EXCELLENT MODEL OF WESTERN DAIRY BARN Plan Herewith Given Was Designed for the Greatest Economy of Time and Labor—Cement Foundation for All. mo NT PERSPECTIVE V/EW. (BY j. E BRIDGEMAN*.) The dairy barn herewith illustrated was designed for a dairyman who dis poses of the dairy products to private trade. To save labor the horse barn and wagon room are under the same roof with the cows and calves. In fact the building is really three barns, but all under the same roof — a horse barn with accommodations for ten horses, cow barn with stalls for 38 milch cows, and the small barn for nine dry cows or young stock, a large double calf stall and two bull pens. As will be seen by the floor plan, each department may be closed with sliding doors and entirely separated from all other departments. The entire building is plastered, both the exterior and interior, with two coats of Portland cement over ex panded metal lath, the studdings are two by six Inches, ten feet long, and the story is eight feet except over the horse barn, where It is nine feet, to allow for driving in with a load of hay in stormy weather; the story is ♦en feet over the wagon room. All oors are of cement, as also are the ceilings. The exterior walls are first covered with ship lap and striped for the lath; the space between the studding are tilled in with concrete up to the win « | j .;. iv ——— ■ il "~ , ~"~|;fTTTn I 1.U1,U.U 1 1 iTmil ' I'ZTI ' :l II I I llkfl-4-H I I I \"~ : —2— I j !

The stalls are formed of gas pipe, and the loft floor is supported on three-inch pipe; the box stalls and horse stalls are of six-inch flooring doubled, and have wire guards mount ed on the top.

Farmers—not alone in the east, but from the very best alfalfa-growing sec tions —are constantly complaining that they have made failures in trying to grow alfalfa. In moat cases the people who have made failure of growing alfalfa have , rot devoted much attention to the , study of the needs of the plant and , have tied it in a manner that would make success out of the question. , The more i see of the plant and con . the stock, and all gutters are drained to manure pits. Traps are placed in the floors for draining away the wash water and hydrants are placed at convenient points, so the entire barn may be washed down in a very short time. The two silos are 16 by 38 feet and are also plastered, the inside lined with brick, which receives a coat of plaster. Hay forks and feed and litter car riers arc installed, and reach all parts of the barn. The crop or ground feed Is stored in bins on the second floor and la drawn to the feedroom through eight inch spouts, as wanted. Silage is passed down the chutes between feedrooms and silos, and by keeping the doors closed all dust and odors are kept out of the cow barn. Hay is passed down in the feedrooms for the entire barn at one time, thus keeping the dust from the cow barn. A good cement foundation is pro vided for everything, and all exposed woodwork receives three coats of paint. The roof is covered with asbestos rooling felt, making tb" entire barn practically fire prool. ihe cost to build this barn was slightly more than if built of wood, but as it requires no paint and few repairs it would see'" that in the long run cement was the most economical building material for the farm. Kindness and cleanliness are the watchword in this barn, and every thing in reason is done to this end. The arrangement is such that the work of caring for and feeding the stock has been reduced to the mini mum, and one man can feed the entire barn in a very short time. is shown a screw piece which fits in and hitches onto the hooks behind the wagon, buggy, or horse.

Making Lime Nitrate. A few thousand tons of lime nitrate are made in various parts of Europe using electric power and combining the nitrogen of the air with lime. One estimate placed the cost of this nitrate at $52 to s6l per long ton. Experi ments made with this nitrate in com parison with the nitrate of soda from f'hiij, are generally favorable to the artificial, especially in .-sandy soil. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 191 c THE KENTUCKIAN WAS PLEASED HE SECURED A GOOD HALF-SEC TION IN CENTRAL CANADA. It is not only from Kentucky, but from thirty-five to forty different States that there comes the expression ■of satisfaction from those who have taken up lands in Central Canada as a free homestead or have purchased lands. Mr. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken tucky, writes to a Canadian Govern ment Official, and says:"l have just returned from Alberta, overjoyed with my trip. Your literature was very flattering, but not half what I found it. 1 bought a half section between Cal | gary and Edmonton, one mile from I railroad, near a good town. This is the best country I ever saw or ever expect to see. I will go in the spring and get to work on my place. I think It is the coming Country of the World." Some of the papers describe the set tling of the Canadian West as "be coming a fever with a great many peo ple. The lure of its golden promises is creeping into their hearts and many are they who are answering the call of that unsettled territory." This pa per editorially cautions its readers to exercise care and thought before mov ing to a distant country. This would be a wise precaution, and is exactly what the Canadian officials ask. The success of the settler who has made Canada his home for years is the best evidence that can be offered. And of the large number of Americans who have made their homes in Can ada. very few have returned. All are satisfied. HE KNEW HER She—lt's three o'clock. I'm going to my dressmaker.
