BARN PLAN. Round Type of Building Has Advan tages Over Other Forms. The day is past wlien we can af ford to be without ample barn room for all live stock. The present prices of feed prohibit the old wire fence shelter, and the prices of lumber will never be less, and now they prohibit the old style of haphazard building, having a building for each kind of stock and then most of the feed out side and the water from two to 20 rods from the barns. This is an era of concentration, and nothing can fa cilitate the intensive style of farming and concentrate a man's energies to his life work on a farm like a com modious, comfortable barn. Personally, says a writer in Wallace's Farmer, 1 would not build a barn without a silo, nor would I advise any one else to do so, as the barn and its proper use is the mainstay of our calling, as soon er or later we must all come to the keeping of live stock to consume the greater share of our crops and then carefully . ave and apply the manure made. Nothing produces as much feed per acre cis corn, and nothing caves corn so economically as the silo. Neither would I build a barn of suita ble size for a farm of SO acres or more any other shape than round, and have the silo in the center; but to avoid criticism on account of the silo, I will sralli Plan cf Barn. say if a silo is not wanted the center space can be used either tor granary or box stalls. The round type of barn has ihesc advantages: First, the same amount of outside surface used in square or rectangular barns will inclose a greater surface in circular form. Sec ond, the circular form has the decided advantage of strength over the flat side. Third, the gable ends are total losses and are avoided in the circular barn. Fourth, the roof of a circular barn is self-supporting and does not sag, and is far less liable to damage from heavy storms. Fifth, the space inclosed is more convenient to use, requiring less time and work to care for the same stock than in any other type of barn. Here is a plan of the ground floor of a barn 58 feet iu diameter, having the same outside surface that a barn 36x00 feet would have. It pro vides room for 12 horses and 23 cows in stanchions, having three feet for each cow. This leaves eight feet behind the cows so a team and wagon can be used to clean the barn, or, if dairying is not fol lowed, there will be 1,150 square feet floor space, which will accommo date 30 to 50 head of young stock, owing to size. Everything can be fed and watered from the one alley. I defy anyone to comfortably house such a number of stock and as con venient to feed in any other than the round type of barn, and in addition there is a space of 18 feet in diameter in the center to store feed in. Hav ing built a round barn that has proven satisfactory in every respect, I can not speak in too high terms of it, and while I would not build a round barn if building a small one, believe that when we get to a size suitable for 80 acres or more there is only one proper style—round. If sand, gravel or crushed stone is convenient I would use cement to build the lower story of barn, and if possible build so as to have a natural elevation on one side so as to be able to drive in the sec ond story without too much of a till. CAN'T EAT TOO FAST. Feed Manger That Will Control a Greedy Horse. A box to induce a greedy horse to eat slowly is arranged through the partition with just a narrow opening " le bottom. You put the grain in the box on the ~1 outside of the par tition and the Jhorse gets it -IT " 'lL:Z££ slowly. It saves grain and the horse takes more time to grind it. A Wise Plan. The wise man who bred two or three sows at about the same time can now attend to several young litters at once, thus saving travel, time and trouble. At feeding and fattening time also, the economy is apparent, for they may bo graded and sold then in a bunch with less fussing. Pasture for Young Pigs. I The young pigs should be gotten out jon the ground as early as possible tc .•void their getting too fat BARN FOR LAMB RAISING. A.rrangemcnt of Building Which Will Prove Most Convenient. In this section of the country, writes a Jefferson county, Illinois, farmer in the Breeders' Gazette, stock rais ing has become the leading oc cupation. Sheep are easily raised and pay a large profit. Wo keep about 70 ewes and take de light in handling them, especially dur ing lambing season. Our main breed is the Shropshire, although we have a few Cotswoids and Hanipshires, The latter are good hardy lamb raisers. We prefer Shropsliires, as they havo closer wool and endure moro bad weather. Our barn shown in Fig. 1, is a con venient one and is large enough for about 125 ewes. When the ewes be gin to lamb we put the ewe in Pen 1. Then when the second lambs we put her in Pen 1, putting No. 1 j «u.»c 50 , 1 ' - j —" , njjism I 11 M•> / ! EWtS AND IfiMGS !• if*" "If |° "",7" / i j j, j |j>jj | nocK MUIMUUW * ~ C 00« (, C I in Pen 2, and r.o on until the pens r.re full. Then we begin to remove them j one at a time to the large pen for j ewes and lambs. When the lambs aro about two weeks o!d they will begin to eat some small grain. A pen for this purpose has been made (Fig. 1) and is provided with small grain boxes on two sides. The ends are made of portable gates. A small creep hole will be noticed in the gate between the lamb pen and the ewes and lambs through which the lambs can pass. These gates may be removed the next fall and again give the flock the entire barn. The gate marked X, can he set back to any desired place and thereby enlarge the iien and rack room, as more of them have lambs. The gates in the small pens can be made so that by opening them back to the right or left it will make an alley through which any sheep can be driven outside; the others are closed up in their pens. Tiie hay and feed racks are of a good type; those around the wall (Fig. LOTT 2) ran be easily ' 1 1 filled by leaving 1 j a space between the loft floor and the wall. Under fic ; neath the slanting board in Fig. 2 is a grain trough in which corn, oats or other grains can be fed. There is also a feed way that has this type of hay and grain rack on either side. By casing tight whero the slanting line is in Fig. 2 it pre vents the seeds and trash from get ting in the wool when throwing down hay. BREEDING UP IS CHEAPEST. The Way to Get Into