Victim Held as Careless

The other case reversed by the
supreme court bears upon the federal
employers act and the safety appliance
act. 1t is the case of Lottie l.. Kern.
administrative Of the estate of Harry
l.. Kern, against the federal railroad
administration.
Harry l.. Kern was a brakeman m
ployed by the Milwaukee railway who
was injured at Roundup, having his
foot crushed, the wound becoming in
fected and causing his death January
%, 1920. Action was filed upon the
grounds that the injury vas due TO a
defect in the coupler of q car which
necessitated Kern walking in front of
the car to open the knuckle of the
coupling.
The defendant denied that any neles-
sity existed for kern's going between
the moving cars and claimed that his
act was in violation of the rules and
that the injury was due to his own
carelessness and negligence.
The case was tried i'll the district
court and resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $4,000.
The supreme court. i'll reviewing the
case. found it necessary to consider
only the question al to whether the
evidence justified the verdict, and it
holds that the defect in the car, if such
existed, had nothing to do with the
injury.
The opinion concludes with this
paragraph:
IF it were assumed. in this case.
that the decedent knew of the de-
fective knuckle and knew that the
knuckle on the moving car was closed.
we then have n situation where the
deceased, knowing all of the circum-
stances, and with no necessity requir-
ing him so to do. and with ample time
and space in which to act, wilfully and
deliberately violates a rule of the com
pany governing his act. and by his own
carelessness and negligence brings
about his injury"

haymow. One OF the most impor-
tant problems of the barn builder is
the framing Of the roof rafters. BY
certain standard methods he can build
roof that will not only be proof
against the strongest winds and
heaviest storms but at the same time
it can be so built as to allow for q
high NOW with no posts out In the
center of the floor.
On the lower floor are located the
stalls. 40 in all. A driveway cuts
through the barn in the center, short
dimension. and provides means of
entrance for trucks and other vehicles
loaded with hay and other supplies to
be stored in the NOV above. Each
stall has a window providing light and
air to the animal occupant. The rows
of stalls face in toward central feed
building at right angles to the main
driveway. These stalls are steel with
steel stanchions and hangers. The
stall floors have been paved with cork
brick to provide soft restful surface
fer the animals. The matt floor Is
solid concrete, contoured so as to pro-
vide cutters in the rear of the stalls
for drainage and litter and pits for the
managers in front of the stalls.
Along the side walls at various inter-
walls are foul-air shafts for drawing
off the poisonous air which accumu-
lates very fast. These shafts are con-
nected with roof ventilators which
supplement the natural ventilation
provided by windows, etc. Fresh air
inlets along the stall floor provide a
constant supply of fresh air currents,
which keep the animals stimulated
and consequently in better condition
for more production. Another i'm

CROPS AND PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS
ING ON AGRlCULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Prlced, Fertile Lands,
still to Be Had, IL In Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing Of
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved, however, and while
that solution is being worked out It
Is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
Of depression and hard times and
placing hiT in the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
Of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
Is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained. Or In other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself In the ad-
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study, and must apply
the results Of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility, its conservation
and increase; soil moisture, its con-
troll; cultural methods, suitable and
productive varieties. ETC.. etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things?
Can they be done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
You get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully as great as
that of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestionably In favor of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because OF their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
1t Is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands Of Western
Canada would prove splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that in order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some OF
the burden that you are laboring un.
der, you must secure some line OF
cheaper operation, whether 1t be re-
moval to other parts In your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage Of that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding these
advantages apply to any Canadian
government agent.-Advertisement.

and equipment for quickly removing
litter and keeping the barn in tip-top
shape from sanitary standpoint.
Inevitably, the cow living in pleasant
surroundings will show her apprecia-
ton by increased production, whereas
If conditions are the reverse her
lessened ability to produce more and
better milk will be quite marked. The
crux Of the care of dairy herd is
the barn in which they are housed. We
take 1t for granted that if the farmer
has enough foresight to provide a
good barn he certainly will not provide
the wrong kind Of feed. His mind
does not work that way.
Such a farmer will build barn Of
the character shown here. This a
handsome building, practical but at
tractive in design and certainly eff
ficiently laid out.
A building will be just as strong as
is its foundation. Here we have a
solid concrete foundation surmounted
BY a frame structure held together by
heavy timbers and covered by service
able siding. Rising as suitable cover
is a high gambrel roof, permitting Of
ample space for large unobstructed

portant item in stall equipment is the
drinking cup located just outside each
stanchion. At any time of the day or
night the animal has access 70 fresh
water, which is one Of the most Inn
portant parts of the milk. In cold
days. there is no need for driving the
animals out to a trough which is
covered with Ice.
The equipment in this barn for re-
lieving the farmer Of some of his
heaviest work is also interesting. You
will note over each litter alley and the
feed alley between the stalls that
there Is an overhead carrier track.
This track is used to carry away the
litter from the stalls to the manure pit
and, In the case Of the feed carrier,
to carry the feed from the feed room
to the various stalls, eliminating all
wheelbarrow pushing. This track car
rier method has been found to be one
of the most effective means OF keeping
the help satisfied. It takes much Of
the drudgery out of their work.
In addition to the stalls there are
calf, cow and bull pens, feed room and
tool room. The barn is SO By 100 feet.
A 16-foot silo is also provided.

the driver of the jitney could make
such speed on rainy night until he

FROST KEEPS GRIP ON GOLD
Placers In Alaska That Are Only
Thawed to a Depth of About
Three Feet In Summer.

Certain Alaska gold placers lie in
ground that Is permanently frozen, only
the surface being thawed to depth Of
two or three feet In the heart Of sum
mer. In this respect they resemble
the gold-bearing gravels Of Siberia, and
the methods of working are similar.
Summer Is the best time to prospect
for new leads, but excavation of the
gravel from shafts and tunnels can be
as well carried on in winter. The
ground at the end of shaft Is soft
ened by a fire Of wood and then attacked
with the pick. But, instead Of break
ing under the blows, 1t mats together,
and this tendency renders gunpowder
and dynamite comparatively ineffective
In dealing with the frozen mass. With
any less powerful incentive than the
CLEAN of gold to spur on his human
antagonist the frost king would doubt
less win an easy victory In so desper-
ate q conflict.
