PLAN OF COW STABLE. Building Which Will Prove Conveni ent and Sanitary. The ground plan of a cow stablo shown herewith was suggested to a farmer who desired to build a barn upon the side of the hill. The floor plan contemplates two rows of cows Instead of one in the south, exposed end, of ihe building, and a root cellar, a cool room and dairy room separated by a hallway from the cow stable, In the back portion of the building and therefore in the bank. The plan 9- BUHf COOL ROOT ROOM ROOM CELLAR tsir* HAU.IAT to mors. 1 e * * 6 6 » 8 9 10 ?IX1) II It I iUXT U 14 IB U IT ia 1* to tl at Ground Plan of Dairy Barn. further contemplates the placing of the icehouse above the cool room, and the root cellar so that, without mov ing the Ice, a cool room adjacent to the dairy room can be pro vided, all under one roof. A drive way into the barn on the second floor Is indicated on the uphill side, which would permit roots to be unloaded through the floor into the root cellar, hay and grain to be put into the barn above, and the ice into the ice-cham ber, or the ice can be filled in from the outside if that is more desirable. With the icehouse over the cool room and root cellar a feed room can be provided over the dairy room, if that is desired. With such a plan the barn on the north end and on the east side would be entirely below the ground for the first story to the south of the driveway. The cow stable would be above ground so as to have easy ac cess and abundance of light, and the hallway and dairy room would be ground far enough to give an abun dance of light. The whole structure as planned would have dimensions 32 feet wide by 70 feet long, the root cel lar being 13 by 22 inside. If less num ber of cows are desired the building may be proportionately shortened. If it is desired to have all compart ments named single story and the ice on the ground floor, the Rural New Yorker suggests that it might be bet ter to adopt the same general floor plan, but to widen the back end of the building so as to drop the ice house in between the dairy room and cool room and the root cellar so that one side of the icehouse could be brought against "the cool room, and it would probably be better to make the floor of the dairy room and cool room far enough below the bottom of the icehouse so that the drainage from the icehouse and cold air from it can be taken Into the cool room. The wall of the root cellar may be made common to the stable and the cellar and this portion of the wall need not be hollow, as the necessary warmth would be provided for by contact with the stable, so the wail between the root cellar and the cool room need not be hollow, but if the icehouse is dropped down so as to stand between the root cellar and the cool room the icehouse wall would have to be hollow all around except 011 the side adjacent to the cool room, which would need to be solid for its cooling effect on the room. TREATMENT OF CALF SCOURS. Prof. R. S. Shaw Gives His Remedy for the Ailment. There are some interesting things fu connection with that, for instance, with calf scours. Those side issues are being worked out very carefully. 5 might throw out this suggestion that if you have trouble of that kind with calves, one of the best things we have used and are using almost altogether with which to suppress outbreaks of calf scours, is a mixture of tincture of rhubarb, camphor and opiate, equal parts in hot water, about a teaspoonful. -One of the most Interesting recoveries I have ever seen was about three weeks ago in the case of a calf that scoured and was bo near death the feet were stretched out cold and stiff, and there was every symptom of death. The calf was treated la that way twice, then was fed with raw eggg mid milk occa sionally and he recovered. He was the sickest calf I ever saw, so sick his hair all came off after a week or ten days, but he is one of the best feeders we have ia tha bunch ..to-day. AN ICE HOUSE FOR FARM. When Planning It, Be Sure and Don't Get It Too Small. The farmer in planning his ice house should not make the mistake in building too small, especially if he lives in my locality, excepting the extreme northern states. It is not so much a question of how much ice he needs for family use, but how much Is going to waste and whether it will last through the hot season until cool weather arrives again. A large block of ice will last much longer relatively than one somewhat smaller. Fifteen feet square 011 the outside should bo about the size to build an Ice house for the farm. Allowing feet for the space between the two walls and the space between the inner wall and the ice, this will give a block of ice 12 feet square, and if it is 12 feet high it will contain theoretically 52 tous, but in practice not more than 40 to 45 tons, according to how closely it is laid. The loss of ice from melting is very great in all ordinary ice houses, and especially is this true where it is taken out daily in such small pieces as is usually the case. The house should be built above ground and if it can be placed where it will be protected from the noon day sun by shade trees, it will be found to be of advantage, says the Orange Judd Farmer. A low cost ice House can be built with ordinary lumber and by any one handy with tools. The essentiah; to be observed m\ : First, drainage below and ven tilation above; second, a perfectly tight foundation. Warm air riser, and if a current of warm air gets started through tlie ice it. will cause quick melt inc. Third, a reasonably double wall surrounding the ice on sides and top. The foundation should be made of brick, concrete or stone masonry, and in which sills 2xß should be bedded in cement. On this erect 2xß studding 24 inches* apart. On the inside for the inner wall Vfe-inch sheathing mate rial may be used of almost any kind of lumber. Some durable wood is to be preferred, as these boards are apt to decay qnickly. For the out side good novelty siding may be used. It should be free from knotholes and cracks. The rafters should be 2x4, with sheathing on the underside, it is im portant to have air space between shingles and sheathing beneath the rafters, as everyone knows how hot it gets under a barn roof in summer. The space between the two walls on the four sides may be left empty if the outer inclosure is very tight, as