Among Other Things Has Special Ad-
vantage In Work of Distributing
Silage to Cows—Circular Con-
struction Strongest.
(By W J. FRASER.)
The round barn has a special ad-
vantage In the work of distributing
I silage to the cows Feeding com-
mences at the chute where it Is thrown
down and continued around the circle
ending with the silage cart at chute
again ready for the next feeding.
The same is true in feeding hay and
; grain.
Another great advantage Is the
I large, unobstructed haymow. With
j the self-supporting roof there are no
timbers whatever obstructing the
mow, which means no dragging of
hay around or ovor posts or girders.
The hay carrier runs on a circular
track around the mow, midway be-
tween the silo and the outside wall
and drops the hay at any desired
point, which means the saving of
much labor.
The clrcula# construction Ib the
at the rear of the platform, It will
accommodate 40 cows and leave space
for two passageways. But, In a
rectangular barn only three feet four
Inches platform space need bo allowed
for each cow and the 78%-foot barn,
with two three-foot paBBageways
across it for convenience in feeding,
will accomodate 42 cows. While the
rectangular barn has stall-room for two
more cowa, the round barn contains
spaoe In the center for a silo 18 feet
in diameter.
The complete bills for materials for
these barns show the exact saving in
lumber on the 60-foot round barn over
the plank and mortise frame rectan-
gular barns, 36x78H feet.
The lumber bills of the rectangular
barn show an increase in cost of 28
per cent for the plank frame and 54
per cent for the mortise frame. The
round barn, 60 feet In diameter, con-
tains 188V4. and the rectangular barn
225 lineal feet of wall.
The 90-foot round barn would hold
100 cows In two rows, headed together,
65 of which would be In the outer
circle and have three feet six inches
each in width at the gutter.

can on the flat Bide or gable ends of a

If the lumber 1b properly placed In
a round barn much of it will perform
two or more functions. Every row
of sldlng-boards running around the
building serves also as a brace and
the same Is true of the roof-boards
and the arched rafters. If the siding
Is put on vertically and the roof built
dome-shape, no scaffolding Is required
Inside or out. These are points
of economy in the round construc-
tion.
Another Item of economy In the
circular barn Is less framing lumber.
This form haB the strongest possible
construction with the least lum-
ber In the frame and the least bracing,
not a single timber larger than a 2x6
being required above the Bill. The
arched circular roof requires no sup-
port, and no scaffolding is needed in-
| side during Its construction. In com-
paring the 60-foot round barn with a
rectangular barn of the same area, the
two barns should afTord the cows the
same amount of space on the platform.
Allowing each cow In the 60-foot round
bam three feet six inches in width
leaves sufficient room for feed alleys
and walks and two passageways, one
three feet and the other seven feet
wide for the manure and feed carrier.
All of .this is outside of the central

and 71 feet high, with a capacity of
620 tons of silage and In the mow
there would still be an excess above
the capacity of the rectangular barn
of 33,000 cubic feet, which would hold
66 tons of hay or as much as the en-
tire mow of a barn 32x36 feet with
20-foot posts.

Sir Henry Lucy tells In the Corn-
hill Magazine a good story that he
had from Nanaen, the explorer. It
amusingly Illustrates the hardy health
of the Laplanders.
Part of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted of two
sleeping-bags made of undreBBed
skins. On the first night of the Jour-
ney Nansen and his two Norwegian
companions got Into one of the bags,
pulled the mouth tight across their
necks, and so slept In the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozlly tucked into
the other sleeping-bag. When he
awoke in the morning, almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
In which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty, and that they were no-
Thls I where In sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him, and scrambling
out of the bag went in search of
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind a hillock of snow that
they had Bcraped together as a pro-
tection against the wind.
"Ah, master," they said, when ask-
ed to explain this extraordinary con-
duct, "we couldn't sleep in that thing.
It was too hot, so we got out and
have had a comfortable night here."
Fashion Note.
Lady Duff Dordon, at a tea at the

