VERY FEW REAL RUNTS BORN
Understood and Unthrifty Animals Are
Generally Result Of Inadequate
Feed and Care.

Emphasizing that runty live stock
are generally the result of inadequate
feed. housing and care, the editor OF a
farm paper in the Central West adds
to the experiences which nearly 1000
farmers have already reported to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the subject Of runt prevention.
There are very few real runts
born" he declares. "They may be a
little understood, perhaps a trifie
weaker and sometimes of inferior con-
stitution, brought on by improper
breeding systems. But poor housing,
limited range getting rooted away
and cheated by the larger and huslSier
of tile litter-these are the agencies
by which most so-called runts are
formed. Given proper care and feed
/ until they get a start, the runts will
prove money makers"
These comments agree closely with
the opinions of others who contribute
ed their experiences in the matter to
the department Particular care needs
to be given live stock at weaving
time, since this is the time when the
dams fail to give the nourishment re-
quired by the growing animal and
when the young stock Is learning 70
eat other feed.

the carrier track over the feeding
alleys and the litter alleys relieves
the help of the heavy work Of cart
ing litter from the barn and feed to
the animals. These COW stalls are
of the latest type, set in concrete.
There are individual drinking cups In
front of each stall providing the cows
with constant supply of clean fresh
water one of the most important fac
tors in good milk production. The
stanchions are humane. yet firm and
sanitary. At the far end CT the barn
are box stalls.
This barn design represents one or
the most efficient types of combina-
ton barns for the average farm.
Additional ventilation is provided by
special roof ventilators and protec-
ton against fire by lightning is as
sured by the lightning rods which line
the roof. When we stop to think that
$3.50 of farm fires are caused by
lightning 1t is very important that
proper and adequate protection should
be installed on all of the buildings.
Needless to say If more barns Of this
tyne were found on the farms today
there would be less agitation about
keeping the boys there. In the final
analysis drudgery and miserable con-

lost its prestige and is now replaced
by the more modern and efficient con-
solidated or district school. 1t was
inevitable that the Anticipated barn

liyion. 1t has been one of the re-
sponsible factors in driving the boy
from the farm to the city. For 1t
meant untold hours of drudgery with
little recompense. 1t involved
haphazard methods, insanitary con-
ditions and poor stock.
Better farm buildings have been the
natural ontgr0wth Of the present cen
fury of efficiency and sanitation The
old barn could not survive. Better
buildings meant healthier, more con-
tented stock and Increased prodnc-
ton. Increased production is the fore
runner of greater profits and greater
profits mean more comforts of life for
the farmer and his family.
That is why barns such as that
shown are being built on farms
whether they are large or small. If
large enough barn is built for the
dairy herd alone. And it is well worth
the outlay But If the farm is not
large enough or does not have large
enough herd to require special barn

WAY OF RAISING MULE COLTS
Best Plan Is to Put Them on Feed
After Weaving and Never Retard
Best Growth.

The older way of raising mules was
10 turn them out at weaving time
and practically let them rough 1t until
three years old, then get them up,
wild as deer, for shearing and then
either span them out to break or put
them in the pen for fattening as un-
broken stuff. Nowadays the mule colt
is put on feed almost before weaving
and is never allowed to stop his grow
Ing until he is ready for the harness,
which time is reached a year sooner
by the new method than by the old.
The mule at two Is a good work ami
NAL but care must be taken not to
overdo him at that age, and it Is best
not to put a two-year-old in as a
regular until he is well accustomed
to the work, better still, don't crowd
the youngster until he is three, when
he will have attained quite bit of
that strength and grit that makes
him the marvel of the working world.

Mrs. Mcintyre was calling upon Mrs.

ter had, therefore. been sent away to

when the two had been gossiping for
awhile, where is Clara? ] haven't

"Clara is at college," proudly re-
sponded the fond mother. and then
added: and I am so worried about
her. / haven't had letter from her
for nearly two weeks
There is where you made n mis-
take" was the prompt rejoinder of Mrs
Mcintyre. Instead Of letting her 60

one Of those correspondence schools?''

ORIGINAL Curtain Idea.

One woman wanted to stencil some
scrim curtains TO match as nearly as
possible the design on the wall paper,
but was unable to procure stencil
design Of similar patterns. Easing a
roll of the wall paper left she cut a
piece is.o strips the width of the de-
sign on the paper, and laying the
strips of paper upside down on the
edge of the curtain material passed a
hot iron over them. 4Th6 result was a
pretty pair of curtains to match the
paper. Care must be takelI. however.

fng and are built next TO the feed
room which opens into that part OF
the barn In which the herd is
housed.
AT this end OF the building the
horse stalls are located. There are
stalls for ten horses with harness
room at one side. These stalls face
d central feeding alley down which
the feed carrier can be moved along
an overhead track. All work Of cart
ing feed In wheelbarrows has been
eliminated by this overhead equip
ment and as consequence much Of
the drudgery which has made work
about the barn 80 distasteful is re-
moved. A similar overhead carrier
track is installed over the litter
alleys in the rear of the horse stalls
for carrying away the litter to the
manure pit.
The barn is frame In construction,
set on a solid concrete foundation.
The entire floor Is concrete with cork
brick on the stall floors. Plenty OF
good sized windows along the lower
floor provide the sunshine and ventila-
ton that is so important in housing
animals. II, not only keeps them
healthy but stimulates production by
keeping them active and alert. Active
animals are workers and are con-
tented and as the familiar saying goes
"contented cows produce plenty OF
fine quality milk"
Passing down the main alley of the
horse barn we find door opening into
the dairy section. Here two rows OF
stalls have been built facing in. Again

LENIN NOT RUSSIAN CHIEF
BoIshevik Exponent Is Premier, Michael
kaIinin Being President of Central
Executive Committee.

Most Americans believe that Nikolai
Lenin is president of Russia, whereas
he holds an Office which corresponds
to that Of the British premier. Michael
Kalinin, peasant, for more than two
years has been president Of the ALI
Russian Central Executive committee.
His position is only about as politically
powerful as that of the French presi-
dent, and, whereas the French execu-
tive's position is mostly social, the
Russian president is mediator, cham
pion and political adviser of the
peasant masses of Russia.
Kalinins Office in Moscow is not
in the Kremlin, but in an ordinary
office building in the heart Of the
city. 1t is the one place in Russia
where no papers" are demanded
