WHY NOT PLAN FOR A
COVERED BARNYARD
One Man Who Has Done So With Success
Superintendent Frank H Hall of the
tlllnols farmers' Institute in addition
to being one of the leading agricul-
tural educators in the middle west 1b
a practical farm operator on hiB own
account One of the features of his
dairy farm Is a covered barnyard in
which the cows run loose Instead of
being stalled
A good idea of his stable arrange-
ment is shown in the accompanying
Illustration Ab reported in circular
the same cows and in the same or-
der When the milkers are ready the
gates at the rear of the stalls are
opened one cow enters each stall and
the gates are closed The cows eat
their grain while being milked and
pass out through the gates at the front
of the stalls into the other side of
the shed As the manger and gates
divide the shed the cows that have
been milked are forced to remain on

Ground Plan of F H Hall's Loose Cow Stable
93 of the Illinois experiment station
on Superintendent Hall’s farm a space
( In the barn 35x52 feet is devoted to
the cows A manger running length-
wise extends to within eight feet of
the wall at each end These spaces
between the manger and the wall are
closed by gates At milking time all
of the cows "are driven to the
side of the manger on which the
water tank is situated and the gates
are closed
The door of the milking room is
then opened and the boss cows are
always ready to enter Near the end
of this room are three stalls in which
the milking is done and it is surpris-
ing to note how quickly each cow
learns In which stall she is to be
milked and the order in which her
turn comes so that the three milkers
have little difficulty in always milking
one side and cannot come to the milk-
ing stalls a second time
All grain is fed in the milking stalls
and the roughage from the large man-
ger In the center of the shed This
manger is raised as fast as the manure
accumulates so that it is always a con-
venient height for the cows In this
herd of 33 cows not a soiled cow was
seen
When asked what he considered to
be the chief advantage of keeping
dairy cows in this way over the ordi-
nary method of stabling Superin-
tendent Hall replied:
“By this method we have cleaner
cows and increased milk flow we save
labor in cleaning stables and in haul-
ing out manure and the fertility in
the manure Is preserved more completely"

