Flcor Plan of Stock Earn.
Tho stock barn herewith illustrated
■was planned for a Missouri stockman,
writes J. E. Bridgman in the Orange
Judd Farmer. The rather odd shape
was adopted for several reasons:
First, to have all the stock under one
roof; second, to keep each department
separate from the other departments;
third, to reduce to the minimum the
amount of labor required for feeding
the stock; fourth, to save and eco
nomically use every pound of manure.
Tho floor plan of the structure is
24x160 feet from east to west, and
34x134 feet from north to south, and
the two ells for hogs and sheep are
each 30x65 feet. The walls are 10
feet to the eaves, and the roof is self
supporting, which leaves a clear
space through the entire loft for
storing hay, etc. All partitions are
eight feet, except over the south front,
where they are 10 feet from the feed
rooms to the couth front. This is
done to allow for driving in a load
of hay in stormy weather. There are
45 cow stalls, three bull stalls, two
hospital stalls and three calf pens.
The horse barn has eight single stalls
and live large box stalls; the sheep
barn has six sheep pens 11x21 feet
each, and two lamb pens; the hog
house has 12 pens Bxll feet each, also
a feed and killing room 15x29 feet.
The south front has a tool room,
engine room and a watchman's room.
Stairways are located in both north
and south ends of the barn. The feed
rooms for horses and cows are so ar
ranged that the silage may be dropped
down the small chute in front of the
eilos. The door af this chute is al
ways closed, so that no odors may en
ter the cow barn. A small gas en
gine is used for elevating the ground
feed to six hopper-shaped bins, lo
cated over the feed rcums. The feed
Is drawn from tte bins through small
spouts as wanted.
I Bins for Btoring feed for hogs and
sheep are located over the sheep and
hog barns. All feed is handled with
feed carriers, and the tracks run
through all parts of the barn. All
manure and litter is also handled with
carriers, and when not spread at once,
is stored in a cement manure house.
i CHAMPION JERSEY FOR MILK

Scr* -. ■ -'A. ■ .-■■ ■, . • ' . . ,
Another world's record has beeu
broken. The new queen of the dairy
Is a beautiful Jersey cow named Sophie
Nineteenth of Hood Farm, owned and
tested at Hood farm, Lowell, Mass. She
Is the champion Jersey for milk and
butter fat production of cows between
four nn«l five years of age.
During the 12 months ending
December 31. 1910, on a test authenti
cated by the Massachusetts Agricul
tural college, under the rules of the
American Jersey Cattle club, Sophie
Nineteenth of Hood farm gave 14,373
pounds 3 oui ;es milk, testing 1,011
pounds 5 ounces butter or over half a
ton. An accurate account was kept
of her feed, and her milk Bold at ten
cents j:er q.iart made a profit of

The rnit*d States department of
agriculture'* estimate In round num
bers of 'he wealth produced each year
by tho 22,000,000 cows In the United
All gutters are drained to this manure
pit.
The exterior and interior are cov
ered with matched sheathing, which
is stripped with lx2-inch strips. The
strips are in turn covered with metal
lath, and the lath covered with two
coats of Portland cement. All ceil
ings are treated in the same manner,
except the sheathing is not used.
The roof is covered with the best
grade of asbestos felt roofing, which
makes it practically a fireproof barn.
The foundation is of native limestone,
for the reason that stone can be so
cured on tho farm at a very slight
cost.
The silos, set on cement pits four
feet deep, are built with 2x4-inch
studs, set 12 inches on centers; %x -
inch wooden hoops are bent around
the outside, and are doubled, one be
tween each door and one in the cen
ter of each door. The doors are 24x30
inches square, with 12-inch spaces be
tween. The hoops are covered with
lx2-inch strips, and treated in the
same manner as the walls of the barn.
The inside walls of the silos are lined
with hard-burned paving brick laid In
a thin cement.
All floors of the barn are of cement,
with wood slats for the horses. The
horses have cast-iron gutters, but the
cows have both the gutters and the
mangers made of cement, and the
mangers so arranged that they may
be flooded with water. The floors are
all trapped with drain traps, and the
entire barn may be washed with a
hose in a short time. The horses are
watered at the cement trough located
north of the feed room, and the
hogs and sheep are watered' with a
hose. The barn loft is supported on
three-Inch gas pipe, and all cow stalls
are of wood, with wire guards on top.
This barn is doubtless too large for
many of us, but there are many things
to be learned from it.
Ensilage.
Ensilage is one of the cheapest suc
culent feeds that can be supplied to
farm animals during the winter. It la
good feed, handy to deal out and verj
much relished by all classes of stock.
I States is $800,000,000, or an average
1 profit of S3C.3C per cow. If more at
j tention was paid to feeding and breed
ing it should be easy to increase the
average profit per cow to at least one
tenth of the profit made by Sophi«
Nineteenth of Hood farm, which would
raise the total to $1,240,000,000, an In
crease of $440,000,000.

DISFIGURED "wiThf ECZEMA
"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tle face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cutlcura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re
sult, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean aa
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cutlcura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which Is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cutlcura Reme
dies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H.

. THE GRIP
Colds and Chills Bring Kidney Ills
February, March and April are the backache months, because they arc months of colds, chills,
grip and pneumonia, with their congesting, weakening influence on the kidneys. Colds, chills, or grip strain
3ie kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders and uric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired
and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment,
etc. Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by nelping to pass off
the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring
months. They stop backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent colds from settling
on the kidneys. Strong testimony proves it. What better evidence could you ask?

That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex- Wnsffi J

cases treated were numbered by hundred* only. But when W J
that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- mil- WW e