the Business of Raising Pure Breds. The farmer that intends to secure a herd of pure-bred cattle will find it cheaper to breed up than to buy pure bred stock, especially if he is prepar ing to raise cattle for the purpose of making beef. If he buys all pure-bred stock, the investment will be so heavy that he cannot afford to sell the pro geny for the block, but will feel con strained togo into the business of raising breeding cattle, for which he may not have taste and adaptability. Good females of pure-bred beef stock bring high prices and he would need a considerable number of pure bred cows to make a good start. But with a bull he can in a few years have a herd of cows that will make it pos sible to send to market high-grade beeves —market toppers. For the beef maker, then, this is about the only course possible, and it is the course that, is recommended by the breeders of pure-bred stock. In selecting a herd of cows for breeding up, says Farmers' Review, a man should try to get animals in keeping with the breed of the bull ho intends to buy. Thus, if lie is going to use a pure-bred Shorthorn bull, he should pick up cows having the gen eral conformation of the Shorthorns. He will find it easy to secure good ani mals having in them considerable Shorthorn blood, though these animals would have be regarded, in his breed ing operations, as without any pure blood, simply because the buyer would not generally know how much Short horn blood such animals contained. The same is true in the use of pure bred bulls of any breed. If a man buys a Hereford bull he should hunt up cows having some of the general conformation of Herefords and use these for his breeding operations. If such animals cannot be secured in his own vicinity he can generally find them at the big stock markets and get them at meat prices. The breeding-up process offers many ad vantages that the other process does not offer. A Big Difference. The difference between blooded swine and scrubs is surprising. Good stock puts more money in your pocket than poor; it increases the interest in the business, and that is what makes things go smoothly, and keeps the boy on the farm. Clean Water for Sows. Clean water should be provided al' the time for the sows. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1908. 00 BUSHELS OF OATS TO THE ACRE. WHAT MR. KALTENBRUNNER HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN CROPS IN CENTRAL CANADA. Writing from Regitia, Saskatche- j wan. Central Canada, Mr. A. Kalten- ■ brunner writes: "Some years ago I took tip a home- j etead for myself, ami also one for my j son. The half section which we own \ adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek; is a ! low, level and heavy land. We put J in 70 acres of wheat in stubble which j went 20 bushels to the acre, and 30 j acres of summer fallow, which went 25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat | we harvested this year is No. 1 Hard. J That means the best wheat that can j be raised on the earth. We did not j sell any wheat yet, as we intend to j keep one part for our own seed, and i sell the other part to people who want first class seed, for there is no doubt i if you sow good wheat you will liar- ] vest good wheat. We also threshed j 9,000 bushels of first class oats out of ! 100 acres. 80 acres has been fall j plowing, which yielded 90 bushels J per acre, and SO acres stubble, which j went 30 bushels to the acre. These j cats are the best kind that can be , raised. We have shipped three car- j loads of them, and got 53 cents per ! bushel clear. AH our grain was cut . in the last week of tlia month of j August before any frost could touch it. j "Notwithstanding the fact that we I have had a late spring, and that the ; weather conditions this year were j very adverse and unfavorable, we will ! make more money out of our crop this year than last. "For myself I feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot ba checked, even by unusual conditions." j Information regarding free home- j stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatche wan and Alberta may be had on appli cation to any Canadian Government Agent, whose advertisement appears elsewhere. lie will give you informa tion as to best route and what it will cost you to reach these lands for pur poses of inspection.

He talked half an hour, and bis companion listened in a doze. " 'An' now,' the speaker pompously concluded, 'perhaps you will coincide with me?' "The other's face brightened up. 'Why, yes, thanks, old man,' he de clared heartily, moving toward the barroom door, 'I don't care if I do.'" —Home Magazine. Good Work Has Slow Growth.

"After drinking coffee for breakfast i always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe head aches; stomach finally became af fected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W, C. T. U., told roe she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article us Postum. "Another lady who had been trou bled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found Immediate relief on ceasing cof fee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. "So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," m pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. BUYING PAINT BLINDLY. Mnny people Ipok upon paint buy ing as a lottery and BO it is, the way they do it. It is not necessarily so, however. Pure White Liea.l and lin- j seed oil are the essential elements of good paint. Adulterants in white lead can be easily found by the use of a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil can be detected with a fair degree of certainty. See that these two elements are pure and properly put on and the paint will stay put. National Lead Company, Wood bridge, Building, New York City, will send a blowpipe outfit and instruc tions for testing both white lead and linseed oil, on request. Menu Thoroughly Varied.

In the Rood old-fashioned days of our grand mo the rs they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to euro disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Flains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent yeara in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: " Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It ia worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. SICK HEADACHE {„ .