GRADINGJF CREAMl
By F A Jorgensen
There is at present more or less
grading of cream taking place in our
creameries but two creameries scarce
ly ever grade alike There are even
creameries that do not grade alike for
all their patrons and some that grade
for part of their patrons only These
widely different methods of grading
are not recommendable and especially
In places where there is a great deal
of changing around of patrons For if
a man takes his cream to one cream-
ery for awhile and gets it graded and
then takes it to another and gets it
graded differently there it will In
many instances tend to have the pa-
tron lose faith in the grading He
comes to the conclusion it is a swin-
dling deal since they don’t grade alike
— just one more way of robbing him
Therefore if the creamery men could
work In harmony then they could
adopt some common method and allow
a large enough discrimination so it
would encourage the patron to pro-
duce a good article Besides the sys-
tem of grading would have much more
effect
price ' paid between a first grade of
cream and the poorer one is as a rule
not large enough and it may be justly
said that the undue competition is the
very cause of it It is also the very
cause of the present abuse of the Bab-
cock test which can be found in every-
day practice in many of our cream-
eries Where competition is sharp
some of the tests are under-read In
order to give some a higher test than
they are entitled to This Is the cause
of much of the dissatisfaction among
se many of the creamery patrons It
is unjust and it tends to make them
slack and produce an inferior grade of
cream Therefore it ought to be
stopped But It cannot be done ei'
cept through a combined effort of the
dairy and creamerymen of the state
Clean Milk Utensils — I believe the
ordinary ten-gallon milk can used for
the transportation of commercial milk
has been the cause of more trouble
than any other one thing declares an
Ohio correspondent of the Orange
Judd Farmer Frequently cans which
are supposed to be clean contain a half
pint of filthy rinsing water I believe
there Bhould be an ordinance in every
village and city compelling the milk
vender to wash and sterilize his cans
thoroughly before sending them to the
producer In the washing of milk
utensils you should not use soap pow-
ders or soaps of any kind which con-
tain organic fat By so doing you may
convey to your milk undesirable flar
vors and cause to remain In your
utensils deposits which will contami-
nate or deteriorate the milk
Think How the Hog Feels — Try it
and see if yOu can live through the
summer without any green vegetables
from the garden Then try to imagine
At present the difference in ow og especially the growing
‘ pig can get through the summer with-
out pasture If you have no money to
put into fencing for a pasture sell half
the hogs and provide pasture for the
other half You will have as much
money and the pasture besides at the
end of the year
New York’s Milk Appetite— The
product of 86000 dairy farms Is re-
quired to supply New York and some
of its milk comes 400 miles
Cowpeas— Cowpeas are great milk
producers I advise all dairymen to
grow them as they give large yields
and are beneficial to the soil
Some men are
rich becmise they
are honest indus-
trious and intelli-
gent Theii
credit makes it
easy for them to
acquire wealth
Others are poor
like Moses and
Elijah Peter
and Paul because
their mission in
the world Is other
than making
money Their pov-
erty proves their
faithfulness to a high ideal Other men
are -rich because they are dishonest
They have wrecked corporations cor-
nered the market and treated rivals un-
fairly that they might fill their coffers
Other men are poor because they re-
fuse to adopt the tricks of trade or
to enter into conspiracies to defraud
They choose to lose money that they
may save character
The Bible says in Deut 8:18:
"Thou shalt remember the Lord thy
God for it is he that giveth power to
get wealth" The talent for making
money is the gift of God to be used
like other gifts for his glory and mak-
ing money for God’s glory is as holy as
praying - -
Evil Ways of Money Getting
Competition means war and the
ethics of war is so low that deception
is a virtue ' Military men call it strat-
egy politicians call it diplomacy but
the English call it lying
The ethics of the battlefield and the -political
arena has bean transferred to
trade so that many men of business
do not hesitate to deceive in order to
make larger profits A man In an in-
quiry meeting declared that he could
not be a Christian because his profit's
depended upon labeling second-class
goods as first class Such a man
may make a living but not a life He
builds up a fortune while he tears
down his character He floats his
business while he drowns his soul
for “they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare and Into many
foolish and hurtful lusts that drown
men in destruction and perdition”
(1 Tim 6:9) Jesus said: "A man’s
life consisteth not in the abundance
of the things which he possesseth”
(Luke 12:15)
Cleansing Power of Giving
The Bible says again: "Charge them
that are rich in this world that they
do good that they be rich in good
works” (1 Tim 6:17) "Remember
the words of the Lord Jesus how he
said it is more blessed to give than
to receive" (Acts 20:35) To get
and hold is to become an octopus with
tentacles that take in but never give
off It is to become a Dead sea with
no life in Its waters an ugly blot on
the landscape the octopus of geog-
raphy To give as we have re-
ceiyed is to become a1 Sea of Galilee
with pure water full of life a gem
of beauty Giving is a cleansing
process
Make Your Money Immortal
The most emphatic message of the
Bible is: Make your money immortal
"Lay up for yourselves treasures In
heaven” (Matt 6:20) Transmute
your money which is seen and tem-
poral into character which is unseen
and eternal
How can this be done most effec-
'tively? Give scripturally Learn
what the Bible teaches on this subject
and do that In Luke 11:42 Jesus
said: “Ye tithe mint- and rue and all
manner of herbs and pass over judg-
ment and the love of God these ought
ye to have done and not to leave the
other undone” "These ought ye to
have done” is Christ’s Indorsement of
the principle of tithing and the Chris-
tian can have no higher authority
The Mosaic law demanded that one-’
seventh of the time and one-tenth of
the income should be devoted to the
Lord and the Gospel never falls short
of the law in its requirements but
rather goes beyond it The Sermon
on the Mount reveals that the Gospel
demands of the Christian more than
the law The law says: “Thou shalt
not kill" but the Gospel says: "Thou
shalt not hate” etc
Free Will Offerings
One-tenth is the minimum while we
should give in free-will offerings as
much more as gratitude may prompt
Do this every week
On the first day of the week let
every one of you lay by him in store
as God hath prospered him" (1 Cor
16:2) Remember that Jesus stood
over against the treasury and watched
how they gave The widow gave with
the spirit of loving sacrifice and this
manner of giving counted for more
with Christ than the abundance of the
wealthy
John Wesley’s motto was: “Make
all you can save all you can give
all you can” If you make and give
with a view of giving your labor is as
religious as your prayers "What are
you doing this morning?” asked a
neighbor as he entered a blacksmith
shop while the smithy was striking
the hot iron on the anvil "Preaching
the Gospel to the regions beyond” was
the repl as he struck the Iron a little
harder and make the sparks fly
farther And the labor of this humble
man was transfigured by the glory of
a high and holy motive

A Man’s Tact
Nobody but Mr Henley would have
asked such a question in the first-
place "Miss Fairley” he said "if you
could make yourself over what kind
of hair and eyes would you have?”
"If I could make myself over” Bald
Miss Fairley "I would look just ex-
actly as I do now”
"You would?” exclaimed Heifley in
honest surprise and to this day he
can't understand why Miss Fairley
thinks him a man of little taste and
less tact
TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack — Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It—
Owe Recovery to Cuticura
"In 1884 my grandson a babe had
an attack of eczema and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy hills
and an Increase of the disease and suf-
fering I recommended Cuticura and
in a few weeks the child was well He
Is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease A few years
ago I contracted eczema and became
an intense sufferer A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes
nearly from the knees to the toes be-
ing covered with virulent sores I tried
many doctors to no purpose Then I
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement i and

A "perfect lady” was charged in the
police court with having broken her
umbrella over the head of another

‘What have you to say to the
charge?” asked the magistrate
“It was an accident your' honor”
“Do you mean to say that after
smashing an 'umbrella over this wom-
an’s head you” claim "ir was an" acci-
dent?” “Sure yes hut I meant not to break
my umbrella” '

city than it does in the country but
it costs three times as much to keep
up appearances” — Chicago News
