The change In methods of feeding dairy cows Incident upon the growing use of the silo calls for a change in the character of dairy barns. N"o longer is large storage capacity needed for hay and other roughness, for the silo sup plies a large part of the bulky food, and silage, though coming under this head, Is not nt all "bulky" as compared with hay and other dry fodder. A plan is drawn in the accompanying Illustra tions which utilizes an old baru, adding |IKS DAISY BARN. to this wings on each side for the cow stalls. These wings cau be extended to any length desired, so that the number of cows to be kept need not be limited by the building. A whole new struc ture can be built after this plan, but It often happens that a small barn is at hand and the owner desires to enlarge his stock of cows. In such a case the wings can be added at less expense than would result from building one large barn to accommodate the desired number of cows. The floor plan shows nn exceedingly convenient arrangement for minimizing work, an important point when a large stock Is kept. From the end of the feed floor between the two silos runs a small feed car upon a track that branches at the entrance to the two alleys between the cow stalls, a turn table at the branch sending the car in either direction, as desired. A "switch" could be used Instead. The car passes the grain room and goes past the head of every stall, so that the work of feed ing the stock is reduced to its lowest terms. Eight pens and box stalls are provided for the accommodation of calves and cows with calf, while a number of stalls are devoted to young stock, as every dairy farm ought to raise the heifer calves from the best cows, to take the place of the poorest cows that can thus be turned off. This insures a constant Increase in the qual ity of the herd. At the end of each wing is a wide shed, into which the manure is wheeled Silo I: Silo Ami ■s"' ! • *1 £ Cow Stalls • ! *ll Tfrm rrmTf-i-Mii-l 1 |£| &ZP Cou> Stalls *> . FH EH FLOOR PLAN, [Showing the center and one of the two wings, which are alike.] from behind the stalls. This keeps the manure protected from rains and sun. The upper part of the main barn is used, for the storage of hay and other fodder. This Is carried directly from the second lloor of the barn into the lofts of the wings and Is put down through openings into the cows' cribs below. A car can be used on this sec ond floor if the wings are long. The loft in each wing Is just high enough so that a passageway is afforded along the center. Where the laud is sloping a manure cellar can often be secured beneath the wings, in which case the sheds would not be neeaed.—American Farmer Mag azine. Lime as a Fertilizer. As the result of various tests the Ohio experiment station says: Our experience with lime to the pres ent time may be condensed into the following statements: Lime does not take the place of fer tilizers or manure, and the farmer who is led to so use it will be disappointed. Lime is indispensable to the growth of clover on some Ohio soils, but be fore It can materially benefit the clt>- ver it must be preceded by liberal ma nuring or fertilizing with materials carrying both phosphorus and potas sium. I.lme may produce an increase of ce real crops on some soils, but only when used In connection with judi cious manuring or fertilizing. We have as yet no reason to believe that tlie so called "fertilizer lime*' now being pushed upon our market possess es any virtues not found in common lime. Tlic World's Wheat Crop. Preliminary estimates of the world's wheat crop are beginning to appear in leading grain trade journals. The fol lowing estimates have been published in Brooruhall's Corn Trade News, Beer bohm's Evening Corn Trade List and Dornbusch's Floating Cargoes Evening List. The estimates for 1!)04 are given side by side with the estimates of the same authorities for 1903 and 1002: 1904. 1903. 1902. Bushels, j Bushels. Bushels.

According to Professor Hansen of South Dakota, no apple less hardy than the Duchess should be planted in the, northern half of South Dakota. To prevent root killing In winter a mulch of stable manure spread several feet out beyond the branches of the trees Is recommended. If the fall Is dry, heavy soaking of the soil with water before the mulch is put on Is believed to be of great service. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Linens lu checked patterns are the latest weave. Sea green Is one of the prettiest of the season's colors in lawns. Messaline, taffeta inoussellne and loulsine are the silks generally em ployed for the frilly gowns of the day. White, green and yellow, the last shading to orange, are the colors that take precedence for trimming purposes. A pleasing effect of color is Intro duced by using a slip of organdie In floral pattern under gowns of white net. Fichus of embroidered lawn or soft musliu are frequently seen on the bodices in preference to the more stiff draperies of silk. Blouses of tuscan and fish net in white and ecru shades are exceedingly iwpular. They are worn over self color or contrasting linings.—Brooklyn Eagle. RAILWAY RUMBLES. Wages paid street car men in the United States annually amount to more than $88,000,000. The maximum load on tho Transsl berlan railroad Is only 500 tons. In America 2,500 tons comprise the aver age load. Japan has only half as many miles of railroad as New York state, al though it Is three times as large and has six times its population. The Wilmington and Weldou rail road, now a part of the Atlantic Coast line system, boasts of an unusual his tory. It is seventy-one years old and has never killed a passenger. It is 102 miles long and at the time of its con struction was the longest railroad la the world. STARVED OUT.