ual money saving of from $379 to $1,-
184, depending upon the size and con-
struction of the barn.
Thoughtless men go on building rect-
angular barns, but what would this
reckless disregard of a possible sav-
ing of 34 to 58 per cent mean in a
year's business on the farm? If the
dairymen discarded the idea of a
rectangular barn and built a round
barn Instead, with the money thus
saved he could buy one of the best
pure bred sires for hiB herd, and also
from three to ten pure-bred heifers
or fine-grade cows. Either of - these
purchases might double the profit of
the herd, or this Baving properly ap-
plied, would purchase many labor-sav-
ing devices, which would make life
less of a drudgery on many dairy
farms.
Foods Necessary for Hogs.
Pigs, and, in fact, all hogs, should
have ready access at all times to salt
and ashes. Charred corn cobs are al-
ways excellent.
The reason why hogs so eagerly de-
vour coal, ashes, rotted wood and
such material is because they do not
have, while in close confinement, the
material their system demands. At
large they root such material from
the ground.
The farmer who grows a liberal sup-
ply of roots for his hogs seldom has
much trouble from the ordinary dis-
eases to which swine are subject.
She turned to a crusty old fellow
upon a Louis Seize chair beside her
and continued:
"I know a woman whose husband
growled at her when she tried on a
new pannier gown for him:
" 'I don't see why you wear those
ridiculous big panniers. You haven't
got the hips to fill them.'
"The woman blushed and bit her
lip. Then she said quietly:
" 'But do you fill your silk hat,
George?'"

House Plans Important.
The care in the home and all other
forms of household work are greatly
facilitated by right planning and tb
use of suitable - iterlals for tha
construction and iurnlshing of tha
home. An adequate and convenient
water supply and other conveniences
are essential, not only for comfort
and for saving labor, but also from
the standpoint of home hygiene.

CULTURAL METHODS TO IMPROVE TOBACCO
Most diseases start In the alimen-
tary canal—stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy fobd.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat—white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.—
these things are digested in the small
Intestines, and If we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, bo that fermenta-
tion, Indigestion, and a long train of
alls result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and thlB is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
Indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress but In building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
Bteady nerves. A Wash, woman
writes:
"About five yenrs ago I Buffered

tion. constipation—caused, I know

"I doctored for two years without

was no cure for me. I could not eat

came discouraged.

Although the average anniifel pro-
duction of tobacco In the United
States reaches nearly one billion
pounds, for which the farmer receives
about $100,000,000, the net profit to
the farmer ts much smaller than It
should be. Among the principal
causes for small profits from such an
Important crop are failure to follow
sound cultural methods, use of un-
adapted varieties or strains, damage
by Insects and diseases, and Imper-
fect knowledge of the principles that
apply to the processes of curing, fer-
menting and handling the leaf To
remedy these conditions the Depart-
ment of Agriculture In 1898 began to
Investigate the Improvement of to-
bacco production.
Kfforts to Introduce tho growing of
a high-grade cigar filler leaf from Cu-
ban seed In tho southern states have
demonstrated that this Industry can
h'e made a success. A satisfactory
substitute for tho Imported Sumatra
wrapper leaf has resulted by growing
Sumatra and Cuban types under artl-
acres of such tobacco (worth $2,00&*
000) were grown under shade In the
Connecticut valley. The Cuban bulk
method of fermenting has been suc-
cessfully Introduced Into northern
cigar-tobacco districts, resulting In a
more uniform and better product.
Substantial Improvements In the
methods of curing are now being In-
troduced, notably In the use of arti-
ficial heat In curing cigar tobaccos,
thus eliminating the loss from pole-
sweat. Poor burning quality In cigar
tobaccos renders them of little
value. ThlB Bubject has been thor-
oughly investigated and the principal
influencing factors have been worked
out.
Satisfactory methods have been de-
vised for controlling most of the Im-
portant Insects that attack tobacco,
particularly those damaging the crop
during the growing period. Tobacco
Is also subject to a number of de-
structive maladies such as the Mo-
saic disease, which occurs throughout
