers glove, stiff
and widowed with age.
Turning to lay it upon the table, he
stood startled and staring. His cry
brought the old Boss to his side. Two
words, scrawled in blood on the cloth,
glared up at them:
'eYour father"
There had been q further attempt
to write, but the effort had only re-
suited in scrawl, impossible to de-
cipher.

again. It seemed unreal as he looked
back upon it in the light of another
day. But no, there we're the roses. He
bent his face down and caught the
aroma Of their breath.
"Let them be- he said. "They will
last another day.
The Boss made no reply. To him
they were merely faded roses. He was
sitting on the doorstep about to light
his pipe when the younger man called
him. With the freshly filed pipe In
one hand, the unlighted match in the
other, he rose and stepped back into
the cabin. The Pear1hunter was
standing before small hair-covered
trunk, scarcely bigger than an ordi-
nary suitcase Of the present day. 1t
stood open, with the lid thrown back,
exactly as it had stood two nights be-
fore when he came up from the river
and found his mother dying. It's con-
tents seemed to indicate that they had
been rummaged through by some one
whose haste had been great-doubt-
less by his mother. 1t hurt him to re-
call the cause Of that haste. The
bloodstained glove she had held in her
hand lay uppermost, probably tossed
there by one of the river men.
cts time to know what's in this
trunk"
A certain tenseness in his voice es-
capped the Boss.
Don't y'u?"
"Tye never seen inside of it before"
The Boss was in the act of scraping
his match. He stopped; looked
around out Of the tail Of his eye, but
whatever his thoughts, he made no
comment.
"First Of all, here's this glove" the
Young man went on, lifting the glove
from the trunk. "You know where
we-saw 1t first"
The Boss threw away the stub of
his match and felt the time-stained
and widowed article.
"West Point" he muttered. "Hit's
tn kind them sprigs officers,
I'd say, offhand."
The other stood considering it; laid
II aside; and lifted the next article
from the trunk. It proved to be
woman's dress of rich brocade. Little
as the two men knew Of such matters
# impressed even them as being of
the very finest material and of fin
ished workmanship. Under it lay
other articles Of woman's wear, all
equally rich, though now yellow with
the stain Of time. Down beneath
everything else lay small box which
the Boss, from an experience which
befell him as q soldier in the far
South, knew to be satinwood.
The young man stood with it in his
hand, afraid to raise the lid-afraid
to put it to the test. So far, the trunk
had given up nothing. He was still
nameless. What If this, too, should
prove a blank?
At last the Pearlhunter raised the
Iid-some baby clothes, clean and
neatly folded; plain gold ring
wrapped in a handkerchief Of the
finest cambria; and, under all, pic
ture-what the Iron Gray-Woman
must have been in her girlhood. He
snatched it up, carried it to the light
of the door and looked long upon it.
After a time he came back to the
trunk. The satinwood box was the
last article in it, and it had told him
nothing. He laid the picture in It, re-
placed the baby clothes and ring,
closed the box and put it back. He
even took a sort Of melancholy salts
faction in replacing, with studied
neatness, the glove, the dress and
other articles, after which he closed
the lid, locked it, pocketed the key

ward the newcomer. His nerves were
as steady as the woods make them,
but they were not quite proof against
what he saw. 1t was the Man-in- the

A look flashed between them. The
Pearlhunter fancied the other stiff
fened, and he was quite conscious Of
