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

dow sills, and all corners and angles
are carefully rounded, to avoid hiding
places for dirt and bacteria.
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.
The mangers of the cow barns are
arranged to be flooded when watering

REQUISITES OF
ALFALFA PLANT
Numerous Failurca in Growinjr
Crop Attributable to Lack
of Knowledge on Part
of the Farmer.
(BY B. E. LARA.)
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. The oth

The gas pipe hook shown at the top
is slipped through the roll of barbed
wire for unwinding.
verse with men who are succeeding in
I growing it the more I am of the opin
j ion that it will grow on many farms
| where it has proved a failure.
| Many who have >-» ad about it are
I skeptical and will not give it a fair
trial and many times when they do
try it they go at it in a half-hearted
manner and throw the seed upon the
soil anywhere it happens to drop and
condemn the plant if they happen to
get unsatisfactory results.
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.

An Exploded Theory.
"Do you believe there is anything
in mental suggestion?"
"Not a thing."
"Don't you think It is possible if
one person keeps his niind steadily
fixed on a certain thing which he
wishes another to do that the other j
will be influenced so that he will J
eventually do it?"
"No, I don't believe in the theory
at all. I've been wishing for a week
that you'd pay me what you owe me
without making it necessary for me
to ask you for it." —Sunday Magazine
of the Cleveland Leader.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dliv
rased portion of tlx* ear. There Is only one way to 1
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of ths
mucous lining of tho Kustachlan Tube. When thlfl
tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine case®
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an I'iflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
