nit of thorough and easy cleaning.
Well drained clay floors have many
good points In their favor.
IA barn with two rows of tie stalls,
facing center feeding alley for the
cows, and with pens for calves and
young stock directly back OF the cows
and next to the outer walls, Is prob
ably the most practical arrangement.
This makes FOR minimum of labor in
handling the calves.
sample yard space should be pro
yided adjacent to the barn, for the
COW herd needs plenty Of exercise and
should be turned out every day for at
least few hours. Small calves also
need exercise, vet should not be re-
CURED to Withstand too much expos
ure. For open heifers and dry cows
q cheaply constructed shed which pro
vides shelter from wind and storm and
a dry place to lie down and SO ar
ranged as to ensure economical feed
Ing, is all that is necessary. These
animals should not be handled in large
punches, but should be divided ant
grouped according to size and condf

this bank over. just previous to the
latter move prominent persons and
corporations connected with the Bank
Of the Americas pledged $35, OO0, 900
more to be used in meeting matured
Eacceptances.
We thus have the tidy sum OF $780,

ness bank from closing its doors; and
yet our papers, which hcwled 80 when
the Bank Of North Dakota wanted to
sell Sc, OO0, 900 in bonds to save local
state banks from the farm market
slump, are remarkably silent on this
piece of news. !.
The federal reserve system, which
has been grinding the country banks
and the farmers, undoubtedly played
"a big part in saving the Bank Of the
Americas from the consequences OF
wild speculation in coffee, sugar, vege-
table oils and other tropical imports
to this country.
