Flowers That Are Weather Prophets

7 tO"cTS HaC ARE weather HTOpneIS.
We hear a good deal of birds and
animals as weather prophets, but are
apt to overlook the wonderful little
barometers which grow at our feet in
the fields.
What does daisy mean? Nothing but
days eye" The daisy opens wide
for fine day, but when rain is COM
ing wraps up its center and protects
it by means of folding straylike outer
petals over the central tubular
florctS
The dandelion has a similar habit
Best known of all such propheticaI
plants is the scarlet pimpernel, the
poor mans weather glass" which is
really capital barometer. If it opens
wide in the morning, you can safely
bet against rain before night When
chicllwood flowers are fully open,
you are safe from rain for many
hours, but when on a seemingly fair
morning the tiny blooms are slow to
disclose themselves, then it will rain
before shutdown.

Curious Chinese Copy Book"

A curious kind Of copy book is used
by Chinese children. The ideographs
are so complicated that II youngster
cannot copy them frcehand, but must
begin by tracing them from model,
as American children trace maps. An
ordinary copy book such as is used
in the lower grades has no space for
the children to write The pages are
entirely covered with copy. Eight
characters are generally shown on one
page, each in a square, and each made
about ten times the size of ordinary
writing.
Over this copy is placed tracing pa
per and the character is drawn as &C
curateIy as possible.
The books are written in black and
corrected in red ink by the schoolmas-
ters

QuireS no more time or labor to care
for the one than for the other.
At the last census-1920-les than
per cent Of the dairy cows in the
United States were pure bredS. The
average milk production per COW was
under 1000 pounds. It Is a mighty
poor pure-bred, and one that breeders
do not consider worth keeping, that
does not give more than twice that
amount.
The second requirement for success
with dairy herds is the right sort Of
housing. Dairy animals to produce at
their maximum must have warm, we'll
ventilated quarters during the five or
six months they are not on pasture.
They must have a continuous supply
of fresh water. Those are the re-
quirements for maximum milk flow.
Shown in the Illustration is the type
Of barn that dairymen build to house
their herds. This dairy barn is small
designed to house 20 cows-but it
has the requirements that go to make
1airying profitable. 1t is a well con-
structed, weathertight frame building,
set on a concrete foundation The
stable floor is of concrete, also, max
ing it easy to keep clean and sanitary.
Above the dairy stable is NOW room
for a supply of hay large enough to
carry the animals through the winter,
while by adding a silo at one end
fhe dairyman will have storage
capacity for all the feed the COWS will
require during the months they are in
doors.
The barn is of what is known as
plank frame construction method Of
building that eliminates posts in the
NOV floor, the roof being selfsupport-
ing The barn is Sc feet wide, a size
that barn architects have found to be
the most economical to build and suf-
friont for two rows of stalls, feed
ing alley through the center and lit
ter alleys along the sides.
Thc Hn0r plan that accompanies the
exterior view of the building shows
how the stalls are arranged They are
