SMALL FARM DAIRY HOUSE.
Building Which Will Prove Convenient
and Cleanly.
"I have five or six cows, and sm
anxious to have clean milk, therefore,
would like to build a small dairy house
not too expensive, and would ask if
you have any plans for a small dairy,
or if not, could you tell me where to
get them?" So writes a correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, to which
query the editor replies as follows:
I can appreciate the situation that
our correspondent Is In, for I remem
ber being in just such a fix about fif
teen years ago. At that time I wrote
to one or two farm papers for advice,
ylgjted several dairy farms and finally
went to work and built a small dairy
house with my own hands at very lit
tle expense, aside from the material.
We were milking but a half dozen
cows, but I decided to increase the
Interior View of Farm Dairy House.
number gradually, as we made con
tracts to furnish fine butter to private
customers in the near-by city. I did
not like the idea of having the dairy
room contaminated with the odors of
either the barn or kitchen, so built
my dairy-house about half way be
tween the two.
I made the structure 14 by 16 feet,
and 8 feet to the eaves, using hem
lock bill stuff for framing. The outside
was covered with German lap siding
and a good shingle roof, and the build
ing complete cost me less than SSO.
I did all the work myself, and at this
time of the year when I was not busy.
Now is a good time to erect such a
small dairy-house and have It ready
when the cold weather comes on.
I laid a wood floor in my dairy
house at that time, but I should not
do it again. I should lay a good foun
dation wall of stone, set deep enough
to prevent any bad effect from freez
ing, and make it only just high enough
to secure good drainage. Of course
this would depend on the location and
the surrounding surface drainage. In
stead of putting in floor stringers and
a hardwood floor, I should fill the
space up to the required height and lay
a solid cement floor about four inches
thick. Curve the edges up with ce
ment to form a baseboard section
about six inches high, and fill in be
tween the studding. Finish the top
surface with a strong mixture of ce
ment and sharp sand, two to one. The
top of the base should be flush with
the ceiling laid on the inside of the
studing.
The picture shows the interior~of
the dairy house, which was ceiled
with matched pine some time after the
house had been used for butter-making
purposes. At first it had no ceiling,
except up about three feet from the
base to form a sort of wainscoting.
The cement floor should have a good
elope to one side, or end, with a solid
cement gutter connecting with a good
drain and trap into a sewer that runs
out some distance from the building.
Such a floor can be kept clean by fre
quent flushing with plenty of water,
and is about the best and most sani
tary arrangement I have ever seen.
Our dairy house was about 100 feet
from the barn. Each pail of milk was
carried directly into the dairy and
turned into the separator feed pan.
The picture shows the separator in
motion and the mistress of the farm
manipulating the crank. She has
never turned the machine while sep
arating, but took the position merely
to complete the picture. A ten-year
old boy can turn this machine with
ease, but the power I now like best
for this work is the gas engine.
The separator is atsrted soon after
milking begins and is over within a
few minutes after the last cow Is fin
ished. All utensils are flushed with
lukewarm water, washed in hot water
and steamed dry. The picture of this
room shows how the churn and sep
arator were run by hand.
Kindness to Animals.
It always pays well in dollars and
cents. A horse, cow or any other
stock on the farm will do more work
and give a greater return in every
way if well fed and well cared for.
Abuse in any way costs money, yet
how many fail to realize it. It seems
a little thing to hit a cow with the
milk stool because she slaps you in
the face with her tail while whacking
flies, but she gets back at you by
holding up her milk, and you are a
pint or more short. We are com
manded to love our how
much more important to love our
frispds and treat them kindly.

