The stable floor. of course, is the
most important. How this floor Ia d.
vided for horses and cows, and how
the stalls are arranged are shown by
the floor plan that accompanies the
exterior view. It will be noted that d
solid wall with door in the center
divides the horses from the cows This
method of construction is required by
law In some states. as the ammonia
fumes from the horse stable are likely
to contamlnate the milk. In the horse
stable there are nine single stalls, and
room for the harness. The stalls
face a center alleyway. over which is
carrier run on a track that Is used
to transport feed to the hangers. This
track extends to the rear Of the stalls,
so that the carrier may be used to
take out manure. About two-thirds Of
the stable door Is devoted to the dairy
stable. It will be seen by the plan
that there are IA stalls In each row
facing the feeding alley, besides four
large box stalls for calves and bull.
The dotted line on the plan shows the
run of the carrier track, which extends
to the feed room that connects the
silos with the barn. This arrangement
permits the sllage to be thrown down
In the feed room, loaded into the car
rier and transported directly to the
hangers. The small circles at the
stall heads kenote drinking cups,
which are connected with the farm

Time was In the history Of American
farms when a barn was merely a poor

live stock and some of the feed need
ed to maitain the animals throughout
the winter months. No particular at

animals other than a roof over their
heads and walls to break the winter
winds. Cows housed In these strltc-
lures were cold and a great percent
age Of the feed they consumed was
used up to maintain the required body
heat, and little went to produce milk.
Horses were not needed for farm work

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
Of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Z Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits OF drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the internal surface
to the air which always contains mi
cro-organisms. and thus may hasten
decomposition; but It should be re-
membered also that the viscera decom-
pose more rapidly than other parts of
the body. and IL left they may faint
or infect the rest of the bird.

drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. 1t
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly. and partly drawn ones

yellowish eggs on the underside Of the
potato leaves. In few days these

piled they will soon strip the potato
plants of their leaves.

insects the method of attack of which

A comparison of this barn with
those In use twenty or thirty, years
ago. and the structures found on too
many American farms today, will give
4 good idea Of the progress IN barn
construction and equipment. Dirty,
dark, cold and drafty structures are
expensive because they cut down pro-
duction and increase labor cost, while
the modern barns increase production
and cut labof COSTS. { SgagV Y 4

structed farm building was expensive.
Improved that when dairy animals are
kept In weather-proof building the
milk flow greatly increases during the
cold weather. Better buildings demon
strated that there were means Of not
only keeping the ANIMALS more healthy
and productive, but Of doing the work
necessary in caring for the live stock
more easily and In less time. Step by
step the design of barns was Inn
proved, until barn architecture be-
came so important that 1t attracted
the attention of the architectural pro-
fession. and an intensive study of the
needs aof the live stock and the farm
owner has, brought about standard ar

The modern barn. like the modern
home, Is built with two ideas upper
most; comfort and eonveniences-com
for. for the animals that are to live
in II, and convenience for the men
who care for the animals. Modern
barns are constructed of good materi-
ais and are put up in tfrst-class work

with systems Of ventilation that, keep

BUILDS WEEvlL-PRooF CRIB
Southern Farmer Demonstrates How
Log Building Can Be Made Secure
Against insects.

The county agent Of Taylor county,
Fla. reports that one farmer In his
community has worked out a way by
which a log corn crib can be made
practically alright to guard the corn
against weeyils. This farmer put
three or four inches OF dirt on the
floor and covered II with another floor.
The walls were covered with rough
lumber, and the cracks outside were
flied with clay. The door fSeings
were padded with cloth and the door
made Of two layers Of cypress lumber.

This arrangement cost about $40. In

number Of years, but 1t was not pos
sible to introduce It extensively be-
cause of scarcity of seed. In the re-
gion where 1t was most valuable 1t has
not been feasible to raise purple vetch
In large quantities because of climatic
conditions. In the North, on the
other hand, the seed can be grown sue
cessfully, but there the purple vetch
is not In as great favor for forage
as common vetch, which Is harder and
has become established In popularity.
To make a bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work of number of years
on the part of the department experts.
It was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch In the
South, and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers to substitute 1t to some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted in the market,
and also because, where sale was eff
fected, farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock. reserying no seed
to maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, large portion OK
the yield being Kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon, farmers will receive 14ls cents
pound for purple vetch seed, which
should give them from $3.50 to $500
per acre in addition to the straw From
now on II Is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.

From Our Exchanges

R. H. Sitter, of Grey Eagle, has Sc
cured a court injunction restraining
Todd county from doing anything
further to establish or construct the
state road from Swanville through
Grey Eagle to Sank Centre. Papers
in the case were filed at the Court
house March 10 and a hearing will be
held at this term of court to deter
mine whether or not the injunction
is to be permanent. Mr.. Sitter asks
for the injunction on the ground that
the proceedings in the matter of de-
signaling the road are null and void
because of legal and other technical
errors. His complaint alleges that
the description of the road in indie.
finite and that the notices for hear
ings were not properly posted, and
that the hearings, therefore, before
the county board were not legal. The
complaint also states that while the
law requires the names of "a free
holders on the original road petition,
this petition while it contained 25
names, more than 5 of them were not
freeholders or residents of Todd
county, and that therefore the origi-
nal petition is technically defective.
The injunction also restraints the
county from further proceedings in
the sale of $4,000 bonds to build
this road The effect of the injunc-
ton is to hold up all operations on
the road and if there are any con-
siderable delays in hearings or de-
cisions it will mean the holding up