a dead air space is one of the best nonconduc tors. But it will not be a dead air space if there are holes or cracks In the siding, but the air will circulate and prove of little value as a noncon ductor. If the ground on which (he house is situated is of a gravelly, porous na ture, nr» provision need be made for riil P Ice House Wall. drainage, as the water will be absorb ed as .fast as the ice melts. Other wise, the floor should be graded off, so as to slope to one point, where sur plus noted may be taken off by means of a trapped outlet pipe to exclude all air while allowing the water to escape. The opening of the house should be gin about four feet from the ground and extend upward nearly to the top of the roof. The outer may be made In two or three sections, and the in ner inclosure supplied by boards cross wise, putin as the house is filled and taken out as it is emptied. It is a mis take to provide too much ventilation. For an ordinary house 1-foot square openings at each end under the apex of the roof are sufficient, and it would be of advantage to provide for closing these on warm days. In filling the house never lay the ice on the ground. The warmth of the earth will melt the ice continu ously. The cakes of ice should be laid on old rails or any kind of tim ber. Straw or cornstalks are not good, as they crush tightly to the earth, and get wet, and water is a good conductor of heat. The ice on the pond should be worked out carefully and the blocks made of uniform dimensions. In lay ing, the joints should be broken and a space of 8 to 12 inches should be left between the ice and the wall. This may be filled with straw, the same material being used to cover over the top of the ice after the house is filled. The house should be painted white. , An ice house 15 feet square and 12 high will require approximately the following amounts of lumber: 26 pieces 2 by 8 inches by 12 feet,eight, pieces "2 by 8 inches by 15 feet, 14 pieces 2 by 6 inches by 10 feet, 720 feet sheathing, 850 feet siding, 900 feet shingles. It will cost at present prices of lumber about SBO, independent of the foundation. Sweet Skim Milk. If all milk is hauled to the cream eries in a sweet condition and pas teurized the farmers will be able to always haul away perfectly sweet skim milk. Use a Separator. The farmer that owns a few cows should investigate the matter of liand separators. CAMERON COUNTY PRE9S, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, *907. RHEUMATISM RECIPE PREPARE SIMPLE HOME-MADE MIXTURE YOURSELF. Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug gist in Your Town and Shake Them in a Bottle to Mix Thia. A well-known authority on Rheu matism gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip tion pharmacy at gmall cost, and. be ing a vegetable extraction, are harm less to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken reg ularly for a few days, is said to over come almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, dimin ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without in juring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relt' 112, few really give perma nent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the druggists will mix the prescription if asked to. A* REAL "HOSS" RACE. Country Fair the Place to See It at Its Best. If you would see a horse strap ped, booted, braced and geared to the limit, you must seek such a track as you see at the old-time country fair. Here comes an awk ward flca-bittet: gray which never went under 2:50 in his life. He is hobbled and checked and goggled, and hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and crosswise until there is more har ness than horse. You wonder how his driver ever got him into this rig ging, and how he will get him out again without cutting him free with a jackknife. A farmer with a gray beard and twinkling eye ob serves to his neighbor: "Last time John Martin had that plug out on the road I told him he had the old cripple overloaded with fust-aids-to-the-injured. Them straps that was cal'lated to hoist up his knees must ha' pulled too tight and the critter was yanked clean off the ground. What John was gettin' ready for was a race for flyin' ma chines, not a hoss trot." —From"The Country Fair," by David Lansing, in Outing. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON. In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son. when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suf fering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skele ton and was hardly able to walk. 1 sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Rem edies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel don, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905." Man Whose Memory Was Bad. For more than an hour a witness for the defense had dodged questions. His faulty memory was particularly exasperating for the counsel for the plaintiff, who was seeking to recall to the witness' recollection an event of four of five years previous. Event ually the man remembered "some thing about it." "Ah," continued the lawyer for the plaintiff, "what dd you think of it at the time?" "Really," said the witness, speak ing before the lawyer for the defense had time to interpose objection, "it was so long ago I can't recall exactly what I thought of it." "Well," shouted the cross-examin er, excitedly, "if you can't recall, tell us what you think now you thought tben.'k Excusable.

GIVING HIM A CHANCE. Surely Timp for Hubby to Do a Live ly Sidestep. Mrs. Wilson's husband was often obliged togo to New York on busi ness, and frequently did not reach his home until the arrival of the midnight train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the habit of sleeping peacefully at these times without fear, but a number of burglaries in the neighborhood during one of her husband's tripo to New York had disturbed her calm.' On the night of his return Mr. Wil son was stealing carefully up the front stairs, as was his wont on such occasions, so that his wife would not be wakened, when he heard her voice, high and strained: "I don't know whether you are my husband or a burglar," came the ex cited tones, "but I am going to be on the safe side and shoot, so if you are Henry you'd better get out of the way."—Youth's Companion.