MAD AN EYE TO BUSINESS.
Romance Clearly Had Little to Do
with Silas' Marriage.
Preston Kendall, the actor, tells a
story of a ne'er-do-well in a little New
England town, where he has often
spent his summers. "I was walking
down the main street one day," said
Kendall, "when I saw old Silas grin
ning from ear to ear. I hardly thought
that he was that glad to see me. So,
after speaking to him, I said: 'Why
the smile that won't come off, Silas?
What has happened to make you so
happy this morning?' "I've been a-git
tin' married this morning,' was the un
expected reply. 'Married! You? I
exclaimed. 'Why, Silas, what on earth
have you done that for? You know
you can't even support yourself as it
Is.' 'Wall,' said Silas, 'you see, it's
this way: I ken purty near support
myself, an' I kind of figured out that
she could finish up the job.' "

The Unexpected.
The Judge was about to pass sen
tence upon the condemned man.
"In view of certain contingent cir
cumstances," he said, "I'm inclined to
treat you with leniency."
A veiled woman who was sitting at
a little distance suddenly burst into
tears.
"Are you the prisoner's wife?" his
honor inquired.
The woman could only nod.
"I think that In view of all these
mitigating Influences," the judge re
sumed, "I will fix three years—"
The veiled woman suddenly gasped.
"It ain't half enough, judge; it ain't
half enough!" she wildly shrieked.
Royalty on Exhibition.
In the eighteenth century the Lon
doner could look at royalty on Sun
day for a modest fee. In a guide to
London, published in 1767, it was said:
"At St. James' chapel royal by knock
ing at the side door and slipping a
shilling for each person Into the hang
of the verger who opens It, you may
have admittance and stand during di
vine service In presence of their
majesties; and for one shilling each
person more, you may sit In their roy
al presence, not In pews, but in turn
up seats on the side of them."
Mean Insinuation.
He was a brand-new milkman, and,
lacking the wisdom of more experi
enced members of the species, knew
not that on certain subjects he should
at all times maintain a frigid silence.
"It looks like rain this morning, mum,"
he said pleasantly, gazing skyward, as
he pou' d the milk Into hifc customer's
Jug. "It always does," was the curt
reply. And the milkman was BO dis
satisfied with the remark that he
strode away and savagely kicked a
lamp post.
THEN AND NOW
Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills.
"About nine years ago my daughter,
from coffee drinking, was on the verge
of nervous prostration," writes a Louis
ville lady. "She was confined for the
most part to her home.
' "When she attempted a trip down
town she was often brought home In a
cab and would be prostrated for days
afterwards.
"On the advice of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
"She liked Postum from the very
beginning and we soon saw improve
ment. To-day she is in perfect health,
the mother of five children, all of
whom are fond of Postum.
"She has recovered, is a member of
three charity organizations and a club,
holding an office in each. We give
Postum and Grape-Nuts the credit for
her recovery."

KNEW THE PIG'S WEAK POINT.
Youngster Wai Confident of Hla
Ability to "Stump" Him.
It Is an Interesting fact that the two
studies of arithmetic and geography
seem to b« diametrically opposed to
each other In the affections of school
children. Pupils who are particularly
proficient In one are apt to be back
ward In the other. A story Is told of
a little boy who was slow In arithme
tic, and whose apparent stupidity in
this field was a great source of grief
to his father, who had been a mathe
matician.
One day, when the father and son
were walking out, they passed a place
where a "learned pig" was on exhibi
tion, and the father took the boy to
see this porcine prodigy.
"Just look at that," said the father.
"Why, there's a pig that can count and
add up numbers! Don't you wish you
were as smart as he?"
"Ha!" answered the boy. "Just let
me ask him a few questions In geog

Cuticura Soon Cured Hla Eczema.
"An Itching humor covered both my
hands and got up over my wrists and
even up to the elbows. The Itching
and burning were terrible. My hands
got all scaly and when I scratched, the
nurface would be covered with blis
ters and then get raw. The eczema
got so bad that I could not move my
thumbs without deep cracks appearing.
I went to my doctor, but his medicine
could only stop the Itching. At night
I suffered so fearfully that I could not j
sleep. I could not bear to touch my !
hands with water. This went on for
three months and I was fairly worn
out. At last I got the Cuticura Reme

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION
The Increased use of "Torls" for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the
medical fraternity. It Is an almost In

tain other ingredients and taken prop

tive: "To one-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Torls Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa
rllla Compound. Take In tablespoon
ful doses before each meal and be
fore retiring."
Torls compound Is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu
